Re: [PATCH] cgroup_freezer: fix freezing groups with stopped tasks

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

 



Hi,
I'm trying to understand now why I did that change in

2d3cbf8bc (the bug itself was in the if-the-else clause in update_if_frozen , anyway). Well, when I look at this now I think that there is nothing wrong with your patch.
You can try my testcases from 2d3cbf8bc and 0bdba580, but it should be ok.


One thing I am not sure completely of is the following situation. So the group is frozen
with the STOPPED task inside. There are few questions:
* if you send SIGCONT to the task now, will it wake up?
* if yes - will it get *immediately* frozen?
I im going to check it myself, but maybe you can answer faster :).

2d3cbf8b (cgroup_freezer: update_freezer_state() does incorrect state
transitions) removed is_task_frozen_enough and replaced it with a simple
frozen call. This, however, breaks freezing for a group with stopped tasks
because those cannot be frozen and so the group remains in CGROUP_FREEZING
state (update_if_frozen doesn't count stopped tasks) and never reaches
CGROUP_FROZEN.

Let's add is_task_frozen_enough back and use it at the original locations
(update_if_frozen and try_to_freeze_cgroup). Semantically we consider
stopped tasks as frozen enough so we should consider both cases when
testing frozen tasks.

Testcase:
mkdir /dev/freezer
mount -t cgroup -o freezer none /dev/freezer
mkdir /dev/freezer/foo
sleep 1h&
pid=$!
kill -STOP $pid
echo $pid>  /dev/freezer/foo/tasks
echo FROZEN>  /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state
while true
do
         cat /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state
         [ "`cat /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state`" = "FROZEN" ]&&  break
         sleep 1
done
echo OK
