futex_find_get_task is currently used (through lookup_pi_state) from two contexts, futex_requeue and futex_lock_pi_atomic. None of the paths looks it needs the credentials check, though. Different (e)uids shouldn't matter at all because the only thing that is important for shared futex is the accessibility of the shared memory. The credentail check results in glibc assert failure or process hang (if glibc is compiled without assert support) for shared robust pthread mutex with priority inheritance if a process tries to lock already held lock owned by a process with a different euid: pthread_mutex_lock.c:312: __pthread_mutex_lock_full: Assertion `(-(e)) != 3 || !robust' failed. The problem is that futex_lock_pi_atomic which is called when we try to lock already held lock checks the current holder (tid is stored in the futex value) to get the PI state. It uses lookup_pi_state which in turn gets task struct from futex_find_get_task. ESRCH is returned either when the task is not found or if credentials check fails. futex_lock_pi_atomic simply returns if it gets ESRCH. glibc code, however, doesn't expect that robust lock returns with ESRCH because it should get either success or owner died.

The WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state which complains about a mismatch between pi_state->owner->pid and the pid which we retrieved from the user space futex is completely bogus. The code just emits the warning and then continues despite the fact that it detected an inconsistent state of the futex. A conveniant way for user space to spam the syslog. Replace the WARN_ON by a consistency check. If the values do not match return -EINVAL and let user space deal with the mess it created. This also fixes the missing task_pid_vnr() when we compare the pi_state->owner pid with the futex value.

If the owner of a PI futex dies we fix up the pi_state and set pi_state->owner to NULL. When a malicious or just sloppy programmed user space application sets the futex value to 0 e.g. by calling pthread_mutex_init(), then the futex can be acquired again. A new waiter manages to enqueue itself on the pi_state w/o damage, but on unlock the kernel dereferences pi_state->owner and oopses. Prevent this by checking pi_state->owner in the unlock path. If pi_state->owner is not current we know that user space manipulated the futex value. Ignore the mess and return -EINVAL. This catches the above case and also the case where a task hijacks the futex by setting the tid value and then tries to unlock it.

This fixes a futex key reference count bug in futex_lock_pi(), where a key's reference count is incremented twice but decremented only once, causing the backing object to not be released. If the futex is created in a temporary file in an ext3 file system, this bug causes the file's inode to become an "undead" orphan, which causes an oops from a BUG_ON() in ext3_put_super() when the file system is unmounted. glibc's test suite is known to trigger this, see <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14256>. The bug is a regression from 2.6.28-git3, namely Peter Zijlstra's 38d47c1b "[PATCH] futex: rely on get_user_pages() for shared futexes". That commit made get_futex_key() also increment the reference count of the futex key, and updated its callers to decrement the key's reference count before returning. Unfortunately the normal exit path in futex_lock_pi() wasn't corrected: the reference count is incremented by get_futex_key() and queue_lock(), but the normal exit path only decrements once, via unqueue_me_pi(). The fix is to put_futex_key() after unqueue_me_pi(), since 2.6.31 this is easily done by 'goto out_put_key' rather than 'goto out'.

Currently, futexes have two problem: A) The current futex code doesn't handle private file mappings properly. get_futex_key() uses PageAnon() to distinguish file and anon, which can cause the following bad scenario: 1) thread-A call futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAIT), it sleeps on file mapping object. 2) thread-B writes a variable and it makes it cow. 3) thread-B calls futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAKE), it wakes up blocked thread on the anonymous page. (but it's nothing) B) Current futex code doesn't handle zero page properly. Read mode get_user_pages() can return zero page, but current futex code doesn't handle it at all. Then, zero page makes infinite loop internally. The solution is to use write mode get_user_page() always for page lookup. It prevents the lookup of both file page of private mappings and zero page. Performance concerns: Probaly very little, because glibc always initialize variables for futex before to call futex(). It means glibc users never see the overhead of this patch. Compatibility concerns: This patch has few compatibility issues. After this patch, FUTEX_WAIT require writable access to futex variables (read-only mappings makes EFAULT). But practically it's not a problem, glibc always initalizes variables for futexes explicitly - nobody uses read-only mappings.

The requeue_pi path doesn't use unqueue_me() (and the racy lock_ptr == NULL test) nor does it use the wake_list of futex_wake() which where the reason for commit 41890f2 (futex: Handle spurious wake up) See debugging discussing on LKML Message-ID: <4AD4080C.20703@us.ibm.com> The changes in this fix to the wait_requeue_pi path were considered to be a likely unecessary, but harmless safety net. But it turns out that due to the fact that for unknown $@#!*( reasons EWOULDBLOCK is defined as EAGAIN we built an endless loop in the code path which returns correctly EWOULDBLOCK. Spurious wakeups in wait_requeue_pi code path are unlikely so we do the easy solution and return EWOULDBLOCK^WEAGAIN to user space and let it deal with the spurious wakeup.

