cgroup now distinguishes cftypes for the default and legacy
hierarchies more explicitly by using separate arrays and
CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL and CFTYPE_INSANE should be and are used only
inside cgroup core proper. Let's make it clear that the flags are
internal by prefixing them with double underscores.
CFTYPE_INSANE is renamed to __CFTYPE_NOT_ON_DFL for consistency. The
two flags are also collected and assigned bits >= 16 so that they
aren't mixed with the published flags.

Until now, cftype arrays carried files for both the default and legacy
hierarchies and the files which needed to be used on only one of them
were flagged with either CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL or CFTYPE_INSANE. This
gets confusing very quickly and we may end up exposing interface files
to the default hierarchy without thinking it through.
This patch makes cgroup core provide separate sets of interfaces for
cftype handling so that the cftypes for the default and legacy
hierarchies are clearly distinguished. The previous two patches
renamed the existing ones so that they clearly indicate that they're
for the legacy hierarchies. This patch adds the interface for the
default hierarchy and apply them selectively depending on the
hierarchy type.
* cftypes added through cgroup_subsys->dfl_cftypes and
cgroup_add_dfl_cftypes() only show up on the default hierarchy.
* cftypes added through cgroup_subsys->legacy_cftypes and
cgroup_add_legacy_cftypes() only show up on the legacy hierarchies.
* cgroup_subsys->dfl_cftypes and ->legacy_cftypes can point to the
same array for the cases where the interface files are identical on
both types of hierarchies.
* This makes all the existing subsystem interface files legacy-only by
default and all subsystems will have no interface file created when
enabled on the default hierarchy. Each subsystem should explicitly
review and compose the interface for the default hierarchy.
* A boot param "cgroup__DEVEL__legacy_files_on_dfl" is added which
makes subsystems which haven't decided the interface files for the
default hierarchy to present the legacy files on the default
hierarchy so that its behavior on the default hierarchy can be
tested. As the awkward name suggests, this is for development only.
* memcg's CFTYPE_INSANE on "use_hierarchy" is noop now as the whole
array isn't used on the default hierarchy. The flag is removed.
v2: Updated documentation for cgroup__DEVEL__legacy_files_on_dfl.
v3: Clear CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL and CFTYPE_INSANE when cfts are removed
as suggested by Li.

Currently, cftypes added by cgroup_add_cftypes() are used for both the
unified default hierarchy and legacy ones and subsystems can mark each
file with either CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL or CFTYPE_INSANE if it has to
appear only on one of them. This is quite hairy and error-prone.
Also, we may end up exposing interface files to the default hierarchy
without thinking it through.
cgroup_subsys will grow two separate cftype addition functions and
apply each only on the hierarchies of the matching type. This will
allow organizing cftypes in a lot clearer way and encourage subsystems
to scrutinize the interface which is being exposed in the new default
hierarchy.
In preparation, this patch adds cgroup_add_legacy_cftypes() which
currently is a simple wrapper around cgroup_add_cftypes() and replaces
all cgroup_add_cftypes() usages with it.
While at it, this patch drops a completely spurious return from

sane_behavior has been used as a development vehicle for the default

flag became redundant and confusing as its usage is allowed on all
hierarchies. There are gonna be either the default hierarchy or

on non-default hierarchies.
This patch replaces cgroup_sane_behavior() with cgroup_on_dfl(). The
comment on top of CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR is moved to on top of
cgroup_on_dfl() with sane_behavior specific part dropped.

Currently, the blkio subsystem attributes all of writeback IOs to the
root. One of the issues is that there's no way to tell who originated
a writeback IO from block layer. Those IOs are usually issued
asynchronously from a task which didn't have anything to do with
actually generating the dirty pages. The memory subsystem, when
enabled, already keeps track of the ownership of each dirty page and
it's desirable for blkio to piggyback instead of adding its own
per-page tag.
blkio piggybacking on memory is an implementation detail which
preferably should be handled automatically without requiring explicit
userland action. To achieve that, this patch implements
cgroup_subsys->depends_on which contains the mask of subsystems which
should be enabled together when the subsystem is enabled.
The previous patches already implemented the support for enabled but
invisible subsystems and cgroup_subsys->depends_on can be easily
implemented by updating cgroup_refresh_child_subsys_mask() so that it
calculates cgroup->child_subsys_mask considering
cgroup_subsys->depends_on of the explicitly enabled subsystems.
Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt is updated to explain that
subsystems may not become immediately available after being unused
from userland and that dependency could be a factor in it. As
subsystems may already keep residual references, this doesn't
significantly change how subsystem rebinding can be used.

