legacy hierarchy (#4269)
There are overlapping control group resource settings for the unified and
legacy hierarchies. To help transition, the settings are translated back and
forth. When both versions of a given setting are present, the one matching the
cgroup hierarchy type in use is used. Unfortunately, this is more confusing to
use and document than necessary because there is no clear static precedence.
Update the translation logic so that the settings for the unified hierarchy are
always preferred. systemd.resource-control man page is updated to reflect the
change and reorganized so that the deprecated settings are at the end in its
own section.

This adds a new invocation ID concept to the service manager. The invocation ID
identifies each runtime cycle of a unit uniquely. A new randomized 128bit ID is
generated each time a unit moves from and inactive to an activating or active
state.
The primary usecase for this concept is to connect the runtime data PID 1
maintains about a service with the offline data the journal stores about it.
Previously we'd use the unit name plus start/stop times, which however is
highly racy since the journal will generally process log data after the service
already ended.
The "invocation ID" kinda matches the "boot ID" concept of the Linux kernel,
except that it applies to an individual unit instead of the whole system.
The invocation ID is passed to the activated processes as environment variable.
It is additionally stored as extended attribute on the cgroup of the unit. The
latter is used by journald to automatically retrieve it for each log logged
message and attach it to the log entry. The environment variable is very easily
accessible, even for unprivileged services. OTOH the extended attribute is only
accessible to privileged processes (this is because cgroupfs only supports the
"trusted." xattr namespace, not "user."). The environment variable may be
altered by services, the extended attribute may not be, hence is the better
choice for the journal.
Note that reading the invocation ID off the extended attribute from journald is
racy, similar to the way reading the unit name for a logging process is.
This patch adds APIs to read the invocation ID to sd-id128:
sd_id128_get_invocation() may be used in a similar fashion to
sd_id128_get_boot().
PID1's own logging is updated to always include the invocation ID when it logs
information about a unit.
A new bus call GetUnitByInvocationID() is added that allows retrieving a bus
path to a unit by its invocation ID. The bus path is built using the invocation
ID, thus providing a path for referring to a unit that is valid only for the
current runtime cycleof it.
Outlook for the future: should the kernel eventually allow passing of cgroup
information along AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM messages via a unique cgroup id, then we
can alter the invocation ID to be generated as hash from that rather than
entirely randomly. This way we can derive the invocation race-freely from the
messages.

Similar to MemoryMax=, MemorySwapMax= limits swap usage. This controls
controls "memory.swap.max" attribute in unified cgroup.
|
|
It is useful for clients to be able to read the last CPU usage counter value of
a unit even if the unit is already terminated. Hence, before destroying a
cgroup's cgroup cache the last CPU usage counter and return it if the cgroup is
gone.

The parsing functions for [User]TasksMax were inconsistent. Empty string and
"infinity" were interpreted as no limit for TasksMax but not accepted for
UserTasksMax. Update them so that they're consistent with other knobs.
* Empty string indicates the default value.
* "infinity" indicates no limit.
While at it, replace opencoded (uint64_t) -1 with CGROUP_LIMIT_MAX in TasksMax
handling.
v2: Update empty string to indicate the default value as suggested by Zbigniew
Jędrzejewski-Szmek.
v3: Fixed empty UserTasksMax handling.

