4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e9d81a1bc2c48ea9782e3e8b53875f419766ef47 upstream. CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS implements process-only iteration by making css_task_iter_advance() skip tasks which aren't threadgroup leaders; however, when an iteration is started css_task_iter_start() calls the inner helper function css_task_iter_advance_css_set() instead of css_task_iter_advance(). As the helper doesn't have the skip logic, when the first task to visit is a non-leader thread, it doesn't get skipped correctly as shown in the following example. # ps -L 2030 PID LWP TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 2030 2030 pts/0 Sl+ 0:00 ./test-thread 2030 2031 pts/0 Sl+ 0:00 ./test-thread # mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b # echo threaded > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.type # echo threaded > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b/cgroup.type # echo 2030 > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.procs # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.threads 2030 2031 # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/cgroup.procs 2030 # echo 2030 > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b/cgroup.threads # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/cgroup.procs 2031 2030 The last read of cgroup.procs is incorrectly showing non-leader 2031 in cgroup.procs output. This can be fixed by updating css_task_iter_advance() to handle the first advance and css_task_iters_tart() to call css_task_iter_advance() instead of the inner helper. After the fix, the same commands result in the following (correct) result: # ps -L 2062 PID LWP TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 2062 2062 pts/0 Sl+ 0:00 ./test-thread 2062 2063 pts/0 Sl+ 0:00 ./test-thread # mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b # echo threaded > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.type # echo threaded > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b/cgroup.type # echo 2062 > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.procs # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/cgroup.threads 2062 2063 # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/cgroup.procs 2062 # echo 2062 > /sys/fs/cgroup/x/a/b/cgroup.threads # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/x/cgroup.procs 2062 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: "Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)" <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx> Fixes: 8cfd8147df67 ("cgroup: implement cgroup v2 thread support") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v4.14+ Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c | 33 +++++++++++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) --- a/kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c +++ b/kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c @@ -4080,20 +4080,25 @@ static void css_task_iter_advance(struct lockdep_assert_held(&css_set_lock); repeat: - /* - * Advance iterator to find next entry. cset->tasks is consumed - * first and then ->mg_tasks.
