      fs: stream_open - opener for stream-like files so that read and write can run simultaneously without deadlock
      
      Commit 9c225f26 ("vfs: atomic f_pos accesses as per POSIX") added
      locking for file.f_pos access and in particular made concurrent read and
      write not possible - now both those functions take f_pos lock for the
      whole run, and so if e.g. a read is blocked waiting for data, write will
      deadlock waiting for that read to complete.
      
      This caused regression for stream-like files where previously read and
      write could run simultaneously, but after that patch could not do so
      anymore. See e.g. commit 581d21a2 ("xenbus: fix deadlock on writes
      to /proc/xen/xenbus") which fixes such regression for particular case of
      /proc/xen/xenbus.
      
      The patch that added f_pos lock in 2014 did so to guarantee POSIX thread
      safety for read/write/lseek and added the locking to file descriptors of
      all regular files. In 2014 that thread-safety problem was not new as it
      was already discussed earlier in 2006.
      
      However even though 2006'th version of Linus's patch was adding f_pos
      locking "only for files that are marked seekable with FMODE_LSEEK (thus
      avoiding the stream-like objects like pipes and sockets)", the 2014
      version - the one that actually made it into the tree as 9c225f26 -
      is doing so irregardless of whether a file is seekable or not.
      
      See
      
          https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/53022DB1.4070805@gmail.com/

          https://lwn.net/Articles/180396
      
      for historic context.
      
      The reason that it did so is, probably, that there are many files that
      are marked non-seekable, but e.g. their read implementation actually
      depends on knowing current position to correctly handle the read. Some
      examples:
      
      	kernel/power/user.c		snapshot_read
      	fs/debugfs/file.c		u32_array_read
      	fs/fuse/control.c		fuse_conn_waiting_read + ...
      	drivers/hwmon/asus_atk0110.c	atk_debugfs_ggrp_read
      	arch/s390/hypfs/inode.c		hypfs_read_iter
      	...
      
      Despite that, many nonseekable_open users implement read and write with
      pure stream semantics - they don't depend on passed ppos at all. And for
      those cases where read could wait for something inside, it creates a
      situation similar to xenbus - the write could be never made to go until
      read is done, and read is waiting for some, potentially external, event,
      for potentially unbounded time -> deadlock.
      
      Besides xenbus, there are 14 such places in the kernel that I've found
      with semantic patch (see below):

      	drivers/gnss/core.c:45:1-17: ERROR: gnss_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()
      
      In addition to the cases above another regression caused by f_pos
      locking is that now FUSE filesystems that implement open with
      FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE flag, can no longer implement bidirectional
      stream-like files - for the same reason as above e.g. read can deadlock
      write locking on file.f_pos in the kernel.
      
      FUSE's FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE was added in 2008 in a7c1b990 ("fuse:
      implement nonseekable open") to support OSSPD. OSSPD implements /dev/dsp
      in userspace with FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE flag, with corresponding read and
      write routines not depending on current position at all, and with both
      read and write being potentially blocking operations:
      
      See
      
          https://github.com/libfuse/osspd
          https://lwn.net/Articles/308445
      
          https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/blob/14a9cff0/osspd.c#L1406
          https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/blob/14a9cff0/osspd.c#L1438-L1477
          https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/blob/14a9cff0/osspd.c#L1479-L1510
      
      Corresponding libfuse example/test also describes FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE as
      "somewhat pipe-like files ..." with read handler not using offset.
      However that test implements only read without write and cannot exercise
      the deadlock scenario:
      
          https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/fuse-3.4.2-3-ga1bff7d/example/poll.c#L124-L131

          https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/fuse-3.4.2-3-ga1bff7d/example/poll.c#L209-L216
      
      I've actually hit the read vs write deadlock for real while implementing
      my FUSE filesystem where there is /head/watch file, for which open
      creates separate bidirectional socket-like stream in between filesystem
      and its user with both read and write being later performed
      simultaneously. And there it is semantically not easy to split the
      stream into two separate read-only and write-only channels:
      
          https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/wendelin.core/blob/f13aa600/wcfs/wcfs.go#L88-169
      
      Let's fix this regression. The plan is:
      
      1. We can't change nonseekable_open to include &~FMODE_ATOMIC_POS -
         doing so would break many in-kernel nonseekable_open users which
         actually use ppos in read/write handlers.
      
