2016-10-14fs/super.c: fix race between freeze_super() and thaw_super()Oleg Nesterov
Change thaw_super() to check frozen != SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE rather than frozen == SB_UNFROZEN, otherwise it can race with freeze_super() which drops sb->s_umount after SB_FREEZE_WRITE to preserve the lock ordering. In this case thaw_super() will wrongly call s_op->unfreeze_fs() before it was actually frozen, and call sb_freeze_unlock() which leads to the unbalanced percpu_up_write(). Unfortunately lockdep can't detect this, so this triggers misc BUG_ON()'s in kernel/rcu/sync.c.

2016-10-14iov_iter: kernel-doc import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector()Vegard Nossum
Both import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector() take an array (typically small and on-stack) which is used to hold an iovec array copy from userspace. This is to avoid an expensive memory allocation in the fast path (i.e. few iovec elements). The caller may have to check whether these functions actually used the provided buffer or allocated a new one -- but this differs between the too. Let's just add a kernel doc to clarify what the semantics are for each function. Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2016-10-14CIFS: Retrieve uid and gid from special sid if enabledSteve French
New mount option "idsfromsid" indicates to cifs.ko that it should try to retrieve the uid and gid owner fields from special sids. This patch adds the code to parse the owner sids in the ACL to see if they match, and if so populate the uid and/or gid from them. This is faster than upcalling for them and asking winbind, and is a fairly common case, and is also helpful when cifs.upcall and idmapping is not configured.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs < XFS has gained super CoW powers! > ---------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || || Pull XFS support for shared data extents from Dave Chinner: "This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle. This pullreq contains the new shared data extents feature for XFS. Given the complexity and size of this change I am expecting - like the addition of reverse mapping last cycle - that there will be some follow-up bug fixes and cleanups around the -rc3 stage for issues that I'm sure will show up once the code hits a wider userbase. What it is: At the most basic level we are simply adding shared data extents to XFS - i.e. a single extent on disk can now have multiple owners. To do this we have to add new on-disk features to both track the shared extents and the number of times they've been shared. This is done by the new "refcount" btree that sits in every allocation group. When we share or unshare an extent, this tree gets updated. Along with this new tree, the reverse mapping tree needs to be updated to track each owner or a shared extent. This also needs to be updated ever share/unshare operation. These interactions at extent allocation and freeing time have complex ordering and recovery constraints, so there's a significant amount of new intent-based transaction code to ensure that operations are performed atomically from both the runtime and integrity/crash recovery perspectives. We also need to break sharing when writes hit a shared extent - this is where the new copy-on-write implementation comes in. We allocate new storage and copy the original data along with the overwrite data into the new location. We only do this for data as we don't share metadata at all - each inode has it's own metadata that tracks the shared data extents, the extents undergoing CoW and it's own private extents. Of course, being XFS, nothing is simple - we use delayed allocation for CoW similar to how we use it for normal writes. ENOSPC is a significant issue here - we build on the reservation code added in 4.8-rc1 with the reverse mapping feature to ensure we don't get spurious ENOSPC issues part way through a CoW operation. These mechanisms also help minimise fragmentation due to repeated CoW operations. To further reduce fragmentation overhead, we've also introduced a CoW extent size hint, which indicates how large a region we should allocate when we execute a CoW operation. With all this functionality in place, we can hook up .copy_file_range, .clone_file_range and .dedupe_file_range and we gain all the capabilities of reflink and other vfs provided functionality that enable manipulation to shared extents. We also added a fallocate mode that explicitly unshares a range of a file, which we implemented as an explicit CoW of all the shared extents in a file. As such, it's a huge chunk of new functionality with new on-disk format features and internal infrastructure. It warns at mount time as an experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all new on-disk features until they stabilise). We have not released userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point. Initial userspace support will be released at the same time the kernel with this code in it is released. The new code causes 5-6 new failures with xfstests - these aren't serious functional failures but things the output of tests changing slightly due to perturbations in layouts, space usage, etc. OTOH, we've added 150+ new tests to xfstests that specifically exercise this new functionality so it's got far better test coverage than any functionality we've previously added to XFS. Darrick has done a pretty amazing job getting us to this stage, and special mention also needs to go to Christoph (review, testing, improvements and bug fixes) and Brian (caught several intricate bugs during review) for the effort they've also put in. Summary: - unshare range (FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE) support for fallocate - copy-on-write extent size hints (FS_XFLAG_COWEXTSIZE) for fsxattr interface - shared extent support for XFS - copy-on-write support for shared extents - copy_file_range support - clone_file_range support (implements reflink) - dedupe_file_range support - defrag support for reverse mapping enabled filesystems" * tag 'xfs-reflink-for-linus-4.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs: (71 commits) xfs: convert COW blocks to real blocks before unwritten extent conversion xfs: rework refcount cow recovery error handling xfs: clear reflink flag if setting realtime flag xfs: fix error initialization xfs: fix label inaccuracies xfs: remove isize check from unshare operation xfs: reduce stack usage of _reflink_clear_inode_flag xfs: check inode reflink flag before calling reflink functions xfs: implement swapext for rmap filesystems xfs: refactor swapext code xfs: various swapext cleanups xfs: recognize the reflink feature bit xfs: simulate per-AG reservations being critically low xfs: don't mix reflink and DAX mode for now xfs: check for invalid inode reflink flags xfs: set a default CoW extent size of 32 blocks xfs: convert unwritten status of reverse mappings for shared files xfs: use interval query for rmap alloc operations on shared files xfs: add shared rmap map/unmap/convert log item types xfs: increase log reservations for reflink ...

