Basically, the problem is that negative pinned dentries require careful treatment - unless ->d_lock is locked or parent is held at least shared, another thread can make them positive right under us. Most of the uses turned out to be safe - the main surprises as far as filesystems are concerned were - race in dget_parent() fastpath, that might end up with the caller observing the returned dentry _negative_, due to insufficient barriers. It is positive in memory, but we could end up seeing the wrong value of ->d_inode in CPU cache. Fixed. - manual checks that result of lookup_one_len_unlocked() is positive (and rejection of negatives). Again, insufficient barriers (we might end up with inconsistent observed values of ->d_inode and ->d_flags). Fixed by switching to a new primitive that does the checks itself and returns ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) instead of a negative dentry. That way we get rid of boilerplate converting negatives into ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) in the callers and have a single place to deal with the barrier-related mess - inside fs/namei.c rather than in every caller out there. The guts of pathname resolution *do* need to be careful - the race found by Ritesh is real, as well as several similar races. Fortunately, it turns out that we can take care of that with fairly local changes in there. The tree-wide audit had not been fun, and I hate the idea of repeating it. I think the right approach would be to annotate the places where we are _not_ guaranteed ->d_inode/->d_flags stability and have sparse catch regressions. But I'm still not sure what would be the least invasive way of doing that and it's clearly the next cycle fodder" * 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: fs/namei.c: fix missing barriers when checking positivity fix dget_parent() fastpath race new helper: lookup_positive_unlocked() fs/namei.c: pull positivity check into follow_managed()
| * new helper: lookup_positive_unlocked()Al Viro2019-11-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the callers of lookup_one_len_unlocked() treat negatives are ERR_PTR(-ENOENT). Provide a helper that would do just that. Note that a pinned positive dentry remains positive - it's ->d_inode is stable, etc.; a pinned _negative_ dentry can become positive at any point as long as you are not holding its parent at least shared. So using lookup_one_len_unlocked() needs to be careful; lookup_positive_unlocked() is safer and that's what the callers end up open-coding anyway. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* | kernfs: use 64bit inos if ino_t is 64bitTejun Heo2019-11-122-16/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each kernfs_node is identified with a 64bit ID. The low 32bit is exposed as ino and the high gen. While this already allows using inos as keys by looking up with wildcard generation number of 0, it's adding unnecessary complications for 64bit ino archs which can directly use kernfs_node IDs as inos to uniquely identify each cgroup instance. This patch exposes IDs directly as inos on 64bit ino archs. The conversion is mostly straight-forward. * 32bit ino archs behave the same as before. 64bit ino archs now use the whole 64bit ID as ino and the generation number is fixed at 1. * 64bit inos still use the same idr allocator which gurantees that the lower 32bits identify the current live instance uniquely and the high 32bits are incremented whenever the low bits wrap. As the upper 32bits are no longer used as gen and we don't wanna start ino allocation with 33rd bit set, the initial value for highbits allocation is changed to 0 on 64bit ino archs. * blktrace exposes two 32bit numbers - (INO,GEN) pair - to identify the issuing cgroup. Userland builds FILEID_INO32_GEN fids from these numbers to look up the cgroups. To remain compatible with the behavior, always output (LOW32,HIGH32) which will be constructed back to the original 64bit ID by __kernfs_fh_to_dentry().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current kernfs exportfs implementation uses the generic_fh_*() helpers and FILEID_INO32_GEN[_PARENT] which limits ino to 32bits. Let's implement custom exportfs operations and fid type to remove the restriction. * FILEID_KERNFS is a single u64 value whose content is kernfs_node->id. This is the only native fid type. * For backward compatibility with blk_log_action() path which exposes (ino,gen) pairs which userland assembles into FILEID_INO32_GEN keys, combine the generic keys into 64bit IDs in the same order.

* | kernfs: combine ino/id lookup functions into kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id()Tejun Heo2019-11-123-30/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() looks the kernfs_node matching the specified ino. On top of that, kernfs_get_node_by_id() and kernfs_fh_get_inode() implement full ID matching by testing the rest of ID. On surface, confusingly, the two are slightly different in that the latter uses 0 gen as wildcard while the former doesn't - does it mean that the latter can't uniquely identify inodes w/ 0 gen? In practice, this is a distinction without a difference because generation number starts at 1. There are no actual IDs with 0 gen, so it can always safely used as wildcard. Let's simplify the code by renaming kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() to kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id(), moving all lookup logics into it, and removing now unnecessary kernfs_get_node_by_id().