When requeuing tasks from one futex to another, the reference held by the requeued task to the original futex location needs to be dropped eventually. Dropping the reference may ultimately lead to a call to "iput_final" and subsequently call into filesystem- specific code - which may be non-atomic. It is therefore safer to defer this drop operation until after the futex_hash_bucket spinlock has been dropped.

The futex code does not handle spurious wake up in futex_wait and futex_wait_requeue_pi. The code assumes that any wake up which was not caused by futex_wake / requeue or by a timeout was caused by a signal wake up and returns one of the syscall restart error codes. In case of a spurious wake up the signal delivery code which deals with the restart error codes is not invoked and we return that error code to user space. That causes applications which actually check the return codes to fail. Blaise reported that on preempt-rt a python test program run into a exception trap. -rt exposed that due to a built in spurious wake up accelerator :) Solve this by checking signal_pending(current) in the wake up path and handle the spurious wake up case w/o returning to user space.

PI futexes do not use the same plist_node_empty() test for wakeup. It was possible for the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) to set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after the waker assigned the rtmutex to the waiter. The waiter would then note the plist was not empty and call schedule(). The task would not be found by any subsequeuent futex wakeups, resulting in a userspace hang. By moving the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to before the call to queue_me(), the race with the waker is eliminated. Since we no longer call get_user() from within queue_me(), there is no need to delay the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE until after the call to queue_me(). The FUTEX_LOCK_PI operation is not affected as futex_lock_pi() relies entirely on the rtmutex code to handle schedule() and wakeup. The requeue PI code is affected because the waiter starts as a non-PI waiter and is woken on a PI futex. Remove the crusty old comment about holding spinlocks() across get_user() as we no longer do that. Correct the locking statement with a description of why the test is performed.

There is currently no check to ensure that userspace uses the same futex requeue target (uaddr2) in futex_requeue() that the waiter used in futex_wait_requeue_pi(). A mismatch here could very unexpected results as the waiter assumes it either wakes on uaddr1 or uaddr2. We could detect this on wakeup in the waiter, but the cleanup is more intense after the improper requeue has occured. This patch stores the waiter's expected requeue target in a new requeue_pi_key pointer in the futex_q which futex_requeue() checks prior to attempting to do a proxy lock acquistion or a requeue when requeue_pi=1. If they don't match, return -EINVAL from futex_requeue, aborting the requeue of any remaining waiters.

futex_requeue() can acquire the lock on behalf of a waiter early on or during the requeue loop if it is uncontended or in the event of a lock steal or owner died. On wakeup, the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) cleans up the pi_state owner using the lock_ptr to protect against concurrent access to the pi_state. The pi_state is hung off futex_q's on the requeue target futex hash bucket so the lock_ptr needs to be updated accordingly. The problem manifested by triggering the WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state() about the pid != pi_state->owner->pid. With this patch, the pi_state is properly guarded against concurrent access via the requeue target hb lock. The astute reviewer may notice that there is a window of time between when futex_requeue() unlocks the hb locks and when futex_wait_requeue_pi() will acquire hb2->lock. During this time the pi_state and uval are not in sync with the underlying rtmutex owner (but the uval does indicate there are waiters, so no atomic changes will occur in userspace). However, this is not a problem. Should a contending thread enter lookup_pi_state() and acquire hb2->lock before the ownership is fixed up, it will find the pi_state hung off a waiter's (possibly the pending owner's) futex_q and block on the rtmutex. Once futex_wait_requeue_pi() fixes up the owner, it will also move the pi_state from the old owner's task->pi_state_list to its own. v3: Fix plist lock name for application to mainline (rather than -rt) Compile tested against tip/v2.6.31-rc5.

get_futex_key() can infinitely loop if it is called on a virtual address that is within a huge page but not aligned to the beginning of that page. The call to get_user_pages_fast will return the struct page for a sub-page within the huge page and the check for page->mapping will always fail. The fix is to call compound_head on the page before checking that it's mapped.

