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.

sighand's atomic count, to piggyback on its cacheline), and two functions in kernel/cgroup.c (for now) for easily+safely obtaining and releasing it. If another part of the kernel later wants to use such a locking mechanism, the CONFIG_CGROUPS ifdefs should be changed to a higher-up flag that CGROUPS and the other system would both depend on, and the lock/unlock functions could be moved to sched.c or so.

a whole threadgroup at a time, for use in cgroup_attach_proc. (This is a pre-patch to cgroup-procs-writable.patch.) 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.

This is a prepatch for making the procs file writable. In order to free the old css_sets for each task to be moved as they're being moved, the freeing mechanism must be RCU-protected, or else we would have to have a call to synchronize_rcu() for each task before freeing its old css_set.

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.

pidlist for the tasks file. Those are now separated into a new struct cgroup_pidlist, of which two are had, one for procs and one for tasks. 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. This patch: Revert commit 096b7fe0 Author: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> AuthorDate: Wed Jul 29 15:04:04 2009 -0700 Commit: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> CommitDate: Wed Jul 29 19:10:35 2009 -0700 cgroups: fix pid namespace bug This is in preparation for some clashing cgroups changes that subsume the original commit's functionaliy. 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.

"force" mount option) if it detects that the HFS+ volume has a journal. The code was unconditionally assuming that the volume had a jounal if the journal attribute was set in the volume header. 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:

minix_dir_entry is used without checking first to see if the dirent is really a minix3_dir_entry. The inode number in a V1/V2 dirent is 16 bits, whereas that in a V3 dirent is 32 bits. Accessing it as a 16 bit field when it really should be accessed as a 32 bit field probably kinda sorta works on a little-endian machine, but leads to some rather odd behaviour on big-endian machines.

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.

An early initialization of viafbinfo1->fix.smem* was removed as done later in viafb_setup_fixinfo. This patch highlights that the only usage of the ioremapped video memory in the driver is for hardware cursor handling. Even if it has to hold the used virtual screen mapped for old-fashioned read/write calls (vs. mmap'ed) a lot virtual memory could be saved by only ioremapping on demand.
