Before moving tasks out of empty cpusets, update_tasks_nodemask()
is called, which calls do_migrate_pages(xx, from, to). Then those
tasks are moved to an ancestor, and do_migrate_pages() is called
again.
The first time: from = node_to_be_offlined, to = empty.
The second time: from = empty, to = ancestor's nodemask.
so looks like no pages will be migrated.
Fix this by:
- Don't call update_tasks_nodemask() on empty cpusets.
- Pass cs->old_mems_allowed to do_migrate_pages().

Currently some cpuset behaviors are not friendly when cpuset is co-mounted
with other cgroup controllers.
Now with this patchset if cpuset is mounted with sane_behavior option,
it behaves differently:
- Tasks will be kept in empty cpusets when hotplug happens and take
masks of ancestors with non-empty cpus/mems, instead of being moved to
an ancestor.
- A task can be moved into an empty cpuset, and again it takes masks of
ancestors, so the user can drop a task into a newly created cgroup without
having to do anything for it.
As tasks can reside in empy cpusets, here're some rules:
- They can be moved to another cpuset, regardless it's empty or not.
- Though it takes masks from ancestors, it takes other configs from the
empty cpuset.
- If the ancestors' masks are changed, those tasks will also be updated
to take new masks.

we also update tasks in child cpusets which are empty.

IMO this is more robust. We won't see empty masks in cpuset_attach().
Also it's a preparation for removing propagation work. Without asynchronous

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Fixes and a lot of cleanups. Locking cleanup is finally complete.
cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which
used to cause nasty deadlock issues. Li fixed and cleaned up quite a
bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path().
- device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu.
- perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy.
- A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added. As indicated
by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this
point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately,
cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies
to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag
is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to
implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag
won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled
implicitly along with unified hierarchy.
The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core
and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm),
which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is
partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy
support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without
introducing a full separate set of control knobs.
This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but
at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping
the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which
is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely
to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think
it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that
it's supportable in the long term.
Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but
shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think
it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able
to drop it in a decade.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on workqueue side this time. The changes achieve
the followings.
- WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are
updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools.
This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually
neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones.
- The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are
used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.
Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU
affinity. It may be expanded to include cgroup association in
future. The attributes can be specified either by calling
apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if
the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs.
The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and
shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes. When
attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the
worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work
items which are already executing in its previous worker pools
alone.
This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which
want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues. The writeback pool
is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others
are likely to follow including btrfs io workers.
- WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used
to make it NUMA-aware. Because there's no association between work
item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before
this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node
bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks
to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly.
After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple
NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in
the same node. This is turned on by default but can be disabled
system-wide or for individual workqueues.
Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across
different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it
per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could
be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have
idle cycles.
While the new features required a lot of changes including
restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much.
The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the
new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with
different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue,
execution or flush paths.
As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel
relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with
basic correctness of work item execution and handling. If something
is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools
with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being
changed or during CPU hotplug.
While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many
more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique
combinations of attributes. Assuming everything else is the same,
NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online
CPUs.
There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the
workqueue tree.
- block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker
pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control
exposed. This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers
NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs.
- The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association
between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as
they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from
backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted. This is
resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is
printed when the task is dumped. As this change involves unifying
implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's
being routed through Andrew's -mm tree."

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.

Supposedly for historical reasons, cpuset depends on cgroup core for
locking. It depends on cgroup_mutex in cgroup callbacks and grabs
cgroup_mutex from other places where it wants to be synchronized.
This is majorly messy and highly prone to introducing circular locking
dependency especially because cgroup_mutex is supposed to be one of
the outermost locks.
As previous patches already plugged possible races which may happen by
decoupling from cgroup_mutex, replacing cgroup_mutex with cpuset
specific cpuset_mutex is mostly straight-forward. Introduce
cpuset_mutex, replace all occurrences of cgroup_mutex with it, and add
cpuset_mutex locking to places which inherited cgroup_mutex from
cgroup core.
The only complication is from cpuset wanting to initiate task
migration when a cpuset loses all cpus or memory nodes. Task
migration may go through full cgroup and all subsystem locking and
should be initiated without holding any cpuset specific lock; however,
a previous patch already made hotplug handled asynchronously and
moving the task migration part outside other locks is easy.

