Merge tag 'threads-v5.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull thread management updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Sargun Dhillon over the last cycle has worked on the pidfd_getfd()
  syscall.

  This syscall allows for the retrieval of file descriptors of a process
  based on its pidfd. A task needs to have ptrace_may_access()
  permissions with PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_REALCREDS (suggested by Oleg and
  Andy) on the target.

  One of the main use-cases is in combination with seccomp's user
  notification feature. As a reminder, seccomp's user notification
  feature was made available in v5.0. It allows a task to retrieve a
  file descriptor for its seccomp filter. The file descriptor is usually
  handed of to a more privileged supervising process. The supervisor can
  then listen for syscall events caught by the seccomp filter of the
  supervisee and perform actions in lieu of the supervisee, usually
  emulating syscalls. pidfd_getfd() is needed to expand its uses.

  There are currently two major users that wait on pidfd_getfd() and one
  future user:

   - Netflix, Sargun said, is working on a service mesh where users
     should be able to connect to a dns-based VIP. When a user connects
     to e.g. 1.2.3.4:80 that runs e.g. service "foo" they will be
     redirected to an envoy process. This service mesh uses seccomp user
     notifications and pidfd to intercept all connect calls and instead
     of connecting them to 1.2.3.4:80 connects them to e.g.
     127.0.0.1:8080.

   - LXD uses the seccomp notifier heavily to intercept and emulate
     mknod() and mount() syscalls for unprivileged containers/processes.
     With pidfd_getfd() more uses-cases e.g. bridging socket connections
     will be possible.

   - The patchset has also seen some interest from the browser corner.
     Right now, Firefox is using a SECCOMP_RET_TRAP sandbox managed by a
     broker process. In the future glibc will start blocking all signals
     during dlopen() rendering this type of sandbox impossible. Hence,
     in the future Firefox will switch to a seccomp-user-nofication
     based sandbox which also makes use of file descriptor retrieval.
     The thread for this can be found at
     https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-12/msg00079.html

  With pidfd_getfd() it is e.g. possible to bridge socket connections
  for the supervisee (binding to a privileged port) and taking actions
  on file descriptors on behalf of the supervisee in general.

  Sargun's first version was using an ioctl on pidfds but various people
  pushed for it to be a proper syscall which he duely implemented as
  well over various review cycles. Selftests are of course included.
  I've also added instructions how to deal with merge conflicts below.

  There's also a small fix coming from the kernel mentee project to
  correctly annotate struct sighand_struct with __rcu to fix various
  sparse warnings. We've received a few more such fixes and even though
  they are mostly trivial I've decided to postpone them until after -rc1
  since they came in rather late and I don't want to risk introducing
  build warnings.

  Finally, there's a new prctl() command PR_{G,S}ET_IO_FLUSHER which is
  needed to avoid allocation recursions triggerable by storage drivers
  that have userspace parts that run in the IO path (e.g. dm-multipath,
  iscsi, etc). These allocation recursions deadlock the device.

  The new prctl() allows such privileged userspace components to avoid
  allocation recursions by setting the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO and
  PF_LESS_THROTTLE flags. The patch carries the necessary acks from the
  relevant maintainers and is routed here as part of prctl()
  thread-management."

vfs, fdtable: Add fget_task helper
This introduces a function which can be used to fetch a file, given an
arbitrary task. As long as the user holds a reference (refcnt) to the
task_struct it is safe to call, and will either return NULL on failure,
or a pointer to the file, with a refcnt.

This patch is based on Oleg Nesterov's (cf. [1]) patch from September
2018.

74f1a29910 Revert "fs: remove ksys_dup()"
This reverts commit 8243186f0c ("fs: remove ksys_dup()") and the
subsequent fix for it in commit 2d3145f8d2 ("early init: fix error
handling when opening /dev/console").

Trying to use filp_open() and f_dupfd() instead of pseudo-syscalls
caused more trouble than what is worth it: it requires accessing vfs
internals and it turns out there were other bugs in it too.

In particular, the file reference counting was wrong - because unlike
the original "open+2*dup" sequence it used "filp_open+3*f_dupfd" and
thus had an extra leaked file reference.

That in turn then caused odd problems with Androidx86 long after boot
becaue of how the extra reference to the console kept the session active
even after all file descriptors had been closed.

2be7d348fe Revert "vfs: properly and reliably lock f_pos in fdget_pos()"
This reverts commit 0be0ee7181.

I was hoping it would be benign to switch over entirely to FMODE_STREAM,
and we'd have just a couple of small fixups we'd need, but it looks like
we're not quite there yet.

