If valid "parent" is passed to proc_create/remove_proc_entry(), then name of
PDE should consist of only one path component, otherwise creation or or
removal will fail. However, if NULL is passed as parent then create/remove
accept full path as a argument. This is arbitrary restriction -- all

proc_subdir_lock protects only modifying and walking through PDE lists, so
after we've found PDE to remove and actually removed it from lists, there is
no need to hold proc_subdir_lock for the rest of operation.

procfs: mem permission cleanup
This cleans up the permission checks done for /proc/PID/mem i/o calls. It
puts all the logic in a new function, check_mem_permission().
The old code repeated the (!MAY_PTRACE(task) || !ptrace_may_attach(task))
magical expression multiple times. The new function does all that work in one
place, with clear comments.
The old code called security_ptrace() twice on successful checks, once in

and only if all other checks have succeeded.

procfs task exe symlink
The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from
the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and
reported as the result.
Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems.
This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of
walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a
reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct.
That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file
from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number
of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is
unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

On large systems we'd like to allow a larger number of message queues. In
some cases up to 32K. However simply setting MSGMNI to a larger value may
cause problems for smaller systems.
The first patch of this series introduces a default maximum number of message
queue ids that scales with the amount of lowmem.
Since msgmni is per namespace and there is no amount of memory dedicated to
each namespace so far, the second patch of this series scales msgmni to the
number of ipc namespaces too.
Since msgmni depends on the amount of memory, it becomes necessary to
recompute it upon memory add/remove. In the 4th patch, memory hotplug
management is added: a notifier block is registered into the memory hotplug
notifier chain for the ipc subsystem. Since the ipc namespaces are not linked
together, they have their own notification chain: one notifier_block is
defined per ipc namespace. Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it
registers (unregisters) its notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The
callback routine registered in the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier
chain with the IPCNS_MEMCHANGE event. Each callback routine registered in the
ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes msgmni for the owning namespace.
The 5th patch makes it possible to keep the memory hotplug notifier chain's
lock for a lesser amount of time: instead of directly notifying the ipcns
notifier chain upon memory add/remove, a work item is added to the global
workqueue. When activated, this work item is the one who notifies the ipcns
notifier chain.
Since msgmni depends on the number of ipc namespaces, it becomes necessary to
recompute it upon ipc namespace creation / removal. The 6th patch uses the
ipc namespace notifier chain for that purpose: that chain is notified each
time an ipc namespace is created or removed. This makes it possible to
recompute msgmni for all the namespaces each time one of them is created or
removed.
When msgmni is explicitely set from userspace, we should avoid recomputing it
upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal. This is what the 7th patch
does: it simply unregisters the ipcns callback routine as soon as msgmni has
been changed from procfs or sysctl().
Even if msgmni is set by hand, it should be possible to make it back
automatically recomputed upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal.
This what is achieved in patch 8: if set to a negative value, msgmni is added
back to the ipcns notifier chain, making it automatically recomputed again.
This patch:
Compute msg_ctlmni to make it scale with the amount of lowmem. msg_ctlmni is
now set to make the message queues occupy 1/32 of the available lowmem.
Some cleaning has also been done for the MSGPOOL constant: the msgctl man page
says it's not used, but it also defines it as a size in bytes (the code
expresses it in Kbytes).

cpu_hotplug_begin() must be always called under cpu_add_remove_lock, this
means that only one process can be cpu_hotplug.active_writer. So we don't
need the cpu_hotplug.writer_queue, we can wake up the ->active_writer
directly.
workqueues: shrink cpu_populated_map when CPU dies
When cpu_populated_map was introduced, it was supposed that cwq->thread can
survive after CPU_DEAD, that is why we never shrink cpu_populated_map.
This is not very nice, we can safely remove the already dead CPU from the map.
The only required change is that destroy_workqueue() must hold the hotplug
lock until it destroys all cwq->thread's, to protect the cpu_populated_map.
We could make the local copy of cpu mask and drop the lock, but
sizeof(cpumask_t) may be very large.
Also, fix the comment near queue_work(). Unless _cpu_down() happens we do
guarantee the cpu-affinity of the work_struct, and we have users which rely on
this.

memcgroup: move memory controller allocations to their own slabs
Move the memory controller data structure page_cgroup to its own slab cache.
It saves space on the system, allocations are not necessarily pushed to order
of 2 and should provide performance benefits. Users who disable the memory
controller can also double check that the memory controller is not allocating
page_cgroup's.
NOTE: Hugh Dickins brought up the issue of whether we want to mark page_cgroup
as __GFP_MOVABLE or __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. I don't think there is an easy answer
at the moment. page_cgroup's are associated with user pages, they can be
reclaimed once the user page has been reclaimed, so it might make sense to
mark them as __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. For now, I am leaving the marking to default
values that the slab allocator uses.

Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.
This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined. It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.
A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.
This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes. The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.
I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.
This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.
After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

cgroups: use a hash table for css_set finding
When we attach a process to a different cgroup, the css_set linked-list will
be run through to find a suitable existing css_set to use. This patch
implements a hash table for better performance.
The following benchmarks have been tested:
For N in 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, create N cgroups with one sleeping
task in each, and then move an additional task through each cgroup in
turn.
Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions on device
files. A device cgroup associates a device access whitelist with each cgroup.
A whitelist entry has 4 fields. 'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block).
'all' means it applies to all types and all major and minor numbers. Major
and minor are either an integer or * for all. Access is a composition of r
(read), w (write), and m (mknod).
The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'. A child devcg gets a copy of
the parent. Admins can then remove devices from the whitelist or add new
entries. A child cgroup can never receive a device access which is denied its
parent. However when a device access is removed from a parent it will not
also be removed from the child(ren).
An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using
devices.deny. For instance
echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow
allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as
/dev/null. Doing
echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny
will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to change permissions or move another task to a new
cgroup. A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's parent
has. Any task can move itself between cgroups. This won't be sufficient, but
we can decide the best way to adequately restrict movement later.