Currently, systemd uses either the legacy hierarchies or the unified hierarchy.
When the legacy hierarchies are used, systemd uses a named legacy hierarchy
mounted on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd without any kernel controllers for process
management. Due to the shortcomings in the legacy hierarchy, this involves a
lot of workarounds and complexities.
Because the unified hierarchy can be mounted and used in parallel to legacy
hierarchies, there's no reason for systemd to use a legacy hierarchy for
management even if the kernel resource controllers need to be mounted on legacy
hierarchies. It can simply mount the unified hierarchy under
/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd and use it without affecting other legacy hierarchies.
This disables a significant amount of fragile workaround logics and would allow
using features which depend on the unified hierarchy membership such bpf cgroup
v2 membership test. In time, this would also allow deleting the said
complexities.
This patch updates systemd so that it prefers the unified hierarchy for the
systemd cgroup controller hierarchy when legacy hierarchies are used for kernel
resource controllers.
* cg_unified(@controller) is introduced which tests whether the specific
controller in on unified hierarchy and used to choose the unified hierarchy
code path for process and service management when available. Kernel
controller specific operations remain gated by cg_all_unified().
* "systemd.legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller" kernel argument can be used to
force the use of legacy hierarchy for systemd cgroup controller.
* nspawn: By default nspawn uses the same hierarchies as the host. If
UNIFIED_CGROUP_HIERARCHY is set to 1, unified hierarchy is used for all. If
0, legacy for all.
* nspawn: arg_unified_cgroup_hierarchy is made an enum and now encodes one of
three options - legacy, only systemd controller on unified, and unified. The
value is passed into mount setup functions and controls cgroup configuration.
* nspawn: Interpretation of SYSTEMD_CGROUP_CONTROLLER to the actual mount
option is moved to mount_legacy_cgroup_hierarchy() so that it can take an
appropriate action depending on the configuration of the host.
v2: - CGroupUnified enum replaces open coded integer values to indicate the
cgroup operation mode.
- Various style updates.
v3: Fixed a bug in detect_unified_cgroup_hierarchy() introduced during v2.
v4: Restored legacy container on unified host support and fixed another bug in
detect_unified_cgroup_hierarchy().

A following patch will update cgroup handling so that the systemd controller
(/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd) can use the unified hierarchy even if the kernel
resource controllers are on the legacy hierarchies. This would require
distinguishing whether all controllers are on cgroup v2 or only the systemd
controller is. In preparation, this patch renames cg_unified() to
cg_all_unified().
This patch doesn't cause any functional changes.

Unfortunately, due to the disagreements in the kernel development community,
CPU controller cgroup v2 support has not been merged and enabling it requires
applying two small out-of-tree kernel patches. The situation is explained in
the following documentation.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git/tree/Documentation/cgroup-v2-cpu.txt?h=cgroup-v2-cpu
While it isn't clear what will happen with CPU controller cgroup v2 support,
there are critical features which are possible only on cgroup v2 such as
buffered write control making cgroup v2 essential for a lot of workloads. This
commit implements systemd CPU controller support on the unified hierarchy so
that users who choose to deploy CPU controller cgroup v2 support can easily
take advantage of it.
On the unified hierarchy, "cpu.weight" knob replaces "cpu.shares" and "cpu.max"
replaces "cpu.cfs_period_us" and "cpu.cfs_quota_us". [Startup]CPUWeight config
options are added with the usual compat translation. CPU quota settings remain
unchanged and apply to both legacy and unified hierarchies.
v2: - Error in man page corrected.
- CPU config application in cgroup_context_apply() refactored.
- CPU accounting now works on unified hierarchy.

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3685 introduced
/run/systemd/inaccessible/{chr,blk} to map inacessible devices,
this patch allows systemd running inside a nspawn container to create
/run/systemd/inaccessible/{chr,blk}.

Let's lot at LOG_NOTICE about any processes that we are going to
SIGKILL/SIGABRT because clean termination of them didn't work.
This turns the various boolean flag parameters to cg_kill(), cg_migrate() and
related calls into a single binary flags parameter, simply because the function
now gained even more parameters and the parameter listed shouldn't get too
long.
Logging for killing processes is done either when the kill signal is SIGABRT or
SIGKILL, or on explicit request if KILL_TERMINATE_AND_LOG instead of LOG_TERMINATE
is passed. This isn't used yet in this patch, but is made use of in a later
patch.

