It's a sad fact that at this point various cgroup controllers are
carrying so many idiosyncrasies and pure insanities that it simply
isn't possible to reach any sort of sane consistent behavior while
maintaining staying fully compatible with what already has been
exposed to userland.
As we can't break exposed userland interface, transitioning to sane
behaviors can only be done in steps while maintaining backwards
compatibility. This patch introduces a new mount option -
__DEVEL__sane_behavior - which disables crazy features and enforces
consistent behaviors in cgroup core proper and various controllers.
As exactly which behaviors it changes are still being determined, the
mount option, at this point, is useful only for development of the new
behaviors. As such, the mount option is prefixed with __DEVEL__ and
generates a warning message when used.
Eventually, once we get to the point where all controller's behaviors
are consistent enough to implement unified hierarchy, the __DEVEL__
prefix will be dropped, and more importantly, unified-hierarchy will
enforce sane_behavior by default. Maybe we'll able to completely drop
the crazy stuff after a while, maybe not, but we at least have a
strategy to move on to saner behaviors.
This patch introduces the mount option and changes the following
behaviors in cgroup core.
* Mount options "noprefix" and "clone_children" are disallowed. Also,
cgroupfs file cgroup.clone_children is not created.
* When mounting an existing superblock, mount options should match.
This is currently pretty crazy. If one mounts a cgroup, creates a
subdirectory, unmounts it and then mount it again with different
option, it looks like the new options are applied but they aren't.
* Remount is disallowed.
The behaviors changes are documented in the comment above
CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR enum and will be expanded as different
controllers are converted and planned improvements progress.
v2: Dropped unnecessary explicit file permission setting sane_behavior
cftype entry as suggested by Li Zefan.

While controllers shouldn't be accessing cgroupfs_root directly, it
being hidden inside kern/cgroup.c makes somethings pretty silly. This
makes routing hierarchy-wide settings which need to be visible to
controllers cumbersome.
We're gonna add another hierarchy-wide setting which needs to be
accessed from controllers. Move cgroupfs_root and its flags to the
header file so that we can access root settings with inline helpers.

A couple controllers want to determine whether two cgroups are in
ancestor/descendant relationship. As it's more likely that the
descendant is the primary subject of interest and there are other
operations focusing on the descendants, let's ask is_descendent rather
than is_ancestor.
Implementation is trivial as the previous patch guarantees that all
ancestors of a cgroup stay accessible as long as the cgroup is
accessible.

When a cpuset becomes empty (no CPU or memory), its tasks are
transferred with the nearest ancestor with execution resources. This

cgroup_mutex and invokes cgroup_attach_task() on each task.
Both cgroup_mutex and cgroup_attach_task() are scheduled to be

is essentially the same as move_member_tasks_to_cpuset() except that
it takes cgroups instead of cpusets and @to comes before @from like

PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were
bound to a specific CPU using kthread_bind() and a task with the flag
set allows cpus_allowed modifications only to itself. Workqueue is
currently abusing it to prevent userland from meddling with
cpus_allowed of workqueue workers.
What we need is a flag to prevent userland from messing with
cpus_allowed of certain kernel tasks. In kernel, anyone can
(incorrectly) squash the flag, and, for worker-type usages,
restricting cpus_allowed modification to the task itself doesn't
provide meaningful extra proection as other tasks can inject work
items to the task anyway.
This patch replaces PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY.
sched_setaffinity() checks the flag and return -EINVAL if set.

rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can
be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access
a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold
a longer name.
As accessing dentry->name must be protected by dentry->d_lock or
parent inode's i_mutex, while on the other hand cgroup-path() can
be called with some irq-safe spinlocks held, we can't generate
cgroup path using dentry->d_name.
Alternatively we make a copy of dentry->d_name and save it in
cgrp->name when a cgroup is created, and update cgrp->name at
rename().

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

These 2 syncronize_rcu()s make attaching a task to a cgroup
quite slow, and it can't be ignored in some situations.
A real case from Colin Cross: Android uses cgroups heavily to
manage thread priorities, putting threads in a background group
with reduced cpu.shares when they are not visible to the user,
and in a foreground group when they are. Some RPCs from foreground
threads to background threads will temporarily move the background
thread into the foreground group for the duration of the RPC.
This results in many calls to cgroup_attach_task.
In cgroup_attach_task() it's task->cgroups that is protected by RCU,
and put_css_set() calls kfree_rcu() to free it.
If we remove this synchronize_rcu(), there can be threads in RCU-read
sections accessing their old cgroup via current->cgroups with
concurrent rmdir operation, but this is safe.

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user
space interface is now complete.
This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
using cool new kernel features is broken.
This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
the pid, user, mount namespaces.
This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of
the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At
least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.
The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
checks are always applied.
The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
namespaces.
Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes
for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
tree.
Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
/proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.
Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.
Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."

All cgroup directory i_mutexes nest outside cgroup_mutex; however, new
directory creation is a special case. A new cgroup directory is
created while holding cgroup_mutex. Populating the new directory
requires both the new directory's i_mutex and cgroup_mutex. Because
all directory i_mutexes nest outside cgroup_mutex, grabbing both
requires releasing cgroup_mutex first, which isn't a good idea as the
new cgroup isn't yet ready to be manipulated by other cgroup
opreations.
This is worked around by grabbing the new directory's i_mutex while
holding cgroup_mutex before making it visible. As there's no other
user at that point, grabbing the i_mutex under cgroup_mutex can't lead
to deadlock.
cgroup_create_file() was using I_MUTEX_CHILD to tell lockdep not to
worry about the reverse locking order; however, this creates pseudo
locking dependency cgroup_mutex -> I_MUTEX_CHILD, which isn't true -
all directory i_mutexes are still nested outside cgroup_mutex. This
pseudo locking dependency can lead to spurious lockdep warnings.
Use mutex_trylock() instead. This will always succeed and lockdep
doesn't create any locking dependency for it.