cgroup is implementing support for subsystem dependency which would
require a way to enable a subsystem even when it's not directly

The previous patches added support for explicitly and implicitly
enabled subsystems and showing/hiding their interface files. An
explicitly enabled subsystem may become implicitly enabled if it's
turned off through "cgroup.subtree_control" but there are subsystems
depending on it. In such cases, the subsystem, as it's turned off
when seen from userland, shouldn't enforce any resource control.
Also, the subsystem may be explicitly turned on later again and its
interface files should be as close to the intial state as possible.
This patch adds cgroup_subsys->css_reset() which is invoked when a css
is hidden. The callback should disable resource control and reset the

The debug controller, as its name suggests, exposes cgroup core
internals to userland to aid debugging. Unfortunately, except for the
name, there's no provision to prevent its usage in production
configurations and the controller is widely enabled and mounted
leaking internal details to userland. Like most other debug
information, the information exposed by debug isn't interesting even
for debugging itself once the related parts are working reliably.
This controller has no reason for existing. This patch implements
cgrp_dfl_root_inhibit_ss_mask which can suppress specific subsystems
on the default hierarchy and adds the debug subsystem to it so that it
can be gradually deprecated as usages move towards the unified

Currently, css_next_child() is implemented as finding the next child
cgroup which has the css enabled, which used to be the only way to do
it as only cgroups participated in sibling lists and thus could be
iteratd. This works as long as what's required during iteration is
not missing online csses; however, it turns out that there are use
cases where offlined but not yet released csses need to be iterated.
This is difficult to implement through cgroup iteration the unified
hierarchy as there may be multiple dying csses for the same subsystem
associated with single cgroup.
After the recent changes, the cgroup self and regular csses behave
identically in how they're linked and unlinked from the sibling lists
including assertion of CSS_RELEASED and css_next_child() can simply
switch to iterating csses directly. This both simplifies the logic
and ensures that all visible non-released csses are included in the
iteration whether there are multiple dying csses for a subsystem or
not.
As all other iterators depend on css_next_child() for sibling
iteration, this changes behaviors of all css iterators. Add and
update explanations on the css states which are included in traversal
to all iterators.
As css iteration could always contain offlined csses, this shouldn't
break any of the current users and new usages which need iteration of
all on and offline csses can make use of the new semantics.

css iterations allow the caller to drop RCU read lock. As long as the
caller keeps the current position accessible, it can simply re-grab
RCU read lock later and continue iteration. This is achieved by using
CGRP_DEAD to detect whether the current positions next pointer is safe
to dereference and if not re-iterate from the beginning to the next
position using ->serial_nr.
CGRP_DEAD is used as the marker to invalidate the next pointer and the
only requirement is that the marker is set before the next sibling
starts its RCU grace period. Because CGRP_DEAD is set at the end of
cgroup_destroy_locked() but the cgroup is unlinked when the reference
count reaches zero, we currently have a rather large window where this
fallback re-iteration logic can be triggered.
This patch introduces CSS_RELEASED which is set when a css is unlinked
from its sibling list. This still keeps the re-iteration logic
working while drastically reducing the window of its activation.
While at it, rewrite the comment in css_next_child() to reflect the
new flag and better explain the synchronization.
This will also enable iterating csses directly instead of through
cgroups.

9395a45004 ("cgroup: enable refcnting for root csses") enabled
reference counting for root csses (cgroup_subsys_states) so that
cgroup's self csses can be used to manage the lifetime of the
containing cgroups.
Unfortunately, this change was incorrect. During early init,
cgrp_dfl_root self css refcnt is used. percpu_ref can't initialized
during early init and its initialization is deferred till
cgroup_init() time. This means that cpu was using percpu_ref which
wasn't properly initialized. Due to the way percpu variables are laid
out on x86, this didn't blow up immediately on x86 but ended up
incrementing and decrementing the percpu variable at offset zero,
whatever it may be; however, on other archs, this caused fault and
early boot failure.
As cgroup self csses for root cgroups of non-dfl hierarchies need
working refcounting, we can't revert 9395a45004. This patch adds
CSS_NO_REF which explicitly inhibits reference counting on the css and
sets it on all normal (non-self) csses and cgroup_dfl_root self css.

