Changes since last:
- switch to per session vs tty
- make autogroups visible in /proc/sched_debug
- make autogroups visible in /proc/<pid>/autogroup
- add nice level bandwidth tweakability to /proc/<pid>/autogroup
Modulo "kill it" debate outcome...
A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has a negative
impact on desktop interactivity. This patch implements an idea from Linus,
to automatically create task groups. This patch only per session autogroups,
but leaves the way open for enhancement.
Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited pointer to a
refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group pointer, the default for
all tasks pointing to the init_task_group. When a task calls setsid(), the
process wide reference to the default group is dropped, a new task group is
created, and the process is moved into the new task group. Children thereafter
inherit this task group, and increase it's refcount. On exit, a reference to the
current task group is dropped when the last reference to each signal struct is
dropped. The task group is destroyed when the last signal struct referencing
it is freed. At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment,
it's current autogroup is used.
Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level through the
proc filesystem. cat /proc/<pid>/autogroup displays the task's group and
the group's nice level. echo <nice level> > /proc/<pid>/autogroup sets the
task group's shares to the weight of nice <level> task. Setting nice level
is rate limited for !admin users due to the abuse risk of task group locking.
The feature is enabled from boot by default if CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP is
selected, but can be disabled via the boot option noautogroup, and can be
also be turned on/off on the fly via..
echo [01] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled.
..which will automatically move tasks to/from the root task group.
