<title>cgroup: Protect css-&gt;cgroup write under css_set_lock</title>

<id>57b56d16800e8961278ecff0dc755d46c4575092</id>
<content type='text'>
The writing of css-&gt;cgroup associated with the cgroup root in
rebind_subsystems() is currently protected only by cgroup_mutex.
However, the reading of css-&gt;cgroup in both proc_cpuset_show() and
proc_cgroup_show() is protected just by css_set_lock. That makes the
readers susceptible to racing problems like data tearing or caching.
It is also a problem that can be reported by KCSAN.

This can be fixed by using READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to access
css-&gt;cgroup. Alternatively, the writing of css-&gt;cgroup can be moved
under css_set_lock as well which is done by this patch.

cgroup_exit() needs to do this only if the exiting task is a leader and it
is not the last live thread.  The patch doesn't use delay_group_leader(),
atomic_read(signal-&gt;live) matches the code css_task_iter_advance() more.

cgroup_release() can now check list_empty(task-&gt;cg_list) before it takes
css_set_lock and calls ss_set_skip_task_iters().

<title>cgroup/pids: Separate semantics of pids.events related to pids.max</title>

<id>73e75e6fc352bdca08f7e0893d5b6bb37171bdd2</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, when pids.max limit is breached in the hierarchy, the event
is counted and reported in the cgroup where the forking task resides.

This decouples the limit and the notification caused by the limit making
it hard to detect when the actual limit was effected.

Redefine the pids.events:max as: the number of times the limit of the
cgroup was hit.

(Implementation differentiates also "forkfail" event but this is
currently not exposed as it would better fit into pids.stat. It also
differs from pids.events:max only when pids.max is configured on
non-leaf cgroups.)

Since it changes semantics of the original "max" event, introduce this
change only in the v2 API of the controller and add a cgroup2 mount
option to revert to the legacy behavior.

  Nothing major in here this release cycle, just lots of small cleanups
  and some tweaks on kernfs that in the very end, got reverted and will
  come back in a safer way next release cycle.

  Included in here are:

   - more driver core 'const' cleanups and fixes

   - fw_devlink=rpm is now the default behavior

   - kernfs tiny changes to remove some string functions

   - cpu handling in the driver core is updated to work better on many
     systems that add topologies and cpus after booting

   - other minor changes and cleanups

  All of the cpu handling patches have been acked by the respective
  maintainers and are coming in here in one series. Everything has been
  in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Yafang Shao added task_get_cgroup1() helper to enable a similar BPF
   helper so that BPF progs can be more useful on cgroup1 hierarchies.
   While cgroup1 is mostly in maintenance mode, this addition is very
   small while having an outsized usefulness for users who are still on
   cgroup1. Yafang also optimized root cgroup list access by making it
   RCU protected in the process.

 - Waiman Long optimized rstat operation leading to substantially lower
   and more consistent lock hold time while flushing the hierarchical
   statistics. As the lock can be acquired briefly in various hot paths,
   this reduction has cascading benefits.

 - Waiman also improved the quality of isolation for cpuset's isolated
   partitions. CPUs which are allocated to isolated partitions are now
   excluded from running unbound work items and cpu_is_isolated() test
   which is used by vmstat and memcg to reduce interference now includes
   cpuset isolated CPUs. While it isn't there yet, the hope is
   eventually reaching parity with the isolation level provided by the
   `isolcpus` boot param but in a dynamic manner.

One of the last remaining users of strlcpy() in the kernel is
kernfs_path_from_node_locked(), which passes back the problematic "length
we _would_ have copied" return value to indicate truncation.  Convert the
chain of all callers to use the negative return value (some of which
already doing this explicitly). All callers were already also checking
for negative return values, so the risk to missed checks looks very low.

In this analysis, it was found that cgroup1_release_agent() actually
didn't handle the "too large" condition, so this is technically also a
bug fix. :)

Here's the chain of callers, and resolution identifying each one as now
handling the correct return value:

kernfs_path_from_node_locked()
        kernfs_path_from_node()
                pr_cont_kernfs_path()

                                        bfq_bic_update_cgroup()
                                                return value ignored

One of the last remaining users of strlcpy() in the kernel is
kernfs_path_from_node_locked(), which passes back the problematic "length
we _would_ have copied" return value to indicate truncation.  Convert the
chain of all callers to use the negative return value (some of which
already doing this explicitly). All callers were already also checking
for negative return values, so the risk to missed checks looks very low.

In this analysis, it was found that cgroup1_release_agent() actually
didn't handle the "too large" condition, so this is technically also a
bug fix. :)

Here's the chain of callers, and resolution identifying each one as now
handling the correct return value:

kernfs_path_from_node_locked()
        kernfs_path_from_node()
                pr_cont_kernfs_path()
                        returns void
                kernfs_path()
                        sysfs_warn_dup()
                                return value ignored

                                        bfq_bic_update_cgroup()
                                                return value ignored
                                TRACE_IOCG_PATH()

<title>kernel/cgroup: use kernfs_create_dir_ns()</title>

By passing the fsugid to kernfs_create_dir_ns(), we don't need
cgroup_kn_set_ugid() any longer.  That function was added for exactly
this purpose by commit 49957f8e2a43 ("cgroup: newly created dirs and
files should be owned by the creator").

Eliminating this piece of duplicate code means we benefit from future
improvements to kernfs_create_dir_ns(); for example, both are lacking
S_ISGID support currently, which my next patch will add to
kernfs_create_dir_ns().  It cannot (easily) be added to
cgroup_kn_set_ugid() because we can't dereference struct kernfs_iattrs
from there.