      2. Add stream_open() to kernel to open stream-like non-seekable file
         descriptors. Read and write on such file descriptors would never use
         nor change ppos. And with that property on stream-like files read and
         write will be running without taking f_pos lock - i.e. read and write
         could be running simultaneously.
      
      3. With semantic patch search and convert to stream_open all in-kernel
         nonseekable_open users for which read and write actually do not
         depend on ppos and where there is no other methods in file_operations
         which assume @offset access.
      
      4. Add FOPEN_STREAM to fs/fuse/ and open in-kernel file-descriptors via
         steam_open if that bit is present in filesystem open reply.
      
         It was tempting to change fs/fuse/ open handler to use stream_open
         instead of nonseekable_open on just FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE flags, but
         grepping through Debian codesearch shows users of FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE,
         and in particular GVFS which actually uses offset in its read and
         write handlers
      
      	https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=-%3Enonseekable+%3D
      	https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/blob/1.40.0-6-gcbc54396/client/gvfsfusedaemon.c#L1080
      	https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/blob/1.40.0-6-gcbc54396/client/gvfsfusedaemon.c#L1247-1346
      	https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/blob/1.40.0-6-gcbc54396/client/gvfsfusedaemon.c#L1399-1481
      
         so if we would do such a change it will break a real user.
      
      5. Add stream_open and FOPEN_STREAM handling to stable kernels starting
         from v3.14+ (the kernel where 9c225f26 first appeared).
      
         This will allow to patch OSSPD and other FUSE filesystems that
         provide stream-like files to return FOPEN_STREAM | FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE
         in their open handler and this way avoid the deadlock on all kernel
         versions. This should work because fs/fuse/ ignores unknown open
         flags returned from a filesystem and so passing FOPEN_STREAM to a
         kernel that is not aware of this flag cannot hurt. In turn the kernel
         that is not aware of FOPEN_STREAM will be < v3.14 where just
         FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE is sufficient to implement streams without read vs
         write deadlock.
      
      This patch adds stream_open, converts /proc/xen/xenbus to it and adds
      semantic patch to automatically locate in-kernel places that are either
      required to be converted due to read vs write deadlock, or that are just
      safe to be converted because read and write do not use ppos and there
      are no other funky methods in file_operations.
      
      Regarding semantic patch I've verified each generated change manually -
      that it is correct to convert - and each other nonseekable_open instance
      left - that it is either not correct to convert there, or that it is not
      converted due to current stream_open.cocci limitations.
      
      The script also does not convert files that should be valid to convert,
      but that currently have .llseek = noop_llseek or generic_file_llseek for
      unknown reason despite file being opened with nonseekable_open (e.g.
      drivers/input/mousedev.c)

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      debugfs, coccinelle: check for obsolete DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() usage · 5103068e
      Nicolai Stange 提交于
      In order to protect against file removal races, debugfs files created via
      debugfs_create_file() now get wrapped by a struct file_operations at their
      opening.
      
      If the original struct file_operations are known to be safe against removal
      races by themselves already, the proxy creation may be bypassed by creating
      the files through debugfs_create_file_unsafe().
      
      In order to help debugfs users who use the common
        DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file()
      idiom to transition to removal safe struct file_operations, the helper
      macro DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() has been introduced.
      
      Thus, the preferred strategy is to use
        DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file_unsafe()
      now.
      
      Introduce a Coccinelle script that searches for
      DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE()-defined struct file_operations handed into
      debugfs_create_file(). Suggest to turn these usages into the
        DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() + debugfs_create_file_unsafe()
      pattern.
