When I fixed bugs in the sem_lock() logic, I was more conservative than necessary. Therefore it is safe to replace the smp_mb() with smp_rmb(). And: With smp_rmb(), semop() syscalls are up to 10% faster. The race we must protect against is: sem->lock is free sma->complex_count = 0 sma->sem_perm.lock held by thread B thread A: A: spin_lock(&sem->lock) B: sma->complex_count++; (now 1) B: spin_unlock(&sma->sem_perm.lock); A: spin_is_locked(&sma->sem_perm.lock); A: XXXXX memory barrier A: if (sma->complex_count == 0) Thread A must read the increased complex_count value, i.e. the read must not be reordered with the read of sem_perm.lock done by spin_is_locked(). Since it's about ordering of reads, smp_rmb() is sufficient.

ipc_addid() makes a new ipc identifier visible to everyone. New objects start as locked, so that the caller can complete the initialization after the call. Within struct sem_array, at least sma->sem_base and sma->sem_nsems are accessed without any locks, therefore this approach doesn't work. Thus: Move the ipc_addid() to the end of the initialization.

The actual Linux implementation for semctl(GETNCNT) and semctl(GETZCNT) always (since 0.99.10) reported a thread as sleeping on all semaphores that are listed in the semop() call. The documented behavior (both in the Linux man page and in the Single Unix Specification) is that a task should be reported on exactly one semaphore: The semaphore that caused the thread to got to sleep. This patch adds a pr_info_once() that is triggered if a thread hits the relevant case. The code triggers slightly too often, otherwise it would be necessary to replicate the old code. As there are no known users of GETNCNT or GETZCNT, this is done to prevent unnecessary bloat. The task that triggered is reported with name (tsk->comm) and pid.

SUSv4 clearly defines how semncnt and semzcnt must be calculated: A task waits on exactly one semaphore: The semaphore from the first operation in the sop array that cannot proceed. The Linux implementation never followed the standard, it tried to count all semaphores that might be the reason why a task sleeps. This patch fixes that. Note: a) The implementation assumes that GETNCNT and GETZCNT are rare operations, therefore the code counts them only on demand. (If they wouldn't be rare, then the non-compliance would have been found earlier) b) compared to the initial version of the patch, the BUG_ONs were removed and it was clarified that the new behavior conforms to SUS. Back-compatibility concerns: Manfred: : - there is no application in Fedora that uses GETNCNT or GETZCNT. : : - application that use only single-sop semop() are also safe, the : difference only affects complex apps. : : - portable application are also safe, the new behavior is standard : compliant. : : But that's it. The old behavior existed in Linux from 0.99.something : until now. Michael: : * These operations seem to be very little used. Grepping the public : source that is contained Fedora 20 source DVD, there appear to be no : uses. Of course, this says nothing about uses in private / : non-mainstream FOSS code, but it seems likely that the same pattern : is followed there. : : * The existing behavior is hard enough to understand that I suspect : that no one understood it well enough to rely on it anyway : (especially as that behavior contradicted both man page and POSIX). : : So, there's a chance of breakage, but I estimate that it's minute.

When trying to understand semop code, I found a small mistake in the check for semadj (undo) value overflow. The new undo value is not stored immediately and next potential checks are done against the old value. The failing scenario is not much practical. One semop call has to do more operations on the same semaphore. Also semval and semadj must have different values, so there has to be some operations without SEM_UNDO flag. For example: struct sembuf depositor_op[1]; struct sembuf collector_op[2]; depositor_op[0].sem_num = 0; depositor_op[0].sem_op = 20000; depositor_op[0].sem_flg = 0; collector_op[0].sem_num = 0; collector_op[0].sem_op = -10000; collector_op[0].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO; collector_op[1].sem_num = 0; collector_op[1].sem_op = -10000; collector_op[1].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO; if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 1st deposit"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 1st collect"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 2nd deposit"); return 1; } if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1) { perror("Failed to do 2nd collect"); return 1; } return 0; It passes without error now but the semadj value has overflown in the 2nd collector operation.

After acquiring the semlock spinlock, operations must test that the array is still valid. - semctl() and exit_sem() would walk stale linked lists (ugly, but should be ok: all lists are empty) - semtimedop() would sleep forever - and if woken up due to a signal - access memory after free. The patch also: - standardizes the tests for .deleted, so that all tests in one function leave the function with the same approach. - unconditionally tests for .deleted immediately after every call to sem_lock - even it it means that for semctl(GETALL), .deleted will be tested twice. Both changes make the review simpler: After every sem_lock, there must be a test of .deleted, followed by a goto to the cleanup code (if the function uses "goto cleanup"). The only exception is semctl_down(): If sem_ids().rwsem is locked, then the presence in ids->ipcs_idr is equivalent to !.deleted, thus no additional test is required.

In commit 0a2b9d4c ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section"), the update of semaphore's sem_otime(last semop time) was moved to one central position (do_smart_update). But since do_smart_update() is only called for operations that modify the array, this means that wait-for-zero semops do not update sem_otime anymore. The fix is simple: Non-alter operations must update sem_otime.

Operations that need access to the whole array must guarantee that there are no simple operations ongoing. Right now this is achieved by spin_unlock_wait(sem->lock) on all semaphores. If complex_count is nonzero, then this spin_unlock_wait() is not necessary, because it was already performed in the past by the thread that increased complex_count and even though sem_perm.lock was dropped inbetween, no simple operation could have started, because simple operations cannot start when complex_count is non-zero.

