2024-11-08fork: only invoke khugepaged, ksm hooks if no errorLorenzo Stoakes1-5/+2
[ Upstream commit 985da552a98e27096444508ce5d853244019111f ] There is no reason to invoke these hooks early against an mm that is in an incomplete state. The change in commit d24062914837 ("fork: use __mt_dup() to duplicate maple tree in dup_mmap()") makes this more pertinent as we may be in a state where entries in the maple tree are not yet consistent. Their placement early in dup_mmap() only appears to have been meaningful for early error checking, and since functionally it'd require a very small allocation to fail (in practice 'too small to fail') that'd only occur in the most dire circumstances, meaning the fork would fail or be OOM'd in any case. Since both khugepaged and KSM tracking are there to provide optimisations to memory performance rather than critical functionality, it doesn't really matter all that much if, under such dire memory pressure, we fail to register an mm with these. As a result, we follow the example of commit d2081b2bf819 ("mm: khugepaged: make khugepaged_enter() void function") and make ksm_fork() a void function also. We only expose the mm to these functions once we are done with them and only if no error occurred in the fork operation.

2024-11-08fork: do not invoke uffd on fork if error occursLorenzo Stoakes1-1/+4
[ Upstream commit f64e67e5d3a45a4a04286c47afade4b518acd47b ] Patch series "fork: do not expose incomplete mm on fork". During fork we may place the virtual memory address space into an inconsistent state before the fork operation is complete. In addition, we may encounter an error during the fork operation that indicates that the virtual memory address space is invalidated. As a result, we should not be exposing it in any way to external machinery that might interact with the mm or VMAs, machinery that is not designed to deal with incomplete state. We specifically update the fork logic to defer khugepaged and ksm to the end of the operation and only to be invoked if no error arose, and disallow uffd from observing fork events should an error have occurred. This patch (of 2): Currently on fork we expose the virtual address space of a process to userland unconditionally if uffd is registered in VMAs, regardless of whether an error arose in the fork. This is performed in dup_userfaultfd_complete() which is invoked unconditionally, and performs two duties - invoking registered handlers for the UFFD_EVENT_FORK event via dup_fctx(), and clearing down userfaultfd_fork_ctx objects established in dup_userfaultfd(). This is problematic, because the virtual address space may not yet be correctly initialised if an error arose. The change in commit d24062914837 ("fork: use __mt_dup() to duplicate maple tree in dup_mmap()") makes this more pertinent as we may be in a state where entries in the maple tree are not yet consistent. We address this by, on fork error, ensuring that we roll back state that we would otherwise expect to clean up through the event being handled by userland and perform the memory freeing duty otherwise performed by dup_userfaultfd_complete(). We do this by implementing a new function, dup_userfaultfd_fail(), which performs the same loop, only decrementing reference counts. Note that we perform mmgrab() on the parent and child mm's, however userfaultfd_ctx_put() will mmdrop() this once the reference count drops to zero, so we will avoid memory leaks correctly here.

2024-11-08posix-cpu-timers: Clear TICK_DEP_BIT_POSIX_TIMER on cloneBenjamin Segall1-0/+2
[ Upstream commit b5413156bad91dc2995a5c4eab1b05e56914638a ] When cloning a new thread, its posix_cputimers are not inherited, and are cleared by posix_cputimers_init(). However, this does not clear the tick dependency it creates in tsk->tick_dep_mask, and the handler does not reach the code to clear the dependency if there were no timers to begin with. Thus if a thread has a cputimer running before clone/fork, all descendants will prevent nohz_full unless they create a cputimer of their own. Fix this by entirely clearing the tick_dep_mask in copy_process(). (There is currently no inherited state that needs a tick dependency) Process-wide timers do not have this problem because fork does not copy signal_struct as a baseline, it creates one from scratch.