Replace the manual unrolling and invoke cgroup_unload_subsys() on

cgroup->dentry is marked and used as a RCU pointer; however, it isn't
one - the final dentry put doesn't go through call_rcu(). cgroup and
dentry share the same RCU freeing rule via synchronize_rcu() in
cgroup_diput() (kfree_rcu() used on cgrp is unnecessary). If cgrp is
accessible under RCU read lock, so is its dentry and dereferencing
cgrp->dentry doesn't need any further RCU protection or annotation.
While not being accurate, before the previous patch, the RCU accessors
served a purpose as memory barriers - cgroup->dentry used to be
assigned after the cgroup was made visible to cgroup_path(), so the
assignment and dereferencing in cgroup_path() needed the memory
barrier pair. Now that list_add_tail_rcu() happens after
cgroup->dentry is assigned, this no longer is necessary.
Remove the now unnecessary and misleading RCU annotations from
cgroup->dentry. To make up for the removal of rcu_dereference_check()
in cgroup_path(), add an explicit rcu_lockdep_assert(), which asserts
the dereference rule of @cgrp, not cgrp->dentry.

While creating a new cgroup, cgroup_create() links the newly allocated
cgroup into various places before trying to create its directory.
Because cgroup life-cycle is tied to the vfs objects, this makes it
impossible to use cgroup_rmdir() for rolling back creation - the
removal logic depends on having full vfs objects.
This patch moves directory creation above linking and collect linking
operations to one place. This allows directory creation failure to
share error exit path with css allocation failures and any failure
sites afterwards (to be added later) can use cgroup_rmdir() logic to
undo creation.
Note that this also makes the memory barriers around cgroup->dentry,
which currently is misleadingly using RCU operations, unnecessary.
This will be handled in the next patch.
While at it, locking BUG_ON() on i_mutex is converted to
lockdep_assert_held().

Currently, cgroup doesn't provide any generic helper for walking a
given cgroup's children or descendants. This patch adds the following
three macros.
* cgroup_for_each_child() - walk immediate children of a cgroup.
* cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() - visit all descendants of a cgroup
in pre-order tree traversal.
* cgroup_for_each_descendant_post() - visit all descendants of a
cgroup in post-order tree traversal.
All three only require the user to hold RCU read lock during
traversal. Verifying that each iterated cgroup is online is the
responsibility of the user. When used with proper synchronization,
cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() can be used to propagate state
updates to descendants in reliable way. See comments for details.

This becomes a problem later when we add generic descendants walking
to cgroup which can be used by controllers as controllers don't have a
synchronization point where it can synchronize against new cgroups
appearing in such walks.
This patch adds ->post_create(). It's called after all ->create()
succeeded and the cgroup is linked into the generic cgroup hierarchy.
This plays the counterpart of ->pre_destroy().
When used in combination with the to-be-added generic descendant

CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is another kludge which was added to make cgroup
destruction rollback somewhat working. cgroup_rmdir() used to drain
CSS references and CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR and the associated waitqueue and
helpers were used to allow the task performing rmdir to wait for the
next relevant event.
Unfortunately, the wait is visible to controllers too and the
mechanism got exposed to memcg by 887032670d ("cgroup avoid permanent
sleep at rmdir").
Now that the draining and retries are gone, CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is
unnecessary. Remove it and all the mechanisms supporting it. Note

Because ->pre_destroy() could fail and can't be called under
cgroup_mutex, cgroup destruction did something very ugly.
1. Grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can be destroyed; fail otherwise.
2. Release cgroup_mutex and call ->pre_destroy().
3. Re-grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can still be destroyed; fail
otherwise.
4. Continue destroying.
In addition to being ugly, it has been always broken in various ways.
For example, memcg ->pre_destroy() expects the cgroup to be inactive
after it's done but tasks can be attached and detached between #2 and
#3 and the conditions that memcg verified in ->pre_destroy() might no
longer hold by the time control reaches #3.
Now that ->pre_destroy() is no longer allowed to fail. We can switch
to the following.
1. Grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can be destroyed; fail otherwise.
2. Deactivate CSS's and mark the cgroup removed thus preventing any
further operations which can invalidate the verification from #1.
3. Release cgroup_mutex and call ->pre_destroy().
4. Re-grab cgroup_mutex and continue destroying.
After this change, controllers can safely assume that ->pre_destroy()
will only be called only once for a given cgroup and, once
->pre_destroy() is called, the cgroup will stay dormant till it's
destroyed.
This removes the only reason ->pre_destroy() can fail - new task being
attached or child cgroup being created inbetween. Error out path is
removed and ->pre_destroy() invocation is open coded in
cgroup_rmdir().

cgroup_mkdir() and cgroup_rmdir() are synchronized by i_mutex
rendering the added liveliness check unnecessary.
Do it anyway such that locking is contained inside cgroup proper and
we don't get nasty surprises if we ever grow another caller of
cgroup_create().

