2015-11-13f2fs: xattr simplificationsAndreas Gruenbacher
Now that the xattr handler is passed to the xattr handler operations, we have access to the attribute name prefix, so simplify f2fs_xattr_generic_list. Also, f2fs_xattr_advise_list is only ever called for f2fs_xattr_advise_handler; there is no need to double check for that.

2015-11-139p: xattr simplificationsAndreas Gruenbacher
Now that the xattr handler is passed to the xattr handler operations, we can use the same get and set operations for the user, trusted, and security xattr namespaces. In those namespaces, we can access the full attribute name by "reattaching" the name prefix the vfs has skipped for us. Add a xattr_full_name helper to make this obvious in the code. For the "system.posix_acl_access" and "system.posix_acl_default" attributes, handler->prefix is the full attribute name; the suffix is the empty string.

2015-11-13xattr handlers: Pass handler to operations instead of flagsAndreas Gruenbacher
The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr namespace, for example. In some oprations, it would be useful to also have access to the handler prefix. To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler to operations instead of the flags value alone.

2015-11-13vfs: Fix the posix_acl_xattr_list return valueAndreas Gruenbacher
When a filesystem that contains POSIX ACLs is mounted without ACL support (-o noacl), the appropriate behavior is not to list any existing POSIX ACL xattrs. The return value for list xattr handlers in this case is 0, not an error code: several filesystems that use the POSIX ACL xattr handlers do not expect the list operation to fail. Symlinks cannot have ACLs, so posix_acl_xattr_list will never be called for symlinks in the first place.

2015-11-11fs/pipe.c: return error code rather than 0 in pipe_write()Eric Biggers
pipe_write() would return 0 if it failed to merge the beginning of the data to write with the last, partially filled pipe buffer. It should return an error code instead. Userspace programs could be confused by write() returning 0 when called with a nonzero 'count'. The EFAULT error case was a regression from f0d1bec9d5 ("new helper: copy_page_from_iter()"), while the ops->confirm() error case was a much older bug. Test program: #include <assert.h> #include <errno.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(void) { int fd[2]; char data[1] = {0}; assert(0 == pipe(fd)); assert(1 == write(fd[1], data, 1)); /* prior to this patch, write() returned 0 here */ assert(-1 == write(fd[1], NULL, 1)); assert(errno == EFAULT); } Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # at least v3.15+ Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers3@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-11-11fs/pipe.c: preserve alloc_file() error codeEric Biggers
If sys_pipe() was unable to allocate a 'struct file', it always failed with ENFILE, which means "The number of simultaneously open files in the system would exceed a system-imposed limit." However, alloc_file() actually returns an ERR_PTR value and might fail with other error codes. Currently, in addition to ENFILE, it can fail with ENOMEM, potentially when there are few open files in the system. Update sys_pipe() to preserve this error code. In a prior submission of a similar patch (1) some concern was raised about introducing a new error code for sys_pipe(). However, for most system calls, programs cannot assume that new error codes will never be introduced. In addition, ENOMEM was, in fact, already a possible error code for sys_pipe(), in the case where the file descriptor table could not be expanded due to insufficient memory.

2015-11-11binfmt_elf: Don't clobber passed executable's file headerMaciej W. Rozycki
Do not clobber the buffer space passed from `search_binary_handler' and originally preloaded by `prepare_binprm' with the executable's file header by overwriting it with its interpreter's file header. Instead keep the buffer space intact and directly use the data structure locally allocated for the interpreter's file header, fixing a bug introduced in 2.1.14 with loadable module support (linux-mips.org commit beb11695 [Import of Linux/MIPS 2.1.14], predating kernel.org repo's history). Adjust the amount of data read from the interpreter's file accordingly. This was not an issue before loadable module support, because back then `load_elf_binary' was executed only once for a given ELF executable, whether the function succeeded or failed. With loadable module support supported and enabled, upon a failure of `load_elf_binary' -- which may for example be caused by architecture code rejecting an executable due to a missing hardware feature requested in the file header -- a module load is attempted and then the function reexecuted by `search_binary_handler'. With the executable's file header replaced with its interpreter's file header the executable can then be erroneously accepted in this subsequent attempt.

2015-11-11FS-Cache: Handle a write to the page immediately beyond the EOF markerDavid Howells
Handle a write being requested to the page immediately beyond the EOF marker on a cache object. Currently this gets an assertion failure in CacheFiles because the EOF marker is used there to encode information about a partial page at the EOF - which could lead to an unknown blank spot in the file if we extend the file over it. The problem is actually in fscache where we check the index of the page being written against store_limit. store_limit is set to the number of pages that we're allowed to store by fscache_set_store_limit() - which means it's one more than the index of the last page we're allowed to store. The problem is that we permit writing to a page with an index _equal_ to the store limit - when we should reject that case. Whilst we're at it, change the triggered assertion in CacheFiles to just return -ENOBUFS instead. The assertion failure looks something like this: CacheFiles: Assertion failed 1000 < 7b1 is false ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/cachefiles/rdwr.c:962! ...

