      parallel lookups: actual switch to rwsem · 9902af79

      ta-da!
      
      The main issue is the lack of down_write_killable(), so the places
      like readdir.c switched to plain inode_lock(); once killable
      variants of rwsem primitives appear, that'll be dealt with.
      
      lockdep side also might need more work

      parallel lookups machinery, part 2 · 84e710da
      Al Viro 提交于
      We'll need to verify that there's neither a hashed nor in-lookup
      dentry with desired parent/name before adding to in-lookup set.
      
      One possible solution would be to hold the parent's ->d_lock through
      both checks, but while the in-lookup set is relatively small at any
      time, dcache is not.  And holding the parent's ->d_lock through
      something like __d_lookup_rcu() would suck too badly.
      
      So we leave the parent's ->d_lock alone, which means that we watch
      out for the following scenario:
      	* we verify that there's no hashed match
      	* existing in-lookup match gets hashed by another process
      	* we verify that there's no in-lookup matches and decide
      that everything's fine.
      
      Solution: per-directory kinda-sorta seqlock, bumped around the times
      we hash something that used to be in-lookup or move (and hash)
      something in place of in-lookup.  Then the above would turn into
      	* read the counter
      	* do dcache lookup
      	* if no matches found, check for in-lookup matches
      	* if there had been none of those either, check if the
      counter has changed; repeat if it has.
      
      The "kinda-sorta" part is due to the fact that we don't have much spare
      space in inode.  There is a spare word (shared with i_bdev/i_cdev/i_pipe),
      so the counter part is not a problem, but spinlock is a different story.
      
      We could use the parent's ->d_lock, and it would be less painful in
      terms of contention, for __d_add() it would be rather inconvenient to
      grab; we could do that (using lock_parent()), but...
      
      Fortunately, we can get serialization on the counter itself, and it
      might be a good idea in general; we can use cmpxchg() in a loop to
      get from even to odd and smp_store_release() from odd to even.
      
      This commit adds the counter and updating logics; the readers will be
      added in the next commit.

      mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros · 09cbfeaf
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
      ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
      cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
      
      This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.
      
      We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
      PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
      PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
      especially on the border between fs and mm.
      
      Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
      breakage to be doable.
      
      Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
      not.
      
      The changes are pretty straight-forward:
      
       - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
      
       - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
      
       - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
      
       - page_cache_get() -> get_page();
      
       - page_cache_release() -> put_page();
      
      This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
      script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
      I've called spatch for them manually.
      
      The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
      PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
      
      There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
      fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
      will be addressed with the separate patch.

      posix_acl: Inode acl caching fixes · b8a7a3a6
      Andreas Gruenbacher 提交于
      When get_acl() is called for an inode whose ACL is not cached yet, the
      get_acl inode operation is called to fetch the ACL from the filesystem.
      The inode operation is responsible for updating the cached acl with
      set_cached_acl().  This is done without locking at the VFS level, so
      another task can call set_cached_acl() or forget_cached_acl() before the
      get_acl inode operation gets to calling set_cached_acl(), and then
      get_acl's call to set_cached_acl() results in caching an outdate ACL.
      
      Prevent this from happening by setting the cached ACL pointer to a
      task-specific sentinel value before calling the get_acl inode operation.
      Move the responsibility for updating the cached ACL from the get_acl
      inode operations to get_acl().  There, only set the cached ACL if the
      sentinel value hasn't changed.
      
      The sentinel values are chosen to have odd values.  Likewise, the value
      of ACL_NOT_CACHED is odd.  In contrast, ACL object pointers always have
      an even value (ACLs are aligned in memory).  This allows to distinguish
      uncached ACLs values from ACL objects.
      
      In addition, switch from guarding inode->i_acl and inode->i_default_acl
      upates by the inode->i_lock spinlock to using xchg() and cmpxchg().
      
      Filesystems that do not want ACLs returned from their get_acl inode
      operations to be cached must call forget_cached_acl() to prevent the VFS
      from doing so.

      chrdev: emit a warning when we go below dynamic major range · 49db08c3
      Linus Walleij 提交于
      Currently a dynamically allocated character device major is taken
      from 254 and downward. This mechanism is used for RTC, IIO and a
      few other subsystems.
      
      The kernel currently has no check prevening these dynamic
      allocations from eating into the assigned numbers at 233 and
      downward.
      
      In a recent test it was reported that so many dynamic device
      majors were used on a test server, that the major number for
      infiniband (231) was stolen. This occurred when allocating a new
      major number for GPIO chips. The error messages from the kernel
      were not helpful. (See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/14/124)
      
      This patch adds a defined lower limit of the dynamic major
      allocation region will henceforth emit a warning if we start to
      eat into the assigned numbers. It does not do any semantic
      changes and will not change the kernels behaviour: numbers will
      still continue to be stolen, but we will know from dmesg what
      is going on.
      
