git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: - a new jpeg codec driver for Samsung Exynos (jpeg-hw-exynos4) - a new dvb frontend for ds2103 chipset (m88ds2103) - a new sensor driver for Samsung S5K5BAF UXGA (s5k5baf) - new drivers for R-Car VSP1 - a new radio driver: radio-raremono - a new tuner driver for ts2022 chipset (m88ts2022) - the analog part of em28xx is now a separate module that only load/runs if the device is not a pure digital TV device - added a staging driver for bcm2048 radio devices - the omap 2 video driver (omap24xx) was moved to staging. This driver is for an old hardware and uses a deprecated Kernel internal API. If nobody cares enough to fix it, it would be removed on a couple Kernel releases - the sn9c102 driver was moved to staging. This driver was replaced by gspca, and disabled on some distros, as almost all devices are known to work properly with gspca. It should be removed from kernel on a couple Kernel releases - lots of driver fixes, improvements and cleanups * 'v4l_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (421 commits) [media] media: v4l2-dev: fix video device index assignment [media] rc-core: reuse device numbers [media] em28xx-cards: properly initialize the device bitmap [media] Staging: media: Fix line length exceeding 80 characters in as102_drv.c [media] Staging: media: Fix line length exceeding 80 characters in as102_fe.c [media] Staging: media: Fix quoted string split across line in as102_fe.c [media] media: st-rc: Add reset support [media] m2m-deinterlace: fix allocated struct type [media] radio-usb-si4713: fix sparse non static symbol warnings [media] em28xx-audio: remove needless check before usb_free_coherent() [media] au0828: Fix sparse non static symbol warning Revert "[media] go7007-usb: only use go->dev after allocated" [media] em28xx-audio: provide an error code when URB submit fails [media] em28xx: fix check for audio only usb interfaces when changing the usb alternate setting [media] em28xx: fix usb alternate setting for analog and digital video endpoints > 0 [media] em28xx: make 'em28xx_ctrl_ops' static em28xx-alsa: Fix error patch for init/fini [media] em28xx-audio: flush work at .fini [media] drxk: remove the option to load firmware asynchronously [media] em28xx: adjust period size at runtime ...

2014-01-03netfilter: x_tables: lightweight process control group matchingDaniel Borkmann
It would be useful e.g. in a server or desktop environment to have a facility in the notion of fine-grained "per application" or "per application group" firewall policies. Probably, users in the mobile, embedded area (e.g. Android based) with different security policy requirements for application groups could have great benefit from that as well. For example, with a little bit of configuration effort, an admin could whitelist well-known applications, and thus block otherwise unwanted "hard-to-track" applications like [1] from a user's machine. Blocking is just one example, but it is not limited to that, meaning we can have much different scenarios/policies that netfilter allows us than just blocking, e.g. fine grained settings where applications are allowed to connect/send traffic to, application traffic marking/conntracking, application-specific packet mangling, and so on. Implementation of PID-based matching would not be appropriate as they frequently change, and child tracking would make that even more complex and ugly. Cgroups would be a perfect candidate for accomplishing that as they associate a set of tasks with a set of parameters for one or more subsystems, in our case the netfilter subsystem, which, of course, can be combined with other cgroup subsystems into something more complex if needed. As mentioned, to overcome this constraint, such processes could be placed into one or multiple cgroups where different fine-grained rules can be defined depending on the application scenario, while e.g. everything else that is not part of that could be dropped (or vice versa), thus making life harder for unwanted processes to communicate to the outside world. So, we make use of cgroups here to track jobs and limit their resources in terms of iptables policies; in other words, limiting, tracking, etc what they are allowed to communicate. In our case we're working on outgoing traffic based on which local socket that originated from. Also, one doesn't even need to have an a-prio knowledge of the application internals regarding their particular use of ports or protocols. Matching is *extremly* lightweight as we just test for the sk_classid marker of sockets, originating from net_cls. net_cls and netfilter do not contradict each other; in fact, each construct can live as standalone or they can be used in combination with each other, which is perfectly fine, plus it serves Tejun's requirement to not introduce a new cgroups subsystem. Through this, we result in a very minimal and efficient module, and don't add anything except netfilter code. One possible, minimal usage example (many other iptables options can be applied obviously): 1) Configuring cgroups if not already done, e.g.: mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls mount -t cgroup -o net_cls net_cls /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0 echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/net_cls.classid (resp. a real flow handle id for tc) 2) Configuring netfilter (iptables-nftables), e.g.: iptables -A OUTPUT -m cgroup ! --cgroup 1 -j DROP 3) Running applications, e.g.: ping 208.67.222.222 <pid:1799> echo 1799 > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/tasks 64 bytes from 208.67.222.222: icmp_seq=44 ttl=49 time=11.9 ms [...] ping 208.67.220.220 <pid:1804> ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted [...] echo 1804 > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/tasks 64 bytes from 208.67.220.220: icmp_seq=89 ttl=56 time=19.0 ms [...] Of course, real-world deployments would make use of cgroups user space toolsuite, or own custom policy daemons dynamically moving applications from/to various cgroups.

