When we update a cpuset's mems_allowed and thus update tasks'
mems_allowed, it's required to pass the old mems_allowed and new
mems_allowed to cpuset_migrate_mm().
Currently we save old mems_allowed in a temp local variable before
changing cpuset->mems_allowed. This patch changes it by saving
old mems_allowed in cpuset->old_mems_allowed.
This currently won't change any behavior, but it will later allow
us to keep tasks in empty cpusets.

Instead of triggering propagation work in cpuset_attach(), we make
hotplug propagation work wait until there's no task attaching in
progress.
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
propagation we can't call move_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() in cpuset_attach(),
because otherwise we'll deadlock on cgroup_mutex.

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."

Both cgroup_mutex and cgroup_attach_task() are scheduled to be

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.
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is no longer affected by the flag.

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.
cpuset_propagate_hotplug_workfn() now invokes
remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() without holding any lock.

This patchset makes ->attach() schedule hotplug propagation if the
cpuset is empty after attaching is complete. This will move the tasks
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.
v2: Synchronous sched domain rebuilding using the fallback sched
domain added. This fixes various issues caused by confused
scheduler putting tasks on a dead CPU, including the one reported

* Both CPU and memory hotplug handlings are collected into a single

but compares the current setttings of top_cpuset against what's
actually available to determine what happened. This function
directly updates top_cpuset. If there are CPUs or memory nodes
which are taken down, cpuset_propagate_hotplug() in invoked on all
!root cpusets.
* cpuset_propagate_hotplug() is responsible for updating the specified
cpuset so that it doesn't include any resource which isn't available
to top_cpuset. If no CPU or memory is left after update, all tasks
are moved to the nearest ancestor with both resources.
* update_tasks_cpumask() and update_tasks_nodemask() are now always
called after cpus or mems masks are updated even if the cpuset
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.

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.

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.

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.

In the event of CPU hotplug, the kernel modifies the cpusets' cpus_allowed
masks as and when necessary to ensure that the tasks belonging to the cpusets
have some place (online CPUs) to run on. And regular CPU hotplug is
destructive in the sense that the kernel doesn't remember the original cpuset
configurations set by the user, across hotplug operations.
However, suspend/resume (which uses CPU hotplug) is a special case in which
the kernel has the responsibility to restore the system (during resume), to
exactly the same state it was in before suspend.
In order to achieve that, do the following:
1. Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume. At all.
In particular, don't move the tasks from one cpuset to another, and
don't modify any cpuset's cpus_allowed mask. So, simply ignore cpusets
during the CPU hotplug operations that are carried out in the
suspend/resume path.
2. However, cpusets and sched domains are related. We just want to avoid
altering cpusets alone. So, to keep the sched domains updated, build
a single sched domain (containing all active cpus) during each of the
CPU hotplug operations carried out in s/r path, effectively ignoring
the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks.
(Since userspace is frozen while doing all this, it will go unnoticed.)
3. During the last CPU online operation during resume, build the sched
domains by looking up the (unaltered) cpusets' cpus_allowed masks.
That will bring back the system to the same original state as it was in
before suspend.
Ultimately, this will not only solve the cpuset problem related to suspend
resume (ie., restores the cpusets to exactly what it was before suspend, by
not touching it at all) but also speeds up suspend/resume because we avoid
running cpuset update code for every CPU being offlined/onlined.

