cgroup: clean up cgroup_subsys names and initialization

2014-02-08T15:36:58+00:00

cgroup_subsys is a bit messier than it needs to be.

* The name of a subsys can be different from its internal identifier
  defined in cgroup_subsys.h.  Most subsystems use the matching name
  but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones.

* cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each
  cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys.  cgroup.h is widely
  included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't
  have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier
  indicating that they belong to cgroup.

* cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching
  cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to
  initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit
  silly.

This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing
the followings.

* cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each
  cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys.

* With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland
  visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts.  All non-matching
  identifiers are renamed to match the official names.

  cpu_cgroup -> cpu
  mem_cgroup -> memory
  perf -> perf_event

* controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name.
  They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot.

* Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed.

* While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to
  WARN()s.  BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel
  can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap
  handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs
    classid handling into core").

cgroup: drop module support

2014-02-08T15:36:58+00:00

With module supported dropped from net_prio, no controller is using
cgroup module support.  None of actual resource controllers can be
built as a module and we aren't gonna add new controllers which don't
control resources.  This patch drops module support from cgroup.

* cgroup_[un]load_subsys() and cgroup_subsys->module removed.

* As there's no point in distinguishing IS_BUILTIN() and IS_MODULE(),
  cgroup_subsys.h now uses IS_ENABLED() directly.

* enum cgroup_subsys_id now exactly matches the list of enabled
  controllers as ordered in cgroup_subsys.h.

* cgroup_subsys[] is now a contiguously occupied array.  Size
  specification is no longer necessary and dropped.

* for_each_builtin_subsys() is removed and for_each_subsys() is
  updated to not require any locking.

* module ref handling is removed from rebind_subsystems().

* Module related comments dropped.

v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs
    classid handling into core").

v3: Added {} around the if (need_forkexit_callback) block in
    cgroup_post_fork() for readability as suggested by Li.

net: netprio: rename config to be more consistent with cgroup configs

2014-01-03T22:41:42+00:00

While we're at it and introduced CGROUP_NET_CLASSID, lets also make
NETPRIO_CGROUP more consistent with the rest of cgroups and rename it
into CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_PRIO so that for networking, we now have
CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_{PRIO,CLASSID}. This not only makes the CONFIG
option consistent among networking cgroups, but also among cgroups
CONFIG conventions in general as the vast majority has a prefix of
CONFIG_CGROUP_.

net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core

2014-01-03T22:41:41+00:00

Zefan Li requested [1] to perform the following cleanup/refactoring:

- Split cgroupfs classid handling into net core to better express a
  possible more generic use.

- Disable module support for cgroupfs bits as the majority of other
  cgroupfs subsystems do not have that, and seems to be not wished
  from cgroup side. Zefan probably might want to follow-up for netprio
  later on.

- By this, code can be further reduced which previously took care of
  functionality built when compiled as module.

cgroupfs bits are being placed under net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c, so
that we are consistent with {netclassid,netprio}_cgroup naming that is
under net/core/ as suggested by Zefan.

No change in functionality, but only code refactoring that is being
done here.

cgroup: remove bcache_subsys_id which got added stealthily

2013-07-09T23:30:35+00:00

cafe563591 ("bcache: A block layer cache") added a new cgroup
subsystem bcache_subsys without proper review and ack.  bcache_subsys
seems to use cgroup for group stats and per-group cache_mode
configuration.  This is very much the type of usage that we don't want
to allow.

Fortunately, CONFIG_CGROUP_BCACHE which enables bcache_subsys is
currently commented out, so this shouldn't have any upstream users.
Let's nip in the bud.  While at it, clarify in cgroup_subsys.h that no
new subsystem should be added without explicit acks from cgroup
maintainers.

bcache: A block layer cache

Does writethrough and writeback caching, handles unclean shutdown, and
has a bunch of other nifty features motivated by real world usage.

cgroup: Wrap subsystem selection macro

2012-09-14T16:57:37+00:00

Before we are able to define all subsystem ids at compile time we need
a more fine grained control what gets defined when we include
cgroup_subsys.h. For example we define the enums for the subsystems or
to declare for struct cgroup_subsys (builtin subsystem) by including
cgroup_subsys.h and defining SUBSYS accordingly.

Currently, the decision if a subsys is used is defined inside the
header by testing if CONFIG_*=y is true. By moving this test outside
of cgroup_subsys.h we are able to control it on the include level.

This is done by introducing IS_SUBSYS_ENABLED which then is defined
according the task, e.g. is CONFIG_*=y or CONFIG_*=m.

mm/hugetlb: add new HugeTLB cgroup

2012-08-01T01:42:40+00:00

Implement a new controller that allows us to control HugeTLB allocations.
The extension allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and
enforces the controller limit during page fault.  Since HugeTLB doesn't
support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that,
the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages
beyond its limit.  This requires the application to know beforehand how
much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use.

The charge/uncharge calls will be added to HugeTLB code in later patch.
Support for cgroup removal will be added in later patches.

net: add network priority cgroup infrastructure (v4)

2011-11-22T20:22:23+00:00

This patch adds in the infrastructure code to create the network priority
cgroup.  The cgroup, in addition to the standard processes file creates two
control files:

1) prioidx - This is a read-only file that exports the index of this cgroup.
This is a value that is both arbitrary and unique to a cgroup in this subsystem,
and is used to index the per-device priority map

2) priomap - This is a writeable file.  On read it reports a table of 2-tuples
 where name is the name of a network interface and priority is
indicates the priority assigned to frames egresessing on the named interface and
originating from a pid in this cgroup

This cgroup allows for skb priority to be set prior to a root qdisc getting
selected. This is benenficial for DCB enabled systems, in that it allows for any
application to use dcb configured priorities so without application modification
