cgroup_tree_mutex was introduced to work around the circular
dependency between cgroup_mutex and kernfs active protection - some
kernfs file and directory operations needed cgroup_mutex putting
cgroup_mutex under active protection but cgroup also needs to be able
to access cgroup hierarchies and cftypes to determine which
kernfs_nodes need to be removed. cgroup_tree_mutex nested above both
cgroup_mutex and kernfs active protection and used to protect the
hierarchy and cftypes. While this worked, it added a lot of double
lockings and was generally cumbersome.
kernfs provides a mechanism to opt out of active protection and cgroup
was already using it for removal and subtree_control. There's no
reason to mix both methods of avoiding circular locking dependency and
the preceding cgroup_kn_lock_live() changes applied it to all relevant
cgroup kernfs operations making it unnecessary to nest cgroup_mutex
under kernfs active protection. The previous patch reversed the
original lock ordering and put cgroup_mutex above kernfs active
protection.
After these changes, all cgroup_tree_mutex usages are now accompanied
by cgroup_mutex making the former completely redundant. This patch
removes cgroup_tree_mutex and all its usages.

After the recent cgroup_kn_lock_live() changes, cgroup_mutex is no
longer nested below kernfs active protection. The two don't have any
relationship now.
This patch nests kernfs active protection under cgroup_mutex. All
cftype operations now require both cgroup_tree_mutex and cgroup_mutex,
temporary cgroup_mutex releases over kernfs operations are removed,
and cgroup_add/rm_cftypes() grab both mutexes.
This makes cgroup_tree_mutex redundant, which will be removed by the
next patch.

During the recent conversion to kernfs, cftype's seq_file operations
are updated so that they are directly mapped to kernfs operations and
thus can fully access the associated kernfs and cgroup contexts;
however, write path hasn't seen similar updates and none of the
existing write operations has access to, for example, the associated
kernfs_open_file.
Let's introduce a new operation cftype->write() which maps directly to
the kernfs write operation and has access to all the arguments and
contexts. This will replace ->write_string() and ->trigger() and ease
manipulation of kernfs active protection from cgroup file operations.
Two accessors - of_cft() and of_css() - are introduced to enable
accessing the associated cgroup context from cftype->write() which
only takes kernfs_open_file for the context information. The
accessors for seq_file operations - seq_cft() and seq_css() - are
rewritten to wrap the of_ accessors.

seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about
on/offline state.

I was confused that strsep() was equivalent to strtok_r() in skipping

inflexible, which makes allowing multiple whitespace chars as

Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt describes too.
Also, parsing may access beyond the end of the string if the string
ends with spaces or is zero-length. Make sure it skips zero-length
tokens. Note that this also ensures that the parser doesn't puke on
multiple consecutive spaces.

cgroup users often need a way to determine when a cgroup's
subhierarchy becomes empty so that it can be cleaned up. cgroup
currently provides release_agent for it; unfortunately, this mechanism
is riddled with issues.
* It delivers events by forking and execing a userland binary
specified as the release_agent. This is a long deprecated method of
notification delivery. It's extremely heavy, slow and cumbersome to
integrate with larger infrastructure.
* There is single monitoring point at the root. There's no way to
delegate management of a subtree.
* The event isn't recursive. It triggers when a cgroup doesn't have
any tasks or child cgroups. Events for internal nodes trigger only
after all children are removed. This again makes it impossible to
delegate management of a subtree.
* Events are filtered from the kernel side. "notify_on_release" file
is used to subscribe to or suppress release event. This is
unnecessarily complicated and probably done this way because event
delivery itself was expensive.
This patch implements interface file "cgroup.populated" which can be
used to monitor whether the cgroup's subhierarchy has tasks in it or
not. Its value is 0 if there is no task in the cgroup and its
descendants; otherwise, 1, and kernfs_notify() notificaiton is
triggers when the value changes, which can be monitored through poll
and [di]notify.
This is a lot ligther and simpler and trivially allows delegating
management of subhierarchy - subhierarchy monitoring can block further
propgation simply by putting itself or another process in the root of
the subhierarchy and monitor events that it's interested in from there
without interfering with monitoring higher in the tree.
v2: Patch description updated as per Serge.
v3: "cgroup.subtree_populated" renamed to "cgroup.populated". The
subtree_ prefix was a bit confusing because
"cgroup.subtree_control" uses it to denote the tree rooted at the
cgroup sans the cgroup itself while the populated state includes
the cgroup itself.

cgroup is switching away from multiple hierarchies and will use one
unified default hierarchy where controllers can be dynamically enabled
and disabled per subtree. The default hierarchy will serve as the
unified hierarchy to which all controllers are attached and a css on
the default hierarchy would need to also serve the tasks of descendant
cgroups which don't have the controller enabled - ie. the tree may be
collapsed from leaf towards root when viewed from specific
controllers. This has been implemented through effective css in the
previous patches.
This patch finally implements dynamic subtree controller
enable/disable on the default hierarchy via a new knob -
"cgroup.subtree_control" which controls which controllers are enabled
on the child cgroups. Let's assume a hierarchy like the following.
root - A - B - C
\ D
root's "cgroup.subtree_control" determines which controllers are
enabled on A. A's on B. B's on C and D. This coincides with the
fact that controllers on the immediate sub-level are used to
distribute the resources of the parent. In fact, it's natural to
assume that resource control knobs of a child belong to its parent.
Enabling a controller in "cgroup.subtree_control" declares that
distribution of the respective resources of the cgroup will be
controlled. Note that this means that controller enable states are
shared among siblings.
The default hierarchy has an extra restriction - only cgroups which
don't contain any task may have controllers enabled in
"cgroup.subtree_control". Combined with the other properties of the
default hierarchy, this guarantees that, from the view point of
controllers, tasks are only on the leaf cgroups. In other words, only
leaf csses may contain tasks. This rules out situations where child
cgroups compete against internal tasks of the parent, which is a
competition between two different types of entities without any clear
way to determine resource distribution between the two. Different
controllers handle it differently and all the implemented behaviors
are ambiguous, ad-hoc, cumbersome and/or just wrong. Having this
structural constraints imposed from cgroup core removes the burden
from controller implementations and enables showing one consistent
behavior across all controllers.
When a controller is enabled or disabled, css associations for the
controller in the subtrees of each child should be updated. After
enabling, the whole subtree of a child should point to the new css of
the child. After disabling, the whole subtree of a child should point
to the cgroup's css. This is implemented by first updating cgroup
states such that cgroup_e_css() result points to the appropriate css
and then invoking cgroup_update_dfl_csses() which migrates all tasks
in the affected subtrees to the self cgroup on the default hierarchy.
* When read, "cgroup.subtree_control" lists all the currently enabled
controllers on the children of the cgroup.
* White-space separated list of controller names prefixed with either
'+' or '-' can be written to "cgroup.subtree_control". The ones
prefixed with '+' are enabled on the controller and '-' disabled.
* A controller can be enabled iff the parent's
"cgroup.subtree_control" enables it and disabled iff no child's
"cgroup.subtree_control" has it enabled.
* If a cgroup has tasks, no controller can be enabled via
"cgroup.subtree_control". Likewise, if "cgroup.subtree_control" has
some controllers enabled, tasks can't be migrated into the cgroup.
* All controllers which aren't bound on other hierarchies are
automatically associated with the root cgroup of the default
hierarchy. All the controllers which are bound to the default
hierarchy are listed in the read-only file "cgroup.controllers" in
the root directory.
* "cgroup.controllers" in all non-root cgroups is read-only file whose
content is equal to that of "cgroup.subtree_control" of the parent.
This indicates which controllers can be used in the cgroup's
"cgroup.subtree_control".
This is still experimental and there are some holes, one of which is
that ->can_attach() failure during cgroup_update_dfl_csses() may leave
the cgroups in an undefined state. The issues will be addressed by
future patches.
v2: Non-root cgroups now also have "cgroup.controllers".

