[PATCH] cgroup: alloc_css_id() increments hierarchy depth

From: Greg Thelen
Date: Fri May 28 2010 - 11:20:10 EST


Child groups should have a greater depth than their parents.
Prior to this change, the parent would incorrectly report zero
memory usage for child cgroups when use_hierarchy is enabled.

test script:
mount -t cgroup none /cgroups -o memory
cd /cgroups
mkdir cg1

echo 1 > cg1/memory.use_hierarchy
mkdir cg1/cg11

echo $$ > cg1/cg11/tasks
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1

echo
echo CHILD
grep cache cg1/cg11/memory.stat

echo
echo PARENT
grep cache cg1/memory.stat

echo $$ > tasks
rmdir cg1/cg11 cg1
cd /
umount /cgroups

Using fae9c79, a recent patch that changed alloc_css_id() depth computation,
the parent incorrectly reports zero usage:
root@ubuntu:~# ./test
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.0151844 s, 69.1 MB/s

CHILD
cache 1048576
total_cache 1048576

PARENT
cache 0
total_cache 0

With this patch, the parent correctly includes child usage:
root@ubuntu:~# ./test
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.0136827 s, 76.6 MB/s

CHILD
cache 1052672
total_cache 1052672

PARENT
cache 0
total_cache 1052672