Fixes: 9395a45004 ("cgroup: enable refcnting for root csses")
Currently cgroup implements refcnting separately using atomic_t
cgroup->refcnt. The destruction paths of cgroup and css are rather
complex and bear a lot of similiarities including the use of RCU and
bouncing to a work item.
This patch makes cgroup use the refcnt of self css for refcnting
instead of using its own. This makes cgroup refcnting use css's
percpu refcnt and share the destruction mechanism.
* css_release_work_fn() and css_free_work_fn() are updated to handle
both csses and cgroups. This is a bit messy but should do until we
can make cgroup->self a full css, which currently can't be done
thanks to multiple hierarchies.
* cgroup_destroy_locked() now performs
percpu_ref_kill(&cgrp->self.refcnt) instead of cgroup_put(cgrp).
* Negative refcnt sanity check in cgroup_get() is no longer necessary
as percpu_ref already handles it.
* Similarly, as a cgroup which hasn't been killed will never be
released regardless of its refcnt value and percpu_ref has sanity
check on kill, cgroup_is_dead() sanity check in cgroup_put() is no
longer necessary.
* As whether a refcnt reached zero or not can only be decided after
the reference count is killed, cgroup_root->cgrp's refcnting can no
longer be used to decide whether to kill the root or not. Let's
make cgroup_kill_sb() explicitly initiate destruction if the root
doesn't have any children. This makes sense anyway as unmounted
cgroup hierarchy without any children should be destroyed.
While this is a bit messy, this will allow pushing more bookkeeping
towards cgroup->self and thus handling cgroups and csses in more
uniform way. In the very long term, it should be possible to
introduce a base subsystem and convert the self css to a proper one
making things whole lot simpler and unified.

During the recent conversion to kernfs, cftype's seq_file operations
are updated so that they are directly mapped to kernfs operations and
thus can fully access the associated kernfs and cgroup contexts;
however, write path hasn't seen similar updates and none of the
existing write operations has access to, for example, the associated
kernfs_open_file.
Let's introduce a new operation cftype->write() which maps directly to
the kernfs write operation and has access to all the arguments and
contexts. This will replace ->write_string() and ->trigger() and ease
manipulation of kernfs active protection from cgroup file operations.
Two accessors - of_cft() and of_css() - are introduced to enable
accessing the associated cgroup context from cftype->write() which
only takes kernfs_open_file for the context information. The

comparing the returned pointer against the root one in init_css_set[]
which never changes.
Implement task_css_is_root() which can be invoked in any context.
This will be used by the scheduled cgroup_freezer change.
v2: cgroup no longer supports modular controllers. No need to export
init_css_set. Pointed out by Li.

percpu_ref_tryget() is different from the usual tryget semantics in
that it fails if the refcnt is in its dying stage even if the refcnt
hasn't reached zero yet. We're about to introduce the more
conventional tryget and the current one has only one user. Let's
rename it to percpu_ref_tryget_live() so that it explicitly signifies
the peculiarities of its semantics.
This is pure rename.

Until now, cgroup->id has been used to identify all the associated
csses and css_from_id() takes cgroup ID and returns the matching css
by looking up the cgroup and then dereferencing the css associated
with it; however, now that the lifetimes of cgroup and css are
separate, this is incorrect and breaks on the unified hierarchy when a
controller is disabled and enabled back again before the previous
instance is released.
This patch adds css->id which is a subsystem-unique ID and converts
css_from_id() to look up by the new css->id instead. memcg is the
only user of css_from_id() and also converted to use css->id instead.
For traditional hierarchies, this shouldn't make any functional
difference.

Currently, cgroup->id is allocated from 0, which is always assigned to
the root cgroup; unfortunately, memcg wants to use ID 0 to indicate
invalid IDs and ends up incrementing all IDs by one.
It's reasonable to reserve 0 for special purposes. This patch updates
cgroup core so that ID 0 is not used and the root cgroups get ID 1.
The ID incrementing is removed form memcg.

There's no reason to use atomic bitops for cgroup_subsys_state->flags,
cgroup_root->flags and various subsys_masks. This patch updates those
to use bitwise and/or operations instead and converts them form
unsigned long to unsigned int.

