[PATCH 3/3] cgroup : remove the ns_cgroup

Serge E. Hallyn serge.hallyn at canonical.com
Thu Jul 29 12:58:12 PDT 2010


The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier.

For example, a single process can not handle a big amount of namespaces
without interacting with this cgroup and falling in an exponential creation
time due to the nested cgroup directory depth (eg. /cgroup/<pid>/.../<pid>/...).

That was spotted when creating a single process using multiple network namespaces,
the objective was 4096 network namespaces, but at 820 netns, the creation time
was dramatically slow and the creation time for a namespace increased from 10msec
to 10sec. After five hours, the expected numbers of netns was not reached.
Without the ns_cgroup interaction, 4K netns are created after 2 minutes.

In order to solve that, we have to mount the cgroup with all the subsystems
except the ns_cgroup, it's a little weird and hard to manage from an administration
pov because we have to know what are the cgroup available on the system and we
can't do a simple 'mount -t cgroup cgroup /cgroup'.

With the previous patch which adds a 'clone_children' parameter to a cgroup,
we should be able to remove the ns_cgroup and manage manually the creation +
adding a task to the cgroup consistenly with the rest of the subsystems.

This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html

The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.

Changelog: Jul 29 (seh): remove references to ns_cgroup_clone(), fix up
	   some documentation, and remove CONFIG_CGROUP_NS references.
