2014-06-04memcg: kill CONFIG_MM_OWNEROleg Nesterov
CONFIG_MM_OWNER makes no sense. It is not user-selectable, it is only selected by CONFIG_MEMCG automatically. So we can kill this option in init/Kconfig and do s/CONFIG_MM_OWNER/CONFIG_MEMCG/ globally.

2014-04-07wait: WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED doesn't work if a zombie leader is traced by ↵Oleg Nesterov
another process Even if the main thread is dead the process still can stop/continue. However, if the leader is ptraced wait_consider_task(ptrace => false) always skips wait_task_stopped/wait_task_continued, so WSTOPPED or WCONTINUED can never work for the natural parent in this case. Move the "A zombie ptracee is only visible to its ptracer" check into the "if (!delay_group_leader(p))" block. ->notask_error is cleared by the "fall through" code below. This depends on the previous change, wait_task_stopped/continued must be avoided if !delay_group_leader() and the tracer is ->real_parent. Otherwise WSTOPPED|WEXITED could wrongly report "stopped" when the child is already dead (single-threaded or not). If it is traced by another task then the "stopped" state is fine until the debugger detaches and reveals a zombie state. Stupid test-case: void *tfunc(void *arg) { sleep(1); // wait for zombie leader raise(SIGSTOP); exit(0x13); return NULL; } int run_child(void) { pthread_t thread; if (!fork()) { int tracee = getppid(); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, 0,0) == 0); do ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, 0,0); while (wait(NULL) > 0); return 0; } sleep(1); // wait for PTRACE_ATTACH assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0); pthread_exit(NULL); } int main(void) { int child, stat; child = fork(); if (!child) return run_child(); assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WSTOPPED)); assert(stat == 0x137f); kill(child, SIGCONT); assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WCONTINUED)); assert(stat == 0xffff); assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0)); assert(stat == 0x1300); return 0; } Without this patch it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED), wait_task_stopped() is never called. Note: this doesn't fix all problems with a zombie delay_group_leader(), WCONTINUED | WEXITED check is not exactly right. debugger can't assume it will be notified if another thread reaps the whole thread group.

2014-04-07wait: WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED hangs if a zombie child is traced by real_parentOleg Nesterov
"A zombie is only visible to its ptracer" logic in wait_consider_task() is very wrong. Trivial test-case: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <assert.h> int main(void) { int child = fork(); if (!child) { assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0); return 0x23; } assert(waitid(P_ALL, child, NULL, WEXITED | WNOWAIT) == 0); assert(waitid(P_ALL, 0, NULL, WSTOPPED) == -1); return 0; } it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED) despite the fact it has a single zombie child. This is because wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) sees p->ptrace and cleares ->notask_error assuming that the debugger should detach and notify us. Change wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) to pretend that ptrace == T if the child is traced by us. This really simplifies the logic and allows us to do more fixes, see the next changes. This also hides the unwanted group stop state automatically, we can remove another ptrace_reparented() check. Unfortunately, this adds the following behavioural changes: 1. Before this patch wait(WEXITED | __WNOTHREAD) does not reap a natural child if it is traced by the caller's sub-thread. Hopefully nobody will ever notice this change, and I think that nobody should rely on this behaviour anyway. 2. SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED is no longer hidden from debugger if it is real parent. While this change comes as a side effect, I think it is good by itself. The group continued state can not be consumed by another process in this case, it doesn't depend on ptrace, it doesn't make sense to hide it from real parent. Perhaps we should add the thread_group_leader() check before wait_task_continued()? May be, but this shouldn't depend on ptrace_reparented().

2014-04-07wait: use EXIT_TRACE only if thread_group_leader(zombie)Oleg Nesterov
wait_task_zombie() always uses EXIT_TRACE/ptrace_unlink() if ptrace_reparented(). This is suboptimal and a bit confusing: we do not need do_notify_parent(p) if !thread_group_leader(p) and in this case we also do not need ptrace_unlink(), we can rely on ptrace_release_task(). Change wait_task_zombie() to check thread_group_leader() along with ptrace_reparented() and simplify the final p->exit_state transition.

