[PATCHSET v2 cgroup/for-3.16] cgroup: post unified hierarchy fixes and updates

[Tejun Heo]

Hello,

Changes from the last take[L] are,

* 0002, 0003 and 0007 added.

* Other patches are refreshed without content change.

This patchset contains the following seven patches.

 0001-cgroup-fix-offlining-child-waiting-in-cgroup_subtree.patch
 0002-cgroup-cgroup_idr_lock-should-be-bh.patch
 0003-cgroup-css_release-shouldn-t-clear-cgroup-subsys.patch
 0004-cgroup-update-and-fix-parsing-of-cgroup.subtree_cont.patch
 0005-cgroup-use-restart_syscall-for-retries-after-offline.patch
 0006-cgroup-use-release_agent_path_lock-in-cgroup_release.patch
 0007-cgroup-rename-css_tryget-to-css_tryget_online.patch

0001 fixes two bugs in cgroup_subtree_control_write().

0004 fixes and makes subtree_control parsing stricter.

0005 simplifies cgroup_substree_control_write() retry path by using
restart_syscall().

0006 makes cgroup_release_agent_show() use release_path_lock.  The
original conversion missed this one.

0007 renames css_tryget() to css_tryget_online().  This patch was
posted separately before - [1] - and acked by Michal and Johannes.

This patchset is on top of cgroup/for-3.16 6e1a046e9458 ("Merge branch
'for-3.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
into for-3.16") and available in the following git branch.

[PATCH 1/7] cgroup: fix offlining child waiting in cgroup_subtree_control_write()

[Tejun Heo]

cgroup_subtree_control_write() waits for offline to complete
child-by-child before enabling a controller; however, it has a couple
bugs.

* It doesn't initialize the wait_queue_t.  This can lead to infinite
  hang on the following schedule() among other things.

* It forgets to pin the child before releasing cgroup_tree_mutex and
  performing schedule().  The child may already be gone by the time it
  wakes up and invokes finish_wait().  Pin the child being waited on.

[PATCH 2/7] cgroup: cgroup_idr_lock should be bh

[Tejun Heo]

cgroup_idr_remove() can be invoked from bh leading to lockdep
detecting possible AA deadlock (IN_BH/ON_BH).  Make the lock bh-safe.

[PATCH 3/7] cgroup: css_release() shouldn't clear cgroup->subsys[]

[Tejun Heo]

c1a71504e971 ("cgroup: don't recycle cgroup id until all csses' have
been destroyed") made cgroup ID persist until a cgroup is released and
add cgroup->subsys[] clearing to css_release() so that css_from_id()
doesn't return a css which has already been released which happens
before cgroup release; however, the right change here was updating
offline_css() to clear cgroup->subsys[] which was done by e32978031016
("cgroup: cgroup->subsys[] should be cleared after the css is
offlined") instead of clearing it from css_release().

We're now clearing cgroup->subsys[] twice.  This is okay for
traditional hierarchies as a css's lifetime is the same as its
cgroup's; however, this confuses unified hierarchy and turning on and
off a controller repeatedly using "cgroup.subtree_control" can lead to
an oops like the following which happens because cgroup->subsys[] is
incorrectly cleared asynchronously by css_release().

[PATCH 4/7] cgroup: update and fix parsing of "cgroup.subtree_control"

[Tejun Heo]

I was confused that strsep() was equivalent to strtok_r() in skipping
over consecutive delimiters.  strsep() just splits at the first
occurrence of one of the delimiters which makes the parsing very
inflexible, which makes allowing multiple whitespace chars as
delimters kinda moot.  Let's just be consistently strict and require
list of tokens separated by spaces.  This is what
Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt describes too.

Also, parsing may access beyond the end of the string if the string
ends with spaces or is zero-length.  Make sure it skips zero-length
tokens.  Note that this also ensures that the parser doesn't puke on
multiple consecutive spaces.

v2: Add zero-length token skipping.

[PATCH 5/7] cgroup: use restart_syscall() for retries after offline waits in cgroup_subtree_control_write()

[Tejun Heo]

After waiting for a child to finish offline,
cgroup_subtree_control_write() jumps up to retry from after the input
parsing and active protection breaking.  This retry makes the
scheduled locking update more difficult.  Let's simplify it by
returning with restart_syscall() for retries.

[PATCH 6/7] cgroup: use release_agent_path_lock in cgroup_release_agent_show()

[Tejun Heo]

release_path is now protected by release_agent_path_lock to allow
accessing it without grabbing cgroup_mutex; however,
cgroup_release_agent_show() was still grabbing cgroup_mutex.  Let's
convert it to release_agent_path_lock so that we don't have to worry
about this one for the planned locking updates.

[PATCH 7/7] cgroup: rename css_tryget*() to css_tryget_online*()

[Tejun Heo]

Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the
distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection
against upping a refcnt which already reached zero.  cgroup is
planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already
reached zero.  Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly
indicate that they're onliness.

I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new
names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each
controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it
seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about
on/offline state.

Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir()
to css_tryget_online_from_dir().  This is pure rename.

[PATCH v2 7/7] cgroup: rename css_tryget*() to css_tryget_online*()

[Tejun Heo]

>From 23d99584b0e6fd209f6106866836e6cdadba9c03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Date: Fri, 9 May 2014 15:46:38 -0400

Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the
distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection
against upping a refcnt which already reached zero.  cgroup is
planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already
reached zero.  Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly
indicate that they're onliness.

I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new
names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each
controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it
seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about
on/offline state.

Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir()
to css_tryget_online_from_dir().  This is pure rename.

v2: cgroup_freezer grew new usages of css_tryget().  Update
    accordingly.
