2016-09-01ovl: don't cache acl on overlay layerMiklos Szeredi
Some operations (setxattr/chmod) can make the cached acl stale. We either need to clear overlay's acl cache for the affected inode or prevent acl caching on the overlay altogether. Preventing caching has the following advantages: - no double caching, less memory used - overlay cache doesn't go stale when fs clears it's own cache Possible disadvantage is performance loss. If that becomes a problem get_acl() can be optimized for overlayfs. This patch disables caching by pre setting i_*acl to a value that - has bit 0 set, so is_uncached_acl() will return true - is not equal to ACL_NOT_CACHED, so get_acl() will not overwrite it The constant -3 was chosen for this purpose.

2016-08-07block/mm: make bdev_ops->rw_page() take a bool for read/writeJens Axboe
Commit abf545484d31 changed it from an 'rw' flags type to the newer ops based interface, but now we're effectively leaking some bdev internals to the rest of the kernel. Since we only care about whether it's a read or a write at that level, just pass in a bool 'is_write' parameter instead. Then we can also move op_is_write() and friends back under CONFIG_BLOCK protection. Reviewed-by: Mike Christie <mchristi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2016-08-02firmware: support loading into a pre-allocated bufferStephen Boyd
Some systems are memory constrained but they need to load very large firmwares. The firmware subsystem allows drivers to request this firmware be loaded from the filesystem, but this requires that the entire firmware be loaded into kernel memory first before it's provided to the driver. This can lead to a situation where we map the firmware twice, once to load the firmware into kernel memory and once to copy the firmware into the final resting place. This creates needless memory pressure and delays loading because we have to copy from kernel memory to somewhere else. Let's add a request_firmware_into_buf() API that allows drivers to request firmware be loaded directly into a pre-allocated buffer. This skips the intermediate step of allocating a buffer in kernel memory to hold the firmware image while it's read from the filesystem. It also requires that drivers know how much memory they'll require before requesting the firmware and negates any benefits of firmware caching because the firmware layer doesn't manage the buffer lifetime. For a 16MB buffer, about half the time is spent performing a memcpy from the buffer to the final resting place. I see loading times go from 0.081171 seconds to 0.047696 seconds after applying this patch. Plus the vmalloc pressure is reduced. This is based on a patch from Vikram Mulukutla on codeaurora.org: https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.18/commit/drivers/base/firmware_class.c?h=rel/msm-3.18&id=0a328c5f6cd999f5c591f172216835636f39bcb5 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160607164741.31849-4-stephen.boyd@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <stephen.boyd@linaro.org> Cc: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Vikram Mulukutla <markivx@codeaurora.org> Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Cc: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull userns vfs updates from Eric Biederman: "This tree contains some very long awaited work on generalizing the user namespace support for mounting filesystems to include filesystems with a backing store. The real world target is fuse but the goal is to update the vfs to allow any filesystem to be supported. This patchset is based on a lot of code review and testing to approach that goal. While looking at what is needed to support the fuse filesystem it became clear that there were things like xattrs for security modules that needed special treatment. That the resolution of those concerns would not be fuse specific. That sorting out these general issues made most sense at the generic level, where the right people could be drawn into the conversation, and the issues could be solved for everyone. At a high level what this patchset does a couple of simple things: - Add a user namespace owner (s_user_ns) to struct super_block. - Teach the vfs to handle filesystem uids and gids not mapping into to kuids and kgids and being reported as INVALID_UID and INVALID_GID in vfs data structures. By assigning a user namespace owner filesystems that are mounted with only user namespace privilege can be detected. This allows security modules and the like to know which mounts may not be trusted. This also allows the set of uids and gids that are communicated to the filesystem to be capped at the set of kuids and kgids that are in the owning user namespace of the filesystem. One of the crazier corner casees this handles is the case of inodes whose i_uid or i_gid are not mapped into the vfs. Most of the code simply doesn't care but it is easy to confuse the inode writeback path so no operation that could cause an inode write-back is permitted for such inodes (aka only reads are allowed). This set of changes starts out by cleaning up the code paths involved in user namespace permirted mounts. Then when things are clean enough adds code that cleanly sets s_user_ns. Then additional restrictions are added that are possible now that the filesystem superblock contains owner information. These changes should not affect anyone in practice, but there are some parts of these restrictions that are changes in behavior. - Andy's restriction on suid executables that does not honor the suid bit when the path is from another mount namespace (think /proc/[pid]/fd/) or when the filesystem was mounted by a less privileged user. - The replacement of the user namespace implicit setting of MNT_NODEV with implicitly setting SB_I_NODEV on the filesystem superblock instead. Using SB_I_NODEV is a stronger form that happens to make this state user invisible. The user visibility can be managed but it caused problems when it was introduced from applications reasonably expecting mount flags to be what they were set to. There is a little bit of work remaining before it is safe to support mounting filesystems with backing store in user namespaces, beyond what is in this set of changes. - Verifying the mounter has permission to read/write the block device during mount. - Teaching the integrity modules IMA and EVM to handle filesystems mounted with only user namespace root and to reduce trust in their security xattrs accordingly. - Capturing the mounters credentials and using that for permission checks in d_automount and the like. (Given that overlayfs already does this, and we need the work in d_automount it make sense to generalize this case). Furthermore there are a few changes that are on the wishlist: - Get all filesystems supporting posix acls using the generic posix acls so that posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user may be removed. [Maintainability] - Reducing the permission checks in places such as remount to allow the superblock owner to perform them. - Allowing the superblock owner to chown files with unmapped uids and gids to something that is mapped so the files may be treated normally. I am not considering even obvious relaxations of permission checks until it is clear there are no more corner cases that need to be locked down and handled generically.