* | kernfs: convert kernfs_node->id from union kernfs_node_id to u64Tejun Heo2019-11-124-13/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kernfs_node->id is currently a union kernfs_node_id which represents either a 32bit (ino, gen) pair or u64 value. I can't see much value in the usage of the union - all that's needed is a 64bit ID which the current code is already limited to. Using a union makes the code unnecessarily complicated and prevents using 64bit ino without adding practical benefits. This patch drops union kernfs_node_id and makes kernfs_node->id a u64. ino is stored in the lower 32bits and gen upper. Accessors - kernfs[_id]_ino() and kernfs[_id]_gen() - are added to retrieve the ino and gen. This simplifies ID handling less cumbersome and will allow using 64bit inos on supported archs. This patch doesn't make any functional changes.

This is used to make kernfs nodes visible only after the internal states attached to the node are fully initialized. kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id() currently allows lookups of nodes which aren't activated yet and thus can expose nodes are which are still being prepped by kernfs users.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() uses RCU protection. It's currently a bit buggy because it can look up a node which hasn't been activated yet and thus may end up exposing a node that the kernfs user is still prepping. While it can be fixed by pushing it further in the current direction, it's already complicated and isn't clear whether the complexity is justified. The main use of kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() is for exportfs operations. They aren't super hot and all the follow-up operations (e.g. mapping to path) use normal locking anyway. Let's switch to a dumber locking scheme and protect the lookup with kernfs_idr_lock.

However, this function relies on the fact that the suffix passed to xattr handlers from VFS is always constructed from the full name by just incerementing the pointer. This doesn't necessarily hold for the callers of kernfs_security_xattr_*(), so their usage will easily lead to out-of-bounds access. Fix this by moving the xattr name reconstruction to the VFS xattr handlers and replacing the kernfs_security_xattr_*() helpers with more general kernfs_xattr_*() helpers that take full xattr name and allow accessing all kernfs node's xattrs.

The main motivation is to allow kernfs nodes to inherit the context of the parent under SELinux, similar to the behavior of security_inode_init_security(). Other LSMs may implement their own logic for handling the creation of new nodes. This patch also adds helper functions to <linux/kernfs.h> for getting/setting security xattrs of a kernfs node so that LSMs hooks are able to do their job. Other important attributes should be accessible direcly in the kernfs_node fields (in case there is need for more, then new helpers should be added to kernfs.h along with the patch that needs them).

This requires that sysfs, cgroup and intel_rdt, which are built on kernfs, be made to support fs_context also. Notes: (1) A kernfs_fs_context struct is created to wrap fs_context and the kernfs mount parameters are moved in here (or are in fs_context). (2) kernfs_mount{,_ns}() are made into kernfs_get_tree(). The extra namespace tag parameter is passed in the context if desired (3) kernfs_free_fs_context() is provided as a destructor for the kernfs_fs_context struct, but for the moment it does nothing except get called in the right places. (4) sysfs doesn't wrap kernfs_fs_context since it has no parameters to pass, but possibly this should be done anyway in case someone wants to add a parameter in future. (5) A cgroup_fs_context struct is created to wrap kernfs_fs_context and the cgroup v1 and v2 mount parameters are all moved there. (6) cgroup1 parameter parsing error messages are now handled by invalf(), which allows userspace to collect them directly. (7) cgroup1 parameter cleanup is now done in the context destructor rather than in the mount/get_tree and remount functions. Weirdies: (*) cgroup_do_get_tree() calls cset_cgroup_from_root() with locks held, but then uses the resulting pointer after dropping the locks. I'm told this is okay and needs commenting.

Android is adopting psi to detect and remedy memory pressure that results in stuttering and decreased responsiveness on mobile devices. Psi gives us the stall information, but because we're dealing with latencies in the millisecond range, periodically reading the pressure files to detect stalls in a timely fashion is not feasible. Psi also doesn't aggregate its averages at a high enough frequency right now. This patch series extends the psi interface such that users can configure sensitive latency thresholds and use poll() and friends to be notified when these are breached. As high-frequency aggregation is costly, it implements an aggregation method that is optimized for fast, short-interval averaging, and makes the aggregation frequency adaptive, such that high-frequency updates only happen while monitored stall events are actively occurring. With these patches applied, Android can monitor for, and ward off, mounting memory shortages before they cause problems for the user. For example, using memory stall monitors in userspace low memory killer daemon (lmkd) we can detect mounting pressure and kill less important processes before device becomes visibly sluggish. In our memory stress testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x less false positives compared to vmpressure signals. Having ability to specify multiple triggers for the same psi metric allows other parts of Android framework to monitor memory state of the device and act accordingly. The new interface is straightforward. The user opens one of the pressure files for writing and writes a trigger description into the file descriptor that defines the stall state - some or full, and the maximum stall time over a given window of time. E.g.: /* Signal when stall time exceeds 100ms of a 1s window */ char trigger[] = "full 100000 1000000"; fd = open("/proc/pressure/memory"); write(fd, trigger, sizeof(trigger)); while (poll() >= 0) { ... } close(fd); When the monitored stall state is entered, psi adapts its aggregation frequency according to what the configured time window requires in order to emit event signals in a timely fashion. Once the stalling subsides, aggregation reverts back to normal. The trigger is associated with the open file descriptor. To stop monitoring, the user only needs to close the file descriptor and the trigger is discarded. Patches 1-4 prepare the psi code for polling support. Patch 5 implements the adaptive polling logic, the pressure growth detection optimized for short intervals, and hooks up write() and poll() on the pressure files. The patches were developed in collaboration with Johannes Weiner. This patch (of 5): Kernfs has a standardized poll/notification mechanism for waking all pollers on all fds when a filesystem node changes. To allow polling for custom events, add a .poll callback that can override the default. This is in preparation for pollable cgroup pressure files which have per-fd trigger configurations.

