141891f SMB3: Add mount parameter to allow user to override max credits Add mount option "max_credits" to allow setting maximum SMB3 credits to any value from 10 to 64000 (default is 32000). This can be useful to workaround servers with problems allocating credits, or to throttle the client to use smaller amount of simultaneous i/o or to workaround server performance issues. Also adds a cap, so that even if the server granted us more than 65000 credits due to a server bug, we would not use that many.

52ace1e fs/cifs: reopen persistent handles on reconnect Continuous Availability features like persistent handles require that clients reconnect their open files, not just the sessions, soon after the network connection comes back up, otherwise the server will throw away the state (byte range locks, leases, deny modes) on those handles after a timeout.

3afca26 Clarify locking of cifs file and tcon structures and make more granular Remove the global file_list_lock to simplify cifs/smb3 locking and have spinlocks that more closely match the information they are protecting. Add new tcon->open_file_lock and file->file_info_lock spinlocks. Locks continue to follow a heirachy, cifs_socket --> cifs_ses --> cifs_tcon --> cifs_file where global tcp_ses_lock still protects socket and cifs_ses, while the the newer locks protect the lower level structure's information (tcon and cifs_file respectively).

7d414f3 cifs: Limit the overall credit acquired The kernel client requests 2 credits for many operations even though they only use 1 credit (presumably to build up a buffer of credit). Some servers seem to give the client as much credit as is requested. In this case, the amount of credit the client has continues increasing to the point where (server->credits * MAX_BUFFER_SIZE) overflows in smb2_wait_mtu_credits(). Fix this by throttling the credit requests if an set limit is reached. For async requests where the credit charge may be > 1, request as much credit as what is charged. The limit is chosen somewhat arbitrarily. The Windows client defaults to 128 credits, the Windows server allows clients up to 512 credits (or 8192 for Windows 2016), and the NetApp server (and at least one other) does not limit clients at all. Choose a high enough value such that the client shouldn't limit performance. This behavior was seen with a NetApp filer (NetApp Release 9.0RC2).

9c5d760 mm: split gfp_mask and mapping flags into separate fields mapping->flags currently encodes two different things into a single flag. It contains sticky gfp_mask for page cache allocations and AS_ codes used to report errors/enospace and other states which are mapping specific. Condensing the two semantically unrelated things saves few bytes but it also complicates other things. For one thing the gfp flags space is reduced and in fact we are already running out of available bits. It can be assumed that more gfp flags will be necessary later on.

dbf5268 kthread: better support freezable kthread workers This patch allows to make kthread worker freezable via a new @flags parameter. It will allow to avoid an init work in some kthreads. It currently does not affect the function of kthread_worker_fn() but it might help to do some optimization or fixes eventually. I currently do not know about any other use for the @flags parameter but I believe that we will want more flags in the future. Finally, I hope that it will not cause confusion with @flags member in struct kthread. Well, I guess that we will want to rework the basic kthreads implementation once all kthreads are converted into kthread workers or workqueues. It is possible that we will merge the two structures.

9a6b06c kthread: allow to modify delayed kthread work There are situations when we need to modify the delay of a delayed kthread work. For example, when the work depends on an event and the initial delay means a timeout. Then we want to queue the work immediately when the event happens. This patch implements kthread_mod_delayed_work() as inspired workqueues. It cancels the timer, removes the work from any worker list and queues it again with the given timeout. A very special case is when the work is being canceled at the same time. It might happen because of the regular kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync() or by another kthread_mod_delayed_work(). In this case, we do nothing and let the other operation win. This should not normally happen as the caller is supposed to synchronize these operations a reasonable way.