Commit da4d897e ("core: add cgroup memory controller support on the unified
hierarchy (#3315)") changed the code in src/core/cgroup.c to always write
the real numeric value from the cgroup parameters to the
"memory.limit_in_bytes" attribute file.
For parameters set to CGROUP_LIMIT_MAX, this results in the string
"18446744073709551615" being written into that file, which is UINT64_MAX.
Before that commit, CGROUP_LIMIT_MAX was special-cased to the string "-1".
This causes a regression on CentOS 7, which is based on kernel 3.10, as the
value is interpreted as *signed* 64 bit, and clamped to 0:
[root@n54 ~]# echo 18446744073709551615 >/sys/fs/cgroup/memory/user.slice/memory.limit_in_bytes
[root@n54 ~]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/user.slice/memory.limit_in_bytes
0
[root@n54 ~]# echo -1 >/sys/fs/cgroup/memory/user.slice/memory.limit_in_bytes
[root@n54 ~]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/user.slice/memory.limit_in_bytes
9223372036854775807
Hence, all units that are subject to the limits enforced by the memory
controller will crash immediately, even though they have no actual limit
set. This happens to for the user.slice, for instance:

To accommodate changes in kernel interface, cgroup unified hierarchy support
added several configuration items which overlap with the existing resource
control settings and there is simple config translation between the overlapping
settings to ease the transition. As why certain cgroup knobs are being
configured can become confusing, this patch adds a master warning message which
is printed once when such translation is first used and logs each translation
with a debug message.
v2:
- Switched to log_unit*().
|
|
cgroup_context_apply() and friends take CGroupContext and cgroup path as input
and has no way of getting back to the associated Unit and thus uses raw cgroup
path for logging. This makes the log messages difficult to track down.
There's no reason to avoid passing in Unit into these functions. Pass in Unit
and use log_unit*() instead.
While at it, make cgroup_context_apply(), which has no outside users, static.
Also, drop cgroup path from log messages where the path itself isn't too
interesting and can be easily obtained from the unit.
|

On the unified hierarchy, memory controller implements three control knobs -
low, high and max which enables more useable and versatile control over memory
usage. This patch implements support for the three control knobs.
* MemoryLow, MemoryHigh and MemoryMax are added for memory.low, memory.high and
memory.max, respectively.
* As all absolute limits on the unified hierarchy use "max" for no limit, make
memory limit parse functions accept "max" in addition to "infinity" and
document "max" for the new knobs.
* Implement compatibility translation between MemoryMax and MemoryLimit.
v2:
- Fixed missing else's in config_parse_memory_limit().
- Fixed missing newline when writing out drop-ins.
- Coding style updates to use "val > 0" instead of "val".
- Minor updates to documentation.
|
|
Recently added cgroup helper functions break the style convention. Fix them
up.
|
|
Due to the substantial interface changes in cgroup unified hierarchy, new IO
settings are introduced. Currently, IO settings apply only to unified
hierarchy and BlockIO to legacy. While the transition is necessary, it's
painful for users to have to provide configs for both. This patch implements
translation from one config set to another for configs which make sense.
* The translation takes place during application of the configs. Users won't
see IO or BlockIO settings appearing without being explicitly created.
* The translation takes place only if there is no config for the matching
cgroup hierarchy type at all.
While this doesn't provide comprehensive compatibility, it should considerably
ease transition to the new IO settings which are a superset of BlockIO
settings.
v2:
- Update test-cgroup-mask.c so that it accounts for the fact that
CGROUP_MASK_IO and CGROUP_MASK_BLKIO move together. Also, test/parent.slice
now sets IOWeight instead of BlockIOWeight.
|
|
Factor out the following functions out of cgroup_context_apply()
* cgroup_context_[blk]io_weight()
* cgroup_apply_[blk]io_device_weight()
* cgroup_apply_[blk]io_device_limit()
This is pure refactoring and shouldn't cause any functional differences.
|
|
CGroupBlockIODeviceBandwith is used to keep track of IO bandwidth limits for
legacy cgroup hierarchies. Unlike the unified hierarchy counterpart
CGroupIODeviceLimit, a CGroupBlockIODeviceBandwiddth records either a read or
write limit and has a couple issues.
* There's no way to clear specific config entry.
* When configs are cleared for an IO direction of a unit, the kernel settings
aren't cleared accordingly creating discrepancies.
This patch updates CGroupBlockIODeviceBandwidth so that it behaves similarly to
CGroupIODeviceLimit - each entry records both rbps and wbps limits and is
cleared if both are at default values after kernel settings are updated.
|
|
cgroup IO controller supports maximum limits for both bandwidth and IOPS but
systemd resource control currently only supports bandwidth limits. This patch
adds support for IOReadIOPSMax and IOWriteIOPSMax when unified cgroup hierarchy
is in use.
It isn't difficult to also add BlockIOReadIOPS and BlockIOWriteIOPS for legacy
hierarchies but IO control on legacy hierarchies is half-broken anyway, so
let's leave it alone for now.
|
|
Currently, there are two cgroup IO limits, bandwidth max for read and write,
and they are hard-coded in various places. This is fine for two limits but IO
is expected to grow more limits - low, high and max limits for bandwidth and
IOPS - and hard-coding each limit won't make sense.
This patch replaces hard-coded limits with an array indexed by
CGroupIOLimitType and accompanying string and default value tables so that new
limits can be added trivially.
|
|
core: add io controller support on the unified hierarchy
|
|
Cgroup fixes.
|
|
On the unified hierarchy, blkio controller is renamed to io and the interface
is changed significantly.
* blkio.weight and blkio.weight_device are consolidated into io.weight which
uses the standardized weight range [1, 10000] with 100 as the default value.
* blkio.throttle.{read|write}_{bps|iops}_device are consolidated into io.max.
Expansion of throttling features is being worked on to support
work-conserving absolute limits (io.low and io.high).
* All stats are consolidated into io.stats.
This patchset adds support for the new interface. As the interface has been
revamped and new features are expected to be added, it seems best to treat it
as a separate controller rather than trying to expand the blkio settings
although we might add automatic translation if only blkio settings are
specified.
* io.weight handling is mostly identical to blkio.weight[_device] handling
except that the weight range is different.
* Both read and write bandwidth settings are consolidated into
CGroupIODeviceLimit which describes all limits applicable to the device.
This makes it less painful to add new limits.
* "max" can be used to specify the maximum limit which is equivalent to no
config for max limits and treated as such. If a given CGroupIODeviceLimit
doesn't contain any non-default configs, the config struct is discarded once
the no limit config is applied to cgroup.
* lookup_blkio_device() is renamed to lookup_block_device().