2016-07-26mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migrationMinchan Kim
We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough to make high-order pages. But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS, android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation. For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,. enhance compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory, vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system, their solutions are void in the long run. So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with movable. For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags. If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three functions which are function pointers of struct address_space_operations. 1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode); What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true* if driver isolates page successfully. On returing true, VM marks the page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the page for isolation. If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should return *false*. Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields. 2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping, struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode); After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page. The function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page and set up fields of struct page newpage. Keep in mind that you should indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via __ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage successfully and returns 0. If driver cannot migrate the page at the moment, driver can return -EAGAIN. On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal migration failure". On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give up the page migration without retrying in this time. Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions. 3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *); If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed page. In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the own data structure. 4. non-lru movable page flags There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page. * PG_movable Driver should use the below function to make page movable under page_lock. void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping) It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family functions which will be called by VM. Exactly speaking, PG_movable is not a real flag of struct page. Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's lower bits to represent it. #define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2 page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE; so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly. Instead, driver should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping so it can get right struct address_space. For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function. However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page. As well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at __ClearPageMovable). But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated. Because LRU pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping. It is also good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim. For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function. Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page. The lock_page prevents sudden destroying of page->mapping. Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via __ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page. * PG_isolated To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated page as PG_isolated under lock_page. So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated non-lru movable page, it can skip it. Driver doesn't need to manipulate the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically. Keep in mind that if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field. PG_isolated is alias with PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.

2016-07-26fs/fs-writeback.c: add a new writeback list for syncDave Chinner
wait_sb_inodes() currently does a walk of all inodes in the filesystem to find dirty one to wait on during sync. This is highly inefficient and wastes a lot of CPU when there are lots of clean cached inodes that we don't need to wait on. To avoid this "all inode" walk, we need to track inodes that are currently under writeback that we need to wait for. We do this by adding inodes to a writeback list on the sb when the mapping is first tagged as having pages under writeback. wait_sb_inodes() can then walk this list of "inodes under IO" and wait specifically just for the inodes that the current sync(2) needs to wait for. Define a couple helpers to add/remove an inode from the writeback list and call them when the overall mapping is tagged for or cleared from writeback. Update wait_sb_inodes() to walk only the inodes under writeback due to the sync. With this change, filesystem sync times are significantly reduced for fs' with largely populated inode caches and otherwise no other work to do. For example, on a 16xcpu 2GHz x86-64 server, 10TB XFS filesystem with a ~10m entry inode cache, sync times are reduced from ~7.3s to less than 0.1s when the filesystem is fully clean.

2016-07-05fs: Update i_[ug]id_(read|write) to translate relative to s_user_nsSeth Forshee
For filesystems mounted from a user namespace on-disk ids should be translated relative to s_users_ns rather than init_user_ns. When an id in the filesystem doesn't exist in s_user_ns the associated id in the inode will be set to INVALID_[UG]ID, which turns these into de facto "nobody" ids. This actually maps pretty well into the way most code already works, and those places where it didn't were fixed in previous patches. Moving forward vfs code needs to be careful to handle instances where ids in inodes may be invalid. Signed-off-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2016-07-05vfs: Don't modify inodes with a uid or gid unknown to the vfsEric W. Biederman
When a filesystem outside of init_user_ns is mounted it could have uids and gids stored in it that do not map to init_user_ns. The plan is to allow those filesystems to set i_uid to INVALID_UID and i_gid to INVALID_GID for unmapped uids and gids and then to handle that strange case in the vfs to ensure there is consistent robust handling of the weirdness. Upon a careful review of the vfs and filesystems about the only case where there is any possibility of confusion or trouble is when the inode is written back to disk. In that case filesystems typically read the inode->i_uid and inode->i_gid and write them to disk even when just an inode timestamp is being updated. Which leads to a rule that is very simple to implement and understand inodes whose i_uid or i_gid is not valid may not be written. In dealing with access times this means treat those inodes as if the inode flag S_NOATIME was set. Reads of the inodes appear safe and useful, but any write or modification is disallowed. The only inode write that is allowed is a chown that sets the uid and gid on the inode to valid values. After such a chown the inode is normal and may be treated as such. Denying all writes to inodes with uids or gids unknown to the vfs also prevents several oddball cases where corruption would have occurred because the vfs does not have complete information. One problem case that is prevented is attempting to use the gid of a directory for new inodes where the directories sgid bit is set but the directories gid is not mapped. Another problem case avoided is attempting to update the evm hash after setxattr, removexattr, and setattr. As the evm hash includeds the inode->i_uid or inode->i_gid not knowning the uid or gid prevents a correct evm hash from being computed. evm hash verification also fails when i_uid or i_gid is unknown but that is essentially harmless as it does not cause filesystem corruption.

2016-06-30vfs: merge .d_select_inode() into .d_real()Miklos Szeredi
The two methods essentially do the same: find the real dentry/inode belonging to an overlay dentry. The difference is in the usage: vfs_open() uses ->d_select_inode() and expects the function to perform copy-up if necessary based on the open flags argument. file_dentry() uses ->d_real() passing in the overlay dentry as well as the underlying inode. vfs_rename() uses ->d_select_inode() but passes zero flags. ->d_real() with a zero inode would have worked just as well here. This patch merges the functionality of ->d_select_inode() into ->d_real() by adding an 'open_flags' argument to the latter. [Al Viro] Make the signature of d_real() match that of ->d_real() again.

2016-06-23fs: Add user namespace member to struct super_blockEric W. Biederman
Start marking filesystems with a user namespace owner, s_user_ns. In this change this is only used for permission checks of who may mount a filesystem. Ultimately s_user_ns will be used for translating ids and checking capabilities for filesystems mounted from user namespaces. The default policy for setting s_user_ns is implemented in sget(), which arranges for s_user_ns to be set to current_user_ns() and to ensure that the mounter of the filesystem has CAP_SYS_ADMIN in that user_ns. The guts of sget are split out into another function sget_userns(). The function sget_userns calls alloc_super with the specified user namespace or it verifies the existing superblock that was found has the expected user namespace, and fails with EBUSY when it is not. This failing prevents users with the wrong privileges mounting a filesystem. The reason for the split of sget_userns from sget is that in some cases such as mount_ns and kernfs_mount_ns a different policy for permission checking of mounts and setting s_user_ns is necessary, and the existence of sget_userns() allows those policies to be implemented. The helper mount_ns is expected to be used for filesystems such as proc and mqueuefs which present per namespace information. The function mount_ns is modified to call sget_userns instead of sget to ensure the user namespace owner of the namespace whose information is presented by the filesystem is used on the superblock. For sysfs and cgroup the appropriate permission checks are already in place, and kernfs_mount_ns is modified to call sget_userns so that the init_user_ns is the only user namespace used. For the cgroup filesystem cgroup namespace mounts are bind mounts of a subset of the full cgroup filesystem and as such s_user_ns must be the same for all of them as there is only a single superblock. Mounts of sysfs that vary based on the network namespace could in principle change s_user_ns but it keeps the analysis and implementation of kernfs simpler if that is not supported, and at present there appear to be no benefits from supporting a different s_user_ns on any sysfs mount. Getting the details of setting s_user_ns correct has been a long process. Thanks to Pavel Tikhorirorv who spotted a leak in sget_userns. Thanks to Seth Forshee who has kept the work alive.