While it worked fine on both my desktop and laptop, they are fairly
similar in other respects, and run mostly the same loads.  Kenneth
Crudup reports that it seems to break both his vmware installation and
the KDE upower service.  In both cases apparently leading to timeouts
due to waitinmg for the f_pos lock.

There are a number of character devices in particular that definitely
want stream-like behavior, but that currently don't get marked as
streams, and as a result get the exclusion between concurrent
read()/write() on the same file descriptor.  Which doesn't work well for
them.

The most obvious example if this is /dev/console and /dev/tty, which use
console_fops and tty_fops respectively (and ptmx_fops for the pty master
side).  It may be that it's just this that causes problems, but we
clearly weren't ready yet.

Because there's a number of other likely common cases that don't have
llseek implementations and would seem to act as stream devices:

  /dev/fuse		(fuse_dev_operations)
  /dev/mcelog		(mce_chrdev_ops)
  /dev/mei0		(mei_fops)
  /dev/net/tun		(tun_fops)
  /dev/nvme0		(nvme_dev_fops)
  /dev/tpm0		(tpm_fops)
  /proc/self/ns/mnt	(ns_file_operations)
  /dev/snd/pcm*		(snd_pcm_f_ops[])

and while some of these could be trivially automatically detected by the
vfs layer when the character device is opened by just noticing that they
have no read or write operations either, it often isn't that obvious.

Some character devices most definitely do use the file position, even if
they don't allow seeking: the firmware update code, for example, uses
simple_read_from_buffer() that does use f_pos, but doesn't allow seeking
back and forth.

We'll revisit this when there's a better way to detect the problem and
fix it (possibly with a coccinelle script to do more of the FMODE_STREAM
annotations).

0be0ee7181 vfs: properly and reliably lock f_pos in fdget_pos()
fdget_pos() is used by file operations that will read and update f_pos:
things like "read()", "write()" and "lseek()" (but not, for example,
"pread()/pwrite" that get their file positions elsewhere).

However, it had two separate escape clauses for this, because not
everybody wants or needs serialization of the file position.

The first and most obvious case is the "file descriptor doesn't have a
position at all", ie a stream-like file.  Except we didn't actually use
FMODE_STREAM, but instead used FMODE_ATOMIC_POS.  The reason for that
was that FMODE_STREAM didn't exist back in the days, but also that we
didn't want to mark all the special cases, so we only marked the ones
that _required_ position atomicity according to POSIX - regular files
and directories.

The case one was intentionally lazy, but now that we _do_ have
FMODE_STREAM we could and should just use it.  With the change to use
FMODE_STREAM, there are no remaining uses for FMODE_ATOMIC_POS, and all
the code to set it is deleted.

Any cases where we don't want the serialization because the driver (or
subsystem) doesn't use the file position should just be updated to do
"stream_open()".  We've done that for all the obvious and common
situations, we may need a few more.  Quoting Kirill Smelkov in the
original FMODE_STREAM thread (see link below for full email):

 "And I appreciate if people could help at least somehow with "getting
  rid of mixed case entirely" (i.e. always lock f_pos_lock on
  !FMODE_STREAM), because this transition starts to diverge from my
  particular use-case too far. To me it makes sense to do that
  transition as follows:

   - convert nonseekable_open -> stream_open via stream_open.cocci;
   - audit other nonseekable_open calls and convert left users that
     truly don't depend on position to stream_open;
   - extend stream_open.cocci to analyze alloc_file_pseudo as well (this
     will cover pipes and sockets), or maybe convert pipes and sockets
     to FMODE_STREAM manually;
   - extend stream_open.cocci to analyze file_operations that use
     no_llseek or noop_llseek, but do not use nonseekable_open or
     alloc_file_pseudo. This might find files that have stream semantic
     but are opened differently;
   - extend stream_open.cocci to analyze file_operations whose
     .read/.write do not use ppos at all (independently of how file was
     opened);
   - ...
   - after that remove FMODE_ATOMIC_POS and always take f_pos_lock if
     !FMODE_STREAM;
   - gather bug reports for deadlocked read/write and convert missed
     cases to FMODE_STREAM, probably extending stream_open.cocci along
     the road to catch similar cases

  i.e. always take f_pos_lock unless a file is explicitly marked as
  being stream, and try to find and cover all files that are streams"

We have not done the "extend stream_open.cocci to analyze
alloc_file_pseudo" as well, but the previous commit did manually handle
the case of pipes and sockets.

The other case where we can avoid locking f_pos is the "this file
descriptor only has a single user and it is us, and thus there is no
need to lock it".

The second test was correct, although a bit subtle and worth just
re-iterating here.  There are two kinds of other sources of references
to the same file descriptor: file descriptors that have been explicitly
shared across fork() or with dup(), and file tables having elevated
reference counts due to threading (or explicit file sharing with
clone()).