37be45d kthread: allow to cancel kthread work We are going to use kthread workers more widely and sometimes we will need to make sure that the work is neither pending nor running. This patch implements cancel_*_sync() operations as inspired by workqueues. Well, we are synchronized against the other operations via the worker lock, we use del_timer_sync() and a counter to count parallel cancel operations. Therefore the implementation might be easier. First, we check if a worker is assigned. If not, the work has newer been queued after it was initialized. Second, we take the worker lock. It must be the right one. The work must not be assigned to another worker unless it is initialized in between. Third, we try to cancel the timer when it exists. The timer is deleted synchronously to make sure that the timer call back is not running. We need to temporary release the worker->lock to avoid a possible deadlock with the callback. In the meantime, we set work->canceling counter to avoid any queuing. Fourth, we try to remove the work from a worker list. It might be the list of either normal or delayed works. Fifth, if the work is running, we call kthread_flush_work(). It might take an arbitrary time. We need to release the worker-lock again. In the meantime, we again block any queuing by the canceling counter. As already mentioned, the check for a pending kthread work is done under a lock. In compare with workqueues, we do not need to fight for a single PENDING bit to block other operations. Therefore we do not suffer from the thundering storm problem and all parallel canceling jobs might use kthread_flush_work(). Any queuing is blocked until the counter gets zero.

22597dc kthread: initial support for delayed kthread work We are going to use kthread_worker more widely and delayed works will be pretty useful. The implementation is inspired by workqueues. It uses a timer to queue the work after the requested delay. If the delay is zero, the work is queued immediately. In compare with workqueues, each work is associated with a single worker (kthread). Therefore the implementation could be much easier. In particular, we use the worker->lock to synchronize all the operations with the work. We do not need any atomic operation with a flags variable. In fact, we do not need any state variable at all. Instead, we add a list of delayed works into the worker. Then the pending work is listed either in the list of queued or delayed works. And the existing check of pending works is the same even for the delayed ones. A work must not be assigned to another worker unless reinitialized. Therefore the timer handler might expect that dwork->work->worker is valid and it could simply take the lock. We just add some sanity checks to help with debugging a potential misuse.

8197b3d kthread: detect when a kthread work is used by more workers Nothing currently prevents a work from queuing for a kthread worker when it is already running on another one. This means that the work might run in parallel on more than one worker. Also some operations are not reliable, e.g. flush. This problem will be even more visible after we add kthread_cancel_work() function. It will only have "work" as the parameter and will use worker->lock to synchronize with others. Well, normally this is not a problem because the API users are sane. But bugs might happen and users also might be crazy. This patch adds a warning when we try to insert the work for another worker. It does not fully prevent the misuse because it would make the code much more complicated without a big benefit. It adds the same warning also into kthread_flush_work() instead of the repeated attempts to get the right lock. A side effect is that one needs to explicitly reinitialize the work if it must be queued into another worker. This is needed, for example, when the worker is stopped and started again. It is a bit inconvenient. But it looks like a good compromise between the stability and complexity. I have double checked all existing users of the kthread worker API and they all seems to initialize the work after the worker gets started. Just for completeness, the patch adds a check that the work is not already in a queue. The patch also puts all the checks into a separate function. It will be reused when implementing delayed works.

fbae2d4 kthread: add kthread_create_worker*() Kthread workers are currently created using the classic kthread API, namely kthread_run(). kthread_worker_fn() is passed as the @threadfn parameter. This patch defines kthread_create_worker() and kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() functions that hide implementation details. They enforce using kthread_worker_fn() for the main thread. But I doubt that there are any plans to create any alternative. In fact, I think that we do not want any alternative main thread because it would be hard to support consistency with the rest of the kthread worker API. The naming and function of kthread_create_worker() is inspired by the workqueues API like the rest of the kthread worker API. The kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() variant is motivated by the original kthread_create_on_cpu(). Note that we need to bind per-CPU kthread workers already when they are created. It makes the life easier. kthread_bind() could not be used later for an already running worker. This patch does _not_ convert existing kthread workers. The kthread worker API need more improvements first, e.g. a function to destroy the worker. IMPORTANT: kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() allows to use any format of the worker name, in compare with kthread_create_on_cpu(). The good thing is that it is more generic. The bad thing is that most users will need to pass the cpu number in two parameters, e.g. kthread_create_worker_on_cpu(cpu, "helper/%d", cpu). To be honest, the main motivation was to avoid the need for an empty va_list. The only legal way was to create a helper function that would be called with an empty list. Other attempts caused compilation warnings or even errors on different architectures. There were also other alternatives, for example, using #define or splitting __kthread_create_worker(). The used solution looked like the least ugly.