Easily fixed (same way as in sysfs case). Additionally, there's a superblock leak on kernfs_node_dentry() failure *and* a dentry leak inside kernfs_node_dentry() itself - the latter on probably impossible errors, but the former not impossible to trigger (as the matter of fact, injecting allocation failures at that point *does* trigger it).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kernfs_notify() does two notifications: poll and fsnotify. Originally, both notifications were done from scheduled work context and all that kernfs_notify() did was schedule the work. This patch simply moves the poll notification from the scheduled work handler to kernfs_notify(). The fsnotify notification still needs to be done from scheduled work context because it can sleep (it needs to lock a mutex). If the poll notification is time critical (the notified thread needs to wake as quickly as possible), it's better to do it from kernfs_notify() directly. One example is calling sysfs_notify_dirent() from a hardware interrupt handler to wake up a thread and handle the interrupt in user space.

* mm: zero-seek shrinkersJohannes Weiner2018-10-271-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The page cache and most shrinkable slab caches hold data that has been read from disk, but there are some caches that only cache CPU work, such as the dentry and inode caches of procfs and sysfs, as well as the subset of radix tree nodes that track non-resident page cache. Currently, all these are shrunk at the same rate: using DEFAULT_SEEKS for the shrinker's seeks setting tells the reclaim algorithm that for every two page cache pages scanned it should scan one slab object. This is a bogus setting. A virtual inode that required no IO to create is not twice as valuable as a page cache page; shadow cache entries with eviction distances beyond the size of memory aren't either. In most cases, the behavior in practice is still fine. Such virtual caches don't tend to grow and assert themselves aggressively, and usually get picked up before they cause problems. But there are scenarios where that's not true. Our database workloads suffer from two of those. For one, their file workingset is several times bigger than available memory, which has the kernel aggressively create shadow page cache entries for the non-resident parts of it. The workingset code does tell the VM that most of these are expendable, but the VM ends up balancing them 2:1 to cache pages as per the seeks setting. This is a huge waste of memory. These workloads also deal with tens of thousands of open files and use /proc for introspection, which ends up growing the proc_inode_cache to absurdly large sizes - again at the cost of valuable cache space, which isn't a reasonable trade-off, given that proc inodes can be re-created without involving the disk. This patch implements a "zero-seek" setting for shrinkers that results in a target ratio of 0:1 between their objects and IO-backed caches. This allows such virtual caches to grow when memory is available (they do cache/avoid CPU work after all), but effectively disables them as soon as IO-backed objects are under pressure. It then switches the shrinkers for procfs and sysfs metadata, as well as excess page cache shadow nodes, to the new zero-seek setting.

* | kernfs: allow creating kernfs objects with arbitrary uid/gidDmitry Torokhov2018-07-215-7/+45
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change allows creating kernfs files and directories with arbitrary uid/gid instead of always using GLOBAL_ROOT_UID/GID by extending kernfs_create_dir_ns() and kernfs_create_file_ns() with uid/gid arguments. The "simple" kernfs_create_file() and kernfs_create_dir() are left alone and always create objects belonging to the global root. When creating symlinks ownership (uid/gid) is taken from the target kernfs object.

Transition vfs to use y2038 safe struct timespec64 instead. The change was made with the help of the following cocinelle script. This catches about 80% of the changes. All the header file and logic changes are included in the first 5 rules. The rest are trivial substitutions. I avoid changing any of the function signatures or any other filesystem specific data structures to keep the patch simple for review. The script can be a little shorter by combining different cases.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
