* fs/devpts: always delete dcache dentry-s in dput()Varad Gautam2019-01-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | d_delete only unhashes an entry if it is reached with dentry->d_lockref.count != 1. Prior to commit 8ead9dd54716 ("devpts: more pty driver interface cleanups"), d_delete was called on a dentry from devpts_pty_kill with two references held, which would trigger the unhashing, and the subsequent dputs would release it. Commit 8ead9dd54716 reworked devpts_pty_kill to stop acquiring the second reference from d_find_alias, and the d_delete call left the dentries still on the hashed list without actually ever being dropped from dcache before explicit cleanup. This causes the number of negative dentries for devpts to pile up, and an `ls /dev/pts` invocation can take seconds to return. Provide always_delete_dentry() from simple_dentry_operations as .d_delete for devpts, to make the dentry be dropped from dcache. Without this cleanup, the number of dentries in /dev/pts/ can be grown arbitrarily as: `python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn(["ls", "/dev/pts"])'` A systemtap probe on dcache_readdir to count d_subdirs shows this count to increase with each pty spawn invocation above: probe kernel.function("dcache_readdir") { subdirs = &@cast($file->f_path->dentry, "dentry")->d_subdirs; p = subdirs; p = @cast(p, "list_head")->next; i = 0 while (p != subdirs) { p = @cast(p, "list_head")->next; i = i+1; } printf("number of dentries: %d\n", i); } Fixes: 8ead9dd54716 ("devpts: more pty driver interface cleanups") Signed-off-by: Varad Gautam <vrd@amazon.de> Reported-by: Zheng Wang <wanz@amazon.de> Reported-by: Brandon Schwartz <bsschwar@amazon.de> Root-caused-by: Maximilian Heyne <mheyne@amazon.de> Root-caused-by: Nicolas Pernas Maradei <npernas@amazon.de> CC: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk> CC: Maximilian Heyne <mheyne@amazon.de> CC: Stefan Nuernberger <snu@amazon.de> CC: Amit Shah <aams@amazon.de> CC: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> CC: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> CC: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> CC: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> CC: Eric W.

* devpts: resolve devpts bind-mountsChristian Brauner2018-03-141-10/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most libcs will still look at /dev/ptmx when opening the master fd of a pty device. When /dev/ptmx is a bind-mount of /dev/pts/ptmx and the TIOCGPTPEER ioctl() is used to safely retrieve a file descriptor for the slave side of the pty based on the master fd, the /proc/self/fd/{0,1,2} symlinks will point to /. A very simply reproducer for this issue presupposing a libc that uses TIOCGPTPEER in its openpty() implementation is: unshare --mount mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx chmod 666 /dev/ptmx script ls -al /proc/self/fd/0 Having bind-mounts of /dev/pts/ptmx to /dev/ptmx not working correctly is a regression. In addition, it is also a fairly common scenario in containers employing user namespaces. The reason for the current failure is that the kernel tries to verify the useability of the devpts filesystem without resolving the /dev/ptmx bind-mount first. This will lead it to detect that the dentry is escaping its bind-mount. The reason is that while the devpts filesystem mounted at /dev/pts has the devtmpfs mounted at /dev as its parent mount: 21 -- -- / /dev -- 21 -- / /dev/pts devtmpfs and devpts are on different devices -- -- 0:6 / /dev -- -- 0:20 / /dev/pts This has the consequence that the pathname of the parent directory of the devpts filesystem mount at /dev/pts is /. So if /dev/ptmx is a bind-mount of /dev/pts/ptmx then the /dev/ptmx bind-mount and the devpts mount at /dev/pts will end up being located on the same device which is recorded in the superblock of their vfsmount. This means the parent directory of the /dev/ptmx bind-mount will be /ptmx: -- -- ---- /ptmx /dev/ptmx Without the bind-mount resolution patch the kernel will now perform the bind-mount escape check directly on /dev/ptmx. The function responsible for this is devpts_ptmx_path() which calls pts_path() which in turn calls path_parent_directory(). Based on the above explanation, path_parent_directory() will yield / as the parent directory for the /dev/ptmx bind-mount and not the expected /dev. Thus, the kernel detects that /dev/ptmx is escaping its bind-mount and will set /proc/<pid>/fd/<nr> to /. This patch changes the logic to first resolve any bind-mounts. After the bind-mounts have been resolved (i.e. we have traced it back to the associated devpts mount) devpts_ptmx_path() can be called. In order to guarantee correct path generation for the slave file descriptor the kernel now requires that a pts directory is found in the parent directory of the ptmx bind-mount. This implies that when doing bind-mounts the ptmx bind-mount and the devpts mount should have a common parent directory. A valid example is: mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx an invalid example is: mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /ptmx This allows us to support: - calling open on ptmx devices located inside non-standard devpts mounts: mount -t devpts devpts /mnt master = open("/mnt/ptmx", ...); slave = ioctl(master, TIOCGPTPEER, ...); - calling open on ptmx devices located outside the devpts mount with a common ancestor directory: mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx master = open("/dev/ptmx", ...); slave = ioctl(master, TIOCGPTPEER, ...); while failing on ptmx devices located outside the devpts mount without a common ancestor directory: mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /ptmx master = open("/ptmx", ...); slave = ioctl(master, TIOCGPTPEER, ...); in which case save path generation cannot be guaranteed.