Unified hierarchy implementation would require re-migrating tasks onto
the same cgroup on the default hierarchy to reflect updated effective
csses. Update cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() so that it accepts NULL as
the destination cgrp. When NULL is specified, the destination is
considered to be the cgroup on the default hierarchy associated with
each css_set.
After this change, the identity check in cgroup_migrate_add_src()
isn't sufficient for noop detection as the associated csses may change
without any cgroup association changing. The only way to tell whether
a migration is noop or not is testing whether the source and
destination csets are identical. The noop check in
cgroup_migrate_add_src() is removed and cset identity test is added to
cgroup_migreate_prepare_dst(). If it's detected that source and
destination csets are identical, the cset is removed removed from
@preloaded_csets and all the migration nodes are cleared which makes
cgroup_migrate() ignore the cset.
Also, make the function append the destination css_sets to
@preloaded_list so that destination css_sets always come after source
css_sets.

Because the default root couldn't have any non-root csses attached to
it, rebinding away from it was always allowed; however, the default
hierarchy will soon host the unified hierarchy and have non-root csses
so the rebind restrictions need to be updated accordingly.
Instead of special casing rebinding from the default hierarchy and
then checking whether the source hierarchy has children cgroups, which
implies non-root csses for !dfl hierarchies, simply check whether the
source hierarchy has non-root csses for the subsystem using
css_next_child().

Now that effective css handling has been added and iterators updated
accordingly, it's safe to allow cgroup creation in the default
hierarchy. Unblock cgroup creation in the default hierarchy.
As the default hierarchy will implement explicit enabling and
disabling of controllers on each cgroup, suppress automatic css
enabling on cgroup creation.

After a css finishes offlining, offline_css() mistakenly performs
RCU_INIT_POINTER(css->cgroup->subsys[ss->id], css) which just sets the
cgroup->subsys[] pointer to the current value. The intention was to
clear it after offline is complete, not reassign the same value.
Update it to assign NULL instead of the current value. This makes
cgroup_css() to return NULL once offline is complete. All the
existing users of the function either can handle NULL return already
or guarantee that the css doesn't get offlined.
While this is a bugfix, as css lifetime is currently tied to the
cgroup it belongs to, this bug doesn't cause any actual problems.

Currently, css_task_iter iterates tasks associated with a css by
visiting each css_set associated with the owning cgroup and walking
tasks of each of them. This works fine for !unified hierarchies as
each cgroup has its own css for each associated subsystem on the
hierarchy; however, on the planned unified hierarchy, a cgroup may not
have csses associated and its tasks would be considered associated
with the matching css of the nearest ancestor which has the subsystem
enabled.
This means that on the default unified hierarchy, just walking all
tasks associated with a cgroup isn't enough to walk all tasks which
are associated with the specified css. If any of its children doesn't
have the matching css enabled, task iteration should also include all
tasks from the subtree. We already added cgroup->e_csets[] to list
all css_sets effectively associated with a given css and walk css_sets
on that list instead to achieve such iteration.
This patch updates css_task_iter iteration such that it walks css_sets
on cgroup->e_csets[] instead of cgroup->cset_links if iteration is
requested on an non-dummy css. Thanks to the previous iteration
update, this change can be achieved with the addition of
css_task_iter->ss and minimal updates to css_advance_task_iter() and
css_task_iter_start().

This patch reorganizes css_task_iter so that adding effective css
support is easier.
* s/->cset_link/->cset_pos/ and s/->task/->task_pos/ for consistency
* ->origin_css is used to determine whether the iteration reached the
last css_set. Replace it with explicit ->cset_head so that
css_advance_task_iter() doesn't have to know the termination
condition directly.
* css_task_iter_next() currently assumes that it's walking list of
cgrp_cset_link and reaches into the current cset through the current
link to determine the termination conditions for task walking. As
this won't always be true for effective css walking, add
->tasks_head and ->mg_tasks_head and use them to control task
walking so that css_task_iter_next() doesn't have to know how
css_sets are being walked.
This patch doesn't make any behavior changes. The iteration logic
stays unchanged after the patch.

css_next_child() walks the children of the specified css. It does
this by finding the next cgroup and then returning the requested css.

