2016-01-14fsnotify: destroy marks with call_srcu instead of dedicated threadJeff Layton
At the time that this code was originally written, call_srcu didn't exist, so this thread was required to ensure that we waited for that SRCU grace period to settle before finally freeing the object. It does exist now however and we can much more efficiently use call_srcu to handle this. That also allows us to potentially use srcu_barrier to ensure that they are all of the callbacks have run before proceeding. In order to conserve space, we union the rcu_head with the g_list. This will be necessary for nfsd which will allocate marks from a dedicated slabcache. We have to be able to ensure that all of the objects are destroyed before destroying the cache.

2015-11-05inotify: actually check for invalid bits in sys_inotify_add_watch()Dave Hansen
The comment here says that it is checking for invalid bits. But, the mask is *actually* checking to ensure that _any_ valid bit is set, which is quite different. Without this check, an unexpected bit could get set on an inotify object. Since these bits are also interpreted by the fsnotify/dnotify code, there is the potential for an object to be mishandled inside the kernel. For instance, can we be sure that setting the dnotify flag FS_DN_RENAME on an inotify watch is harmless? Add the actual check which was intended. Retain the existing inotify bits are being added to the watch. Plus, this is existing behavior which would be nice to preserve. I did a quick sniff test that inotify functions and that my 'inotify-tools' package passes 'make check'.

2015-11-05inotify: hide internal kernel bits from fdinfoDave Hansen
There was a report that my patch: inotify: actually check for invalid bits in sys_inotify_add_watch() broke CRIU. The reason is that CRIU looks up raw flags in /proc/$pid/fdinfo/* to figure out how to rebuild inotify watches and then passes those flags directly back in to the inotify API. One of those flags (FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD) is set in mark->mask, but is not part of the inotify API. It is used inside the kernel to _implement_ inotify but it is not and has never been part of the API. My patch above ensured that we only allow bits which are part of the API (IN_ALL_EVENTS). This broke CRIU. FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD is really internal to the kernel. It is set _anyway_ on all inotify marks. So, CRIU was really just trying to set a bit that was already set. This patch hides that bit from fdinfo. CRIU will not see the bit, not try to set it, and should work as before. We should not have been exposing this bit in the first place, so this is a good patch independent of the CRIU problem.

2015-09-04fsnotify: get rid of fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked()Jan Kara
fsnotify_destroy_mark_locked() is subtle to use because it temporarily releases group->mark_mutex. To avoid future problems with this function, split it into two. fsnotify_detach_mark() is the part that needs group->mark_mutex and fsnotify_free_mark() is the part that must be called outside of group->mark_mutex. This way it's much clearer what's going on and we also avoid some pointless acquisitions of group->mark_mutex.

2015-09-04fs/notify: optimize inotify/fsnotify code for unwatched filesDave Hansen
I have a _tiny_ microbenchmark that sits in a loop and writes single bytes to a file. Writing one byte to a tmpfs file is around 2x slower than reading one byte from a file, which is a _bit_ more than I expecte. This is a dumb benchmark, but I think it's hard to deny that write() is a hot path and we should avoid unnecessary overhead there. I did a 'perf record' of 30-second samples of read and write. The top item in a diffprofile is srcu_read_lock() from fsnotify(). There are active inotify fd's from systemd, but nothing is actually listening to the file or its part of the filesystem. I *think* we can avoid taking the srcu_read_lock() for the common case where there are no actual marks on the file. This means that there will both be nothing to notify for *and* implies that there is no need for clearing the ignore mask. This patch gave a 13.1% speedup in writes/second on my test, which is an improvement from the 10.8% that I saw with the last version.

2015-08-17inode: convert inode_sb_list_lock to per-sbDave Chinner
The process of reducing contention on per-superblock inode lists starts with moving the locking to match the per-superblock inode list. This takes the global lock out of the picture and reduces the contention problems to within a single filesystem. This doesn't get rid of contention as the locks still have global CPU scope, but it does isolate operations on different superblocks form each other.

