MAJOR CHANGES in v6 (see details below): - configfs interface instead of syscalls (as wanted by CKRM people...) - added numfiles resource accounting - added numtasks resource accounting
numfiles and numtasks controllers demonstrate how clean and simple BC interface is. Patch set is applicable to 2.6.19-rc5-mm1 ----------------------------------------------------- Resource BeanCounters (BC). BC allows to account and control consumption of kernel resources used by *group* of processes (users, containers, ...). Draft BC description on OpenVZ wiki can be found at http://wiki.openvz.org/UBC_parameters The full BC patch set allows to control: - kernel memory. All the kernel objects allocatable on user demand and not reclaimable should be accounted and limited for DoS protection. e.g. page tables, task structs, vmas etc. - virtual memory pages. BCs allow to limit a container to some amount of memory and introduces 2-level OOM killer taking into account container's consumption. pages shared between containers are correctly charged as fractions (tunable). - network buffers. These includes TCP/IP rcv/snd buffers, dgram snd buffers, unix, netlinks and other buffers. - minor resources accounted/limited by number: tasks, files, flocks, ptys, siginfo, pinned dcache mem, sockets, iptentries (for containers with virtualized networking) Summary of changes from v5 patch set: * configfs interface instead of syscalls (as wanted by CKRM people) * added numfiles resource accounting * added numtasks resource accounting * introduced dummy_resource to handle case when no resource registered * calls to rss accounting are integrated to rmap calls Summary of changes from v4 patch set: * changed set of resources - kmemsize, privvmpages, physpages * added event hooks for resources (init, limit hit etc) * added user pages reclamation (bc_try_to_free_pages) * removed pages sharing accounting - charge to first user * task now carries only one BC pointer, simplified * make set_bcid syscall move arbitrary task into BC * resources are not recharged when task moves * each vm_area_struct carries a BC pointer Summary of changes from v3 patch set: * Added basic user pages accounting (lockedpages/privvmpages) * spell in Kconfig * Makefile reworked * EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL * union w/o name in struct page * bc_task_charge is void now * adjust minheld/maxheld splitted Summary of changes from v2 patch set: * introduced atomic_dec_and_lock_irqsave() * bc_adjust_held_minmax comment * added __must_check for bc_*charge* funcs * use hash_long() instead of own one * bc/Kconfig is sourced from init/Kconfig now * introduced bcid_t type with comment from Alan Cox * check for barrier <= limit in sys_set_bclimit() * removed (bc == NULL) checks * replaced memcpy in beancounter_findcrate with assignment * moved check 'if (mask & BC_ALLOC)' out of the lock * removed unnecessary memset() Summary of changes from v1 patch set: * CONFIG_BEANCOUNTERS is 'n' by default * fixed Kconfig includes in arches * removed hierarchical beancounters to simplify first patchset * removed unused 'private' pointer * removed unused EXPORTS * MAXVALUE redeclared as LONG_MAX * beancounter_findcreate clarification * renamed UBC -> BC, ub -> bc etc. * moved BC inheritance into copy_process * introduced reset_exec_bc() with proposed BUG_ON * removed task_bc beancounter (not used yet, for numproc) * fixed syscalls for sparc * added sys_get_bcstat(): return info that was in /proc * cond_syscall instead of #ifdefs Many thanks to Oleg Nesterov, Alan Cox, Matt Helsley and others for patch review and comments.
