[Devel] [PATCH] introduce task cgroup v2

KOSAKI Motohiro kosaki.motohiro at jp.fujitsu.com
Sat Jun 7 04:00:00 PDT 2008


ChangeLog
========================================
v1 -> v2
  o implement can_attach() and attach() method.
  o remvoe can_fork member from cgroup_subsys.
    instead, copy_process() call task_cgroup_can_fork() directly.
  o fixed dead lock bug.
  o add Documentation/contoroller/task.txt


benefit
========================================
1. prevent fork bomb.

We already have "/prox/sys/kernel/threads-max".
but it isn't perfect solution.
because threads-max prevent any process creation.
then, System-administrator can't login and restore trouble.

task limit cgroup is better solution.
it can prevent fork by network service daemon, but allow fork by interactive process.


2. help implement batch processing

in general, batch processing environment need support #task limit.
this patch help implement it.


usage
========================================

# mount -t cgroup -o task none /dev/cgroup
# mkdir /dev/cgroup/foo
# cd /dev/cgroup/foo
# ls 
notify_on_release  task.max_tasks  task.nr_tasks  tasks
# echo 100 > task.max_tasks
# echo $$ > tasks
# fork_bomb 1000 &  <- try create 1000 process
# pgrep fork_bomb | wc -l
98