2024-10-10close_range(): fix the logics in descriptor table trimmingAl Viro1-18/+14
commit 678379e1d4f7443b170939525d3312cfc37bf86b upstream. Cloning a descriptor table picks the size that would cover all currently opened files. That's fine for clone() and unshare(), but for close_range() there's an additional twist - we clone before we close, and it would be a shame to have close_range(3, ~0U, CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE) leave us with a huge descriptor table when we are not going to keep anything past stderr, just because some large file descriptor used to be open before our call has taken it out. Unfortunately, it had been dealt with in an inherently racy way - sane_fdtable_size() gets a "don't copy anything past that" argument (passed via unshare_fd() and dup_fd()), close_range() decides how much should be trimmed and passes that to unshare_fd(). The problem is, a range that used to extend to the end of descriptor table back when close_range() had looked at it might very well have stuff grown after it by the time dup_fd() has allocated a new files_struct and started to figure out the capacity of fdtable to be attached to that. That leads to interesting pathological cases; at the very least it's a QoI issue, since unshare(CLONE_FILES) is atomic in a sense that it takes a snapshot of descriptor table one might have observed at some point. Since CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE close_range() is supposed to be a combination of unshare(CLONE_FILES) with plain close_range(), ending up with a weird state that would never occur with unshare(2) is confusing, to put it mildly. It's not hard to get rid of - all it takes is passing both ends of the range down to sane_fdtable_size(). There we are under ->files_lock, so the race is trivially avoided. So we do the following: * switch close_files() from calling unshare_fd() to calling dup_fd(). * undo the calling convention change done to unshare_fd() in 60997c3d45d9 "close_range: add CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE" * introduce struct fd_range, pass a pointer to that to dup_fd() and sane_fdtable_size() instead of "trim everything past that point" they are currently getting. NULL means "we are not going to be punching any holes"; NR_OPEN_MAX is gone. * make sane_fdtable_size() use find_last_bit() instead of open-coding it; it's easier to follow that way. * while we are at it, have dup_fd() report errors by returning ERR_PTR(), no need to use a separate int *errorp argument.

2024-07-24sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlersJoel Granados1-1/+1
const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function pointers cannot be modified. This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script: ``` virtual patch @r1@ identifier ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; identifier func !~ "appldata_(timer|interval)_handler|sched_(rt|rr)_handler|rds_tcp_skbuf_handler|proc_sctp_do_(hmac_alg|rto_min|rto_max|udp_port|alpha_beta|auth|probe_interval)"; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); @r2@ identifier func, ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... } @r3@ identifier func; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r4@ identifier func, ctl; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r5@ identifier func, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); ``` * Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler, xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where adjusted. * The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified. This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the proc_handler migration.

These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps". - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to multisize THP splitting. - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits userspace to use all available huge page sizes. - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not very useful feature from slab fault injection. * tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (411 commits) mm/mglru: fix ineffective protection calculation mm/zswap: fix a white space issue mm/hugetlb: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when migrating hugetlb folio mm/hugetlb: fix possible recursive locking detected warning mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch mm/numa_balancing: teach mpol_to_str about the balancing mode mm: memcg1: convert charge move flags to unsigned long long alloc_tag: fix page_ext_get/page_ext_put sequence during page splitting lib: reuse page_ext_data() to obtain codetag_ref lib: add missing newline character in the warning message mm/mglru: fix overshooting shrinker memory mm/mglru: fix div-by-zero in vmpressure_calc_level() mm/kmemleak: replace strncpy() with strscpy() mm, page_alloc: put should_fail_alloc_page() back behing CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC mm, slab: put should_failslab() back behind CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB mm: ignore data-race in __swap_writepage hugetlbfs: ensure generic_hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() returns higher address than mmap_min_addr mm: shmem: rename mTHP shmem counters mm: swap_state: use folio_alloc_mpol() in __read_swap_cache_async() mm/migrate: putback split folios when numa hint migration fails ...

2024-07-10clone3: drop __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 macroArnd Bergmann1-3/+5
When clone3() was introduced, it was not obvious how each architecture deals with setting up the stack and keeping the register contents in a fork()-like system call, so this was left for the architecture maintainers to implement, with __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 defined by those that already implement it. Five years later, we still have a few architectures left that are missing clone3(), and the macro keeps getting in the way as it's fundamentally different from all the other __ARCH_WANT_SYS_* macros that are meant to provide backwards-compatibility with applications using older syscalls that are no longer provided by default. Address this by reversing the polarity of the macro, adding an __ARCH_BROKEN_SYS_CLONE3 macro to all architectures that don't already provide the syscall, and remove __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 from all the other ones.

For tests that need to allocate using vm_mmap() (e.g. usercopy and execve), provide the interface to have the allocation tracked by KUnit itself. This requires bringing up a placeholder userspace mm. This combines my earlier attempt at this with Mark Rutland's version[1]. Normally alloc_mm() and arch_pick_mmap_layout() aren't exported for modules, so export these only for KUnit testing.