Merge v3.12 based patch series to move cgroup_event implementation to memcg into for-3.14. The following two commits cause a conflict in kernel/cgroup.c 2ff2a7d03bbe4 ("cgroup: kill css_id") 79bd9814e5ec9 ("cgroup, memcg: move cgroup_event implementation to memcg") Each patch removes a struct definition from kernel/cgroup.c.

2013-11-13memcg: support hierarchical memory.numa_statsYing Han
The memory.numa_stat file was not hierarchical. Memory charged to the children was not shown in parent's numa_stat. This change adds the "hierarchical_" stats to the existing stats. The new hierarchical stats include the sum of all children's values in addition to the value of the memcg. Tested: Create cgroup a, a/b and run workload under b. The values of b are included in the "hierarchical_*" under a. $ cd /sys/fs/cgroup $ echo 1 > memory.use_hierarchy $ mkdir a a/b Run workload in a/b: $ (echo $BASHPID >> a/b/cgroup.procs && cat /some/file && bash) & The hierarchical_ fields in parent (a) show use of workload in a/b: $ cat a/memory.numa_stat total=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 file=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 anon=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 unevictable=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 hierarchical_total=908 N0=552 N1=317 N2=39 N3=0 hierarchical_file=850 N0=549 N1=301 N2=0 N3=0 hierarchical_anon=58 N0=3 N1=16 N2=39 N3=0 hierarchical_unevictable=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 $ cat a/b/memory.numa_stat total=908 N0=552 N1=317 N2=39 N3=0 file=850 N0=549 N1=301 N2=0 N3=0 anon=58 N0=3 N1=16 N2=39 N3=0 unevictable=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 hierarchical_total=908 N0=552 N1=317 N2=39 N3=0 hierarchical_file=850 N0=549 N1=301 N2=0 N3=0 hierarchical_anon=58 N0=3 N1=16 N2=39 N3=0 hierarchical_unevictable=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 Signed-off-by: Ying Han <yinghan@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-05-14blk-throttle: implement proper hierarchy supportTejun Heo
With the recent updates, blk-throttle is finally ready for proper hierarchy support. Dispatching now honors service_queue->parent_sq and propagates correctly. The only thing missing is setting ->parent_sq correctly so that throtl_grp hierarchy matches the cgroup hierarchy. This patch updates throtl_pd_init() such that service_queues form the same hierarchy as the cgroup hierarchy if sane_behavior is enabled. As this concludes proper hierarchy support for blkcg, the shameful .broken_hierarchy tag is removed from blkio_subsys. v2: Updated blkio-controller.txt as suggested by Vivek.

As indicated by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately, cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled implicitly along with unified hierarchy. The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm), which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without introducing a full separate set of control knobs. This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that it's supportable in the long term. Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able to drop it in a decade.

2013-04-29memcg: add memory.pressure_level eventsAnton Vorontsov
With this patch userland applications that want to maintain the interactivity/memory allocation cost can use the pressure level notifications. The levels are defined like this: The "low" level means that the system is reclaiming memory for new allocations. Monitoring this reclaiming activity might be useful for maintaining cache level. Upon notification, the program (typically "Activity Manager") might analyze vmstat and act in advance (i.e. prematurely shutdown unimportant services). The "medium" level means that the system is experiencing medium memory pressure, the system might be making swap, paging out active file caches, etc. Upon this event applications may decide to further analyze vmstat/zoneinfo/memcg or internal memory usage statistics and free any resources that can be easily reconstructed or re-read from a disk. The "critical" level means that the system is actively thrashing, it is about to out of memory (OOM) or even the in-kernel OOM killer is on its way to trigger. Applications should do whatever they can to help the system. It might be too late to consult with vmstat or any other statistics, so it's advisable to take an immediate action. The events are propagated upward until the event is handled, i.e. the events are not pass-through. Here is what this means: for example you have three cgroups: A->B->C. Now you set up an event listener on cgroups A, B and C, and suppose group C experiences some pressure. In this situation, only group C will receive the notification, i.e. groups A and B will not receive it. This is done to avoid excessive "broadcasting" of messages, which disturbs the system and which is especially bad if we are low on memory or thrashing. So, organize the cgroups wisely, or propagate the events manually (or, ask us to implement the pass-through events, explaining why would you need them.) Performance wise, the memory pressure notifications feature itself is lightweight and does not require much of bookkeeping, in contrast to the rest of memcg features. Unfortunately, as of current memcg implementation, pages accounting is an inseparable part and cannot be turned off. The good news is that there are some efforts[1] to improve the situation; plus, implementing the same, fully API-compatible[2] interface for CONFIG_MEMCG=n case (e.g. embedded) is also a viable option, so it will not require any changes on the userland side.