2015-06-16fs/notify: don't use module_init for non-modular inotify_user codePaul Gortmaker
The INOTIFY_USER option is bool, and hence this code is either present or absent. It will never be modular, so using module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading. Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which makes sense for fs code) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 5-fs (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that small difference has been observed during testing, or is expected.

2015-03-12fanotify: fix event filtering with FAN_ONDIR setSuzuki K. Poulose
With FAN_ONDIR set, the user can end up getting events, which it hasn't marked. This was revealed with fanotify04 testcase failure on Linux-4.0-rc1, and is a regression from 3.19, revealed with 66ba93c0d7fe6 ("fanotify: don't set FAN_ONDIR implicitly on a marks ignored mask"). # /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/fanotify04 [ ... ] fanotify04 7 TPASS : event generated properly for type 100000 fanotify04 8 TFAIL : fanotify04.c:147: got unexpected event 30 fanotify04 9 TPASS : No event as expected The testcase sets the adds the following marks : FAN_OPEN | FAN_ONDIR for a fanotify on a dir. Then does an open(), followed by close() of the directory and expects to see an event FAN_OPEN(0x20). However, the fanotify returns (FAN_OPEN|FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE(0x10)). This happens due to the flaw in the check for event_mask in fanotify_should_send_event() which does: if (event_mask & marks_mask & ~marks_ignored_mask) return true; where, event_mask == (FAN_ONDIR | FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE), marks_mask == (FAN_ONDIR | FAN_OPEN), marks_ignored_mask == 0 Fix this by masking the outgoing events to the user, as we already take care of FAN_ONDIR and FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD.

2015-02-22VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry)David Howells
Convert the following where appropriate: (1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry). (2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry). (3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with a ->d_automount op. In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer). Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the type of the lower dentry. However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem. There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes. The following perl+coccinelle script was used: use strict; my @callers; open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*->d_inode\' |') || die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers"; @callers = <$fd>; close($fd); unless (@callers) { print "No matches\n"; exit(0); } my @cocci = ( '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISLNK(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_symlink(E)', '', '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISDIR(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_dir(E)', '', '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISREG(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_reg(E)' ); my $coccifile = "tmp.sp.cocci"; open($fd, ">$coccifile") || die $coccifile; print($fd "$_\n") || die $coccifile foreach (@cocci); close($fd); foreach my $file (@callers) { chomp $file; print "Processing ", $file, "\n"; system("spatch", "--sp-file", $coccifile, $file, "--in-place", "--no-show-diff") == 0 || die "spatch failed"; } [AV: overlayfs parts skipped] Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-02-10fanotify: don't set FAN_ONDIR implicitly on a marks ignored maskLino Sanfilippo
Currently FAN_ONDIR is always set on a mark's ignored mask when the event mask is extended without FAN_MARK_ONDIR being set. This may result in events for directories being ignored unexpectedly for call sequences like fanotify_mark(fd, FAN_MARK_ADD, FAN_OPEN | FAN_ONDIR , AT_FDCWD, "dir"); fanotify_mark(fd, FAN_MARK_ADD, FAN_CLOSE, AT_FDCWD, "dir"); Also FAN_MARK_ONDIR is only honored when adding events to a mark's mask, but not for event removal. Fix both issues by not setting FAN_ONDIR implicitly on the ignore mask any more. Instead treat FAN_ONDIR as any other event flag and require FAN_MARK_ONDIR to be set by the user for both event mask and ignore mask. Furthermore take FAN_MARK_ONDIR into account when set for event removal.