2024-06-03fs: don't block i_writecount during execChristian Brauner1-23/+3
Back in 2021 we already discussed removing deny_write_access() for executables. Back then I was hesistant because I thought that this might cause issues in userspace. But even back then I had started taking some notes on what could potentially depend on this and I didn't come up with a lot so I've changed my mind and I would like to try this. Here are some of the notes that I took: (1) The deny_write_access() mechanism is causing really pointless issues such as [1]. If a thread in a thread-group opens a file writable, then writes some stuff, then closing the file descriptor and then calling execve() they can fail the execve() with ETXTBUSY because another thread in the thread-group could have concurrently called fork(). Multi-threaded libraries such as go suffer from this. (2) There are userspace attacks that rely on overwriting the binary of a running process. These attacks are _mitigated_ but _not at all prevented_ from ocurring by the deny_write_access() mechanism. I'll go over some details. The clearest example of such attacks was the attack against runC in CVE-2019-5736 (cf. [3]). An attack could compromise the runC host binary from inside a _privileged_ runC container. The malicious binary could then be used to take over the host. (It is crucial to note that this attack is _not_ possible with unprivileged containers. IOW, the setup here is already insecure.) The attack can be made when attaching to a running container or when starting a container running a specially crafted image. For example, when runC attaches to a container the attacker can trick it into executing itself. This could be done by replacing the target binary inside the container with a custom binary pointing back at the runC binary itself. As an example, if the target binary was /bin/bash, this could be replaced with an executable script specifying the interpreter path #!/proc/self/exe. As such when /bin/bash is executed inside the container, instead the target of /proc/self/exe will be executed. That magic link will point to the runc binary on the host. The attacker can then proceed to write to the target of /proc/self/exe to try and overwrite the runC binary on the host. However, this will not succeed because of deny_write_access(). Now, one might think that this would prevent the attack but it doesn't. To overcome this, the attacker has multiple ways: * Open a file descriptor to /proc/self/exe using the O_PATH flag and then proceed to reopen the binary as O_WRONLY through /proc/self/fd/<nr> and try to write to it in a busy loop from a separate process. Ultimately it will succeed when the runC binary exits. After this the runC binary is compromised and can be used to attack other containers or the host itself. * Use a malicious shared library annotating a function in there with the constructor attribute making the malicious function run as an initializor. The malicious library will then open /proc/self/exe for creating a new entry under /proc/self/fd/<nr>. It'll then call exec to a) force runC to exit and b) hand the file descriptor off to a program that then reopens /proc/self/fd/<nr> for writing (which is now possible because runC has exited) and overwriting that binary. To sum up: the deny_write_access() mechanism doesn't prevent such attacks in insecure setups. It just makes them minimally harder. That's all. The only way back then to prevent this is to create a temporary copy of the calling binary itself when it starts or attaches to containers. So what I did back then for LXC (and Aleksa for runC) was to create an anonymous, in-memory file using the memfd_create() system call and to copy itself into the temporary in-memory file, which is then sealed to prevent further modifications. This sealed, in-memory file copy is then executed instead of the original on-disk binary. Any compromising write operations from a privileged container to the host binary will then write to the temporary in-memory binary and not to the host binary on-disk, preserving the integrity of the host binary. Also as the temporary, in-memory binary is sealed, writes to this will also fail. The point is that deny_write_access() is uselss to prevent these attacks. (3) Denying write access to an inode because it's currently used in an exec path could easily be done on an LSM level. It might need an additional hook but that should be about it. (4) The MAP_DENYWRITE flag for mmap() has been deprecated a long time ago so while we do protect the main executable the bigger portion of the things you'd think need protecting such as the shared libraries aren't. IOW, we let anyone happily overwrite shared libraries. (5) We removed all remaining uses of VM_DENYWRITE in [2]. That means: (5.1) We removed the legacy uselib() protection for preventing overwriting of shared libraries. Nobody cared in 3 years. (5.2) We allow write access to the elf interpreter after exec completed treating it on a par with shared libraries. Yes, someone in userspace could potentially be relying on this. It's not completely out of the realm of possibility but let's find out if that's actually the case and not guess.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull pdfd updates from Christian Brauner: - Until now pidfds could only be created for thread-group leaders but not for threads. There was no technical reason for this. We simply had no users that needed support for this. Now we do have users that need support for this. This introduces a new PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open(). If that flag is set pidfd_open() creates a pidfd that refers to a specific thread. In addition, we now allow clone() and clone3() to be called with CLONE_PIDFD | CLONE_THREAD which wasn't possible before. A pidfd that refers to an individual thread differs from a pidfd that refers to a thread-group leader: (1) Pidfds are pollable. A task may poll a pidfd and get notified when the task has exited. For thread-group leader pidfds the polling task is woken if the thread-group is empty. In other words, if the thread-group leader task exits when there are still threads alive in its thread-group the polling task will not be woken when the thread-group leader exits but rather when the last thread in the thread-group exits. For thread-specific pidfds the polling task is woken if the thread exits. (2) Passing a thread-group leader pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will generate thread-group directed signals like kill(2) does. Passing a thread-specific pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will generate thread-specific signals like tgkill(2) does. The default scope of the signal is thus determined by the type of the pidfd. Since use-cases exist where the default scope of the provided pidfd needs to be overriden the following flags are added to pidfd_send_signal(): - PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD Send a thread-specific signal. - PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP Send a thread-group directed signal. - PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP Send a process-group directed signal. The scope change will only work if the struct pid is actually used for this scope. For example, in order to send a thread-group directed signal the provided pidfd must be used as a thread-group leader and similarly for PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP the struct pid must be used as a process group leader. - Move pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo filesystem. This will unblock further work that we weren't able to do simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes. Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows for statx on pidfds to become useful for the first time. They can now be compared by inode number which are unique for the system lifetime. Instead of stashing struct pid in file->private_data we can now stash it in inode->i_private. This makes it possible to introduce concepts that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed. A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. Another side-effect is that file->private_data is now freed up for per-file options for pidfds. Now, each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same inode. The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always deleted when the last pidfd is closed. We allocate a new inode and dentry for each struct pid and we reuse that inode and dentry for all pidfds that refer to the same struct pid. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs. The dentry and inode allocation mechanism is moved into generic infrastructure that is now shared between nsfs and pidfs. The path_from_stashed() helper must be provided with a stashing location, an inode number, a mount, and the private data that is supposed to be used and it will provide a path that can be passed to dentry_open(). The helper will try retrieve an existing dentry from the provided stashing location. If a valid dentry is found it is reused. If not a new one is allocated and we try to stash it in the provided location. If this fails we retry until we either find an existing dentry or the newly allocated dentry could be stashed. Subsequent openers of the same namespace or task are then able to reuse it. - Currently it is only possible to get notified when a task has exited, i.e., become a zombie and userspace gets notified with EPOLLIN. We now also support waiting until the task has been reaped, notifying userspace with EPOLLHUP. - Ensure that ESRCH is reported for getfd if a task is exiting instead of the confusing EBADF. - Various smaller cleanups to pidfd functions. * tag 'vfs-6.9.pidfd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (23 commits) libfs: improve path_from_stashed() libfs: add stashed_dentry_prune() libfs: improve path_from_stashed() helper pidfs: convert to path_from_stashed() helper nsfs: convert to path_from_stashed() helper libfs: add path_from_stashed() pidfd: add pidfs pidfd: move struct pidfd_fops pidfd: allow to override signal scope in pidfd_send_signal() pidfd: change pidfd_send_signal() to respect PIDFD_THREAD signal: fill in si_code in prepare_kill_siginfo() selftests: add ESRCH tests for pidfd_getfd() pidfd: getfd should always report ESRCH if a task is exiting pidfd: clone: allow CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_PIDFD together pidfd: exit: kill the no longer used thread_group_exited() pidfd: change do_notify_pidfd() to use __wake_up(poll_to_key(EPOLLIN)) pid: kill the obsolete PIDTYPE_PID code in transfer_pid() pidfd: kill the no longer needed do_notify_pidfd() in de_thread() pidfd_poll: report POLLHUP when pid_task() == NULL pidfd: implement PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open() ...
2024-03-01pidfd: add pidfsChristian Brauner1-11/+2
This moves pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo filesystem. This has been on my todo for quite a while as it will unblock further work that we weren't able to do simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes. Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows: * statx() on pidfds becomes useful for the first time. * pidfds can be compared simply via statx() and then comparing inode numbers. * pidfds have unique inode numbers for the system lifetime. * struct pid is now stashed in inode->i_private instead of file->private_data. This means it is now possible to introduce concepts that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed. A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. * file->private_data is freed up for per-file options for pidfds. * Each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same inode. Even if we were to move to anon_inode_create_getfile() which creates new inodes we'd still be associating the same struct pid with multiple different inodes. The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always deleted when the last pidfd is closed. We allocate a new inode for each struct pid and we reuse that inode for all pidfds. We use iget_locked() to find that inode again based on the inode number which isn't recycled. We allocate a new dentry for each pidfd that uses the same inode. That is similar to anonymous inodes which reuse the same inode for thousands of dentries. For pidfds we're talking way less than that. There usually won't be a lot of concurrent openers of the same struct pid. They can probably often be counted on two hands. I know that systemd does use separate pidfd for the same struct pid for various complex process tracking issues. So I think with that things actually become way simpler. Especially because we don't have to care about lookup. Dentries and inodes continue to be always deleted. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs which uses a similar stashing mechanism just for namespaces.