Commit 5fbd036b55 ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness"), which was
supposed to finally sort the cpu_active mess, instead uncovered more.
Since CPU_STARTING is ran before setting the cpu online, there's a
(small) window where the cpu has active,!online.
If during this time there's a wakeup of a task that used to reside on
that cpu select_task_rq() will use select_fallback_rq() to compute an
alternative cpu to run on since we find !online.
select_fallback_rq() however will compute the new cpu against
cpu_active, this means that it can return the same cpu it started out
with, the !online one, since that cpu is in fact marked active.
This results in us trying to scheduling a task on an offline cpu and
triggering a WARN in the IPI code.
The solution proposed by Chuansheng Liu of setting cpu_active in
set_cpu_online() is buggy, firstly not all archs actually use
set_cpu_online(), secondly, not all archs call set_cpu_online() with
IRQs disabled, this means we would introduce either the same race or
the race from fd8a7de17 ("x86: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on
wrong CPU") -- albeit much narrower.
[ By setting online first and active later we have a window of
online,!active, fresh and bound kthreads have task_cpu() of 0 and
since cpu0 isn't in tsk_cpus_allowed() we end up in
select_fallback_rq() which excludes !active, resulting in a reset
of ->cpus_allowed and the thread running all over the place. ]
The solution is to re-work select_fallback_rq() to require active
_and_ online. This makes the active,!online case work as expected,
OTOH archs running CPU_STARTING after setting online are now
vulnerable to the issue from fd8a7de17 -- these are alpha and
blackfin.

Commit c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.
[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while
investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.
For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.
This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.
While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.
In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%. The
actual results were

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected). The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.
For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.
To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.
Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

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.

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.
Kernels where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG may temporarily see an empty
nodemask in a tsk's mempolicy if its previous nodemask is remapped onto a
new set of allowed cpuset nodes where the two nodemasks, as a result of
the remap, are now disjoint.
c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing
cpuset's mems") adds get_mems_allowed() to prevent the set of allowed
nodes from changing for a thread. This causes any update to a set of
allowed nodes to stall until put_mems_allowed() is called.
This stall is unncessary, however, if at least one node remains unchanged
in the update to the set of allowed nodes. This was addressed by
89e8a244b9 ("cpusets: avoid looping when storing to mems_allowed if one
node remains set"), but it's still possible that an empty nodemask may be
read from a mempolicy because the old nodemask may be remapped to the new
nodemask during rebind. To prevent this, only avoid the stall if there is
no mempolicy for the thread being changed.
This is a temporary solution until all reads from mempolicy nodemasks can
be guaranteed to not be empty without the get_mems_allowed()
synchronization.
Also moves the check for nodemask intersection inside task_lock() so that
tsk->mems_allowed cannot change. This ensures that nothing can set this
tsk's mems_allowed out from under us and also protects tsk->mempolicy.

Now that subsys->can_attach() and attach() take @tset instead of
@task, they can handle per-task operations. Convert
->can_attach_task() and ->attach_task() users to use ->can_attach()
and attach() instead. Most converions are straight-forward.
Noteworthy changes are,
* In cgroup_freezer, remove unnecessary NULL assignments to unused
methods. It's useless and very prone to get out of sync, which
already happened.
* In cpuset, PF_THREAD_BOUND test is checked for each task. This

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.

{get,put}_mems_allowed() exist so that general kernel code may locklessly
access a task's set of allowable nodes without having the chance that a
concurrent write will cause the nodemask to be empty on configurations
where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG.
This could incur a significant delay, however, especially in low memory
conditions because the page allocator is blocking and reclaim requires
get_mems_allowed() itself. It is not atypical to see writes to
cpuset.mems take over 2 seconds to complete, for example. In low memory
conditions, this is problematic because it's one of the most imporant
times to change cpuset.mems in the first place!
The only way a task's set of allowable nodes may change is through cpusets
by writing to cpuset.mems and when attaching a task to a generic code is
not reading the nodemask with get_mems_allowed() at the same time, and
then clearing all the old nodes. This prevents the possibility that a
reader will see an empty nodemask at the same time the writer is storing a
new nodemask.
If at least one node remains unchanged, though, it's possible to simply
set all new nodes and then clear all the old nodes. Changing a task's
nodemask is protected by cgroup_mutex so it's guaranteed that two threads
are not changing the same task's nodemask at the same time, so the
nodemask is guaranteed to be stored before another thread changes it and
determines whether a node remains set or not.