to the nearest ancestor which can execute and the end result would be
as if hotplug handling happened after the tasks finished attaching.
cpuset_write_resmask() now also flushes cpuset_propagate_hotplug_wq to

cpuset_hotplug_workfn() has been invoking cpuset_propagate_hotplug()
directly to propagate hotplug updates to !root cpusets; however, this
has the following problems.
* cpuset locking is scheduled to be decoupled from cgroup_mutex,
cgroup_mutex will be unexported, and cgroup_attach_task() will do
cgroup locking internally, so propagation can't synchronously move
tasks to a parent cgroup while walking the hierarchy.
* We can't use cgroup generic tree iterator because propagation to
each cpuset may sleep. With propagation done asynchronously, we can
lose the rather ugly cpuset specific iteration.
Convert cpuset_propagate_hotplug() to
cpuset_propagate_hotplug_workfn() and execute it from newly added
cpuset->hotplug_work. The work items are run on an ordered workqueue,
so the propagation order is preserved. cpuset_hotplug_workfn()
schedules all propagations while holding cgroup_mutex and waits for
completion without cgroup_mutex. Each in-flight propagation holds a
reference to the cpuset->css.

In general, we want to make cgroup_mutex one of the outermost locks
and be able to use get_online_cpus() and friends from cgroup methods.
With cpuset hotplug made async, get_online_cpus() can now be nested
inside cgroup_mutex.
Currently, cpuset avoids nesting get_online_cpus() inside cgroup_mutex
by bouncing sched_domain rebuilding to a work item. As such nesting
is allowed now, remove the workqueue bouncing code and always rebuild
sched_domains synchronously. This also nests sched_domains_mutex
inside cgroup_mutex, which is intended and should be okay.

CPU / memory hotplug path currently grabs cgroup_mutex from hotplug
event notifications. We want to separate cpuset locking from cgroup
core and make cgroup_mutex outer to hotplug synchronization so that,
among other things, mechanisms which depend on get_online_cpus() can
be used from cgroup callbacks. In general, we want to keep
cgroup_mutex the outermost lock to minimize locking interactions among
different controllers.
Convert cpuset_handle_hotplug() to cpuset_hotplug_workfn() and
schedule it from the hotplug notifications. As the function can
already handle multiple mixed events without any input, converting it
to a work function is mostly trivial; however, one complication is
that cpuset_update_active_cpus() needs to update sched domains
synchronously to reflect an offlined cpu to avoid confusing the
scheduler. This is worked around by falling back to the the default
single sched domain synchronously before scheduling the actual hotplug
work. This makes sched domain rebuilt twice per CPU hotplug event but
the operation isn't that heavy and a lot of the second operation would
be noop for systems w/ single sched domain, which is the common case.
This decouples cpuset hotplug handling from the notification callbacks
and there can be an arbitrary delay between the actual event and
updates to cpusets. Scheduler and mm can handle it fine but moving
tasks out of an empty cpuset may race against writes to the cpuset
restoring execution resources which can lead to confusing behavior.
Flush hotplug work item from cpuset_write_resmask() to avoid such
confusions.

domain added. This fixes various issues caused by confused
scheduler putting tasks on a dead CPU, including the one reported

doesn't have any task. This is for brevity and not expected to have
any measureable effect.
* cpu_active_mask and N_HIGH_MEMORY are read exactly once per
cpuset_handle_hotplug() invocation, all cpusets share the same view
of what resources are available, and cpuset_handle_hotplug() can
handle multiple resources going up and down. These properties will
allow async operation.
The reorganization, while drastic, is equivalent and shouldn't cause
any behavior difference. This will enable making hotplug handling
async and remove get_online_cpus() -> cgroup_mutex nesting.

