It was found that some hotplug operations may cause multiple
rebuild_sched_domains_locked() calls. Some of those intermediate calls
may use cpuset states not in the final correct form leading to incorrect
sched domain setting.
Fix this problem by using the existing force_rebuild flag to inhibit
immediate rebuild_sched_domains_locked() calls if set and only doing
one final call at the end. Also renaming the force_rebuild flag to
force_sd_rebuild to make its meaning for clear.

Commit e2ffe502ba ("cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset.cpus.exclusive for
v2") adds a user writable cpuset.cpus.exclusive file for setting
exclusive CPUs to be used for the creation of partitions. Since then
effective_xcpus depends on both the cpuset.cpus and cpuset.cpus.exclusive
setting. If cpuset.cpus.exclusive is set, effective_xcpus will depend
only on cpuset.cpus.exclusive. When it is not set, effective_xcpus
will be set according to the cpuset.cpus value when the cpuset becomes
a valid partition root.
When cpuset.cpus is being cleared by the user, effective_xcpus should
only be cleared when cpuset.cpus.exclusive is not set. However, that
is not currently the case.
# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/
# mkdir test
# echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
# cd test
# echo 3 > cpuset.cpus.exclusive
# cat cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective

# echo > cpuset.cpus
# cat cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective // was cleared
Fix it by clearing effective_xcpus only if cpuset.cpus.exclusive is
not set.

An UAF can happen when /proc/cpuset is read as reported in [1].
This can be reproduced by the following methods:
1.add an mdelay(1000) before acquiring the cgroup_lock In the
cgroup_path_ns function.
2.$cat /proc/<pid>/cpuset repeatly.
3.$mount -t cgroup -o cpuset cpuset /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/
$umount /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/ repeatly.
The race that cause this bug can be shown as below:
(umount) | (cat /proc/<pid>/cpuset)
css_release | proc_cpuset_show
css_release_work_fn | css = task_get_css(tsk, cpuset_cgrp_id);
css_free_rwork_fn | cgroup_path_ns(css->cgroup, ...);
cgroup_destroy_root | mutex_lock(&cgroup_mutex);
rebind_subsystems |
cgroup_free_root |
| // cgrp was freed, UAF
| cgroup_path_ns_locked(cgrp,..);
When the cpuset is initialized, the root node top_cpuset.css.cgrp
will point to &cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp. In cgroup v1, the mount operation will
allocate cgroup_root, and top_cpuset.css.cgrp will point to the allocated
&cgroup_root.cgrp. When the umount operation is executed,
top_cpuset.css.cgrp will be rebound to &cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp.
The problem is that when rebinding to cgrp_dfl_root, there are cases
where the cgroup_root allocated by setting up the root for cgroup v1
is cached. This could lead to a Use-After-Free (UAF) if it is
subsequently freed. The descendant cgroups of cgroup v1 can only be
freed after the css is released. However, the css of the root will never
be released, yet the cgroup_root should be freed when it is unmounted.
This means that obtaining a reference to the css of the root does
not guarantee that css.cgrp->root will not be freed.
Fix this problem by using rcu_read_lock in proc_cpuset_show().
As cgroup_root is kfree_rcu after commit d23b5c5777
("cgroup: Make operations on the cgroup root_list RCU safe"),
css->cgroup won't be freed during the critical section.
To call cgroup_path_ns_locked, css_set_lock is needed, so it is safe to
replace task_get_css with task_css.

The "cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective" value is currently limited to a
subset of its "cpuset.cpus". This makes the exclusive CPUs distribution
hierarchy subsumed within the larger "cpuset.cpus" hierarchy. We have to
decide on what CPUs are used locally and what CPUs can be passed down as
exclusive CPUs down the hierarchy and combine them into "cpuset.cpus".
The advantage of the current scheme is to have only one hierarchy to
worry about. However, it make it harder to use as all the "cpuset.cpus"
values have to be properly set along the way down to the designated remote
partition root. It also makes it more cumbersome to find out what CPUs
can be used locally.
Make creation of remote partition simpler by breaking the
dependency of "cpuset.cpus.exclusive" on "cpuset.cpus" and make
them independent entities. Now we have two separate hierarchies -
one for setting "cpuset.cpus.effective" and the other one for setting
"cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective". We may not need to set "cpuset.cpus"
when we activate a partition root anymore.
Also update Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst and cpuset.c comment
to document this change.

The CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE flag is currently set whenever cpuset.cpus.exclusive
is set to make sure that the exclusivity test will be run to ensure its
exclusiveness. At the same time, this flag can be changed whenever the
partition root state is changed. For example, the CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE flag
will be reset whenever a partition root becomes invalid. This makes
using CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE to ensure exclusiveness a bit fragile.
The current scheme also makes setting up a cpuset.cpus.exclusive
hierarchy to enable remote partition harder as cpuset.cpus.exclusive
cannot overlap with any cpuset.cpus of sibling cpusets if their
cpuset.cpus.exclusive aren't set.
Solve these issues by deferring the setting of CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE flag
until the cpuset become a valid partition root while adding new checks
in validate_change() to ensure that cpuset.cpus.exclusive of sibling
cpusets cannot overlap.
An additional check is also added to validate_change() to make sure that
cpuset.cpus of one cpuset cannot be a subset of cpuset.cpus.exclusive
of a sibling cpuset to avoid the problem that none of those CPUs will
be available when these exclusive CPUs are extracted out to a newly
enabled partition root. The Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst
file is updated to document the new constraints.

Since commit 181c8e091a ("cgroup/cpuset: Introduce remote partition"),
a remote partition can be created underneath a non-partition root cpuset
as long as its exclusive_cpus are set to distribute exclusive CPUs down
to its children. The generate_sched_domains() function, however, doesn't
take into account this new behavior and hence will fail to create the
sched domain needed for a remote root (non-isolated) partition.
There are two issues related to remote partition support. First of
all, generate_sched_domains() has a fast path that is activated if
root_load_balance is true and top_cpuset.nr_subparts is non-zero. The
later condition isn't quite correct for remote partitions as nr_subparts
just shows the number of local child partitions underneath it. There
can be no local child partition under top_cpuset even if there are
remote partitions further down the hierarchy. Fix that by checking
for subpartitions_cpus which contains exclusive CPUs allocated to both
local and remote partitions.
Secondly, the valid partition check for subtree skipping in the csa[]
generation loop isn't enough as remote partition does not need to
have a partition root parent. Fix this problem by breaking csa[] array
generation loop of generate_sched_domains() into v1 and v2 specific parts
and checking a cpuset's exclusive_cpus before skipping its subtree in
the v2 case.
Also simplify generate_sched_domains() for cgroup v2 as only
non-isolating partition roots should be included in building the cpuset
array and none of the v1 scheduling attributes other than a different
way to create an isolated partition are supported.

In the cpuset_css_online(), clearing the CS_SCHED_LOAD_BALANCE bit
of cs->flags is guarded by callback_lock and cpuset_mutex. There is
no problem with itself, because it is consistent with the description
of there two global lock at the beginning of this file. However, since
the operation of checking, setting and clearing the flag bit is atomic,
protection of callback_lock is unnecessary here, see CS_SPREAD_*. so
to make it more consistent with the other code, move the operation
outside the critical section of callback_lock.

Since commit 3a5a6d0c2b03("cpuset: don't nest cgroup_mutex inside
get_online_cpus()"), cpuset hotplug was done asynchronously via a work
function. This is to avoid recursive locking of cgroup_mutex.
Since then, the cgroup locking scheme has changed quite a bit. A
cpuset_mutex was introduced to protect cpuset specific operations.
The cpuset_mutex is then replaced by a cpuset_rwsem. With commit
d74b27d63a ("cgroup/cpuset: Change cpuset_rwsem and hotplug lock
order"), cpu_hotplug_lock is acquired before cpuset_rwsem. Later on,
cpuset_rwsem is reverted back to cpuset_mutex. All these locking changes
allow the hotplug code to call into cpuset core directly.
The following commits were also merged due to the asynchronous nature
of cpuset hotplug processing.
- commit b22afcdf04 ("cpu/hotplug: Cure the cpusets trainwreck")
- commit 50e7663233 ("sched/cpuset/pm: Fix cpuset vs. suspend-resume
bugs")
- commit 28b89b9e6f ("cpuset: handle race between CPU hotplug and
cpuset_hotplug_work")
Clean up all these bandages by making cpuset hotplug
processing synchronous again with the exception that the call to
cgroup_transfer_tasks() to transfer tasks out of an empty cgroup v1
cpuset, if necessary, will still be done via a work function due to the
existing cgroup_mutex -> cpu_hotplug_lock dependency. It is possible
to reverse that dependency, but that will require updating a number of
different cgroup controllers. This special hotplug code path should be
rarely taken anyway.
As all the cpuset states will be updated by the end of the hotplug
operation, we can revert most the above commits except commit
50e7663233 ("sched/cpuset/pm: Fix cpuset vs. suspend-resume bugs")
which is partially reverted. Also removing some cpus_read_lock trylock
attempts in the cpuset partition code as they are no longer necessary
since the cpu_hotplug_lock is now held for the whole duration of the
cpuset hotplug code path.

