      llseek: automatically add .llseek fop · 6038f373
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
      nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
      .llseek pointer.
      
      The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
      and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
      the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
      the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
      
      New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
      and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
      to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
      relies on calling seek on the device file.
      
      The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
      comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
      chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
      be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
      seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
      
      Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
      the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
      
      Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
      patch that does all this.

      proc: stop using BKL · b4df2b92
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      There are four BKL users in proc: de_put(), proc_lookup_de(),
      proc_readdir_de(), proc_root_readdir(),
      
      1) de_put()
      -----------
      de_put() is classic atomic_dec_and_test() refcount wrapper -- no BKL
      needed. BKL doesn't matter to possible refcount leak as well.
      
      2) proc_lookup_de()
      -------------------
      Walking PDE list is protected by proc_subdir_lock(), proc_get_inode() is
      potentially blocking, all callers of proc_lookup_de() eventually end up
      from ->lookup hooks which is protected by directory's ->i_mutex -- BKL
      doesn't protect anything.
      
      3) proc_readdir_de()
      --------------------
      "." and ".." part doesn't need BKL, walking PDE list is under
      proc_subdir_lock, calling filldir callback is potentially blocking
      because it writes to luserspace. All proc_readdir_de() callers
      eventually come from ->readdir hook which is under directory's
      ->i_mutex -- BKL doesn't protect anything.
      
      4) proc_root_readdir_de()
      -------------------------
      proc_root_readdir_de is ->readdir hook, see (3).
      
      Since readdir hooks doesn't use BKL anymore, switch to
      generic_file_llseek, since it also takes directory's i_mutex.

      proc: introduce proc_create_data to setup de->data · 59b74351
      Denis V. Lunev 提交于
      This set of patches fixes an proc ->open'less usage due to ->proc_fops flip in
      the most part of the kernel code.  The original OOPS is described in the
      commit 2d3a4e36:
      
          Typical PDE creation code looks like:
      
          	pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL);
          	if (pde)
          		pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops;
      
          Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to
          final value. This is a problem because right after creation
          a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and
          b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's
             possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below).
      
          The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are
          set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like:
      
          	pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops);
          	if (!pde)
          		return -ENOMEM;
      
          Fix most networking users for a start.
      
          In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go.
      
      In addition to this, proc_create_data is introduced to fix reading from
      proc without PDE->data. The race is basically the same as above.
      
      create_proc_entries is replaced in the entire kernel code as new method
      is also simply better.
      
      This patch:
      
      The problem is the same as for de->proc_fops.  Right now PDE becomes visible
      without data set.  So, the entry could be looked up without data.  This, in
      most cases, will simply OOPS.
      
      proc_create_data call is created to address this issue.  proc_create now
      becomes a wrapper around it.

      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.

      proc: fix NULL ->i_fop oops · c2319540
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      proc_kill_inodes() can clear ->i_fop in the middle of vfs_readdir resulting in
      NULL dereference during "file->f_op->readdir(file, buf, filler)".
      
      The solution is to remove proc_kill_inodes() completely:
      
      a) we don't have tricky modules implementing their tricky readdir hooks which
         could keeping this revoke from hell.
      
      b) In a situation when module is gone but PDE still alive, standard
         readdir will return only "." and "..", because pde->next was cleared by
         remove_proc_entry().
      
      c) the race proc_kill_inode() destined to prevent is not completely
         fixed, just race window made smaller, because vfs_readdir() is run
         without sb_lock held and without file_list_lock held.  Effectively,
         ->i_fop is cleared at random moment, which can't fix properly anything.

      pid namespaces: initialize the namespace's proc_mnt · 6f4e6433
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      The namespace's proc_mnt must be kern_mount-ed to make this pointer always
      valid, independently of whether the user space mounted the proc or not.  This
      solves raced in proc_flush_task, etc.  with the proc_mnt switching from NULL
      to not-NULL.
      
      The initialization is done after the init's pid is created and hashed to make
      proc_get_sb() finr it and get for root inode.
      
      Sice the namespace holds the vfsmnt, vfsmnt holds the superblock and the
      superblock holds the namespace we must explicitly break this circle to destroy
      all the stuff.  This is done after the init of the namespace dies.  Running a
      few steps forward - when init exits it will kill all its children, so no
      proc_mnt will be needed after its death.

      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.

      [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace · 457c4cbc
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
      variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
      The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
      and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
      This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
      usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
      has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
      
      Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
      in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
      network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
      that are relevant to a single network namespace.

      [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.

      binfmt_misc has a mount point in the middle of the sysctl and that mount point

      Doing it that way gets in the way of cleaning up the sysctl proc support as it
      continues the existence of a horrible hack.  So instead simply create the
      directory as an ordinary sysctl directory.  At least that removes the magic

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount · 454e2398
      David Howells 提交于
      Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
      permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
      
      The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
      pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
      which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
      superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
      
      The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
      superblock pointer.
      
      This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
      points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
      such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
      and mnt_sb would be set directly.
      
      The patch also makes the following changes:
      
       (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
           pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
           very little.
      
       (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
           normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
           always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
      
       (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
           dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
      
           This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
           aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
           currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
           and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
           dentries being left unculled.
      
           However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
           implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
           simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
           inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
           with child trees.
      
           [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
      
       (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
           changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

      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!