CSS_REMOVED is one of the several contortions which were necessary to
support css reference draining on cgroup removal. All css->refcnts
which need draining should be deactivated and verified to equal zero
atomically w.r.t. css_tryget(). If any one isn't zero, all refcnts
needed to be re-activated and css_tryget() shouldn't fail in the
process.
This was achieved by letting css_tryget() busy-loop until either the
refcnt is reactivated (failed removal attempt) or CSS_REMOVED is set
(committing to removal).
Now that css refcnt draining is no longer used, there's no need for
atomic rollback mechanism. css_tryget() simply can look at the
reference count and fail if it's deactivated - it's never getting
re-activated.
This patch removes CSS_REMOVED and updates __css_tryget() to fail if
the refcnt is deactivated. As deactivation and removal are a single
step now, they no longer need to be protected against css_tryget()
happening from irq context. Remove local_irq_disable/enable() from
cgroup_rmdir().
Note that this removes css_is_removed() whose only user is VM_BUG_ON()
in memcontrol.c. We can replace it with a check on the refcnt but
given that the only use case is a debug assert, I think it's better to
simply unexport it.

added per Michal Hocko.

2ef37d3fe4 ("memcg: Simplify mem_cgroup_force_empty_list error
handling") removed the last user of __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs. This
patch removes __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs and mechanisms to support
it.
* Conditionals dependent on __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs removed.
* cgroup_clear_css_refs() can no longer fail. All that needs to be
done are deactivating refcnts, setting CSS_REMOVED and putting the
base reference on each css. Remove cgroup_clear_css_refs() and the
failure path, and open-code the loops into cgroup_rmdir().
This patch keeps the two for_each_subsys() loops separate while open
coding them. They can be merged now but there are scheduled changes
which need them to be separate, so keep them separate to reduce the
amount of churn.
local_irq_save/restore() from cgroup_clear_css_refs() are replaced
with local_irq_disable/enable() for simplicity. This is safe as
cgroup_rmdir() is always called with IRQ enabled. Note that this IRQ
switching is necessary to ensure that css_tryget() isn't called from
IRQ context on the same CPU while lower context is between CSS
deactivation and setting CSS_REMOVED as css_tryget() would hang
forever in such cases waiting for CSS to be re-activated or
CSS_REMOVED set. This will go away soon.

cgroup core has a bug which violates a basic rule about event
notifications - when a new entity needs to be added, you add that to
the notification list first and then make the new entity conform to
the current state. If done in the reverse order, an event happening
inbetween will be lost.
cgroup_subsys->fork() is invoked way before the new task is added to
the css_set. Currently, cgroup_freezer is the only user of ->fork()
and uses it to make new tasks conform to the current state of the
freezer. If FROZEN state is requested while fork is in progress
between cgroup_fork_callbacks() and cgroup_post_fork(), the child
could escape freezing - the cgroup isn't frozen when ->fork() is
called and the freezer couldn't see the new task on the css_set.
This patch moves cgroup_subsys->fork() invocation to
cgroup_post_fork() after the new task is added to the css_set.
cgroup_fork_callbacks() is removed.
Because now a task may be migrated during cgroup_subsys->fork(),
freezer_fork() is updated so that it adheres to the usual RCU locking
and the rather pointless comment on why locking can be different there
is removed (if it doesn't make anything simpler, why even bother?).

Pull cgroup hierarchy update from Tejun Heo:
"Currently, different cgroup subsystems handle nested cgroups
completely differently. There's no consistency among subsystems and
the behaviors often are outright broken.
People at least seem to agree that the broken hierarhcy behaviors need
to be weeded out if any progress is gonna be made on this front and
that the fallouts from deprecating the broken behaviors should be
acceptable especially given that the current behaviors don't make much
sense when nested.
This patch makes cgroup emit warning messages if cgroups for
subsystems with broken hierarchy behavior are nested to prepare for
fixing them in the future. This was put in a separate branch because
more related changes were expected (didn't make it this round) and the
memory cgroup wanted to pull in this and make changes on top."
* 'for-3.7-hierarchy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them
Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors.
These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.
Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.
This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of
this patch is two-fold.
* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
doesn't surprise them.
* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.
For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder
later on.
v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.
v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by
Glauber.
v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
->create() can affect the result per Michal. Dropped unnecessary
memcg root handling per Michal.

WARNING: With this change it is impossible to load external built
controllers anymore.
In case where CONFIG_NETPRIO_CGROUP=m and CONFIG_NET_CLS_CGROUP=m is
set, corresponding subsys_id should also be a constant. Up to now,
net_prio_subsys_id and net_cls_subsys_id would be of the type int and
the value would be assigned during runtime.
By switching the macro definition IS_SUBSYS_ENABLED from IS_BUILTIN
to IS_ENABLED, all *_subsys_id will have constant value. That means we
need to remove all the code which assumes a value can be assigned to
net_prio_subsys_id and net_cls_subsys_id.
A close look is necessary on the RCU part which was introduces by
following patch:
commit f845172531
Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Mon May 24 09:12:34 2010
Committer: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Mon May 24 09:12:34 2010
cls_cgroup: Store classid in struct sock
Tis code was added to init_cgroup_cls()
/* We can't use rcu_assign_pointer because this is an int. */
smp_wmb();
net_cls_subsys_id = net_cls_subsys.subsys_id;
respectively to exit_cgroup_cls()
net_cls_subsys_id = -1;
synchronize_rcu();
and in module version of task_cls_classid()
rcu_read_lock();
id = rcu_dereference(net_cls_subsys_id);
if (id >= 0)
classid = container_of(task_subsys_state(p, id),
struct cgroup_cls_state, css)->classid;
rcu_read_unlock();
Without an explicit explaination why the RCU part is needed. (The
rcu_deference was fixed by exchanging it to rcu_derefence_index_check()
in a later commit, but that is a minor detail.)
So here is my pondering why it was introduced and why it safe to
remove it now. Note that this code was copied over to net_prio the
reasoning holds for that subsystem too.
The idea behind the RCU use for net_cls_subsys_id is to make sure we
get a valid pointer back from task_subsys_state(). task_subsys_state()
is just blindly accessing the subsys array and returning the
pointer. Obviously, passing in -1 as id into task_subsys_state()
returns an invalid value (out of lower bound).
So this code makes sure that only after module is loaded and the
subsystem registered, the id is assigned.
Before unregistering the module all old readers must have left the
critical section. This is done by assigning -1 to the id and issuing a
synchronized_rcu(). Any new readers wont call task_subsys_state()
anymore and therefore it is safe to unregister the subsystem.
The new code relies on the same trick, but it looks at the subsys
pointer return by task_subsys_state() (remember the id is constant
and therefore we allways have a valid index into the subsys
array).
No precautions need to be taken during module loading
module. Eventually, all CPUs will get a valid pointer back from
task_subsys_state() because rebind_subsystem() which is called after
the module init() function will assigned subsys[net_cls_subsys_id] the
newly loaded module subsystem pointer.
When the subsystem is about to be removed, rebind_subsystem() will
called before the module exit() function. In this case,
rebind_subsys() will assign subsys[net_cls_subsys_id] a NULL pointer
and then it calls synchronize_rcu(). All old readers have left by then
the critical section. Any new reader wont access the subsystem
anymore. At this point we are safe to unregister the subsystem. No
synchronize_rcu() call is needed.

Before we are able to define all subsystem ids at compile time we need
a more fine grained control what gets defined when we include
cgroup_subsys.h. For example we define the enums for the subsystems or
to declare for struct cgroup_subsys (builtin subsystem) by including
cgroup_subsys.h and defining SUBSYS accordingly.
Currently, the decision if a subsys is used is defined inside the
header by testing if CONFIG_*=y is true. By moving this test outside
of cgroup_subsys.h we are able to control it on the include level.
This is done by introducing IS_SUBSYS_ENABLED which then is defined
according the task, e.g. is CONFIG_*=y or CONFIG_*=m.

CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT is used as start index or stop index when
looping over the subsys array looking either at the builtin or the
module subsystems. Since all the builtin subsystems have an id which
is lower then CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT we know that any module will
have an id larger than CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT. In short the ids
are sorted.
We are about to change id assignment to happen only at compile time
later in this series. That means we can't rely on the above trick
since all ids will always be defined at compile time. Furthermore,
ordering the builtin subsystems and the module subsystems is not
really necessary.
So we need a different way to know which subsystem is a builtin or a
module one. We can use the subsys[]->module pointer for this. Any
place where we need to know if a subsys is module we just check for
the pointer. If it is NULL then the subsystem is a builtin one.
With this we are able to drop the CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT
enum. Though we need to introduce a temporary placeholder so that we
don't get a compilation error when only CONFIG_CGROUP is selected and
no single controller. An empty enum definition is not valid. Later in
this series we are able to remove the placeholder again.
And with this change we get a fix for this:
kernel/cgroup.c: In function ‘cgroup_load_subsys’:
kernel/cgroup.c:4326:38: warning: array subscript is below array bounds [-Warray-bounds]
when CONFIG_CGROUP=y and no built in controller was enabled.

When remounting cgroupfs with some subsystems added to it and some
removed, cgroup will remove all the files in root directory and then
re-popluate it.
What I'm doing here is, only remove files which belong to subsystems that
are to be unbinded, and only create files for newly-added subsystems.
The purpose is to have all other files untouched.
This is a preparation for cgroup xattr support.

- use 'subsys_mask' instead of {added,removed}_bits and made
cgroup_populate_dir() to match the parameters with cgroup_clear_directory()

48ddbe1946 "cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal
optional" allowed a css to linger after the associated cgroup is
removed. As a css holds a reference on the cgroup's dentry, it means
that cgroup dentries may linger for a while.
Destroying a superblock which has dentries with positive refcnts is a
critical bug and triggers BUG() in vfs code. As each cgroup dentry
holds an s_active reference, any lingering cgroup has both its dentry
and the superblock pinned and thus preventing premature release of
superblock.
Unfortunately, after 48ddbe1946, there's a small window while
releasing a cgroup which is directly under the root of the hierarchy.
When a cgroup directory is released, vfs layer first deletes the
corresponding dentry and then invokes dput() on the parent, which may
recurse further, so when a cgroup directly below root cgroup is
released, the cgroup is first destroyed - which releases the s_active
it was holding - and then the dentry for the root cgroup is dput().
This creates a window where the root dentry's refcnt isn't zero but
superblock's s_active is. If umount happens before or during this
window, vfs will see the root dentry with non-zero refcnt and trigger
BUG().
Before 48ddbe1946, this problem didn't exist because the last dentry
reference was guaranteed to be put synchronously from rmdir(2)
invocation which holds s_active around the whole process.
Fix it by holding an extra superblock->s_active reference across
dput() from css release, which is the dput() path added by 48ddbe1946
and the only one which doesn't hold an extra s_active ref across the
final cgroup dput().

