[PATCH v7 3/4] cgroups: allow a cgroup subsystem to reject a fork

From: Aleksa Sarai
Date: Tue Mar 31 2015 - 22:32:45 EST


Add a new cgroup subsystem callback can_fork that conditionally
states whether or not the fork is accepted or rejected by a cgroup
policy.

In addition, add a cancel_fork callback so that if an error occurs later
in the forking process, any state modified by can_fork can be reverted.

In order to ensure that the fork charged the right hierarchy, save the
"current" css_set before doing ss->can_fork and compare it with the
"current" css_set that gets committed to the task *proper* in post_fork.
If they do not match, revert the can_fork's charging of the wrong
hierarchy and forcefully reapply it to the right hierarchy using the
reapply_fork callback. Since a changing "current" css_set in
copy_process indicates an organisation operation took place, we can
break the cgroup policy in this case.

In order for a subsystem to know that a task associated with a cgroup
hierarchy is being migrated to another hierarchy, add a detach callback
to the subsystem which is run after the migration has been confirmed but
before the old_cset's refcount is dropped.

This is in preparation for implementing the pids cgroup subsystem.
