[PATCH v3 4/4] cgroupfs: Support user xattrs

[Daniel Xu]

This patch turns on xattr support for cgroupfs. This is useful for
letting non-root owners of delegated subtrees attach metadata to
cgroups.

One use case is for subtree owners to tell a userspace out of memory
killer to bias away from killing specific subtrees.

Tests:

    [/sys/fs/cgroup]# for i in $(seq 0 130); \
        do setfattr workload.slice -n user.name$i -v wow; done
    setfattr: workload.slice: No space left on device
    setfattr: workload.slice: No space left on device
    setfattr: workload.slice: No space left on device

    [/sys/fs/cgroup]# for i in $(seq 0 130); \
        do setfattr workload.slice --remove user.name$i; done
    setfattr: workload.slice: No such attribute
    setfattr: workload.slice: No such attribute
    setfattr: workload.slice: No such attribute

    [/sys/fs/cgroup]# for i in $(seq 0 130); \
        do setfattr workload.slice -n user.name$i -v wow; done
    setfattr: workload.slice: No space left on device
    setfattr: workload.slice: No space left on device
    setfattr: workload.slice: No space left on device

`seq 0 130` is inclusive, and 131 - 128 = 3, which is the number of
errors we expect to see.

    [/data]# cat testxattr.c
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <sys/xattr.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>

    int main() {
      char name[256];
      char *buf = malloc(64 << 10);
      if (!buf) {
        perror("malloc");
        return 1;
      }

      for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
        snprintf(name, 256, "user.bigone%d", i);
        if (setxattr("/sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice", name, buf,
                     64 << 10, 0)) {
          printf("setxattr failed on iteration=%d\n", i);
          return 1;
        }
      }

      return 0;
    }

    [/data]# ./a.out
    setxattr failed on iteration=2

    [/data]# ./a.out
    setxattr failed on iteration=0

    [/sys/fs/cgroup]# setfattr -x user.bigone0 system.slice/
    [/sys/fs/cgroup]# setfattr -x user.bigone1 system.slice/

    [/data]# ./a.out
    setxattr failed on iteration=2
