An accounting +group accumulates the CPU usage of all of its child groups and the tasks +directly present in its group. + +Accounting groups can be created by first mounting the cgroup filesystem. + +# mkdir /cgroups +# mount -t cgroup -ocpuacct none /cgroups + +With the above step, the initial or the parent accounting group +becomes visible at /cgroups. At bootup, this group includes all the +tasks in the system. /cgroups/tasks lists the tasks in this cgroup. +/cgroups/cpuacct.usage gives the CPU time (in nanoseconds) obtained by +this group which is essentially the CPU time obtained by all the tasks +in the system. + +New accounting groups can be created under the parent group /cgroups. + +# cd /cgroups +# mkdir g1 +# echo $$ > g1 + +The above steps create a new group g1 and move the current shell +process (bash) into it. CPU time consumed by this bash and its children +can be obtained from g1/cpuacct.usage and the same is accumulated in +/cgroups/cpuacct.usage also. diff --git a/kernel/sched.c b/kernel/sched.c index 59db86c..ebaf432 100644 --- a/kernel/sched.c +++ b/kernel/sched.c @@ -9196,11 +9196,12 @@ struct cgroup_subsys cpu_cgroup_subsys = { * (balbir@in.ibm.com). */ -/* track cpu usage of a group of tasks */ +/* track cpu usage of a group of tasks and its child groups */ struct cpuacct { struct cgroup_subsys_state css; /* cpuusage holds pointer to a u64-type object on every cpu */ u64 *cpuusage; + struct cpuacct *parent; }; struct cgroup_subsys cpuacct_subsys; @@ -9234,6 +9235,9 @@ static struct cgroup_subsys_state *cpuacct_create( return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); } + if (cgrp->parent) + ca->parent = cgroup_ca(cgrp->parent); + return &ca->css; } @@ -9313,14 +9317,16 @@ static int cpuacct_populate(struct cgroup_subsys *ss, struct cgroup *cgrp) static void cpuacct_charge(struct task_struct *tsk, u64 cputime) { struct cpuacct *ca; + int cpu; if (!cpuacct_subsys.active) return; + cpu = task_cpu(tsk); ca = task_ca(tsk); - if (ca) { - u64 *cpuusage = percpu_ptr(ca->cpuusage, task_cpu(tsk)); + for (; ca; ca = ca->parent) { + u64 *cpuusage = percpu_ptr(ca->cpuusage, cpu); *cpuusage += cputime; } } |
