2009-04-02cpusets: allow cpusets to be configured/built on non-SMP systemsPaul Menage
Allow cpusets to be configured/built on non-SMP systems Currently it's impossible to build cpusets under UML on x86-64, since cpusets depends on SMP and x86-64 UML doesn't support SMP. There's code in cpusets that doesn't depend on SMP. This patch surrounds the minimum amount of cpusets code with #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in order to allow cpusets to build/run on UP systems (for testing purposes under UML).

2009-04-02cpuset: avoid changing cpuset's mems when errno returnedLi Zefan
When writing to cpuset.mems, cpuset has to update its mems_allowed before calling update_tasks_nodemask(), but this function might return -ENOMEM. To avoid this rare case, we allocate the memory before changing mems_allowed, and then pass to update_tasks_nodemask(). Similar to what update_cpumask() does.

2009-04-02cpuset: rewrite update_tasks_nodemask()Li Zefan
This patch uses cgroup_scan_tasks() to rebind tasks' vmas to new cpuset's mems_allowed. Not only simplify the code largely, but also avoid allocating an array to hold mm pointers of all the tasks in the cpuset. This array can be big (size > PAGESIZE) if we have lots of tasks in that cpuset, thus has a chance to fail the allocation when under memory stress.

2009-04-02memcg: remove redundant message at swaponKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
It's pointed out that swap_cgroup's message at swapon() is nonsense. Because * It can be calculated very easily if all necessary information is written in Kconfig. * It's not necessary to annoying people at every swapon(). In other view, now, memory usage per swp_entry is reduced to 2bytes from 8bytes(64bit) and I think it's reasonably small.

2009-04-02cgroups: use css id in swap cgroup for saving memory v5KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Try to use CSS ID for records in swap_cgroup. By this, on 64bit machine, size of swap_cgroup goes down to 2 bytes from 8bytes. This means, when 2GB of swap is equipped, (assume the page size is 4096bytes) From size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 8 = 4Mbytes. To size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 2 = 1Mbytes. Reduction is large. Of course, there are trade-offs. This CSS ID will add overhead to swap-in/swap-out/swap-free. But in general, - swap is a resource which the user tend to avoid use. - If swap is never used, swap_cgroup area is not used. - Reading traditional manuals, size of swap should be proportional to size of memory. Memory size of machine is increasing now. I think reducing size of swap_cgroup makes sense. Note: - ID->CSS lookup routine has no locks, it's under RCU-Read-Side. - memcg can be obsolete at rmdir() but not freed while refcnt from swap_cgroup is available. Changelog v4->v5: - reworked on to memcg-charge-swapcache-to-proper-memcg.patch Changlog ->v4: - fixed not configured case. - deleted unnecessary comments. - fixed NULL pointer bug. - fixed message in dmesg.

2009-04-02memcg: charge swapcache to proper memcgDaisuke Nishimura
memcg_test.txt says at 4.1: This swap-in is one of the most complicated work. In do_swap_page(), following events occur when pte is unchanged. (1) the page (SwapCache) is looked up. (2) lock_page() (3) try_charge_swapin() (4) reuse_swap_page() (may call delete_swap_cache()) (5) commit_charge_swapin() (6) swap_free(). Considering following situation for example. (A) The page has not been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() doesn't call delete_from_swap_cache(). (B) The page has not been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() calls delete_from_swap_cache(). (C) The page has been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() doesn't call delete_from_swap_cache(). (D) The page has been charged before (2) and reuse_swap_page() calls delete_from_swap_cache(). memory.usage/memsw.usage changes to this page/swp_entry will be Case (A) (B) (C) (D) Event Before (2) 0/ 1 0/ 1 1/ 1 1/ 1 =========================================== (3) +1/+1 +1/+1 +1/+1 +1/+1 (4) - 0/ 0 - -1/ 0 (5) 0/-1 0/ 0 -1/-1 0/ 0 (6) - 0/-1 - 0/-1 =========================================== Result 1/ 1 1/ 1 1/ 1 1/ 1 In any cases, charges to this page should be 1/ 1. In case of (D), mem_cgroup_try_get_from_swapcache() returns NULL (because lookup_swap_cgroup() returns NULL), so "+1/+1" at (3) means charges to the memcg("foo") to which the "current" belongs. OTOH, "-1/0" at (4) and "0/-1" at (6) means uncharges from the memcg("baa") to which the page has been charged. So, if the "foo" and "baa" is different(for example because of task move), this charge will be moved from "baa" to "foo". I think this is an unexpected behavior. This patch fixes this by modifying mem_cgroup_try_get_from_swapcache() to return the memcg to which the swapcache has been charged if PCG_USED bit is set. IIUC, checking PCG_USED bit of swapcache is safe under page lock.

2009-04-02memcg: fix OOM killer under memcgKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch tries to fix OOM Killer problems caused by hierarchy. Now, memcg itself has OOM KILL function (in oom_kill.c) and tries to kill a task in memcg. But, when hierarchy is used, it's broken and correct task cannot be killed. For example, in following cgroup /groupA/ hierarchy=1, limit=1G, 01 nolimit 02 nolimit All tasks' memory usage under /groupA, /groupA/01, groupA/02 is limited to groupA's 1Gbytes but OOM Killer just kills tasks in groupA. This patch provides makes the bad process be selected from all tasks under hierarchy. BTW, currently, oom_jiffies is updated against groupA in above case. oom_jiffies of tree should be updated. To see how oom_jiffies is used, please check mem_cgroup_oom_called() callers.

