Make sure that msg pointer is set back to error value in case of
MSG_COPY flag is set and desired message to copy wasn't found. This
garantees that msg is either a error pointer or a copy address.
Otherwise the last message in queue will be freed without unlinking from
the queue (which leads to memory corruption) and the dummy allocated

Pull userns fixes from Eric W Biederman:
"The bulk of the changes are fixing the worst consequences of the user
namespace design oversight in not considering what happens when one
namespace starts off as a clone of another namespace, as happens with
the mount namespace.
The rest of the changes are just plain bug fixes.
Many thanks to Andy Lutomirski for pointing out many of these issues."
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
userns: Restrict when proc and sysfs can be mounted
ipc: Restrict mounting the mqueue filesystem
vfs: Carefully propogate mounts across user namespaces
vfs: Add a mount flag to lock read only bind mounts
userns: Don't allow creation if the user is chrooted
yama: Better permission check for ptraceme
pid: Handle the exit of a multi-threaded init.
scm: Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN over the current pidns to spoof pids.
Only allow mounting the mqueue filesystem if the caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN
rights over the ipc namespace. The principle here is if you create
or have capabilities over it you can mount it, otherwise you get to live
with what other people have mounted.
This information is not particularly sensitive and mqueue essentially
only reports which posix messages queues exist. Still when creating a
restricted environment for an application to live any extra
information may be of use to someone with sufficient creativity. The
historical if imperfect way this information has been restricted has
been not to allow mounts and restricting this to ipc namespace
creators maintains the spirit of the historical restriction.

Convert to the much saner new idr interface.
The new interface doesn't directly translate to the way idr_pre_get()
was used around ipc_addid() as preloading disables preemption. From
my cursory reading, it seems like we should be able to do all
allocation from ipc_addid(), so I moved it there. Can you please
check whether this would be okay? If this is wrong and ipc_addid()
should be allowed to be called from non-sleepable context, I'd suggest
allocating id itself in the outer functions and later install the

Pull user namespace and namespace infrastructure changes from Eric W Biederman:
"This set of changes starts with a few small enhnacements to the user
namespace. reboot support, allowing more arbitrary mappings, and
support for mounting devpts, ramfs, tmpfs, and mqueuefs as just the
user namespace root.
I do my best to document that if you care about limiting your
unprivileged users that when you have the user namespace support
enabled you will need to enable memory control groups.
There is a minor bug fix to prevent overflowing the stack if someone
creates way too many user namespaces.
The bulk of the changes are a continuation of the kuid/kgid push down
work through the filesystems. These changes make using uids and gids
typesafe which ensures that these filesystems are safe to use when
multiple user namespaces are in use. The filesystems converted for
3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs. The
changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split
the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes.
XFS is the only filesystem that remains. I was hoping I could get
that in this release so that user namespace support would be enabled
with an allyesconfig or an allmodconfig but it looks like the xfs
changes need another couple of days before it they are ready."

do_mmap_pgoff() rounds up the desired size to the next PAGE_SIZE
multiple, however there was no equivalent code in mm_populate(), which
caused issues.
This could be fixed by introduced the same rounding in mm_populate(),
however I think it's preferable to make do_mmap_pgoff() return populate
as a size rather than as a boolean, so we don't have to duplicate the
size rounding logic in mm_populate().

When creating new mappings using the MAP_POPULATE / MAP_LOCKED flags (or
with MCL_FUTURE in effect), we want to populate the pages within the
newly created vmas. This may take a while as we may have to read pages
from disk, so ideally we want to do this outside of the write-locked
mmap_sem region.
This change introduces mm_populate(), which is used to defer populating
such mappings until after the mmap_sem write lock has been released.
This is implemented as a generalization of the former do_mlock_pages(),
which accomplished the same task but was using during mlock() /
mlockall().

- not enough memory for file structures
- operation is not allowed

This patch is required for checkpoint/restore in userspace.
c/r requires some way to get all pending IPC messages without deleting
them from the queue (checkpoint can fail and in this case tasks will be
resumed, so queue have to be valid).
To achive this, new operation flag MSG_COPY for sys_msgrcv() system call
was introduced. If this flag was specified, then mtype is interpreted as
number of the message to copy.
If MSG_COPY is set, then kernel will allocate dummy message with passed
size, and then use new copy_msg() helper function to copy desired message
(instead of unlinking it from the queue).
Notes:
1) Return -ENOSYS if MSG_COPY is specified, but
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is not set.

can be used to set desired id for next allocated IPC object. By default
it's equal to -1 and old behaviour is preserved. If this variable is
non-negative, then desired idr will be extracted from it and used as a
start value to search for free IDR slot.
Notes:
1) this patch doesn't guarantee that the new object will have desired

2) After a sucessful id allocation attempt, "next_id" will be set back

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.
Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."

...
Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> found a nasty little bug in
the permissions of setns. With unprivileged user namespaces it
became possible to create new namespaces without privilege.
However the setns calls were relaxed to only require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in
the user nameapce of the targed namespace.
Which made the following nasty sequence possible.
pid = clone(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS);
if (pid == 0) { /* child */
system("mount --bind /home/me/passwd /etc/passwd");
}
else if (pid != 0) { /* parent */
char path[PATH_MAX];
snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/%u/ns/mnt");
fd = open(path, O_RDONLY);
setns(fd, 0);
system("su -");
}
Prevent this possibility by requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN
in the current user namespace when joing all but the user namespace.