2015-11-11debugfs: fix refcount imbalance in start_creatingDaniel Borkmann
In debugfs' start_creating(), we pin the file system to safely access its root. When we failed to create a file, we unpin the file system via failed_creating() to release the mount count and eventually the reference of the vfsmount. However, when we run into an error during lookup_one_len() when still in start_creating(), we only release the parent's mutex but not so the reference on the mount. Looks like it was done in the past, but after splitting portions of __create_file() into start_creating() and end_creating() via 190afd81e4a5 ("debugfs: split the beginning and the end of __create_file() off"), this seemed missed.

d0edd8528362 ("ipc: convert invalid scenarios to use WARN_ON") relaxed the nil dst parameter check, originally being a full BUG_ON. However, this check seems quite unnecessary when the only purpose is for ceckpoint/restore (MSG_COPY flag): o The copy variable is set initially to nil, apparently as a way of ensuring that prepare_copy is previously called. Which is in fact done, unconditionally at the beginning of do_msgrcv. o There is no concurrency with 'copy' (stack allocated in do_msgrcv). Furthermore, any errors in 'copy' (and thus prepare_copy/copy_msg) should always handled by IS_ERR() family. Therefore remove this check altogether as it can never occur with the current users.

2015-11-06panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed outVitaly Kuznetsov
In some cases we may end up killing the CPU holding the console lock while still having valuable data in logbuf. E.g. I'm observing the following: - A crash is happening on one CPU and console_unlock() is being called on some other. - console_unlock() tries to print out the buffer before releasing the lock and on slow console it takes time. - in the meanwhile crashing CPU does lots of printk()-s with valuable data (which go to the logbuf) and sends IPIs to all other CPUs. - console_unlock() finishes printing previous chunk and enables interrupts before trying to print out the rest, the CPU catches the IPI and never releases console lock. This is not the only possible case: in VT/fb subsystems we have many other console_lock()/console_unlock() users. Non-masked interrupts (or receiving NMI in case of extreme slowness) will have the same result. Getting the whole console buffer printed out on crash should be top priority.

2015-11-06dma-mapping: tidy up dma_parms default handlingRobin Murphy
Many DMA controllers and other devices set max_segment_size to indicate their scatter-gather capability, but have no interest in segment_boundary_mask. However, the existence of a dma_parms structure precludes the use of any default value, leaving them as zeros (assuming a properly kzalloc'ed structure). If a well-behaved IOMMU (or SWIOTLB) then tries to respect this by ensuring a mapped segment does not cross a zero-byte boundary, hilarity ensues. Since zero is a nonsensical value for either parameter, treat it as an indicator for "default", as might be expected. In the process, clean up a bit by replacing the bare constants with slightly more meaningful macros and removing the superfluous "else" statements.

setpriority(PRIO_USER, 0, x) will change the priority of tasks outside of the current pid namespace. This is in contrast to both the other modes of setpriority and the example of kill(-1). Fix this. getpriority and ioprio have the same failure mode, fix them too. Eric said: : After some more thinking about it this patch sounds justifiable. : : My goal with namespaces is not to build perfect isolation mechanisms : as that can get into ill defined territory, but to build well defined : mechanisms. And to handle the corner cases so you can use only : a single namespace with well defined results. : : In this case you have found the two interfaces I am aware of that : identify processes by uid instead of by pid. Which quite frankly is : weird. Unfortunately the weird unexpected cases are hard to handle : in the usual way. : : I was hoping for a little more information. Changes like this one we : have to be careful of because someone might be depending on the current : behavior. I don't think they are and I do think this make sense as part : of the pid namespace.

2015-11-06fs, seqfile: always allow oom killerGreg Thelen
Since 5cec38ac866b ("fs, seq_file: fallback to vmalloc instead of oom kill processes") seq_buf_alloc() avoids calling the oom killer for PAGE_SIZE or smaller allocations; but larger allocations can use the oom killer via vmalloc(). Thus reads of small files can return ENOMEM, but larger files use the oom killer to avoid ENOMEM. The effect of this bug is that reads from /proc and other virtual filesystems can return ENOMEM instead of the preferred behavior - oom killing something (possibly the calling process). I don't know of anyone except Google who has noticed the issue. I suspect the fix is more needed in smaller systems where there isn't any reclaimable memory. But these seem like the kinds of systems which probably don't use the oom killer for production situations. Memory overcommit requires use of the oom killer to select a victim regardless of file size. Enable oom killer for small seq_buf_alloc() allocations.

2015-11-06coredump: ensure all coredumping tasks have SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMPOleg Nesterov
task_will_free_mem() is wrong in many ways, and in particular the SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is not reliable: a task can participate in the coredumping without SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP bit set. change zap_threads() paths to always set SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP even if other CLONE_VM processes can't react to SIGKILL. Fortunately, at least oom-kill case if fine; it kills all tasks sharing the same mm, so it should also kill the process which actually dumps the core. The change in prepare_signal() is not strictly necessary, it just ensures that the patch does not bring another subtle behavioural change. But it reminds us that this SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/COREDUMP case needs more changes.

2015-11-06signal: turn dequeue_signal_lock() into kernel_dequeue_signal()Oleg Nesterov
1. Rename dequeue_signal_lock() to kernel_dequeue_signal(). This matches another "for kthreads only" kernel_sigaction() helper. 2. Remove the "tsk" and "mask" arguments, they are always current and current->blocked. And it is simply wrong if tsk != current. 3. We could also remove the 3rd "siginfo_t *info" arg but it looks potentially useful. However we can simplify the callers if we change kernel_dequeue_signal() to accept info => NULL. 4. Remove _irqsave, it is never called from atomic context.

2015-11-06signals: kill block_all_signals() and unblock_all_signals()Oleg Nesterov
It is hardly possible to enumerate all problems with block_all_signals() and unblock_all_signals(). Just for example, 1. block_all_signals(SIGSTOP/etc) simply can't help if the caller is multithreaded. Another thread can dequeue the signal and force the group stop. 2. Even is the caller is single-threaded, it will "stop" anyway. It will not sleep, but it will spin in kernel space until SIGCONT or SIGKILL. And a lot more. In short, this interface doesn't work at all, at least the last 10+ years.
