The taskstats interface uses microsecond granularity for the user and system time values. The conversion from cputime to the taskstats values uses the cputime_to_msecs primitive which effectively limits the granularity to milliseconds.

The payload contains: +--------------------------------+ | genlmsghdr - 4 bytes | +--------------------------------+ | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* Aggregate header */ +-+------------------------------+ | | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* PID header */ | +------------------------------+ | | pid/tgid - 4 bytes | | +------------------------------+ | | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* stats header */ | + -----------------------------+ <- oops. aligned on 4 byte boundary | | struct taskstats - 328 bytes | +-+------------------------------+ The start of the taskstats struct must be 8 byte aligned on IA64 (and other systems with 8 byte alignment rules for 64-bit types) or runtime alignment warnings will be issued. This patch pads the pid/tgid field out to sizeof(long), which forces the alignment of taskstats. The getdelays userspace code is ok with this since it assumes 32-bit pid/tgid and then honors that header's length field. An array is used to avoid exposing kernel memory contents to userspace in the response.

2010-10-27/proc/stat: fix scalability of irq sum of all cpuKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-0/+15
In /proc/stat, the number of per-IRQ event is shown by making a sum each irq's events on all cpus. But we can make use of kstat_irqs(). kstat_irqs() do the same calculation, If !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it's not a big cost. (Both of the number of cpus and irqs are small.) If a system is very big and CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it does for_each_irq() for_each_cpu() - look up a radix tree - read desc->irq_stat[cpu] This seems not efficient. This patch adds kstat_irqs() for CONFIG_GENRIC_HARDIRQ and change the calculation as for_each_irq() look up radix tree for_each_cpu() - read desc->irq_stat[cpu] This reduces cost.

2010-10-27cgroup: make the mount options parsing more accurateDaniel Lezcano1-30/+60
Current behavior: ================= (1) When we mount a cgroup, we can specify the 'all' option which means to enable all the cgroup subsystems. This is the default option when no option is specified. (2) If we want to mount a cgroup with a subset of the supported cgroup subsystems, we have to specify a subsystems name list for the mount option. (3) If we specify another option like 'noprefix' or 'release_agent', the actual code wants the 'all' or a subsystem name option specified also. Not critical but a bit not friendly as we should assume (1) in this case. (4) Logically, the 'all' option is mutually exclusive with a subsystem name, but this is not detected. In other words: succeed : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup => is it 'all' or 'freezer' ? fails : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup => succeed if we do '-o noprefix,all' The following patches consolidate a bit the mount options check. New behavior: ============= (1) untouched (2) untouched (3) the 'all' option will be by default when specifying other than a subsystem name option (4) raises an error In other words: fails : mount -t cgroup -o all,freezer cgroup /cgroup succeed : mount -t cgroup -o noprefix cgroup /cgroup For the sake of lisibility, the if ... then ... else ... if ... indentation when parsing the options has been changed to: if ... then ... continue fi Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2010-10-27cgroup: add clone_children control fileDaniel Lezcano1-0/+39
The ns_cgroup is a control group interacting with the namespaces. When a new namespace is created, a corresponding cgroup is automatically created too. The cgroup name is the pid of the process who did 'unshare' or the child of 'clone'. This cgroup is tied with the namespace because it prevents a process to escape the control group and use the post_clone callback, so the child cgroup inherits the values of the parent cgroup. Unfortunately, the more we use this cgroup and the more we are facing problems with it: (1) when a process unshares, the cgroup name may conflict with a previous cgroup with the same pid, so unshare or clone return -EEXIST (2) the cgroup creation is out of control because there may have an application creating several namespaces where the system will automatically create several cgroups in his back and let them on the cgroupfs (eg. a vrf based on the network namespace). (3) the mix of (1) and (2) force an administrator to regularly check and clean these cgroups. This patchset removes the ns_cgroup by adding a new flag to the cgroup and the cgroupfs mount option. It enables the copy of the parent cgroup when a child cgroup is created. We can then safely remove the ns_cgroup as this flag brings a compatibility. We have now to manually create and add the task to a cgroup, which is consistent with the cgroup framework. This patch: Sent as an answer to a previous thread around the ns_cgroup. https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018627.html It adds a control file 'clone_children' for a cgroup. This control file is a boolean specifying if the child cgroup should be a clone of the parent cgroup or not. The default value is 'false'. This flag makes the child cgroup to call the post_clone callback of all the subsystem, if it is available. At present, the cpuset is the only one which had implemented the post_clone callback. The option can be set at mount time by specifying the 'clone_children' mount option. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2010-10-27cgroup_freezer: update_freezer_state() does incorrect state transitionsTomasz Buchert1-23/+15
There are 4 state transitions possible for a freezer. Only FREEZING -> FROZEN transaction is done lazily. This patch allows update_freezer_state only to perform this transaction and renames the function to update_if_frozen. Moreover is_task_frozen_enough function is removed and its every occurence is replaced with frozen(). Therefore for a group to become FROZEN every task must be frozen. The previous version could trigger a following bug: When cgroup is in the process of freezing (but none of its tasks are frozen yet), update_freezer_state() (called from freezer_read or freezer_write) would incorrectly report that a group is 'THAWED' (because nfrozen = 0), allowing the transaction FREEZING -> THAWED without writing anything to 'freezer.state'. This is incorrect according to the documentation. This could result in a 'THAWED' cgroup with frozen tasks inside.