There was some desire in large applications using MAP_HUGETLB or
SHM_HUGETLB to use 1GB huge pages on some mappings, and stay with 2MB on
others. This is useful together with NUMA policy: use 2MB interleaving
on some mappings, but 1GB on local mappings.
This patch extends the IPC/SHM syscall interfaces slightly to allow
specifying the page size.
It borrows some upper bits in the existing flag arguments and allows
encoding the log of the desired page size in addition to the *_HUGETLB
flag. When 0 is specified the default size is used, this makes the
change fully compatible.
Extending the internal hugetlb code to handle this is straight forward.
Instead of a single mount it just keeps an array of them and selects the
right mount based on the specified page size. When no page size is
specified it uses the mount of the default page size.
The change is not visible in /proc/mounts because internal mounts don't
appear there. It also has very little overhead: the additional mounts
just consume a super block, but not more memory when not used.
I also exported the new flags to the user headers (they were previously
under __KERNEL__). Right now only symbols for x86 and some other
architecture for 1GB and 2MB are defined. The interface should already
work for all other architectures though. Only architectures that define
multiple hugetlb sizes actually need it (that is currently x86, tile,
powerpc). However tile and powerpc have user configurable hugetlb
sizes, so it's not easy to add defines. A program on those
architectures would need to query sysfs and use the appropiate log2.

Assign a unique proc inode to each namespace, and use that
inode number to ensure we only allocate at most one proc
inode for every namespace in proc.
A single proc inode per namespace allows userspace to test
to see if two processes are in the same namespace.
This has been a long requested feature and only blocked because
a naive implementation would put the id in a global space and
would ultimately require having a namespace for the names of
namespaces, making migration and certain virtualization tricks
impossible.
We still don't have per superblock inode numbers for proc, which
appears necessary for application unaware checkpoint/restart and
migrations (if the application is using namespace file descriptors)
but that is now allowd by the design if it becomes important.
I have preallocated the ipc and uts initial proc inode numbers so
their structures can be statically initialized.

This allows an implementation of unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) where

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

Currently, this gets set mostly by happenstance when we call into
audit_inode_child. While that might be a little more efficient, it seems
wrong. If the syscall ends up failing before audit_inode_child ever gets
called, then you'll have an audit_names record that shows the full path
but has the parent inode info attached.
Fix this by passing in a parent flag when we call audit_inode that gets
set to the value of LOOKUP_PARENT. We can then fix up the pathname for
the audit entry correctly from the get-go.
While we're at it, clean up the no-op macro for audit_inode in the
!CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL case.

Commit d6629859b3 ("ipc/mqueue: improve performance of send/recv") and
ce2d52cc ("ipc/mqueue: add rbtree node caching support") introduced an
rbtree of message priorities, and usage of rb_init_node() to initialize
the corresponding nodes. As it turns out, rb_init_node() is unnecessary
here, as the nodes are fully initialized on insertion by rb_link_node()
and the code doesn't access nodes that aren't inserted on the rbtree.
Removing the rb_init_node() calls as I removed that function during

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c
(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).
A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.
- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).
- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.
- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.
The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and
from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.
The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to
handle those places with simple trivial patches.
Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
for most of the code size growth in my git tree.
Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
"capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.
While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process
netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed
usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.
Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
linux-next.
After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

The msgsnd and msgrcv system calls use size_t to represent the size of the
message being transferred. POSIX states that values of msgsz greater than
SSIZE_MAX cause the result to be implementation-defined. On Linux, this
equates to returning -EINVAL if (long) msgsz < 0.
For compat tasks where !CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC and compat_size_t
is smaller than size_t, negative size values passed from userspace will be
interpreted as positive values by do_msg{rcv,snd} and will fail to exit
early with -EINVAL.
This patch changes the compat prototypes for msg{rcv,snd} so that the
message size is represented as a compat_ssize_t, which we cast to the
native ssize_t type for the core IPC code.

Commit 48b25c43e6 ("ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC
syscalls") added a new ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option for
architectures to select if their compat target requires the old IPC
syscall interface.
For architectures (such as AArch64) that do not require the internal
calling conventions provided by this option, but have a compat target
where the C library passes the IPC_64 flag explicitly,
compat_ipc_parse_version no longer strips out the flag before calling
the native system call implementation, resulting in unknown SHM/IPC
commands and -EINVAL being returned to userspace.
This patch separates the selection of the internal calling conventions
for the IPC syscalls from the version parsing, allowing architectures to
select __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION if they want to use version
parsing whilst retaining the newer syscall calling conventions.

Commit 17cf28afea ("mm/fs: remove truncate_range") removed the
truncate_range inode operation in favour of the fallocate file
operation.
When using SYSV IPC shared memory segments, calling madvise with the
MADV_REMOVE advice on an area of shared memory will attempt to invoke
the .fallocate function for the shm_file_operations, which is NULL and
therefore returns -EOPNOTSUPP to userspace. The previous behaviour
would inherit the inode_operations from the underlying tmpfs file and
invoke truncate_range there.
This patch restores the previous behaviour by wrapping the underlying
fallocate function in shm_fallocate, as we do for fsync.

