* cgroup: require write perm on common ancestor when moving processes on the ↵Tejun Heo2015-06-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | default hierarchy On traditional hierarchies, if a task has write access to "tasks" or "cgroup.procs" file of a cgroup and its euid agrees with the target, it can move the target to the cgroup; however, consider the following scenario. The owner of each cgroup is in the parentheses. R (root) - 0 (root) - 00 (user1) - 000 (user1) | \ 001 (user1) \ 1 (root) - 10 (user1) The subtrees of 00 and 10 are delegated to user1; however, while both subtrees may belong to the same user, it is clear that the two subtrees are to be isolated - they're under completely separate resource limits imposed by 0 and 1, respectively. Note that 0 and 1 aren't strictly necessary but added to ease illustrating the issue. If user1 is allowed to move processes between the two subtrees, the intention of the hierarchy - keeping a given group of processes under a subtree with certain resource restrictions while delegating management of the subtree - can be circumvented by user1. This happens because migration permission check doesn't consider the hierarchical nature of cgroups. To fix the issue, this patch adds an extra permission requirement when userland tries to migrate a process in the default hierarchy - the issuing task must have write access to the common ancestor of "cgroup.procs" file of the ancestor in addition to the destination's. Conceptually, the issuer must be able to move the target process from the source cgroup to the common ancestor of source and destination cgroups and then to the destination. As long as delegation is done in a proper top-down way, this guarantees that a delegatee can't smuggle processes across disjoint delegation domains. The next patch will add documentation on the delegation model on the default hierarchy. v2: Fixed missing !ret test. Spotted by Li Zefan.

* cgroup: use bitmask to filter for_each_subsysAleksa Sarai2015-06-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new macro for_each_subsys_which that allows all enabled cgroup subsystems to be filtered by a bitmask, such that mask & (1 << ssid) determines if the subsystem is to be processed in the loop body (where ssid is the unique id of the subsystem). Also replace the need_forkexit_callback with two separate bitmasks for each callback to make (ss->{fork,exit}) checks unnecessary. tj: add a short comment for "if (!CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT)".

* cgroup: add seq_file forward declaration for struct cftypeArnd Bergmann2015-05-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent header file changes for cgroup caused lots of warnings about a missing struct seq_file form declaration for every inclusion of include/linux/cgroup-defs.h. As some files are built with -Werror, this leads to build failure like: from /git/arm-soc/drivers/gpu/drm/tilcdc/tilcdc_crtc.c:18: /git/arm-soc/include/linux/cgroup-defs.h:354:25: error: 'struct seq_file' declared inside parameter list [-Werror] cc1: all warnings being treated as errors make[6]: *** [drivers/gpu/drm/tilcdc/tilcdc_crtc.o] Error 1 This patch adds the declaration, which resolves both the warnings and the drm failure. tj: Moved it where other type declarations are.

* sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsemTejun Heo2015-05-261-2/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cgroup side of threadgroup locking uses signal_struct->group_rwsem to synchronize against threadgroup changes. This per-process rwsem adds small overhead to thread creation, exit and exec paths, forces cgroup code paths to do lock-verify-unlock-retry dance in a couple places and makes it impossible to atomically perform operations across multiple processes. This patch replaces signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem which is cheaper on the reader side and contained in cgroups proper. This patch converts one-to-one. This does make writer side heavier and lower the granularity; however, cgroup process migration is a fairly cold path, we do want to optimize thread operations over it and cgroup migration operations don't take enough time for the lower granularity to matter.

* sched, cgroup: reorganize threadgroup lockingTejun Heo2015-05-261-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | threadgroup_change_begin/end() are used to mark the beginning and end of threadgroup modifying operations to allow code paths which require a threadgroup to stay stable across blocking operations to synchronize against those sections using threadgroup_lock/unlock(). It's currently implemented as a general mechanism in sched.h using per-signal_struct rwsem; however, this never grew non-cgroup use cases and becomes noop if !CONFIG_CGROUPS. It turns out that cgroups is gonna be better served with a different sycnrhonization scheme and is a bit silly to keep cgroups specific details as a general mechanism. What's general here is identifying the places where threadgroups are modified. This patch restructures threadgroup locking so that threadgroup_change_begin/end() become a place where subsystems which need to sycnhronize against threadgroup changes can hook into. cgroup_threadgroup_change_begin/end() which operate on the per-signal_struct rwsem are created and threadgroup_lock/unlock() are moved to cgroup.c and made static. This is pure reorganization which doesn't cause any functional changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
* cgroup: separate out include/linux/cgroup-defs.hTejun Heo2015-05-181-0/+464
From 2d728f74bfc071df06773e2fd7577dd5dab6425d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 15:37:01 -0400 This patch separates out cgroup-defs.h from cgroup.h which has grown a lot of dependencies. cgroup-defs.h currently only contains constant and type definitions and can be used to break circular include dependency. While moving, definitions are reordered so that cgroup-defs.h has consistent logical structure. This patch is pure reorganization. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
