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.
off_t is a really weird type as it is usually 64bit these days (at least
in sane programs), but could theoretically be 32bit. We don't support
off_t as 32bit builds though, but still constantly deal with safely
converting from off_t to other types and back for no point.
Hence, never use the type anymore. Always use uint64_t instead. This has
various benefits, including that we can expose these values directly as
D-Bus properties, and also that the values parse the same in all cases.
That function really makes little sense, as the open-coded variant
is much more readable. Also, if the 2nd argument is NULL, mfree()
is a much better candidate.
Convert the only users of this function in localed, and then remove it
entirely.
Introduce a proper enum, and don't pass around string ids anymore. This
simplifies things quite a bit, and makes virtualization detection more
similar to architecture detection.
.nspawn fiels are simple settings files that may accompany container
images and directories and contain settings otherwise passed on the
nspawn command line. This provides an efficient way to attach execution
data directly to containers.
The following details are passed:
- unit: the primary name of the unit upon which the action was
invoked (i.e. after resolving any aliases);
- verb: one of 'start', 'stop', 'reload', 'restart', 'try-restart',
'reload-or-restart', 'reload-or-try-restart', 'kill',
'reset-failed', or 'set-property', corresponding to the
systemctl verb used to invoke the action.
Typical use of these details in a polkit policy rule might be:
// Allow alice to manage example.service;
// fall back to implicit authorization otherwise.
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units" &&
action.lookup("unit") == "example.service" &&
subject.user == "alice") {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
We also supply a custom polkit message that includes the unit's name and
the requested operation.
In the unified hierarchy delegating controller access is safe, hence
make sure to enable all controllers for the "payload" subcgroup if we
create it, so that the container will have all controllers enabled the
nspawn service itself has.
If the controller managed by systemd cannot found in /proc/$PID/cgroup,
return ENODATA, the usual error for cases where the data being looked
for does not exist, even if the process does.
Previously, on the legacy hierarchy a non-existing cgroup was considered
identical to an empty one, but the unified hierarchy the check for a
non-existing one returned ENOENT.
This simply factors out the uid validation checks from parse_uid() and
uses them everywhere. This simply verifies that the passed UID is
neither 64bit -1 nor 32bit -1.
This adds a new PID_TO_PTR() macro, plus PTR_TO_PID() and makes use of
it wherever we maintain processes in a hash table. Previously we
sometimes used LONG_TO_PTR() and other times ULONG_TO_PTR() for that,
hence let's make this more explicit and clean up things.
This patch set adds full support the new unified cgroup hierarchy logic
of modern kernels.
A new kernel command line option "systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=1" is
added. If specified the unified hierarchy is mounted to /sys/fs/cgroup
instead of a tmpfs. No further hierarchies are mounted. The kernel
command line option defaults to off. We can turn it on by default as
soon as the kernel's APIs regarding this are stabilized (but even then
downstream distros might want to turn this off, as this will break any
tools that access cgroupfs directly).
It is possibly to choose for each boot individually whether the unified
or the legacy hierarchy is used. nspawn will by default provide the
legacy hierarchy to containers if the host is using it, and the unified
otherwise. However it is possible to run containers with the unified
hierarchy on a legacy host and vice versa, by setting the
$UNIFIED_CGROUP_HIERARCHY environment variable for nspawn to 1 or 0,
respectively.
The unified hierarchy provides reliable cgroup empty notifications for
the first time, via inotify. To make use of this we maintain one
manager-wide inotify fd, and each cgroup to it.
This patch also removes cg_delete() which is unused now.
On kernel 4.2 only the "memory" controller is compatible with the
unified hierarchy, hence that's the only controller systemd exposes when
booted in unified heirarchy mode.
This introduces a new enum for enumerating supported controllers, plus a
related enum for the mask bits mapping to it. The core is changed to
make use of this everywhere.
This moves PID 1 into a new "init.scope" implicit scope unit in the root
slice. This is necessary since on the unified hierarchy cgroups may
either contain subgroups or processes but not both. PID 1 hence has to
move out of the root cgroup (strictly speaking the root cgroup is the
only one where processes and subgroups are still allowed, but in order
to support containers nicey, we move PID 1 into the new scope in all
cases.) This new unit is also used on legacy hierarchy setups. It's
actually pretty useful on all systems, as it can then be used to filter
journal messages coming from PID 1, and so on.
The root slice ("-.slice") is now implicitly created and started (and
does not require a unit file on disk anymore), since
that's where "init.scope" is located and the slice needs to be started
before the scope can.
To check whether we are in unified or legacy hierarchy mode we use
statfs() on /sys/fs/cgroup. If the .f_type field reports tmpfs we are in
legacy mode, if it reports cgroupfs we are in unified mode.
This patch set carefuly makes sure that cgls and cgtop continue to work
as desired.
When invoking nspawn as a service it will implicitly create two
subcgroups in the cgroup it is using, one to move the nspawn process
into, the other to move the actual container processes into. This is
done because of the requirement that cgroups may either contain
processes or other subgroups.
In all cases where the function (or cg_is_empty_recursive()) ignoring
the calling process is actually wrong, as a process keeps a cgroup busy
regardless if its the current one or another. Hence, let's simplify
things and drop the "ignore_self" parameter.