a65d409 kthread/smpboot: do not park in kthread_create_on_cpu() kthread_create_on_cpu() was added by the commit 2a1d446019f9a5983e ("kthread: Implement park/unpark facility"). It is currently used only when enabling new CPU. For this purpose, the newly created kthread has to be parked. The CPU binding is a bit tricky. The kthread is parked when the CPU has not been allowed yet. And the CPU is bound when the kthread is unparked. The function would be useful for more per-CPU kthreads, e.g. bnx2fc_thread, fcoethread. For this purpose, the newly created kthread should stay in the uninterruptible state. This patch moves the parking into smpboot. It binds the thread already when created. Then the function might be used universally. Also the behavior is consistent with kthread_create() and kthread_create_on_node().

3989144 kthread: kthread worker API cleanup A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name of the subsystem. The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues. Each worker has a dedicated kthread. It runs a generic function that process queued works. It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem. This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by kthread_: __init_kthread_worker() -> __kthread_init_worker() init_kthread_worker() -> kthread_init_worker() init_kthread_work() -> kthread_init_work() insert_kthread_work() -> kthread_insert_work() queue_kthread_work() -> kthread_queue_work() flush_kthread_work() -> kthread_flush_work() flush_kthread_worker() -> kthread_flush_worker() Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has precedence over the subsystem names. Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several reasons for this solution: + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize" aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer". + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros + init() functions are used close to the other kthread() functions. It looks much better if all the functions use the same scheme. + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related to the init() function. Again it looks better if all functions use the same naming scheme. + there are several precedents for such init() function names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(), jump_label_init_type(), regmap_init_mmio_clk(), + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

9099dae mm: kmemleak: avoid using __va() on addresses that don't have a lowmem mapping Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a physical address to a virtual one using __va(). However, such physical addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak. The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take a physical address as the object pointer. They only perform the corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping: kmemleak_alloc_phys kmemleak_free_part_phys kmemleak_not_leak_phys kmemleak_ignore_phys The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak API.

2a1613a ipc/sem.c: add cond_resched in exit_sme In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel a softlockup was observed while the for loop in exit_sem. Apparently it's possible for the loop to take quite a long time and it doesn't have a scheduling point in it. Since the codes is executing under an rcu read section this may also cause rcu stalls, which in turn block synchronize_rcu operations, which more or less de-stabilises the whole system. Fix this by introducing a cond_resched() at the beginning of the loop. So this patch fixes the following: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#10 stuck for 23s!

ed27f91 ipc/msg: avoid waking sender upon full queue Blocked tasks queued in q_senders waiting for their message to fit in the queue are blindly awoken every time we think there's a remote chance this might happen. This could cause numerous (and expensive -- thundering herd-ish) bogus wakeups if the queue is still really full. Adding to the scheduling cost/overhead, there's also the fact that we need to take the ipc object lock and requeue ourselves in the q_senders list. By keeping track of the blocked sender's message size, we can know previously if the wakeup ought to occur or not. Otherwise, to maintain the current wakeup order we just move it to the tail. This is exactly what occurs right now if the sender needs to go back to sleep. The case of EIDRM is left completely untouched, as we need to wakeup all the tasks, and shouldn't be playing games in the first place. This patch was seen to save on the 'msgctl10' ltp testcase ~15% in context switches (avg out of ten runs). Although these tests are really about functionality (as opposed to performance), is does show the direct benefits of the optimization.

e365853 ipc/msg: batch queue sender wakeups Currently the use of wake_qs in sysv msg queues are only for the receiver tasks that are blocked on the queue. But blocked sender tasks (due to queue size constraints) still are awoken with the ipc object lock held, which can be a problem particularly for small sized queues and far from gracious for -rt (just like it was for the receiver side). The paths that actually wakeup a sender are obviously related to when we are either getting rid of the queue or after (some) space is freed-up after a receiver takes the msg (msgrcv). Furthermore, with the exception of msgrcv, we can always piggy-back on expunge_all that has its own tasks lined-up for waking. Finally, upon unlinking the message, it should be no problem delaying the wakeups a bit until after we've released the lock.

ee51636 ipc/msg: implement lockless pipelined wakeups This patch moves the wakeup_process() invocation so it is not done under the ipc global lock by making use of a lockless wake_q. With this change, the waiter is woken up once the message has been assigned and it does not need to loop on SMP if the message points to NULL. In the signal case we still need to check the pointer under the lock to verify the state. This change should also avoid the introduction of preempt_disable() in -RT which avoids a busy-loop which pools for the NULL -> !NULL change if the waiter has a higher priority compared to the waker. By making use of wake_qs, the logic of sysv msg queues is greatly simplified (and very well suited as we can batch lockless wakeups), particularly around the lockless receive algorithm.

