   should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
   task's namespace the global one is to be used;

17 years agopid namespaces: prepare proc_flust_task() to flush entries from multiple proc trees
Pavel Emelyanov [Fri, 19 Oct 2007 06:40:03 +0000 (23:40 -0700)]
pid namespaces: prepare proc_flust_task() to flush entries from multiple proc trees

The first part is trivial - we just make the proc_flush_task() to operate on
arbitrary vfsmount with arbitrary ids and pass the pid and global proc_mnt to
it.

The other change is more tricky: I moved the proc_flush_task() call in
release_task() higher to address the following problem.

When flushing task from many proc trees we need to know the set of ids (not
just one pid) to find the dentries' names to flush.  Thus we need to pass the
task's pid to proc_flush_task() as struct pid is the only object that can
provide all the pid numbers.  But after __exit_signal() task has detached all
his pids and this information is lost.

This creates a tiny gap for proc_pid_lookup() to bring some dentries back to
tree and keep them in hash (since pids are still alive before __exit_signal())
till the next shrink, but since proc_flush_task() does not provide a 100%
guarantee that the dentries will be flushed, this is OK to do so.

Make task release its namespaces after it has reparented all his children to
child_reaper, but before it notifies its parent about its death.

The reason to release namespaces after reparenting is that when task exits it
may send a signal to its parent (SIGCHLD), but if the parent has already
exited its namespaces there will be no way to decide what pid to dever to him
- parent can be from different namespace.

The reason to release namespace before notifying the parent it that when task
sends a SIGCHLD to parent it can call wait() on this taks and release it.  But
releasing the mnt namespace implies dropping of all the mounts in the mnt
namespace and NFS expects the task to have valid sighand pointer.

17 years agopid namespaces: rework forget_original_parent()
Oleg Nesterov [Fri, 19 Oct 2007 06:40:00 +0000 (23:40 -0700)]
pid namespaces: rework forget_original_parent()

A pid namespace is a "view" of a particular set of tasks on the system.  They
work in a similar way to filesystem namespaces.  A file (or a process) can be
accessed in multiple namespaces, but it may have a different name in each.  In
a filesystem, this name might be /etc/passwd in one namespace, but
/chroot/etc/passwd in another.

For processes, a process may have pid 1234 in one namespace, but be pid 1 in
another.  This allows new pid namespaces to have basically arbitrary pids, and
not have to worry about what pids exist in other namespaces.  This is
essential for checkpoint/restart where a restarted process's pid might collide
with an existing process on the system's pid.

In this particular implementation, pid namespaces have a parent-child
relationship, just like processes.  A process in a pid namespace may see all
of the processes in the same namespace, as well as all of the processes in all
of the namespaces which are children of its namespace.  Processes may not,
however, see others which are in their parent's namespace, but not in their
own.  The same goes for sibling namespaces.

The know issue to be solved in the nearest future is signal handling in the
namespace boundary.  That is, currently the namespace's init is treated like
an ordinary task that can be killed from within an namespace.  Ideally, the
signal handling by the namespace's init should have two sides: when signaling
the init from its namespace, the init should look like a real init task, i.e.
receive only those signals, that is explicitly wants to; when signaling the
init from one of the parent namespaces, init should look like an ordinary
task, i.e.  receive any signal, only taking the general permissions into
account.

The pid namespace was developed by Pavel Emlyanov and Sukadev Bhattiprolu and
we eventually came to almost the same implementation, which differed in some
details.  This set is based on Pavel's patches, but it includes comments and
patches that from Sukadev.

Many thanks to Oleg, who reviewed the patches, pointed out many BUGs and made
valuable advises on how to make this set cleaner.

This patch:

We have to call exit_task_namespaces() only after the exiting task has
reparented all his children and is sure that no other threads will reparent
theirs for it.  Why this is needed is explained in appropriate patch.  This
one only reworks the forget_original_parent() so that after calling this a
task cannot be/become parent of any other task.

We check PF_EXITING instead of ->exit_state while choosing the new parent.
Note that tasklits_lock acts as a barrier, everyone who takes tasklist after
us (when forget_original_parent() drops it) must see PF_EXITING.