* pty: Repair TIOCGPTPEEREric W. Biederman2017-08-241-16/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The implementation of TIOCGPTPEER has two issues. When /dev/ptmx (as opposed to /dev/pts/ptmx) is opened the wrong vfsmount is passed to dentry_open. Which results in the kernel displaying the wrong pathname for the peer. The second is simply by caching the vfsmount and dentry of the peer it leaves them open, in a way they were not previously Which because of the inreased reference counts can cause unnecessary behaviour differences resulting in regressions. To fix these move the ioctl into tty_io.c at a generic level allowing the ioctl to have access to the struct file on which the ioctl is being called. This allows the path of the slave to be derived when opening the slave through TIOCGPTPEER instead of requiring the path to the slave be cached. Thus removing the need for caching the path. A new function devpts_ptmx_path is factored out of devpts_acquire and used to implement a function devpts_mntget. The new function devpts_mntget takes a filp to perform the lookup on and fsi so that it can confirm that the superblock that is found by devpts_ptmx_path is the proper superblock. v2: Lots of fixes to make the code actually work v3: Suggestions by Linus - Removed the unnecessary initialization of filp in ptm_open_peer - Simplified devpts_ptmx_path as gotos are no longer required [ This is the fix for the issue that was reverted in commit 143c97cc6529, but this time without breaking 'pbuilder' due to increased reference counts - Linus ] Fixes: 54ebbfb16034 ("tty: add TIOCGPTPEER ioctl") Reported-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@canonical.com> Reported-and-tested-by: Stefan Lippers-Hollmann <s.l-h@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

* Revert "pty: fix the cached path of the pty slave file descriptor in the master"Linus Torvalds2017-08-241-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit c8c03f1858331e85d397bacccd34ef409aae993c. It turns out that while fixing the ptmx file descriptor to have the correct 'struct path' to the associated slave pty is a really good thing, it breaks some user space tools for a very annoying reason. The problem is that /dev/ptmx and its associated slave pty (/dev/pts/X) are on different mounts. That was what caused us to have the wrong path in the first place (we would mix up the vfsmount of the 'ptmx' node, with the dentry of the pty slave node), but it also means that now while we use the right vfsmount, having the pty master open also keeps the pts mount busy. And it turn sout that that makes 'pbuilder' very unhappy, as noted by Stefan Lippers-Hollmann: "This patch introduces a regression for me when using pbuilder 0.228.7[2] (a helper to build Debian packages in a chroot and to create and update its chroots) when trying to umount /dev/ptmx (inside the chroot) on Debian/ unstable (full log and pbuilder configuration file[3] attached). [...] Setting up build-essential (12.3) ... Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-15) ... I: unmounting dev/ptmx filesystem W: Could not unmount dev/ptmx: umount: /var/cache/pbuilder/build/1340/dev/ptmx: target is busy (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1).)" apparently pbuilder tries to unmount the /dev/pts filesystem while still holding at least one master node open, which is arguably not very nice, but we don't break user space even when fixing other bugs. So this commit has to be reverted. I'll try to figure out a way to avoid caching the path to the slave pty in the master pty. The only thing that actually wants that slave pty path is the "TIOCGPTPEER" ioctl, and I think we could just recreate the path at that time.

* pty: fix the cached path of the pty slave file descriptor in the masterLinus Torvalds2017-08-171-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Christian Brauner reported that if you use the TIOCGPTPEER ioctl() to get a slave pty file descriptor, the resulting file descriptor doesn't look right in /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd>. In particular, he wanted to use readlink() on /proc/self/fd/<fd> to get the pathname of the slave pty (basically implementing "ptsname{_r}()"). The reason for that was that we had generated the wrong 'struct path' when we create the pty in ptmx_open(). In particular, the dentry was correct, but the vfsmount pointed to the mount of the ptmx node. That _can_ be correct - in case you use "/dev/pts/ptmx" to open the master - but usually is not. The normal case is to use /dev/ptmx, which then looks up the pts/ directory, and then the vfsmount of the ptmx node is obviously the /dev directory, not the /dev/pts/ directory. We actually did have the right vfsmount available, but in the wrong place (it gets looked up in 'devpts_acquire()' when we get a reference to the pts filesystem), and so ptmx_open() used the wrong mnt pointer. The end result of this confusion was that the pty worked fine, but when if you did TIOCGPTPEER to get the slave side of the pty, end end result would also work, but have that dodgy 'struct path'. And then when doing "d_path()" on to get the pathname, the vfsmount would not match the root of the pts directory, and d_path() would return an empty pathname thinking that the entry had escaped a bind mount into another mount. This fixes the problem by making devpts_acquire() return the vfsmount for the pts filesystem, allowing ptmx_open() to trivially just use the right mount for the pts dentry, and create the proper 'struct path'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps. Use current_time() instead. CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe. This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also, current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be y2038 safe. Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they share the same time granularity.