When I wrote the first patch that added the rbtree support for message
queue insertion, it sped up the case where the queue was very full
drastically from the original code. It, however, slowed down the case
where the queue was empty (not drastically though).
This patch caches the last freed rbtree node struct so we can quickly
reuse it when we get a new message. This is the common path for any queue
that very frequently goes from 0 to 1 then back to 0 messages in queue.
Andrew Morton didn't like that we were doing a GFP_ATOMIC allocation in
msg_insert, so this patch attempts to speculatively allocate a new node
struct outside of the spin lock when we know we need it, but will still
fall back to a GFP_ATOMIC allocation if it has to.
Once I added the caching, the necessary various ret = ; spin_unlock
gyrations in mq_timedsend were getting pretty ugly, so this also slightly
refactors that function to streamline the flow of the code and the
function exit.
Finally, while working on getting performance back I made sure that all of
the node structs were always fully initialized when they were first used,
rendering the use of kzalloc unnecessary and a waste of CPU cycles.
The net result of all of this is:
1) We will avoid a GFP_ATOMIC allocation when possible, but fall back
on it when necessary.
2) We will speculatively allocate a node struct using GFP_KERNEL if our
cache is empty (and save the struct to our cache if it's still empty
after we have obtained the spin lock).
3) The performance of the common queue empty case has significantly
improved and is now much more in line with the older performance for
this case.
The performance changes are:
Old mqueue new mqueue new mqueue + caching
queue empty
send/recv 305/288ns 349/318ns 310/322ns
I don't think we'll ever be able to get the recv performance back, but
that's because the old recv performance was a direct result and
consequence of the old methods abysmal send performance. The recv path
simply must do more so that the send path does not incur such a penalty
under higher queue depths.
As it turns out, the new caching code also sped up the various queue full
cases relative to my last patch. That could be because of the difference
between the syscall path in 3.3.4-rc5 and 3.3.4-rc6, or because of the
change in code flow in the mq_timedsend routine. Regardless, I'll take
it. It wasn't huge, and I *would* say it was within the margin for error,
but after many repeated runs what I'm seeing is that the old numbers trend
slightly higher (about 10 to 20ns depending on which test is the one
running).

We already check the mq attr struct if it's passed in, but now that the
admin can set system wide defaults separate from maximums, it's actually
possible to set the defaults to something that would overflow. So, if
there is no attr struct passed in to the open call, check the default
values.
While we are at it, simplify mq_attr_ok() by making it return 0 or an
error condition, so that way if we add more tests to it later, we have the
option of what error should be returned instead of the calling location
having to pick a possibly inaccurate error code.

While working on the other parts of the mqueue stuff, I noticed that the
calculation for overflow in mq_attr_ok didn't actually match reality (this
is especially true since my last patch which changed how we account memory
slightly).
In particular, we used to test for overflow using:
msgs * msgsize + msgs * sizeof(struct msg_msg *)
That was never really correct because each message we allocate via
load_msg() is actually a struct msg_msg followed by the data for the
message (and if struct msg_msg + data exceeds PAGE_SIZE we end up
allocating struct msg_msgseg structs too, but accounting for them would
get really tedious, so let's ignore those...they're only a pointer in size
anyway). This patch updates the calculation to be more accurate in
regards to maximum possible memory consumption by the mqueue.

The existing implementation of the POSIX message queue send and recv
functions is, well, abysmal. Even worse than abysmal. I submitted a
patch to increase the maximum POSIX message queue limit to 65536 due to
customer needs, however, upon looking over the send/recv implementation, I
realized that my customer needs help with that too even if they don't know
it. The basic problem is that, given the fairly typical use case scenario
for a large queue of queueing lots of messages all at the same priority (I
verified with my customer that this is indeed what their app does), the
msg_insert routine is basically a frikkin' bubble sort. I mean, whoa,
that's *so* middle school.
OK, OK, to not slam the original author too much, I'm sure they didn't
envision a queue depth of 50,000+ messages. No one would think that
moving elements in an array, one at a time, and dereferencing each pointer
in that array to check priority of the message being pointed too, again
one at a time, for 50,000+ times would be good. So let's assume that, as
is typical, the users have found a way to break our code simply by using
it in a way we didn't envision. Fair enough.
"So, just how broken is it?", you ask. I wondered the same thing, so I
wrote an app to let me know. It's my next patch. It gave me some
interesting results. Here's what it tested:
Interference with other apps - In continuous mode, the app just sits there
and hits a message queue forever, while you go do something productive on
another terminal using other CPUs. You then measure how long it takes you
to do that something productive. Then you restart the app in fake
continuous mode, and it sits in a tight loop on a CPU while you repeat
your tests. The whole point of this is to keep one CPU tied up (so it
can't be used in your other work) but in one case tied up hitting the
mqueue code so we can see the effect of walking that 65,528 element array
one pointer at a time on the global CPU cache. If it's bad, then it will
slow down your app on the other CPUs just by polluting cache mercilessly.
In the fake case, it will be in a tight loop, but not polluting cache.
Testing the mqueue subsystem directly - Here we just run a number of tests
to see how the mqueue subsystem performs under different conditions. A
couple conditions are known to be worst case for the old system, and some
routines, so this tests all of them.
So, on to the results already:
Subsystem/Test Old New
Time to compile linux
kernel (make -j12 on a
6 core CPU)
Running mqueue test user 49m10.744s user 45m26.294s

