Subject: cgroup: Fix dom_cgrp propagation when enabling threaded mode

A cgroup which is already a threaded domain may be converted into a
threaded cgroup if the prerequisite conditions are met.  When this
happens, all threaded descendant should also have their ->dom_cgrp
updated to the new threaded domain cgroup.  Unfortunately, this
propagation was missing leading to the following failure.

  # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/unified
  # cat cgroup.subtree_control# show that no controllers are enabled

  # mkdir -p mycgrp/a/b/c
  # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/cgroup.type

  At this point, the hierarchy looks as follows:

  mycgrp [d]
  a [dt]
  b [t]
  c [inv]

  Now let's make node "a" threaded (and thus "mycgrp" s made "domain threaded"):

  # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/cgroup.type

  By this point, we now have a hierarchy that looks as follows:

  mycgrp [dt]
  a [t]
  b [t]
  c [inv]

  But, when we try to convert the node "c" from "domain invalid" to
  "threaded", we get ENOTSUP on the write():

  # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/c/cgroup.type
  sh: echo: write error: Operation not supported

This patch fixes the problem by

* Moving the opencoded ->dom_cgrp save and restoration in
  cgroup_enable_threaded() into cgroup_{save|restore}_control() so
  that mulitple cgroups can be handled.
  
* Updating all threaded descendants' ->dom_cgrp to point to the new
  dom_cgrp when enabling threaded mode.

A cgroup which is already a threaded domain may be converted into a
threaded cgroup if the prerequisite conditions are met.  When this
happens, all threaded descendant should also have their ->dom_cgrp
updated to the new threaded domain cgroup.  Unfortunately, this
propagation was missing leading to the following failure.

  # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/unified
  # cat cgroup.subtree_control# show that no controllers are enabled

  # mkdir -p mycgrp/a/b/c
  # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/cgroup.type

  At this point, the hierarchy looks as follows:

  mycgrp [d]
  a [dt]
  b [t]
  c [inv]

  Now let's make node "a" threaded (and thus "mycgrp" s made "domain threaded"):

  # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/cgroup.type

  By this point, we now have a hierarchy that looks as follows:

  mycgrp [dt]
  a [t]
  b [t]
  c [inv]

  But, when we try to convert the node "c" from "domain invalid" to
  "threaded", we get ENOTSUP on the write():

  # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/c/cgroup.type
  sh: echo: write error: Operation not supported

This patch fixes the problem by

* Moving the opencoded ->dom_cgrp save and restoration in

  that mulitple cgroups can be handled.

Re: Cgroup v2 bug: "domain invalid" node can't be converted to "threaded"

Hello, Michael.

Great catch.  Can you please verify whether the following patch fixes
the issue?

Thanks.

-- 8< --
Subject: cgroup: Fix dom_cgrp propagation when enabling threaded mode

A cgroup which is already a threaded domain may be converted into a
threaded cgroup if the prerequisite conditions are met.  When this
happens, all threaded descendant should also have their ->dom_cgrp
updated to the new threaded domain cgroup.  Unfortunately, this
propagation was missing leading to the following failure.

  # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/unified
  # cat cgroup.subtree_control# show that no controllers are enabled

  # mkdir -p mycgrp/a/b/c
  # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/cgroup.type

  At this point, the hierarchy looks as follows:

  mycgrp [d]
  a [dt]
  b [t]
  c [inv]

  Now let's make node "a" threaded (and thus "mycgrp" s made "domain threaded"):

  # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/cgroup.type

  By this point, we now have a hierarchy that looks as follows:

  mycgrp [dt]
  a [t]
  b [t]
  c [inv]

  But, when we try to convert the node "c" from "domain invalid" to
  "threaded", we get ENOTSUP on the write():

  # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/c/cgroup.type
  sh: echo: write error: Operation not supported

This patch fixes the problem by

* Moving the opencoded ->dom_cgrp save and restoration in
  cgroup_enable_threaded() into cgroup_{save|restore}_control() so
  that mulitple cgroups can be handled.
  
* Updating all threaded descendants' ->dom_cgrp to point to the new
  dom_cgrp when enabling threaded mode.

Cgroup v2 bug: "domain invalid" node can't be converted to "threaded"

2018-09-21 Thread Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)
Hello Tejun,

While experimenting with cgroups, we've found what looks to be a bug.
I eventually simplified this to what I think are the minimum steps to
demonstrate the issue.

The following shell session demonstrates the issue:

[Kernel was booted with cgroup_no_v1=all]
# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/unified
# cat cgroup.subtree_control# show that no controllers are enabled

# mkdir -p mycgrp/a/b/c
# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/cgroup.type

At this point, the hierarchy looks as follows:

mycgrp [d]
a [dt]
b [t]
c [inv]

Now let's make node "a" threaded (and thus "mycgrp" s made "domain threaded"):

# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/cgroup.type

By this point, we now have a hierarchy that looks as follows:

mycgrp [dt]
a [t]
b [t]
c [inv]

But, when we try to convert the node "c" from "domain invalid" to
"threaded", we get ENOTSUP on the write():

# echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/c/cgroup.type
sh: echo: write error: Operation not supported

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Michael
