2007-05-08VFS: delay the dentry name generation on sockets and pipesEric Dumazet2-6/+43
1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'. This method called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for special filesystems. It is called without locks. Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen); 2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations 3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/... 4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/...

2007-05-08proc: maps protectionKees Cook4-1/+29
The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive information about the memory location and usage of processes. Issues: - maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any kind of ASLR protection from local attackers. - maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid()) process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file. (For reference see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150) - a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents. This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing access to read the maps contents. To control this protection, the new knob /proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to the procfs documentation.

2007-05-08add filesystem subtype supportMiklos Szeredi4-6/+48
There's a slight problem with filesystem type representation in fuse based filesystems. From the kernel's view, there are just two filesystem types: fuse and fuseblk. From the user's view there are lots of different filesystem types. The user is not even much concerned if the filesystem is fuse based or not. So there's a conflict of interest in how this should be represented in fstab, mtab and /proc/mounts. The current scheme is to encode the real filesystem type in the mount source. So an sshfs mount looks like this: sshfs#user@server:/ /mnt/server fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,... This url-ish syntax works OK for sshfs and similar filesystems. However for block device based filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs) it doesn't work, since the kernel expects the mount source to be a real device name. A possibly better scheme would be to encode the real type in the type field as "type.subtype". So fuse mounts would look like this: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows fuseblk.ntfs-3g rw,... user@server:/ /mnt/server fuse.sshfs rw,nosuid,nodev,... This patch adds the necessary code to the kernel so that this can be correctly displayed in /proc/mounts.

2007-05-08epoll: optimizations and cleanupsDavide Libenzi1-147/+86
Epoll is doing multiple passes over the ready set at the moment, because of the constraints over the f_op->poll() call. Looking at the code again, I noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this (together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace (in a single pass). This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code. It spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many threads. Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems. http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit possible problems with the new code. Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark: http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c [1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()): 1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait 2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get (splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will not re-queue it if it sees it already linked: if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)) goto is_linked; Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(), coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten. Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait(). 5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next, it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink) that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point we're already past it.

2007-05-08ext3: dirindex error pointer issuesDmitriy Monakhov2-22/+30

2007-05-08Merge sys_clone()/sys_unshare() nsproxy and namespace handlingBadari Pulavarty1-23/+7
sys_clone() and sys_unshare() both makes copies of nsproxy and its associated namespaces. But they have different code paths. This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone handling (as much as possible). Posted on container list earlier for feedback. - Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to caller to attach it to right process. - Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy. - Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines. - Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON() just incase. - Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of copy_*_ns() instead.

2007-05-08exec: fix remove_arg_zeroNick Piggin1-16/+34
Petr Tesarik discovered a problem in remove_arg_zero(). He writes: When a script is loaded, load_script() replaces argv[0] with the name of the interpreter and the filename passed to the exec syscall. However, there is no guarantee that the length of the interpreter name plus the length of the filename is greater than the length of the original argv[0]. If the difference happens to cross a page boundary, setup_arg_pages() will call put_dirty_page() [aka install_arg_page()] with an address outside the VMA. Therefore, remove_arg_zero() must free all pages which would be unused after the argument is removed. So, rewrite the remove_arg_zero function without gotos, with a few comments, and with the commonly used explicit index/offset. This fixes the problem and makes it easier to understand as well.

Teach the dentry slab shrinker to aggressively shrink parent dentries when shrinking the dentry cache. This is done to attempt to improve the situation where the dentry slab cache gets a lot of internal fragmentation due to pages containing directory dentries. It is expected that this change will cause some of those dentries to be reaped earlier, and with less scanning. Needs careful testing.

2007-05-08fix quadratic behavior of shrink_dcache_parent()Miklos Szeredi1-37/+67
The time shrink_dcache_parent() takes, grows quadratically with the depth of the tree under 'parent'. This starts to get noticable at about 10,000. These kinds of depths don't occur normally, and filesystems which invoke shrink_dcache_parent() via d_invalidate() seem to have other depth dependent timings, so it's not even easy to expose this problem. However with FUSE it's easy to create a deep tree and d_invalidate() will also get called. This can make a syscall hang for a very long time. This is the original discovery of the problem by Russ Cox: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.fuse.devel/3826 The following patch fixes the quadratic behavior, by optionally allowing prune_dcache() to prune ancestors of a dentry in one go, instead of doing it one at a time. Common code in dput() and prune_one_dentry() is extracted into a new helper function d_kill(). shrink_dcache_parent() as well as shrink_dcache_sb() are converted to use the ancestry-pruner option. Only for shrink_dcache_memory() is this behavior not desirable, so it keeps using the old algorithm.

2007-05-08reduce size of task_struct on 64-bit machinesWilliam Cohen1-2/+2
This past week I was playing around with that pahole tool (http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/acme/dwarves/) and looking at the size of various struct in the kernel. I was surprised by the size of the task_struct on x86_64, approaching 4K. I looked through the fields in task_struct and found that a number of them were declared as "unsigned long" rather than "unsigned int" despite them appearing okay as 32-bit sized fields. On x86_64 "unsigned long" ends up being 8 bytes in size and forces 8 byte alignment. Is there a reason there a reason they are "unsigned long"? The patch below drops the size of the struct from 3808 bytes (60 64-byte cachelines) to 3760 bytes (59 64-byte cachelines). A couple other fields in the task struct take a signficant amount of space: struct thread_struct thread; 688 struct held_lock held_locks[30]; 1680 CONFIG_LOCKDEP is turned on in the .config [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix printk warnings] Cc: <linux-arch@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Cc: Andreas Dilger <adilger@dilger.ca> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Andreas says: This patch is now treating timestamps with the high bit set as negative times (before Jan 1, 1970). This means we lose 1/2 of the possible range of timestamps (lopping off 68 years before unix timestamp overflow - now only 30 years away :-) to handle the extremely rare case of setting timestamps into the distant past. If we are only interested in fixing the underflow case, we could just limit the values to 0 instead of storing negative values. At worst this will skew the timestamp by a few hours for timezones in the far east (files would still show Jan 1, 1970 in "ls -l" output). That said, it seems 32-bit systems (mine at least) allow files to be set into the past (01/01/1907 works fine) so it seems this patch is bringing the x86_64 behaviour into sync with other kernels. On the plus side, we have a patch that is ready to add nanosecond timestamps to ext3 and as an added bonus adds 2 high bits to the on-disk timestamp so this extends the maximum date to 2242.

This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561 (Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP, BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix! Tinyboards. The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean, orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC (Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single instruction-set architecture. The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete documentation, including "getting started" guides available at: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for bfin-linux-uclibc This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution, uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/ We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can be found at: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=testing_the_linux_kernel [m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl: balance parenthesis in blackfin header files] Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl> Signed-off-by: Aubrey Li <aubrey.li@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Jie Zhang <jie.zhang@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-05-07slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter44-90/+45
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.

Remove duplicate work in kill_bdev(). It currently invalidates and then truncates the bdev's mapping. invalidate_mapping_pages() will opportunistically remove pages from the mapping. And truncate_inode_pages() will forcefully remove all pages. The only thing truncate doesn't do is flush the bh lrus. So do that explicitly. This avoids (very unlikely) but possible invalid lookup results if the same bdev is quickly re-issued. It also will prevent extreme kernel latencies which are observed when blockdevs which have a large amount of pagecache are unmounted, by avoiding invalidate_mapping_pages() on that path. invalidate_mapping_pages() has no cond_resched (it can be called under spinlock), whereas truncate_inode_pages() has one.
