Heavy restructuring including locking simplification took place to improve the code base and enable implementation of the unified hierarchy, which currently exists behind a __DEVEL__ mount option. The core support is mostly complete but individual controllers need further work. To explain the design and rationales of the the unified hierarchy Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt is added. Another notable change is css (cgroup_subsys_state - what each controller uses to identify and interact with a cgroup) iteration update. This is part of continuing updates on css object lifetime and visibility. cgroup started with reference count draining on removal way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are iterated like normal refcnted objects albeit with some complexities to allow distinguishing the state where they're being deleted. The css iteration update isn't taken advantage of yet but is planned to be used to simplify memcg significantly" * 'for-3.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (77 commits) cgroup: disallow disabled controllers on the default hierarchy cgroup: don't destroy the default root cgroup: disallow debug controller on the default hierarchy cgroup: clean up MAINTAINERS entries cgroup: implement css_tryget() device_cgroup: use css_has_online_children() instead of has_children() cgroup: convert cgroup_has_live_children() into css_has_online_children() cgroup: use CSS_ONLINE instead of CGRP_DEAD cgroup: iterate cgroup_subsys_states directly cgroup: introduce CSS_RELEASED and reduce css iteration fallback window cgroup: move cgroup->serial_nr into cgroup_subsys_state cgroup: link all cgroup_subsys_states in their sibling lists cgroup: move cgroup->sibling and ->children into cgroup_subsys_state cgroup: remove cgroup->parent device_cgroup: remove direct access to cgroup->children memcg: update memcg_has_children() to use css_next_child() memcg: remove tasks/children test from mem_cgroup_force_empty() cgroup: remove css_parent() cgroup: skip refcnting on normal root csses and cgrp_dfl_root self css cgroup: use cgroup->self.refcnt for cgroup refcnting ...
| * memcg: update memcg_has_children() to use css_next_child()Tejun Heo2014-05-161-10/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, memcg_has_children() and mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write() directly test cgroup->children for list emptiness. It's semantically correct in traditional hierarchies as it actually wants to test for any children dead or alive; however, cgroup->children is not a published field and scheduled to go away. This patch moves out .use_hierarchy test out of memcg_has_children() and updates it to use css_next_child() to test whether there exists any children. With .use_hierarchy test moved out, it can also be used by mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write(). A side note: As .use_hierarchy is going away, it doesn't really matter but I'm not sure about how it's used in __memcg_activate_kmem(). The condition tested by memcg_has_children() is mushy when seen from userland as its result is affected by dead csses which aren't visible from userland. I think the rule would be a lot clearer if we have a dedicated "freshly minted" flag which gets cleared when the first task is migrated into it or the first child is created and then gate activation with that. v2: Added comment noting that testing use_hierarchy is the responsibility of the callers of memcg_has_children() as suggested by Michal Hocko.

| * memcg: remove tasks/children test from mem_cgroup_force_empty()Michal Hocko2014-05-161-7/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tejun has correctly pointed out that tasks/children test in mem_cgroup_force_empty is not correct because there is no other locking which preserves this state throughout the rest of the function so both new tasks can join the group or new children groups can be added while somebody is writing to memory.force_empty. A new task would break mem_cgroup_reparent_charges expectation that all failures as described by mem_cgroup_force_empty_list are temporal and there is no way out. The main use case for the knob as described by Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt is to: " The typical use case for this interface is before calling rmdir(). Because rmdir() moves all pages to parent, some out-of-use page caches can be moved to the parent. If you want to avoid that, force_empty will be useful. " This means that reparenting is not really required as rmdir will reparent pages implicitly from the safe context. If we remove it from mem_cgroup_force_empty then we are safe even with existing tasks because the number of reclaim attempts is bounded. Moreover the knob still does what the documentation claims (modulo reparenting which doesn't make any difference) and users might expect. Longterm we want to deprecate the whole knob and put the reparented pages to the tail of parent LRU during cgroup removal. tj: Removed unused variable @cgrp from mem_cgroup_force_empty() Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cgroup in general is moving towards using cgroup_subsys_state as the fundamental structural component and css_parent() was introduced to convert from using cgroup->parent to css->parent. It was quite some time ago and we're moving forward with making css more prominent. This patch drops the trivial wrapper css_parent() and let the users dereference css->parent. While at it, explicitly mark fields of css which are public and immutable. v2: New usage from device_cgroup.c converted.

