cgroup,freezer: fix incomplete freezing when attaching tasks

2025-06-27T10:07:28+00:00

commit 37fb58a7273726e59f9429c89ade5116083a213d upstream.

An issue was found:

	# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/
	# mkdir test
	# echo FROZEN > test/freezer.state
	# cat test/freezer.state
	FROZEN
	# sleep 1000 &
	[1] 863
	# echo 863 > test/cgroup.procs
	# cat test/freezer.state
	FREEZING

When tasks are migrated to a frozen cgroup, the freezer fails to
immediately freeze the tasks, causing the cgroup to remain in the
"FREEZING".

The freeze_task() function is called before clearing the CGROUP_FROZEN
flag. This causes the freezing() check to incorrectly return false,
preventing __freeze_task() from being invoked for the migrated task.

To fix this issue, clear the CGROUP_FROZEN state before calling
freeze_task().

cgroup: Fix compilation issue due to cgroup_mutex not being exported

2025-06-04T12:40:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 87c259a7a359e73e6c52c68fcbec79988999b4e6 ]

When adding folio_memcg function call in the zram module for
Android16-6.12, the following error occurs during compilation:
ERROR: modpost: "cgroup_mutex" [../soc-repo/zram.ko] undefined!

This error is caused by the indirect call to lockdep_is_held(&cgroup_mutex)
within folio_memcg. The export setting for cgroup_mutex is controlled by
the CONFIG_PROVE_RCU macro. If CONFIG_LOCKDEP is enabled while
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is not, this compilation error will occur.

To resolve this issue, add a parallel macro CONFIG_LOCKDEP control to
ensure cgroup_mutex is properly exported when needed.

cgroup: fix race between fork and cgroup.kill

2025-02-21T12:50:04+00:00

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.

cgroup: Remove steal time from usage_usec

2025-02-21T12:49:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit db5fd3cf8bf41b84b577b8ad5234ea95f327c9be ]

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
usage_usec entry.

cgroup/bpf: only cgroup v2 can be attached by bpf programs

2024-12-14T18:53:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2190df6c91373fdec6db9fc07e427084f232f57e ]

Only cgroup v2 can be attached by bpf programs, so this patch introduces
that cgroup_bpf_inherit and cgroup_bpf_offline can only be called in
cgroup v2, and this can fix the memleak mentioned by commit 04f8ef5643bc
("cgroup: Fix memory leak caused by missing cgroup_bpf_offline"), which
has been reverted.

cgroup: Fix potential overflow issue when checking max_depth

2024-11-08T15:26:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3cc4e13bb1617f6a13e5e6882465984148743cf4 ]

cgroup.max.depth is the maximum allowed descent depth below the current
cgroup. If the actual descent depth is equal or larger, an attempt to
create a new child cgroup will fail. However due to the cgroup->max_depth
is of int type and having the default value INT_MAX, the condition
'level > cgroup->max_depth' will never be satisfied, and it will cause
an overflow of the level after it reaches to INT_MAX.

Fix it by starting the level from 0 and using '>=' instead.

It's worth mentioning that this issue is unlikely to occur in reality,
as it's impossible to have a depth of INT_MAX hierarchy, but should be
be avoided logically.

cgroup: Protect css->cgroup write under css_set_lock

2024-09-12T09:10:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 57b56d16800e8961278ecff0dc755d46c4575092 ]

The writing of css->cgroup associated with the cgroup root in
rebind_subsystems() is currently protected only by cgroup_mutex.
However, the reading of css->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->cgroup. Alternatively, the writing of css->cgroup can be moved
under css_set_lock as well which is done by this patch.

points to the same css, when css->ss is NULL, this avoids extra deferences

cgroup: Make operations on the cgroup root_list RCU safe

2024-08-19T04:00:06+00:00

commit d23b5c577715892c87533b13923306acc6243f93 upstream.

At present, when we perform operations on the cgroup root_list, we must
hold the cgroup_mutex, which is a relatively heavyweight lock. In reality,
we can make operations on this list RCU-safe, eliminating the need to hold
the cgroup_mutex during traversal. Modifications to the list only occur in
the cgroup root setup and destroy paths, which should be infrequent in a
production environment. In contrast, traversal may occur frequently.
Therefore, making it RCU-safe would be beneficial.