cgroup users often need a way to determine when a cgroup's
subhierarchy becomes empty so that it can be cleaned up. cgroup
currently provides release_agent for it; unfortunately, this mechanism
is riddled with issues.
* It delivers events by forking and execing a userland binary
specified as the release_agent. This is a long deprecated method of
notification delivery. It's extremely heavy, slow and cumbersome to
integrate with larger infrastructure.
* There is single monitoring point at the root. There's no way to
delegate management of a subtree.
* The event isn't recursive. It triggers when a cgroup doesn't have
any tasks or child cgroups. Events for internal nodes trigger only
after all children are removed. This again makes it impossible to
delegate management of a subtree.
* Events are filtered from the kernel side. "notify_on_release" file
is used to subscribe to or suppress release event. This is
unnecessarily complicated and probably done this way because event
delivery itself was expensive.
This patch implements interface file "cgroup.populated" which can be
used to monitor whether the cgroup's subhierarchy has tasks in it or
not. Its value is 0 if there is no task in the cgroup and its
descendants; otherwise, 1, and kernfs_notify() notificaiton is
triggers when the value changes, which can be monitored through poll
and [di]notify.
This is a lot ligther and simpler and trivially allows delegating
management of subhierarchy - subhierarchy monitoring can block further
propgation simply by putting itself or another process in the root of
the subhierarchy and monitor events that it's interested in from there
without interfering with monitoring higher in the tree.
v2: Patch description updated as per Serge.
v3: "cgroup.subtree_populated" renamed to "cgroup.populated". The
subtree_ prefix was a bit confusing because
"cgroup.subtree_control" uses it to denote the tree rooted at the
cgroup sans the cgroup itself while the populated state includes
the cgroup itself.

cgroup is switching away from multiple hierarchies and will use one
unified default hierarchy where controllers can be dynamically enabled
and disabled per subtree. The default hierarchy will serve as the
unified hierarchy to which all controllers are attached and a css on
the default hierarchy would need to also serve the tasks of descendant
cgroups which don't have the controller enabled - ie. the tree may be
collapsed from leaf towards root when viewed from specific
controllers. This has been implemented through effective css in the
previous patches.
This patch finally implements dynamic subtree controller
enable/disable on the default hierarchy via a new knob -
"cgroup.subtree_control" which controls which controllers are enabled
on the child cgroups. Let's assume a hierarchy like the following.
root - A - B - C
\ D
root's "cgroup.subtree_control" determines which controllers are
enabled on A. A's on B. B's on C and D. This coincides with the
fact that controllers on the immediate sub-level are used to
distribute the resources of the parent. In fact, it's natural to
assume that resource control knobs of a child belong to its parent.
Enabling a controller in "cgroup.subtree_control" declares that
distribution of the respective resources of the cgroup will be
controlled. Note that this means that controller enable states are
shared among siblings.
The default hierarchy has an extra restriction - only cgroups which
don't contain any task may have controllers enabled in
"cgroup.subtree_control". Combined with the other properties of the
default hierarchy, this guarantees that, from the view point of
controllers, tasks are only on the leaf cgroups. In other words, only
leaf csses may contain tasks. This rules out situations where child
cgroups compete against internal tasks of the parent, which is a
competition between two different types of entities without any clear
way to determine resource distribution between the two. Different
controllers handle it differently and all the implemented behaviors
are ambiguous, ad-hoc, cumbersome and/or just wrong. Having this
structural constraints imposed from cgroup core removes the burden
from controller implementations and enables showing one consistent
behavior across all controllers.
When a controller is enabled or disabled, css associations for the
controller in the subtrees of each child should be updated. After
enabling, the whole subtree of a child should point to the new css of
the child. After disabling, the whole subtree of a child should point
to the cgroup's css. This is implemented by first updating cgroup
states such that cgroup_e_css() result points to the appropriate css
and then invoking cgroup_update_dfl_csses() which migrates all tasks
in the affected subtrees to the self cgroup on the default hierarchy.
* When read, "cgroup.subtree_control" lists all the currently enabled
controllers on the children of the cgroup.
* White-space separated list of controller names prefixed with either
'+' or '-' can be written to "cgroup.subtree_control". The ones
prefixed with '+' are enabled on the controller and '-' disabled.
* A controller can be enabled iff the parent's
"cgroup.subtree_control" enables it and disabled iff no child's
"cgroup.subtree_control" has it enabled.
* If a cgroup has tasks, no controller can be enabled via
"cgroup.subtree_control". Likewise, if "cgroup.subtree_control" has
some controllers enabled, tasks can't be migrated into the cgroup.
* All controllers which aren't bound on other hierarchies are
automatically associated with the root cgroup of the default
hierarchy. All the controllers which are bound to the default
hierarchy are listed in the read-only file "cgroup.controllers" in
the root directory.
* "cgroup.controllers" in all non-root cgroups is read-only file whose
content is equal to that of "cgroup.subtree_control" of the parent.
This indicates which controllers can be used in the cgroup's
"cgroup.subtree_control".
This is still experimental and there are some holes, one of which is
that ->can_attach() failure during cgroup_update_dfl_csses() may leave
the cgroups in an undefined state. The issues will be addressed by
future patches.
v2: Non-root cgroups now also have "cgroup.controllers".