| * cgroup: rename css_tryget*() to css_tryget_online*()Tejun Heo2014-05-131-22/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection against upping a refcnt which already reached zero. cgroup is planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already reached zero. Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly indicate that they're onliness. I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about on/offline state. Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir() to css_tryget_online_from_dir(). This is pure rename. v2: cgroup_freezer grew new usages of css_tryget(). Update accordingly.

| * cgroup, memcg: implement css->id and convert css_from_id() to use itTejun Heo2014-05-041-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, cgroup->id has been used to identify all the associated csses and css_from_id() takes cgroup ID and returns the matching css by looking up the cgroup and then dereferencing the css associated with it; however, now that the lifetimes of cgroup and css are separate, this is incorrect and breaks on the unified hierarchy when a controller is disabled and enabled back again before the previous instance is released. This patch adds css->id which is a subsystem-unique ID and converts css_from_id() to look up by the new css->id instead. memcg is the only user of css_from_id() and also converted to use css->id instead. For traditional hierarchies, this shouldn't make any functional difference.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, cgroup->id is allocated from 0, which is always assigned to the root cgroup; unfortunately, memcg wants to use ID 0 to indicate invalid IDs and ends up incrementing all IDs by one. It's reasonable to reserve 0 for special purposes. This patch updates cgroup core so that ID 0 is not used and the root cgroups get ID 1. The ID incrementing is removed form memcg.

* | vmscan: memcg: always use swappiness of the reclaimed memcgMichal Hocko2014-06-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Memory reclaim always uses swappiness of the reclaim target memcg (origin of the memory pressure) or vm_swappiness for global memory reclaim. This behavior was consistent (except for difference between global and hard limit reclaim) because swappiness was enforced to be consistent within each memcg hierarchy. After "mm: memcontrol: remove hierarchy restrictions for swappiness and oom_control" each memcg can have its own swappiness independent of hierarchical parents, though, so the consistency guarantee is gone. This can lead to an unexpected behavior. Say that a group is explicitly configured to not swapout by memory.swappiness=0 but its memory gets swapped out anyway when the memory pressure comes from its parent with a It is also unexpected that the knob is meaningless without setting the hard limit which would trigger the reclaim and enforce the swappiness. There are setups where the hard limit is configured higher in the hierarchy by an administrator and children groups are under control of somebody else who is interested in the swapout behavior but not necessarily about the memory limit. From a semantic point of view swappiness is an attribute defining anon vs. file proportional scanning of LRU which is memcg specific (unlike charges which are propagated up the hierarchy) so it should be applied to the particular memcg's LRU regardless where the memory pressure comes from. This patch removes vmscan_swappiness() and stores the swappiness into the scan_control structure. mem_cgroup_swappiness is then used to provide the correct value before shrink_lruvec is called. The global vm_swappiness is used for the root memcg.

* | memcg, slab: simplify synchronization schemeVladimir Davydov2014-06-051-91/+59Star