5864a2f ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race Commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") introduced a race: sem_lock has a fast path that allows parallel simple operations. There are two reasons why a simple operation cannot run in parallel: - a non-simple operations is ongoing (sma->sem_perm.lock held) - a complex operation is sleeping (sma->complex_count != 0) As both facts are stored independently, a thread can bypass the current checks by sleeping in the right positions. See below for more details (or kernel bugzilla 105651). The patch fixes that by creating one variable (complex_mode) that tracks both reasons why parallel operations are not possible. The patch also updates stale documentation regarding the locking. With regards to stable kernels: The patch is required for all kernels that include the commit 6d07b68ce16a ("ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()") (3.10?) The alternative is to revert the patch that introduced the race. The patch is safe for backporting, i.e. it makes no assumptions about memory barriers in spin_unlock_wait(). Background: Here is the race of the current implementation: Thread A: (simple op) - does the first "sma->complex_count == 0" test Thread B: (complex op) - does sem_lock(): This includes an array scan. But the scan can't find Thread A, because Thread A does not own sem->lock yet. - the thread does the operation, increases complex_count, drops sem_lock, sleeps Thread A: - spin_lock(&sem->lock), spin_is_locked(sma->sem_perm.lock) - sleeps before the complex_count test Thread C: (complex op) - does sem_lock (no array scan, complex_count==1) - wakes up Thread B. - decrements complex_count Thread A: - does the complex_count test Bug: Now both thread A and thread C operate on the same array, without any synchronization.

26b5679 relay: Use irq_work instead of plain timer for deferred wakeup Relay avoids calling wake_up_interruptible() for doing the wakeup of readers/consumers, waiting for the generation of new data, from the context of a process which produced the data. This is apparently done to prevent the possibility of a deadlock in case Scheduler itself is is generating data for the relay, after acquiring rq->lock. The following patch used a timer (to be scheduled at next jiffy), for delegating the wakeup to another context. commit 7c9cb38302e78d24e37f7d8a2ea7eed4ae5f2fa7 Author: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@comcast.net> Date: Wed May 9 02:34:01 2007 -0700 relay: use plain timer instead of delayed work relay doesn't need to use schedule_delayed_work() for waking readers when a simple timer will do. Scheduling a plain timer, at next jiffies boundary, to do the wakeup causes a significant wakeup latency for the Userspace client, which makes relay less suitable for the high-frequency low-payload use cases where the data gets generated at a very high rate, like multiple sub buffers getting filled within a milli second. Moreover the timer is re-scheduled on every newly produced sub buffer so the timer keeps getting pushed out if sub buffers are filled in a very quick succession (less than a jiffy gap between filling of 2 sub buffers). As a result relay runs out of sub buffers to store the new data. By using irq_work it is ensured that wakeup of userspace client, blocked in the poll call, is done at earliest (through self IPI or next timer tick) enabling it to always consume the data in time. Also this makes relay consistent with printk & ring buffers (trace), as they too use irq_work for deferred wake up of readers.

54c721b mips/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly version in panic path Daniel Walker reported problems which happens when crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel option is enabled (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/24/44). In that case, smp_send_stop() is called before entering kdump routines which assume other CPUs are still online. As the result, kdump routines fail to save other CPUs' registers. Additionally for MIPS OCTEON, it misses to stop the watchdog timer. To fix this problem, call a new kdump friendly function, crash_smp_send_stop(), instead of the smp_send_stop() when crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled. crash_smp_send_stop() is a weak function, and it just call smp_send_stop(). Architecture codes should override it so that kdump can work appropriately. This patch provides MIPS version.