2016-10-12cifs: Limit the overall credit acquiredRoss Lagerwall
The kernel client requests 2 credits for many operations even though they only use 1 credit (presumably to build up a buffer of credit). Some servers seem to give the client as much credit as is requested. In this case, the amount of credit the client has continues increasing to the point where (server->credits * MAX_BUFFER_SIZE) overflows in smb2_wait_mtu_credits(). Fix this by throttling the credit requests if an set limit is reached. For async requests where the credit charge may be > 1, request as much credit as what is charged. The limit is chosen somewhat arbitrarily. The Windows client defaults to 128 credits, the Windows server allows clients up to 512 credits (or 8192 for Windows 2016), and the NetApp server (and at least one other) does not limit clients at all. Choose a high enough value such that the client shouldn't limit performance. This behavior was seen with a NetApp filer (NetApp Release 9.0RC2).

2016-10-11pipe: cap initial pipe capacity according to pipe-max-size limitMichael Kerrisk (man-pages)
This is a patch that provides behavior that is more consistent, and probably less surprising to users. I consider the change optional, and welcome opinions about whether it should be applied. By default, pipes are created with a capacity of 64 kiB. However, /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size may be set smaller than this value. In this scenario, an unprivileged user could thus create a pipe whose initial capacity exceeds the limit. Therefore, it seems logical to cap the initial pipe capacity according to the value of pipe-max-size. The test program shown earlier in this patch series can be used to demonstrate the effect of the change brought about with this patch: # cat /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size 1048576 # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # cat /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size 16384 # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 Initial pipe capacity: 16384 # ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 The last two executions of 'test_F_SETPIPE_SZ' show that pipe-max-size caps the initial allocation for a new pipe for unprivileged users, but not for privileged users.

2016-10-11pipe: fix limit checking in alloc_pipe_info()Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)
The limit checking in alloc_pipe_info() (used by pipe(2) and when opening a FIFO) has the following problems: (1) When checking capacity required for the new pipe, the checks against the limit in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for the new pipe capacity. As a consequence: (1) the memory allocation throttling provided by the soft limit does not kick in quite as early as it should, and (2) the user can overrun the hard limit. (2) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the limits is done as follows: (a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit. (b) Make new pipe buffer allocation. (c) Account new allocation against the limits. This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously, and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step (c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting this point, which I had missed.] This patch addresses the above problems as follows: * Alter the checks against limits to include the memory required for the new pipe. * Re-order the accounting step so that it precedes the buffer allocation. If the accounting step determines that a limit has been reached, revert the accounting and cause the operation to fail.

