CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
Use current_time() instead.
CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.
This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.
Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
share the same time granularity.

To distinguish non-slab pages charged to kmemcg we mark them PageKmemcg,
which sets page->_mapcount to -512. Currently, we set/clear PageKmemcg
in __alloc_pages_nodemask()/free_pages_prepare() for any page allocated
with __GFP_ACCOUNT, including those that aren't actually charged to any
cgroup, i.e. allocated from the root cgroup context. To avoid overhead
in case cgroups are not used, we only do that if memcg_kmem_enabled() is
true. The latter is set iff there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups
(online or offline). The root cgroup is not considered kmem-enabled.
As a result, if a page is allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT for the root
cgroup when there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups and is freed after all
kmem-enabled memory cgroups were removed, e.g.
# no memory cgroups has been created yet, create one
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
# run something allocating pages with __GFP_ACCOUNT, e.g.
# a program using pipe
dmesg | tail
# remove the memory cgroup
rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
we'll get bad page state bug complaining about page->_mapcount != -1:
BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/0 pfn:1fd945c
page:ffffea007f651700 count:0 mapcount:-511 mapping: (null) index:0x0
flags: 0x1000000000000000()
To avoid that, let's mark with PageKmemcg only those pages that are
actually charged to and hence pin a non-root memory cgroup.

Pipes can consume a significant amount of system memory, hence they
should be accounted to kmemcg.
This patch marks pipe_inode_info and anonymous pipe buffer page
allocations as __GFP_ACCOUNT so that they would be charged to kmemcg.
Note, since a pipe buffer page can be "stolen" and get reused for other
purposes, including mapping to userspace, we clear PageKmemcg thus
resetting page->_mapcount and uncharge it in anon_pipe_buf_steal, which
is introduced by this patch.
A note regarding anon_pipe_buf_steal implementation. We allow to steal
the page if its ref count equals 1. It looks racy, but it is correct
for anonymous pipe buffer pages, because:
- We lock out all other pipe users, because ->steal is called with
pipe_lock held, so the page can't be spliced to another pipe from
under us.
- The page is not on LRU and it never was.
- Thus a parallel thread can access it only by PFN. Although this is
quite possible (e.g. see page_idle_get_page and balloon_page_isolate)
this is not dangerous, because all such functions do is increase page
ref count, check if the page is the one they are looking for, and
decrease ref count if it isn't. Since our page is clean except for
PageKmemcg mark, which doesn't conflict with other _mapcount users,
the worst that can happen is we see page_count > 2 due to a transient
ref, in which case we false-positively abort ->steal, which is still
fine, because ->steal is not guaranteed to succeed.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

On no-so-small systems, it is possible for a single process to cause an
OOM condition by filling large pipes with data that are never read. A
typical process filling 4000 pipes with 1 MB of data will use 4 GB of
memory. On small systems it may be tricky to set the pipe max size to
prevent this from happening.
This patch makes it possible to enforce a per-user soft limit above
which new pipes will be limited to a single page, effectively limiting
them to 4 kB each, as well as a hard limit above which no new pipes may
be created for this user. This has the effect of protecting the system
against memory abuse without hurting other users, and still allowing
pipes to work correctly though with less data at once.
The limit are controlled by two new sysctls : pipe-user-pages-soft, and
pipe-user-pages-hard. Both may be disabled by setting them to zero. The
default soft limit allows the default number of FDs per process (1024)
to create pipes of the default size (64kB), thus reaching a limit of 64MB
before starting to create only smaller pipes. With 256 processes limited
to 1024 FDs each, this results in 1024*64kB + (256*1024 - 1024) * 4kB =
1084 MB of memory allocated for a user. The hard limit is disabled by
default to avoid breaking existing applications that make intensive use
of pipes (eg: for splicing).

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);
}

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.

The pipe code was trying (and failing) to be very careful about freeing
the pipe info only after the last access, with a pattern like:
spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
if (!--pipe->files) {
inode->i_pipe = NULL;
kill = 1;
}
spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
__pipe_unlock(pipe);
if (kill)
free_pipe_info(pipe);
where the final freeing is done last.
HOWEVER. The above is actually broken, because while the freeing is
done at the end, if we have two racing processes releasing the pipe
inode info, the one that *doesn't* free it will decrement the ->files
count, and unlock the inode i_lock, but then still use the
"pipe_inode_info" afterwards when it does the "__pipe_unlock(pipe)".
This is *very* hard to trigger in practice, since the race window is
very small, and adding debug options seems to just hide it by slowing
things down.
Simon originally reported this way back in July as an Oops in
kmem_cache_allocate due to a single bit corruption (due to the final
"spin_unlock(pipe->mutex.wait_lock)" incrementing a field in a different
allocation that had re-used the free'd pipe-info), it's taken this long
to figure out.
Since the 'pipe->files' accesses aren't even protected by the pipe lock
(we very much use the inode lock for that), the simple solution is to
just drop the pipe lock early. And since there were two users of this
pattern, create a helper function for it.
Introduced commit ba5bb147330a ("pipe: take allocation and freeing of
pipe_inode_info out of ->i_mutex").

* new field - pipe->files; number of struct file over that pipe (all
sharing the same inode, of course); protected by inode->i_lock.
* pipe_release() decrements pipe->files, clears inode->i_pipe when
if the counter has reached 0 (all under ->i_lock) and, in that case,
frees pipe after having done pipe_unlock()
* fifo_open() starts with grabbing ->i_lock, and either bumps pipe->files
if ->i_pipe was non-NULL or allocates a new pipe (dropping and regaining
->i_lock) and rechecks ->i_pipe; if it's still NULL, inserts new pipe
there, otherwise bumps ->i_pipe->files and frees the one we'd allocated.
At that point we know that ->i_pipe is non-NULL and won't go away, so
we can do pipe_lock() on it and proceed as we used to. If we end up
failing, decrement pipe->files and if it reaches 0 clear ->i_pipe and
free the sucker after pipe_unlock().