* devpts: Make each mount of devpts an independent filesystem.Eric W. Biederman2016-06-051-136/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts" in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails. The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new instance of the filesystem. Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem. Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the mounter is in the initial mount namespace. A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot. In the implementation of devpts: - devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of devpts are equal. - pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem. - devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the unnecessary inode hold is removed. - devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a deacrivate_super. - The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now ignored. In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as they are never used. Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current situation. This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5, centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3, ubuntu-15.10, fedora23, magia-5, mint-17.3, opensuse-42.1, slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01.

* devpts: more pty driver interface cleanupsLinus Torvalds2016-04-271-41/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is more prep-work for the upcoming pty changes. Still just code cleanup with no actual semantic changes. This removes a bunch pointless complexity by just having the slave pty side remember the dentry associated with the devpts slave rather than the inode. That allows us to remove all the "look up the dentry" code for when we want to remove it again. Together with moving the tty pointer from "inode->i_private" to "dentry->d_fsdata" and getting rid of pointless inode locking, this removes about 30 lines of code. Not only is the end result smaller, it's simpler and easier to understand. The old code, for example, depended on the d_find_alias() to not just find the dentry, but also to check that it is still hashed, which in turn validated the tty pointer in the inode. That is a _very_ roundabout way to say "invalidate the cached tty pointer when the dentry is removed". The new code just does dentry->d_fsdata = NULL; in devpts_pty_kill() instead, invalidating the tty pointer rather more directly and obviously. Don't do something complex and subtle when the obvious straightforward approach will do. The rest of the patch (ie apart from code deletion and the above tty pointer clearing) is just switching the calling convention to pass the dentry or file pointer around instead of the inode.

* devpts: clean up interface to pty driversLinus Torvalds2016-04-181-25/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This gets rid of the horrible notion of having that struct inode *ptmx_inode be the linchpin of the interface between the pty code and devpts. By de-emphasizing the ptmx inode, a lot of things actually get cleaner, and we will have a much saner way forward. In particular, this will allow us to associate with any particular devpts instance at open-time, and not be artificially tied to one particular ptmx inode. The patch itself is actually fairly straightforward, and apart from some locking and return path cleanups it's pretty mechanical: - the interfaces that devpts exposes all take "struct pts_fs_info *" instead of "struct inode *ptmx_inode" now. NOTE! The "struct pts_fs_info" thing is a completely opaque structure as far as the pty driver is concerned: it's still declared entirely internally to devpts. So the pty code can't actually access it in any way, just pass it as a "cookie" to the devpts code. - the "look up the pts fs info" is now a single clear operation, that also does the reference count increment on the pts superblock. So "devpts_add/del_ref()" is gone, and replaced by a "lookup and get ref" operation (devpts_get_ref(inode)), along with a "put ref" op (devpts_put_ref()). - the pty master "tty->driver_data" field now contains the pts_fs_info, not the ptmx inode. - because we don't care about the ptmx inode any more as some kind of base index, the ref counting can now drop the inode games - it just gets the ref on the superblock. - the pts_fs_info now has a back-pointer to the super_block. That's so that we can easily look up the information we actually need. Although quite often, the pts fs info was actually all we wanted, and not having to look it up based on some magical inode makes things more straightforward. In particular, now that "devpts_get_ref(inode)" operation should really be the *only* place we need to look up what devpts instance we're associated with, and we do it exactly once, at ptmx_open() time. The other side of this is that one ptmx node could now be associated with multiple different devpts instances - you could have a single /dev/ptmx node, and then have multiple mount namespaces with their own instances of devpts mounted on /dev/pts/. And that's all perfectly sane in a model where we just look up the pts instance at open time. This will eventually allow us to get rid of our odd single-vs-multiple pts instance model, but this patch in itself changes no semantics, only an internal binding model.

* pty: make sure super_block is still valid in final /dev/tty closeHerton R. Krzesinski2016-02-071-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Herton R.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If devpts failed to initialize, it would store an ERR_PTR in the global devpts_mnt. A subsequent open of /dev/ptmx would call devpts_new_index, which would dereference devpts_mnt and crash. Avoid storing invalid values in devpts_mnt; leave it NULL instead. Make both devpts_new_index and devpts_pty_new fail gracefully with ENODEV in that case, which then becomes the return value to the userspace open call on /dev/ptmx.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied, unconditional syncfs(). This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful, except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting remounted read-only. However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are actually depending on this behavior. In most file systems, it's probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something like romfs).

This patch restores sysctl kernel.pty.max as global limit (4096 by default), adds pty reseve for main devpts (mounted without "newinstance" argument), and new sysctl to tune it: kernel.pty.reserve (1024 by default) Also it adds devpts mount option "max=%d" to limit pty count for each devpts instance independently. (by default NR_UNIX98_PTY_MAX == 2^20) Thus devpts instances in containers cannot eat up all available pty even if we didn't set any limits, while with "max" argument we can adjust limits more precisely.

Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
