2016-03-21Merge branch 'for-4.6-ns' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup namespace support from Tejun Heo: "These are changes to implement namespace support for cgroup which has been pending for quite some time now. It is very straight-forward and only affects what part of cgroup hierarchies are visible. After unsharing, mounting a cgroup fs will be scoped to the cgroups the task belonged to at the time of unsharing and the cgroup paths exposed to userland would be adjusted accordingly" * 'for-4.6-ns' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: fix and restructure error handling in copy_cgroup_ns() cgroup: fix alloc_cgroup_ns() error handling in copy_cgroup_ns() Add FS_USERNS_FLAG to cgroup fs cgroup: Add documentation for cgroup namespaces cgroup: mount cgroupns-root when inside non-init cgroupns kernfs: define kernfs_node_dentry cgroup: cgroup namespace setns support cgroup: introduce cgroup namespaces sched: new clone flag CLONE_NEWCGROUP for cgroup namespace kernfs: Add API to generate relative kernfs path

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "cgroup changes for v4.6-rc1. No userland visible behavior changes in this pull request. I'll send out a separate pull request for the addition of cgroup namespace support. - The biggest change is the revamping of cgroup core task migration and controller handling logic. There are quite a few places where controllers and tasks are manipulated. Previously, many of those places implemented custom operations for each specific use case assuming specific starting conditions. While this worked, it makes the code fragile and difficult to follow. The bulk of this pull request restructures these operations so that most related operations are performed through common helpers which implement recursive (subtrees are always processed consistently) and idempotent (they make cgroup hierarchy converge to the target state rather than performing operations assuming specific starting conditions). This makes the code a lot easier to understand, verify and extend. - Implicit controller support is added. This is primarily for using perf_event on the v2 hierarchy so that perf can match cgroup v2 path without requiring the user to do anything special. The kernel portion of perf_event changes is acked but userland changes are still pending review. - cgroup_no_v1= boot parameter added to ease testing cgroup v2 in certain environments. - There is a regression introduced during v4.4 devel cycle where attempts to migrate zombie tasks can mess up internal object management. This was fixed earlier this week and included in this pull request w/ stable cc'd. - Misc non-critical fixes and improvements" * 'for-4.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (44 commits) cgroup: avoid false positive gcc-6 warning cgroup: ignore css_sets associated with dead cgroups during migration Documentation: cgroup v2: Trivial heading correction. cgroup: implement cgroup_subsys->implicit_on_dfl cgroup: use css_set->mg_dst_cgrp for the migration target cgroup cgroup: make cgroup[_taskset]_migrate() take cgroup_root instead of cgroup cgroup: move migration destination verification out of cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() cgroup: fix incorrect destination cgroup in cgroup_update_dfl_csses() cgroup: Trivial correction to reflect controller. cgroup: remove stale item in cgroup-v1 document INDEX file. cgroup: update css iteration in cgroup_update_dfl_csses() cgroup: allocate 2x cgrp_cset_links when setting up a new root cgroup: make cgroup_calc_subtree_ss_mask() take @this_ss_mask cgroup: reimplement rebind_subsystems() using cgroup_apply_control() and friends cgroup: use cgroup_apply_enable_control() in cgroup creation path cgroup: combine cgroup_mutex locking and offline css draining cgroup: factor out cgroup_{apply|finalize}_control() from cgroup_subtree_control_write() cgroup: introduce cgroup_{save|propagate|restore}_control() cgroup: make cgroup_drain_offline() and cgroup_apply_control_{disable|enable}() recursive cgroup: factor out cgroup_apply_control_enable() from cgroup_subtree_control_write() ...
2016-03-17mm: memcontrol: reclaim and OOM kill when shrinking memory.max below usageJohannes Weiner
Setting the original memory.limit_in_bytes hardlimit is subject to a race condition when the desired value is below the current usage. The code tries a few times to first reclaim and then see if the usage has dropped to where we would like it to be, but there is no locking, and the workload is free to continue making new charges up to the old limit. Thus, attempting to shrink a workload relies on pure luck and hope that the workload happens to cooperate. To fix this in the cgroup2 memory.max knob, do it the other way round: set the limit first, then try enforcement. And if reclaim is not able to succeed, trigger OOM kills in the group. Keep going until the new limit is met, we run out of OOM victims and there's only unreclaimable memory left, or the task writing to memory.max is killed. This allows users to shrink groups reliably, and the behavior is consistent with what happens when new charges are attempted in excess of memory.max.

2016-02-10Merge branch 'for-4.5-fixes' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: - The destruction path of cgroup objects are asynchronous and multi-staged and some of them ended up destroying parents before children leading to failures in cpu and memory controllers. Ensure that parents are always destroyed after children. - cpuset mm node migration was performed synchronously while holding threadgroup and cgroup mutexes and the recent threadgroup locking update resulted in a possible deadlock. The migration is best effort and shouldn't have been performed under those locks to begin with. Made asynchronous. - Minor documentation fix. * 'for-4.5-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: Documentation: cgroup: Fix 'cgroup-legacy' -> 'cgroup-v1' cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't freed before its children cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't offlined before its children cpuset: make mm migration asynchronous