Yanmin noticed that fault_in_user_writeable() requests 4 pages instead of one. That's the result of blindly trusting Linus' proposal :) I even looked up the prototype to verify the correctness: the argument in question is confusingly enough named "len" while in reality it means number of pages.

commit 64d1304a (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write access faults. The patch was made on two wrong assumptions: 1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access. On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check. 2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us. That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again. The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to fault it in with verification of write access. There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF overhead. If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it anymore and need to bail out to user space. Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

If the waiter has been requeued to the outer PI futex and is interrupted by a signal and the thread handles the signal then ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK is changed to EINTR and the restart block is discarded. That way we return an unexcpected EINTR to user space instead of ending up in futex_lock_pi_restart. But we do not need to restart the syscall because we know that the condition has changed since we have been requeued. If we would simply restart the syscall then we would drop out via the comparison of the user space value with EWOULDBLOCK. The user space side needs to handle EWOULDBLOCK anyway as the enqueueing on the inner futex can race with a requeue/wake. So we can simply return EWOULDBLOCK to user space which also signals that we did not take the outer futex and let user space handle it in the same way it has to handle the requeue/wake race.

The futex_wait_requeue_pi op should restart unconditionally like futex_lock_pi. The user of that function e.g. pthread_cond_wait can not be interrupted so we do not care about the SA_RESTART flag of the signal. Clean up the FIXMEs. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The futex code installs a read only mapping via get_user_pages_fast() even if the futex op function has to modify user space data. The eventual fault was fixed up by futex_handle_fault() which walked the VMA with mmap_sem held. After the cleanup patches which removed the mmap_sem dependency of the futex code commit 4dc5b7a36a49eff97050894cf1b3a9a02523717 (futex: clean up fault logic) removed the private VMA walk logic from the futex code. This change results in a stale RO mapping which is not fixed up. Instead of reintroducing the previous fault logic we set up the mapping in get_user_pages_fast() read/write for all operations which modify user space data. Also handle private futexes in the same way and make the current unconditional access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE) depend on the futex op.

The waitqueue which is used in struct futex_q is a leftover from the futexfd implementation. There is no need to use a waitqueue at all, as the waiting task is the only user of it. The waitqueue just adds additional locking and a loop in the wake up path which both can be avoided. We have already a task reference in struct futex_q which is used for PI futexes. Use it for normal futexes as well and just wake up the task directly. The logic of signalling the futex wakeup via setting q->lock_ptr to NULL is kept with the difference that we set it NULL before doing the wakeup. This opens an exit race window vs. a non futex wake up of the to be woken up task, which we prevent with get_task_struct / put_task_struct on the waiter.

The new requeue PI futex op codes were modeled after the existing FUTEX_REQUEUE and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE calls. I was unaware at the time that FUTEX_REQUEUE was only around for compatibility reasons and shouldn't be used in new code. Ulrich Drepper elaborates on this in his Futexes are Tricky paper: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/futex.pdf. The deprecated call doesn't catch changes to the futex corresponding to the destination futex which can lead to deadlock. Therefor, I feel it best to remove FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI and leave only FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI as there are not yet any existing users of the API. This patch does change the OP code value of FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI to 12 from 13. Since my test case is the only known user of this API, I felt this was the right thing to do, rather than leave a hole in the enumeration. I chose to continue using the _CMP_ modifier in the OP code to make it explicit to the user that the test is being done. Builds, boots, and ran several hundred iterations requeue_pi.c.

Thomas's testing caught a problem when the requeue target futex is unowned and multiple tasks are requeued to it. This patch ensures the FUTEX_WAITERS bit gets set if futex_requeue() will requeue one or more tasks in addition to the one acquiring the lock.

PI Futexes and their underlying rt_mutex cannot be left ownerless if there are pending waiters as this will break the PI boosting logic, so the standard requeue commands aren't sufficient. The new commands properly manage pi futex ownership by ensuring a futex with waiters has an owner at all times. This will allow glibc to properly handle pi mutexes with pthread_condvars. The approach taken here is to create two new futex op codes: FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI: Tasks will use this op code to wait on a futex (such as a non-pi waitqueue) and wake after they have been requeued to a pi futex. Prior to returning to userspace, they will acquire this pi futex (and the underlying rt_mutex). futex_wait_requeue_pi() is the result of a high speed collision between futex_wait() and futex_lock_pi() (with the first part of futex_lock_pi() being done by futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() on behalf of the top_waiter). FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI): This call must be used to wake tasks waiting with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, regardless of how many tasks the caller intends to wake or requeue. pthread_cond_broadcast() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=INT_MAX. pthread_cond_signal() should call this with nr_wake=1 and nr_requeue=0. The reason being we need both callers to get the benefit of the futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() routine. futex_requeue() also enqueues the top_waiter on the rt_mutex via rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock().
