[RFC 0/2] cgroup: New misc cgroup controller

[RFC 0/2] cgroup: New misc cgroup controller

[Vipin Sharma]

Hello,

This patch is creating a new misc cgroup controller for allocation and
tracking of resources which are not abstract like other cgroup
controllers.

This controller was initially proposed as encryption_id but after
the feedbacks, it is now changed to misc cgroup.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210108012846.4134815-2-vipinsh@google.com/

Changes from the encryption_id controller are:
1. There are only 3 files misc.{capacity, max, current} for all
   resources compared to each resource having their own 3 files in
   encryption_id cgroup.
2. If a resource capacity is 0 then it is considered inactive and won't
   show up in control files.
2. This is a lockless implementation similar to page counter APIs
   compared to single lock implementation in encryption_id cgroup.

Please provide any feedback for this RFC or if it is good for
merging then I can send a patch for merging.

Thanks

[RFC 1/2] cgroup: sev: Add misc cgroup controller

[Vipin Sharma]

The Miscellaneous cgroup provides the resource allocation and tracking
mechanism for the scalar resources which cannot be abstracted like the
other cgroup resources. Controller is enabled by the CONFIG_CGROUP_MISC
config option.

The first two resources added to the miscellaneous controller are Secure
Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) ASIDs and SEV - Encrypted State (SEV-ES)
ASIDs. These limited ASIDs are used for encrypting virtual machines
memory on the AMD platform

Miscellaneous controller provides 3 interface files:

misc.capacity
  A read-only flat-keyed file shown only in the root cgroup.  It shows
  miscellaneous scalar resources available on the platform along with
  their quantities
	$ cat misc.capacity
	sev 50
	sev_es 10

misc.current
  A read-only flat-keyed file shown in the non-root cgroups.  It shows
  the current usage of the resources in the cgroup and its children.
	$ cat misc.current
	sev 3
	sev_es 0

misc.max
  A read-write flat-keyed file shown in the non root cgroups. Allowed
  maximum usage of the resources in the cgroup and its children.::
	$ cat misc.max
	sev max
	sev_es 4

  Limit can be set by::
	# echo sev 1 > misc.max

  Limit can be set to max by::
	# echo sev max > misc.max

  Limits can be set more than the capacity value in the misc.capacity
  file.

I'm not sure the user of this resource accounting will always be able to
interpret EBUSY returned from depths of the subsystem.
See what's done in pids controller in order to give some useful
information about why operation failed.

1) Use the /* comment */ style.
2) You pin the whole path from task_cg up to root (on the first charge).
That's unnecessary since children reference their parents.
Also why do you get the reference only for the first charger? While it
may work, it seems too convoluted to me.
It'd be worth documenting what the caller can expect wrt to ref count of
the returned misc_cg.

Just to be on the same page are you talking about adding an events file
like in pids?

Suppose a user charges 5 resources in a single charge call but uncharges
them in 5 separate calls one by one. I cannot take reference on every
charge and put the reference for every uncharge as it is not guaranteed
to have equal number of charge-uncharge pairs and we will end up with
the wrong ref count.

However, if I take reference at the first charge and remove reference at
last uncharge then I can keep the ref count in correct sync.

I can rewrite if condition to (new_usage == amount && task_cg == i)
this will avoid pinning whole path up to the root. I was thinking that
original code was simpler, clearly I was wrong.

Thanks

Then I'm wondering if the current form is sufficient, i.e. the generic
controller can hardly implement preemption but possibly it should
prevent any additional charges of the resource. (Or this can be
implemented the other subsystem and explained in the
misc_cg_set_capacity() docs.)

Actually, I meant just the kernel log message. As it's the simpler part
and even pid events have some inconsistencies wrt hierarchical
reporting.

I see now how it works. I still find it a bit complex. What about making
misc_cg an input parameter and making it the callers responsibility to
keep a reference? (Perhaps with helpers for the most common case.)

My approach here is that it is the responsibility of the caller to:
1. Check the return value and proceed accordingly.
2. Ideally, let all of the usage be 0 before deactivating this resource
   by setting capacity to 0

But I see your point that it makes sense for this call to always
succeed. I think I can simplify this function now to just have xchg() (for
memory barrier) so that new value is immediately reflected in
misc_cg_try_charge() and no new charges will succeed.

Is the above change good?

I see, thanks, I will add some log messages, 

if (new_usage > res->max || new_usage > misc_res_capacity[type)) {
  pr_info("cgroup: charge rejected by misc controller for %s resource in ",
          misc_res_name[type]);
  pr_cont_cgroup_path(i->css.cgroup);
  pr_cont("\n");
  ...
}

Only difference compared to pids will be that here logs will be printed
for every failure.

