* shmdt: use i_size_read() instead of ->i_sizeDave Hansen2014-12-131-2/+3

There is one more case in shm.c in shm_destroy(). This converts both users over to use i_size_read().

* ipc/shm.c: fix overly aggressive shmdt() when calls span multiple segmentsDave Hansen2014-12-131-5/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a highly-contrived scenario. But, a single shmdt() call can be induced in to unmapping memory from mulitple shm segments. Example code is here: http://www.sr71.net/~dave/intel/shmfun.c The fix is pretty simple: Record the 'struct file' for the first VMA we encounter and then stick to it. Decline to unmap anything not from the same file and thus the same segment. I found this by inspection and the odds of anyone hitting this in practice are pretty darn small. Lightly tested, but it's a pretty small patch.

* ipc/shm: kill the historical/wrong mm->start_stack checkOleg Nesterov2014-10-141-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | do_shmat() is the only user of ->start_stack (proc just reports its value), and this check looks ugly and wrong. The reason for this check is not clear at all, and it wrongly assumes that the stack can only grow down. But the main problem is that in general mm->start_stack has nothing to do with stack_vma->vm_start. Not only the application can switch to another stack and even unmap this area, setup_arg_pages() expands the stack without updating mm->start_stack during exec(). This means that in the likely case "addr > start_stack - size - PAGE_SIZE * 5" is simply impossible after find_vma_intersection() == F, or the stack can't grow anyway because of RLIMIT_STACK. Many thanks to Hugh for his explanations.

* shm: allow exit_shm in parallel if only marking orphansJack Miller2014-08-091-32/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If shm_rmid_force (the default state) is not set then the shmids are only marked as orphaned and does not require any add, delete, or locking of the tree structure. Seperate the sysctl on and off case, and only obtain the read lock. The newly added list head can be deleted under the read lock because we are only called with current and will only change the semids allocated by this task and not manipulate the list. This commit assumes that up_read includes a sufficient memory barrier for the writes to be seen my others that later obtain a write lock.

* shm: make exit_shm work proportional to task activityJack Miller2014-08-091-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is small set of patches our team has had kicking around for a few versions internally that fixes tasks getting hung on shm_exit when there are many threads hammering it at once. Anton wrote a simple test to cause the issue: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/bust_shm_exit.c Before applying this patchset, this test code will cause either hanging tracebacks or pthread out of memory errors. After this patchset, it will still produce output like: root@somehost:~# ./bust_shm_exit 1024 160 ... INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: {} (detected by 116, t=2111 jiffies, g=241, c=240, q=7113) INFO: Stall ended before state dump start ... But the task will continue to run along happily, so we consider this an improvement over hanging, even if it's a bit noisy. This patch (of 3): exit_shm obtains the ipc_ns shm rwsem for write and holds it while it walks every shared memory segment in the namespace. Thus the amount of work is related to the number of shm segments in the namespace not the number of segments that might need to be cleaned. In addition, this occurs after the task has been notified the thread has exited, so the number of tasks waiting for the ns shm rwsem can grow without bound until memory is exausted. Add a list to the task struct of all shmids allocated by this task. Init the list head in copy_process. Use the ns->rwsem for locking. Add segments after id is added, remove before removing from id. On unshare of NEW_IPCNS orphan any ids as if the task had exited, similar to handling of semaphore undo. I chose a define for the init sequence since its a simple list init, otherwise it would require a function call to avoid include loops between the semaphore code and the task struct. Converting the list_del to list_del_init for the unshare cases would remove the exit followed by init, but I left it blow up if not inited.

* ipc/shm.c: check for ulong overflows in shmatManfred Spraul2014-06-071-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The increase of SHMMAX/SHMALL is a 4 patch series. The change itself is trivial, the only problem are interger overflows. The overflows are not new, but if we make huge values the default, then the code should be free from overflows. SHMMAX: - shmmem_file_setup places a hard limit on the segment size: MAX_LFS_FILESIZE. On 32-bit, the limit is > 1 TB, i.e. 4 GB-1 byte segments are possible. Rounded up to full pages the actual allocated size is 0. --> must be fixed, patch 3 - shmat: - find_vma_intersection does not handle overflows properly. --> must be fixed, patch 1 - the rest is fine, do_mmap_pgoff limits mappings to TASK_SIZE and checks for overflows (i.e.: map 2 GB, starting from addr=2.5GB fails). SHMALL: - after creating 8192 segments size (1L<<63)-1, shm_tot overflows and returns 0. --> must be fixed, patch 2. Userspace: - Obviously, there could be overflows in userspace. There is nothing we can do, only use values smaller than ULONG_MAX. I ended with "ULONG_MAX - 1L<<24": - TASK_SIZE cannot be used because it is the size of the current task. Could be 4G if it's a 32-bit task on a 64-bit kernel. - The maximum size is not standardized across archs: I found TASK_MAX_SIZE, TASK_SIZE_MAX and TASK_SIZE_64. - Just in case some arch revives a 4G/4G split, nearly ULONG_MAX is a valid segment size. - Using "0" as a magic value for infinity is even worse, because right now 0 means 0, i.e. fail all allocations. This patch (of 4): find_vma_intersection() does not work as intended if addr+size overflows. The patch adds a manual check before the call to find_vma_intersection.

* ipc: introduce ipc_valid_object() helper to sort out IPC_RMID racesRafael Aquini2014-01-281-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the locking semantics for the SysV IPC API got improved, a couple of IPC_RMID race windows were opened because we ended up dropping the 'kern_ipc_perm.deleted' check performed way down in ipc_lock(). The spotted races got sorted out by re-introducing the old test within the racy critical sections. This patch introduces ipc_valid_object() to consolidate the way we cope with IPC_RMID races by using the same abstraction across the API implementation.

* ipc,shm: correct error return value in shmctl (SHM_UNLOCK)Jesper Nilsson2013-11-221-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 2caacaa82a51 ("ipc,shm: shorten critical region for shmctl") restructured the ipc shm to shorten critical region, but introduced a path where the return value could be -EPERM, even if the operation actually was performed. Before the commit, the err return value was reset by the return value from security_shm_shmctl() after the if (!ns_capable(...)) statement. Now, we still exit the if statement with err set to -EPERM, and in the case of SHM_UNLOCK, it is not reset at all, and used as the return value from shmctl. To fix this, we only set err when errors occur, leaving the fallthrough case alone.

Here's the race before this patch: TASK 1 TASK 2 ------ ------ shm_rmid() ipc_lock_object() shmctl() shp = shm_obtain_object_check() shm_destroy() shum_unlock() fput(shp->shm_file) ipc_lock_object() shmem_lock(shp->shm_file) <OOPS> The oops is caused because shm_destroy() calls fput() after dropping the ipc_lock. fput() clears the file's f_inode, f_path.dentry, and f_path.mnt, which causes various NULL pointer references in task 2. I reliably see the oops in task 2 if with shmlock, shmu This patch fixes the races by: 1) set shm_file=NULL in shm_destroy() while holding ipc_object_lock(). 2) modify at risk operations to check shm_file while holding ipc_object_lock(). Example workloads, which each trigger oops... Workload 1: while true; do id=$(shmget 1 4096) shm_rmid $id & shmlock $id & wait done The oops stack shows accessing NULL f_inode due to racing fput: _raw_spin_lock shmem_lock SyS_shmctl Workload 2: while true; do id=$(shmget 1 4096) shmat $id 4096 & shm_rmid $id & wait done The oops stack is similar to workload 1 due to NULL f_inode: touch_atime shmem_mmap shm_mmap mmap_region do_mmap_pgoff do_shmat SyS_shmat Workload 3: while true; do id=$(shmget 1 4096) shmlock $id shm_rmid $id & shmunlock $id & wait done The oops stack shows second fput tripping on an NULL f_inode.

