Merge tag 'pidfd.v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

2021-11-11T00:02:08Z

Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner: "Various places in the kernel have picked up pidfds. The two most recent additions have probably been the ability to use pidfds in bpf maps and the usage of pidfds in mm-based syscalls such as process_mrelease() and process_madvise(). The same pattern to turn a pidfd into a struct task exists in two places. One of those places used PIDTYPE_TGID while the other one used PIDTYPE_PID even though it is clearly documented in all pidfd-helpers that pidfds __currently__ only refer to thread-group leaders (subject to change in the future if need be). This isn't a bug per se but has the potential to be one if we allow pidfds to refer to individual threads. If that happens we want to audit all codepaths that make use of them to ensure they can deal with pidfds refering to individual threads. This adds a simple helper to turn a pidfd into a struct task making it easy to grep for such places. Plus, it gets rid of code-duplication" * tag 'pidfd.v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: mm: use pidfd_get_task() pid: add pidfd_get_task() helper

mm: mark the OOM reaper thread as freezable

2021-11-06T20:30:41Z

The OOM reaper alters user address space which might theoretically alter the snapshot if reaping is allowed to happen after the freezer quiescent state. To this end, the reaper kthread uses wait_event_freezable() while waiting for any work so that it cannot run while the system freezes. However, the current implementation doesn't respect the freezer because all kernel threads are created with the PF_NOFREEZE flag, so they are automatically excluded from freezing operations. This means that the OOM reaper can race with system snapshotting if it has work to do while the system is being frozen. Fix this by adding a set_freezable() call which will clear the PF_NOFREEZE flag and thus make the OOM reaper visible to the freezer. Please note that the OOM reaper altering the snapshot this way is mostly a theoretical concern and has not been observed in practice.

mm, oom: do not trigger out_of_memory from the #PF

2021-11-06T20:30:35Z

Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory. This can happen for 2 different reasons. a) Memcg is out of memory and we rely on mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize to perform the memcg OOM handling or b) normal allocation fails. The latter is quite problematic because allocation paths already trigger out_of_memory and the page allocator tries really hard to not fail allocations. Anyway, if the OOM killer has been already invoked there is no reason to invoke it again from the #PF path. Especially when the OOM condition might be gone by that time and we have no way to find out other than allocate. Moreover if the allocation failed and the OOM killer hasn't been invoked then we are unlikely to do the right thing from the #PF context because we have already lost the allocation context and restictions and therefore might oom kill a task from a different NUMA domain. This all suggests that there is no legitimate reason to trigger out_of_memory from pagefault_out_of_memory so drop it. Just to be sure that no #PF path returns with VM_FAULT_OOM without allocation print a warning that this is happening before we restart the #PF. [VvS: #PF allocation can hit into limit of cgroup v1 kmem controller. This is a local problem related to memcg, however, it causes unnecessary global OOM kills that are repeated over and over again and escalate into a real disaster. This has been broken since kmem accounting has been introduced for cgroup v1 (3.8). There was no kmem specific reclaim for the separate limit so the only way to handle kmem hard limit was to return with ENOMEM. In upstream the problem will be fixed by removing the outdated kmem limit, however stable and LTS kernels cannot do it and are still affected. This patch fixes the problem and should be backported into stable/LTS.] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/f5fd8dd8-0ad4-c524-5f65-920b01972a42@virtuozzo.com Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin Acked-by: Michal Hocko Cc: Johannes Weiner Cc: Mel Gorman Cc: Roman Gushchin Cc: Shakeel Butt Cc: Tetsuo Handa Cc: Uladzislau Rezki Cc: Vladimir Davydov Cc: Vlastimil Babka Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm, oom: pagefault_out_of_memory: don't force global OOM for dying tasks

2021-11-06T20:30:35Z

Patch series "memcg: prohibit unconditional exceeding the limit of dying tasks", v3. Memory cgroup charging allows killed or exiting tasks to exceed the hard limit. It can be misused and allowed to trigger global OOM from inside a memcg-limited container. On the other hand if memcg fails allocation, called from inside #PF handler it triggers global OOM from inside pagefault_out_of_memory(). To prevent these problems this patchset: (a) removes execution of out_of_memory() from pagefault_out_of_memory(), becasue nobody can explain why it is necessary. (b) allow memcg to fail allocation of dying/killed tasks. This patch (of 3): Any allocation failure during the #PF path will return with VM_FAULT_OOM which in turn results in pagefault_out_of_memory which in turn executes out_out_memory() and can kill a random task. An allocation might fail when the current task is the oom victim and there are no memory reserves left. The OOM killer is already handled at the page allocator level for the global OOM and at the charging level for the memcg one. Both have much more information about the scope of allocation/charge request. This means that either the OOM killer has been invoked properly and didn't lead to the allocation success or it has been skipped because it couldn't have been invoked. In both cases triggering it from here is pointless and even harmful. It makes much more sense to let the killed task die rather than to wake up an eternally hungry oom-killer and send him to choose a fatter victim for breakfast.

