Subject: cgroups: alloc_css_id() increments hierarchy depth
From: Greg Thelen <gthelen@xxxxxxxxxx>
Child groups should have a greater depth than their parents. Prior to
this change, the parent would incorrectly report zero memory usage for
child cgroups when use_hierarchy is enabled.
test script:
mount -t cgroup none /cgroups -o memory
cd /cgroups
mkdir cg1
echo 1 > cg1/memory.use_hierarchy
mkdir cg1/cg11
echo $$ > cg1/cg11/tasks
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1
echo
echo CHILD
grep cache cg1/cg11/memory.stat
echo
echo PARENT
grep cache cg1/memory.stat
echo $$ > tasks
rmdir cg1/cg11 cg1
cd /
umount /cgroups
Using fae9c79, a recent patch that changed alloc_css_id() depth computation,
the parent incorrectly reports zero usage:
root@ubuntu:~# ./test
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.0151844 s, 69.1 MB/s
CHILD
cache 1048576
total_cache 1048576
PARENT
cache 0
total_cache 0
With this patch, the parent correctly includes child usage:
root@ubuntu:~# ./test
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.0136827 s, 76.6 MB/s
CHILD
cache 1052672
total_cache 1052672
PARENT
cache 0
total_cache 1052672
