[PATCH 5/6] cgroup: implement cgroup v2 thread support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch implements cgroup v2 thread support.  The goal of the
thread mode is supporting hierarchical accounting and control at
thread granularity while staying inside the resource domain model
which allows coordination across different resource controllers and
handling of anonymous resource consumptions.

A cgroup is always created as a domain and can be made threaded by
writing to the "cgroup.type" file.  When a cgroup becomes threaded, it
becomes a member of a threaded subtree which is anchored at the
closest ancestor which isn't threaded.

The threads of the processes which are in a threaded subtree can be
placed anywhere without being restricted by process granularity or
no-internal-process constraint.  Note that the threads aren't allowed
to escape to a different threaded subtree.  To be used inside a
threaded subtree, a controller should explicitly support threaded mode
and be able to handle internal competition in the way which is
appropriate for the resource.

The root of a threaded subtree, the nearest ancestor which isn't
threaded, is called the threaded domain and serves as the resource
domain for the whole subtree.  This is the last cgroup where domain
controllers are operational and where all the domain-level resource
consumptions in the subtree are accounted.  This allows threaded
controllers to operate at thread granularity when requested while
staying inside the scope of system-level resource distribution.

As the root cgroup is exempt from the no-internal-process constraint,
it can serve as both a threaded domain and a parent to normal cgroups,
so, unlike non-root cgroups, the root cgroup can have both domain and
threaded children.

Internally, in a threaded subtree, each css_set has its ->dom_cset
pointing to a matching css_set which belongs to the threaded domain.
This ensures that thread root level cgroup_subsys_state for all
threaded controllers are readily accessible for domain-level
operations.

This patch enables threaded mode for the pids and perf_events
controllers.  Neither has to worry about domain-level resource
consumptions and it's enough to simply set the flag.

For more details on the interface and behavior of the thread mode,
please refer to the section 2-2-2 in Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt added
by this patch.

v4: - Updated to marking each cgroup threaded as suggested by PeterZ.

v3: - Dropped "join" and always make mixed children join the parent's
      threaded subtree.

v2: - After discussions with Waiman, support for mixed thread mode is
      added.  This should address the issue that Peter pointed out
      where any nesting should be avoided for thread subtrees while
      coexisting with other domain cgroups.

    - Enabling / disabling thread mode now piggy backs on the existing
          control mask update mechanism.

    - Bug fixes and cleanup.

+~~~~~~~
+
+cgroup v2 supports thread granularity for a subset of controllers to
+support use cases requiring hierarchical resource distribution across
+the threads of a group of processes.  By default, all threads of a
+process belong to the same cgroup, which also serves as the resource
+domain to host resource consumptions which are not specific to a
+process or thread.  The thread mode allows threads to be spread across
+a subtree while still maintaining the common resource domain for them.
+
+Controllers which support thread mode are called threaded controllers.
+The ones which don't are called domain controllers.
+
+Marking a cgroup threaded makes it join the resource domain of its
+parent as a threaded cgroup.  The parent may be another threaded
+cgroup whose resource domain is further up in the hierarchy.  The root
+of a threaded subtree, that is, the nearest ancestor which is not
+threaded, is called threaded domain and serves as the resource domain
+for the entire subtree.
+
+Inside a threaded subtree, threads of a process can be put in
+different cgroups and are not subject to the no internal process
+constraint - threaded controllers can be enabled on non-leaf cgroups
+whether they have threads in them or not.
+
+As the threaded domain cgroup hosts all the domain resource
+consumptions of the subtree, it is considered to have internal
+resource consumptions whether there are processes in it or not and
+can't have populated child cgroups which aren't threaded.  Because the
+root cgroup is not subject to no internal process constraint, it can
+serve both as a threaded domain and a parent to domain cgroups.
+
+The current operation mode or type of the cgroup is shown in the
+"cgroup.type" file which indicates whether the cgroup is a normal
+domain, a domain which is serving as the domain of a threaded subtree,
+or a threaded cgroup.
+
+On creation, a cgroup is always a domain cgroup and can be made
+threaded by writing "threaded" to the "cgroup.type" file.  The
+operation is single direction::
+
+  # echo threaded > cgroup.type
+
+Once threaded, the cgroup can't be made a domain again.  To enable the
+thread mode, the following conditions must be met.
+
+- As the cgroup will join the parent's resource domain.  The parent
+  must either be a valid (threaded) domain or a threaded cgroup.
+
+- The cgroup must be empty.  No enabled controllers, child cgroups or
+  processes.
+
+Topology-wise, a cgroup can be in an invalid state.  Please consider
+the following toplogy::
+
+  A (threaded domain) - B (threaded) - C (domain, just created)
+
+C is created as a domain but isn't connected to a parent which can
+host child domains.  C can't be used until it is turned into a
+threaded cgroup.  "cgroup.type" file will report "domain (invalid)" in
+these cases.  Operations which fail due to invalid topology use
+EOPNOTSUPP as the errno.
+
+A domain cgroup is turned into a threaded domain when one of its child
+cgroup becomes threaded or threaded controllers are enabled in the
+"cgroup.subtree_control" file while there are processes in the cgroup.
+A threaded domain reverts to a normal domain when the conditions
+clear.
+
+When read, "cgroup.threads" contains the list of the thread IDs of all
+threads in the cgroup.  Except that the operations are per-thread
+instead of per-process, "cgroup.threads" has the same format and
+behaves the same way as "cgroup.procs".  While "cgroup.threads" can be
+written to in any cgroup, as it can only move threads inside the same
+threaded domain, its operations are confined inside each threaded
+subtree.
+
+The threaded domain cgroup serves as the resource domain for the whole
+subtree, and, while the threads can be scattered across the subtree,
+all the processes are considered to be in the threaded domain cgroup.
+"cgroup.procs" in a threaded domain cgroup contains the PIDs of all
+processes in the subtree and is not readable in the subtree proper.
+However, "cgroup.procs" can be written to from anywhere in the subtree
+to migrate all threads of the matching process to the cgroup.
+
+Only threaded controllers can be enabled in a threaded subtree.  When
+a threaded controller is enabled inside a threaded subtree, it only
+accounts for and controls resource consumptions associated with the
+threads in the cgroup and its descendants.  All consumptions which
+aren't tied to a specific thread belong to the threaded domain cgroup.
+
+Because a threaded subtree is exempt from no internal process
+constraint, a threaded controller must be able to handle competition
+between threads in a non-leaf cgroup and its child cgroups.  Each
+threaded controller defines how such competitions are handled.
