2015-11-10xfs: fix log recovery op header validation assertBrian Foster
Commit 89cebc84 ("xfs: validate transaction header length on log recovery") added additional validation of the on-disk op header length to protect from buffer overflow during log recovery. It accounts for the fact that the transaction header can be split across multiple op headers. It added an assert for when this occurs that verifies the length of the second part of a split transaction header is less than a full transaction header. In other words, it expects that the first op header of a split transaction header includes at least some portion of the transaction header. This expectation is not always valid as a zero-length op header can exist for the first op header of a split transaction header (see xlog_recover_add_to_trans() for details). This means that the second op header can have a valid, full length transaction header and thus the full header is copied in xlog_recover_add_to_cont_trans(). Fix the assert in xlog_recover_add_to_cont_trans() to handle this case correctly and require that the op header length is less than or equal to a full transaction header.

2015-11-03xfs: optimise away log forces on timestamp updates for fdatasyncDave Chinner
xfs: timestamp updates cause excessive fdatasync log traffic Sage Weil reported that a ceph test workload was writing to the log on every fdatasync during an overwrite workload. Event tracing showed that the only metadata modification being made was the timestamp updates during the write(2) syscall, but fdatasync(2) is supposed to ignore them. The key observation was that the transactions in the log all looked like this: INODE: #regs: 4 ino: 0x8b flags: 0x45 dsize: 32 And contained a flags field of 0x45 or 0x85, and had data and attribute forks following the inode core. This means that the timestamp updates were triggering dirty relogging of previously logged parts of the inode that hadn't yet been flushed back to disk. There are two parts to this problem. The first is that XFS relogs dirty regions in subsequent transactions, so it carries around the fields that have been dirtied since the last time the inode was written back to disk, not since the last time the inode was forced into the log. The second part is that on v5 filesystems, the inode change count update during inode dirtying also sets the XFS_ILOG_CORE flag, so on v5 filesystems this makes a timestamp update dirty the entire inode. As a result when fdatasync is run, it looks at the dirty fields in the inode, and sees more than just the timestamp flag, even though the only metadata change since the last fdatasync was just the timestamps. Hence we force the log on every subsequent fdatasync even though it is not needed. To fix this, add a new field to the inode log item that tracks changes since the last time fsync/fdatasync forced the log to flush the changes to the journal. This flag is updated when we dirty the inode, but we do it before updating the change count so it does not carry the "core dirty" flag from timestamp updates. The fields are zeroed when the inode is marked clean (due to writeback/freeing) or when an fsync/datasync forces the log. Hence if we only dirty the timestamps on the inode between fsync/fdatasync calls, the fdatasync will not trigger another log force.

2015-11-03xfs: invalidate cached acl if set directly via xattrBrian Foster
ACLs are stored as extended attributes of the inode to which they apply. XFS converts the standard "system.posix_acl_[access|default]" attribute names used to control ACLs to "trusted.SGI_ACL_[FILE|DEFAULT]" as stored on-disk. These xattrs are directly exposed in on-disk format via getxattr/setxattr, without any ACL aware code in the path to perform validation, etc. This is partly historical and supports backup/restore applications such as xfsdump to back up and restore the binary blob that represents ACLs as-is. Andreas reports that the ACLs observed via the getfacl interface is not consistent when ACLs are set directly via the setxattr path. This occurs because the ACLs are cached in-core against the inode and the xattr path has no knowledge that the operation relates to ACLs. Update the xattr set codepath to trap writes of the special XFS ACL attributes and invalidate the associated cached ACL when this occurs. This ensures that the correct ACLs are used on a subsequent operation through the actual ACL interface. Note that this does not update or add support for setting the ACL xattrs directly beyond the restore use case that requires a correctly formatted binary blob and to restore a consistent i_mode at the same time. It is still possible for a root user to set an invalid or inconsistent (with i_mode) ACL blob on-disk and potentially cause corruption.