Avg time to send/recv (in nanoseconds per message)
when queue empty 305/288 349/318
when queue full (65528 messages)
constant priority 526589/823 362/314
increasing priority 403105/916 495/445
decreasing priority 73420/594 482/409
random priority 280147/920 546/436
Time to fill/drain queue (65528 messages, in seconds)
constant priority 17.37/.12 .13/.12
increasing priority 4.14/.14 .21/.18
decreasing priority 12.93/.13 .21/.18
random priority 8.88/.16 .22/.17
So, I think the results speak for themselves. It's possible this
implementation could be improved by cacheing at least one priority level
in the node tree (that would bring the queue empty performance more in
line with the old implementation), but this works and is *so* much better
than what we had, especially for the common case of a single priority in
use, that further refinements can be in follow on patches.

Doug Ledford propsed to switch back it to static hard coded value.
However it also has a compatibility problem. Some applications might
started depend on the default value is tunable.
The solution is to separate default value from maximum value.

Commit b231cca438 ("message queues: increase range limits") changed the
maximum size of a message in a message queue from INT_MAX to 8192*128.
Unfortunately, we had customers that relied on a size much larger than
8192*128 on their production systems. After reviewing POSIX, we found
that it is silent on the maximum message size. We did find a couple other
areas in which it was not silent. Fix up the mqueue maximums so that the
customer's system can continue to work, and document both the POSIX and
real world requirements in ipc_namespace.h so that we don't have this
issue crop back up.
Also, commit 9cf18e1dd7 ("ipc: HARD_MSGMAX should be higher not lower
on 64bit") fiddled with HARD_MSGMAX without realizing that the number was
intentionally in place to limit the msg queue depth to one that was small
enough to kmalloc an array of pointers (hence why we divided 128k by
sizeof(long)). If we wish to meet POSIX requirements, we have no choice
but to change our allocation to a vmalloc instead (at least for the large
queue size case). With that, it's possible to increase our allowed
maximum to the POSIX requirements (or more if we choose).

Commit b231cca438 ("message queues: increase range limits") changed
how we create a queue that does not include an attr struct passed to
open so that it creates the queue with whatever the maximum values are.
However, if the admin has set the maximums to allow flexibility in
creating a queue (aka, both a large size and large queue are allowed,
but combined they create a queue too large for the RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE of
the user), then attempts to create a queue without an attr struct will
fail. Switch back to using acceptable defaults regardless of what the
maximums are.
Note: so far, we only know of a few applications that rely on this
behavior (specifically, set the maximums in /proc, then run the
application which calls mq_open() without passing in an attr struct, and
the application expects the newly created message queue to have the
maximum sizes that were set in /proc used on the mq_open() call, and all
of those applications that we know of are actually part of regression
test suites that were coded to do something like this:
for size in 4096 65536 $((1024 * 1024)) $((16 * 1024 * 1024)); do
echo $size > /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max
mq_open || echo "Error opening mq with size $size"
done
These test suites that depend on any behavior like this are broken. The
concept that programs should rely upon the system wide maximum in order
to get their desired results instead of simply using a attr struct to
specify what they want is fundamentally unfriendly programming practice
for any multi-tasking OS.
Fixing this will break those few apps that we know of (and those app
authors recognize the brokenness of their code and the need to fix it).
However, the following patch "mqueue: separate mqueue default value"
allows a workaround in the form of new knobs for the default msg queue
creation parameters for any software out there that we don't already
know about that might rely on this behavior at the moment.

Since commit b231cca438 ("message queues: increase range limits") on
Oct 18, 2008, calls to mq_open() that did not pass in an attribute
struct and expected to get default values for the size of the queue and
the max message size now get the system wide maximums instead of
hardwired defaults like they used to get.
This was uncovered when one of the earlier patches in this patch set
increased the default system wide maximums at the same time it increased
the hard ceiling on the system wide maximums (a customer specifically
needed the hard ceiling brought back up, the new ceiling that commit
b231cca438 introduced was too low for their production systems). By
increasing the default maximums and not realising they were tied to any
attempt to create a message queue without an attribute struct, I had
inadvertently made it such that all message queue creation attempts
without an attribute struct were failing because the new default
maximums would create a queue that exceeded the default rlimit for
message queue bytes.
As a result, the system wide defaults were brought back down to their
previous levels, and the system wide ceilings on the maximums were
raised to meet the customer's needs. However, the fact that the no
attribute struct behavior of mq_open() could be broken by changing the
system wide maximums for message queues was seen as fundamentally broken
itself. So we hardwired the no attribute case back like it used to be.
But, then we realized that on the very off chance that some piece of
software in the wild depended on that behavior, we could work around
that issue by adding two new knobs to /proc that allowed setting the
defaults for message queues created without an attr struct separately
from the system wide maximums.
What is not an option IMO is to leave the current behavior in place. No
piece of software should ever rely on setting the system wide maximums
in order to get a desired message queue. Such a reliance would be so
fundamentally multitasking OS unfriendly as to not really be tolerable.
Fortunately, we don't know of any software in the wild that uses this
except for a regression test program that caught the issue in the first
place. If there is though, we have made accommodations with the two new
/proc knobs (and that's all the accommodations such fundamentally broken
software can be allowed)..
This patch:
The various defines for minimums and maximums of the sysctl controllable
mqueue values are scattered amongst different files and named
inconsistently. Move them all into ipc_namespace.h and make them have
consistent names. Additionally, make the number of queues per namespace
also have a minimum and maximum and use the same sysctl function as the
other two settable variables.

