PATCH 1/3 taskstats: separate PID/TGID stats producers to complete the TGID ones

TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_TGID used to return only the delay accounting stats, not the basic and extended accounting. With this patch, TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_TGID also aggregates the accounting info for all threads of a thread group.

TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID output should be unchanged TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_TGID output should have all fields set, unlike before the patch where most of the fiels were set to 0.

To this aim, two functions were introduced: fill_threadgroup() and add_tsk(). These functions are responsible for aggregating the subsystem specific accounting information. Taskstats requesters (fill_pid(), fill_tgid() and fill_tgid_exit()) should only call add_tsk() and fill_threadgroup() to get the stats.

PATCH 2/3 taskstats: tell fill_thread_group() whether it replies with PID or TGID stats

fill_thread_group() may want to know if it is filling TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_TGID or TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID stats, so give it this information in the tg_stats boolean.

PATCH 3/3 taskstats: fix stats->ac_exitcode to work on threads and use group_exit_code

In reply to Guillaume Chazarain

Threads also have an exit code on their own, so report it in TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID.

For TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_TGID, instead of relying only on the exit code of the leader, we use task->signal->group_exit_code if not null as suggested by Oleg Nesterov.

Also, document that as of this patch, fill_threadgroup() must be called after add_tsk() as it may overwrite some stats.

TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_TGID used to return only the delay accounting stats, not the basic and extended accounting. With this patch, TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_TGID also aggregates the accounting info for all threads of a thread group.

TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID output should be unchanged TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_TGID output should have all fields set, unlike before the patch where most of the fiels were set to 0.

To this aim, two functions were introduced: fill_threadgroup() and add_tsk(). These functions are responsible for aggregating the subsystem specific accounting information. Taskstats requesters (fill_pid(), fill_tgid() and fill_tgid_exit()) should only call add_tsk() and fill_threadgroup() to get the stats.

Hi Balbir,

Thank for your review, hopefully I addressed all your items in this series.

So we always call fill_threadgroup later, is there a reason for that. Can the order of calls be arbitrary or is there a dependency?

Yes, as you saw there is this dependency, it is needed only for
[PATCH 7/8] taskstats: fix stats->ac_exitcode to work on threads and use group_exit_code but I found it simpler to put the calls in the right order from the beginning.

Thanks again, and sorry for the double mail bomb.