Merge branch 'per_signal_struct_coredumps-for-v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

2021-11-03T19:15:29Z

Pull per signal_struct coredumps from Eric Biederman: "Current coredumps are mixed up with the exit code, the signal handling code, and the ptrace code making coredumps much more complicated than necessary and difficult to follow. This series of changes starts with ptrace_stop and cleans it up, making it easier to follow what is happening in ptrace_stop. Then cleans up the exec interactions with coredumps. Then cleans up the coredump interactions with exit. Finally the coredump interactions with the signal handling code is cleaned up. The first and last changes are bug fixes for minor bugs. I believe the fact that vfork followed by execve can kill the process the called vfork if exec fails is sufficient justification to change the userspace visible behavior. In previous discussions some of these changes were organized differently and individually appeared to make the code base worse. As currently written I believe they all stand on their own as cleanups and bug fixes. Which means that even if the worst should happen and the last change needs to be reverted for some unimaginable reason, the code base will still be improved. If the worst does not happen there are a more cleanups that can be made. Signals that generate coredumps can easily become eligible for short circuit delivery in complete_signal. The entire rendezvous for generating a coredump can move into get_signal. The function force_sig_info_to_task be written in a way that does not modify the signal handling state of the target task (because coredumps are eligible for short circuit delivery). Many of these future cleanups can be done another way but nothing so cleanly as if coredumps become per signal_struct" * 'per_signal_struct_coredumps-for-v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: coredump: Limit coredumps to a single thread group coredump: Don't perform any cleanups before dumping core exit: Factor coredump_exit_mm out of exit_mm exec: Check for a pending fatal signal instead of core_state ptrace: Remove the unnecessary arguments from arch_ptrace_stop signal: Remove the bogus sigkill_pending in ptrace_stop

mm/oom_kill.c: prevent a race between process_mrelease and exit_mmap

2021-10-29T00:18:55Z

Race between process_mrelease and exit_mmap, where free_pgtables is called while __oom_reap_task_mm is in progress, leads to kernel crash during pte_offset_map_lock call. oom-reaper avoids this race by setting MMF_OOM_VICTIM flag and causing exit_mmap to take and release mmap_write_lock, blocking it until oom-reaper releases mmap_read_lock. Reusing MMF_OOM_VICTIM for process_mrelease would be the simplest way to fix this race, however that would be considered a hack. Fix this race by elevating mm->mm_users and preventing exit_mmap from executing until process_mrelease is finished. Patch slightly refactors the code to adapt for a possible mmget_not_zero failure. This fix has considerable negative impact on process_mrelease performance and will likely need later optimization.

coredump: Don't perform any cleanups before dumping core

2021-10-06T16:28:39Z

Rename coredump_exit_mm to coredump_task_exit and call it from do_exit before PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT, and before any cleanup work for a task happens. This ensures that an accurate copy of the process can be captured in the coredump as no cleanup for the process happens before the coredump completes. This also ensures that PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT will not be visited by any thread until the coredump is complete. Add a new flag PF_POSTCOREDUMP so that tasks that have passed through coredump_task_exit can be recognized and ignored in zap_process. Now that all of the coredumping happens before exit_mm remove code to test for a coredump in progress from mm_release. Replace "may_ptrace_stop()" with a simple test of "current->ptrace". The other tests in may_ptrace_stop all concern avoiding stopping during a coredump. These tests are no longer necessary as it is now guaranteed that fatal_signal_pending will be set if the code enters ptrace_stop during a coredump. The code in ptrace_stop is guaranteed not to stop if fatal_signal_pending returns true. Until this change "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" could call ptrace_stop without fatal_signal_pending being true, as signals are dequeued in get_signal before calling do_exit. This is no longer an issue as "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" is no longer reached until after the coredump completes.