[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f8 but later
reverted (commit 35926ff5fb) because it itroduced arch specific
__node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
archs. This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than
that there are no functional changes.]
Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is
that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
at node 0 for newly created tasks.
This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
of the cpuset.

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.

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.

Currently, when a cpu goes down, cpu_active is cleared before
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE starts and cpuset configuration is updated from a
default priority cpu notifier. When a cpu is coming up, it's set
before CPU_ONLINE but cpuset configuration again is updated from the
same cpu notifier.
For cpu notifiers, this presents an inconsistent state. Threads which
a CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier expects to be bound to the CPU can be
migrated to other cpus because the cpu is no more inactive.
Fix it by updating cpu_active in the highest priority cpu notifier and
cpuset configuration in the second highest when a cpu is coming up.
Down path is updated similarly. This guarantees that all other cpu
notifiers see consistent cpu_active and cpuset configuration.
cpuset_track_online_cpus() notifier is converted to
cpuset_update_active_cpus() which just updates the configuration and
now called from cpuset_cpu_[in]active() notifiers registered from
sched_init_smp(). If cpuset is disabled, cpuset_update_active_cpus()
degenerates into partition_sched_domains() making separate notifier
for !CONFIG_CPUSETS unnecessary.
This problem is triggered by cmwq. During CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, hotplug
callback creates a kthread and kthread_bind()s it to the target cpu,
and the thread is expected to run on that cpu.
* Ingo's test discovered __cpuinit/exit markups were incorrect.

We have observed several workloads running on multi-node systems where
memory is assigned unevenly across the nodes in the system. There are
numerous reasons for this but one is the round-robin rotor in
cpuset_mem_spread_node().
For example, a simple test that writes a multi-page file will allocate
pages on nodes 0 2 4 6 ... Odd nodes are skipped. (Sometimes it
allocates on odd nodes & skips even nodes).
An example is shown below. The program "lfile" writes a file consisting
of 10 pages. The program then mmaps the file & uses get_mempolicy(...,
MPOL_F_NODE) to determine the nodes where the file pages were allocated.
The output is shown below:
# ./lfile
allocated on nodes: 2 4 6 0 1 2 6 0 2
There is a single rotor that is used for allocating both file pages & slab
pages. Writing the file allocates both a data page & a slab page
(buffer_head). This advances the RR rotor 2 nodes for each page
allocated.
A quick confirmation seems to confirm this is the cause of the uneven
allocation:
# echo 0 >/dev/cpuset/memory_spread_slab
# ./lfile
allocated on nodes: 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
This patch introduces a second rotor that is used for slab allocations.

Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
old unallowed bits later. But in the way, the allocator may find that
there is no node to alloc memory.
The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:
(mpol: mempolicy)
task1 task1's mpol task2
alloc page 1
alloc on node0? NO 1
1 change mems from 1 to 0
1 rebind task1's mpol
0-1 set new bits
0 clear disallowed bits
alloc on node1? NO 0
...
can't alloc page
goto oom
This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we
use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