2015-01-09sched, fanotify: Deal with nested sleepsPeter Zijlstra
As per e23738a7300a ("sched, inotify: Deal with nested sleeps"). fanotify_read is a wait loop with sleeps in. Wait loops rely on task_struct::state and sleeps do too, since that's the only means of actually sleeping. Therefore the nested sleeps destroy the wait loop state and the wait loop breaks the sleep functions that assume TASK_RUNNING (mutex_lock). Fix this by using the new woken_wake_function and wait_woken() stuff, which registers wakeups in wait and thereby allows shrinking the task_state::state changes to the actual sleep part.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace into for-next Pull the beginning of seq_file cleanup from Steven: "I'm looking to clean up the seq_file code and to eventually merge the trace_seq code with seq_file as well, since they basically do the same thing. Part of this process is to remove the return code of seq_printf() and friends as they are rather inconsistent. It is better to use the new function seq_has_overflowed() if you want to stop processing when the buffer is full. Note, if the buffer is full, the seq_file code will throw away the contents, allocate a bigger buffer, and then call your code again to fill in the data. The only thing that breaking out of the function early does is to save a little time which is probably never noticed. I started with patches from Joe Perches and modified them as well. There's many more places that need to be updated before we can convert seq_printf() and friends to return void. But this patch set introduces the seq_has_overflowed() and does some initial updates."

2014-11-13fanotify: fix notification of groups with inode & mount marksJan Kara
fsnotify() needs to merge inode and mount marks lists when notifying groups about events so that ignore masks from inode marks are reflected in mount mark notifications and groups are notified in proper order (according to priorities). Currently the sorting of the lists done by fsnotify_add_inode_mark() / fsnotify_add_vfsmount_mark() and fsnotify() differed which resulted ignore masks not being used in some cases. Fix the problem by always using the same comparison function when sorting / merging the mark lists. Thanks to Heinrich Schuchardt for improvements of my patch.

2014-10-29fsnotify: next_i is freed during fsnotify_unmount_inodes.Jerry Hoemann
During file system stress testing on 3.10 and 3.12 based kernels, the umount command occasionally hung in fsnotify_unmount_inodes in the section of code: spin_lock(&inode->i_lock); if (inode->i_state & (I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE|I_NEW)) { spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock); continue; } As this section of code holds the global inode_sb_list_lock, eventually the system hangs trying to acquire the lock. Multiple crash dumps showed: The inode->i_state == 0x60 and i_count == 0 and i_sb_list would point back at itself. As this is not the value of list upon entry to the function, the kernel never exits the loop. To help narrow down problem, the call to list_del_init in inode_sb_list_del was changed to list_del. This poisons the pointers in the i_sb_list and causes a kernel to panic if it transverse a freed inode. Subsequent stress testing paniced in fsnotify_unmount_inodes at the bottom of the list_for_each_entry_safe loop showing next_i had become free. We believe the root cause of the problem is that next_i is being freed during the window of time that the list_for_each_entry_safe loop temporarily releases inode_sb_list_lock to call fsnotify and fsnotify_inode_delete. The code in fsnotify_unmount_inodes attempts to prevent the freeing of inode and next_i by calling __iget. However, the code doesn't do the __iget call on next_i if i_count == 0 or if i_state & (I_FREEING | I_WILL_FREE) The patch addresses this issue by advancing next_i in the above two cases until we either find a next_i which we can __iget or we reach the end of the list. This makes the handling of next_i more closely match the handling of the variable "inode." The time to reproduce the hang is highly variable (from hours to days.) We ran the stress test on a 3.10 kernel with the proposed patch for a week without failure. During list_for_each_entry_safe, next_i is becoming free causing the loop to never terminate. Advance next_i in those cases where __iget is not done.

2014-10-28sched, inotify: Deal with nested sleepsPeter Zijlstra
inotify_read is a wait loop with sleeps in. Wait loops rely on task_struct::state and sleeps do too, since that's the only means of actually sleeping. Therefore the nested sleeps destroy the wait loop state and the wait loop breaks the sleep functions that assume TASK_RUNNING (mutex_lock). Fix this by using the new woken_wake_function and wait_woken() stuff, which registers wakeups in wait and thereby allows shrinking the task_state::state changes to the actual sleep part.