This one is held during the whole kmem cache creation and destruction paths. We also take it when updating per root cache memcg_caches arrays (see memcg_update_all_caches). As a result, taking it guarantees there will be no changes to any kmem cache (including per memcg). Why do we need something else then? The point is it is private to slab implementation and has some internal dependencies with other mutexes (get_online_cpus). So we just don't want to rely upon it and prefer to introduce additional mutexes instead. - activate_kmem_mutex. Initially it was added to synchronize initializing kmem limit (memcg_activate_kmem). However, since we can grow per root cache memcg_caches arrays only on kmem limit initialization (see memcg_update_all_caches), we also employ it to protect against memcg_caches arrays relocation (e.g. see __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children). - We have a convention not to take slab_mutex in memcontrol.c, but we want to walk over per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists there (e.g. for destroying all memcg caches on offline). So we have per memcg slab_caches_mutex's protecting those lists. The mutexes are taken in the following order: activate_kmem_mutex -> slab_mutex -> memcg::slab_caches_mutex Such a syncrhonization scheme has a number of flaws, for instance: - We can't call kmem_cache_{destroy,shrink} while walking over a memcg::memcg_slab_caches list due to locking order. As a result, in mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches we schedule the memcg_cache_params::destroy work shrinking and destroying the cache. - We don't have a mutex to synchronize per memcg caches destruction between memcg offline (mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches) and root cache destruction (__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children). Currently we just don't bother about it. This patch simplifies it by substituting per memcg slab_caches_mutex's with the global memcg_slab_mutex. It will be held whenever a new per memcg cache is created or destroyed, so it protects per root cache memcg_caches arrays and per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists. The locking order is following: activate_kmem_mutex -> memcg_slab_mutex -> slab_mutex This allows us to call kmem_cache_{create,shrink,destroy} under the memcg_slab_mutex. As a result, we don't need memcg_cache_params::destroy work any more - we can simply destroy caches while iterating over a per memcg slab caches list. Also using the global mutex simplifies synchronization between concurrent per memcg caches creation/destruction, e.g. mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches vs __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children. The downside of this is that we substitute per-memcg slab_caches_mutex's with a hummer-like global mutex, but since we already take either the slab_mutex or the cgroup_mutex along with a memcg::slab_caches_mutex, it shouldn't hurt concurrency a lot.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patchset is a part of preparations for kmemcg re-parenting. It targets at simplifying kmemcg work-flows and synchronization. First, it removes async per memcg cache destruction (see patches 1, 2). Now caches are only destroyed on memcg offline. That means the caches that are not empty on memcg offline will be leaked. However, they are already leaked, because memcg_cache_params::nr_pages normally never drops to 0 so the destruction work is never scheduled except kmem_cache_shrink is called explicitly. In the future I'm planning reaping such dead caches on vmpressure or periodically. Second, it substitutes per memcg slab_caches_mutex's with the global memcg_slab_mutex, which should be taken during the whole per memcg cache creation/destruction path before the slab_mutex (see patch 3). This greatly simplifies synchronization among various per memcg cache creation/destruction paths. I'm still not quite sure about the end picture, in particular I don't know whether we should reap dead memcgs' kmem caches periodically or try to merge them with their parents (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/20/38 for more details), but whichever way we choose, this set looks like a reasonable change to me, because it greatly simplifies kmemcg work-flows and eases further development. This patch (of 3): After a memcg is offlined, we mark its kmem caches that cannot be deleted right now due to pending objects as dead by setting the memcg_cache_params::dead flag, so that memcg_release_pages will schedule cache destruction (memcg_cache_params::destroy) as soon as the last slab of the cache is freed (memcg_cache_params::nr_pages drops to zero). I guess the idea was to destroy the caches as soon as possible, i.e. immediately after freeing the last object. However, it just doesn't work that way, because kmem caches always preserve some pages for the sake of performance, so that nr_pages never gets to zero unless the cache is shrunk explicitly using kmem_cache_shrink. Of course, we could account the total number of objects on the cache or check if all the slabs allocated for the cache are empty on kmem_cache_free and schedule destruction if so, but that would be too costly. Thus we have a piece of code that works only when we explicitly call kmem_cache_shrink, but complicates the whole picture a lot. Moreover, it's racy in fact. For instance, kmem_cache_shrink may free the last slab and thus schedule cache destruction before it finishes checking that the cache is empty, which can lead to use-after-free. So I propose to remove this async cache destruction from memcg_release_pages, and check if the cache is empty explicitly after calling kmem_cache_shrink instead. This will simplify things a lot w/o introducing any functional changes. And regarding dead memcg caches (i.e. those that are left hanging around after memcg offline for they have objects), I suppose we should reap them either periodically or on vmpressure as Glauber suggested initially. I'm going to implement this later.