2009-04-02memcg: fix shrinking memory to return -EBUSY by fixing retry algorithmKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
As pointed out, shrinking memcg's limit should return -EBUSY after reasonable retries. This patch tries to fix the current behavior of shrink_usage. Before looking into "shrink should return -EBUSY" problem, we should fix hierarchical reclaim code. It compares current usage and current limit, but it only makes sense when the kernel reclaims memory because hit limits. This is also a problem. What this patch does are. 1. add new argument "shrink" to hierarchical reclaim. If "shrink==true", hierarchical reclaim returns immediately and the caller checks the kernel should shrink more or not. (At shrinking memory, usage is always smaller than limit. So check for usage < limit is useless.) 2. For adjusting to above change, 2 changes in "shrink"'s retry path. 2-a. retry_count depends on # of children because the kernel visits the children under hierarchy one by one. 2-b. rather than checking return value of hierarchical_reclaim's progress, compares usage-before-shrink and usage-after-shrink. If usage-before-shrink <= usage-after-shrink, retry_count is decremented.

Remount can fail in either case: - wrong mount options is specified, or option 'noprefix' is changed. - a to-be-added subsys is already mounted/active.

In following situation, with memory subsystem, /groupA use_hierarchy==1 /01 some tasks /02 some tasks /03 some tasks /04 empty When tasks under 01/02/03 hit limit on /groupA, hierarchical reclaim is triggered and the kernel walks tree under groupA. In this case, rmdir /groupA/04 fails with -EBUSY frequently because of temporal refcnt from the kernel. In general. cgroup can be rmdir'd if there are no children groups and no tasks. Frequent fails of rmdir() is not useful to users. (And the reason for -EBUSY is unknown to users.....in most cases) This patch tries to modify above behavior, by - retries if css_refcnt is got by someone. - add "return value" to pre_destroy() and allows subsystem to say "we're really busy!"

2009-04-02cgroup: CSS ID supportKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Patch for Per-CSS(Cgroup Subsys State) ID and private hierarchy code. This patch attaches unique ID to each css and provides following. - css_lookup(subsys, id) returns pointer to struct cgroup_subysys_state of id. - css_get_next(subsys, id, rootid, depth, foundid) returns the next css under "root" by scanning When cgroup_subsys->use_id is set, an id for css is maintained. The cgroup framework only parepares - css_id of root css for subsys - id is automatically attached at creation of css. - id is *not* freed automatically. Because the cgroup framework don't know lifetime of cgroup_subsys_state. free_css_id() function is provided. This must be called by subsys. There are several reasons to develop this. - Saving space .... For example, memcg's swap_cgroup is array of pointers to cgroup. But it is not necessary to be very fast. By replacing pointers(8bytes per ent) to ID (2byes per ent), we can reduce much amount of memory usage. - Scanning without lock. CSS_ID provides "scan id under this ROOT" function. By this, scanning css under root can be written without locks. ex) do { rcu_read_lock(); next = cgroup_get_next(subsys, id, root, &found); /* check sanity of next here */ css_tryget(); rcu_read_unlock(); id = found + 1 } while(...) Characteristics: - Each css has unique ID under subsys. - Lifetime of ID is controlled by subsys. - css ID contains "ID" and "Depth in hierarchy" and stack of hierarchy - Allowed ID is 1-65535, ID 0 is UNUSED ID. Design Choices: - scan-by-ID v.s. scan-by-tree-walk. As /proc's pid scan does, scan-by-ID is robust when scanning is done by following kind of routine. scan -> rest a while(release a lock) -> conitunue from interrupted memcg's hierarchical reclaim does this. - When subsys->use_id is set, # of css in the system is limited to 65535.

The ns_proxy cgroup allows moving processes to child cgroups only one level deep at a time. This commit relaxes this restriction and makes it possible to attach tasks directly to grandchild cgroups, e.g.: ($pid is in the root cgroup) echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/CG2/tasks Previously this operation would fail with -EPERM and would have to be performed as two steps: echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/tasks echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/CG2/tasks Also, the target cgroup no longer needs to be empty to move a task there.

2009-04-02ext3: avoid false EIO errorsJan Kara
Sometimes block_write_begin() can map buffers in a page but later we fail to copy data into those buffers (because the source page has been paged out in the mean time). We then end up with !uptodate mapped buffers. To add a bit more to the confusion, block_write_end() does not commit any data (and thus does not any mark buffers as uptodate) if we didn't succeed with copying all the data. Commit f4fc66a894546bdc88a775d0e83ad20a65210bcb (ext3: convert to new aops) missed these cases and thus we were inserting non-uptodate buffers to transaction's list which confuses JBD code and it reports IO errors, aborts a transaction and generally makes users afraid about their data ;-P. This patch fixes the problem by reorganizing ext3_..._write_end() code to first call block_write_end() to mark buffers with valid data uptodate and after that we file only uptodate buffers to transaction's lists. We also fix a problem where we could leave blocks allocated beyond i_size (i_disksize in fact) because of failed write. We now add inode to orphan list when write fails (to be safe in case we crash) and then truncate blocks beyond i_size in a separate transaction.

2009-04-02ext3: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inodeBryan Donlan
ext3_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this -ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the part of the admin. The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls -l said link. This patch thus changes ext3_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE from ext3_iget(), as ext3 does for other filesystem metadata corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is detected.

This is useful in very small setups where there's only one slave device on the bus. This patch does not affect existing setups. I use this for a tiny communication channel between an embedded device and a microcontroller. There are not enough GPIOs available for chipselect and it's not needed anyway in this case.

2009-04-02memory_accessor: implement the new memory_accessor interface for I2C EEPROMKevin Hilman

The platform code can then use the read/write functions in the memory_accessor struct for reading and writing the EEPROM.