When using the "compat" APIs, architectures will generally want to
be able to make direct syscalls to msgsnd(), shmctl(), etc., and
in the kernel we would want them to be handled directly by
compat_sys_xxx() functions, as is true for other compat syscalls.
However, for historical reasons, several of the existing compat IPC
syscalls do not do this. semctl() expects a pointer to the fourth
argument, instead of the fourth argument itself. msgsnd(), msgrcv()
and shmat() expect arguments in different order.
This change adds an ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option that can be
set to preserve this behavior for ports that use it (x86, sparc, powerpc,
s390, and mips). No actual semantics are changed for those architectures,
and there is only a minimal amount of code refactoring in ipc/compat.c.
Newer architectures like tile (and perhaps future architectures such
as arm64 and unicore64) should not select this option, and thus can
avoid having any IPC-specific code at all in their architecture-specific
compat layer. In the same vein, if this option is not selected, IPC_64
mode is assumed, since that's what the <asm-generic> headers expect.
The workaround code in "tile" for msgsnd() and msgrcv() is removed
with this change; it also fixes the bug that shmat() and semctl() were
not being properly handled.

Commit cc39c6a9bb ("mm: account skipped entries to avoid looping in
find_get_pages") correctly fixed an infinite loop; but left a problem
that find_get_pages() on shmem would return 0 (appearing to callers to
mean end of tree) when it meets a run of nr_pages swap entries.
The only uses of find_get_pages() on shmem are via pagevec_lookup(),
called from invalidate_mapping_pages(), and from shmctl SHM_UNLOCK's
scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(). The first is already commented, and
not worth worrying about; but the second can leave pages on the
Unevictable list after an unusual sequence of swapping and locking.
Fix that by using shmem_find_get_pages_and_swap() (then ignoring the
swap) instead of pagevec_lookup().
But I don't want to contaminate vmscan.c with shmem internals, nor
shmem.c with LRU locking. So move scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() into
shmem.c, renaming it shmem_unlock_mapping(); and rename
check_move_unevictable_page() to check_move_unevictable_pages(), looping
down an array of pages, oftentimes under the same lock.
Leave out the "rotate unevictable list" block: that's a leftover from
when this was used for /proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages, whose flawed
handling involved looking at pages at tail of LRU.
Was there significance to the sequence first ClearPageUnevictable, then
test page_evictable, then SetPageUnevictable here? I think not, we're
under LRU lock, and have no barriers between those.

scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() is used to make SysV SHM_LOCKed pages
evictable again once the shared memory is unlocked. It does this with
pagevec_lookup()s across the whole object (which might occupy most of
memory), and takes 300ms to unlock 7GB here. A cond_resched() every
PAGEVEC_SIZE pages would be good.
However, KOSAKI-san points out that this is called under shmem.c's
info->lock, and it's also under shm.c's shm_lock(), both spinlocks.
There is no strong reason for that: we need to take these pages off the
unevictable list soonish, but those locks are not required for it.
So move the call to scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() from shmem.c's
unlock handling up to shm.c's unlock handling. Remove the recently
added barrier, not needed now we have spin_unlock() before the scan.
Use get_file(), with subsequent fput(), to make sure we have a reference
to mapping throughout scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(): that's something
that was previously guaranteed by the shm_lock().
Remove shmctl's lru_add_drain_all(): we don't fault in pages at SHM_LOCK
time, and we lazily discover them to be Unevictable later, so it serves
no purpose for SHM_LOCK; and serves no purpose for SHM_UNLOCK, since
pages still on pagevec are not marked Unevictable.
The original code avoided redundant rescans by checking VM_LOCKED flag
at its level: now avoid them by checking shp's SHM_LOCKED.
The original code called scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() on a locked
area at shm_destroy() time: perhaps we once had accounting cross-checks
which required that, but not now, so skip the overhead and just let
inode eviction deal with them.
Put check_move_unevictable_page() and scan_mapping_unevictable_pages()
under CONFIG_SHMEM (with stub for the TINY case when ramfs is used),
more as comment than to save space; comment them used for SHM_UNLOCK.

ipc/mqueue.c: for __SI_MESQ, convert the uid being sent to recipient's
user namespace. (new, thanks Oleg)
__send_signal: convert current's uid to the recipient's user namespace
for any siginfo which is not SI_FROMKERNEL (patch from Oleg, thanks
again :)
do_notify_parent and do_notify_parent_cldstop: map task's uid to parent's
user namespace
ptrace_signal maps parent's uid into current's user namespace before
including in signal to current. IIUC Oleg has argued that this shouldn't
matter as the debugger will play with it, but it seems like not converting
the value currently being set is misleading.
Changelog:
Sep 20: Inspired by Oleg's suggestion, define map_cred_ns() helper to
simplify callers and help make clear what we are translating
(which uid into which namespace). Passing the target task would
make callers even easier to read, but we pass in user_ns because
current_user_ns() != task_cred_xxx(current, user_ns).
Sep 20: As recommended by Oleg, also put task_pid_vnr() under rcu_read_lock
in ptrace_signal().
Sep 23: In send_signal(), detect when (user) signal is coming from an
ancestor or unrelated user namespace. Pass that on to __send_signal,
which sets si_uid to 0 or overflowuid if needed.
Oct 12: Base on Oleg's fixup_uid() patch. On top of that, handle all
SI_FROMKERNEL cases at callers, because we can't assume sender is
current in those cases.

