[ Upstream commit a22b3d54de94f82ca057cc2ebf9496fa91ebf698 ]

There is a possible race between removing a cgroup diectory that is
a partition root and the creation of a new partition.  The partition
to be removed can be dying but still online, it doesn't not currently
participate in checking for exclusive CPUs conflict, but the exclusive
CPUs are still there in subpartitions_cpus and isolated_cpus. These
two cpumasks are global states that affect the operation of cpuset
partitions. The exclusive CPUs in dying cpusets will only be removed
when cpuset_css_offline() function is called after an RCU delay.

As a result, it is possible that a new partition can be created with
exclusive CPUs that overlap with those of a dying one. When that dying
partition is finally offlined, it removes those overlapping exclusive
CPUs from subpartitions_cpus and maybe isolated_cpus resulting in an
incorrect CPU configuration.

This bug was found when a warning was triggered in
remote_partition_disable() during testing because the subpartitions_cpus
mask was empty.

One possible way to fix this is to iterate the dying cpusets as well and
avoid using the exclusive CPUs in those dying cpusets. However, this
can still cause random partition creation failures or other anomalies
due to racing. A better way to fix this race is to reset the partition
state at the moment when a cpuset is being killed.

Introduce a new css_killed() CSS function pointer and call it, if
defined, before setting CSS_DYING flag in kill_css(). Also update the
css_is_dying() helper to use the CSS_DYING flag introduced by commit
33c35aa48178 ("cgroup: Prevent kill_css() from being called more than
once") for proper synchronization.

Add a new cpuset_css_killed() function to reset the partition state of
a valid partition root if it is being killed.

[ Upstream commit 8bf450f3aec3d1bbd725d179502c64b8992588e4 ]

When remote_partition_disable() is called to disable a remote partition,
it always sets the partition to an invalid partition state. It should
only do so if an error code (prs_err) has been set. Correct that and
add proper error code in places where remote_partition_disable() is
called due to error.

[ Upstream commit 668e041662e92ab3ebcb9eb606d3ec01884546ab ]

Before commit f0af1bfc27b5 ("cgroup/cpuset: Relax constraints to
partition &amp; cpus changes"), a cpuset partition cannot be enabled if not
all the requested CPUs can be granted from the parent cpuset. After
that commit, a cpuset partition can be created even if the requested
exclusive CPUs contain CPUs not allowed its parent.  The delmask
containing exclusive CPUs to be removed from its parent wasn't
adjusted accordingly.

That is not a problem until the introduction of a new isolated_cpus
mask in commit 11e5f407b64a ("cgroup/cpuset: Keep track of CPUs in
isolated partitions") as the CPUs in the delmask may be added directly
into isolated_cpus.

As a result, isolated_cpus may incorrectly contain CPUs that are not
isolated leading to incorrect data reporting. Fix this by adjusting
the delmask to reflect the actual exclusive CPUs for the creation of
the partition.

commit c4af66a95aa3bc1d4f607ebd4eea524fb58946e3 upstream.

The commit b824766504e4 ("cgroup/rstat: add force idle show helper")
retrieves forceidle_time outside cgroup_rstat_lock for non-root cgroups
which can be potentially inconsistent with other stats.

Rather than reverting that commit, fix it in a way that retains the
effort of cleaning up the ifdef-messes.

<title>cgroup: fix race between fork and cgroup.kill</title>

commit b69bb476dee99d564d65d418e9a20acca6f32c3f upstream.

Tejun reported the following race between fork() and cgroup.kill at [1].

Tejun:
  I was looking at cgroup.kill implementation and wondering whether there
  could be a race window. So, __cgroup_kill() does the following:

   k1. Set CGRP_KILL.
   k2. Iterate tasks and deliver SIGKILL.
   k3. Clear CGRP_KILL.

  The copy_process() does the following:

   c1. Copy a bunch of stuff.
   c2. Grab siglock.
   c3. Check fatal_signal_pending().
   c4. Commit to forking.
   c5. Release siglock.
   c6. Call cgroup_post_fork() which puts the task on the css_set and tests
       CGRP_KILL.

  The intention seems to be that either a forking task gets SIGKILL and
  terminates on c3 or it sees CGRP_KILL on c6 and kills the child. However, I
  don't see what guarantees that k3 can't happen before c6. ie. After a
  forking task passes c5, k2 can take place and then before the forking task
  reaches c6, k3 can happen. Then, nobody would send SIGKILL to the child.
  What am I missing?

This is indeed a race. One way to fix this race is by taking
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem in write mode in __cgroup_kill() as the fork()
side takes cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem in read mode from cgroup_can_fork()
to cgroup_post_fork(). However that would be heavy handed as this adds
one more potential stall scenario for cgroup.kill which is usually
called under extreme situation like memory pressure.

To fix this race, let's maintain a sequence number per cgroup which gets
incremented on __cgroup_kill() call. On the fork() side, the
cgroup_can_fork() will cache the sequence number locally and recheck it
against the cgroup's sequence number at cgroup_post_fork() site. If the
sequence numbers mismatch, it means __cgroup_kill() can been called and
we should send SIGKILL to the newly created task.

The CPU usage time is the time when user, system or both are using the CPU.
Steal time is the time when CPU is waiting to be run by the Hypervisor. It
should not be added to the CPU usage time, hence removing it from the

// warning occurs
				kernfs_put_active

This warning is caused by 'kernfs_break_active_protection' when it is
writing to cpuset.cpus, and the cgroup is removed concurrently.

The commit 3a5a6d0c2b03 ("cpuset: don't nest cgroup_mutex inside
get_online_cpus()") made cpuset_hotplug_workfn asynchronous, This change
involves calling flush_work(), which can create a multiple processes
circular locking dependency that involve cgroup_mutex, potentially leading
to a deadlock. To avoid deadlock. the commit 76bb5ab8f6e3 ("cpuset: break
kernfs active protection in cpuset_write_resmask()") added
'kernfs_break_active_protection' in the cpuset_write_resmask. This could
lead to this warning.

After the commit 2125c0034c5d ("cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset hotplug
processing synchronous"), the cpuset_write_resmask no longer needs to
wait the hotplug to finish, which means that concurrent hotplug and cpuset
operations are no longer possible. Therefore, the deadlock doesn't exist
anymore and it does not have to 'break active protection' now. To fix this
warning, just remove kernfs_break_active_protection operation in the
'cpuset_write_resmask'.

Isolated CPUs are not allowed to be used in a non-isolated partition.
The only exception is the top cpuset which is allowed to contain boot
time isolated CPUs.

Commit ccac8e8de99c ("cgroup/cpuset: Fix remote root partition creation
problem") introduces a simplified scheme of including only partition
roots in sched domain generation. However, it does not properly account
for this exception case. This can result in leakage of isolated CPUs
into a sched domain.

Fix it by making sure that isolated CPUs are excluded from the top
cpuset before generating sched domains.

Also update the way the boot time isolated CPUs are handled in
test_cpuset_prs.sh to make sure that those isolated CPUs are really
isolated instead of just skipping them in the tests.

Task's cpuset pointer was removed by
commit 8793d854edbc ("Task Control Groups: make cpusets a client of cgroups")

Paragraph "The task_lock() exception ...." was removed by
commit 2df167a300d7 ("cgroups: update comments in cpuset.c")

Remove stale text:

 We also require taking task_lock() when dereferencing a
 task's cpuset pointer. See "The task_lock() exception", at the end of this
 comment.

 Accessing a task's cpuset should be done in accordance with the
 guidelines for accessing subsystem state in kernel/cgroup.c

and reformat.