__css_put is using atomic_dec on the ref count, and then
looking at the ref count to make decisions. This is prone
to races, as someone else may decrement ref count between
our decrement and our decision. Instead, we should base our
decisions on the value that we decremented the ref count to.
(This results in an actual race on Google's kernel which I
haven't been able to reproduce on the upstream kernel. Having
said that, it's still incorrect by inspection).

Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
"This fixes the possible premature superblock release on umount bug
mentioned during v3.5-rc1 pull request.
Originally, cgroup dentry destruction path assumed that cgroup dentry
didn't have any reference left after cgroup removal thus put super
during dentry removal. Now that there can be lingering dentry
references, this led to super being put with live dentries. This
patch fixes the problem by putting super ref on dentry release instead
of removal."

48ddbe1946 "cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal
optional" allowed a css to linger after the associated cgroup is
removed. As a css holds a reference on the cgroup's dentry, it means
that cgroup dentries may linger for a while.
cgroup_create() does grab an active reference on the superblock to
prevent it from going away while there are !root cgroups; however, the
reference is put from cgroup_diput() which is invoked on cgroup
removal, so cgroup dentries which are removed but persisting due to
lingering csses already have released their superblock active refs
allowing superblock to be killed while those dentries are around.
Given the right condition, this makes cgroup_kill_sb() call
kill_litter_super() with dentries with non-zero d_count leading to
BUG() in shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree().
Fix it by adding cgroup_dops->d_release() operation and moving
deactivate_super() to it. cgroup_diput() now marks dentry->d_fsdata
with itself if superblock should be deactivated and cgroup_d_release()
deactivates the superblock on dentry release.

Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
"This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
implementation.
Highlights:
- Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.
- Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.
- All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add
an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
uids remains the same.
- With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
better than it is today.
- For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
operationally with the user namespace enabled.
- The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
164ns per stat operation).
- (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
entertaining failures in userspace.
- If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
handle the case where setuid fails.
- If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS
experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
can't map.
- Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.
My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
Currently, cgroup removal tries to drain all css references. If there
are active css references, the removal logic waits and retries
->pre_detroy() until either all refs drop to zero or removal is
cancelled.
This semantics is unusual and adds non-trivial complexity to cgroup
core and IMHO is fundamentally misguided in that it couples internal
implementation details (references to internal data structure) with
externally visible operation (rmdir). To userland, this is a behavior
peculiarity which is unnecessary and difficult to expect (css refs is
otherwise invisible from userland), and, to policy implementations,
this is an unnecessary restriction (e.g. blkcg wants to hold css refs
for caching purposes but can't as that becomes visible as rmdir hang).
Unfortunately, memcg currently depends on ->pre_destroy() retrials and
cgroup removal vetoing and can't be immmediately switched to the new
behavior. This patch introduces the new behavior of not waiting for
css refs to drain and maintains the old behavior for subsystems which
have __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs set.
Once, memcg is updated, we can drop the code paths for the old
behavior as proposed in the following patch. Note that the following
patch is incorrect in that dput work item is in cgroup and may lose
some of dputs when multiples css's are released back-to-back, and
__css_put() triggers check_for_release() when refcnt reaches 0 instead
of 1; however, it shows what part can be removed.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/22559/focus=75251
Note that, in not-too-distant future, cgroup core will start emitting
warning messages for subsys which require the old behavior, so please
get moving.

When a cgroup is about to be removed, cgroup_clear_css_refs() is
called to check and ensure that there are no active css references.
This is currently achieved by dropping the refcnt to zero iff it has
only the base ref. If all css refs could be dropped to zero, ref
clearing is successful and CSS_REMOVED is set on all css. If not, the
base ref is restored. While css ref is zero w/o CSS_REMOVED set, any
css_tryget() attempt on it busy loops so that they are atomic
w.r.t. the whole css ref clearing.
This does work but dropping and re-instating the base ref is somewhat
hairy and makes it difficult to add more logic to the put path as
there are two of them - the regular css_put() and the reversible base
ref clearing.
This patch updates css ref clearing such that blocking new
css_tryget() and putting the base ref are separate operations.
CSS_DEACT_BIAS, defined as INT_MIN, is added to css->refcnt and
css_tryget() busy loops while refcnt is negative. After all css refs
are deactivated, if they were all one, ref clearing succeeded and
CSS_REMOVED is set and the base ref is put using the regular
css_put(); otherwise, CSS_DEACT_BIAS is subtracted from the refcnts
and the original postive values are restored.
css_refcnt() accessor which always returns the unbiased positive
reference counts is added and used to simplify refcnt usages. While
at it, relocate and reformat comments in cgroup_has_css_refs().
This separates css->refcnt deactivation and putting the base ref,
which enables the next patch to make ref clearing optional.

This patch adds cfent (cgroup file entry) which is the association
between a cgroup and a file. This is in-cgroup representation of
files under a cgroup directory. This simplifies walking walking
cgroup files and thus cgroup_clear_directory(), which is now
implemented in two parts - cgroup_rm_file() and a loop around it.
cgroup_rm_file() will be used to implement cftype removal and cfent is
scheduled to serve cgroup specific per-file data (e.g. for sysfs-like
"sever" semantics).
v2: - cfe was freed from cgroup_rm_file() which led to use-after-free
if the file had openers at the time of removal. Moved to
cgroup_diput().
- cgroup_clear_directory() triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() if d_subdirs
wasn't empty after removing all files. This triggered
spuriously if some files were open during directory clearing.
Removed.
v3: - In cgroup_diput(), WARN_ONCE(!list_empty(&cfe->node)) could be
spuriously triggered for root cgroups because they don't go
through cgroup_clear_directory() on unmount. Don't trigger WARN
for root cgroups.