* | memcg: do not hang on OOM when killed by userspace OOM access to memory reservesMichal Hocko2014-06-051-1/+2

The only way out is to echo 0 > $GROUP/memory.oom_control His usecase is: - Setup a hierarchy with memory and the freezer (disable kernel oom and have a process watch for oom). - In that memory cgroup add a process with one thread per cpu. - In one thread slowly allocate once per second I think it is 16M of ram and mlock and dirty it (just to force the pages into ram and stay there). - When oom is achieved loop: * attempt to freeze all of the tasks. * if frozen send every task SIGKILL, unfreeze, remove the directory in cgroupfs. Eric has then pinpointed the issue to be memcg specific. All tasks are sitting on the memcg_oom_waitq when memcg oom is disabled. Those that have received fatal signal will bypass the charge and should continue on their way out. The tricky part is that the exit path might trigger a page fault (e.g. exit_robust_list), thus the memcg charge, while its memcg is still under OOM because nobody has released any charges yet. Unlike with the in-kernel OOM handler the exiting task doesn't get TIF_MEMDIE set so it doesn't shortcut further charges of the killed task and falls to the memcg OOM again without any way out of it as there are no fatal signals pending anymore. This patch fixes the issue by checking PF_EXITING early in mem_cgroup_try_charge and bypass the charge same as if it had fatal signal pending or TIF_MEMDIE set. Normally exiting tasks (aka not killed) will bypass the charge now but this should be OK as the task is leaving and will release memory and increasing the memory pressure just to release it in a moment seems dubious wasting of cycles. Besides that charges after exit_signals should be rare. I am bringing this patch again (rebased on the current mmotm tree). I hope we can move forward finally. If there is still an opposition then I would really appreciate a concurrent approach so that we can discuss alternatives. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.stable/77650 is a reference to the followup discussion when the patch has been dropped from the mmotm last time.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per-memcg swappiness and oom killing can currently not be tweaked on a memcg that is part of a hierarchy, but not the root of that hierarchy. Users have complained that they can't configure this when they turned on hierarchy mode. In fact, with hierarchy mode becoming the default, this restriction disables the tunables entirely. But there is no good reason for this restriction. The settings for swappiness and OOM killing are taken from whatever memcg whose limit triggered reclaim and OOM invocation, regardless of its position in the hierarchy tree. Allow setting swappiness on any group. The knob on the root memcg already reads the global VM swappiness, make it writable as well. Allow disabling the OOM killer on any non-root memcg.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g. threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator. The page allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages. Apart from looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general allocation path. So let's introduce separate functions that will alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg. The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages. They should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large. They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource counter of the current memory cgroup.

* | sl[au]b: charge slabs to kmemcg explicitlyVladimir Davydov2014-06-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have only a few places where we actually want to charge kmem so instead of intruding into the general page allocation path with __GFP_KMEMCG it's better to explictly charge kmem there. All kmem charges will be easier to follow that way. This is a step towards removing __GFP_KMEMCG. It removes __GFP_KMEMCG from memcg caches' allocflags. Instead it makes slab allocation path call memcg_charge_kmem directly getting memcg to charge from the cache's memcg params. This also eliminates any possibility of misaccounting an allocation going from one memcg's cache to another memcg, because now we always charge slabs against the memcg the cache belongs to. That's why this patch removes the big comment to memcg_kmem_get_cache.

However, as Hugh Dickins notes, "it is truly surprising for a PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK (and probably any other PAGECACHE_TAG_*) to appear on an exceptional entry. I expect it comes down to an occasional race in RCU lookup of the radix_tree: lacking absolute synchronization, we might sometimes catch an exceptional entry, with the tag which really belongs with the unexceptional entry which was there an instant before." And indeed, not only is the tree walk lockless, the tags are also read in chunks, one radix tree node at a time. There is plenty of time for page reclaim to swoop in and replace a page that was already looked up as tagged with a shadow entry. Remove the BUG() and update the comment. While reviewing all other lookup sites for whether they properly deal with shadow entries of evicted pages, update all the comments and fix memcg file charge moving to not miss shmem/tmpfs swapcache pages.

