      autofs: make the autofsv5 packet file descriptor use a packetized pipe · 64f371bc
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The autofs packet size has had a very unfortunate size problem on x86:
      because the alignment of 'u64' differs in 32-bit and 64-bit modes, and
      because the packet data was not 8-byte aligned, the size of the autofsv5
      packet structure differed between 32-bit and 64-bit modes despite
      looking otherwise identical (300 vs 304 bytes respectively).
      
      We first fixed that up by making the 64-bit compat mode know about this
      problem in commit a32744d4 ("autofs: work around unhappy compat
      problem on x86-64"), and that made a 32-bit 'systemd' work happily on a
      64-bit kernel because everything then worked the same way as on a 32-bit
      kernel.
      
      But it turned out that 'automount' had actually known and worked around
      this problem in user space, so fixing the kernel to do the proper 32-bit
      compatibility handling actually *broke* 32-bit automount on a 64-bit
      kernel, because it knew that the packet sizes were wrong and expected
      those incorrect sizes.
      
      As a result, we ended up reverting that compatibility mode fix, and
      thus breaking systemd again, in commit fcbf94b9.
      
      With both automount and systemd doing a single read() system call, and
      verifying that they get *exactly* the size they expect but using
      different sizes, it seemed that fixing one of them inevitably seemed to
      break the other.  At one point, a patch I seriously considered applying
      from Michael Tokarev did a "strcmp()" to see if it was automount that
      was doing the operation.  Ugly, ugly.
      
      However, a prettier solution exists now thanks to the packetized pipe
      mode.  By marking the communication pipe as being packetized (by simply
      setting the O_DIRECT flag), we can always just write the bigger packet
      size, and if user-space does a smaller read, it will just get that
      partial end result and the extra alignment padding will simply be thrown
      away.
      
      This makes both automount and systemd happy, since they now get the size
      they asked for, and the kernel side of autofs simply no longer needs to
      care - it could pad out the packet arbitrarily.
      
      Of course, if there is some *other* user of autofs (please, please,
      please tell me it ain't so - and we haven't heard of any) that tries to
      read the packets with multiple writes, that other user will now be
      broken - the whole point of the packetized mode is that one system call
      gets exactly one packet, and you cannot read a packet in pieces.

      The file Documentation/power/freezing-of-tasks.txt was still referencing
      the TIF_FREEZE flag, that was removed by the commit
      d88e4cb6(freezer: remove now unused

      pipes: add a "packetized pipe" mode for writing · 9883035a
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The actual internal pipe implementation is already really about
      individual packets (called "pipe buffers"), and this simply exposes that
      as a special packetized mode.
      
      When we are in the packetized mode (marked by O_DIRECT as suggested by
      Alan Cox), a write() on a pipe will not merge the new data with previous
      writes, so each write will get a pipe buffer of its own.  The pipe
      buffer is then marked with the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET flag, which in turn
      will tell the reader side to break the read at that boundary (and throw
      away any partial packet contents that do not fit in the read buffer).
      
      End result: as long as you do writes less than PIPE_BUF in size (so that
      the pipe doesn't have to split them up), you can now treat the pipe as a
      packet interface, where each read() system call will read one packet at
      a time.  You can just use a sufficiently big read buffer (PIPE_BUF is
      sufficient, since bigger than that doesn't guarantee atomicity anyway),
      and the return value of the read() will naturally give you the size of
      the packet.
      
      NOTE! We do not support zero-sized packets, and zero-sized reads and
      writes to a pipe continue to be no-ops.  Also note that big packets will
      currently be split at write time, but that the size at which that
      happens is not really specified (except that it's bigger than PIPE_BUF).
      Currently that limit is the system page size, but we might want to
      explicitly support bigger packets some day.
      
      The main user for this is going to be the autofs packet interface,
      allowing us to stop having to care so deeply about exact packet sizes
      (which have had bugs with 32/64-bit compatibility modes).  But user
      space can create packetized pipes with "pipe2(fd, O_DIRECT)", which will
      fail with an EINVAL on kernels that do not support this interface.
