root cgroup. This is a part of the several patches to reduce mem cgroup overhead. I had posted other approaches earlier (including using percpu counters). Those patches will be a natural addition and will be added iteratively on top of these. The patch stops resource counter accounting for the root cgroup. The data for display is derived from the statisitcs we maintain via mem_cgroup_charge_statistics (which is more scalable). What happens today is that, we do double accounting, once using res_counter_charge() and once using memory_cgroup_charge_statistics(). For the root, since we don't implement limits any more, we don't need to track every charge via res_counter_charge() and check for limit being exceeded and reclaim. The main mem->res usage_in_bytes can be derived by summing the cache and rss usage data from memory statistics (MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE). However, for memsw->res usage_in_bytes, we need additional data about swapped out memory. This patch adds a MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT and uses that along with MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE to derive the memsw data. This data is computed recursively when hierarchy is enabled. The tests results I see on a 24 way show that 1. The lock contention disappears from /proc/lock_stats 2. The results of the test are comparable to running with cgroup_disable=memory.

Permit reclaim from memory cgroups on contention (via the direct reclaim path). memory cgroup soft limit reclaim finds the group that exceeds its soft limit by the largest number of pages and reclaims pages from it and then reinserts the cgroup into its correct place in the rbtree. Add additional checks to mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() to detect long loops in case all swap is turned off. The code has been refactored and the loop check (loop < 2) has been enhanced for soft limits. For soft limits, we try to do more targetted reclaim. Instead of bailing out after two loops, the routine now reclaims memory proportional to the size by which the soft limit is exceeded. The proportion has been empirically determined. Signed-off-by:

Introduce an RB-Tree for storing memory cgroups that are over their soft limit. The overall goal is to 1. Add a memory cgroup to the RB-Tree when the soft limit is exceeded. We are careful about updates, updates take place only after a particular time interval has passed 2. We remove the node from the RB-Tree when the usage goes below the soft limit The next set of patches will exploit the RB-Tree to get the group that is over its soft limit by the largest amount and reclaim from it, when we face memory contention.

plus swap controller (memsw) is currently not supported. Resource counters have been enhanced to support soft limits and new type RES_SOFT_LIMIT has been added. Unlike hard limits, soft limits can be directly set and do not need any reclaim or checks before setting them to a newer value. Kamezawa-San raised a question as to whether soft limit should belong to res_counter. Since all resources understand the basic concepts of hard and soft limits, it is justified to add soft limits here. Soft limits are a generic resource usage feature, even file system quotas support soft limits. Signed-off-by:

similar has existed in the group scheduler in the form of shares. The CPU controllers interpretation of shares is very different though. Soft limits are the most useful feature to have for environments where the administrator wants to overcommit the system, such that only on memory contention do the limits become active. The current soft limits implementation provides a soft_limit_in_bytes interface for the memory controller and not for memory+swap controller. The implementation maintains an RB-Tree of groups that exceed their soft limit and starts reclaiming from the group that exceeds this limit by the maximum amount. This patch: Add documentation for soft limits Signed-off-by:

at once to a cgroup by writing the tgid to the 'cgroup.procs' file. This current implementation makes use of a per-threadgroup rwsem that's taken for reading in the fork() path to prevent newly forking threads within the threadgroup from "escaping" while the move is in progress. Cgroups subsystems that need to perform per-thread actions in their "attach" callback are (currently) responsible for doing their own synchronization, since this occurs outside of the critical section that locks against cloning within a thread group.

Currently, new mode of the attach function can only tell the subsystem about the old cgroup of the threadgroup leader. No subsystem currently needs that information for each thread that's being moved, but if one were to be added (for example, one that counts tasks within a group) this bit would need to be reworked a bit to tell the subsystem the right information.

namespaces reading the tasks or procs file could result in one process seeing results from the other's namespace. Rather than one pidlist for each file in a cgroup, we now keep a list of pidlists keyed by namespace and file type (tasks versus procs) in which entries are placed on demand. Each pidlist has its own lock, and that the pidlists themselves are passed around in the seq_file's private pointer means we don't have to touch the cgroup or its master list except when creating and destroying entries.