2015-09-19fs-writeback: unplug before cond_resched in writeback_sb_inodesChris Mason
Commit 505a666ee3fc ("writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and writeback_inodes_wb()") has us holding a plug during writeback_sb_inodes, which increases the merge rate when relatively contiguous small files are written by the filesystem. It helps both on flash and spindles. For an fs_mark workload creating 4K files in parallel across 8 drives, this commit improves performance ~9% more by unplugging before calling cond_resched(). cond_resched() doesn't trigger an implicit unplug, so explicitly getting the IO down to the device before scheduling reduces latencies for anyone waiting on clean pages. It also cuts down on how often we use kblockd to unplug, which means less work bouncing from one workqueue to another.

2015-09-15dax: fix O_DIRECT I/O to the last block of a blockdevJeff Moyer
commit bbab37ddc20b (block: Add support for DAX reads/writes to block devices) caused a regression in mkfs.xfs. That utility sets the block size of the device to the logical block size using the BLKBSZSET ioctl, and then issues a single sector read from the last sector of the device. This results in the dax_io code trying to do a page-sized read from 512 bytes from the end of the device. The result is -ERANGE being returned to userspace. The fix is to align the block to the page size before calling get_block. Thanks to willy for simplifying my original patch.

We had to revert the pluggin in writeback_sb_inodes() because the wb->list_lock is held, but we could easily plug at a higher level before taking that lock, and unplug after releasing it. This does that. Chris will run performance numbers, just to verify that this approach is comparable to the alternative (we could just drop and re-take the lock around the blk_finish_plug() rather than these two commits. I'd have preferred waiting for actual performance numbers before picking one approach over the other, but I don't want to release rc1 with the known "sleeping function called from invalid context" issue, so I'll pick this cleanup version for now. But if the numbers show that we really want to plug just at the writeback_sb_inodes() level, and we should just play ugly games with the spinlock, we'll switch to that.

2015-09-11Revert "writeback: plug writeback at a high level"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit d353d7587d02116b9732d5c06615aed75a4d3a47. Doing the block layer plug/unplug inside writeback_sb_inodes() is broken, because that function is actually called with a spinlock held: wb->list_lock, as pointed out by Chris Mason. Chris suggested just dropping and re-taking the spinlock around the blk_finish_plug() call (the plgging itself can happen under the spinlock), and that would technically work, but is just disgusting. We do something fairly similar - but not quite as disgusting because we at least have a better reason for it - in writeback_single_inode(), so it's not like the caller can depend on the lock being held over the call, but in this case there just isn't any good reason for that "release and re-take the lock" pattern. [ In general, we should really strive to avoid the "release and retake" pattern for locks, because in the general case it can easily cause subtle bugs when the caller caches any state around the call that might be invalidated by dropping the lock even just temporarily. ] But in this case, the plugging should be easy to just move up to the callers before the spinlock is taken, which should even improve the effectiveness of the plug. So there is really no good reason to play games with locking here. I'll send off a test-patch so that Dave Chinner can verify that that plug movement works. In the meantime this just reverts the problematic commit and adds a comment to the function so that we hopefully don't make this mistake again.

Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling: cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup. It didn't have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO. writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against.

2015-09-10fs: Don't dump core if the corefile would become world-readable.Jann Horn
On a filesystem like vfat, all files are created with the same owner and mode independent of who created the file. When a vfat filesystem is mounted with root as owner of all files and read access for everyone, root's processes left world-readable coredumps on it (but other users' processes only left empty corefiles when given write access because of the uid mismatch). Given that the old behavior was inconsistent and insecure, I don't see a problem with changing it. Now, all processes refuse to dump core unless the resulting corefile will only be readable by their owner.