dbus-daemon currently uses a backlog of 30 on its D-bus system bus socket. On
overloaded systems this means that only 30 connections may be queued without
dbus-daemon processing them before further connection attempts fail. Our
cgroups-agent binary so far used D-Bus for its messaging, and hitting this
limit hence may result in us losing cgroup empty messages.
This patch adds a seperate cgroup agent socket of type AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM.
Since sockets of these types need no connection set up, no listen() backlog
applies. Our cgroup-agent binary will hence simply block as long as it can't
enqueue its datagram message, so that we won't lose cgroup empty messages as
likely anymore.
This also rearranges the ordering of the processing of SIGCHLD signals, service
notification messages (sd_notify()...) and the two types of cgroup
notifications (inotify for the unified hierarchy support, and agent for the
classic hierarchy support). We now always process events for these in the
following order:
1. service notification messages (SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_NORMAL-7)
2. SIGCHLD signals (SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_NORMAL-6)
3. cgroup inotify and cgroup agent (SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_NORMAL-5)
This is because when receiving SIGCHLD we invalidate PID information, which we
need to process the service notification messages which are bound to PIDs.
Hence the order between the first two items. And we want to process SIGCHLD
metadata to detect whether a service is gone, before using cgroup
notifications, to decide when a service is gone, since the former carries more
useful metadata.

unit_has_mask_realized() determines whether the specified unit has its cgroups
set up properly given the desired target_mask; however, on the unified
hierarchy, controllers need to be enabled explicitly for children and the mask
of enabled controllers can deviate from target_mask. Only considering
target_mask in unit_has_mask_realized() can lead to false positives and
skipping enabling the requested controllers.
This patch adds unit->cgroup_enabled_mask to track which controllers are
enabled and updates unit_has_mask_realized() to also consider enable_mask.

