A hung task can occur during [1] LTP cgroup testing when repeatedly
mounting/unmounting perf_event and net_prio controllers with
systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1. The hang manifests in
cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline() during root destruction.
Related case:
cgroup_fj_function_perf_event cgroup_fj_function.sh perf_event
cgroup_fj_function_net_prio cgroup_fj_function.sh net_prio
Call Trace:

Root Cause:
CPU0 CPU1
mount perf_event umount net_prio
cgroup1_get_tree cgroup_kill_sb
rebind_subsystems // root destruction enqueues
// cgroup_destroy_wq
// kill all perf_event css
// one perf_event css A is dying
// css A offline enqueues cgroup_destroy_wq
// root destruction will be executed first
css_free_rwork_fn
cgroup_destroy_root
cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline
// some perf descendants are dying
// cgroup_destroy_wq max_active = 1
// waiting for css A to die
Problem scenario:
1. CPU0 mounts perf_event (rebind_subsystems)
2. CPU1 unmounts net_prio (cgroup_kill_sb), queuing root destruction work
3. A dying perf_event CSS gets queued for offline after root destruction
4. Root destruction waits for offline completion, but offline work is
blocked behind root destruction in cgroup_destroy_wq (max_active=1)
Solution:
Split cgroup_destroy_wq into three dedicated workqueues:
cgroup_offline_wq – Handles CSS offline operations
cgroup_release_wq – Manages resource release
cgroup_free_wq – Performs final memory deallocation
This separation eliminates blocking in the CSS free path while waiting for
offline operations to complete.

css_rstat_exit() may be called asynchronously in scenarios where preceding
calls to css_rstat_init() have not completed. One such example is this
sequence below:
css_create(...)
{
...
init_and_link_css(css, ...);
err = percpu_ref_init(...);
if (err)
goto err_free_css;
err = cgroup_idr_alloc(...);
if (err)
goto err_free_css;
err = css_rstat_init(css, ...);
if (err)
goto err_free_css;
...
err_free_css:
INIT_RCU_WORK(&css->destroy_rwork, css_free_rwork_fn);
queue_rcu_work(cgroup_destroy_wq, &css->destroy_rwork);
return ERR_PTR(err);
}
If any of the three goto jumps are taken, async cleanup will begin and
css_rstat_exit() will be invoked on an uninitialized css->rstat_cpu.
Avoid accessing the unitialized field by returning early in
css_rstat_exit() if this is the case.

It was found during testing that an invalid leaf partition with an
empty effective exclusive CPU list can become a valid empty partition
with no CPU afer an offline/online operation of an unrelated CPU. An
empty partition root is allowed in the special case that it has no
task in its cgroup and has distributed out all its CPUs to its child
partitions. That is certainly not the case here.
The problem is in the cpumask_subsets() test in the hotplug case
(update with no new mask) of update_parent_effective_cpumask() as it
also returns true if the effective exclusive CPU list is empty. Fix that
by addding the cpumask_empty() test to root out this exception case.
Also add the cpumask_empty() test in cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks()
to avoid calling update_parent_effective_cpumask() for this special case.

Since commit d74b27d63a ("cgroup/cpuset: Change cpuset_rwsem
and hotplug lock order"), the ordering of cpu hotplug lock
and cpuset_mutex had been reversed. That patch correctly
used the cpuslocked version of the static branch API to enable
cpusets_pre_enable_key and cpusets_enabled_key, but it didn't do the
same for cpusets_insane_config_key.
The cpusets_insane_config_key can be enabled in the
check_insane_mems_config() which is called from update_nodemask()
or cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks() with both cpu hotplug lock and
cpuset_mutex held. Deadlock can happen with a pending hotplug event that
tries to acquire the cpu hotplug write lock which will block further
cpus_read_lock() attempt from check_insane_mems_config(). Fix that by
switching to use static_branch_enable_cpuslocked().

augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a

/proc/cgroups lists only v1 controllers by default, however, this is
only enforced since the commit af000ce852 ("cgroup: Do not report
unavailable v1 controllers in /proc/cgroups") and there is software in
the wild that uses content of /proc/cgroups to decide on availability of
v2 (sic) controllers.
Add a boottime param that can bring back the previous behavior for
setups where the check in the software cannot be changed and it causes
e.g. unintended OOMs.
Also, this patch takes out cgrp_v1_visible from cgroup1_subsys_absent()
guard since it's only important to check which hierarchy (v1 vs v2) the
subsys is attached to. This has no effect on the printed message but
the code is cleaner since cgrp_v1_visible is really about mounted
hierarchies, not the content of /proc/cgroups.