* ipc: fix race with LSMsDavidlohr Bueso2013-09-241-5/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, IPC mechanisms do security and auditing related checks under RCU. However, since security modules can free the security structure, for example, through selinux_[sem,msg_queue,shm]_free_security(), we can race if the structure is freed before other tasks are done with it, creating a use-after-free condition. Manfred illustrates this nicely, for instance with shared mem and selinux: -> do_shmat calls rcu_read_lock() -> do_shmat calls shm_object_check(). Checks that the object is still valid - but doesn't acquire any locks. Then it returns. -> do_shmat calls security_shm_shmat (e.g. selinux_shm_shmat) -> selinux_shm_shmat calls ipc_has_perm() -> ipc_has_perm accesses ipc_perms->security shm_close() -> shm_close acquires rw_mutex & shm_lock -> shm_close calls shm_destroy -> shm_destroy calls security_shm_free (e.g. selinux_shm_free_security) -> selinux_shm_free_security calls ipc_free_security(&shp->shm_perm) -> ipc_free_security calls kfree(ipc_perms->security) This patch delays the freeing of the security structures after all RCU readers are done. Furthermore it aligns the security life cycle with that of the rest of IPC - freeing them based on the reference counter. For situations where we need not free security, the current behavior is kept. Linus states: "... the old behavior was suspect for another reason too: having the security blob go away from under a user sounds like it could cause various other problems anyway, so I think the old code was at least _prone_ to bugs even if it didn't have catastrophic behavior." I have tested this patch with IPC testcases from LTP on both my quad-core laptop and on a 64 core NUMA server. In both cases selinux is enabled, and tests pass for both voluntary and forced preemption models. While the mentioned races are theoretical (at least no one as reported them), I wanted to make sure that this new logic doesn't break anything we weren't aware of.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the third and final patchset that deals with reducing the amount of contention we impose on the ipc lock (kern_ipc_perm.lock). These changes mostly deal with shared memory, previous work has already been done for semaphores and message queues: http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/20/546 (sems) http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/15/584 (mqueues) With these patches applied, a custom shm microbenchmark stressing shmctl doing IPC_STAT with 4 threads a million times, reduces the execution time by 50%. A similar run, this time with IPC_SET, reduces the execution time from 3 mins and 35 secs to 27 seconds. Patches 1-8: replaces blindly taking the ipc lock for a smarter combination of rcu and ipc_obtain_object, only acquiring the spinlock when updating. Patch 9: renames the ids rw_mutex to rwsem, which is what it already was. Patch 10: is a trivial mqueue leftover cleanup Patch 11: adds a brief lock scheme description, requested by Andrew. This patch: Add shm_obtain_object() and shm_obtain_object_check(), which will allow us to get the ipc object without acquiring the lock. Just as with other forms of ipc, these functions are basically wrappers around ipc_obtain_object*().

This patchset mostly deals with mqueues, and while shared mem can be done in a very similar way, I want to get these patches out in the open first. It also does some pending cleanups, mostly focused on the two level locking we have in ipc code, taking care of ipc_addid() and ipcctl_pre_down_nolock() - yes there are still functions that need to be updated as well. This patch: Make all callers explicitly take and release the RCU read lock. This addresses the two level locking seen in newary(), newseg() and newqueue().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current kernel returns -EINVAL unless a given mmap length is "almost" hugepage aligned. This is because in sys_mmap_pgoff() the given length is passed to vm_mmap_pgoff() as it is without being aligned with hugepage boundary. This is a regression introduced in commit 40716e29243d ("hugetlbfs: fix alignment of huge page requests"), where alignment code is pushed into hugetlb_file_setup() and the variable len in caller side is not changed. To fix this, this patch partially reverts that commit, and adds alignment code in caller side. And it also introduces hstate_sizelog() in order to get proper hstate to specified hugepage size.

