NAME

resource_controls - resource controls available through pro-

ject database

DESCRIPTION

The resource controls facility is configured through the project database. See project(4). You can set and modify resource controls through the following utilities: o prctl(1) o projadd(1M) o projmod(1M) o rctladm(1M) In a program, you use setrctl(2) to set resource control values. In addition to the preceding resource controls, there are resource pools, accessible through the pooladm(1M) and poolcfg(1M) utilities. In a program, resource pools can be manipulated through the libpool(3LIB) library. The following are the resource controls are available:

process.max-address-space

Scaled values can be used with resource controls. The fol-

lowing example shows a scaled threshold value:

task.max-lwps=(priv,1K,deny)

In the project file, the value 1K is expanded to 1000:

task.max-lwps=(priv,1000,deny)

A second example uses a larger scaled value:

process.max-file-size=(priv,5G,deny)

In the project file, the value 5G is expanded to 5368709120:

process.max-file-size=(priv,5368709120,deny)

The preceding examples use the scaling factors specified in the table above. Note that unit modifiers (for example, 5G) are accepted by the prctl(1), projadd(1M), and projmod(1M) commands. You cannot use unit modifiers in the project database itself. Resource Control Values and Privilege Levels A threshold value on a resource control constitutes a point at which local actions can be triggered or global actions, such as logging, can occur.

Each threshold value on a resource control must be associ-

ated with a privilege level. The privilege level must be one of the following three types: basic Can be modified by the owner of the calling process. privileged Can be modified by the current process (requiring

sys_resource privilege) or by prctl(1) (requiring

proc_owner privilege).

system Fixed for the duration of the operating system instance. A resource control is guaranteed to have one system value, which is defined by the system, or resource provider. The system value represents how much of the resource the current

implementation of the operating system is capable of provid-

ing. Any number of privileged values can be defined, and only one basic value is allowed. Operations that are performed without specifying a privilege value are assigned a basic privilege by default. The privilege level for a resource control value is defined in the privilege field of the resource control block as

RCTL_BASIC, RCTL_PRIVILEGED, or RCTL_SYSTEM. See setrctl(2)

SunOS 5.11 Last change: 29 Jun 2010 8

Standards, Environments, and Macros resource_controls(5)

for more information. You can use the prctl command to modify values that are associated with basic and privileged levels. In specifying the privilege level of privileged, you can use the abbreviation priv. For example:

task.max-lwps=(priv,1K,deny)

Global and Local Actions on Resource Control Values There are two categories of actions on resource control values: global and local. Global actions apply to resource control values for every resource control on the system. You can use rctladm(1M) to perform the following actions: o Display the global state of active system resource controls. o Set global logging actions. You can disable or enable the global logging action on resource controls. You can set the syslog action to a specific degree by assigning a severity level, syslog=level. The possible settings for level are as follows: o debug o info o notice o warning o err o crit o alert o emerg By default, there is no global logging of resource control violations.

Standards, Environments, and Macros resource_controls(5)

Local actions are taken on a process that attempts to exceed the control value. For each threshold value that is placed on a resource control, you can associate one or more actions. There are three types of local actions: none, deny, and signal=. These three actions are used as follows: none No action is taken on resource requests for an amount

that is greater than the threshold. This action is use-

ful for monitoring resource usage without affecting the progress of applications. You can also enable a global message that displays when the resource control is exceeded, while, at the same time, the process exceeding the threshhold is not affected. deny You can deny resource requests for an amount that is

greater than the threshold. For example, a task.max-lwps

resource control with action deny causes a fork() system call to fail if the new process would exceed the control value. See the fork(2). signal= You can enable a global signal message action when the resource control is exceeded. A signal is sent to the process when the threshold value is exceeded. Additional signals are not sent if the process consumes additional resources. Available signals are listed below.

Not all of the actions can be applied to every resource con-

trol. For example, a process cannot exceed the number of CPU shares assigned to the project of which it is a member.

Therefore, a deny action is not allowed on the project.cpu-

shares resource control. Due to implementation restrictions, the global properties of each control can restrict the range of available actions that can be set on the threshold value. (See rctladm(1M).) A

list of available signal actions is presented in the follow-

ing list. For additional information about signals, see signal(3HEAD).

The following are the signals available to resource control values: SIGABRT Terminate the process. SIGHUP Send a hangup signal. Occurs when carrier drops on an

open line. Signal sent to the process group that con-

trols the terminal. SIGTERM Terminate the process. Termination signal sent by software. SIGKILL Terminate the process and kill the program. SIGSTOP Stop the process. Job control signal. SIGXRES Resource control limit exceeded. Generated by resource control facility. SIGXFSZ

Terminate the process. File size limit exceeded. Avail-

able only to resource controls with the

RCTL_GLOBAL_FILE_SIZE property (process.max-file-size).

See rctlblk_set_value(3C).

SIGXCPU

Terminate the process. CPU time limit exceeded. Avail-

able only to resource controls with the

RCTL_GLOBAL_CPUTIME property (process.max-cpu-time). See

rctlblk_set_value(3C).

Resource Control Flags and Properties Each resource control on the system has a certain set of associated properties. This set of properties is defined as a set of flags, which are associated with all controlled instances of that resource. Global flags cannot be modified, but the flags can be retrieved by using either rctladm(1M) or the setrctl(2) system call. Local flags define the default behavior and configuration for a specific threshold value of that resource control on a specific process or process collective. The local flags for one threshold value do not affect the behavior of other

defined threshold values for the same resource control. How-

ever, the global flags affect the behavior for every value associated with a particular control. Local flags can be modified, within the constraints supplied by their corresponding global flags, by the prctl command or the setrctl system call. See setrctl(2). For the complete list of local flags, global flags, and

their definitions, see rctlblk_set_value(3C).

To determine system behavior when a threshold value for a particular resource control is reached, use rctladm to display the global flags for the resource control . For

example, to display the values for process.max-cpu-time,

enter:

$ rctladm process.max-cpu-time

process.max-cpu-time syslog=off [ lowerable no-deny cpu-time inf seconds ]

The global flags indicate the following: lowerable Superuser privileges are not required to lower the privileged values for this control.

no-deny

Even when threshold values are exceeded, access to the resource is never denied.

SIGXCPU is available to be sent when threshold values of this resource are reached. seconds The time value for the resource control. Use the prctl command to display local values and actions for the resource control. For example:

$ prctl -n process.max-cpu-time $$

process 353939: -ksh

NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT

process.max-cpu-time

privileged 18.4Es inf signal=XCPU -

system 18.4Es inf none

The max (RCTL_LOCAL_MAXIMAL) flag is set for both threshold

values, and the inf (RCTL_GLOBAL_INFINITE) flag is defined

for this resource control. An inf value has an infinite quantity. The value is never enforced. Hence, as configured, both threshold quantities represent infinite values that are never exceeded. Resource Control Enforcement More than one resource control can exist on a resource. A resource control can exist at each containment level in the process model. If resource controls are active on the same resource at different container levels, the smallest container's control is enforced first. Thus, action is taken

on process.max-cpu-time before task.max-cpu-time if both

controls are encountered simultaneously.