If you open a pipe for neither read nor write, the pipe code will not
add any usage counters to the pipe, causing the 'struct pipe_inode_info"
to be potentially released early.
That doesn't normally matter, since you cannot actually use the pipe,
but the pipe release code - particularly fasync handling - still expects
the actual pipe infrastructure to all be there. And rather than adding
NULL pointer checks, let's just disallow this case, the same way we
already do for the named pipe ("fifo") case.
This is ancient going back to pre-2.4 days, and until trinity, nobody

Allocating a file structure in function get_empty_filp() might fail because
of several reasons:
- not enough memory for file structures
- operation is not allowed
- user is over its limit
Currently the function returns NULL in all cases and we loose the exact
reason of the error. All callers of get_empty_filp() assume that the function
can fail with ENFILE only.
Return error through pointer. Change all callers to preserve this error code.

Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify
the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our
own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he
would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce
->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and
indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it
has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
filesystems can choose to do something different.
I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for
errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't
quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time
updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and
make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the
generic fault path. Thanks,

As described in commit 07d106d0a ("vfs: fix up ENOIOCTLCMD error
handling"), drivers should return -ENOIOCTLCMD if they receive an ioctl
command which they don't understand. Doing so will result in -ENOTTY
being returned to userspace, which matches the behaviour of the compat
layer if it fails to translate an ioctl command.
This patch fixes the pipe ioctl to return -ENOIOCTLCMD instead of
-EINVAL when passed an unknown ioctl command.

The actual internal pipe implementation is already really about
individual packets (called "pipe buffers"), and this simply exposes that
as a special packetized mode.
When we are in the packetized mode (marked by O_DIRECT as suggested by
Alan Cox), a write() on a pipe will not merge the new data with previous
writes, so each write will get a pipe buffer of its own. The pipe
buffer is then marked with the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET flag, which in turn
will tell the reader side to break the read at that boundary (and throw
away any partial packet contents that do not fit in the read buffer).
End result: as long as you do writes less than PIPE_BUF in size (so that
the pipe doesn't have to split them up), you can now treat the pipe as a
packet interface, where each read() system call will read one packet at
a time. You can just use a sufficiently big read buffer (PIPE_BUF is
sufficient, since bigger than that doesn't guarantee atomicity anyway),
and the return value of the read() will naturally give you the size of
the packet.
NOTE! We do not support zero-sized packets, and zero-sized reads and
writes to a pipe continue to be no-ops. Also note that big packets will
currently be split at write time, but that the size at which that
happens is not really specified (except that it's bigger than PIPE_BUF).
Currently that limit is the system page size, but we might want to
explicitly support bigger packets some day.
The main user for this is going to be the autofs packet interface,
allowing us to stop having to care so deeply about exact packet sizes
(which have had bugs with 32/64-bit compatibility modes). But user
space can create packetized pipes with "pipe2(fd, O_DIRECT)", which will
fail with an EINVAL on kernels that do not support this interface.

When a user with the CAP_SYS_RESOURCE cap tries to F_SETPIPE_SZ a pipe
with size bigger than kmalloc() can alloc it spits out an ugly warning:

Instead, make kcalloc() handle the overflow case and fail quietly.

... so no exitcalls there. Not much would work if pipe(2) would stop
working, after all...

Currently a statfs on a pipe's /proc/<pid>/fd/ link returns -ENOSYS. Wire
pipfs up so that the statfs succeeds.
This is required by checkpoint-restart in the userspace to make it
possible to distinguish pipes from fifos.
When we dump information about task's open files we use the /proc/pid/fd
directoy's symlinks and the fact that opening any of them gives us exactly
the same dentry->inode pair as the original process has. Now if a task
we're dumping has opened pipe and fifo we need to detect this and act
accordingly. Knowing that an fd with type S_ISFIFO resides on a pipefs is
the most precise way.

Workloads using pipes and sockets hit inode_sb_list_lock contention.
superblock s_inodes list is needed for quota, dirty, pagecache and
fsnotify management. pipe/anon/socket fs are clearly not candidates for
these.

For a number of file systems that don't have a mount point (e.g. sockfs
and pipefs), they are not marked as long term. Therefore in
mntput_no_expire, all locks in vfs_mount lock are taken instead of just
local cpu's lock to aggregate reference counts when we release
reference to file objects. In fact, only local lock need to have been
taken to update ref counts as these file systems are in no danger of
going away until we are ready to unregister them.
The attached patch marks file systems using kern_mount without
mount point as long term. The contentions of vfs_mount lock
is now eliminated. Before un-registering such file system,
kern_unmount should be called to remove the long term flag and
make the mount point ready to be freed.

Commit e462c448fdc8 ("pipe: use event aware wakeups") optimized the pipe
event wakeup calls to avoid wakeups if the events do not match the
requested set.
However, the optimization was buggy, in that it didn't actually use the
correct sets for the events: when we make room for more data to be
written, the pipe poll() routine will return both the POLLOUT _and_
POLLWRNORM bits. Similarly for read.
And most critically, when a pipe is released, that will potentially
result in POLLHUP|POLLERR (depending on whether it was the last reader
or writer), not just the regular POLLIN|POLLOUT.
This bug showed itself as a hung gnome-screensaver-dialog process, stuck
forever (or at least until it was poked by a signal or by being traced)
in a poll() system call.