This is wrong, because the root cache will not necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0), kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return. In this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this one: kmem_cache_destroy kmalloc-32:0: Slab cache still has objects CPU: 1 PID: 7139 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G B W 3.13.0+ #117 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x49/0x5b kmem_cache_destroy+0xdf/0xf0 kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children+0x97/0xc0 kmem_cache_destroy+0xf/0xf0 xfs_mru_cache_uninit+0x21/0x30 [xfs] exit_xfs_fs+0x2e/0xc44 [xfs] SyS_delete_module+0x198/0x1f0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a memcg cache - the kernel will panic. This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the check if the cache has aliases. Plus, it forbids destroying a root cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps a reference to its parent.

Naturally, there are places where vfs rules don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is actually necessary, needed to be employed. After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting i_mutexes. - Various simplifications including dropping of module support, easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type handling and task_cg_lists optimization. - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy. Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for anyway. - Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h which brought in slab.h.

| * cgroup: implement cgroup_has_tasks() and unexport cgroup_task_count()Tejun Heo2014-02-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cgroup_task_count() read-locks css_set_lock and walks all tasks to count them and then returns the result. The only thing all the users want is determining whether the cgroup is empty or not. This patch implements cgroup_has_tasks() which tests whether cgroup->cset_links is empty, replaces all cgroup_task_count() usages and unexports it. Note that the test isn't synchronized. This is the same as before. The test has always been racy. This will help planned css_set locking update.

Now that cgroup is on kernfs, we can drop all of it and simply use kernfs_name/path() and friends. Replace cgroup->name and all related code with kernfs name/path constructs. * Reimplement cgroup_name() and cgroup_path() as thin wrappers on top of kernfs counterparts, which involves semantic changes. pr_cont_cgroup_name() and pr_cont_cgroup_path() added. * cgroup->name handling dropped from cgroup_rename(). * All users of cgroup_name/path() updated to the new semantics. Users which were formatting the string just to printk them are converted to use pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() instead, which simplifies things quite a bit. As cgroup_name() no longer requires RCU read lock around it, RCU lockings which were protecting only cgroup_name() are removed. v2: Comment above oom_info_lock updated as suggested by Michal. v3: dummy_top doesn't have a kn associated and pr_cont_cgroup_name/path() ended up calling the matching kernfs functions with NULL kn leading to oops. Test for NULL kn and print "/" if so. This issue was reported by Fengguang Wu. v4: Rebased on top of 0ab02ca8f887 ("cgroup: protect modifications to cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex").

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | css_from_dir() returns the matching css (cgroup_subsys_state) given a dentry and subsystem. The function doesn't pin the css before returning and requires the caller to be holding RCU read lock or cgroup_mutex and handling pinning on the caller side. Given that users of the function are likely to want to pin the returned css (both existing users do) and that getting and putting css's are very cheap, there's no reason for the interface to be tricky like this. Rename css_from_dir() to css_tryget_from_dir() and make it try to pin the found css and return it only if pinning succeeded. The callers are updated so that they no longer do RCU locking and pinning around the function and just use the returned css. This will also ease converting cgroup to kernfs.

Most subsystems use the matching name but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys. cgroup.h is widely included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier indicating that they belong to cgroup. * cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit silly. This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing the followings. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys. * With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts. All non-matching identifiers are renamed to match the official names. cpu_cgroup -> cpu mem_cgroup -> memory perf -> perf_event * controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name. They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot. * Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed. * While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to WARN()s. BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing.

* | memcg: reparent charges of children before processing parentFilipe Brandenburger2014-03-041-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes the cleanup after memcg hierarchy testing gets stuck in mem_cgroup_reparent_charges(), unable to bring non-kmem usage down to 0. There may turn out to be several causes, but a major cause is this: the workitem to offline parent can get run before workitem to offline child; parent's mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() circles around waiting for the child's pages to be reparented to its lrus, but it's holding cgroup_mutex which prevents the child from reaching its mem_cgroup_reparent_charges(). Further testing showed that an ordered workqueue for cgroup_destroy_wq is not always good enough: percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm's call_rcu_sched stage on the way can mess up the order before reaching the workqueue. Instead, when offlining a memcg, call mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() on all its children (and grandchildren, in the correct order) to have their charges reparented first.
