2013-09-12vfs: make d_path() get the root path under RCULinus Torvalds
This avoids the spinlocks and refcounts in the d_path() sequence too (used by /proc and various other entities). See commit 8b19e34188a3 for the equivalent getcwd() system call path. And unlike getcwd(), d_path() doesn't copy the result to user space, so I don't need to fear _that_ particular bug happening again. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-09-12vfs: use __getname/__putname for getcwd() system callLinus Torvalds
It's a pathname. It should use the pathname allocators and deallocators, and PATH_MAX instead of PAGE_SIZE. Never mind that the two are commonly the same. With this, the allocations scale up nicely too, and I can do getcwd() system calls at a rate of about 300M/s, with no lock contention anywhere. Of course, nobody sane does that, especially since getcwd() is traditionally a very slow operation in Unix. But this was also the simplest way to benchmark the prepend_path() improvements by Waiman, and once I saw the profiles I couldn't leave it well enough alone. But apart from being an performance improvement (from using per-cpu slab allocators instead of the raw page allocator), it's actually a valid and real cleanup.

2013-09-12vfs: don't copy things to user space holding the rcu readlockLinus Torvalds
Oops. That wasn't very smart. We don't actually need the RCU lock any more by the time we copy the cwd string to user space, but I had stupidly surrounded the whole thing with it.

This allows us to skip all the crazy spinlocks and reference count updates, and instead use the fs sequence read-lock to get an atomic snapshot of the root and cwd information. We might want to make the rule that "prepend_path()" is always called with the RCU lock held, but the RCU lock nests fine and this is the minimal fix.

2013-09-12dcache: get/release read lock in read_seqbegin_or_lock() & friendWaiman Long
This patch modifies read_seqbegin_or_lock() and need_seqretry() to use newly introduced read_seqlock_excl() and read_sequnlock_excl() primitives so that they won't change the sequence number even if they fall back to take the lock. This is OK as no change to the protected data structure is being made. It will prevent one fallback to lock taking from cascading into a series of lock taking reducing performance because of the sequence number change. It will also allow other sequence readers to go forward while an exclusive reader lock is taken. This patch also updates some of the inaccurate comments in the code.

2013-09-11initmpfs: move bdi setup from init_rootfs to init_ramfsRob Landley
Even though ramfs hasn't got a backing device, commit e0bf68ddec4f ("mm: bdi init hooks") added one anyway, and put the initialization in init_rootfs() since that's the first user, leaving it out of init_ramfs() to avoid duplication. But initmpfs uses init_tmpfs() instead, so move the init into the filesystem's init function, add a "once" guard to prevent duplicate initialization, and call the filesystem init from rootfs init.

2013-09-11lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interruptJan Kara
With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is one such possible user), the following race can happen: radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; <interrupt> ... radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which two users of radix tree race. We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload(). in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for all preload users. Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again, preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However, some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert() to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users, radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

2013-09-11vmcore: introduce remap_oldmem_pfn_range()Michael Holzheu
For zfcpdump we can't map the HSA storage because it is only available via a read interface. Therefore, for the new vmcore mmap feature we have introduce a new mechanism to create mappings on demand. This patch introduces a new architecture function remap_oldmem_pfn_range() that should be used to create mappings with remap_pfn_range() for oldmem areas that can be directly mapped. For zfcpdump this is everything besides of the HSA memory. For the areas that are not mapped by remap_oldmem_pfn_range() a generic vmcore a new generic vmcore fault handler mmap_vmcore_fault() is called. This handler works as follows: * Get already available or new page from page cache (find_or_create_page) * Check if /proc/vmcore page is filled with data (PageUptodate) * If yes: Return that page * If no: Fill page using __vmcore_read(), set PageUptodate, and return page Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Willeke <willeke@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-09-11vmcore: introduce ELF header in new memory featureMichael Holzheu
For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump (zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted. When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes. The advantages of this mechanism are: * No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel. * Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped * Non-Linux systems can be dumped. We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested. Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario, we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel. So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd kernel memory. The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution: 1. Production system crashes 2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool 3. Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA 4. Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area 5. Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory 6. Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs 7. Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map 8. Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore 9. /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization 10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk - copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE - copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the /proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel. This patch: Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel. To use the new feature the following function have to be defined by the architecture backend code to read from new memory: * elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header * elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header * elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header * elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Willeke <willeke@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-09-11exec: cleanup the error handling in search_binary_handler()Oleg Nesterov
The error hanling and ret-from-loop look confusing and inconsistent. - "retval >= 0" simply returns - "!bprm->file" returns too but with read_unlock() because binfmt_lock was already re-acquired - "retval != -ENOEXEC || bprm->mm == NULL" does "break" and relies on the same check after the main loop Consolidate these checks into a single if/return statement. need_retry still checks "retval == -ENOEXEC", but this and -ENOENT before the main loop are not needed. This is only for pathological and impossible list_empty(&formats) case. It is not clear why do we check "bprm->mm == NULL", probably this should be removed.