Nick Piggin reported that the allocator may see an empty nodemask when
changing cpuset's mems[1]. It happens only on the kernel that do not do
atomic nodemask_t stores. (MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG)
But I found that there is also a problem on the kernel that can do atomic
nodemask_t stores. The problem is that the allocator can't find a node to
alloc page when changing cpuset's mems though there is a lot of free
memory. The reason is like this:
(mpol: mempolicy)
task1 task1's mpol task2
alloc page 1
alloc on node0? NO 1
1 change mems from 1 to 0
1 rebind task1's mpol
0-1 set new bits
0 clear disallowed bits
alloc on node1? NO 0
...
can't alloc page
goto oom
I can use the attached program reproduce it by the following step:
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset cpuset /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/1
# echo `cat /dev/cpuset/cpus` > /dev/cpuset/1/cpus
# echo `cat /dev/cpuset/mems` > /dev/cpuset/1/mems
# echo $$ > /dev/cpuset/1/tasks
# numactl --membind=`cat /dev/cpuset/mems` ./cpuset_mem_hog <nr_tasks> &
<nr_tasks> = max(nr_cpus - 1, 1)
# killall -s SIGUSR1 cpuset_mem_hog
# ./change_mems.sh
several hours later, oom will happen though there is a lot of free memory.
This patchset fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set
newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So
we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is
reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes
after read-side task ends the current memory allocation.
This patch:
In order to fix no node to alloc memory, when we want to update mempolicy
and mems_allowed, we expand the set of nodes first (set all the newly
nodes) and shrink the set of nodes lazily(clean disallowed nodes), But the
mempolicy's rebind functions may breaks the expanding.
So we restructure the mempolicy's rebind functions and split the rebind
work to two steps, just like the update of cpuset's mems: The 1st step:
expand the set of the mempolicy's nodes. The 2nd step: shrink the set of
the mempolicy's nodes. It is used when there is no real lock to protect
the mempolicy in the read-side. Otherwise we can do rebind work at once.
In order to implement it, we define
enum mpol_rebind_step {
MPOL_REBIND_ONCE,
MPOL_REBIND_STEP1,
MPOL_REBIND_STEP2,
MPOL_REBIND_NSTEP,
};
If the mempolicy needn't be updated by two steps, we can pass
MPOL_REBIND_ONCE to the rebind functions. Or we can pass
MPOL_REBIND_STEP1 to do the first step of the rebind work and pass
MPOL_REBIND_STEP2 to do the second step work.
Besides that, it maybe long time between these two step and we have to
release the lock that protects mempolicy and mems_allowed. If we hold the
lock once again, we must check whether the current mempolicy is under the
rebinding (the first step has been done) or not, because the task may
alloc a new mempolicy when we don't hold the lock. So we defined the
following flag to identify it:
#define MPOL_F_REBINDING (1 << 2)
The new functions will be used in the next patch.

Introduce cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() helper to fix the cpuset problems

I am not proud of this patch. Everything which needs such a fat comment

simple change make the code much more correct compared to deadlocks we

This patch just states the fact the cpusets/cpuhotplug interaction is
broken and removes the deadlockable code which only pretends to work.
- cpuset_lock() doesn't really work. It is needed for
cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() but we can't take this lock in
try_to_wake_up()->select_fallback_rq() path.
- cpuset_lock() is deadlockable. Suppose that a task T bound to CPU takes
callback_mutex. If cpu_down(CPU) happens before T drops callback_mutex
stop_machine() preempts T, then migration_call(CPU_DEAD) tries to take
cpuset_lock() and hangs forever because CPU is already dead and thus
T can't be scheduled.
- cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() is deadlockable too. It takes task_lock()
which is not irq-safe, but try_to_wake_up() can be called from irq.
Kill them, and change select_fallback_rq() to use cpu_possible_mask, like
we currently do without CONFIG_CPUSETS.
Also, with or without this patch, with or without CONFIG_CPUSETS, the
callers of select_fallback_rq() can race with each other or with
set_cpus_allowed() pathes.
The subsequent patches try to to fix these problems.

This patch fixes it by initializing task->mems_allowed to
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], and updating task->mems_allowed when doing

Since (e761b77: cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo
sched domain managment) we have cpu_active_mask which is suppose to rule
scheduler migration and load-balancing, except it never (fully) did.
The particular problem being solved here is a crash in try_to_wake_up()
where select_task_rq() ends up selecting an offline cpu because
select_task_rq_fair() trusts the sched_domain tree to reflect the
current state of affairs, similarly select_task_rq_rt() trusts the
root_domain.
However, the sched_domains are updated from CPU_DEAD, which is after the
cpu is taken offline and after stop_machine is done. Therefore it can
race perfectly well with code assuming the domains are right.
Cure this by building the domains from cpu_active_mask on
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

Currently partition_sched_domains() takes a 'struct cpumask
*doms_new' which is a kmalloc'ed array of cpumask_t. You can't
have such an array if 'struct cpumask' is undefined, as we plan
for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y.
So, we make this an array of cpumask_var_t instead: this is the
same for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case, but requires
multiple allocations for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y case.
Hence we add alloc_sched_domains() and free_sched_domains()
functions.