2016-06-23vfs: Pass data, ns, and ns->userns to mount_nsEric W. Biederman
Today what is normally called data (the mount options) is not passed to fill_super through mount_ns. Pass the mount options and the namespace separately to mount_ns so that filesystems such as proc that have mount options, can use mount_ns. Pass the user namespace to mount_ns so that the standard permission check that verifies the mounter has permissions over the namespace can be performed in mount_ns instead of in each filesystems .mount method. Thus removing the duplication between mqueuefs and proc in terms of permission checks. The extra permission check does not currently affect the rpc_pipefs filesystem and the nfsd filesystem as those filesystems do not currently allow unprivileged mounts. Without unpvileged mounts it is guaranteed that the caller has already passed capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) which guarantees extra permission check will pass. Update rpc_pipefs and the nfsd filesystem to ensure that the network namespace reference is always taken in fill_super and always put in kill_sb so that the logic is simpler and so that errors originating inside of fill_super do not cause a network namespace leak.

2016-06-23mnt: Refactor fs_fully_visible into mount_too_revealingEric W. Biederman
Replace the call of fs_fully_visible in do_new_mount from before the new superblock is allocated with a call of mount_too_revealing after the superblock is allocated. This winds up being a much better location for maintainability of the code. The first change this enables is the replacement of FS_USERNS_VISIBLE with SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE. Moving the flag from struct filesystem_type to sb_iflags on the superblock. Unfortunately mount_too_revealing fundamentally needs to touch mnt_flags adding several MNT_LOCKED_XXX flags at the appropriate times. If the mnt_flags did not need to be touched the code could be easily moved into the filesystem specific mount code. Acked-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2016-05-02parallel lookups machinery, part 2Al Viro
We'll need to verify that there's neither a hashed nor in-lookup dentry with desired parent/name before adding to in-lookup set. One possible solution would be to hold the parent's ->d_lock through both checks, but while the in-lookup set is relatively small at any time, dcache is not. And holding the parent's ->d_lock through something like __d_lookup_rcu() would suck too badly. So we leave the parent's ->d_lock alone, which means that we watch out for the following scenario: * we verify that there's no hashed match * existing in-lookup match gets hashed by another process * we verify that there's no in-lookup matches and decide that everything's fine. Solution: per-directory kinda-sorta seqlock, bumped around the times we hash something that used to be in-lookup or move (and hash) something in place of in-lookup. Then the above would turn into * read the counter * do dcache lookup * if no matches found, check for in-lookup matches * if there had been none of those either, check if the counter has changed; repeat if it has. The "kinda-sorta" part is due to the fact that we don't have much spare space in inode. There is a spare word (shared with i_bdev/i_cdev/i_pipe), so the counter part is not a problem, but spinlock is a different story. We could use the parent's ->d_lock, and it would be less painful in terms of contention, for __d_add() it would be rather inconvenient to grab; we could do that (using lock_parent()), but... Fortunately, we can get serialization on the counter itself, and it might be a good idea in general; we can use cmpxchg() in a loop to get from even to odd and smp_store_release() from odd to even. This commit adds the counter and updating logics; the readers will be added in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
