2009-01-08cgroups: add a per-subsystem hierarchy_mutexPaul Menage
These patches introduce new locking/refcount support for cgroups to reduce the need for subsystems to call cgroup_lock(). This will ultimately allow the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() (which was removed recently) to be restored. These three patches give: 1/3 - introduce a per-subsystem hierarchy_mutex which a subsystem can use to prevent changes to its own cgroup tree 2/3 - use hierarchy_mutex in place of calling cgroup_lock() in the memory controller 3/3 - introduce a css_tryget() function similar to the one recently proposed by Kamezawa, but avoiding spurious refcount failures in the event of a race between a css_tryget() and an unsuccessful cgroup_rmdir() Future patches will likely involve: - using hierarchy mutex in place of cgroup_lock() in more subsystems where appropriate - restoring the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() with respect to cgroup_create() This patch: Add a hierarchy_mutex to the cgroup_subsys object that protects changes to the hierarchy observed by that subsystem. It is taken by the cgroup subsystem (in addition to cgroup_mutex) for the following operations: - linking a cgroup into that subsystem's cgroup tree - unlinking a cgroup from that subsystem's cgroup tree - moving the subsystem to/from a hierarchy (including across the bind() callback) Thus if the subsystem holds its own hierarchy_mutex, it can safely traverse its own hierarchy.

2009-01-08memcg: fix swap accounting leakKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Fix swapin charge operation of memcg. Now, memcg has hooks to swap-out operation and checks SwapCache is really unused or not. That check depends on contents of struct page. I.e. If PageAnon(page) && page_mapped(page), the page is recoginized as still-in-use. Now, reuse_swap_page() calles delete_from_swap_cache() before establishment of any rmap. Then, in followinig sequence (Page fault with WRITE) try_charge() (charge += PAGESIZE) commit_charge() (Check page_cgroup is used or not..) reuse_swap_page() -> delete_from_swapcache() -> mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache() (charge -= PAGESIZE) ...... New charge is uncharged soon.... To avoid this, move commit_charge() after page_mapcount() goes up to 1. By this, try_charge() (usage += PAGESIZE) reuse_swap_page() (may usage -= PAGESIZE if PCG_USED is set) commit_charge() (If page_cgroup is not marked as PCG_USED, add new charge.) Accounting will be correct. Changelog (v2) -> (v3) - fixed invalid charge to swp_entry==0. - updated documentation. Changelog (v1) -> (v2) - fixed comment.

2009-01-08memcg: mem+swap controller coreKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch implements per cgroup limit for usage of memory+swap. However there are SwapCache, double counting of swap-cache and swap-entry is avoided. Mem+Swap controller works as following. - memory usage is limited by memory.limit_in_bytes. - memory + swap usage is limited by memory.memsw_limit_in_bytes. This has following benefits. - A user can limit total resource usage of mem+swap. Without this, because memory resource controller doesn't take care of usage of swap, a process can exhaust all the swap (by memory leak.) We can avoid this case. And Swap is shared resource but it cannot be reclaimed (goes back to memory) until it's used. This characteristic can be trouble when the memory is divided into some parts by cpuset or memcg. Assume group A and group B. After some application executes, the system can be.. Group A -- very large free memory space but occupy 99% of swap. Group B -- under memory shortage but cannot use swap...it's nearly full. Ability to set appropriate swap limit for each group is required. Maybe someone wonder "why not swap but mem+swap ?" - The global LRU(kswapd) can swap out arbitrary pages. Swap-out means to move account from memory to swap...there is no change in usage of mem+swap. In other words, when we want to limit the usage of swap without affecting global LRU, mem+swap limit is better than just limiting swap. Accounting target information is stored in swap_cgroup which is per swap entry record. Charge is done as following. map - charge page and memsw. unmap - uncharge page/memsw if not SwapCache. swap-out (__delete_from_swap_cache) - uncharge page - record mem_cgroup information to swap_cgroup. swap-in (do_swap_page) - charged as page and memsw. record in swap_cgroup is cleared. memsw accounting is decremented. swap-free (swap_free()) - if swap entry is freed, memsw is uncharged by PAGE_SIZE. There are people work under never-swap environments and consider swap as something bad. For such people, this mem+swap controller extension is just an overhead. This overhead is avoided by config or boot option. (see Kconfig. detail is not in this patch.) TODO: - maybe more optimization can be don in swap-in path. (but not very safe.) But we just do simple accounting at this stage.

Config and control variable for mem+swap controller. This patch adds CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP (memory resource controller swap extension.) For accounting swap, it's obvious that we have to use additional memory to remember "who uses swap". This adds more overhead. So, it's better to offer "choice" to users. This patch adds 2 choices. This patch adds 2 parameters to enable swap extension or not. - CONFIG - boot option Reviewed-by: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp> Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-01-08memcg: handle swap cachesKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
SwapCache support for memory resource controller (memcg) Before mem+swap controller, memcg itself should handle SwapCache in proper way. This is cut-out from it. In current memcg, SwapCache is just leaked and the user can create tons of SwapCache. This is a leak of account and should be handled. SwapCache accounting is done as following. charge (anon) - charged when it's mapped. (because of readahead, charge at add_to_swap_cache() is not sane) uncharge (anon) - uncharged when it's dropped from swapcache and fully unmapped. means it's not uncharged at unmap. Note: delete from swap cache at swap-in is done after rmap information is established. charge (shmem) - charged at swap-in. this prevents charge at add_to_page_cache(). uncharge (shmem) - uncharged when it's dropped from swapcache and not on shmem's radix-tree. at migration, check against 'old page' is modified to handle shmem. Comparing to the old version discussed (and caused troubles), we have advantages of - PCG_USED bit. - simple migrating handling. So, situation is much easier than several months ago, maybe.

2009-01-08memcg: new force_empty to free pages under groupKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
By memcg-move-all-accounts-to-parent-at-rmdir.patch, there is no leak of memory usage and force_empty is removed. This patch adds "force_empty" again, in reasonable manner. memory.force_empty file works when #echo 0 (or some) > memory.force_empty and have following function. 1. only works when there are no task in this cgroup. 2. free all page under this cgroup as much as possible. 3. page which cannot be freed will be moved up to parent. 4. Then, memcg will be empty after above echo returns. This is much better behavior than old "force_empty" which just forget all accounts. This patch also check signal_pending() and above "echo" can be stopped by "Ctrl-C".

2009-01-08memcg: move all acccounting to parent at rmdir()KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch provides a function to move account information of a page between mem_cgroups and rewrite force_empty to make use of this. This moving of page_cgroup is done under - lru_lock of source/destination mem_cgroup is held. - lock_page_cgroup() is held. Then, a routine which touches pc->mem_cgroup without lock_page_cgroup() should confirm pc->mem_cgroup is still valid or not. Typical code can be following. (while page is not under lock_page()) mem = pc->mem_cgroup; mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc) spin_lock_irqsave(&mz->lru_lock); if (pc->mem_cgroup == mem) ...../* some list handling */ spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mz->lru_lock); Of course, better way is lock_page_cgroup(pc); .... unlock_page_cgroup(pc); But you should confirm the nest of lock and avoid deadlock. If you treats page_cgroup from mem_cgroup's LRU under mz->lru_lock, you don't have to worry about what pc->mem_cgroup points to. moved pages are added to head of lru, not to tail. Expected users of this routine is: - force_empty (rmdir) - moving tasks between cgroup (for moving account information.) - hierarchy (maybe useful.) force_empty(rmdir) uses this move_account and move pages to its parent. This "move" will not cause OOM (I added "oom" parameter to try_charge().) If the parent is busy (not enough memory), force_empty calls try_to_free_page() and reduce usage. Purpose of this behavior is - Fix "forget all" behavior of force_empty and avoid leak of accounting. - By "moving first, free if necessary", keep pages on memory as much as possible. Adding a switch to change behavior of force_empty to - free first, move if necessary - free all, if there is mlocked/busy pages, return -EBUSY. is under consideration. (I'll add if someone requtests.) This patch also removes memory.force_empty file, a brutal debug-only interface.

2009-01-07PCI: Add pci_clear_master() as opposite of pci_set_master()Ben Hutchings
During an online device reset it may be useful to disable bus-mastering. pci_disable_device() does that, and far more besides, so is not suitable for an online reset. Add pci_clear_master() which does just this.

2009-01-07resource: allow MMIO exclusivity for device driversArjan van de Ven
Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device. As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings. This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned. NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set. In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field, drivers issues from userspace.

2009-01-07i2400m: documentation and instructions for usageInaky Perez-Gonzalez
The driver for the i2400m is a stacked driver. There is a core driver, the bus-generic driver that has no knowledge or dependencies on how the device is connected to the system; it only knows how to speak the device protocol. Then there are the bus-specific drivers (for USB and SDIO) that provide backends for the generic driver to communicate with the device. The bus generic driver connects to the network and WiMAX stacks on the top side, and on the bottom to the bus-specific drivers.

2009-01-07USB: usb-storage: add "quirks=" module parameterAlan Stern
This patch (as1163b) adds a "quirks=" module parameter to usb-storage. This will allow people to make short-term changes to their unusual_devs list without rebuilding the entire driver. Testing will become much easier, and less-sophisticated users will be able to access their buggy devices after a simple config-file change instead of having to wait for a new kernel release. The patch also adds a documentation entry for usb-storage's "delay_use" parameter, which has been around for years but but was never listed among the kernel parameters.

2009-01-06coredump_filter: permit changing of the default filterHidehiro Kawai
Introduce a new kernel parameter `coredump_filter'. Setting a value to this parameter causes the default bitmask of coredump_filter to be changed. It is useful for users to change coredump_filter settings for the whole system at boot time. Without this parameter, users have to change coredump_filter settings for each /proc/<pid>/ in an initializing script.