2014-04-07wait: introduce EXIT_TRACE to avoid the racy EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE transitionOleg Nesterov
wait_task_zombie() first does EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_DEAD transition and drops tasklist_lock. If this task is not the natural child and it is traced, we change its state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE for ->real_parent. The last transition is racy, this is even documented in 50b8d257486a "ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE race". wait_consider_task() tries to detect this transition and clear ->notask_error but we can't rely on ptrace_reparented(), debugger can exit and do ptrace_unlink() before its sub-thread sets EXIT_ZOMBIE. And there is another problem which were missed before: this transition can also race with reparent_leader() which doesn't reset >exit_signal if EXIT_DEAD, assuming that this task must be reaped by someone else. So the tracee can be re-parented with ->exit_signal != SIGCHLD, and if /sbin/init doesn't use __WALL it becomes unreapable. This was fixed by the previous commit, but it was the temporary hack. 1. Add the new exit_state, EXIT_TRACE. It means that the task is the traced zombie, debugger is going to detach and notify its natural parent. This new state is actually EXIT_ZOMBIE | EXIT_DEAD. This way we can avoid the changes in proc/kgdb code, get_task_state() still reports "X (dead)" in this case. Note: with or without this change userspace can see Z -> X -> Z transition. Not really bad, but probably makes sense to fix. 2. Change wait_task_zombie() to use EXIT_TRACE instead of EXIT_DEAD if we need to notify the ->real_parent. 3. Revert the previous hack in reparent_leader(), now that EXIT_DEAD is always the final state we can safely ignore such a task. 4. Change wait_consider_task() to check EXIT_TRACE separately and kill the racy and no longer needed ptrace_reparented() case. If ptrace == T an EXIT_TRACE thread should be simply ignored, the owner of this state is going to ptrace_unlink() this task. We can pretend that it was already removed from ->ptraced list. Otherwise we should skip this thread too but clear ->notask_error, we must be the natural parent and debugger is going to untrace and notify us. IOW, this doesn't differ from "EXIT_ZOMBIE && p->ptrace" even if the task was already untraced.

2014-04-07kernel/exit.c: call proc_exit_connector() after exit_state is setGuillaume Morin
The process events connector delivers a notification when a process exits. This is really convenient for a process that spawns and wants to monitor its children through an epoll-able() interface. Unfortunately, there is a small window between when the event is delivered and the child become wait()-able. This is creates a race if the parent wants to make sure that it knows about the exit, e.g pid_t pid = fork(); if (pid > 0) { register_interest_for_pid(pid); if (waitpid(pid, NULL, WNOHANG) > 0) { /* We might have raced with exit() */ } return; } /* Child */ execve(...) register_interest_for_pid() would be telling the the connector socket reader to pay attention to events related to pid. Though this is not a bug, I think it would make the connector a bit more usable if this race was closed by simply moving the call to proc_exit_connector() from just before exit_notify() to right after. Oleg said: : Even with this patch the code above is still "racy" if the child is : multi-threaded. Plus it should obviously filter-out subthreads. And : afaics there is no way to make it reliable, even if you change the code : above so that waitpid() is called only after the last thread exits WNOHANG : still can fail.

2014-01-21introduce for_each_thread() to replace the buggy while_each_thread()Oleg Nesterov
while_each_thread() and next_thread() should die, almost every lockless usage is wrong. 1. Unless g == current, the lockless while_each_thread() is not safe. while_each_thread(g, t) can loop forever if g exits, next_thread() can't reach the unhashed thread in this case. Note that this can happen even if g is the group leader, it can exec. 2. Even if while_each_thread() itself was correct, people often use it wrongly. It was never safe to just take rcu_read_lock() and loop unless you verify that pid_alive(g) == T, even the first next_thread() can point to the already freed/reused memory. This patch adds signal_struct->thread_head and task->thread_node to create the normal rcu-safe list with the stable head. The new for_each_thread(g, t) helper is always safe under rcu_read_lock() as long as this task_struct can't go away. Note: of course it is ugly to have both task_struct->thread_node and the old task_struct->thread_group, we will kill it later, after we change the users of while_each_thread() to use for_each_thread(). Perhaps we can kill it even before we convert all users, we can reimplement next_thread(t) using the new thread_head/thread_node. But we can't do this right now because this will lead to subtle behavioural changes. For example, do/while_each_thread() always sees at least one task, while for_each_thread() can do nothing if the whole thread group has died. Or thread_group_empty(), currently its semantics is not clear unless thread_group_leader(p) and we need to audit the callers before we can change it. So this patch adds the new interface which has to coexist with the old one for some time, hopefully the next changes will be more or less straightforward and the old one will go away soon.