2014-10-09fanotify: enable close-on-exec on events' fd when requested in fanotify_init()Yann Droneaud
According to commit 80af258867648 ("fanotify: groups can specify their f_flags for new fd"), file descriptors created as part of file access notification events inherit flags from the event_f_flags argument passed to syscall fanotify_init(2)[1]. Unfortunately O_CLOEXEC is currently silently ignored. Indeed, event_f_flags are only given to dentry_open(), which only seems to care about O_ACCMODE and O_PATH in do_dentry_open(), O_DIRECT in open_check_o_direct() and O_LARGEFILE in generic_file_open(). It's a pity, since, according to some lookup on various search engines and http://codesearch.debian.net/, there's already some userspace code which use O_CLOEXEC: - in systemd's readahead[2]: fanotify_fd = fanotify_init(FAN_CLOEXEC|FAN_NONBLOCK, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC|O_NOATIME); - in clsync[3]: #define FANOTIFY_EVFLAGS (O_LARGEFILE|O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) int fanotify_d = fanotify_init(FANOTIFY_FLAGS, FANOTIFY_EVFLAGS); - in examples [4] from "Filesystem monitoring in the Linux kernel" article[5] by Aleksander Morgado: if ((fanotify_fd = fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC, O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC | O_LARGEFILE)) < 0) Additionally, since commit 48149e9d3a7e ("fanotify: check file flags passed in fanotify_init"). having O_CLOEXEC as part of fanotify_init() second argument is expressly allowed. So it seems expected to set close-on-exec flag on the file descriptors if userspace is allowed to request it with O_CLOEXEC. But Andrew Morton raised[6] the concern that enabling now close-on-exec might break existing applications which ask for O_CLOEXEC but expect the file descriptor to be inherited across exec(). In the other hand, as reported by Mihai Dontu[7] close-on-exec on the file descriptor returned as part of file access notify can break applications due to deadlock. So close-on-exec is needed for most applications. More, applications asking for close-on-exec are likely expecting it to be enabled, relying on O_CLOEXEC being effective. If not, it might weaken their security, as noted by Jan Kara[8]. So this patch replaces call to macro get_unused_fd() by a call to function get_unused_fd_flags() with event_f_flags value as argument. This way O_CLOEXEC flag in the second argument of fanotify_init(2) syscall is interpreted and close-on-exec get enabled when requested.

Commit 85816794240b ("fanotify: Fix use after free for permission events") introduced a double free issue for permission events which are pending in group's notification queue while group is being destroyed. These events are freed from fanotify_handle_event() but they are not removed from groups notification queue and thus they get freed again from fsnotify_flush_notify(). Fix the problem by removing permission events from notification queue before freeing them if we skip processing access response.

2014-06-04fanotify: check file flags passed in fanotify_initHeinrich Schuchardt
Without this patch fanotify_init does not validate the value passed in event_f_flags. When a fanotify event is read from the fanotify file descriptor a new file descriptor is created where file.f_flags = event_f_flags. Internal and external open flags are stored together in field f_flags of struct file. Hence, an application might create file descriptors with internal flags like FMODE_EXEC, FMODE_NOCMTIME set. Jan Kara and Eric Paris both aggreed that this is a bug and the value of event_f_flags should be checked: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/522 https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/539 This updated patch version considers the comments by Michael Kerrisk in https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/4/10 With the patch the value of event_f_flags is checked. When specifying an invalid value error EINVAL is returned. Internal flags are disallowed. File creation flags are disallowed: O_CREAT, O_DIRECTORY, O_EXCL, O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_TRUNC, and O_TTY_INIT. Flags which do not make sense with fanotify are disallowed: __O_TMPFILE, O_PATH, FASYNC, and O_DIRECT. This leaves us with the following allowed values: O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR are basic functionality. The are stored in the bits given by O_ACCMODE. O_APPEND is working as expected. The value might be useful in a logging application which appends the current status each time the log is opened. O_LARGEFILE is needed for files exceeding 4GB on 32bit systems. O_NONBLOCK may be useful when monitoring slow devices like tapes. O_NDELAY is equal to O_NONBLOCK except for platform parisc. To avoid code breaking on parisc either both flags should be allowed or none. The patch allows both. __O_SYNC and O_DSYNC may be used to avoid data loss on power disruption. O_NOATIME may be useful to reduce disk activity. O_CLOEXEC may be useful, if separate processes shall be used to scan files. Once this patch is accepted, the fanotify_init.2 manpage has to be updated.