In that case, smp_send_stop() is called before entering kdump routines which assume other CPUs are still online. As the result, for x86, kdump routines fail to save other CPUs' registers and disable virtualization extensions. To fix this problem, call a new kdump friendly function, crash_smp_send_stop(), instead of the smp_send_stop() when crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled. crash_smp_send_stop() is a weak function, and it just call smp_send_stop(). Architecture codes should override it so that kdump can work appropriately. This patch only provides x86-specific version. For Xen's PV kernel, just keep the current behavior. NOTES: - Right solution would be to place crash_smp_send_stop() before __crash_kexec() invocation in all cases and remove smp_send_stop(), but we can't do that until all architectures implement own crash_smp_send_stop() - crash_smp_send_stop()-like work is still needed by machine_crash_shutdown() because crash_kexec() can be called without entering panic() Fixes: f06e5153f4ae (kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160810080948.11028.15344.stgit@sysi4-13.yrl.intra.hitachi.co.jp Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Reported-by: Daniel Walker <dwalker@fifo99.com> Cc: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Daniel Walker <dwalker@fifo99.com> Cc: Xunlei Pang <xpang@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: "H.

99fdafd random: simplify API for random address requests To date, all callers of randomize_range() have set the length to 0, and check for a zero return value. For the current callers, the only way to get zero returned is if end <= start. Since they are all adding a constant to the start address, this is unnecessary. We can remove a bunch of needless checks by simplifying the API to do just what everyone wants, return an address between [start, start + range). While we're here, s/get_random_int/get_random_long/. No current call site is adversely affected by get_random_int(), since all current range requests are < UINT_MAX. However, we should match caller expectations to avoid coming up short (ha!) in the future. All current callers to randomize_range() chose to use the start address if randomize_range() failed. Therefore, we simplify things by just returning the start address on error. randomize_range() will be removed once all callers have been converted over to randomize_addr().

Example scenario - attach "strace" to a running process and kill it (the strace) with SIGKILL. You'll see that the syscall trace hooks are still being called. The clearing of this flag should be moved from ptrace_detach() to __ptrace_detach().

086e774 pipe: cap initial pipe capacity according to pipe-max-size limit This is a patch that provides behavior that is more consistent, and probably less surprising to users. I consider the change optional, and welcome opinions about whether it should be applied. By default, pipes are created with a capacity of 64 kiB. However, /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size may be set smaller than this value. In this scenario, an unprivileged user could thus create a pipe whose initial capacity exceeds the limit. Therefore, it seems logical to cap the initial pipe capacity according to the value of pipe-max-size. The test program shown earlier in this patch series can be used to demonstrate the effect of the change brought about with this patch: # cat /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size 1048576 # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # cat /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size 16384 # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 Initial pipe capacity: 16384 # ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 The last two executions of 'test_F_SETPIPE_SZ' show that pipe-max-size caps the initial allocation for a new pipe for unprivileged users, but not for privileged users.

9c87bcf pipe: make account_pipe_buffers() return a value, and use it This is an optional patch, to provide a small performance improvement. Alter account_pipe_buffers() so that it returns the new value in user->pipe_bufs. This means that we can refactor too_many_pipe_buffers_soft() and too_many_pipe_buffers_hard() to avoid the costs of repeated use of atomic_long_read() to get the value user->pipe_bufs.

a005ca0 pipe: fix limit checking in alloc_pipe_info() The limit checking in alloc_pipe_info() (used by pipe(2) and when opening a FIFO) has the following problems: (1) When checking capacity required for the new pipe, the checks against the limit in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for the new pipe capacity. As a consequence: (1) the memory allocation throttling provided by the soft limit does not kick in quite as early as it should, and (2) the user can overrun the hard limit. (2) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the limits is done as follows: (a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit. (b) Make new pipe buffer allocation. (c) Account new allocation against the limits. This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously, and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step (c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting this point, which I had missed.] This patch addresses the above problems as follows: * Alter the checks against limits to include the memory required for the new pipe. * Re-order the accounting step so that it precedes the buffer allocation. If the accounting step determines that a limit has been reached, revert the accounting and cause the operation to fail.