Currently, the cpu_is_isolated() function checks only the statically
isolated CPUs specified via the "isolcpus" and "nohz_full" kernel
command line options. This function is used by vmstat and memcg to
reduce interference with isolated CPUs by not doing stat flushing
or scheduling works on those CPUs.
Workloads running on isolated CPUs within isolated cpuset
partitions should receive the same treatment to reduce unnecessary
interference. This patch introduces a new cpuset_cpu_is_isolated()
function to be called by cpu_is_isolated() so that the set of dynamically
created cpuset isolated CPUs will be included in the check.

When a local partition becomes invalid, it won't transition back to
valid partition automatically if a proper "cpuset.cpus.exclusive" or
"cpuset.cpus" change is made. Instead, system administrators have to
explicitly echo "root" or "isolated" into the "cpuset.cpus.partition"
file at the partition root.
This patch now enables the automatic transition of an invalid local
partition back to valid when there is a proper "cpuset.cpus.exclusive"
or "cpuset.cpus" change.
Automatic transition of an invalid remote partition to a valid one,
however, is not covered by this patch. They still need an explicit
write to "cpuset.cpus.partition" to become valid again.
The test_cpuset_prs.sh test script is updated to add new test cases to
test this automatic state transition.

A user can pre-configure certain CPUs in an isolated state at boot time
with the "isolcpus" kernel boot command line option. Those CPUs will
not be in the housekeeping_cpumask(HK_TYPE_DOMAIN) and so will not
be in any sched domains. This may conflict with the partition setup
at runtime. Those boot time isolated CPUs should only be used in an
isolated partition.
This patch adds the necessary check and disallows partition setup if the
check fails.

One can use "cpuset.cpus.partition" to create multiple scheduling domains
or to produce a set of isolated CPUs where load balancing is disabled.
The former use case is less common but the latter one can be frequently
used especially for the Telco use cases like DPDK.
The existing "isolated" partition can be used to produce isolated
CPUs if the applications have full control of a system. However, in a
containerized environment where all the apps are run in a container,
it is hard to distribute out isolated CPUs from the root down given
the unified hierarchy nature of cgroup v2.
The container running on isolated CPUs can be several layers down from
the root. The current partition feature requires that all the ancestors
of a leaf partition root must be parititon roots themselves. This can
be hard to configure.
This patch introduces a new type of partition called remote partition.
A remote partition is a partition whose parent is not a partition root
itself and its CPUs are acquired directly from available CPUs in the
top cpuset through a hierachical distribution of exclusive CPUs down
from it.
By contrast, the existing type of partitions where their parents have
to be valid partition roots are referred to as local partitions as they
have to be clustered around a parent partition root.
Child local partitons can be created under a remote partition, but
a remote partition cannot be created under a local partition. We may
relax this limitation in the future if there are use cases for such
configuration.
Manually writing to the "cpuset.cpus.exclusive" file is not necessary
when creating local partitions. However, writing proper values to
"cpuset.cpus.exclusive" down the cgroup hierarchy before the target
remote partition root is mandatory for the creation of a remote
partition.
The value in "cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective" may change if its
"cpuset.cpus" or its parent's "cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective" changes.

This patch introduces a new writable "cpuset.cpus.exclusive" control
file for v2 which will be added to non-root cpuset enabled cgroups. This new
file enables user to set a smaller list of exclusive CPUs to be used in
the creation of a cpuset partition.
The value written to "cpuset.cpus.exclusive" may not be the effective
value being used for the creation of cpuset partition, the effective
value will show up in "cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective" and it is
subject to the constraint that it must also be a subset of cpus_allowed
and parent's "cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective".
By writing to "cpuset.cpus.exclusive", "cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective"
may be set to a non-empty value even for cgroups that are not valid
partition roots yet.

The creation of a cpuset partition means dedicating a set of exclusive
CPUs to be used by a particular partition only. These exclusive CPUs
will not be used by any cpusets outside of that partition.
To enable more flexibility in creating partitions, we need a way to
distribute exclusive CPUs that can be used in new partitions. Currently,
we have a subparts_cpus cpumask in struct cpuset that tracks only
the exclusive CPUs used by all the sub-partitions underneath a given
cpuset.
This patch reworks the way we do exclusive CPUs tracking. The
subparts_cpus is now renamed to effective_xcpus which tracks the
exclusive CPUs allocated to a partition root including those that are
further distributed down to sub-partitions underneath it. IOW, it also
includes the exclusive CPUs used by the current partition root. Note
that effective_xcpus can contain offline CPUs and it will always be a
subset of cpus_allowed.
The renamed effective_xcpus is now exposed via a new read-only
"cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective" control file. The new effective_xcpus
cpumask should be set to cpus_allowed when a cpuset becomes a partition
root and be cleared if it is not a valid partition root.
In the next patch, we will enable write to another new control file to
enable further control of what can get into effective_xcpus.