sys_semtimedop() may return -EIDRM although the semaphore operation
completed successfully:
thread 1: thread 2:
semtimedop(), sleeps
semop():
* acquires sem_lock()
semtimedop() woken up due to timeout
sem_lock() loops
* notices that thread 2 could be completed.
* performs the operations that thread 2 is sleeping on.
* marks the semaphore operation as IN_WAKEUP
* drops sem_lock(), does wakeup, sets return code to 0
* thread delayed due to interrupt, whatever
* returns to user space
* thread still delayed
semctl(IPC_RMID)
* acquires sem_lock()
* ipc_rmid(), ipcp->deleted=1
* drops sem_lock()
* thread finally continues - but seem_lock()
now fails due to ipcp->deleted == 1
* returns -EIDRM instead of 0
The fix is trivial: Always use the return code in queue.status.
In real world, the race probably doesn't matter:
If the semaphore array is destroyed, the app is probably not interested
if the last operation succeeded or was already cancelled.

This isn't really critical any more, since other patches (commit
298507d4d2: "shm: optimize exit_shm()") have caused us to not actually
need to touch the rw_mutex unless there are actual shm segments
associated with the namespace, but we really should do tne shm_init_ns()
earlier than we do now.
This, together with commit 288d5abec8 ("Boot up with usermodehelper

namespace data structure before we run any tasks.

We may optimistically check .in_use == 0 without holding the rw_mutex:
it's the common case, and if it's zero, there certainly won't be any
segments associated with us.
After taking the lock, the idr_for_each() will do the right thing, so we
could now drop the re-check inside the lock without any real cost. But
it won't hurt.

shm_lock() does a lookup of shm segment in shm_ids(ns).ipcs_idr, which
is redundant as we already know shmid_kernel address. An actual lock is
also not required for reads until we really want to destroy the segment.
exit_shm() and shm_destroy_orphaned() may avoid the loop by checking
whether there is at least one segment in current ipc_namespace.
The check of nsproxy and ipc_ns against NULL is redundant as exit_shm()
is called from do_exit() before the call to exit_notify(), so the
dereferencing current->nsproxy->ipc_ns is guaranteed to be safe.

shm_try_destroy_orphaned() and shm_try_destroy_current() didn't handle
the case of separate PID namespaces, but a single IPC namespace. If
there are tasks with the same PID values using the same shmem object,
the wrong destroy decision could be reached.
On shm segment creation store the pointer to the creator task in
shmid_kernel->shm_creator field and zero it on task exit. Then
use the ->shm_creator insread of shm_cprid in both functions. As
shmid_kernel object is already locked at this stage, no additional
locking is needed.

Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl. If set to 1, all shared
memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to
use IPC_RMID.
The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and
call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus
consuming memory not counted via rlimits.
With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for
one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding
the shared memory.
It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would
stop working. So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses
"orphaned" memory. Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability
reasons.
The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

If a semaphore array is removed and in parallel a sleeping task is woken
up (signal or timeout, does not matter), then the woken up task does not
wait until wake_up_sem_queue_do() is completed. This will cause crashes,
because wake_up_sem_queue_do() will read from a stale pointer.
The fix is simple: Regardless of anything, always call get_queue_result().
This function waits until wake_up_sem_queue_do() has finished it's task.

the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

The kernel currently provides no functionality to analyze the RSS and swap
space usage of each individual sysvipc shared memory segment.
This patch adds this info for each existing shm segment by extending the
output of /proc/sysvipc/shm by two columns for RSS and swap.
Since shmctl(SHM_INFO) already provides a similiar calculation (it
currently sums up all RSS/swap info for all segments), I did split out a
static function which is now used by the /proc/sysvipc/shm output and
shmctl(SHM_INFO).
SAP products (esp. the SAP Netweaver ABAP Kernel) uses lots of big shared
memory segments (we often have Linux systems with >= 16GB shm usage).
Sometimes we get customer reports about "slow" system responses and while
looking into their configurations we often find massive swapping activity
on the system. With this patch it's now easy to see from the command line
if and which shm segments gets swapped out (and how much) and can more
easily give recommendations for system tuning. Without the patch it's
currently not possible to do such shm analysis at all.
Also...
Add some spaces in front of the "size" field for 64bit kernels to get the
columns correct if you cat the contents of the file. In
sysvipc_shm_proc_show() the kernel prints the size value in "SPEC_SIZE"
format, which is defined like this:
#if BITS_PER_LONG <= 32
#define SIZE_SPEC "%10lu"
#else
#define SIZE_SPEC "%21lu"
#endif
So, if the header is not adjusted, the columns are not correctly aligned.
I actually tested this on 32- and 64-bit and it seems correct now.

Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves. For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

* 'llseek' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/bkl:

lkdtm: use generic_file_llseek in debugfs
net/wireless: use generic_file_llseek in debugfs
drm: use noop_llseek
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

The semctl syscall has several code paths that lead to the leakage of
uninitialized kernel stack memory (namely the IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO,
IPC_STAT, and SEM_STAT commands) during the use of the older, obsolete
version of the semid_ds struct.
The copy_semid_to_user() function declares a semid_ds struct on the stack
and copies it back to the user without initializing or zeroing the
"sem_base", "sem_pending", "sem_pending_last", and "undo" pointers,
allowing the leakage of 16 bytes of kernel stack memory.
The code is still reachable on 32-bit systems - when calling semctl()
newer glibc's automatically OR the IPC command with the IPC_64 flag, but
invoking the syscall directly allows users to use the older versions of
the struct.

The last change to improve the scalability moved the actual wake-up out of
the section that is protected by spin_lock(sma->sem_perm.lock).
This means that IN_WAKEUP can be in queue.status even when the spinlock is
acquired by the current task. Thus the same loop that is performed when
queue.status is read without the spinlock acquired must be performed when
the spinlock is acquired.

ipc/sem.c begins with a 15 year old description about bugs in the initial
implementation in Linux-1.0. The patch replaces that with a top level
description of the current code.
A TODO could be derived from this text:
The opengroup man page for semop() does not mandate FIFO. Thus there is
no need for a semaphore array list of pending operations.
If
- this list is removed
- the per-semaphore array spinlock is removed (possible if there is no
list to protect)
- sem_otime is moved into the semaphores and calculated on demand during
semctl()
then the array would be read-mostly - which would significantly improve
scaling for applications that use semaphore arrays with lots of entries.
The price would be expensive semctl() calls:
for(i=0;i<sma->sem_nsems;i++) spin_lock(sma->sem_lock);
<do stuff>
for(i=0;i<sma->sem_nsems;i++) spin_unlock(sma->sem_lock);
I'm not sure if the complexity is worth the effort, thus here is the
documentation of the current behavior first.

The wake-up part of semtimedop() consists out of two steps:
- the right tasks must be identified.
- they must be woken up.
Right now, both steps run while the array spinlock is held. This patch
reorders the code and moves the actual wake_up_process() behind the point
where the spinlock is dropped.
The code also moves setting sem->sem_otime to one place: It does not make
sense to set the last modify time multiple times.

The following series of patches tries to fix the spinlock contention
reported by Chris Mason - his benchmark exposes problems of the current
code:
- In the worst case, the algorithm used by update_queue() is O(N^2).
Bulk wake-up calls can enter this worst case. The patch series fix
that.
Note that the benchmark app doesn't expose the problem, it just should
be fixed: Real world apps might do the wake-ups in another order than
perfect FIFO.
- The part of the code that runs within the semaphore array spinlock is
significantly larger than necessary.
The patch series fixes that. This change is responsible for the main
improvement.
- The cacheline with the spinlock is also used for a variable that is
read in the hot path (sem_base) and for a variable that is unnecessarily
written to multiple times (sem_otime). The last step of the series
cacheline-aligns the spinlock.
This patch:
The SysV semaphore code allows to perform multiple operations on all
semaphores in the array as atomic operations. After a modification,
update_queue() checks which of the waiting tasks can complete.
The algorithm that is used to identify the tasks is O(N^2) in the worst
case. For some cases, it is simple to avoid the O(N^2).
The patch adds a detection logic for some cases, especially for the case
of an array where all sleeping tasks are single sembuf operations and a
multi-sembuf operation is used to wake up multiple tasks.
A big database application uses that approach.
The patch fixes wakeup due to semctl(,,SETALL,) - the initial version of
the patch breaks that.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

I chased down a fail on ppc64 on 2.6.34-rc2 where an application that
uses shared memory was getting a SEGV.
Commit baed7fc9b5 ("Add generic sys_ipc
wrapper") changed the second argument from an unsigned long to an int.
When we call shmget the system call wrappers for sys_ipc will sign
extend second (ie the size) which truncates it. It took a while to
track down because the call succeeds and strace shows the untruncated
size :)
The patch below changes second from an int to an unsigned long which
fixes shmget on ppc64 (and I assume s390, sparc64 and mips64).

I assume the function prototypes for the other IPC methods would cause us
to sign or zero extend second where appropriate (avoiding any security
issues). Come to think of it, the syscall wrappers for each method should do
that for us as well.

Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for
s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.
There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.
Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

If multiple simple decrements on the same semaphore are pending, then the
current code scans all decrement operations, even if the semaphore value
is already 0.
The patch optimizes that: if the semaphore value is 0, then there is no
need to scan the q->alter entries.
Note that this is a common case: It happens if 100 decrements by one are
pending and now an increment by one increases the semaphore value from 0
to 1. Without this patch, all 100 entries are scanned. With the patch,
only one entry is scanned, then woken up. Then the new rule triggers and
the scanning is aborted, without looking at the remaining 99 tasks.
With this patch, single sop increment/decrement by 1 are now O(1).