Currently, cgroup directories are populated by subsys->populate()
callback explicitly creating files on each cgroup creation. This
level of flexibility isn't needed or desirable. It provides largely
unused flexibility which call for abuses while severely limiting what
the core layer can do through the lack of structure and conventions.
Per each cgroup file type, the only distinction that cgroup users is
making is whether a cgroup is root or not, which can easily be
expressed with flags.
This patch introduces cgroup_add_cftypes(). These deal with cftypes
instead of individual files - controllers indicate that certain types
of files exist for certain subsystem. Newly added CFTYPE_*_ON_ROOT
flags indicate whether a cftype should be excluded or created only on
the root cgroup.
cgroup_add_cftypes() can be called any time whether the target
subsystem is currently attached or not. cgroup core will create files
on the existing cgroups as necessary.
Also, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is added to ease registration of the
base files for the subsystem. If non-NULL on subsys init, the cftypes
pointed to by ->base_cftypes are automatically registered on subsys
init / load.
Further patches will convert the existing users and remove the file
based interface. Note that this interface allows dynamic addition of
files to an active controller. This will be used for sub-controller
modularity and unified hierarchy in the longer term.
This patch implements the new mechanism but doesn't apply it to any
user.
v2: replaced DECLARE_CGROUP_CFTYPES[_COND]() with
cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes, which works better for cgroup_subsys
which is loaded as module.

61d1d219c4 "cgroup: remove extra calls to find_existing_css_set" made
cgroup_task_migrate() return void. An unfortunate side effect was
that cgroup_attach_task() was depending on that function's return
value to clear its @retval on the success path. On cgroup mounts
without any subsystem with ->can_attach() callback,
cgroup_attach_task() ended up returning @retval without initializing
it on success.
For some reason, gcc failed to warn about it and it didn't cause
cgroup_attach_task() to return non-zero value in many cases, probably
due to difference in register allocation. When the problem
materializes, systemd fails to populate /systemd cgroup mount and
fails to boot.
Fix it by initializing @retval to zero on declaration.

Walking through the tasklist in cgroup_enable_task_cg_list() inside
an RCU read side critical section is not enough because:
- RCU is not (yet) safe against while_each_thread()
- If we use only RCU, a forking task that has passed cgroup_post_fork()
without seeing use_task_css_set_links == 1 is not guaranteed to have
its child immediately visible in the tasklist if we walk through it
remotely with RCU. In this case it will be missing in its css_set's
task list.
Thus we need to traverse the list (unfortunately) under the
tasklist_lock. It makes us safe against while_each_thread() and also
make sure we see all forked task that have been added to the tasklist.
As a secondary effect, reading and writing use_task_css_set_links are
now well ordered against tasklist traversing and modification. The new
layout is:
CPU 0 CPU 1
use_task_css_set_links = 1 write_lock(tasklist_lock)
read_lock(tasklist_lock) add task to tasklist
do_each_thread() { write_unlock(tasklist_lock)
add thread to css set links if (use_task_css_set_links)
} while_each_thread() add thread to css set links
read_unlock(tasklist_lock)
If CPU 0 traverse the list after the task has been added to the tasklist
then it is correctly added to the css set links. OTOH if CPU 0 traverse
the tasklist before the new task had the opportunity to be added to the
tasklist because it was too early in the fork process, then CPU 1
catches up and add the task to the css set links after it added the task
to the tasklist. The right value of use_task_css_set_links is guaranteed
to be visible from CPU 1 due to the LOCK/UNLOCK implicit barrier properties:
the read_unlock on CPU 0 makes the write on use_task_css_set_links happening
and the write_lock on CPU 1 make the read of use_task_css_set_links that comes
afterward to return the correct value.

The argument is not used at all, and it's not necessary, because
a specific callback handler of course knows which subsys it
belongs to.
Now only ->pupulate() takes this argument, because the handlers of
this callback always call cgroup_add_file()/cgroup_add_files().
So we reduce a few lines of code, though the shrinking of object size
is minimal.

In cgroup_attach_proc, we indirectly call find_existing_css_set 3
times. It is an expensive call so we want to call it a minimum
of times. This patch only calls it once and stores the result so
that it can be used later on when we call cgroup_task_migrate.
This required modifying cgroup_task_migrate to take the new css_set
(which we obtained from find_css_set) as a parameter. The nice side
effect of this is that cgroup_task_migrate is now identical for
cgroup_attach_task and cgroup_attach_proc. It also now returns a
void since it can never fail.

To keep the complexity of the double-check locking in one place, move
the thread_group_leader check up into attach_task_by_pid(). This
allows us to use a goto instead of returning -EAGAIN.
While at it, convert a couple of returns to gotos and use rcu for the
!pid case also in order to simplify the logic.

Fix up conflict in kernel/cgroup.c due to commit e0197aae59e5: "cgroups:
fix a css_set not found bug in cgroup_attach_proc" that already
mentioned that the bug is fixed (differently) in Tejun's cgroup
patchset. This one, in other words.
If we mount a hierarchy with a specified name, the name is unique,
and we can use it to mount the hierarchy without specifying its
set of subsystem names. This feature is documented is
Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt section 2.3
Here's an example:
# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,name=myhier xxx /cgroup1
# mount -t cgroup -o name=myhier xxx /cgroup2
But it was broken by commit 32a8cf235e
(cgroup: make the mount options parsing more accurate)
This fixes the regression.

cgroup_post_fork() is protected between threadgroup_change_begin()
and threadgroup_change_end() against concurrent changes of the
child's css_set in cgroup_task_migrate(). Also the child can't
exit and call cgroup_exit() at this stage, this means it's css_set
can't be changed with init_css_set concurrently.
For these reasons, we don't need to hold task_lock() on the child
because it's css_set can only remain stable in this place.
Let's remove the lock there.