2015-09-10fs: if a coredump already exists, unlink and recreate with O_EXCLJann Horn
It was possible for an attacking user to trick root (or another user) into writing his coredumps into an attacker-readable, pre-existing file using rename() or link(), causing the disclosure of secret data from the victim process' virtual memory. Depending on the configuration, it was also possible to trick root into overwriting system files with coredumps. Fix that issue by never writing coredumps into existing files. Requirements for the attack: - The attack only applies if the victim's process has a nonzero RLIMIT_CORE and is dumpable. - The attacker can trick the victim into coredumping into an attacker-writable directory D, either because the core_pattern is relative and the victim's cwd is attacker-writable or because an absolute core_pattern pointing to a world-writable directory is used. - The attacker has one of these: A: on a system with protected_hardlinks=0: execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned, attacker-readable file on the same partition as D, and the victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part of the attack takes place. (In practice, there are lots of files that fulfill this condition, e.g. entries in Debian's /var/lib/dpkg/info/.) This does not apply to most Linux systems because most distros set protected_hardlinks=1. B: on a system with protected_hardlinks=1: execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned, attacker-readable and attacker-writable file on the same partition as D, and the victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part of the attack takes place. (This seems to be uncommon.) C: on any system, independent of protected_hardlinks: write access to a non-sticky folder containing a victim-owned, attacker-readable file on the same partition as D (This seems to be uncommon.) The basic idea is that the attacker moves the victim-owned file to where he expects the victim process to dump its core. The victim process dumps its core into the existing file, and the attacker reads the coredump from it. If the attacker can't move the file because he does not have write access to the containing directory, he can instead link the file to a directory he controls, then wait for the original link to the file to be deleted (because the kernel checks that the link count of the corefile is 1). A less reliable variant that requires D to be non-sticky works with link() and does not require deletion of the original link: link() the file into D, but then unlink() it directly before the kernel performs the link count check. On systems with protected_hardlinks=0, this variant allows an attacker to not only gain information from coredumps, but also clobber existing, victim-writable files with coredumps. (This could theoretically lead to a privilege escalation.)

2015-09-10hfs,hfsplus: cache pages correctly between bnode_create and bnode_freeHin-Tak Leung
Pages looked up by __hfs_bnode_create() (called by hfs_bnode_create() and hfs_bnode_find() for finding or creating pages corresponding to an inode) are immediately kmap()'ed and used (both read and write) and kunmap()'ed, and should not be page_cache_release()'ed until hfs_bnode_free(). This patch fixes a problem I first saw in July 2012: merely running "du" on a large hfsplus-mounted directory a few times on a reasonably loaded system would get the hfsplus driver all confused and complaining about B-tree inconsistencies, and generates a "BUG: Bad page state". Most recently, I can generate this problem on up-to-date Fedora 22 with shipped kernel 4.0.5, by running "du /" (="/" + "/home" + "/mnt" + other smaller mounts) and "du /mnt" simultaneously on two windows, where /mnt is a lightly-used QEMU VM image of the full Mac OS X 10.9: $ df -i / /home /mnt Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/mapper/fedora-root 3276800 551665 2725135 17% / /dev/mapper/fedora-home 52879360 716221 52163139 2% /home /dev/nbd0p2 4294967295 1387818 4293579477 1% /mnt After applying the patch, I was able to run "du /" (60+ times) and "du /mnt" (150+ times) continuously and simultaneously for 6+ hours. There are many reports of the hfsplus driver getting confused under load and generating "BUG: Bad page state" or other similar issues over the years. [1] The unpatched code [2] has always been wrong since it entered the kernel tree. The only reason why it gets away with it is that the kmap/memcpy/kunmap follow very quickly after the page_cache_release() so the kernel has not had a chance to reuse the memory for something else, most of the time. The current RW driver appears to have followed the design and development of the earlier read-only hfsplus driver [3], where-by version 0.1 (Dec 2001) had a B-tree node-centric approach to read_cache_page()/page_cache_release() per bnode_get()/bnode_put(), migrating towards version 0.2 (June 2002) of caching and releasing pages per inode extents. When the current RW code first entered the kernel [2] in 2005, there was an REF_PAGES conditional (and "//" commented out code) to switch between B-node centric paging to inode-centric paging. There was a mistake with the direction of one of the REF_PAGES conditionals in __hfs_bnode_create(). In a subsequent "remove debug code" commit [4], the read_cache_page()/page_cache_release() per bnode_get()/bnode_put() were removed, but a page_cache_release() was mistakenly left in (propagating the "REF_PAGES <-> !REF_PAGE" mistake), and the commented-out page_cache_release() in bnode_release() (which should be spanned by !REF_PAGES) was never enabled.

