tsk->exit_state can only be 0, EXIT_ZOMBIE, or EXIT_DEAD. A non-zero test is the same as tsk->exit_state & (EXIT_ZOMBIE | EXIT_DEAD), so just testing tsk->exit_state is sufficient. Signed-off-by:

Currently, there exists no method for a process to query the resource limits of another process. They can be inferred via some mechanisms but they cannot be explicitly determined. Given that this information can be usefull to know during the debugging of an application, I've written this patch which exports all of a processes limits via /proc/<pid>/limits. Signed-off-by:

get rid of input BIT* duplicate defines use newly global defined macros for input layer. Also remove includes of input.h from non-input sources only for BIT macro definiton. Define the macro temporarily in local manner, all those local definitons will be removed further in this patchset (to not break bisecting). BIT macro will be globally defined (1<<x) Signed-off-by:

Cause writes to cpuset "cpus" file to update cpus_allowed for member tasks: - collect batches of tasks under tasklist_lock and then call set_cpus_allowed() on them outside the lock (since this can sleep). - add a simple generic priority heap type to allow efficient collection of batches of tasks to be processed without duplicating or missing any tasks in subsequent batches. - make "cpus" file update a no-op if the mask hasn't changed - fix race between update_cpumask() and sched_setaffinity() by making sched_setaffinity() post-check that it's not running on any cpus outside cpuset_cpus_allowed().

Decrustify the kernel/cpuset.c 'cpus' and 'mems' updating code. Other than subtle improvements in the consistency of identifying white space at the beginning and end of passed in masks, this doesn't make any visible difference in behaviour. But it's one or two hundred kernel text bytes smaller, and easier to understand. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fix] Signed-off-by:

Add a new per-cpuset flag called 'sched_load_balance'. When enabled in a cpuset (the default value) it tells the kernel scheduler that the scheduler should provide the normal load balancing on the CPUs in that cpuset, sometimes moving tasks from one CPU to a second CPU if the second CPU is less loaded and if that task is allowed to run there. When disabled (write "0" to the file) then it tells the kernel scheduler that load balancing is not required for the CPUs in that cpuset. Now even if this flag is disabled for some cpuset, the kernel may still have to load balance some or all the CPUs in that cpuset, if some overlapping cpuset has its sched_load_balance flag enabled. If there are some CPUs that are not in any cpuset whose sched_load_balance flag is enabled, the kernel scheduler will not load balance tasks to those CPUs. Moreover the kernel will partition the 'sched domains' (non-overlapping sets of CPUs over which load balancing is attempted) into the finest granularity partition that it can find, while still keeping any two CPUs that are in the same shed_load_balance enabled cpuset in the same element of the partition. This serves two purposes: 1) It provides a mechanism for real time isolation of some CPUs, and 2) it can be used to improve performance on systems with many CPUs by supporting configurations in which load balancing is not done across all CPUs at once, but rather only done in several smaller disjoint sets of CPUs. This mechanism replaces the earlier overloading of the per-cpuset flag 'cpu_exclusive', which overloading was removed in an earlier patch: cpuset-remove-sched-domain-hooks-from-cpusets See further the Documentation and comments in the code itself.

Since these are expanded into call to pid_nr_ns() anyway, it's OK to move the whole routine out-of-line. This is a cheap way to save ~100 bytes from vmlinux. Together with the previous two patches, it saves half-a-kilo from the vmlinux. Un-inline other (currently inlined) functions must be done with additional performance testing. Signed-off-by:

The find_pid/_vpid/_pid_ns functions are used to find the struct pid by its id, depending on whic id - global or virtual - is used. The find_vpid() is a macro that pushes the current->nsproxy->pid_ns on the stack to call another function - find_pid_ns(). It turned out, that this dereference together with the push itself cause the kernel text size to grow too much. Move all these out-of-line. Together with the previous patch this saves a bit less that 400 bytes from .text section. Signed-off-by:

With pid namespaces this field is now dangerous to use explicitly, so hide it behind the helpers. Also the pid and pgrp fields o task_struct and signal_struct are to be deprecated. Unfortunately this patch cannot be sent right now as this leads to tons of warnings, so start isolating them, and deprecate later. Actually the p->tgid == pid has to be changed to has_group_leader_pid(), but Oleg pointed out that in case of posix cpu timers this is the same, and thread_group_leader() is more preferable.

