<id>urn:sha1:542cde0e3cc27bd4d6cbfa596d9278d3c97bc193</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 999898355e08ae3b92dfd0a08db706e0c6703d30 upstream.

When LONG_MIN is passed to msgrcv, one would expect to recieve any
message.  But convert_mode does *msgtyp = -*msgtyp and -LONG_MIN is
undefined.  In particular, with my gcc -LONG_MIN produces -LONG_MIN
again.

So handle this case properly by assigning LONG_MAX to *msgtyp if
LONG_MIN was specified as msgtyp to msgrcv.

This code:
  long msg[] = { 100, 200 };
  int m = msgget(IPC_PRIVATE, IPC_CREAT | 0644);
  msgsnd(m, &amp;msg, sizeof(msg), 0);
  msgrcv(m, &amp;msg, sizeof(msg), LONG_MIN, 0);

produces currently nothing:

  msgget(IPC_PRIVATE, IPC_CREAT|0644)     = 65538
  msgsnd(65538, {100, "\310\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16, 0) = 0
  msgrcv(65538, ...

Except a UBSAN warning:

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ipc/msg.c:745:13
  negation of -9223372036854775808 cannot be represented in type 'long int':

With the patch, I see what I expect:

  msgget(IPC_PRIVATE, IPC_CREAT|0644)     = 0
  msgsnd(0, {100, "\310\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16, 0) = 0
  msgrcv(0, {100, "\310\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"}, 16, -9223372036854775808, 0) = 16

<title>ipc/msg: avoid waking sender upon full queue</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ed27f9122c541a1720898739ac55f824f820b7ff</id>
<content type='text'>
Blocked tasks queued in q_senders waiting for their message to fit in the
queue are blindly awoken every time we think there's a remote chance this
might happen.  This could cause numerous (and expensive -- thundering
herd-ish) bogus wakeups if the queue is still really full.  Adding to the
scheduling cost/overhead, there's also the fact that we need to take the
ipc object lock and requeue ourselves in the q_senders list.

By keeping track of the blocked sender's message size, we can know
previously if the wakeup ought to occur or not.  Otherwise, to maintain
the current wakeup order we just move it to the tail.  This is exactly
what occurs right now if the sender needs to go back to sleep.

The case of EIDRM is left completely untouched, as we need to wakeup all
the tasks, and shouldn't be playing games in the first place.

This patch was seen to save on the 'msgctl10' ltp testcase ~15% in context
switches (avg out of ten runs).  Although these tests are really about
functionality (as opposed to performance), is does show the direct
benefits of the optimization.

Currently the use of wake_qs in sysv msg queues are only for the receiver
tasks that are blocked on the queue.  But blocked sender tasks (due to
queue size constraints) still are awoken with the ipc object lock held,
which can be a problem particularly for small sized queues and far from
gracious for -rt (just like it was for the receiver side).

The paths that actually wakeup a sender are obviously related to when we
are either getting rid of the queue or after (some) space is freed-up
after a receiver takes the msg (msgrcv).  Furthermore, with the exception
of msgrcv, we can always piggy-back on expunge_all that has its own tasks
lined-up for waking.  Finally, upon unlinking the message, it should be no
problem delaying the wakeups a bit until after we've released the lock.

<title>ipc/msg: implement lockless pipelined wakeups</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ee51636ca54f9d4d01ae49b1740742e9db54d868</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch moves the wakeup_process() invocation so it is not done under
the ipc global lock by making use of a lockless wake_q.  With this change,
the waiter is woken up once the message has been assigned and it does not
need to loop on SMP if the message points to NULL.  In the signal case we
still need to check the pointer under the lock to verify the state.

This change should also avoid the introduction of preempt_disable() in -RT
which avoids a busy-loop which pools for the NULL -&gt; !NULL change if the
waiter has a higher priority compared to the waker.

By making use of wake_qs, the logic of sysv msg queues is greatly
simplified (and very well suited as we can batch lockless wakeups),
particularly around the lockless receive algorithm.

This has been tested with Manred's pmsg-shared tool on a "AMD A10-7800
Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G":

test             |   before   |   after    | diff

<content type='text'>
Commit 53dad6d3a8e5 ("ipc: fix race with LSMs") updated ipc_rcu_putref()
to receive rcu freeing function but used generic ipc_rcu_free() instead
of msg_rcu_free() which does security cleaning.

Running LTP msgsnd06 with kmemleak gives the following:

  cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

  unreferenced object 0xffff88003c0a11f8 (size 8):
    comm "msgsnd06", pid 1645, jiffies 4294672526 (age 6.549s)

      entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x13/0x8f

Manfred Spraul suggested to fix sem.c as well and Davidlohr Bueso to
only use ipc_rcu_free in case of security allocation failure in newary()

<title>Initialize msg/shm IPC objects before doing ipc_addid()</title>

<content type='text'>
As reported by Dmitry Vyukov, we really shouldn't do ipc_addid() before
having initialized the IPC object state.  Yes, we initialize the IPC
object in a locked state, but with all the lockless RCU lookup work,
that IPC object lock no longer means that the state cannot be seen.

We already did this for the IPC semaphore code (see commit e8577d1f0329:
"ipc/sem.c: fully initialize sem_array before making it visible") but we
clearly forgot about msg and shm.

<id>urn:sha1:ff35e5ef86fea1fa84eb7fdc939d0b1e3f1222bf</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently use a full barrier on the sender side to to avoid receiver
tasks disappearing on us while still performing on the sender side wakeup.
 We lack however, the proper CPU-CPU interactions pairing on the receiver
side which busy-waits for the message.  Similarly, we do not need a full
smp_mb, and can relax the semantics for the writer and reader sides of the
message.  This is safe as we are only ordering loads and stores to r_msg.
And in both smp_wmb and smp_rmb, there are no stores after the calls
_anyway_.

This obviously applies for pipelined_send and expunge_all, for EIRDM when
destroying a queue.
