cgroup: fix broken file xattrs

2013-05-08T03:08:22Z

commit 712317ad97f41e738e1a19aa0a6392a78a84094e upstream. We should store file xattrs in struct cfent instead of struct cftype, because cftype is a type while cfent is object instance of cftype. For example each cgroup has a tasks file, and each tasks file is associated with a uniq cfent, but all those files share the same struct cftype. Alexey Kodanev reported a crash, which can be reproduced: # mount -t cgroup -o xattr /sys/fs/cgroup # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test # setfattr -n trusted.value -v test_value /sys/fs/cgroup/tasks # rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test # umount /sys/fs/cgroup oops! In this case, simple_xattrs_free() will free the same struct simple_xattrs twice. tj: Dropped unused local variable @cft from cgroup_diput().

cgroup: fix an off-by-one bug which may trigger BUG_ON()

2013-05-08T03:08:22Z

commit 3ac1707a13a3da9cfc8f242a15b2fae6df2c5f88 upstream. The 3rd parameter of flex_array_prealloc() is the number of elements, not the index of the last element. The effect of the bug is, when opening cgroup.procs, a flex array will be allocated and all elements of the array is allocated with GFP_KERNEL flag, but the last one is GFP_ATOMIC, and if we fail to allocate memory for it, it'll trigger a BUG_ON().

cgroup: fix exit() vs rmdir() race

2013-03-03T22:03:38Z

commit 71b5707e119653039e6e95213f00479668c79b75 upstream. In cgroup_exit() put_css_set_taskexit() is called without any lock, which might lead to accessing a freed cgroup: thread1 thread2 --------------------------------------------- exit() cgroup_exit() put_css_set_taskexit() atomic_dec(cgrp->count); rmdir(); /* not safe !! */ check_for_release(cgrp); rcu_read_lock() can be used to make sure the cgroup is alive.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

2012-12-17T23:44:47Z

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user space interface is now complete. This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces. The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from using cool new kernel features is broken. This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for the pid, user, mount namespaces. This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup. The files under /proc//ns/ have been converted from regular files to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS, ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission checks are always applied. The files under /proc//ns/ have been given stable inode numbers so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same namespaces. Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my tree. Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the /proc//ns/ files in this tree. Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from being built when any of those filesystems are enabled. Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (38 commits) proc: Usable inode numbers for the namespace file descriptors. proc: Fix the namespace inode permission checks. proc: Generalize proc inode allocation userns: Allow unprivilged mounts of proc and sysfs userns: For /proc/self/{uid,gid}_map derive the lower userns from the struct file procfs: Print task uids and gids in the userns that opened the proc file userns: Implement unshare of the user namespace userns: Implent proc namespace operations userns: Kill task_user_ns userns: Make create_new_namespaces take a user_ns parameter userns: Allow unprivileged use of setns. userns: Allow unprivileged users to create new namespaces userns: Allow setting a userns mapping to your current uid. userns: Allow chown and setgid preservation userns: Allow unprivileged users to create user namespaces. userns: Ignore suid and sgid on binaries if the uid or gid can not be mapped userns: fix return value on mntns_install() failure vfs: Allow unprivileged manipulation of the mount namespace. vfs: Only support slave subtrees across different user namespaces vfs: Add a user namespace reference from struct mnt_namespace ...

cgroup_rm_file: don't delete the uncreated files

2012-12-06T16:58:11Z

in cgroup_add_file,when creating files for cgroup, some of creation may be skipped. So we need to avoid deleting these uncreated files in cgroup_rm_file, otherwise the warning msg will be triggered.

cgroup: remove subsystem files when remounting cgroup

2012-12-03T16:33:11Z

cgroup_clear_directroy is called by cgroup_d_remove_dir and cgroup_remount. when we call cgroup_remount to remount the cgroup,the subsystem may be unlinked from cgroupfs_root->subsys_list in rebind_subsystem,this subsystem's files will not be removed in cgroup_clear_directroy. And the system will panic when we try to access these files. this patch removes subsystems's files before rebind_subsystems, if rebind_subsystems failed, repopulate these removed files. With help from Tejun. Signed-off-by: Gao feng Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cgroup: use cgroup_addrm_files() in cgroup_clear_directory()

2012-11-30T19:44:12Z

cgroup_clear_directory() incorrectly invokes cgroup_rm_file() on each cftset of the target subsystems, which only removes the first file of each set. This leaves dangling files after subsystems are removed from a cgroup root via remount. Use cgroup_addrm_files() to remove all files of target subsystems. tj: Move cgroup_addrm_files() prototype decl upwards next to other global declarations. Commit message updated.

cgroup: warn about broken hierarchies only after css_online

2012-11-30T15:11:07Z

If everything goes right, it shouldn't really matter if we are spitting this warning after css_alloc or css_online. If we fail between then, there are some ill cases where we would previously see the message and now we won't (like if the files fail to be created). I believe it really shouldn't matter: this message is intended in spirit to be shown when creation succeeds, but with insane settings. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
