Fix failure path in alloc_pid()

2019-01-13T08:24:05Z

commit 1a80dade010c7a7f4885a4c4c2a7ac22cc7b34df upstream. The failure path removes the allocated PIDs from the wrong namespace. This could lead to us inadvertently reusing PIDs in the leaf namespace and leaking PIDs in parent namespaces.

fork: report pid exhaustion correctly

2018-09-20T20:01:11Z

Make the clone and fork syscalls return EAGAIN when the limit on the number of pids /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max is exceeded. Currently, when the pid_max limit is exceeded, the kernel will return ENOSPC from the fork and clone syscalls. This is contrary to the documented behaviour, which explicitly calls out the pid_max case as one where EAGAIN should be returned. It also leads to really confusing error messages in userspace programs which will complain about a lack of disk space when they fail to create processes/threads for this reason. This error is being returned because alloc_pid() uses the idr api to find a new pid; when there are none available, idr_alloc_cyclic() returns -ENOSPC, and this is being propagated back to userspace. This behaviour has been broken before, and was explicitly fixed in commit 35f71bc0a09a ("fork: report pid reservation failure properly"), so I think -EAGAIN is definitely the right thing to return in this case. The current behaviour change dates from commit 95846ecf9dac ("pid: replace pid bitmap implementation with IDR AIP") and was I believe unintentional. This patch has no impact on the case where allocating a pid fails because the child reaper for the namespace is dead; that case will still return -ENOMEM.

pid: Implement PIDTYPE_TGID

2018-07-21T15:43:12Z

Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and a tasks tgid (thread group id). Even in the enumeration we want that distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID. With leader_pid we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct. Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and into the pids array. Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the leader_pid in signal_struct. The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct. The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest. The long term potential is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove a lot more special cases in the code. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

pids: Move the pgrp and session pid pointers from task_struct to signal_struct

2018-07-21T15:43:12Z

To access these fields the code always has to go to group leader so going to signal struct is no loss and is actually a fundamental simplification. This saves a little bit of memory by only allocating the pid pointer array once instead of once for every thread, and even better this removes a few potential races caused by the fact that group_leader can be changed by de_thread, while signal_struct can not.

pids: Compute task_tgid using signal->leader_pid

2018-07-21T15:43:12Z

The cost is the the same and this removes the need to worry about complications that come from de_thread and group_leader changing. __task_pid_nr_ns has been updated to take advantage of this change. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

xarray: add the xa_lock to the radix_tree_root

2018-04-11T17:28:39Z

This results in no change in structure size on 64-bit machines as it fits in the padding between the gfp_t and the void *. 32-bit machines will grow the structure from 8 to 12 bytes. Almost all radix trees are protected with (at least) a spinlock, so as they are converted from radix trees to xarrays, the data structures will shrink again. Initialising the spinlock requires a name for the benefit of lockdep, so RADIX_TREE_INIT() now needs to know the name of the radix tree it's initialising, and so do IDR_INIT() and IDA_INIT(). Also add the xa_lock() and xa_unlock() family of wrappers to make it easier to use the lock. If we could rely on -fplan9-extensions in the compiler, we could avoid all of this syntactic sugar, but that wasn't added until gcc 4.6.

2018-02-07T02:32:46Z

There are several functions that do find_task_by_vpid() followed by get_task_struct(). We can use a helper function instead.

Merge tag 'init_task-20180117' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

2018-01-29T17:08:34Z

Pull init_task initializer cleanups from David Howells: "It doesn't seem useful to have the init_task in a header file rather than in a normal source file. We could consolidate init_task handling instead and expand out various macros. Here's a series of patches that consolidate init_task handling: (1) Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds for cris, hexagon and openrisc. (2) Alter the INIT_TASK_DATA linker script macro to set init_thread_union and init_stack rather than defining these in C. Insert init_task and init_thread_into into the init_stack area in the linker script as appropriate to the configuration, with different section markers so that they end up correctly ordered. We can then get merge ia64's init_task.c into the main one. We then have a bunch of single-use INIT_*() macros that seem only to be macros because they used to be used per-arch. We can then expand these in place of the user and get rid of a few lines and a lot of backslashes. (3) Expand INIT_TASK() in place. (4) Expand in place various small INIT_*() macros that are defined conditionally. Expand them and surround them by #if[n]def/#endif in the .c file as it takes fewer lines. (5) Expand INIT_SIGNALS() and INIT_SIGHAND() in place. (6) Expand INIT_STRUCT_PID in place. These macros can then be discarded" * tag 'init_task-20180117' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: Expand INIT_STRUCT_PID and remove Expand the INIT_SIGNALS and INIT_SIGHAND macros and remove Expand various INIT_* macros and remove Expand INIT_TASK() in init/init_task.c and remove Construct init thread stack in the linker script rather than by union openrisc: Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds hexagon: Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds cris: Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds
