      devcg: propagate local changes down the hierarchy · bd2953eb
      Aristeu Rozanski authored
      This patch makes exception changes to propagate down in hierarchy respecting
      when possible local exceptions.
      
      New exceptions allowing additional access to devices won't be propagated, but
      it'll be possible to add an exception to access all of part of the newly
      allowed device(s).
      
      New exceptions disallowing access to devices will be propagated down and the
      local group's exceptions will be revalidated for the new situation.
      Example:
            A
           / \
              B
      
          group        behavior          exceptions
          A            allow             "b 8:* rwm", "c 116:1 rw"
          B            deny              "c 1:3 rwm", "c 116:2 rwm", "b 3:* rwm"
      
      If a new exception is added to group A:
      	# echo "c 116:* r" > A/devices.deny
      it'll propagate down and after revalidating B's local exceptions, the exception
      "c 116:2 rwm" will be removed.
      
      In case parent's exceptions change and local exceptions are not allowed anymore,
      they'll be deleted.
      
      v7:
      - do not allow behavior change when the cgroup has children
      - update documentation
      
      v6: fixed issues pointed by Serge Hallyn
      - only copy parent's exceptions while propagating behavior if the local
        behavior is different
      - while propagating exceptions, do not clear and copy parent's: it'd be against
        the premise we don't propagate access to more devices
      
      v5: fixed issues pointed by Serge Hallyn
      - updated documentation
      - not propagating when an exception is written to devices.allow
      - when propagating a new behavior, clean the local exceptions list if they're
        for a different behavior
      
      v4: fixed issues pointed by Tejun Heo
      - separated function to walk the tree and collect valid propagation targets
      
      v3: fixed issues pointed by Tejun Heo
      - update documentation
      - move css_online/css_offline changes to a new patch
      - use cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() instead of own descendant walk
      - move exception_copy rework to a separared patch
      - move exception_clean rework to a separated patch
      
      v2: fixed issues pointed by Tejun Heo
      - instead of keeping the local settings that won't apply anymore, remove them

      devcg: use css_online and css_offline · 1909554c
      Aristeu Rozanski authored
      Allocate resources and change behavior only when online. This is needed in
      order to determine if a node is suitable for hierarchy propagation or if it's
      being removed.
      
      Locking:
      Both functions take devcgroup_mutex to make changes to device_cgroup structure.
      Hierarchy propagation will also take devcgroup_mutex before walking the
      tree while walking the tree itself is protected by rcu lock.

      devcg: prepare may_access() for hierarchy support · c39a2a30
      Aristeu Rozanski authored
      Currently may_access() is only able to verify if an exception is valid for the
      current cgroup, which has the same behavior. With hierarchy, it'll be also used
      to verify if a cgroup local exception is valid towards its cgroup parent, which
      might have different behavior.
      
      v2:
      - updated patch description
      - rebased on top of a new patch to expand the may_access() logic to make it
        more clear
      - fixed argument description order in may_access()

      cgroup: fix an off-by-one bug which may trigger BUG_ON() · 3ac1707a
      Li Zefan authored
      The 3rd parameter of flex_array_prealloc() is the number of elements,
      not the index of the last element.
      
      The effect of the bug is, when opening cgroup.procs, a flex array will
      be allocated and all elements of the array is allocated with
      GFP_KERNEL flag, but the last one is GFP_ATOMIC, and if we fail to
      allocate memory for it, it'll trigger a BUG_ON().

      cgroup: no need to check css refs for release notification · f50daa70
      Li Zefan authored
      We no longer fail rmdir() when there're still css refs, so we don't
      need to check css refs in check_for_release().
      
      This also voids a bug. cgroup_has_css_refs() accesses subsys[i]
      without cgroup_mutex, so it can race with cgroup_unload_subsys().
      
      cgroup_has_css_refs()
      ...
        if (ss == NULL || ss->root != cgrp->root)
      
      if ss pointers to net_cls_subsys, and cls_cgroup module is unloaded
      right after the former check but before the latter, the memory that
      net_cls_subsys resides has become invalid.

      cgroup: fix cgroup_path() vs rename() race · 65dff759
      Li Zefan authored
      rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can
      be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access
      a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold
      a longer name.
      
      As accessing dentry->name must be protected by dentry->d_lock or
      parent inode's i_mutex, while on the other hand cgroup-path() can
      be called with some irq-safe spinlocks held, we can't generate
      cgroup path using dentry->d_name.
      
      Alternatively we make a copy of dentry->d_name and save it in
      cgrp->name when a cgroup is created, and update cgrp->name at
      rename().
      
      v5: use flexible array instead of zero-size array.
      v4: - allocate root_cgroup_name and all root_cgroup->name points to it.
          - add cgroup_name() wrapper.
      v3: use kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu() in user-visible path.
      v2: make cgrp->name RCU safe.
