      proc: fix proc_dir_entry refcounting · 5a622f2d
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      Creating PDEs with refcount 0 and "deleted" flag has problems (see below).
      Switch to usual scheme:
      * PDE is created with refcount 1
      * every de_get does +1
      * every de_put() and remove_proc_entry() do -1
      * once refcount reaches 0, PDE is freed.
      
      This elegantly fixes at least two following races (both observed) without
      introducing new locks, without abusing old locks, without spreading
      lock_kernel():
      
      1) PDE leak
      
      remove_proc_entry			de_put
      -----------------			------
      			[refcnt = 1]
      if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)
      					if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
      						if (de->deleted)
      							/* also not taken! */
      							free_proc_entry(de);
      else
      	de->deleted = 1;
      		[refcount=0, deleted=1]
      
      2) use after free
      
      remove_proc_entry			de_put
      -----------------			------
      			[refcnt = 1]
      
      					if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
      if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)
      	free_proc_entry(de);
      						/* boom! */
      						if (de->deleted)
      							free_proc_entry(de);

      Also, remove broken usage of ->deleted from reiserfs: if sget() succeeds,
      module is already pinned and remove_proc_entry() can't happen => nobody
      can mark PDE deleted.
      
      Dummy proc root in netns code is not marked with refcount 1. AFAICS, we
      never get it, it's just for proper /proc/net removal. I double checked
      CLONE_NETNS continues to work.
      
      Patch survives many hours of modprobe/rmmod/cat loops without new bugs
      which can be attributed to refcounting.

      pid namespaces: make proc have multiple superblocks - one for each namespace · 07543f5c
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      Each pid namespace have to be visible through its own proc mount.  Thus we
      need to have per-namespace proc trees with their own superblocks.
      
      We cannot easily show different pid namespace via one global proc tree, since
      each pid refers to different tasks in different namespaces.  E.g.  pid 1
      refers to the init task in the initial namespace and to some other task when
      seeing from another namespace.  Moreover - pid, exisintg in one namespace may
      not exist in the other.
      
      This approach has one move advantage is that the tasks from the init namespace
      can see what tasks live in another namespace by reading entries from another
      proc tree.

      Fix select on /proc files without ->poll · dd23aae4
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      Taneli Vähäkangas <vahakang@cs.helsinki.fi> reported that commit
      786d7e16 aka "Fix rmmod/read/write races
      in /proc entries" broke SBCL + SLIME combo.
      
      The old code in do_select() used DEFAULT_POLLMASK, if couldn't find
      ->poll handler.  The new code makes ->poll always there and returns 0 by
      default, which is not correct.  Return DEFAULT_POLLMASK instead.
      
      Steps to reproduce:
      
      	install emacs, SBCL, SLIME
      	emacs
      	M-x slime	in *inferior-lisp* buffer
      	[watch it doing "Connecting to Swank on port X.."]
      
      Please, apply before 2.6.23.
      
      P.S.: why SBCL can't just read(2) /proc/cpuinfo is a mystery.

      mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create(). · 20c2df83
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
      c59def9f change. They've been
      BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
      either.
      
      This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
      completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
      about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
      or the documentation references).

         supplied by module is called, module dissapeares meanwhile.

      				if (file->f_op->read)
      					/* ->f_op dereference, boom */
      
      NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: file_operations are proxied for regular files only. Let's
      see how this scheme behaves, then extend if needed for directories.
      Directories creators in /proc only set ->owner for them, so proxying for
      directories may be unneeded.
      
      NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: methods being proxied are ->llseek, ->read, ->write,
      ->poll, ->unlocked_ioctl, ->ioctl, ->compat_ioctl, ->open, ->release.
      If your in-tree module uses something else, yell on me. Full audit pending.

      slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag · 50953fe9
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
      SLAB.
      
      I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
      to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
      performed before each freeing of an object.
      
      I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
      before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
      manipulation of the object.
      
      Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
      compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
      handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
      SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
      in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
      use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
      same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).
      
      There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
      clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
      pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.
      
      This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
      unimplemented flags from SLUB.

      [PATCH] sysctl: reimplement the sysctl proc support · 77b14db5
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      With this change the sysctl inodes can be cached and nothing needs to be done
      when removing a sysctl table.
      
      For a cost of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables (when we remove
      de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries that we will not allocate, or
      about half that on a 32bit arch.
      
      The speed feels about the same, even though we can now cache the sysctl
      dentries :(
      
      We get the core advantage that we don't need to have a 1 to 1 mapping between
      ctl table entries and proc files.  Making it possible to have /proc/sys vary
      depending on the namespace you are in.  The currently merged namespaces don't
      have an issue here but the network namespace under /proc/sys/net needs to have
      different directories depending on which network adapters are visible.  By
      simply being a cache different directories being visible depending on who you
      are is trivial to implement.

      Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD

      If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
      in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
      from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
      memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
      allocation on the node local to the current cpu.

      The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple.  I marked
      those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
      inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch.  Even
      though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
      potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
      spreading.
      
      Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
      SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
      the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
      Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
      slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