2013-03-20devcg: propagate local changes down the hierarchyAristeu Rozanski
This patch makes exception changes to propagate down in hierarchy respecting when possible local exceptions. New exceptions allowing additional access to devices won't be propagated, but it'll be possible to add an exception to access all of part of the newly allowed device(s). New exceptions disallowing access to devices will be propagated down and the local group's exceptions will be revalidated for the new situation. Example: A / \ B group behavior exceptions A allow "b 8:* rwm", "c 116:1 rw" B deny "c 1:3 rwm", "c 116:2 rwm", "b 3:* rwm" If a new exception is added to group A: # echo "c 116:* r" > A/devices.deny it'll propagate down and after revalidating B's local exceptions, the exception "c 116:2 rwm" will be removed. In case parent's exceptions change and local exceptions are not allowed anymore, they'll be deleted. v7: - do not allow behavior change when the cgroup has children - update documentation v6: fixed issues pointed by Serge Hallyn - only copy parent's exceptions while propagating behavior if the local behavior is different - while propagating exceptions, do not clear and copy parent's: it'd be against the premise we don't propagate access to more devices v5: fixed issues pointed by Serge Hallyn - updated documentation - not propagating when an exception is written to devices.allow - when propagating a new behavior, clean the local exceptions list if they're for a different behavior v4: fixed issues pointed by Tejun Heo - separated function to walk the tree and collect valid propagation targets v3: fixed issues pointed by Tejun Heo - update documentation - move css_online/css_offline changes to a new patch - use cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() instead of own descendant walk - move exception_copy rework to a separared patch - move exception_clean rework to a separated patch v2: fixed issues pointed by Tejun Heo - instead of keeping the local settings that won't apply anymore, remove them Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Aristeu Rozanski <aris@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2013-01-09cfq-iosched: enable full blkcg hierarchy supportTejun Heo
With the previous two patches, all cfqg scheduling decisions are based on vfraction and ready for hierarchy support. The only thing which keeps the behavior flat is cfqg_flat_parent() which makes vfraction calculation consider all non-root cfqgs children of the root cfqg. Replace it with cfqg_parent() which returns the real parent. This enables full blkcg hierarchy support for cfq-iosched. For example, consider the following hierarchy. root / \ A:500 B:250 / \ AA:500 AB:1000 For simplicity, let's say all the leaf nodes have active tasks and are on service tree. For each leaf node, vfraction would be AA: (500 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.2222 AB: (1000 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.4444 B: (250 / 750) =~ 0.3333 and vdisktime will be distributed accordingly. For more detail, please refer to Documentation/block/cfq-iosched.txt. v2: cfq-iosched.txt updated to describe group scheduling as suggested by Vivek. v3: blkio-controller.txt updated.

It is useful to know how many charges are still left after a call to res_counter_uncharge. While it is possible to issue a res_counter_read after uncharge, this can be racy. If we need, for instance, to take some action when the counters drop down to 0, only one of the callers should see it. This is the same semantics as the atomic variables in the kernel. Since the current return value is void, we don't need to worry about anything breaking due to this change: nobody relied on that, and only users appearing from now on will be checking this value.

2012-11-16memcg: oom: fix totalpages calculation for memory.swappiness==0Michal Hocko
oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it). This is usually correct but since fe35004fbf9e ("mm: avoid swapping out with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj). A wrong process might be selected as result. The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0 and not considering swap at all in such a case.

2012-11-09cgroup_freezer: implement proper hierarchy supportTejun Heo
Up until now, cgroup_freezer didn't implement hierarchy properly. cgroups could be arranged in hierarchy but it didn't make any difference in how each cgroup_freezer behaved. They all operated separately. This patch implements proper hierarchy support. If a cgroup is frozen, all its descendants are frozen. A cgroup is thawed iff it and all its ancestors are THAWED. freezer.self_freezing shows the current freezing state for the cgroup itself. freezer.parent_freezing shows whether the cgroup is freezing because any of its ancestors is freezing. freezer_post_create() locks the parent and new cgroup and inherits the parent's state and freezer_change_state() applies new state top-down using cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() which guarantees that no child can escape its parent's state. update_if_frozen() uses cgroup_for_each_descendant_post() to propagate frozen states bottom-up. Synchronization could be coarser and easier by using a single mutex to protect all hierarchy operations. Finer grained approach was used because it wasn't too difficult for cgroup_freezer and I think it's beneficial to have an example implementation and cgroup_freezer is rather simple and can serve a good one. As this makes cgroup_freezer properly hierarchical, freezer_subsys.broken_hierarchy marking is removed. Note that this patch changes userland visible behavior - freezing a cgroup now freezes all its descendants too. This behavior change is intended and has been warned via .broken_hierarchy. v2: Michal spotted a bug in freezer_change_state() - descendants were inheriting from the wrong ancestor. Fixed. v3: Documentation/cgroups/freezer-subsystem.txt updated. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz>