2013-09-11exec: don't retry if request_module() failsOleg Nesterov
A separate one-liner for better documentation. It doesn't make sense to retry if request_module() fails to exec /sbin/modprobe, add the additional "request_module() < 0" check. However, this logic still doesn't look exactly right: 1. It would be better to check "request_module() != 0", the user space modprobe process should report the correct exit code. But I didn't dare to add the user-visible change. 2. The whole ENOEXEC logic looks suboptimal. Suppose that we try to exec a "#!path-to-unsupported-binary" script. In this case request_module() + "retry" will be done twice: first by the "depth == 1" code, and then again by the "depth == 0" caller which doesn't make sense. 3. And note that in the case above bprm->buf was already changed by load_script()->prepare_binprm(), so this looks even more ugly.

search_binary_handler() uses "for (try=0; try<2; try++)" to avoid "goto" but the code looks too complicated and horrible imho. We still need to check "try == 0" before request_module() and add the additional "break" for !CONFIG_MODULES case. Kill this loop and use a simple "bool need_retry" + "goto retry".

proc_fd_permission() says "process can still access /proc/self/fd after it has executed a setuid()", but the "task_pid() = proc_pid() check only helps if the task is group leader, /proc/self points to /proc/<leader-pid>. Change this check to use task_tgid() so that the whole thread group can access its /proc/self/fd or /proc/<tid-of-sub-thread>/fd. Notes: - CLONE_THREAD does not require CLONE_FILES so task->files can differ, but I don't think this can lead to any security problem. And this matches same_thread_group() in __ptrace_may_access(). - /proc/self should probably point to /proc/<thread-tid>, but it is too late to change the rules. Perhaps it makes sense to add /proc/thread though. Test-case: void *tfunc(void *arg) { assert(opendir("/proc/self/fd")); return NULL; } int main(void) { pthread_t t; pthread_create(&t, NULL, tfunc, NULL); pthread_join(t, NULL); return 0; } fails if, say, this executable is not readable and suid_dumpable = 0.

This patchset implements POSIX ACLs support in hfsplus driver. Mac OS X beginning with version 10.4 ("Tiger") support NFSv4 ACLs, which are part of the NFSv4 standard. HFS+ stores ACLs in the form of specially named extended attributes (com.apple.system.Security). But this patchset doesn't use "com.apple.system.Security" extended attributes. It implements support of POSIX ACLs in the form of extended attributes with names "system.posix_acl_access" and "system.posix_acl_default". These xattrs are treated only under Linux. POSIX ACLs doesn't mean something under Mac OS X. Thereby, this patch set provides opportunity to use POSIX ACLs under Linux on HFS+ filesystem.

2013-09-11mm/page-writeback.c: add strictlimit featureMaxim Patlasov
The feature prevents mistrusted filesystems (ie: FUSE mounts created by unprivileged users) to grow a large number of dirty pages before throttling. For such filesystems balance_dirty_pages always check bdi counters against bdi limits. I.e. even if global "nr_dirty" is under "freerun", it's not allowed to skip bdi checks. The only use case for now is fuse: it sets bdi max_ratio to 1% by default and system administrators are supposed to expect that this limit won't be exceeded. The feature is on if a BDI is marked by BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT flag. A filesystem may set the flag when it initializes its BDI. The problematic scenario comes from the fact that nobody pays attention to the NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter (i.e. number of pages under fuse writeback). The implementation of fuse writeback releases original page (by calling end_page_writeback) almost immediately. A fuse request queued for real processing bears a copy of original page. Hence, if userspace fuse daemon doesn't finalize write requests in timely manner, an aggressive mmap writer can pollute virtually all memory by those temporary fuse page copies. They are carefully accounted in NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP, but nobody cares. To make further explanations shorter, let me use "NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP problem" as a shortcut for "a possibility of uncontrolled grow of amount of RAM consumed by temporary pages allocated by kernel fuse to process writeback". The problem was very easy to reproduce. There is a trivial example filesystem implementation in fuse userspace distribution: fusexmp_fh.c. I added "sleep(1);" to the write methods, then recompiled and mounted it. Then created a huge file on the mount point and run a simple program which mmap-ed the file to a memory region, then wrote a data to the region. An hour later I observed almost all RAM consumed by fuse writeback. Since then some unrelated changes in kernel fuse made it more difficult to reproduce, but it is still possible now. Putting this theoretical happens-in-the-lab thing aside, there is another thing that really hurts real world (FUSE) users. This is write-through page cache policy FUSE currently uses. I.e. handling write(2), kernel fuse populates page cache and flushes user data to the server synchronously. This is excessively suboptimal. Pavel Emelyanov's patches ("writeback cache policy") solve the problem, but they also make resolving NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP problem absolutely necessary. Otherwise, simply copying a huge file to a fuse mount would result in memory starvation. Miklos, the maintainer of FUSE, believes strictlimit feature the way to go. And eventually putting FUSE topics aside, there is one more use-case for strictlimit feature. Using a slow USB stick (mass storage) in a machine with huge amount of RAM installed is a well-known pain. Let's make simple computations. Assuming 64GB of RAM installed, existing implementation of balance_dirty_pages will start throttling only after 9.6GB of RAM becomes dirty (freerun == 15% of total RAM). So, the command "cp 9GB_file /media/my-usb-storage/" may return in a few seconds, but subsequent "umount /media/my-usb-storage/" will take more than two hours if effective throughput of the storage is, to say, 1MB/sec. After inclusion of strictlimit feature, it will be trivial to add a knob (e.g. /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/x:y/strictlimit) to enable it on demand. Manually or via udev rule. May be I'm wrong, but it seems to be quite a natural desire to limit the amount of dirty memory for some devices we are not fully trust (in the sense of sustainable throughput).

In case when system contains no dirty pages, wakeup_flusher_threads() will submit WB_SYNC_NONE writeback for 0 pages so wb_writeback() exits immediately without doing anything, even though there are dirty inodes in the system. Thus sync(1) will write all the dirty inodes from a WB_SYNC_ALL writeback pass which is slow.