We don't need to hold the parent task_lock() on the
parent in cgroup_fork() because we are already synchronized
against the two places that may change the parent css_set
concurrently:
- cgroup_exit(), but the parent obviously can't exit concurrently
- cgroup migration: we are synchronized against threadgroup_lock()
So we can safely remove the task_lock() there.

There is a BUG when migrating a PF_EXITING proc. Since css_set_prefetch()
is not called for the PF_EXITING case, find_existing_css_set() will return
NULL inside cgroup_task_migrate() causing a BUG.
This bug is easy to reproduce. Create a zombie and echo its pid to
cgroup.procs.
$ cat zombie.c
\#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
if (fork())
pause();
return 0;
}

Currently, there's no way to pass multiple tasks to cgroup_subsys
methods necessitating the need for separate per-process and per-task
methods. This patch introduces cgroup_taskset which can be used to
pass multiple tasks and their associated cgroups to cgroup_subsys
methods.
Three methods - can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() - are
converted to use cgroup_taskset. This unifies passed parameters so
that all methods have access to all information. Conversions in this
patchset are identical and don't introduce any behavior change.

cgroup_attach_proc() behaves differently from cgroup_attach_task() in
the following aspects.
* All hooks are invoked even if no task is actually being moved.
* ->can_attach_task() is called for all tasks in the group whether the
new cgrp is different from the current cgrp or not; however,
->attach_task() is skipped if new equals new. This makes the calls
asymmetric.
This patch improves old cgroup handling in cgroup_attach_proc() by
looking up the current cgroup at the head, recording it in the flex
array along with the task itself, and using it to remove the above two
differences. This will also ease further changes.

Update cgroup to take advantage of the fack that threadgroup_lock()
guarantees stable threadgroup.
* Lock threadgroup even if the target is a single task. This
guarantees that when the target tasks stay stable during migration
regardless of the target type.
* Remove PF_EXITING early exit optimization from attach_task_by_pid()
and check it in cgroup_task_migrate() instead. The optimization was
for rather cold path to begin with and PF_EXITING state can be
trusted throughout migration by checking it after locking
threadgroup.
* Don't add PF_EXITING tasks to target task array in
cgroup_attach_proc(). This ensures that task migration is performed
only for live tasks.
* Remove -ESRCH failure path from cgroup_task_migrate(). With the
above changes, it's guaranteed to be called only for live tasks.
After the changes, only live tasks are migrated and they're guaranteed
to stay alive until migration is complete. This removes problems
caused by exec and exit racing against cgroup migration including
symmetry among cgroup attach methods and different cgroup methods
racing each other.
v2: Oleg pointed out that one more PF_EXITING check can be removed

cgroup wants to make threadgroup stable while modifying cgroup
hierarchies which will introduce locking dependency on
cred_guard_mutex from cgroup_mutex. This unfortunately completes
circular dependency.
A. cgroup_mutex -> cred_guard_mutex -> s_type->i_mutex_key -> namespace_sem
B. namespace_sem -> cgroup_mutex
B is from cgroup_show_options() and this patch breaks it by
introducing another mutex cgroup_root_mutex which nests inside
cgroup_mutex and protects cgroupfs_root.

While back-porting Johannes Weiner's patch "mm: memcg-aware global
reclaim" for an internal effort, we noticed a significant performance
regression during page-reclaim heavy workloads due to high contention of
the ss->id_lock. This lock protects idr map, and serializes calls to
idr_get_next() in css_get_next() (which is used during the memcg hierarchy
walk).
Since idr_get_next() is just doing a look up, we need only serialize it
with respect to idr_remove()/idr_get_new(). By making the ss->id_lock a
rwlock, contention is greatly reduced and performance improves.
Tested: cat a 256m file from a ramdisk in a 128m container 50 times on
each core (one file + container per core) in parallel on a NUMA machine.
Result is the time for the test to complete in 1 of the containers.
Both kernels included Johannes' memcg-aware global reclaim patches.

If a task has exited to the point it has called cgroup_exit() already,
then we can't migrate it to another cgroup anymore.
This can happen when we are attaching a task to a new cgroup between the
call to ->can_attach_task() on subsystems and the migration that is
eventually tried in cgroup_task_migrate().
In this case cgroup_task_migrate() returns -ESRCH and we don't want to
attach the task to the subsystems because the attachment to the new cgroup
itself failed.
Fix this by only calling ->attach_task() on the subsystems if the cgroup
migration succeeded.

We recently found that in some configurations SELinux was blocking the ability
for cgroupfs to be mounted. The reason for this is because cgroupfs creates
files and directories during the get_sb() call and also uses lookup_one_len()
during that same get_sb() call. This is a problem since the security
subsystem cannot initialize the superblock and the inodes in that filesystem
until after the get_sb() call returns. Thus we leave the inodes in
an unitialized state during get_sb(). For the vast majority of filesystems
this is not an issue, but since cgroupfs uses lookup_on_len() it does
search permission checks on the directories in the path it walks. Since the
inode security state is not set up SELinux does these checks as if the inodes
were 'unlabeled.'
Many 'normal' userspace process do not have permission to interact with
unlabeled inodes. The solution presented here is to do the permission checks
of path walk and inode creation as the kernel rather than as the task that
called mount. Since the kernel has permission to read/write/create
unlabeled inodes the get_sb() call will complete successfully and the SELinux
code will be able to initialize the superblock and those inodes created during
the get_sb() call.
This appears to be the same solution used by other filesystems such as devtmpfs
to solve the same issue and should thus have no negative impact on other LSMs
which currently work.