The strange sysv semaphore wakeup scheme has a kind of busy-wait lock
involved, which could deadlock if preemption is enabled during the "lock".
It is an implementation detail (due to a spinlock being held) that this is
actually the case. However if "spinlocks" are made preemptible, or if the
sem lock is changed to a sleeping lock for example, then the wakeup would
become buggy. So this might be a bugfix for -rt kernels.
Imagine waker being preempted by wakee and never clearing IN_WAKEUP -- if
wakee has higher RT priority then there is a priority inversion deadlock.
Even if there is not a priority inversion to cause a deadlock, then there
is still time wasted spinning.

Around a month ago, there was some discussion about an improvement of the
sysv sem algorithm: Most (at least: some important) users only use simple
semaphore operations, therefore it's worthwile to optimize this use case.
This patch:
Move last looked up sem_undo struct to the head of the task's undo list.
Attempt to move common entries to the front of the list so search time is
reduced. This reduces lookup_undo on oprofile of problematic SAP workload
by 30% (see patch 4 for a description of SAP workload).

We have apparently had a memory leak since
7ca7e564e0 "ipc: store ipcs into IDRs" in
2007. The idr of which 3 exist for each ipc namespace is never freed.
This patch simply frees them when the ipcns is freed. I don't believe any
idr_remove() are done from rcu (and could therefore be delayed until after
this idr_destroy()), so the patch should be safe. Some quick testing
showed no harm, and the memory leak fixed.

This patchset adds a flag to mmap that allows the user to request that an
anonymous mapping be backed with huge pages. This mapping will borrow
functionality from the huge page shm code to create a file on the kernel
internal mount and use it to approximate an anonymous mapping. The
MAP_HUGETLB flag is a modifier to MAP_ANONYMOUS and will not work without
both flags being preset.
A new flag is necessary because there is no other way to hook into huge
pages without creating a file on a hugetlbfs mount which wouldn't be
MAP_ANONYMOUS.
To userspace, this mapping will behave just like an anonymous mapping
because the file is not accessible outside of the kernel.
This patchset is meant to simplify the programming model. Presently there
is a large chunk of boiler platecode, contained in libhugetlbfs, required
to create private, hugepage backed mappings. This patch set would allow
use of hugepages without linking to libhugetlbfs or having hugetblfs
mounted.
Unification of the VM code would provide these same benefits, but it has
been resisted each time that it has been suggested for several reasons: it
would break PAGE_SIZE assumptions across the kernel, it makes page-table
abstractions really expensive, and it does not provide any benefit on
architectures that do not support huge pages, incurring fast path
penalties without providing any benefit on these architectures.
This patch:
There are two means of creating mappings backed by huge pages:
1. mmap() a file created on hugetlbfs
2. Use shm which creates a file on an internal mount which essentially
maps it MAP_SHARED
The internal mount is only used for shared mappings but there is very
little that stops it being used for private mappings. This patch extends
hugetlbfs_file_setup() to deal with the creation of files that will be
mapped MAP_PRIVATE on the internal hugetlbfs mount. This extended API is
used in a subsequent patch to implement the MAP_HUGETLB mmap() flag.

2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec194 removed
user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the
user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy().
In detail:
Assume that can_do_hugetlb_shm() returns true and hence user_shm_lock()
is not called in hugetlb_file_setup(). However, user_shm_unlock() is
called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following
atomic_dec_and_lock(&up->__count) in free_uid() is executed and if
up->__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled.
Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set.
However, the ref counter up->__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and
the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live
references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of
shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set.
Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the
time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time
of hugetlb_file_setup(). And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path,
which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.

Implement multiple mounts of the mqueue file system, and link it to usage
of CLONE_NEWIPC.
Each ipc ns has a corresponding mqueuefs superblock. When a user does
clone(CLONE_NEWIPC) or unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), the unshare will cause an
internal mount of a new mqueuefs sb linked to the new ipc ns.
When a user does 'mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue', he mounts the
mqueuefs superblock.
Posix message queues can be worked with both through the mq_* system calls
(see mq_overview(7)), and through the VFS through the mqueue mount. Any
usage of mq_open() and friends will work with the acting task's ipc
namespace. Any actions through the VFS will work with the mqueuefs in
which the file was created. So if a user doesn't remount mqueuefs after
unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), mq_open("/ab") will not be reflected in "ls
/dev/mqueue".
If task a mounts mqueue for ipc_ns:1, then clones task b with a new ipcns,
ipcns:2, and then task a is the last task in ipc_ns:1 to exit, then (1)
ipc_ns:1 will be freed, (2) it's superblock will live on until task b
umounts the corresponding mqueuefs, and vfs actions will continue to
succeed, but (3) sb->s_fs_info will be NULL for the sb corresponding to
the deceased ipc_ns:1.
To make this happen, we must protect the ipc reference count when
a) a task exits and drops its ipcns->count, since it might be dropping
it to 0 and freeing the ipcns
b) a task accesses the ipcns through its mqueuefs interface, since it
bumps the ipcns refcount and might race with the last task in the ipcns
exiting.
So the kref is changed to an atomic_t so we can use
atomic_dec_and_lock(&ns->count,mq_lock), and every access to the ipcns
through ns = mqueuefs_sb->s_fs_info is protected by the same lock.

When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous
shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that
should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve
with VM_NORESERVE.
Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages
due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and
private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated
during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the
future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed.
As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page
size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would
double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may
be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs
at the risk of getting killed later.
With commit fc8744adc8, VM_NORESERVE and
VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This
breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an
OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters
otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the
core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.