The find_task_by_something is a set of macros are used to find task by pid depending on what kind of pid is proposed - global or virtual one. All of them are wrappers above the most generic one - find_task_by_pid_type_ns() - and just substitute some args for it. It turned out, that dereferencing the current->nsproxy->pid_ns construction and pushing one more argument on the stack inline cause kernel text size to grow. This patch moves all this stuff out-of-line into kernel/pid.c. Together with the next patch it saves a bit less than 400 bytes from the .text section. Signed-off-by:

This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

Only the global-init process must be special - any other cgroup-init process must be killable to prevent run-away processes in the system. TODO: Ideally we should allow killing the cgroup-init only from parent cgroup and prevent it being killed from within the cgroup. But that is a more complex change and will be addressed by a follow-on patch. For now allow the cgroup-init to be terminated by any process with sufficient privileges. Signed-off-by:

The namespace's proc_mnt must be kern_mount-ed to make this pointer always valid, independently of whether the user space mounted the proc or not. This solves raced in proc_flush_task, etc. with the proc_mnt switching from NULL to not-NULL. The initialization is done after the init's pid is created and hashed to make proc_get_sb() finr it and get for root inode. Sice the namespace holds the vfsmnt, vfsmnt holds the superblock and the superblock holds the namespace we must explicitly break this circle to destroy all the stuff. This is done after the init of the namespace dies. Running a few steps forward - when init exits it will kill all its children, so no proc_mnt will be needed after its death. Signed-off-by:

When clone() is invoked with CLONE_NEWPID, create a new pid namespace and then create a new struct pid for the new process. Allocate pid_t's for the new process in the new pid namespace and all ancestor pid namespaces. Make the newly cloned process the session and process group leader. Since the active pid namespace is special and expected to be the first entry in pid->upid_list, preserve the order of pid namespaces. The size of 'struct pid' is dependent on the the number of pid namespaces the process exists in, so we use multiple pid-caches'. Only one pid cache is created during system startup and this used by processes that exist only in init_pid_ns. When a process clones its pid namespace, we create additional pid caches as necessary and use the pid cache to allocate 'struct pids' for that depth. Note, that with this patch the newly created namespace won't work, since the rest of the kernel still uses global pids, but this is to be fixed soon. Init pid namespace still works.

Each pid namespace have to be visible through its own proc mount. Thus we need to have per-namespace proc trees with their own superblocks. We cannot easily show different pid namespace via one global proc tree, since each pid refers to different tasks in different namespaces. E.g. pid 1 refers to the init task in the initial namespace and to some other task when seeing from another namespace. Moreover - pid, exisintg in one namespace may not exist in the other. This approach has one move advantage is that the tasks from the init namespace can see what tasks live in another namespace by reading entries from another proc tree. Signed-off-by:

When we create new namespace we will need to allocate the struct pid, that will have one extra struct upid in array, comparing to the parent. Thus we need to know the new namespace (if any) in alloc_pid() to init this struct upid properly, so move the alloc_pid() call lower in copy_process(). Signed-off-by:

When searching the task by numerical id on may need to find it using global pid (as it is done now in kernel) or by its virtual id, e.g. when sending a signal to a task from one namespace the sender will specify the task's virtual id and we should find the task by this value.

When showing pid to user or getting the pid numerical id for in-kernel use the value of this id may differ depending on the namespace. This set of helpers is used to get the global pid nr, the virtual (i.e. seen by task in its namespace) nr and the nr as it is seen from the specified namespace. Signed-off-by:

Each struct upid element of struct pid has to be initialized properly, i.e. its nr mst be allocated from appropriate pidmap and ns set to appropriate namespace. When allocating a new pid, we need to know the namespace this pid will live in, so the additional argument is added to alloc_pid(). On the other hand, the rest of the kernel still uses the pid->nr and pid->pid_chain fields, so these ones are still initialized, but this will be removed soon. Signed-off-by:

Each namespace has a parent and is characterized by its "level". Level is the number of the namespace generation. E.g. init namespace has level 0, after cloning new one it will have level 1, the next one - 2 and so on and so forth. This level is not explicitly limited. True hierarchy must have some way to find each namespace's children, but it is not used in the patches, so this ability is not added (yet). Signed-off-by:
