ipc, shm: make shmem attach/detach wait for mmap_sem killable

2016-05-24T00:04:14Z

shmat and shmdt rely on mmap_sem for write. If the waiting task gets killed by the oom killer it would block oom_reaper from asynchronous address space reclaim and reduce the chances of timely OOM resolving. Wait for the lock in the killable mode and return with EINTR if the task got killed while waiting.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

2016-04-04T17:41:08Z

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ; - >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

ipc/sem: make semctl setting sempid consistent

2016-03-22T22:36:02Z

As indicated by bug#112271, Linux sets the sempid value upon semctl, and not only for semop calls. However, within semctl we only do this for SETVAL, leaving SETALL without updating the field, and therefore rather inconsistent behavior when compared to other Unices. There is really no documentation regarding this and therefore users should not make assumptions. With this patch, along with updating semctl.2 manpages, this scenario should become less ambiguous As such, set sempid on SETALL cmd. Also update some in-code documentation, specifying where the sempid is set. Passes ltp and custom testcase where a child (fork) does SETALL to the set.

ipc/shm: handle removed segments gracefully in shm_mmap()

2016-02-19T00:23:24Z

remap_file_pages(2) emulation can reach file which represents removed IPC ID as long as a memory segment is mapped. It breaks expectations of IPC subsystem. Test case (rewritten to be more human readable, originally autogenerated by syzkaller[1]): #define _GNU_SOURCE #include #include #include #include #define PAGE_SIZE 4096 int main() { int id; void *p; id = shmget(IPC_PRIVATE, 3 * PAGE_SIZE, 0); p = shmat(id, NULL, 0); shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL); remap_file_pages(p, 3 * PAGE_SIZE, 0, 7, 0); return 0; } The patch changes shm_mmap() and code around shm_lock() to propagate locking error back to caller of shm_mmap().

tree wide: use kvfree() than conditional kfree()/vfree()

2016-01-23T01:02:18Z

There are many locations that do if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc) vfree(ptr); else kfree(ptr); but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory using is_vmalloc_addr(). Unless callers have special reasons, we can replace this branch with kvfree(). Please check and reply if you found problems.

wrappers for ->i_mutex access

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested}, inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex). Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle ->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held only shared. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg

2016-01-15T00:00:49Z

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to memcg. For the list, see below: - threadinfo - task_struct - task_delay_info - pid - cred - mm_struct - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu) - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain - signal_struct - sighand_struct - fs_struct - files_struct - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits - dentry and external_name - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method. The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects. Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in fact).

ipc,msg: drop dst nil validation in copy_msg

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

d0edd8528362 ("ipc: convert invalid scenarios to use WARN_ON") relaxed the nil dst parameter check, originally being a full BUG_ON. However, this check seems quite unnecessary when the only purpose is for ceckpoint/restore (MSG_COPY flag): o The copy variable is set initially to nil, apparently as a way of ensuring that prepare_copy is previously called. Which is in fact done, unconditionally at the beginning of do_msgrcv. o There is no concurrency with 'copy' (stack allocated in do_msgrcv). Furthermore, any errors in 'copy' (and thus prepare_copy/copy_msg) should always handled by IS_ERR() family. Therefore remove this check altogether as it can never occur with the current users.