2013-06-15move exit_task_namespaces() outside of exit_notify()Oleg Nesterov
exit_notify() does exit_task_namespaces() after forget_original_parent(). This was needed to ensure that ->nsproxy can't be cleared prematurely, an exiting child we are going to reparent can do do_notify_parent() and use the parent's (ours) pid_ns. However, after 32084504 "pidns: use task_active_pid_ns in do_notify_parent" ->nsproxy != NULL is no longer needed, we rely on task_active_pid_ns(). Move exit_task_namespaces() from exit_notify() to do_exit(), after exit_fs() and before exit_task_work(). This solves the problem reported by Andrey, free_ipc_ns()->shm_destroy() does fput() which needs task_work_add(). Note: this particular problem can be fixed if we change fput(), and that change makes sense anyway. But there is another reason to move the callsite. The original reason for exit_task_namespaces() from the middle of exit_notify() was subtle and it has already gone away, now this looks confusing. And this allows us do simplify exit_notify(), we can avoid unlock/lock(tasklist) and we can use ->exit_state instead of PF_EXITING in forget_original_parent().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user space interface is now complete. This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces. The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from using cool new kernel features is broken. This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for the pid, user, mount namespaces. This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS, ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission checks are always applied. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same namespaces. Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my tree. Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree. Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

2012-09-24net: use a per task frag allocatorEric Dumazet
We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg() operations. This page is used to build fragments for skbs. Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent) But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_page Its also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit page allocator more than wanted. This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages, if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure. (up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86) This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device, but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled. Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments, but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536 Successfully tested on various ethernet devices.

2012-07-26posix_types.h: Cleanup stale __NFDBITS and related definitionsJosh Boyer
Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1). This uncovered an issue with the kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include <linux/types.h> after including <sys/select.h>. A build failure would be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flags to gcc. It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely. The current in-kernel uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines. Given that, we'll continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda4f5f ("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused macros. Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to nothing so we'll remove those at the same time.

find_new_reaper() changes pid_ns->child_reaper, see add0d4df ("pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing"). The original reason has gone away after the previous patch, ->children list must be empty after zap_pid_ns_processes(). However now we can not switch to init_pid_ns.child_reaper. __unhash_process() relies on the "->child_reaper == parent" check, but this check does not work if the last exiting task is also the child reaper. As Eric sugested, we can change __unhash_process() to use the parent's pid_ns and remove this code.

2012-06-20pidns: guarantee that the pidns init will be the last pidns process reapedEric W. Biederman
Today we have a twofold bug. Sometimes release_task on pid == 1 in a pid namespace can run before other processes in a pid namespace have had release task called. With the result that pid_ns_release_proc can be called before the last proc_flus_task() is done using upid->ns->proc_mnt, resulting in the use of a stale pointer. This same set of circumstances can lead to waitpid(...) returning for a processes started with clone(CLONE_NEWPID) before the every process in the pid namespace has actually exited. To fix this modify zap_pid_ns_processess wait until all other processes in the pid namespace have exited, even EXIT_DEAD zombies. The delay_group_leader and related tests ensure that the thread gruop leader will be the last thread of a process group to be reaped, or to become EXIT_DEAD and self reap. With the change to zap_pid_ns_processes we get the guarantee that pid == 1 in a pid namespace will be the last task that release_task is called on. With pid == 1 being the last task to pass through release_task pid_ns_release_proc can no longer be called too early nor can wait return before all of the EXIT_DEAD tasks in a pid namespace have exited.

