btrfs: properly set the termination value of ctx->pos in readdir

2016-02-11T15:01:59+00:00

The value of ctx->pos in the last readdir call is supposed to be set to
INT_MAX due to 32bit compatibility, unless 'pos' is intentially set to a
larger value, then it's LLONG_MAX.

There's a report from PaX SIZE_OVERFLOW plugin that "ctx->pos++"
overflows (https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4284), on a
64bit arch, where the value is 0x7fffffffffffffff ie. LLONG_MAX before
the increment.

We can get to that situation like that:

* emit all regular readdir entries
* still in the same call to readdir, bump the last pos to INT_MAX
* next call to readdir will not emit any entries, but will reach the
  bump code again, finds pos to be INT_MAX and sets it to LLONG_MAX

Normally this is not a problem, but if we call readdir again, we'll find
'pos' set to LLONG_MAX and the unconditional increment will overflow.

The report from Victor at
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/49500) with debugging
print shows that pattern:

 Overflow: 7fffffff
 Overflow: 7fffffffffffffff

  [] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x83

The jump from 7fffffff to 7fffffffffffffff happens when new dir entries
are not yet synced and are processed from the delayed list. Then the code
could go to the bump section again even though it might not emit any new
dir entries from the delayed list.

The fix avoids entering the "bump" section again once we've finished
emitting the entries, both for synced and delayed entries.

perform endian conversion when comparing the two.  This fixes mount

pty: make sure super_block is still valid in final /dev/tty close

2016-02-07T07:45:46+00:00

Considering current pty code and multiple devpts instances, it's possible
to umount a devpts file system while a program still has /dev/tty opened
pointing to a previosuly closed pty pair in that instance. In the case all
ptmx and pts/N files are closed, umount can be done. If the program closes
/dev/tty after umount is done, devpts_kill_index will use now an invalid
super_block, which was already destroyed in the umount operation after
running ->kill_sb. This is another "use after free" type of issue, but now
related to the allocated super_block instance.

To avoid the problem (warning at ida_remove and potential crashes) for
this specific case, I added two functions in devpts which grabs additional
references to the super_block, which pty code now uses so it makes sure
the super block structure is still valid until pty shutdown is done.
I also moved the additional inode references to the same functions, which
also covered similar case with inode being freed before /dev/tty final
close/shutdown.

epoll: restrict EPOLLEXCLUSIVE to POLLIN and POLLOUT

2016-02-06T02:10:40+00:00

In the current implementation of the EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag (added for
4.5-rc1), if epoll waiters create different POLL* sets and register them
as exclusive against the same target fd, the current implementation will
stop waking any further waiters once it finds the first idle waiter.
This means that waiters could miss wakeups in certain cases.

For example, when we wake up a pipe for reading we do:
wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll(&pipe->wait, POLLIN | POLLRDNORM); So if
one epoll set or epfd is added to pipe p with POLLIN and a second set
epfd2 is added to pipe p with POLLRDNORM, only epfd may receive the
wakeup since the current implementation will stop after it finds any
intersection of events with a waiter that is blocked in epoll_wait().

We could potentially address this by requiring all epoll waiters that
are added to p be required to pass the same set of POLL* events.  IE the
first EPOLL_CTL_ADD that passes EPOLLEXCLUSIVE establishes the set POLL*
flags to be used by any other epfds that are added as EPOLLEXCLUSIVE.
However, I think it might be somewhat confusing interface as we would
have to reference count the number of users for that set, and so
userspace would have to keep track of that count, or we would need a
more involved interface.  It also adds some shared state that we'd have
store somewhere.  I don't think anybody will want to bloat
__wait_queue_head for this.

I think what we could do instead, is to simply restrict EPOLLEXCLUSIVE
such that it can only be specified with EPOLLIN and/or EPOLLOUT.  So
that way if the wakeup includes 'POLLIN' and not 'POLLOUT', we can stop
once we hit the first idle waiter that specifies the EPOLLIN bit, since
any remaining waiters that only have 'POLLOUT' set wouldn't need to be
woken.  Likewise, we can do the same thing if 'POLLOUT' is in the wakeup
bit set and not 'POLLIN'.  If both 'POLLOUT' and 'POLLIN' are set in the
wake bit set (there is at least one example of this I saw in fs/pipe.c),
then we just wake the entire exclusive list.  Having both 'POLLOUT' and
'POLLIN' both set should not be on any performance critical path, so I
think that's ok (in fs/pipe.c its in pipe_release()).  We also continue
to include EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP by default in any exclusive set.  Thus,
the user can specify EPOLLERR and/or EPOLLHUP but is not required to do
so.

Since epoll waiters may be interested in other events as well besides
EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP, these can still be added by
doing a 'dup' call on the target fd and adding that as one normally
would with EPOLL_CTL_ADD.  Since I think that the POLLIN and POLLOUT
events are what we are interest in balancing, I think that the 'dup'
thing could perhaps be added to only one of the waiter threads.
However, I think that EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP should be
sufficient for the majority of use-cases.

Since EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is intended to be used with a target fd shared
among multiple epfds, where between 1 and n of the epfds may receive an
event, it does not satisfy the semantics of EPOLLONESHOT where only 1
epfd would get an event.  Thus, it is not allowed to be specified in
conjunction with EPOLLEXCLUSIVE.

EPOLL_CTL_MOD is also not allowed if the fd was previously added as
EPOLLEXCLUSIVE.  It seems with the limited number of flags to not be as
interesting, but this could be relaxed at some further point.