Currently, css_task_iter iterates tasks associated with a css by
visiting each css_set associated with the owning cgroup and walking
tasks of each of them. This works fine for !unified hierarchies as
each cgroup has its own css for each associated subsystem on the
hierarchy; however, on the planned unified hierarchy, a cgroup may not
have csses associated and its tasks would be considered associated
with the matching css of the nearest ancestor which has the subsystem
enabled.
This means that on the default unified hierarchy, just walking all
tasks associated with a cgroup isn't enough to walk all tasks which
are associated with the specified css. If any of its children doesn't
have the matching css enabled, task iteration should also include all
tasks from the subtree. We already added cgroup->e_csets[] to list
all css_sets effectively associated with a given css and walk css_sets
on that list instead to achieve such iteration.
This patch updates css_task_iter iteration such that it walks css_sets
on cgroup->e_csets[] instead of cgroup->cset_links if iteration is
requested on an non-dummy css. Thanks to the previous iteration
update, this change can be achieved with the addition of
css_task_iter->ss and minimal updates to css_advance_task_iter() and
css_task_iter_start().

This patch reorganizes css_task_iter so that adding effective css
support is easier.
* s/->cset_link/->cset_pos/ and s/->task/->task_pos/ for consistency
* ->origin_css is used to determine whether the iteration reached the
last css_set. Replace it with explicit ->cset_head so that
css_advance_task_iter() doesn't have to know the termination
condition directly.
* css_task_iter_next() currently assumes that it's walking list of
cgrp_cset_link and reaches into the current cset through the current
link to determine the termination conditions for task walking. As
this won't always be true for effective css walking, add
->tasks_head and ->mg_tasks_head and use them to control task
walking so that css_task_iter_next() doesn't have to know how
css_sets are being walked.
This patch doesn't make any behavior changes. The iteration logic
stays unchanged after the patch.

On the default unified hierarchy, a cgroup may be associated with
csses of its ancestors, which means that a css of a given cgroup may
be associated with css_sets of descendant cgroups. This means that we
can't walk all tasks associated with a css by iterating the css_sets
associated with the cgroup as there are css_sets which are pointing to
the css but linked on the descendants.
This patch adds per-subsystem list heads cgroup->e_csets[]. Any
css_set which is pointing to a css is linked to
css->cgroup->e_csets[$SUBSYS_ID] through
css_set->e_cset_node[$SUBSYS_ID]. The lists are protected by
css_set_rwsem and will allow us to walk all css_sets associated with a
given css so that we can find out all associated tasks.

944196278d ("cgroup: move ->subsys_mask from cgroupfs_root to

subsys_mask of the children in the parent, instead of itself, is a lot
more natural. This patch restores cgroup_root->subsys_mask and morphs
cgroup->subsys_mask into cgroup->child_subsys_mask.
* Uses of root->cgrp.subsys_mask are restored to root->subsys_mask.
* Remove automatic setting and clearing of cgrp->subsys_mask and

cgrp_dfl_root will be used as the default unified hierarchy. This
patch makes cgrp_dfl_root mountable by making the following changes.
* cgroup_init_early() now initializes cgrp_dfl_root w/
CGRP_ROOT_SANE_BEHAVIOR. The default hierarchy is always sane.
* parse_cgroupfs_options() and cgroup_mount() are updated such that
cgrp_dfl_root is mounted if sane_behavior is specified w/o any
subsystems.
* rebind_subsystems() now populates the root directory of
cgrp_dfl_root. Note that the function still guarantees success of
rebinding subsystems to cgrp_dfl_root. If populating fails while
rebinding to cgrp_dfl_root, it whines but ignores the error.
* For backward compatibility, the default hierarchy shows up in
/proc/$PID/cgroup only after it's explicitly mounted so that
userland which doesn't make use of it doesn't see any change.
* "current_css_set_cg_links" file of debug cgroup now treats the
default hierarchy the same as other hierarchies. This is visible to
userland. Given that it's for debug controller, this should be
fine.
* While at it, implement cgroup_on_dfl() which tests whether a give
cgroup is on the default hierarchy or not.
The above changes make cgrp_dfl_root mostly equivalent to other
controllers but the actual unified hierarchy behaviors are not
implemented yet. Let's plug child cgroup creation in cgrp_dfl_root
from create_cgroup() for now.
