      mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache · 91b0abe3
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
      evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
      iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
      reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
      code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.
      
      Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
      under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
      for this flag before installing shadow pages.

      vfs: atomic f_pos accesses as per POSIX · 9c225f26
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get
      the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually
      guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so
      threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()"
      concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data.
      
      This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says:
      
       "2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations
      
        All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each
        other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on
        regular files or symbolic links: [...]"
      
      and one of the effects is the file position update.
      
      This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody
      has ever cared.  Until now.  Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to
      Michael Kerrisk that was due to this.
      
      This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by
      read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads
      or processes.

      fix O_SYNC|O_APPEND syncing the wrong range on write() · d311d79d
      Al Viro 提交于
      It actually goes back to 2004 ([PATCH] Concurrent O_SYNC write support)
      when sync_page_range() had been introduced; generic_file_write{,v}() correctly
      synced
      	pos_after_write - written .. pos_after_write - 1
      but generic_file_aio_write() synced
      	pos_before_write .. pos_before_write + written - 1
      instead.  Which is not the same thing with O_APPEND, obviously.
      A couple of years later correct variant had been killed off when
      everything switched to use of generic_file_aio_write().
      
      All users of generic_file_aio_write() are affected, and the same bug
      has been copied into other instances of ->aio_write().
      
      The fix is trivial; the only subtle point is that generic_write_sync()
      ought to be inlined to avoid calculations useless for the majority of
      calls.

      execve: use 'struct filename *' for executable name passing · c4ad8f98
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct
      filename', and to free it when it is done.  This is what the normal
      users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling.
      
      The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a
      use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the
      lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all
      obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize
      the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished,
      which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after
      mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory.
      
      To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces
      "getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname()
      function, except with the source coming from kernel memory.
      
      As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array
      from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers
      setup_new_exec().  That would be a separate cleanup.
