[RFC][PATCH 2/4] cgroup ID

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Fri Dec 05 2008 - 03:31:10 EST



From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Patch for Cgroup ID and hierarchy code.

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

- cgroup_lookup(id)
returns struct cgroup of id.
- cgroup_get_next(id, rootid, depth, foundid)
returns the next cgroup under "root" by scanning bitmap (not by tree-walk)
- cgroup_id_put/getref()
used when subsystem want to prevent reuse of ID.

There is several reasons to develop this.

- While trying to implement hierarchy in memory cgroup, we have to
implement "walk under hierarchy" code.
Now it's consists of cgroup_lock and tree up-down code. Because
Because memory cgroup have to do hierarchy walk in other places,
intelligent processing, we'll reuse the "walk" code.
But taking "cgroup_lock" in walking tree can cause deadlocks.
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...)


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.
- ID 0 is UNUSED ID.

Consideration:
- I'd like to use "short" to cgroup_id for saving space...
- MAX_DEPTH is small ? (making this depend on boot option is easy.)
TODO:
- Documentation.

Changelog (v2) -> (v3)
- removed cgroup_id_getref().
- added cgroup_id_tryget().
Changelog (v1) -> (v2):
- Design change: show only ID(integer) to outside of cgroup.c
- moved cgroup ID definition from include/ to kernel/cgroup.c
- struct cgroup_id is freed by RCU.
- changed interface from pointer to "int"
- kill_sb() is handled.
- ID 0 as unused ID.