* | mm: introduce mm_populate() for populating new vmasMichel Lespinasse2013-02-241-5/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When creating new mappings using the MAP_POPULATE / MAP_LOCKED flags (or with MCL_FUTURE in effect), we want to populate the pages within the newly created vmas. This may take a while as we may have to read pages from disk, so ideally we want to do this outside of the write-locked mmap_sem region. This change introduces mm_populate(), which is used to defer populating such mappings until after the mmap_sem write lock has been released. This is implemented as a generalization of the former do_mlock_pages(), which accomplished the same task but was using during mlock() / mlockall().

* mm: support more pagesizes for MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLBAndi Kleen2012-12-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was some desire in large applications using MAP_HUGETLB or SHM_HUGETLB to use 1GB huge pages on some mappings, and stay with 2MB on others. This is useful together with NUMA policy: use 2MB interleaving on some mappings, but 1GB on local mappings. This patch extends the IPC/SHM syscall interfaces slightly to allow specifying the page size. It borrows some upper bits in the existing flag arguments and allows encoding the log of the desired page size in addition to the *_HUGETLB flag. When 0 is specified the default size is used, this makes the change fully compatible. Extending the internal hugetlb code to handle this is straight forward. Instead of a single mount it just keeps an array of them and selects the right mount based on the specified page size. When no page size is specified it uses the mount of the default page size. The change is not visible in /proc/mounts because internal mounts don't appear there. It also has very little overhead: the additional mounts just consume a super block, but not more memory when not used. I also exported the new flags to the user headers (they were previously under __KERNEL__). Right now only symbols for x86 and some other architecture for 1GB and 2MB are defined. The interface should already work for all other architectures though. Only architectures that define multiple hugetlb sizes actually need it (that is currently x86, tile, powerpc). However tile and powerpc have user configurable hugetlb sizes, so it's not easy to add defines. A program on those architectures would need to query sysfs and use the appropiate log2.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 17cf28afea2a ("mm/fs: remove truncate_range") removed the truncate_range inode operation in favour of the fallocate file operation. When using SYSV IPC shared memory segments, calling madvise with the MADV_REMOVE advice on an area of shared memory will attempt to invoke the .fallocate function for the shm_file_operations, which is NULL and therefore returns -EOPNOTSUPP to userspace. The previous behaviour would inherit the inode_operations from the underlying tmpfs file and invoke truncate_range there. This patch restores the previous behaviour by wrapping the underlying fallocate function in shm_fallocate, as we do for fsync.

* SHM_UNLOCK: fix Unevictable pages stranded after swapHugh Dickins2012-01-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit cc39c6a9bbde ("mm: account skipped entries to avoid looping in find_get_pages") correctly fixed an infinite loop; but left a problem that find_get_pages() on shmem would return 0 (appearing to callers to mean end of tree) when it meets a run of nr_pages swap entries. The only uses of find_get_pages() on shmem are via pagevec_lookup(), called from invalidate_mapping_pages(), and from shmctl SHM_UNLOCK's scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(). The first is already commented, and not worth worrying about; but the second can leave pages on the Unevictable list after an unusual sequence of swapping and locking. Fix that by using shmem_find_get_pages_and_swap() (then ignoring the swap) instead of pagevec_lookup(). But I don't want to contaminate vmscan.c with shmem internals, nor shmem.c with LRU locking. So move scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() into shmem.c, renaming it shmem_unlock_mapping(); and rename check_move_unevictable_page() to check_move_unevictable_pages(), looping down an array of pages, oftentimes under the same lock. Leave out the "rotate unevictable list" block: that's a leftover from when this was used for /proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages, whose flawed handling involved looking at pages at tail of LRU. Was there significance to the sequence first ClearPageUnevictable, then test page_evictable, then SetPageUnevictable here? I think not, we're under LRU lock, and have no barriers between those.