The way the seq_file operations are set up is changed so that just the pidlist struct gets passed around as the private data. Interface example: Suppose a multithreaded process has pid 1000 and other threads with ids 1001, 1002, 1003: $ cat tasks 1000 1001 1002 1003 $ cat cgroup.procs 1000 $ Signed-off-by:

reports unique tgids rather than pids, and allows all threads in a threadgroup to be atomically moved to a new cgroup. The subsystem "attach" interface is modified to support attaching whole threadgroups at a time, which could introduce potential problems if any subsystem were to need to access the old cgroup of every thread being moved. The attach interface may need to be revised if this becomes the case. Also added is functionality for read/write locking all CLONE_THREAD fork()ing within a threadgroup, by means of an rwsem that lives in the sighand_struct, for per-threadgroup-ness and also for sharing a cacheline with the sighand's atomic count. This scheme should introduce no extra overhead in the fork path when there's no contention. The final patch reveals potential for a race when forking before a subsystem's attach function is called - one potential solution in case any subsystem has this problem is to hang on to the group's fork mutex through the attach() calls, though no subsystem yet demonstrates need for an extended critical section.

The original commit fixed a pid namespace bug which Ben Blum fixed independently (in the same way, but with different code) as part of a series of patches. I played around with trying to reconcile Ben's patch series with Li's patch, but concluded that it was simpler to just revert Li's, given that Ben's patch series contained essentially the same fix.

least one bound subsystem. The mount option "none" is treated as an explicit request for no bound subsystems. A hierarchy with no subsystems can be useful for plain task tracking, and is also a step towards the support for multiply-bindable subsystems. As part of this change, the hierarchy id is no longer calculated from the bitmask of subsystems in the hierarchy (since this is not guaranteed to be unique) but is allocated via an ida. Reference counts on cgroups from css_set objects are now taken explicitly one per hierarchy, rather than one per subsystem. Example usage: mount -t cgroup -o none,name=foo cgroup /mnt/cgroup Based on the "no-op"/"none" subsystem concept proposed by kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com Signed-off-by:

pointers in a struct css_set uniquely identify the hierarchy->cgroup mappings associated with the css_set; and there's no way to directly identify the associated set of cgroups other than by indirecting through the appropriate subsystem state pointers. This patch removes the need for that assumption by adding a back-pointer from struct cg_cgroup_link object to its associated cgroup; this allows the set of cgroups to be determined by traversing the cg_links list in the struct css_set.

However, the volume also has to have a non-zero journal info block to actually have a journal. In this patch, I refactored the journal detection into a function since the logic is used twice. The journal detection also uses the better logic to determine if there is a journal. Signed-off-by:

whether a volume has a journal or not. The code currently mounts an HFS+ volume read-only by default when a journal is detected. One can force a read/write mount by giving the "force" mount option. The current code has this behavior since there is no support for the HFS+ journal. My problem is that the detection of the journal could be better. The current code tests the attribute bit in the volume header that indicates there is a journal. If that bit is set, the code assumes that there is a journal. Unfortunately, this is not enough to really determine if there is a journal or not. When that bit is set, one must also examine the journal info block field of the volume header. If this field is 0, there is no journal, and the volume can be mounted read/write. This patch: The HFS+ support in the kernel currently will mount an HFS+ volume read-only if the volume header has the attribute bit set that indicates there is a journal. The kernel does this because there is no support for a journalled HFS+ volume. The problem is that this is only half of what needs to be checked to see if there really is a journal. There is also an entry in the volume header that tells you where to find the journal info block. In the kernel version of the kernel, this 4 byte block is labeled reserved. This patch identifies the journal info block in the header. Signed-off-by:

However, if an LVDS display is attached (like in laptop) the active pipe variable is never set. The default value is PIPE_A and can be wrong. Set up the pipe variable during driver initialization after hardware state was read. Also, the detection of the active display (and hence the pipe) is wrong. The pipes are assigned to so called planes. Both pipes are always enabled on my laptop but only one plane is enabled (the plane A for the CRT or the plane B for the LVDS). Change active pipe detection code to take into account a status of the plane assigned to each pipe. The problem is visible in the 8 bpp mode if colors above 15 are used. The first 16 color entries are displayed correctly.