Previously, we had two enums ManagerRunningAs and UnitFileScope, that were
mostly identical and converted from one to the other all the time. The latter
had one more value UNIT_FILE_GLOBAL however.
Let's simplify things, and remove ManagerRunningAs and replace it by
UnitFileScope everywhere, thus making the translation unnecessary. Introduce
two new macros MANAGER_IS_SYSTEM() and MANAGER_IS_USER() to simplify checking
if we are running in one or the user context.
|
|
Earlier during the development of unified hierarchy, the populated event was
reported through by the dedicated "cgroup.populated" file; however, the
interface was updated so that it's reported through the "populated" field of
"cgroup.events" file. Update populated event handling logic accordingly.

Support for net_cls.class_id through the NetClass= configuration directive
has been added in v227 in preparation for a per-unit packet filter mechanism.
However, it turns out the kernel people have decided to deprecate the net_cls
and net_prio controllers in v2. Tejun provides a comprehensive justification
for this in his commit, which has landed during the merge window for kernel
v4.5:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bd1060a1d671
As we're aiming for full support for the v2 cgroup hierarchy, we can no
longer support this feature. Userspace tool such as nftables are moving over
to setting rules that are specific to the full cgroup path of a task, which
obsoletes these controllers anyway.
This commit removes support for tweaking details in the net_cls controller,
but keeps the NetClass= directive around for legacy compatibility reasons.

This should be handled fine now by .dir-locals.el, so need to carry that

string-util.[ch]
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.

Add a new config directive called NetClass= to CGroup enabled units.
Allowed values are positive numbers for fix assignments and "auto" for
picking a free value automatically, for which we need to keep track of
dynamically assigned net class IDs of units. Introduce a hash table for
this, and also record the last ID that was given out, so the allocator
can start its search for the next 'hole' from there. This could
eventually be optimized with something like an irb.
The class IDs up to 65536 are considered reserved and won't be
assigned automatically by systemd. This barrier can be made a config
directive in the future.
Values set in unit files are stored in the CGroupContext of the
unit and considered read-only. The actually assigned number (which
may have been chosen dynamically) is stored in the unit itself and
is guaranteed to remain stable as long as the unit is active.
In the CGroup controller, set the configured CGroup net class to
net_cls.classid. Multiple unit may share the same net class ID,
and those which do are linked together.
|
|
Let's make sure that we follow the same codepaths when adjusting a
cgroup property via the dbus SetProperty() call, and when we execute the
StartupCPUShares= effect.
|
|
Let's stop using the "unsigned long" type for weights/shares, and let's
just use uint64_t for this, as that's what we expose on the bus.
Unify parsers, and always validate the range for these fields.
Correct the default blockio weight to 500, since that's what the kernel
actually uses.
When parsing the weight/shares settings from unit files accept the empty
string as a way to reset the weight/shares value. When getting it via
the bus, uniformly map (uint64_t) -1 to unset.
Open up StartupCPUShares= and StartupBlockIOWeight= to transient units.

This adds support for the new "pids" cgroup controller of 4.3 kernels.
It allows accounting the number of tasks in a cgroup and enforcing
limits on it.
This adds two new setting TasksAccounting= and TasksMax= to each unit,
as well as a gloabl option DefaultTasksAccounting=.
This also updated "cgtop" to optionally make use of the new
kernel-provided accounting.
systemctl has been updated to show the number of tasks for each service
if it is available.
This patch also adds correct support for undoing memory limits for units
using a MemoryLimit=infinity syntax. We do the same for TasksMax= now
and hence keep things in sync here.

Delegation to unpriviliged processes is safe in the unified hierarchy,
hence allow it. This has the benefit of permitting "systemd --user"
instances to further partition their resources between user services.
|
|
Let's move the actual cgroup part of it into a new separate function
manager_get_unit_by_pid_cgroup(), and then make
manager_get_unit_by_pid() just a wrapper that also checks the two pid
hashmaps.
Then, let's make sure the various calls that want to deliver events to
the owners of a PID check both hashmaps and the cgroup and deliver the
event to *each* of them. OTOH make sure bus calls like GetUnitByPID()
continue to check the PID hashmaps first and the cgroup only as
fallback.