The exclusion of complex operations in sem_lock() is insufficient: after acquiring the per-semaphore lock, a simple op must first check that sem_perm.lock is not locked and only after that test check complex_count. The current code does it the other way around - and that creates a race. Details are below. The patch is a complete rewrite of sem_lock(), based in part on the code from Mike Galbraith. It removes all gotos and all loops and thus the risk of livelocks. I have tested the patch (together with the next one) on my i3 laptop and it didn't cause any problems. The bug is probably also present in 3.10 and 3.11, but for these kernels it might be simpler just to move the test of sma->complex_count after the spin_is_locked() test.

Currently, IPC mechanisms do security and auditing related checks under RCU. However, since security modules can free the security structure, for example, through selinux_[sem,msg_queue,shm]_free_security(), we can race if the structure is freed before other tasks are done with it, creating a use-after-free condition. Manfred illustrates this nicely, for instance with shared mem and selinux: -> do_shmat calls rcu_read_lock() -> do_shmat calls shm_object_check(). Checks that the object is still valid - but doesn't acquire any locks. Then it returns. -> do_shmat calls security_shm_shmat (e.g. selinux_shm_shmat) -> selinux_shm_shmat calls ipc_has_perm() -> ipc_has_perm accesses ipc_perms->security shm_close() -> shm_close acquires rw_mutex & shm_lock -> shm_close calls shm_destroy -> shm_destroy calls security_shm_free (e.g. selinux_shm_free_security) -> selinux_shm_free_security calls ipc_free_security(&shp->shm_perm) -> ipc_free_security calls kfree(ipc_perms->security) This patch delays the freeing of the security structures after all RCU readers are done. Furthermore it aligns the security life cycle with that of the rest of IPC - freeing them based on the reference counter. For situations where we need not free security, the current behavior is kept. Linus states: "... the old behavior was suspect for another reason too: having the security blob go away from under a user sounds like it could cause various other problems anyway, so I think the old code was at least _prone_ to bugs even if it didn't have catastrophic behavior." I have tested this patch with IPC testcases from LTP on both my quad-core laptop and on a 64 core NUMA server. In both cases selinux is enabled, and tests pass for both voluntary and forced preemption models. While the mentioned races are theoretical (at least no one as reported them), I wanted to make sure that this new logic doesn't break anything we weren't aware of.

There are two places that can contain alter operations: - the global queue: sma->pending_alter - the per-semaphore queues: sma->sem_base[].pending_alter. Since one of the queues must be processed first, this causes an odd priorization of the wakeups: complex operations have priority over simple ops. The patch restores the behavior of linux <=3.0.9: The longest waiting operation has the highest priority. This is done by using only one queue: - if there are complex ops, then sma->pending_alter is used. - otherwise, the per-semaphore queues are used. As a side effect, do_smart_update_queue() becomes much simpler: no more goto logic.

Interleave 2 in order use first the full cores. HT partially hides the delay from cacheline trashing, thus the improvement is "only" 8.7% if 4 threads are running.

This function currently acquires both the rw_mutex and the rcu lock on successful lookups, leaving the callers to explicitly unlock them, creating another two level locking situation. Make the callers (including those that still use ipcctl_pre_down()) explicitly lock and unlock the rwsem and rcu lock.

do_smart_update_queue() is called when an operation (semop, semctl(SETVAL), semctl(SETALL), ...) modified the array. It must check which of the sleeping tasks can proceed. do_smart_update_queue() missed a few wakeups: - if a sleeping complex op was completed, then all per-semaphore queues must be scanned - not only those that were modified by *sops - if a sleeping simple op proceeded, then the global queue must be scanned again And: - the test for "|sops == NULL) before scanning the global queue is not required: If the global queue is empty, then it doesn't need to be scanned - regardless of the reason for calling do_smart_update_queue() The patch is not optimized, i.e. even completing a wait-for-zero operation causes a rescan. This is done to keep the patch as simple as possible.

The semctl GETNCNT returns the number of semops waiting for the specified semaphore to become nonzero. After commit 9f1bc2c9 ("ipc,sem: have only one list in struct sem_queue"), the semops waiting on just one semaphore are waiting on that semaphore's list. In order to return the correct count, we have to walk that list too, in addition to the sem_array's list for complex operations.

This trivially combines two rcu_read_lock() calls in both sides of a if-statement into one single one in front of the if-statement. Split out as an independent cleanup from the previous commit.

With various straight RCU lock/unlock movements, one common exit path pattern had become rcu_read_unlock(); goto out_wakeup; and in fact there were no cases where we wanted to exit to out_wakeup _without_ releasing the RCU read lock. So replace that pattern with "goto out_rcu_wakeup", and remove the old out_wakeup.

sem_obtain_lock() was another of those functions that returned with the RCU lock held for reading in the success case. Move the RCU locking to the caller (semtimedop()), making it more obvious. We already did RCU locking elsewhere in that function. Side note: why does semtimedop() re-do the semphore lookup after the sleep, rather than just getting a reference to the semaphore it already looked up originally?

Fix another ipc locking buglet introduced by the scalability patches: when semctl_down() was changed to delay the semaphore locking, one error path for security_sem_semctl() went through the semaphore unlock logic even though the semaphore had never been locked.