This results in a nasty bug - the moved task will become frozen OUTSIDE its original cgroup and will remain in a permanent 'D' state.

2010-10-26fs: allow for more than 2^31 filesEric Dumazet1-3/+3
Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB system and found af_unix was overflowing a 32bit value : <quote> We were seeing a failure which prevented boot. The kernel was incapable of creating either a named pipe or unix domain socket. This comes down to a common kernel function called unix_create1() which does: atomic_inc(&unix_nr_socks); if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files()) goto out; The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files. files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in fs/file_table.c's files_init(). n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10; files_stat.max_files = n; In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384 (0xe0000000). That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553. This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow. </quote> Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of atomic_t. get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long. get_nr_files() is changed to return a long. unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not strictly needed to address Robin problem.

2010-10-26oom: add per-mm oom disable countYing Han2-1/+17
It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be killed to allow future memory freeing. A subsequent patch will prevent kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2) function. This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN. They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in oom conditions. This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the operation is atomic.

2010-10-26resources: support allocating space within a region from the top downBjorn Helgaas1-4/+94
Allocate space from the top of a region first, then work downward, if an architecture desires this. When we allocate space from a resource, we look for gaps between children of the resource. Previously, we always looked at gaps from the bottom up. For example, given this: [mem 0xbff00000-0xf7ffffff] PCI Bus 0000:00 [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap -- available [mem 0xc0000000-0xdfffffff] PCI Bus 0000:02 [mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] gap -- available we attempted to allocate from the [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap first, then the [mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] gap. With this patch an architecture can choose to allocate from the top gap [mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] first. We can't do this across the board because iomem_resource.end is initialized to 0xffffffff_ffffffff on 64-bit architectures, and most machines can't address the entire 64-bit physical address space. Therefore, we only allocate top-down if the arch requests it by clearing "resource_alloc_from_bottom".

2010-10-26resources: handle overflow when aligning start of available areaBjorn Helgaas1-8/+13
If tmp.start is near ~0, ALIGN(tmp.start) may overflow, which would make us think there's more available space than there really is. We would likely return something that conflicts with a previous resource, which would cause a failure when allocate_resource() requests the newly- allocated region.

2010-10-26resources: ensure callback doesn't allocate outside available spaceBjorn Helgaas1-5/+11
The alignment callback returns a proposed location, which may have been adjusted to avoid ISA aliases or for other architecture-specific reasons. We already had a check ("tmp.start < tmp.end") to make sure the callback doesn't return an area that extends past the available area. This patch reworks the check to make sure it doesn't return an area that extends either below or above the available area.

2010-10-25fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inodeChristoph Hellwig1-0/+1
Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it. For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino by themselves. For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed, but that's left for later patches.