cpuset_can_attach() prepare global variables cpus_attach and
cpuset_attach_nodemask_{to|from} which are used by cpuset_attach().
There is no reason to prepare in cpuset_can_attach(). The same
information can be accessed from cpuset_attach().
Move the prepartion logic from cpuset_can_attach() to cpuset_attach()
and make the global variables static ones inside cpuset_attach().
With this change, there's no reason to keep
cpuset_attach_nodemask_{from|to} global. Move them inside
cpuset_attach(). Unfortunately, we need to keep cpus_attach global as
it can't be allocated from cpuset_attach().
v2: cpus_attach not converted to cpumask_t as per Li Zefan and Rusty
Russell.

Instead of iterating cgroup->children directly, introduce and use
cpuset_for_each_child() which wraps cgroup_for_each_child() and
performs online check. As it uses the generic iterator, it requires
RCU read locking too.
As cpuset is currently protected by cgroup_mutex, non-online cpusets
aren't visible to all the iterations and this patch currently doesn't
make any functional difference. This will be used to de-couple cpuset
locking from cgroup core.

Add CS_ONLINE which is set from css_online() and cleared from
css_offline(). This will enable using generic cgroup iterator while
allowing decoupling cpuset from cgroup internal locking.

Add cpuset_css_on/offline() and rearrange css init/exit such that,
* Allocation and clearing to the default values happen in css_alloc().
Allocation now uses kzalloc().
* Config inheritance and registration happen in css_online().
* css_offline() undoes what css_online() did.
* css_free() frees.
This doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes. This will help
cleaning up locking.

The function isn't that hot, the overhead of missing the fast exit is
low, the test itself depends heavily on cgroup internals, and it's
gonna be a hindrance when trying to decouple cpuset locking from
cgroup core. Remove the fast exit path.

N_HIGH_MEMORY stands for the nodes that has normal or high memory.
N_MEMORY stands for the nodes that has any memory.
The code here need to handle with the nodes which have memory, we should
use N_MEMORY instead.

Currently CGRP_CPUSET_CLONE_CHILDREN triggers ->post_clone(). Now
that clone_children is cpuset specific, there's no reason to have this
rather odd option activation mechanism in cgroup core. cpuset can
check the flag from its ->css_allocate() and take the necessary
action.
Move cpuset_post_clone() logic to the end of cpuset_css_alloc() and
remove cgroup_subsys->post_clone().
Loosely based on Glauber's "generalize post_clone into post_create"
patch.

cpuset_track_online_cpus() is no longer present. So remove the
outdated comment and replace it with reference to cpuset_update_active_cpus()
which is its equivalent.
Also, we don't lack memory hot-unplug anymore. And David Rientjes pointed
out how it is dealt with. So update that comment as well.

Separate out the cpuset related handling for CPU/Memory online/offline.
This also helps us exploit the most obvious and basic level of optimization
that any notification mechanism (CPU/Mem online/offline) has to offer us:
"We *know* why we have been invoked. So stop pretending that we are lost,
and do only the necessary amount of processing!".
And while at it, rename scan_for_empty_cpusets() to
scan_cpusets_upon_hotplug(), which is more appropriate considering how
it is restructured.

At present, the functions that deal with cpusets during CPU/Mem hotplug
are quite messy, since a lot of the functionality is mixed up without clear
separation. And this takes a toll on optimization as well. For example,
the function cpuset_update_active_cpus() is called on both CPU offline and CPU
online events; and it invokes scan_for_empty_cpusets(), which makes sense
only for CPU offline events. And hence, the current code ends up unnecessarily
traversing the cpuset tree during CPU online also.
As a first step towards cleaning up those functions, encapsulate the cpuset
tree traversal in a helper function, so as to facilitate upcoming changes.