b0b91d1 pipe: fix limit checking in pipe_set_size() The limit checking in pipe_set_size() (used by fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ)) has the following problems: (1) When increasing the pipe capacity, the checks against the limits in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for the increased pipe capacity. The new increase in pipe capacity can then push the total memory used by the user for pipes (possibly far) over a limit. This can also trigger the problem described next. (2) The limit checks are performed even when the new pipe capacity is less than the existing pipe capacity. This can lead to problems if a user sets a large pipe capacity, and then the limits are lowered, with the result that the user will no longer be able to decrease the pipe capacity. (3) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the limits is done as follows: (a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit. (b) Make new pipe buffer allocation. (c) Account new allocation against the limits. This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously, and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step (c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting this point, which I had missed.] This patch addresses the above problems as follows: * Perform checks against the limits only when increasing a pipe's capacity; an unprivileged user can always decrease a pipe's capacity. * Alter the checks against limits to include the memory required for the new pipe capacity. * Re-order the accounting step so that it precedes the buffer allocation. If the accounting step determines that a limit has been reached, revert the accounting and cause the operation to fail. The program below can be used to demonstrate problems 1 and 2, and the effect of the fix. The program takes one or more command-line arguments. The first argument specifies the number of pipes that the program should create. The remaining arguments are, alternately, pipe capacities that should be set using fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ), and sleep intervals (in seconds) between the fcntl() operations. (The sleep intervals allow the possibility to change the limits between fcntl() operations.) Problem 1 ========= Using the test program on an unpatched kernel, we first set some limits: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft # echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # 40.96 MB Then show that we can set a pipe with capacity (100MB) that is over the hard limit # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 100000000 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 134217728 Now set the capacity to 100MB twice. The second call fails (which is probably surprising to most users, since it seems like a no-op): # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 100000000 0 100000000 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 134217728 Loop 2: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes Loop 2, pipe 0: F_SETPIPE_SZ failed: fcntl: Operation not permitted With a patched kernel, setting a capacity over the limit fails at the first attempt: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft # echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 100000000 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes Loop 1, pipe 0: F_SETPIPE_SZ failed: fcntl: Operation not permitted There is a small chance that the change to fix this problem could break user-space, since there are cases where fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ) calls that previously succeeded might fail. However, the chances are small, since (a) the pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} limits are new (in 4.5), and the default soft/hard limits are high/unlimited. Therefore, it seems warranted to make these limits operate more precisely (and behave more like what users probably expect). Problem 2 ========= Running the test program on an unpatched kernel, we first set some limits: # getconf PAGESIZE 4096 # echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft # echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # 40.96 MB Now perform two fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ) operations on a single pipe, first setting a pipe capacity (10MB), sleeping for a few seconds, during which time the hard limit is lowered, and then set pipe capacity to a smaller amount (5MB): # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 10000000 15 5000000 & [1] 748 # Initial pipe capacity: 65536 Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 10000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 16777216 Sleeping 15 seconds # echo 1000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # 4.096 MB # Loop 2: set pipe capacity to 5000000 bytes Loop 2, pipe 0: F_SETPIPE_SZ failed: fcntl: Operation not permitted In this case, the user should be able to lower the limit. With a kernel that has the patch below, the second fcntl() succeeds: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft # echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 10000000 15 5000000 & [1] 3215 # Initial pipe capacity: 65536 # Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 10000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 16777216 Sleeping 15 seconds # echo 1000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # Loop 2: set pipe capacity to 5000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 8388608 8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x--- /* test_F_SETPIPE_SZ.c (C) 2016, Michael Kerrisk; licensed under GNU GPL version 2 or later Test operation of fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ) for setting pipe capacity and interactions with limits defined by /proc/sys/fs/pipe-* files. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int (*pfd)[2]; int npipes; int pcap, rcap; int j, p, s, stime, loop; if (argc < 2) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s num-pipes " "[pipe-capacity sleep-time]...\n", argv[0]); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } npipes = atoi(argv[1]); pfd = calloc(npipes, sizeof (int [2])); if (pfd == NULL) { perror("calloc"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } for (j = 0; j < npipes; j++) { if (pipe(pfd[j]) == -1) { fprintf(stderr, "Loop %d: pipe() failed: ", j); perror("pipe"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } } printf("Initial pipe capacity: %d\n", fcntl(pfd[0][0], F_GETPIPE_SZ)); for (j = 2; j < argc; j += 2 ) { loop = j / 2; pcap = atoi(argv[j]); printf(" Loop %d: set pipe capacity to %d bytes\n", loop, pcap); for (p = 0; p < npipes; p++) { s = fcntl(pfd[p][0], F_SETPIPE_SZ, pcap); if (s == -1) { fprintf(stderr, " Loop %d, pipe %d: F_SETPIPE_SZ " "failed: ", loop, p); perror("fcntl"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } if (p == 0) { printf(" F_SETPIPE_SZ returned %d\n", s); rcap = s; } else { if (s != rcap) { fprintf(stderr, " Loop %d, pipe %d: F_SETPIPE_SZ " "unexpected return: %d\n", loop, p, s); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } } stime = (j + 1 < argc) ? atoi(argv[j + 1]) : 0; if (stime > 0) { printf(" Sleeping %d seconds\n", stime); sleep(stime); } } } exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } 8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x--- Patch history: v2 * Switch order of test in 'if' statement to avoid function call (to capability()) in normal path.