2015-09-10fs/coda: fix readlink buffer overflowJan Harkes
Dan Carpenter discovered a buffer overflow in the Coda file system readlink code. A userspace file system daemon can return a 4096 byte result which then triggers a one byte write past the allocated readlink result buffer. This does not trigger with an unmodified Coda implementation because Coda has a 1024 byte limit for symbolic links, however other userspace file systems using the Coda kernel module could be affected. Although this is an obvious overflow, I don't think this has to be handled as too sensitive from a security perspective because the overflow is on the Coda userspace daemon side which already needs root to open Coda's kernel device and to mount the file system before we get to the point that links can be read.

2015-09-10proc: change proc_subdir_lock to a rwlockWaiman Long
The proc_subdir_lock spinlock is used to allow only one task to make change to the proc directory structure as well as looking up information in it. However, the information lookup part can actually be entered by more than one task as the pde_get() and pde_put() reference count update calls in the critical sections are atomic increment and decrement respectively and so are safe with concurrent updates. The x86 architecture has already used qrwlock which is fair and other architectures like ARM are in the process of switching to qrwlock. So unfairness shouldn't be a concern in that conversion. This patch changed the proc_subdir_lock to a rwlock in order to enable concurrent lookup. The following functions were modified to take a write lock: - proc_register() - remove_proc_entry() - remove_proc_subtree() The following functions were modified to take a read lock: - xlate_proc_name() - proc_lookup_de() - proc_readdir_de() A parallel /proc filesystem search with the "find" command (1000 threads) was run on a 4-socket Haswell-EX box (144 threads). Before the patch, the parallel search took about 39s. After the patch, the parallel find took only 25s, a saving of about 14s. The micro-benchmark that I used was artificial, but it was used to reproduce an exit hanging problem that I saw in real application. In fact, only allow one task to do a lookup seems too limiting to me. Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.

2015-09-10procfs: always expose /proc/<pid>/map_files/ and make it readableCalvin Owens
Currently, /proc/<pid>/map_files/ is restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and is only exposed if CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set. Each mapped file region gets a symlink in /proc/<pid>/map_files/ corresponding to the virtual address range at which it is mapped. The symlinks work like the symlinks in /proc/<pid>/fd/, so you can follow them to the backing file even if that backing file has been unlinked. Currently, files which are mapped, unlinked, and closed are impossible to stat() from userspace. Exposing /proc/<pid>/map_files/ closes this functionality "hole". Not being able to stat() such files makes noticing and explicitly accounting for the space they use on the filesystem impossible. You can work around this by summing up the space used by every file in the filesystem and subtracting that total from what statfs() tells you, but that obviously isn't great, and it becomes unworkable once your filesystem becomes large enough. This patch moves map_files/ out from behind CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE, and adjusts the permissions enforced on it as follows: * proc_map_files_lookup() * proc_map_files_readdir() * map_files_d_revalidate() Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN restriction, leaving only the current restriction requiring PTRACE_MODE_READ. The information made available to userspace by these three functions is already available in /proc/PID/maps with MODE_READ, so I don't see any reason to limit them any further (see below for more detail). * proc_map_files_follow_link() This stub has been added, and requires that the user have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to follow the links in map_files/, since there was concern on LKML both about the potential for bypassing permissions on ancestor directories in the path to files pointed to, and about what happens with more exotic memory mappings created by some drivers (ie dma-buf). In older versions of this patch, I changed every permission check in the four functions above to enforce MODE_ATTACH instead of MODE_READ. This was an oversight on my part, and after revisiting the discussion it seems that nobody was concerned about anything outside of what is made possible by ->follow_link(). So in this version, I've left the checks for PTRACE_MODE_READ as-is.

As noted by Minchan, a benefit of reading idle flag from /proc/kpageflags is that one can easily filter dirty and/or unevictable pages while estimating the size of unused memory. Note that idle flag read from /proc/kpageflags may be stale in case the page was accessed via a PTE, because it would be too costly to iterate over all page mappings on each /proc/kpageflags read to provide an up-to-date value. To make sure the flag is up-to-date one has to read /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap first.

2015-09-10mm: introduce idle page trackingVladimir Davydov
Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system efficiently, e.g. by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately. Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced. However, this method has two serious shortcomings: - it does not count unmapped file pages - it affects the reclaimer logic To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags, Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page, and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables (it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2) system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g. by reading /proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount of pages that are not used by the workload. The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory reclaimer. A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file. If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was cleared. Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.