The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:
* cgroup creation is out-of-control
* cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
* it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
* we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup
The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
the 'tasks' file.
This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html
The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.
This is a userspace-visible change. Commit 45531757b4 ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal. Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.

Convert cgroup_attach_proc to use flex_array.
The cgroup_attach_proc implementation requires a pre-allocated array to
store task pointers to atomically move a thread-group, but asking for a
monolithic array with kmalloc() may be unreliable for very large groups.
Using flex_array provides the same functionality with less risk of
failure.

Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts
Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.
Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.
This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

list_del() leaves poison in the prev and next pointers. The next
list_empty() will compare those poisons, and say the list isn't empty.
Any list operations that assume the node is on a list because of such a
check will be fooled into dereferencing poison. One needs to INIT the
node after the del, and fortunately there's already a wrapper for that -
list_del_init().
Some of the dels are followed by deallocations, so can be ignored, and one
can be merged with an add to make a move. Apart from that, I erred on the
side of caution in making nodes list_empty()-queriable.

This kernel patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on
container groups (cgroups). This is for use in per-cpu mode only.
The cgroup to monitor is passed as a file descriptor in the pid
argument to the syscall. The file descriptor must be opened to
the cgroup name in the cgroup filesystem. For instance, if the
cgroup name is foo and cgroupfs is mounted in /cgroup, then the
file descriptor is opened to /cgroup/foo. Cgroup mode is
activated by passing PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP in the flags argument
to the syscall.
For instance to measure in cgroup foo on CPU1 assuming
cgroupfs is mounted under /cgroup:
struct perf_event_attr attr;
int cgroup_fd, fd;
cgroup_fd = open("/cgroup/foo", O_RDONLY);
fd = perf_event_open(&attr, cgroup_fd, 1, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP);
close(cgroup_fd);

Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.
Patched with:
git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already
held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point).
However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any
caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy
dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time.

Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't
using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex).
Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is
provided only with ->d_parent->d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking.
But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd
have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.

Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching

anyway.

much simpler.

Switching d_op on a live dentry is racy in general, so avoid it. In this case
it is a negative dentry, which is safer, but there are still concurrent ops
which may be called on d_op in that case (eg. d_revalidate). So in general
a filesystem may not do this. Fix cgroupfs so as not to do this.

Current behavior:
=================
(1) When we mount a cgroup, we can specify the 'all' option which
means to enable all the cgroup subsystems. This is the default option
when no option is specified.
(2) If we want to mount a cgroup with a subset of the supported cgroup
subsystems, we have to specify a subsystems name list for the mount
option.
(3) If we specify another option like 'noprefix' or 'release_agent',
the actual code wants the 'all' or a subsystem name option specified
also. Not critical but a bit not friendly as we should assume (1) in
this case.
(4) Logically, the 'all' option is mutually exclusive with a subsystem
name, but this is not detected.
In other words:
succeed : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup
=> is it 'all' or 'freezer' ?
fails : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup
=> succeed if we do '-o noprefix,all'
The following patches consolidate a bit the mount options check.
New behavior:
=============
(1) untouched
(2) untouched
(3) the 'all' option will be by default when specifying other than
a subsystem name option
(4) raises an error
In other words:
fails : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup
succeed : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup
For the sake of lisibility, the if ... then ... else ... if ...
indentation when parsing the options has been changed to:

The ns_cgroup is a control group interacting with the namespaces. When a
new namespace is created, a corresponding cgroup is automatically created
too. The cgroup name is the pid of the process who did 'unshare' or the
child of 'clone'.
This cgroup is tied with the namespace because it prevents a process to
escape the control group and use the post_clone callback, so the child
cgroup inherits the values of the parent cgroup.
Unfortunately, the more we use this cgroup and the more we are facing
problems with it:
(1) when a process unshares, the cgroup name may conflict with a
previous cgroup with the same pid, so unshare or clone return -EEXIST
(2) the cgroup creation is out of control because there may have an
application creating several namespaces where the system will
automatically create several cgroups in his back and let them on the
cgroupfs (eg. a vrf based on the network namespace).
(3) the mix of (1) and (2) force an administrator to regularly check
and clean these cgroups.
This patchset removes the ns_cgroup by adding a new flag to the cgroup and
the cgroupfs mount option. It enables the copy of the parent cgroup when
a child cgroup is created. We can then safely remove the ns_cgroup as
this flag brings a compatibility. We have now to manually create and add
the task to a cgroup, which is consistent with the cgroup framework.
This patch:
Sent as an answer to a previous thread around the ns_cgroup.
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018627.html
It adds a control file 'clone_children' for a cgroup. This control file
is a boolean specifying if the child cgroup should be a clone of the
parent cgroup or not. The default value is 'false'.
This flag makes the child cgroup to call the post_clone callback of all
the subsystem, if it is available.
At present, the cpuset is the only one which had implemented the
post_clone callback.
The option can be set at mount time by specifying the 'clone_children'
mount option.