2012-06-07Revert "mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 40af1bbdca47e5c8a2044039bb78ca8fd8b20f94. It's horribly and utterly broken for at least the following reasons: - calling sync_mm_rss() from mmput() is fundamentally wrong, because there's absolutely no reason to believe that the task that does the mmput() always does it on its own VM. Example: fork, ptrace, /proc - you name it. - calling it *after* having done mmdrop() on it is doubly insane, since the mm struct may well be gone now. - testing mm against NULL before you call it is insane too, since a NULL mm there would have caused oopses long before. .. and those are just the three bugs I found before I decided to give up looking for me and revert it asap. I should have caught it before I even took it, but I trusted Andrew too much.

2012-06-07mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/execKonstantin Khlebnikov
mm->rss_stat counters have per-task delta: task->rss_stat. Before changing task->mm pointer the kernel must flush this delta with sync_mm_rss(). do_exit() already calls sync_mm_rss() to flush the rss-counters before committing the rss statistics into task->signal->maxrss, taskstats, audit and other stuff. Unfortunately the kernel does this before calling mm_release(), which can call put_user() for processing task->clear_child_tid. So at this point we can trigger page-faults and task->rss_stat becomes non-zero again. As a result mm->rss_stat becomes inconsistent and check_mm() will print something like this: | BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:1 val:-1 | BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:2 val:1 This patch moves sync_mm_rss() into mm_release(), and moves mm_release() out of do_exit() and calls it earlier. After mm_release() there should be no pagefaults.

Outputting the pid with the program name in the warning printk helps distinguish which instances of a program are using the stack most. This is a small patch, but useful.

2012-05-31cred: remove task_is_dead() from __task_cred() validationOleg Nesterov
Commit 8f92054e7ca1 ("CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner comment"): add the following validation condition: task->exit_state >= 0 to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change its own credentials. OK, but afaics currently this can only help wait_task_zombie() which calls __task_cred() without rcu lock. Remove this validation and change wait_task_zombie() to use task_uid() instead. This means we do rcu_read_lock() only to shut up the lockdep, but we already do the same in, say, wait_task_stopped(). task_is_dead() should die, task->exit_state != 0 means that this task has passed exit_notify(), only do_wait-like code paths should use this. Unfortunately, we can't kill task_is_dead() right now, it has already acquired buggy users in drivers/staging. The fix already exists.

2012-05-23genirq: reimplement exit_irq_thread() hook via task_work_add()Oleg Nesterov
exit_irq_thread() and task->irq_thread are needed to handle the unexpected (and unlikely) exit of irq-thread. We can use task_work instead and make this all private to kernel/irq/manage.c, cleanup plus micro-optimization. 1. rename exit_irq_thread() to irq_thread_dtor(), make it static, and move it up before irq_thread(). 2. change irq_thread() to do task_work_add(irq_thread_dtor) at the start and task_work_cancel() before return. tracehook_notify_resume() can never play with kthreads, only do_exit()->exit_task_work() can call the callback and this is what we want. 3. remove task_struct->irq_thread and the special hook in do_exit().

2012-05-23task_work_add: generic process-context callbacksOleg Nesterov
Provide a simple mechanism that allows running code in the (nonatomic) context of the arbitrary task. The caller does task_work_add(task, task_work) and this task executes task_work->func() either from do_notify_resume() or from do_exit(). The callback can rely on PF_EXITING to detect the latter case. "struct task_work" can be embedded in another struct, still it has "void *data" to handle the most common/simple case. This allows us to kill the ->replacement_session_keyring hack, and potentially this can have more users. Performance-wise, this adds 2 "unlikely(!hlist_empty())" checks into tracehook_notify_resume() and do_exit(). But at the same time we can remove the "replacement_session_keyring != NULL" checks from arch/*/signal.c and exit_creds(). Note: task_work_add/task_work_run abuses ->pi_lock. This is only because this lock is already used by lookup_pi_state() to synchronize with do_exit() setting PF_EXITING. Fortunately the scope of this lock in task_work.c is really tiny, and the code is unlikely anyway.

2012-05-17cred: use correct cred accessor with regards to rcu read lockSasha Levin
Commit "userns: Convert setting and getting uid and gid system calls to use kuid and kgid has modified the accessors in wait_task_continued() and wait_task_stopped() to use __task_cred() instead of task_uid(). __task_cred() assumes that we're inside a rcu read lock, which is untrue for these two functions. Modify it to use task_uid() instead. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