The other changes are just cleanups.  They just move some code from
exit_notify to forget_original_parent().  It is a bit silly to declare
ptrace_dead in exit_notify(), take tasklist, pass ptrace_dead to
forget_original_parent(), unlock-lock-unlock tasklist, and then use
ptrace_dead.

Pavel Emelyanov [Fri, 19 Oct 2007 06:39:54 +0000 (23:39 -0700)]
Make access to task's nsproxy lighter

When someone wants to deal with some other taks's namespaces it has to lock
the task and then to get the desired namespace if the one exists.  This is
slow on read-only paths and may be impossible in some cases.

E.g.  Oleg recently noticed a race between unshare() and the (sent for
review in cgroups) pid namespaces - when the task notifies the parent it
has to know the parent's namespace, but taking the task_lock() is
impossible there - the code is under write locked tasklist lock.

On the other hand switching the namespace on task (daemonize) and releasing
the namespace (after the last task exit) is rather rare operation and we
can sacrifice its speed to solve the issues above.

The access to other task namespaces is proposed to be performed
like this:

     rcu_read_lock();
     nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk);
     if (nsproxy != NULL) {
             / *
               * work with the namespaces here
               * e.g. get the reference on one of them
               * /
     } / *
         * NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is
         * almost dead (zombie)
         * /
     rcu_read_unlock();

This patch has passed the review by Eric and Oleg :) and,
of course, tested.

17 years agopid namespaces: dynamic kmem cache allocator for pid namespaces
Pavel Emelianov [Fri, 19 Oct 2007 06:39:48 +0000 (23:39 -0700)]
pid namespaces: dynamic kmem cache allocator for pid namespaces

Add kmem_cache to pid_namespace to allocate pids from.

Since both implementations expand the struct pid to carry more numerical
values each namespace should have separate cache to store pids of different
sizes.

Each kmem cache is name "pid_<NR>", where <NR> is the number of numerical ids
on the pid.  Different namespaces with same level of nesting will have same
caches.

This patch has two FIXMEs that are to be fixed after we reach the consensus
about the struct pid itself.

The first one is that the namespace to free the pid from in free_pid() must be
taken from pid.  Now the init_pid_ns is used.

The second FIXME is about the cache allocation.  When we do know how long the
object will be then we'll have to calculate this size in create_pid_cachep.
Right now the sizeof(struct pid) value is used.

17 years agocgroups: implement namespace tracking subsystem
Serge E. Hallyn [Fri, 19 Oct 2007 06:39:45 +0000 (23:39 -0700)]
cgroups: implement namespace tracking subsystem

When a task enters a new namespace via a clone() or unshare(), a new cgroup
is created and the task moves into it.

This version names cgroups which are automatically created using
cgroup_clone() as "node_<pid>" where pid is the pid of the unsharing or
cloned process.  (Thanks Pavel for the idea) This is safe because if the
process unshares again, it will create

/cgroups/(...)/node_<pid>/node_<pid>

The only possibilities (AFAICT) for a -EEXIST on unshare are

1. pid wraparound
2. a process fails an unshare, then tries again.

Case 1 is unlikely enough that I ignore it (at least for now).  In case 2, the
node_<pid> will be empty and can be rmdir'ed to make the subsequent unshare()
succeed.

Changelog:
Name cloned cgroups as "node_<pid>".

Add cgroupstats

This patch is inspired by the discussion at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/187 and implements per cgroup statistics
as suggested by Andrew Morton in http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/263.  The
patch is on top of 2.6.21-mm1 with Paul's cgroups v9 patches (forward
ported)

This patch implements per cgroup statistics infrastructure and re-uses
code from the taskstats interface.  A new set of cgroup operations are
registered with commands and attributes.  It should be very easy to
*extend* per cgroup statistics, by adding members to the cgroupstats
structure.

The current model for cgroupstats is a pull, a push model (to post
statistics on interesting events), should be very easy to add.  Currently
user space requests for statistics by passing the cgroup file
descriptor.  Statistics about the state of all the tasks in the cgroup
is returned to user space.

TODO's/NOTE:

This patch provides an infrastructure for implementing cgroup statistics.
Based on the needs of each controller, we can incrementally add more statistics,
event based support for notification of statistics, accumulation of taskstats
into cgroup statistics in the future.