[Thanks to Vegard Nossum] Quoting Vegard: The potential problem happens if the user passes a very large number which will overflow pipe->user->pipe_bufs. On 32-bit, sizeof(int) == sizeof(long), so if they pass arg = INT_MAX then round_pipe_size() returns INT_MAX. Although it's true that the accounting is done in terms of pages and not bytes, so you'd need on the order of (1 << 13) = 8192 processes hitting the limit at the same time in order to make it overflow, which seems a bit unlikely.

3734a13 pipe: refactor argument for account_pipe_buffers() This is a preparatory patch for following work. account_pipe_buffers() performs accounting in the 'user_struct'. There is no need to pass a pointer to a 'pipe_inode_info' struct (which is then dereferenced to obtain a pointer to the 'user' field). Instead, pass a pointer directly to the 'user_struct'.

f491bd7 pipe: relocate round_pipe_size() above pipe_set_size() Patch series "pipe: fix limit handling", v2. When changing a pipe's capacity with fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ), various limits defined by /proc/sys/fs/pipe-* files are checked to see if unprivileged users are exceeding limits on memory consumption. While documenting and testing the operation of these limits I noticed that, as currently implemented, these checks have a number of problems: (1) When increasing the pipe capacity, the checks against the limits in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for the increased pipe capacity. The new increase in pipe capacity can then push the total memory used by the user for pipes (possibly far) over a limit. This can also trigger the problem described next. (2) The limit checks are performed even when the new pipe capacity is less than the existing pipe capacity. This can lead to problems if a user sets a large pipe capacity, and then the limits are lowered, with the result that the user will no longer be able to decrease the pipe capacity. (3) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the limits is done as follows: (a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit. (b) Make new pipe buffer allocation. (c) Account new allocation against the limits. This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously, and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step (c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting this point, which I had missed.] This patch series addresses these three problems. This patch (of 8): This is a minor preparatory patch. After subsequent patches, round_pipe_size() will be called from pipe_set_size(), so place round_pipe_size() above pipe_set_size().

This is not the case with autofs, and DEBUG could be enabled via Makefile, so autofs should just get rid of this comment to make the code less confusing.

bf72eda autofs: update struct autofs_dev_ioctl in Documentation Sync with changes made by commit 730c9eeca980 ("autofs4: improve parameter usage") which introduced an union for various ioctl commands instead of having statically named arg1,2. This commit simply replaces arg1,2 with the corresponding fields without changing semantics.

459cf0a checkpatch: improve the octal permissions tests The function calls with octal permissions commonly span multiple lines. The current test is line oriented and fails to find some matches. Make the test use the $stat variable instead of the $line variable to span multiple lines. Also add a few functions to the known functions with permissions list. Move the SYMBOLIC_PERMS test to a separate section to find all the S_<FOO> permissions in any form not just those that have specific function names. This can now find and fix permissions uses like: .mode = S_<FOO> | S_<BAR>; Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b51bab60530912aae4ac420119d465c5b206f19f.1475030406.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Tested-by: Ramiro Oliveira <roliveir@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 11 October 2016, 22:06:31 UTC