Alter the ss->can_attach and ss->attach functions to be able to deal with
a whole threadgroup at a time, for use in cgroup_attach_proc. (This is a
pre-patch to cgroup-procs-writable.patch.)
Currently, new mode of the attach function can only tell the subsystem
about the old cgroup of the threadgroup leader. No subsystem currently
needs that information for each thread that's being moved, but if one were
to be added (for example, one that counts tasks within a group) this bit
would need to be reworked a bit to tell the subsystem the right
information.

Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory
spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is
changed.
In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of
memory policy. Because the memory policy is applied in the process's
context originally. After applying this patch, one task directly
manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the
task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task.
But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a
lock may lead to performance regression. But if we don't add a lock,the
task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some
non-overlapping set. In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes,
then clear newly disallowed ones.
[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:
The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to
apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind()
with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local
allocation. Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty
node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy().
Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new().
Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL
'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new().
Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for
'empty'. However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to
verify this assumption.]
[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:
I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive
enough to differentiate it from mpol_new().
This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes
to those allowed by the cpuset. However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag
is set, it also translates the nodes. So I settled on
'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions
that we need to call this function to "set nodes".
Some additional minor line length, whitespace and typo cleanup.]

The kernel still allocates the page caches on old node after modifying its
cpuset's mems when 'memory_spread_page' was set, or it didn't spread the
page cache evenly over all the nodes that faulting task is allowed to usr
after memory_spread_page was set. it is caused by the old mem_allowed and

This patch prevents such threads from attaching to non-root cpusets. They do
not have mempolicies that restrict them to a subset of system nodes and, since
their cpumask may never change, they cannot use any of the features of
cpusets.
The tasks will forever be a member of the root cpuset and will be returned
when listing the tasks attached to that cpuset.

Lockdep reported some possible circular locking info when we tested cpuset on
NUMA/fake NUMA box.
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.29-rc1-00224-ga652504 #111
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/2968 is trying to acquire lock:
(events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8024c8cd>] flush_work+0x24/0xd8
but task is already holding lock:
(cgroup_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8026ad1e>] cgroup_lock_live_group+0x12/0x29
which lock already depends on the new lock.
......
-------------------------------------------------------
Steps to reproduce:
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems
# echo 1 > /dev/cpuset/0/memory_migrate
# cat /dev/zero > /dev/null &
# echo $! > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks
This is because async_rebuild_sched_domains has the following lock sequence:
run_workqueue(async_rebuild_sched_domains)
-> do_rebuild_sched_domains -> cgroup_lock
But, attaching tasks when memory_migrate is set has following:
cgroup_lock_live_group(cgroup_tasks_write)
-> do_migrate_pages -> flush_work
This patch fixes it by using a separate workqueue thread.

are moved into top cpuset automatically because there is no cpu in sub

We fix this bug by setting task's cpu_allowed to cpu_possible_map when

By reviewing the code, we found that the update function

N_ONLINE just means node has pgdat, and if node has/added memory, we use
N_HIGH_MEMORY. So, We should invoke the update function after

This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.
This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments,
style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.
Here are some more details:
rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().
In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).
This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.
I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.
The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.
It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

When multiple cpusets are overlapping in their 'cpus' and hence they
form a single sched domain, the largest sched_relax_domain_level among
those should be used. But when top_cpuset's sched_load_balance is
set, its sched_relax_domain_level is used regardless other sub-cpusets'.
This patch fixes it by walking the cpuset hierarchy to find the largest
sched_relax_domain_level.