2016-10-11pipe: fix limit checking in pipe_set_size()Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)
The limit checking in pipe_set_size() (used by fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ)) has the following problems: (1) When increasing the pipe capacity, the checks against the limits in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for the increased pipe capacity. The new increase in pipe capacity can then push the total memory used by the user for pipes (possibly far) over a limit. This can also trigger the problem described next. (2) The limit checks are performed even when the new pipe capacity is less than the existing pipe capacity. This can lead to problems if a user sets a large pipe capacity, and then the limits are lowered, with the result that the user will no longer be able to decrease the pipe capacity. (3) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the limits is done as follows: (a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit. (b) Make new pipe buffer allocation. (c) Account new allocation against the limits. This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously, and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step (c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting this point, which I had missed.] This patch addresses the above problems as follows: * Perform checks against the limits only when increasing a pipe's capacity; an unprivileged user can always decrease a pipe's capacity. * Alter the checks against limits to include the memory required for the new pipe capacity. * Re-order the accounting step so that it precedes the buffer allocation. If the accounting step determines that a limit has been reached, revert the accounting and cause the operation to fail. The program below can be used to demonstrate problems 1 and 2, and the effect of the fix. The program takes one or more command-line arguments. The first argument specifies the number of pipes that the program should create. The remaining arguments are, alternately, pipe capacities that should be set using fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ), and sleep intervals (in seconds) between the fcntl() operations. (The sleep intervals allow the possibility to change the limits between fcntl() operations.) Problem 1 ========= Using the test program on an unpatched kernel, we first set some limits: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft # echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # 40.96 MB Then show that we can set a pipe with capacity (100MB) that is over the hard limit # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 100000000 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 134217728 Now set the capacity to 100MB twice. The second call fails (which is probably surprising to most users, since it seems like a no-op): # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 100000000 0 100000000 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 134217728 Loop 2: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes Loop 2, pipe 0: F_SETPIPE_SZ failed: fcntl: Operation not permitted With a patched kernel, setting a capacity over the limit fails at the first attempt: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft # echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 100000000 Initial pipe capacity: 65536 Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes Loop 1, pipe 0: F_SETPIPE_SZ failed: fcntl: Operation not permitted There is a small chance that the change to fix this problem could break user-space, since there are cases where fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ) calls that previously succeeded might fail. However, the chances are small, since (a) the pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} limits are new (in 4.5), and the default soft/hard limits are high/unlimited. Therefore, it seems warranted to make these limits operate more precisely (and behave more like what users probably expect). Problem 2 ========= Running the test program on an unpatched kernel, we first set some limits: # getconf PAGESIZE 4096 # echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft # echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # 40.96 MB Now perform two fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ) operations on a single pipe, first setting a pipe capacity (10MB), sleeping for a few seconds, during which time the hard limit is lowered, and then set pipe capacity to a smaller amount (5MB): # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 10000000 15 5000000 & [1] 748 # Initial pipe capacity: 65536 Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 10000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 16777216 Sleeping 15 seconds # echo 1000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # 4.096 MB # Loop 2: set pipe capacity to 5000000 bytes Loop 2, pipe 0: F_SETPIPE_SZ failed: fcntl: Operation not permitted In this case, the user should be able to lower the limit. With a kernel that has the patch below, the second fcntl() succeeds: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft # echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size # echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 10000000 15 5000000 & [1] 3215 # Initial pipe capacity: 65536 # Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 10000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 16777216 Sleeping 15 seconds # echo 1000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # Loop 2: set pipe capacity to 5000000 bytes F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 8388608 8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x--- /* test_F_SETPIPE_SZ.c (C) 2016, Michael Kerrisk; licensed under GNU GPL version 2 or later Test operation of fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ) for setting pipe capacity and interactions with limits defined by /proc/sys/fs/pipe-* files. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int (*pfd)[2]; int npipes; int pcap, rcap; int j, p, s, stime, loop; if (argc < 2) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s num-pipes " "[pipe-capacity sleep-time]...\n", argv[0]); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } npipes = atoi(argv[1]); pfd = calloc(npipes, sizeof (int [2])); if (pfd == NULL) { perror("calloc"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } for (j = 0; j < npipes; j++) { if (pipe(pfd[j]) == -1) { fprintf(stderr, "Loop %d: pipe() failed: ", j); perror("pipe"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } } printf("Initial pipe capacity: %d\n", fcntl(pfd[0][0], F_GETPIPE_SZ)); for (j = 2; j < argc; j += 2 ) { loop = j / 2; pcap = atoi(argv[j]); printf(" Loop %d: set pipe capacity to %d bytes\n", loop, pcap); for (p = 0; p < npipes; p++) { s = fcntl(pfd[p][0], F_SETPIPE_SZ, pcap); if (s == -1) { fprintf(stderr, " Loop %d, pipe %d: F_SETPIPE_SZ " "failed: ", loop, p); perror("fcntl"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } if (p == 0) { printf(" F_SETPIPE_SZ returned %d\n", s); rcap = s; } else { if (s != rcap) { fprintf(stderr, " Loop %d, pipe %d: F_SETPIPE_SZ " "unexpected return: %d\n", loop, p, s); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } } stime = (j + 1 < argc) ? atoi(argv[j + 1]) : 0; if (stime > 0) { printf(" Sleeping %d seconds\n", stime); sleep(stime); } } } exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } 8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x---8x--- Patch history: v2 * Switch order of test in 'if' statement to avoid function call (to capability()) in normal path.

This is a preparatory patch for following work. account_pipe_buffers() performs accounting in the 'user_struct'. There is no need to pass a pointer to a 'pipe_inode_info' struct (which is then dereferenced to obtain a pointer to the 'user' field). Instead, pass a pointer directly to the 'user_struct'. This change is needed in preparation for a subsequent patch that the fixes the limit checking in alloc_pipe_info() (and the resulting code is a little more logical).