On the default unified hierarchy, a cgroup may be associated with
csses of its ancestors, which means that a css of a given cgroup may
be associated with css_sets of descendant cgroups. This means that we
can't walk all tasks associated with a css by iterating the css_sets
associated with the cgroup as there are css_sets which are pointing to
the css but linked on the descendants.
This patch adds per-subsystem list heads cgroup->e_csets[]. Any
css_set which is pointing to a css is linked to
css->cgroup->e_csets[$SUBSYS_ID] through
css_set->e_cset_node[$SUBSYS_ID]. The lists are protected by
css_set_rwsem and will allow us to walk all css_sets associated with a
given css so that we can find out all associated tasks.

In the planned default unified hierarchy, controllers may get
dynamically attached to and detached from a cgroup and a cgroup may
not have csses for all the controllers associated with the hierarchy.
When a cgroup doesn't have its own css for a given controller, the css
of the nearest ancestor with the controller enabled will be used,
which is called the effective css. This patch introduces
cgroup_e_css() and for_each_e_css() to access the effective csses and
convert compare_css_sets(), find_existing_css_set() and
cgroup_migrate() to use the effective csses so that they can handle
cgroups with partial csses correctly.
This means that for two css_sets to be considered identical, they
should have both matching csses and cgroups. compare_css_sets()
already compares both, not for correctness but for optimization. As
this now becomes a matter of correctness, update the comments
accordingly.
For all !default hierarchies, cgroup_e_css() always equals
cgroup_css(), so this patch doesn't change behavior.
While at it, fix incorrect locking comment for for_each_css().

944196278d ("cgroup: move ->subsys_mask from cgroupfs_root to

the unified hierarhcy; however, it turns out that carrying the
subsys_mask of the children in the parent, instead of itself, is a lot
more natural. This patch restores cgroup_root->subsys_mask and morphs
cgroup->subsys_mask into cgroup->child_subsys_mask.
* Uses of root->cgrp.subsys_mask are restored to root->subsys_mask.
* Remove automatic setting and clearing of cgrp->subsys_mask and

If we hit the retry path, we'll call parse_cgroupfs_options() again,
but the string we pass to it has been modified by the previous call
to this function.
This bug can be observed by:
# mount -t cgroup -o name=foo,cpuset xxx /mnt && umount /mnt && \
mount -t cgroup -o name=foo,cpuset xxx /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on xxx,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
...
The second mount passed "name=foo,cpuset" to the parser, and then it
hit the retry path and call the parser again, but this time the string
passed to the parser is "name=foo".
To fix this, we avoid calling parse_cgroupfs_options() again in this

While converting cgroup to kernfs, 2bd59d48eb ("cgroup: convert to
kernfs") accidentally dropped the logic which makes newly created
cgroup dirs and files owned by the current uid / gid. This broke
cases where cgroup subtree management is delegated to !root as the sub
manager wouldn't be able to create more than single level of hierarchy
or put tasks into child cgroups it created.
Among other things, this breaks user session management in systemd and
one of the symptoms was 90s hang during shutdown. User session
systemd running as the user creates a sub-service to initiate shutdown
and tries to put kill(1) into it but fails because cgroup.procs is
owned by root. This leads to 90s hang during shutdown.
Implement cgroup_kn_set_ugid() which sets a kn's uid and gid to those
of the caller and use it from file and dir creation paths.

will be called only once.
Try:

# mount -t cgroup -o cpuacct xxx /cgroup2
# cat /proc/cgroups | grep cpuacct
cpuacct 2 1 1
# umount /cgroup
