2007-10-19pid namespaces: make proc have multiple superblocks - one for each namespacePavel Emelyanov
Each pid namespace have to be visible through its own proc mount. Thus we need to have per-namespace proc trees with their own superblocks. We cannot easily show different pid namespace via one global proc tree, since each pid refers to different tasks in different namespaces. E.g. pid 1 refers to the init task in the initial namespace and to some other task when seeing from another namespace. Moreover - pid, exisintg in one namespace may not exist in the other. This approach has one move advantage is that the tasks from the init namespace can see what tasks live in another namespace by reading entries from another proc tree.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: move alloc_pid() lower in copy_process()Pavel Emelyanov
When we create new namespace we will need to allocate the struct pid, that will have one extra struct upid in array, comparing to the parent. Thus we need to know the new namespace (if any) in alloc_pid() to init this struct upid properly, so move the alloc_pid() call lower in copy_process().

When searching the task by numerical id on may need to find it using global pid (as it is done now in kernel) or by its virtual id, e.g. when sending a signal to a task from one namespace the sender will specify the task's virtual id and we should find the task by this value.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: make alloc_pid(), free_pid() and put_pid() work with struct upidPavel Emelyanov
Each struct upid element of struct pid has to be initialized properly, i.e. its nr mst be allocated from appropriate pidmap and ns set to appropriate namespace. When allocating a new pid, we need to know the namespace this pid will live in, so the additional argument is added to alloc_pid(). On the other hand, the rest of the kernel still uses the pid->nr and pid->pid_chain fields, so these ones are still initialized, but this will be removed soon.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: add support for pid namespaces hierarchyPavel Emelyanov
Each namespace has a parent and is characterized by its "level". Level is the number of the namespace generation. E.g. init namespace has level 0, after cloning new one it will have level 1, the next one - 2 and so on and so forth. This level is not explicitly limited. True hierarchy must have some way to find each namespace's children, but it is not used in the patches, so this ability is not added (yet).

2007-10-19pid namespaces: introduce struct upidSukadev Bhattiprolu
Since task will be visible from different pid namespaces each of them have to be addressed by multiple pids. struct upid is to store the information about which id refers to which namespace. The constuciton looks like this. Each struct pid carried the reference counter and the list of tasks attached to this pid. At its end it has a variable length array of struct upid-s. Each struct upid has a numerical id (pid itself), pointer to the namespace, this ID is valid in and is hashed into a pid_hash for searching the pids. The nr and pid_chain fields are kept in struct pid for a while to make kernel still work (no patch initialize the upids yet), but it will be removed at the end of this series when we switch to upids completely.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: prepare proc_flust_task() to flush entries from multiple ↵Pavel Emelyanov
proc trees The first part is trivial - we just make the proc_flush_task() to operate on arbitrary vfsmount with arbitrary ids and pass the pid and global proc_mnt to it. The other change is more tricky: I moved the proc_flush_task() call in release_task() higher to address the following problem. When flushing task from many proc trees we need to know the set of ids (not just one pid) to find the dentries' names to flush. Thus we need to pass the task's pid to proc_flush_task() as struct pid is the only object that can provide all the pid numbers. But after __exit_signal() task has detached all his pids and this information is lost. This creates a tiny gap for proc_pid_lookup() to bring some dentries back to tree and keep them in hash (since pids are still alive before __exit_signal()) till the next shrink, but since proc_flush_task() does not provide a 100% guarantee that the dentries will be flushed, this is OK to do so.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: introduce MS_KERNMOUNT flagPavel Emelyanov
This flag tells the .get_sb callback that this is a kern_mount() call so that it can trust *data pointer to be valid in-kernel one. If this flag is passed from the user process, it is cleared since the *data pointer is not a valid kernel object. Running a few steps forward - this will be needed for proc to create the superblock and store a valid pid namespace on it during the namespace creation. The reason, why the namespace cannot live without proc mount is described in the appropriate patch.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: move exit_task_namespaces()Pavel Emelyanov
Make task release its namespaces after it has reparented all his children to child_reaper, but before it notifies its parent about its death. The reason to release namespaces after reparenting is that when task exits it may send a signal to its parent (SIGCHLD), but if the parent has already exited its namespaces there will be no way to decide what pid to dever to him - parent can be from different namespace. The reason to release namespace before notifying the parent it that when task sends a SIGCHLD to parent it can call wait() on this taks and release it. But releasing the mnt namespace implies dropping of all the mounts in the mnt namespace and NFS expects the task to have valid sighand pointer.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: rework forget_original_parent()Oleg Nesterov
A pid namespace is a "view" of a particular set of tasks on the system. They work in a similar way to filesystem namespaces. A file (or a process) can be accessed in multiple namespaces, but it may have a different name in each. In a filesystem, this name might be /etc/passwd in one namespace, but /chroot/etc/passwd in another. For processes, a process may have pid 1234 in one namespace, but be pid 1 in another. This allows new pid namespaces to have basically arbitrary pids, and not have to worry about what pids exist in other namespaces. This is essential for checkpoint/restart where a restarted process's pid might collide with an existing process on the system's pid. In this particular implementation, pid namespaces have a parent-child relationship, just like processes. A process in a pid namespace may see all of the processes in the same namespace, as well as all of the processes in all of the namespaces which are children of its namespace. Processes may not, however, see others which are in their parent's namespace, but not in their own. The same goes for sibling namespaces. The know issue to be solved in the nearest future is signal handling in the namespace boundary. That is, currently the namespace's init is treated like an ordinary task that can be killed from within an namespace. Ideally, the signal handling by the namespace's init should have two sides: when signaling the init from its namespace, the init should look like a real init task, i.e. receive only those signals, that is explicitly wants to; when signaling the init from one of the parent namespaces, init should look like an ordinary task, i.e. receive any signal, only taking the general permissions into account. The pid namespace was developed by Pavel Emlyanov and Sukadev Bhattiprolu and we eventually came to almost the same implementation, which differed in some details. This set is based on Pavel's patches, but it includes comments and patches that from Sukadev. Many thanks to Oleg, who reviewed the patches, pointed out many BUGs and made valuable advises on how to make this set cleaner. This patch: We have to call exit_task_namespaces() only after the exiting task has reparented all his children and is sure that no other threads will reparent theirs for it. Why this is needed is explained in appropriate patch. This one only reworks the forget_original_parent() so that after calling this a task cannot be/become parent of any other task. We check PF_EXITING instead of ->exit_state while choosing the new parent. Note that tasklits_lock acts as a barrier, everyone who takes tasklist after us (when forget_original_parent() drops it) must see PF_EXITING. The other changes are just cleanups. They just move some code from exit_notify to forget_original_parent(). It is a bit silly to declare ptrace_dead in exit_notify(), take tasklist, pass ptrace_dead to forget_original_parent(), unlock-lock-unlock tasklist, and then use ptrace_dead.