The bug is that a task may run on the cpu/node which is not in its
cpuset.cpus/ cpuset.mems.
It can be reproduced by the following commands:
-----------------------------------
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0-1 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems
# echo $$ > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
-----------------------------------
There is only CPU0 in cpuset.cpus, but the task in this cpuset runs on
both CPU0 and CPU1.
It is because the task's cpu_allowed didn't get updated after we did CPU
offline/online manipulation. Similar for mem_allowed.
This patch fixes this bug expect for root cpuset. Because there is a
problem about root cpuset, in that whether it is necessary to update all
the tasks in root cpuset or not after cpu/node offline/online.
If updating, some kernel threads which is bound into a specified cpu will
be unbound.
If not updating, there is a bug in root cpuset. This bug is also caused
by offline/online manipulation. For example, there is a dual-cpu machine.
we create a sub cpuset in root cpuset and assign 1 to its cpus. And then
we attach some tasks into this sub cpuset. After this, we offline CPU1.
Now, the tasks in this new cpuset are moved into root cpuset automatically
because there is no cpu in sub cpuset. Then we online CPU1, we find all
the tasks which doesn't belong to root cpuset originally just run on CPU0.
Maybe we need to add a flag in the task_struct to mark which task can't be
unbound?

Revert parts of "ftrace: do not trace scheduler functions"
Fixed up conflicts in include/asm-x86/thread_info.h (due to the
TIF_SINGLESTEP unification vs TIF_HRTICK_RESCHED removal) and
kernel/sched_fair.c (due to cpu_active_map vs for_each_cpu_mask_nr()
introduction).
This is based on Linus' idea of creating cpu_active_map that prevents
scheduler load balancer from migrating tasks to the cpu that is going
down.
It allows us to simplify domain management code and avoid unecessary
domain rebuilds during cpu hotplug event handling.
Please ignore the cpusets part for now. It needs some more work in order
to avoid crazy lock nesting. Although I did simplfy and unify domain
reinitialization logic. We now simply call partition_sched_domains() in
all the cases. This means that we're using exact same code paths as in
cpusets case and hence the test below cover cpusets too.
Cpuset changes to make rebuild_sched_domains() callable from various
contexts are in the separate patch (right next after this one).
This not only boots but also easily handles
while true; do make clean; make -j 8; done
and
while true; do on-off-cpu 1; done
at the same time.
(on-off-cpu 1 simple does echo 0/1 > /sys/.../cpu1/online thing).
Suprisingly the box (dual-core Core2) is quite usable. In fact I'm typing
this on right now in gnome-terminal and things are moving just fine.
Also this is running with most of the debug features enabled (lockdep,
mutex, etc) no BUG_ONs or lockdep complaints so far.
I believe I addressed all of the Dmitry's comments for original Linus'
version. I changed both fair and rt balancer to mask out non-active cpus.
And replaced cpu_is_offline() with !cpu_active() in the main scheduler
code where it made sense (to me).

Commit f18f982ab ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler
domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as
described below:
Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE,
update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map)
does the following:
/*
* Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains
* and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing
* code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain
* which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated.
*/
The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been
completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or
CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their
initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only
for !CPUSETS case.
With f18f982ab, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to
CPUSETS code:
cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() ->
rebuild_sched_domains()
Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after
update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by
update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in
the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer
while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress.
__migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already
"offline" when this function is called).
try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU ->
the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the
task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later
-> oops.

First issue is not related to the cpusets. We're simply leaking doms_cur.
It's allocated in arch_init_sched_domains() which is called for every
hotplug event. So we just keep reallocation doms_cur without freeing it.
I introduced free_sched_domains() function that cleans things up.
Second issue is that sched domains created by the cpusets are
completely destroyed by the CPU hotplug events. For all CPU hotplug
events scheduler attaches all CPUs to the NULL domain and then puts
them all into the single domain thereby destroying domains created
by the cpusets (partition_sched_domains).
The solution is simple, when cpusets are enabled scheduler should not
create default domain and instead let cpusets do that. Which is
exactly what the patch does.

Kthreads that have called kthread_bind() are bound to specific cpus, so

or software watchdog threads, so they are not allowed access to the cpu
they work on.