      This also updates the Documentation/devices.txt to clearly
      reflect that we are using this range of major numbers for dynamic
      allocation.

      fs: add file_dentry() · d101a125
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      This series fixes bugs in nfs and ext4 due to 4bacc9c9 ("overlayfs:
      Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay").
      
      Regular files opened on overlayfs will result in the file being opened on
      the underlying filesystem, while f_path points to the overlayfs
      mount/dentry.
      
      This confuses filesystems which get the dentry from struct file and assume
      it's theirs.
      
      Add a new helper, file_dentry() [*], to get the filesystem's own dentry
      from the file.  This checks file->f_path.dentry->d_flags against
      DCACHE_OP_REAL, and returns file->f_path.dentry if DCACHE_OP_REAL is not
      set (this is the common, non-overlayfs case).
      
      In the uncommon case it will call into overlayfs's ->d_real() to get the
      underlying dentry, matching file_inode(file).
      
      The reason we need to check against the inode is that if the file is copied
      up while being open, d_real() would return the upper dentry, while the open
      file comes from the lower dentry.
      
      [*] If possible, it's better simply to use file_inode() instead.

      fs/coredump: prevent fsuid=0 dumps into user-controlled directories · 378c6520
      Jann Horn 提交于
      This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where
      all of the following conditions are fulfilled:
      
       - The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2.
       - The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems
         where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.)
       - Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is
         true on Linux >=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by
         default using a distro patch.)
      
      Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules,
      causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user
      namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be
      written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but
      this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process,
      allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with
      root privileges.
      
      To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that
      are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

      Mimi Zohar 提交于
      Replace copy_module_from_fd() with kernel_read_file_from_fd().
      
      Although none of the upstreamed LSMs define a kernel_module_from_file
      hook, IMA is called, based on policy, to prevent unsigned kernel modules
      from being loaded by the original kernel module syscall and to
      measure/appraise signed kernel modules.
      
      The security function security_kernel_module_from_file() was called prior
      to reading a kernel module.  Preventing unsigned kernel modules from being
      loaded by the original kernel module syscall remains on the pre-read
      kernel_read_file() security hook.  Instead of reading the kernel module
      twice, once for measuring/appraising and again for loading the kernel
      module, the signature validation is moved to the kernel_post_read_file()
      security hook.

      the in memory file buffer.  The firmware is read once.
      
      This patch removes the LSM kernel_fw_from_file() hook and security call.

      block: revert runtime dax control of the raw block device · 9f4736fe
      Dan Williams 提交于
      Dynamically enabling DAX requires that the page cache first be flushed
      and invalidated.  This must occur atomically with the change of DAX mode
      otherwise we confuse the fsync/msync tracking and violate data
      durability guarantees.  Eliminate the possibilty of DAX-disabled to
      DAX-enabled transitions for now and revisit this for the next cycle.

      fs, block: force direct-I/O for dax-enabled block devices · 65f87ee7
      Dan Williams 提交于
      Similar to the file I/O path, re-direct all I/O to the DAX path for I/O
      to a block-device special file.  Both regular files and device special
      files can use the common filp->f_mapping->host lookup to determing is
      DAX is enabled.
      
      Otherwise, we confuse the DAX code that does not expect to find live
      data in the page cache:

      dax: support dirty DAX entries in radix tree · f9fe48be
      Ross Zwisler 提交于
      Add support for tracking dirty DAX entries in the struct address_space
      radix tree.  This tree is already used for dirty page writeback, and it
      already supports the use of exceptional (non struct page*) entries.
      
      In order to properly track dirty DAX pages we will insert new
      exceptional entries into the radix tree that represent dirty DAX PTE or
      PMD pages.  These exceptional entries will also contain the writeback
      addresses for the PTE or PMD faults that we can use at fsync/msync time.
      
      There are currently two types of exceptional entries (shmem and shadow)
      that can be placed into the radix tree, and this adds a third.  We rely
      on the fact that only one type of exceptional entry can be found in a
      given radix tree based on its usage.  This happens for free with DAX vs
      shmem but we explicitly prevent shadow entries from being added to radix
      trees for DAX mappings.
      
      The only shadow entries that would be generated for DAX radix trees
      would be to track zero page mappings that were created for holes.  These
      pages would receive minimal benefit from having shadow entries, and the
      choice to have only one type of exceptional entry in a given radix tree
      makes the logic simpler both in clear_exceptional_entry() and in the
      rest of DAX.