2007-10-19Make access to task's nsproxy lighterPavel Emelyanov
When someone wants to deal with some other taks's namespaces it has to lock the task and then to get the desired namespace if the one exists. This is slow on read-only paths and may be impossible in some cases. E.g. Oleg recently noticed a race between unshare() and the (sent for review in cgroups) pid namespaces - when the task notifies the parent it has to know the parent's namespace, but taking the task_lock() is impossible there - the code is under write locked tasklist lock. On the other hand switching the namespace on task (daemonize) and releasing the namespace (after the last task exit) is rather rare operation and we can sacrifice its speed to solve the issues above. The access to other task namespaces is proposed to be performed like this: rcu_read_lock(); nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk); if (nsproxy != NULL) { / * * work with the namespaces here * e.g. get the reference on one of them * / } / * * NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is * almost dead (zombie) * / rcu_read_unlock(); This patch has passed the review by Eric and Oleg :) and, of course, tested.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().

2007-10-19pid namespaces: define and use task_active_pid_ns() wrapperSukadev Bhattiprolu
With multiple pid namespaces, a process is known by some pid_t in every ancestor pid namespace. Every time the process forks, the child process also gets a pid_t in every ancestor pid namespace. While a process is visible in >=1 pid namespaces, it can see pid_t's in only one pid namespace. We call this pid namespace it's "active pid namespace", and it is always the youngest pid namespace in which the process is known. This patch defines and uses a wrapper to find the active pid namespace of a process. The implementation of the wrapper will be changed in when support for multiple pid namespaces are added. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - [Pavel Emelianov, Alexey Dobriyan] Back out the change to use task_active_pid_ns() in child_reaper() since task->nsproxy can be NULL during task exit (so child_reaper() continues to use init_pid_ns). to implement child_reaper() since init_pid_ns.child_reaper to implement child_reaper() since tsk->nsproxy can be NULL during exit. 2.6.21-rc6-mm1: - Rename task_pid_ns() to task_active_pid_ns() to reflect that a process can have multiple pid namespaces.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: dynamic kmem cache allocator for pid namespacesPavel Emelianov
Add kmem_cache to pid_namespace to allocate pids from. Since both implementations expand the struct pid to carry more numerical values each namespace should have separate cache to store pids of different sizes. Each kmem cache is name "pid_<NR>", where <NR> is the number of numerical ids on the pid. Different namespaces with same level of nesting will have same caches. This patch has two FIXMEs that are to be fixed after we reach the consensus about the struct pid itself. The first one is that the namespace to free the pid from in free_pid() must be taken from pid. Now the init_pid_ns is used. The second FIXME is about the cache allocation. When we do know how long the object will be then we'll have to calculate this size in create_pid_cachep. Right now the sizeof(struct pid) value is used.

The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking at the code for a long time. The proposals are to * equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to represent that fact, * and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making the common prefix of the same name. For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

2007-10-19cgroups: implement namespace tracking subsystemSerge E. Hallyn
When a task enters a new namespace via a clone() or unshare(), a new cgroup is created and the task moves into it. This version names cgroups which are automatically created using cgroup_clone() as "node_<pid>" where pid is the pid of the unsharing or cloned process. (Thanks Pavel for the idea) This is safe because if the process unshares again, it will create /cgroups/(...)/node_<pid>/node_<pid> The only possibilities (AFAICT) for a -EEXIST on unshare are 1. pid wraparound 2. a process fails an unshare, then tries again. Case 1 is unlikely enough that I ignore it (at least for now). In case 2, the node_<pid> will be empty and can be rmdir'ed to make the subsequent unshare() succeed. Changelog: Name cloned cgroups as "node_<pid>". [clg@fr.ibm.com: fix order of cgroup subsystems in init/Kconfig] Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2007-10-19Add cgroupstatsBalbir Singh
This patch is inspired by the discussion at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/187 and implements per cgroup statistics as suggested by Andrew Morton in http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/263. The patch is on top of 2.6.21-mm1 with Paul's cgroups v9 patches (forward ported) This patch implements per cgroup statistics infrastructure and re-uses code from the taskstats interface. A new set of cgroup operations are registered with commands and attributes. It should be very easy to *extend* per cgroup statistics, by adding members to the cgroupstats structure. The current model for cgroupstats is a pull, a push model (to post statistics on interesting events), should be very easy to add. Currently user space requests for statistics by passing the cgroup file descriptor. Statistics about the state of all the tasks in the cgroup is returned to user space. TODO's/NOTE: This patch provides an infrastructure for implementing cgroup statistics. Based on the needs of each controller, we can incrementally add more statistics, event based support for notification of statistics, accumulation of taskstats into cgroup statistics in the future. Sample output # ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/a sleeping 2, blocked 0, running 1, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0 # ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/ sleeping 154, blocked 0, running 0, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0 If the approach looks good, I'll enhance and post the user space utility for the same Feedback, comments, test results are always welcome!

Replace the struct css_set embedded in task_struct with a pointer; all tasks that have the same set of memberships across all hierarchies will share a css_set object, and will be linked via their css_sets field to the "tasks" list_head in the css_set. Assuming that many tasks share the same cgroup assignments, this reduces overall space usage and keeps the size of the task_struct down (three pointers added to task_struct compared to a non-cgroups kernel, no matter how many subsystems are registered).

2007-10-19Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup frameworkPaul Menage
Generic Process Control Groups -------------------------- There have recently been various proposals floating around for resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in different ways. This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an aggregate. The intention is that the various resource management and virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup clients, with the result that: - the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised - it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system. - the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their chances of getting into the kernel This patch: Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state objects to tasks.

2007-10-19cpuset: zero malloc - revert the old cpuset fixPaul Jackson
The cpuset code to present a list of tasks using a cpuset to user space could write to an array that it had kmalloc'd, after a kmalloc request of zero size. The problem was that the code didn't check for writes past the allocated end of the array until -after- the first write. This is a race condition that is likely rare -- it would only show up if a cpuset went from being empty to having a task in it, during the brief time between the allocation and the first write. Prior to roughly 2.6.22 kernels, this was also a benign problem, because a zero kmalloc returned a few usable bytes anyway, and no harm was done with the bogus write. With the 2.6.22 kernel changes to make issue a warning if code tries to write to the location returned from a zero size allocation, this problem is no longer benign. This cpuset code would occassionally trigger that warning. The fix is trivial -- check before storing into the array, not after, whether the array is big enough to hold the store. Cc: "Eric W.

2007-10-19reiserfs: ignore on disk s_bmap_nr valueJeff Mahoney
Implement support for file systems larger than 8 TiB. The reiserfs superblock contains a 16 bit value for counting the number of bitmap blocks. The rest of the disk format supports file systems up to 2^32 blocks, but the bitmap block limitation artificially limits this to 8 TiB with a 4KiB block size. Rather than trust the superblock's 16-bit bitmap block count, we calculate it dynamically based on the number of blocks in the file system. When an incorrect value is observed in the superblock, it is zeroed out, ensuring that older kernels will not be able to mount the file system. Userspace support has already been implemented and shipped in reiserfsprogs 3.6.20.