I was thinking to add more information in the log like what is the current
limits (max and capacity) and what new usage would have been. Will there
be any objection to extra information?

Yeah, that can simplify the misc controller, I will have to add couple of
more helper APIs for callers having simple use cases. I will make this
change.

If the calling side can ensure itself that no new units of the resource
are used from that moment on, then it can work this way -- but describe
that in misc_cg_set_capacity() comment.

> Is the above change good?
I think both alternatives would work. But the latter (as I see it now)
would mandate dependency on CONFIG_CGROUP or it'd have to double the
similar logic itself. So maybe keeping the caller responsible explicitly
is simpler from this POV.

> Will there be any objection to extra information?
IMO it's unnecessary (stating this just for consistency reasons), no
strong opinion.

 Misc
+--------------
+
+The Miscellaneous cgroup provides the resource allocation and tracking
+mechanism for the scalar resources which cannot be abstracted like the other
+cgroup resources. Controller is enabled by the CONFIG_CGROUP_MISC config
+option.
+
+The first two resources added to the miscellaneous controller are Secure
+Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) ASIDs and SEV - Encrypted State (SEV-ES) ASIDs.
+These limited ASIDs are used for encrypting virtual machines memory on the AMD
+platform.
+
+Misc Interface Files
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Miscellaneous controller provides 3 interface files:
+
+  misc.capacity
+        A read-only flat-keyed file shown only in the root cgroup.  It shows
+        miscellaneous scalar resources available on the platform along with
+        their quantities::
+	  $ cat misc.capacity
+	  sev 50
+	  sev_es 10
+
+  misc.current
+        A read-only flat-keyed file shown in the non-root cgroups.  It shows
+        the current usage of the resources in the cgroup and its children.::
+	  $ cat misc.current
+	  sev 3
+	  sev_es 0
+
+  misc.max
+        A read-write flat-keyed file shown in the non root cgroups. Allowed
+        maximum usage of the resources in the cgroup and its children.::
+	  $ cat misc.max
+	  sev max
+	  sev_es 4
+
+	Limit can be set by::
+	  # echo sev 1 > misc.max
+
+	Limit can be set to max by::
+	  # echo sev max > misc.max
+
+        Limits can be set more than the capacity value in the misc.capacity
+        file.
+
+Migration and Ownership
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A miscellaneous scalar resource is charged to the cgroup in which it is used
+first, and stays charged to that cgroup until that resource is freed. Migrating
+a process to a different cgroup do not move the charge to the destination
+cgroup where the process has moved.

I think that the first 3 warnings are due to missing a blank line after ::
or they could have something to do with mixed tabs and spaces in the misc.*
properties descriptions.

This new controller has both cgroup v1 and v2 support. Tejun suggested
if we can point to v2 doc from v1. If this is not recommended approach I
can add all of the v2 documention of misc controller here, let me know.

I missed a heading and adding this file in cgroup-v1/index.rst.
Fixed it now.

Sorry, I was not familiar with Sphinx build and didn't build using that.
I have fixed all of the above warnings. My next patch will reflect
fixes.

Please don't refer to this as "allocation" anywhere, that has a specific
meaning (see Resource Distribution Models in
Documentation/admin-gruide/cgroup-v2.rst).

Interesting generalization. I wonder what else could fit under this as
well. (It resembles pids controller on the cover.)

A new controller is added exposed with v1 attributes. I'm not convinced
it is desirable to change the frozen v1 controllers' API? (And therefore
promote it as well.)

Beware, bikeshedding. The name is very non-descriptive, potentially
suggesting catch-all semantics. It'd deserve a further thought. My idea
would be limit(s) or counter controller.


My few cents here (and some more in reply to the patch),
Michal

Yeah, it should be "Limits". I will update the text.

This is a very trivial controller. I believe once it becomes public it
can be helpful down the line to the v1 users, who cannot use v2 yet, for
some simple resource accounting, like us, we have the need for ASIDs
accounting in v1 until we move to v2. If the community has strong
objection then I can remove v1 support.

Limit and counter are kind of suggesting the underlying technique for
accounting instead of a generic name to denote resource types managed by
this controller. One can argue that if top level names are similar to
Resource Destribution Model then may be it makes sense to combine
resources with similar accounting technique under one controller.

I am looking at misc as a controller which is for resources not having
proper home in other controllers or not big enough to deserve their own
controller.

I agree with you coming up with a name which check all boxes of
requirements won't be possible. We have discussed name sev cgroup,
kvm cgroup, encryption_id cgroup before reaching to an agreement on misc
cgroup. I am open to other names if they are better suited for this
controller and makes more sense.

Thanks