This reverts commit cff5f49d43.
Commit cff5f49d43 ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not
frozen") modified the cgroup_freezing() logic to verify that the FROZEN
flag is not set, affecting the return value of the freezing() function,
in order to address a warning in __thaw_task.
A race condition exists that may allow tasks to escape being frozen. The
following scenario demonstrates this issue:
CPU 0 (get_signal path) CPU 1 (freezer.state reader)
try_to_freeze read freezer.state
__refrigerator freezer_read
update_if_frozen
WRITE_ONCE(current->__state, TASK_FROZEN);
...
/* Task is now marked frozen */
/* frozen(task) == true */
/* Assuming other tasks are frozen */
freezer->state |= CGROUP_FROZEN;
/* freezing(current) returns false */
/* because cgroup is frozen (not freezing) */
break out
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
/* Bug: Task resumes running when it should remain frozen */
The existing !frozen(p) check in __thaw_task makes the
WARN_ON_ONCE(freezing(p)) warning redundant. Removing this warning enables
reverting the commit cff5f49d43 ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check
if not frozen") to resolve the issue.
The warning has been removed in the previous patch. This patch revert the
commit cff5f49d43 ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not
frozen") to complete the fix.

Before the commit 36df6e3dbd ("cgroup: make css_rstat_updated nmi
safe"), the struct llist_node is expected to be private to the one
inserting the node to the lockless list or the one removing the node
from the lockless list. After the mentioned commit, the llist_node in
the rstat code is per-cpu shared between the stacked contexts i.e.
process, softirq, hardirq & nmi. It is possible the compiler may tear
the loads or stores of llist_node. Let's avoid that.

These are expected race and a simple READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE resolves these

memory barriers if stronger guarantees are needed.
More specifically the rstat updater and the flusher can race and cause a
scenario where the stats updater skips adding the css to the lockless
list but the flusher might not see those updates done by the skipped
updater. This is benign race and the subsequent flusher will flush those
stats and at the moment there aren't any rstat users which are not fine
with this kind of race. However some future user might want more
stricter guarantee, so let's add appropriate comments to ease the job of
future users.

FREEZING
When tasks are migrated to a frozen cgroup, the freezer fails to
immediately freeze the tasks, causing the cgroup to remain in the
"FREEZING".
The freeze_task() function is called before clearing the CGROUP_FROZEN
flag. This causes the freezing() check to incorrectly return false,
preventing __freeze_task() from being invoked for the migrated task.
To fix this issue, clear the CGROUP_FROZEN state before calling
freeze_task().

The rstat update side used to insert the cgroup whose stats are updated
in the update tree and the read side flush the update tree to get the
latest uptodate stats. The per-cpu per-subsystem locks were used to
synchronize the update and flush side. However now the update side does
not access update tree but uses per-cpu lockless lists. So there is no
need for locks to synchronize update and flush side. Let's remove them.

To make css_rstat_updated() able to safely run in nmi context, let's
move the rstat update tree creation at the flush side and use per-cpu
lockless lists in struct cgroup_subsys to track the css whose stats are
updated on that cpu.
The struct cgroup_subsys_state now has per-cpu lnode which needs to be
inserted into the corresponding per-cpu lhead of struct cgroup_subsys.
Since we want the insertion to be nmi safe, there can be multiple
inserters on the same cpu for the same lnode. Here multiple inserters
are from stacked contexts like softirq, hardirq and nmi.
The current llist does not provide function to protect against the
scenario where multiple inserters can use the same lnode. So, using
llist_node() out of the box is not safe for this scenario.
However we can protect against multiple inserters using the same lnode
by using the fact llist node points to itself when not on the llist and
atomically reset it and select the winner as the single inserter.

Previously it was found that on uniprocessor machines the size of
raw_spinlock_t could be zero so a pre-processor conditional was used to
avoid the allocation of ss->rstat_ss_cpu_lock. The conditional did not take
into account cases where lock debugging features were enabled. Cover these
cases along with the original non-smp case by explicitly using the size of
size of the lock type as criteria for allocation/access where applicable.

Quotes are appropriate because (at 6k lines and 100+ commits) it is
much bigger than the rest, which will come later this week and
consists mostly of bugfixes and selftests. s390 changes will also come
in the second batch.
ARM:
- Add large stage-2 mapping (THP) support for non-protected guests
when pKVM is enabled, clawing back some performance.
- Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it,
though it is disabled by default.
- Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE
and protected modes.
- Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links
them with the effects of control bits. While this has no functional
impact, it ensures correctness of emulation (the data is
automatically extracted from the published JSON files), and helps
dealing with the evolution of the architecture.
- Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages,
avoiding page table walks by storing the state in the hypervisor's
vmemmap. This in turn enables the THP support described above.
- New selftest checking the pKVM ownership transition rules
- Fixes for FEAT_MTE_ASYNC being accidentally advertised to guests
even if the host didn't have it.
- Fixes for the address translation emulation, which happened to be
rather buggy in some specific contexts.
- Fixes for the PMU emulation in NV contexts, decoupling PMCR_EL0.N
from the number of counters exposed to a guest and addressing a
number of issues in the process.
- Add a new selftest for the SVE host state being corrupted by a
guest.
- Keep HCR_EL2.xMO set at all times for systems running with the
kernel at EL2, ensuring that the window for interrupts is slightly
bigger, and avoiding a pretty bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW.
- Add workaround for AmpereOne's erratum AC04_CPU_23, which suffers
from a pretty bad case of TLB corruption unless accesses to HCR_EL2
are heavily synchronised.
- Add a per-VM, per-ITS debugfs entry to dump the state of the ITS
tables in a human-friendly fashion.
- and the usual random cleanups.

- Don't flush tlb if the host supports hardware page table walks.
- Add KVM selftests support.

- VCPU reset related improvements

- Support VCPU reset from userspace using set_mpstate() ioctl

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- cgroup rstat shared the tracking tree across all controllers with the
rationale being that a cgroup which is using one resource is likely
to be using other resources at the same time (ie. if something is
allocating memory, it's probably consuming CPU cycles).
However, this turned out to not scale very well especially with memcg
using rstat for internal operations which made memcg stat read and
flush patterns substantially different from other controllers. JP
Kobryn split the rstat tree per controller.
- cgroup BPF support was hooking into cgroup init/exit paths directly.

Subsystem rstat locks are dynamically allocated per-cpu. It was discovered
that a panic can occur during this allocation when the lock size is zero.
This is the case on non-smp systems, since arch_spinlock_t is defined as an

It is possible to eliminate contention between subsystems when
updating/flushing stats by using subsystem-specific locks. Let the existing
rstat locks be dedicated to the cgroup base stats and rename them to
reflect that. Add similar locks to the cgroup_subsys struct for use with
individual subsystems.
Lock initialization is done in the new function ss_rstat_init(ss) which
replaces cgroup_rstat_boot(void). If NULL is passed to this function, the
global base stat locks will be initialized. Otherwise, the subsystem locks
will be initialized.
Change the existing lock helper functions to accept a reference to a css.
Then within these functions, conditionally select the appropriate locks
based on the subsystem affiliation of the given css. Add helper functions
for this selection routine to avoid repeated code.

Different subsystems may call cgroup_rstat_updated() within the same
cgroup, resulting in a tree of pending updates from multiple subsystems.
When one of these subsystems is flushed via cgroup_rstat_flushed(), all
other subsystems with pending updates on the tree will also be flushed.
Change the paradigm of having a single rstat tree for all subsystems to
having separate trees for each subsystem. This separation allows for
subsystems to perform flushes without the side effects of other subsystems.
As an example, flushing the cpu stats will no longer cause the memory stats
to be flushed and vice versa.
In order to achieve subsystem-specific trees, change the tree node type
from cgroup to cgroup_subsys_state pointer. Then remove those pointers from
the cgroup and instead place them on the css. Finally, change update/flush
functions to make use of the different node type (css). These changes allow
a specific subsystem to be associated with an update or flush. Separate
rstat trees will now exist for each unique subsystem.
Since updating/flushing will now be done at the subsystem level, there is
no longer a need to keep track of updated css nodes at the cgroup level.
The list management of these nodes done within the cgroup (rstat_css_list
and related) has been removed accordingly.
Conditional guards for checking validity of a given css were placed within
css_rstat_updated/flush() to prevent undefined behavior occuring from kfunc
usage in bpf programs. Guards were also placed within css_rstat_init/exit()
in order to help consolidate calls to them. At call sites for all four
functions, the existing guards were removed.

An early init subsystem that attempts to make use of rstat can lead to
failures during early boot. The reason for this is the timing in which the
css's of the root cgroup have css_online() invoked on them. At the point of
this call, there is a stated assumption that a cgroup has "successfully
completed all allocations" [0]. An example of a subsystem that relies on
the previously mentioned assumption [0] is the memory subsystem. Within its
implementation of css_online(), work is queued to asynchronously begin
flushing via rstat. In the early init path for a given subsystem, having
rstat enabled leads to this sequence:
cgroup_init_early()
for_each_subsys(ss, ssid)
if (ss->early_init)
cgroup_init_subsys(ss, true)
cgroup_init_subsys(ss, early_init)
css = ss->css_alloc(...)
init_and_link_css(css, ss, ...)
...
online_css(css)
online_css(css)
ss = css->ss
ss->css_online(css)
Continuing to use the memory subsystem as an example, the issue with this
sequence is that css_rstat_init() has not been called yet. This means there
is now a race between the pending async work to flush rstat and the call to
css_rstat_init(). So a flush can occur within the given cgroup while the
rstat fields are not initialized.
Since we are in the early init phase, the rstat fields cannot be
initialized because they require per-cpu allocations. So it's not possible
to have css_rstat_init() called early enough (before online_css()). This
patch treats the combination of early init and rstat the same as as other
invalid conditions.

It is possible for a reclaimer to cause demotions of an lruvec belonging
to a cgroup with cpuset.mems set to exclude some nodes. Attempt to apply
this limitation based on the lruvec's memcg and prevent demotion.
Notably, this may still allow demotion of shared libraries or any memory
first instantiated in another cgroup. This means cpusets still cannot
cannot guarantee complete isolation when demotion is enabled, and the docs
have been updated to reflect this.
This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
certain classes of memory more consistently - with the noted exceptions.
Note on locking:
The cgroup_get_e_css reference protects the css->effective_mems, and calls
of this interface would be subject to the same race conditions associated
with a non-atomic access to cs->effective_mems.
So while this interface cannot make strong guarantees of correctness, it
can therefore avoid taking a global or rcu_read_lock for performance.

Patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion", v5.
Change reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. Presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective
when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated.
Implement cpuset_node_allowed() to check the cpuset.mems_effective
associated wih the mem_cgroup of the lruvec being scanned. This only
applies to cgroup/cpuset v2, as cpuset exists in a different hierarchy
than mem_cgroup in v1.
This requires renaming the existing cpuset_node_allowed() to be
cpuset_current_now_allowed() - which is more descriptive anyway - to
implement the new cpuset_node_allowed() which takes a target cgroup.
This patch (of 2):
Rename cpuset_node_allowed to reflect that the function checks the current
task's cpuset.mems. This allows us to make a new cpuset_node_allowed
function that checks a target cgroup's cpuset.mems.

Commit ec5fbdfb99 ("cgroup/cpuset: Enable update_tasks_cpumask()
on top_cpuset") enabled us to pull CPUs dedicated to child partitions
from tasks in top_cpuset by ignoring per cpu kthreads. However, there
can be other kthreads that are not per cpu but have PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
flag set to indicate that we shouldn't mess with their CPU affinity.
For other kthreads, their affinity will be changed to skip CPUs dedicated
to child partitions whether it is an isolating or a scheduling one.
As all the per cpu kthreads have PF_NO_SETAFFINITY set, the
PF_NO_SETAFFINITY tasks are essentially a superset of per cpu kthreads.
Fix this issue by dropping the kthread_is_per_cpu() check and checking
the PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flag instead.

The cgroup_rstat_push_children() function converts a set of
updated_children lists from different cgroups into a single ordered
list of cgroups to be flushed via the rstat_flush_next pointer.
The algorithm used isn't that well illustrated and it takes time to
grasp what it is doing. Improve the embedded documentation and variable
names to better illustrate the transformation process and make the code
easier to understand.
Also cgroup_rstat_lock must be held for the whole duration
from where the rstat_flush_next list is being constructed in
cgroup_rstat_push_children() to when it is consumed later in
css_rstat_flush(). Otherwise, list corruption can happen leading to
system crash as reported in [1]. In this particular case, the branch
being used has commit 093c8812de ("cgroup: rstat: Cleanup flushing
functions and locking") which breaks this rule, but is missing the fix
commit 7d6c63c319 ("cgroup: rstat: call cgroup_rstat_updated_list
with cgroup_rstat_lock") that fixes it.
This patch has no functional change.

Android has mounted the v1 cpuset controller using filesystem type
"cpuset" (not "cgroup") since 2015 [1], and depends on the resulting
behavior where the controller name is not added as a prefix for cgroupfs
files. [2]
Later, a problem was discovered where cpu hotplug onlining did not
affect the cpuset/cpus files, which Android carried an out-of-tree patch
to address for a while. An attempt was made to upstream this patch, but
the recommendation was to use the "cpuset_v2_mode" mount option
instead. [3]
An effort was made to do so, but this fails with "cgroup: Unknown
parameter 'cpuset_v2_mode'" because commit e1cba4b85d ("cgroup: Add
mount flag to enable cpuset to use v2 behavior in v1 cgroup") did not
update the special cased cpuset_mount(), and only the cgroup (v1)
filesystem type was updated.
Add parameter parsing to the cpuset filesystem type so that
cpuset_v2_mode works like the cgroup filesystem type:
$ mkdir /dev/cpuset
$ mount -t cpuset -ocpuset_v2_mode none /dev/cpuset
$ mount|grep cpuset
none on /dev/cpuset type cgroup (rw,relatime,cpuset,noprefix,cpuset_v2_mode,release_agent=/sbin/cpuset_release_agent)

When adding folio_memcg function call in the zram module for
Android16-6.12, the following error occurs during compilation:
ERROR: modpost: "cgroup_mutex" [../soc-repo/zram.ko] undefined!
This error is caused by the indirect call to lockdep_is_held(&cgroup_mutex)
within folio_memcg. The export setting for cgroup_mutex is controlled by
the CONFIG_PROVE_RCU macro. If CONFIG_LOCKDEP is enabled while
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is not, this compilation error will occur.
To resolve this issue, add a parallel macro CONFIG_LOCKDEP control to
ensure cgroup_mutex is properly exported when needed.

The current cpuset code uses both cpu_active_mask and cpu_online_mask
and it can be confusing which one should be used if we need to update
the code.
The top_cpuset is always synchronized to cpu_active_mask and we should
avoid using cpu_online_mask as much as possible. An active CPU is always
an online CPU, but not vice versa. cpu_active_mask and cpu_online_mask
can differ during hotplug operations.
A CPU is marked active at the last stage of CPU bringup (CPUHP_AP_ACTIVE).
It is also the stage where cpuset hotplug code will be called to update
the sched domains so that the scheduler can move a normal task to a
newly active CPU or remove tasks away from a newly inactivated CPU. The
online bit is set much earlier in the CPU bringup process and cleared
much later in CPU teardown.
If cpu_online_mask is used while a hotunplug operation is happening in
parallel, we may leave an offline CPU in cpu_allowed or have a higher
chance of leaving an offline CPU in some other masks. Avoid this
problem by always using cpu_active_mask in the cpuset code and leave
a comment as to why the use of cpu_online_mask is discouraged.
