[RFC][PATCH 1/2] CGROUP ID and Hierarchy Code

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Thu Nov 27 2008 - 02:06:49 EST


Patches for CGROUP ID and Hierarchy Code.
(based on mmotm Nov/24...I'll update later.)

CGROUP ID is a unique value for each cgroup (struct cgroup)
Hierarchy Code is array of CGROUP ID which contains all ID od ancestors.
and tries to remove cgroup_lock() to walk tree.

This is just an example-level patch but I'm now testing/refleshing this.
Works well with memcg's hierarchy relcaim.
Any comment is welcome.

==
A toy patch for Cgroup ID and hierarchy code.

This patch tries to assing a ID to each cgroup. Attach unique ID to each
cgroup and provides following functions.

- cgroup_lookup(id)
returns cgroup of id.
- cgroup_get_next(id, root, foundid)
returns the next cgroup under "root" by scanning bitmap (not by tree-walk)
- cgroup_is_ancestor(cgroup, root)
returns true if "root" is ancestor of cgroup.

There is several reasons to develop this.

- While trying to implement hierarchy in memory cgroup, we had to
implement "walk under hierarchy" code.
Now it's consists of cgroup_lock and tree up-down code.
But taking "cgroup_lock" in walking tree can cause deadlocks.
cgroup_lock() is too big. Easier way is helpful.

- SwapCgroup uses array of "pointer" to record the owner of swaps.
By ID, we can reduce this to "short" or "int". This means ID is
useful for reducing space consumption by pointer if the access cost
is not problem.
(I hear bio-cgroup will use the same kind of...)

Example) OOM-Killer under hierarchy.
do {
rcu_read_lock();
next = cgroup_get_next(id, root, nextid);
/* check sanity of next here */
/* increment refcnt to "next" */
rcu_read_unlock();
if (!next)
break;
cgroup_scan_tasks(select_bad_process);
} while (1);


Characteristics:
- Each cgroup get new ID when created.
- cgroup ID contains "ID" and "Depth in tree" and hierarchy code.
- hierarchy code is array of IDs of ancestors.

Consideration:
- gang lookup if necessary.
- I'd like to use "(unsigned)short" to cgroup_id for saving space...
- MAX_DEPTH is bad ?