Commit a86ce68078 ("cgroup/cpuset: Extract out CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE
& CS_SCHED_LOAD_BALANCE handling") adds a new helper function
update_partition_sd_lb() to update the load balance state of the
cpuset. However the new load balance is determined by just looking at
whether the cpuset is a valid isolated partition root or not. That is
not enough if the cpuset is not a valid partition root but its parent
is in the isolated state (load balance off). Update the function to
set the new state to be the same as its parent in this case like what
has been done in commit c8c926200c ("cgroup/cpuset: Inherit parent's
load balance state in v2").

A single partition setup and tear-down operation can lead to
multiple rebuild_sched_domains_locked() calls which is a waste of
effort. This can partly be mitigated by adding a flag to suppress the
rebuild_sched_domains_locked() call in update_cpumasks_hier(). Since
a Boolean flag has already been passed as the 3rd argument to
update_cpumasks_hier(), we can extend that to a full flag word.
The sched domain rebuild suppression is now enabled in
update_sibling_cpumasks() as all it callers will do the sched domain
rebuild after its return later on anyway.

The limitation that update_parent_subparts_cpumask() can only use
addmask & delmask in the given tmp cpumasks is fragile and may lead to
unexpected error.
Fix this problem by allocating/freeing a struct tmpmasks in
update_cpumask() to avoid reusing the cpumasks in trial_cs.
With this change, we can move the update_tasks_cpumask() for the
parent and update_sibling_cpumasks() for the sibling to inside
update_parent_subparts_cpumask().

Extract out the setting of CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE and CS_SCHED_LOAD_BALANCE
flags as well as the rebuilding of scheduling domains into the new
update_partition_exclusive() and update_partition_sd_lb() helper
functions to simplify the logic. The update_partition_exclusive()
helper is called mainly at the beginning of the caller, but it may be
called at the end too. The update_partition_sd_lb() helper is called
at the end of the caller.
This patch should reduce the chance that cpuset partition will end up
in an incorrect state.

Since commit f28e22441f ("cgroup/cpuset: Add a new isolated
cpus.partition type"), the CS_SCHED_LOAD_BALANCE bit of a v2 cpuset
can be on or off. The child cpusets of a partition root must have the
same setting as its parent or it may screw up the rebuilding of sched
domains. Fix this problem by making sure the a child v2 cpuset will
follows its parent cpuset load balance state unless the child cpuset
is a new partition root itself.

When we migrate a task between two cgroups, one of the checks is a
verification whether we can modify task's scheduler settings
(cap_task_setscheduler()).
An implicit migration occurs also when enabling a controller on the
unified hierarchy (think of parent to child migration). The
aforementioned check may be problematic if the caller of the migration
(enabling a controller) has no permissions over migrated tasks.
For instance, a user's cgroup that ends up running a process of a
different user. Although cgroup permissions are configured favorably,
the enablement fails due to the foreign process [1].
Change the behavior by relaxing the permissions check on the unified
hierarchy when no effective change would happen.
This is in accordance with unified hierarchy attachment behavior when
permissions of the source to target cgroups are decisive whereas the
migrated task is opaque (as opposed to more restrictive check in
__cgroup1_procs_write()).
Notice that foreign task's affinity may still be modified if the user
can modify destination cgroup's cpuset attributes
(update_tasks_cpumask() does no permissions check). The permissions
check could thus be skipped on v2 even when affinity changes. Stay
conservative in this patch though.

cpuset_can_attach() can fail. Postpone DL BW allocation until all tasks
have been checked. DL BW is not allocated per-task but as a sum over
all DL tasks migrating.
If multiple controllers are attached to the cgroup next to the cpuset
controller a non-cpuset can_attach() can fail. In this case free DL BW
in cpuset_cancel_attach().
Finally, update cpuset DL task count (nr_deadline_tasks) only in
cpuset_attach().

Qais reported that iterating over all tasks when rebuilding root domains
for finding out which ones are DEADLINE and need their bandwidth
correctly restored on such root domains can be a costly operation (10+
ms delays on suspend-resume).
To fix the problem keep track of the number of DEADLINE tasks belonging
to each cpuset and then use this information (followup patch) to only
perform the above iteration if DEADLINE tasks are actually present in
the cpuset for which a corresponding root domain is being rebuilt.

Turns out percpu_cpuset_rwsem - commit 1243dc518c ("cgroup/cpuset:
Convert cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem") - wasn't such a brilliant idea,
as it has been reported to cause slowdowns in workloads that need to
change cpuset configuration frequently and it is also not implementing
priority inheritance (which causes troubles with realtime workloads).
Convert percpu_cpuset_rwsem back to regular cpuset_mutex. Also grab it
only for SCHED_DEADLINE tasks (other policies don't care about stable
cpusets anyway).