Sample output

# ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/a
sleeping 2, blocked 0, running 1, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0

# ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/
sleeping 154, blocked 0, running 0, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0

If the approach looks good, I'll enhance and post the user space utility for
the same

Feedback, comments, test results are always welcome!

Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup framework

Generic Process Control Groups
--------------------------

There have recently been various proposals floating around for
resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in
the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy
cgroups, and others.  These all need the basic abstraction of being
able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to
track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control
other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in
different ways.

This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes
into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those
groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an
aggregate.

The intention is that the various resource management and
virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup
clients, with the result that:

- the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised

- it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in
 conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of

17 years agocpuset: zero malloc - revert the old cpuset fix
Paul Jackson [Fri, 19 Oct 2007 06:39:28 +0000 (23:39 -0700)]
cpuset: zero malloc - revert the old cpuset fix

The cpuset code to present a list of tasks using a cpuset to user space could
write to an array that it had kmalloc'd, after a kmalloc request of zero size.

The problem was that the code didn't check for writes past the allocated end
of the array until -after- the first write.

This is a race condition that is likely rare -- it would only show up if a
cpuset went from being empty to having a task in it, during the brief time
between the allocation and the first write.

Prior to roughly 2.6.22 kernels, this was also a benign problem, because a
zero kmalloc returned a few usable bytes anyway, and no harm was done with the
bogus write.

With the 2.6.22 kernel changes to make issue a warning if code tries to write
to the location returned from a zero size allocation, this problem is no
longer benign.  This cpuset code would occassionally trigger that warning.

The fix is trivial -- check before storing into the array, not after, whether
the array is big enough to hold the store.

reiserfs: ignore on disk s_bmap_nr value

Implement support for file systems larger than 8 TiB.

bitmap blocks.  The rest of the disk format supports file systems up to 2^32

Rather than trust the superblock's 16-bit bitmap block count, we calculate it
dynamically based on the number of blocks in the file system.  When an
incorrect value is observed in the superblock, it is zeroed out, ensuring that
older kernels will not be able to mount the file system.

changed the jbd2_journal_enable_debug from int type to u8, makes the
jbd_debug comparision is always true when the debugging level is 0.  Thus
the compile warning occurs.

Thought about changing the jbd2_journal_enable_debug data type back to int,
but can't, because the jbd2-debug is moved to debug fs, where calling
debugfs_create_u8() to create the debugfs entry needs the value to be u8
type.

Even if we changed the data type back to int, the code is still buggy,
kernel should not print jbd2 debug message if the jbd2_journal_enable_debug
is set to 0.  But this is not the case.

The fix is change the level of debugging to 1.  The same should fixed in
ext3/JBD, but currently ext3 jbd-debug via /proc fs is broken, so we

Console keyboard events and accessibility

Some blind people use a kernel engine called Speakup which uses hardware
synthesis to speak what gets displayed on the screen.  They use the
PC keyboard to control this engine (start/stop, accelerate, ...) and
also need to get keyboard feedback (to make sure to know what they are
typing, the caps lock status, etc.)

Up to now, the way it was done was very ugly.  Below is a patch to add a
notifier list for permitting a far better implementation, see ChangeLog
above for details.

You may wonder why this can't be done at the input layer.  The problem
is that what people want to monitor is the console keyboard, i.e. all
input keyboards that got attached to the console, and with the currently
active keymap (i.e. keysyms, not only keycodes).

This adds a keyboard notifier that such modules can use to get the keyboard
events and possibly eat them, at several stages:

- keycodes: even before translation into keysym.
- unbound keycodes: when no keysym is bound.
- unicode: when the keycode would get translated into a unicode character.
- keysym: when the keycode would get translated into a keysym.
- post_keysym: after the keysym got interpreted, so as to see the result
  (caps lock, etc.)

This also provides access to k_handler so as to permit simulation of
keypresses.

ide: set drive->autotune in ide_pci_setup_ports()

Majority of host drivers using IDE PCI layer set drive->autotune, the only
exceptions are:

generic.c
ns87415.c
rz1000.c
trm290.c

it821x.c:
* if memory allocation fails drive->autotune won't be set

piix.c:
* MPIIX controller (no ->init_hwif method so also no ->set_pio_mode method)

However if there is no ->set_pio_mode method there are no changes in behavior
w.r.t. PIO tuning so always set drive->autotune in ide_pci_setup_ports().