The first case would have incremented the file count explicitly, and in
the second case the previous __fdget() would have incremented it for us
and set the FDPUT_FPUT flag.

But in both cases the file count would be greater than one, so the
"file_count(file) > 1" test catches both situations.  Also note that if
file_count is 1, that also means that no other thread can have access to
the file table, so there also cannot be races with concurrent calls to
dup()/fork()/clone() that would increment the file count any other way.

Merge tag 'io_uring-2019-03-06' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull io_uring IO interface from Jens Axboe:
 "Second attempt at adding the io_uring interface.

  Since the first one, we've added basic unit testing of the three
  system calls, that resides in liburing like the other unit tests that
  we have so far. It'll take a while to get full coverage of it, but
  we're working towards it. I've also added two basic test programs to
  tools/io_uring. One uses the raw interface and has support for all the
  various features that io_uring supports outside of standard IO, like
  fixed files, fixed IO buffers, and polled IO. The other uses the
  liburing API, and is a simplified version of cp(1).

  This adds support for a new IO interface, io_uring.

  io_uring allows an application to communicate with the kernel through
  two rings, the submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) ring.
  This allows for very efficient handling of IOs, see the v5 posting for
  some basic numbers:

    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20190116175003.17880-1-axboe@kernel.dk/

  Outside of just efficiency, the interface is also flexible and
  extendable, and allows for future use cases like the upcoming NVMe
  key-value store API, networked IO, and so on. It also supports async
  buffered IO, something that we've always failed to support in the
  kernel.

  Outside of basic IO features, it supports async polled IO as well.
  This particular feature has already been tested at Facebook months ago
  for flash storage boxes, with 25-33% improvements. It makes polled IO
  actually useful for real world use cases, where even basic flash sees
  a nice win in terms of efficiency, latency, and performance. These
  boxes were IOPS bound before, now they are not.

  This series adds three new system calls. One for setting up an
  io_uring instance (io_uring_setup(2)), one for submitting/completing
  IO (io_uring_enter(2)), and one for aux functions like registrating
  file sets, buffers, etc (io_uring_register(2)). Through the help of
  Arnd, I've coordinated the syscall numbers so merge on that front
  should be painless.

  Jon did a writeup of the interface a while back, which (except for
  minor details that have been tweaked) is still accurate. Find that
  here:

    https://lwn.net/Articles/776703/

  Huge thanks to Al Viro for helping getting the reference cycle code
  correct, and to Jann Horn for his extensive reviews focused on both
  security and bugs in general.

  There's a userspace library that provides basic functionality for
  applications that don't need or want to care about how to fiddle with
  the rings directly. It has helpers to allow applications to easily set
  up an io_uring instance, and submit/complete IO through it without
  knowing about the intricacies of the rings. It also includes man pages
  (thanks to Jeff Moyer), and will continue to grow support helper
  functions and features as time progresses. Find it here:

    git://git.kernel.dk/liburing

  Fio has full support for the raw interface, both in the form of an IO
  engine (io_uring), but also with a small test application (t/io_uring)
  that can exercise and benchmark the interface"

the only exposed interface is doing these one at the time. As each of
these entail an atomic inc or dec on a shared structure, that cost can
add up.

Add fget_many(), which works just like fget(), except it takes an
argument for how many references to get on the file. Ditto fput_many(),
which can drop an arbitrary number of references to a file.

457fa3469a Char/Misc driver patches for 4.21-rc1
Here is the big set of char and misc driver patches for 4.21-rc1.
 
 Lots of different types of driver things in here, as this tree seems to
 be the "collection of various driver subsystems not big enough to have
 their own git tree" lately.
 
 Anyway, some highlights of the changes in here:
   - binderfs: is it a rule that all driver subsystems will eventually
     grow to have their own filesystem?  Binder now has one to handle the
     use of it in containerized systems.  This was discussed at the
     Plumbers conference a few months ago and knocked into mergable shape
     very fast by Christian Brauner.  Who also has signed up to be
     another binder maintainer, showing a distinct lack of good judgement :)

80cd795630 binder: fix use-after-free due to ksys_close() during fdget()
44d8047f1d ("binder: use standard functions to allocate fds")
exposed a pre-existing issue in the binder driver.

fdget() is used in ksys_ioctl() as a performance optimization.
One of the rules associated with fdget() is that ksys_close() must
not be called between the fdget() and the fdput(). There is a case
where this requirement is not met in the binder driver which results
in the reference count dropping to 0 when the device is still in
use. This can result in use-after-free or other issues.

If userpace has passed a file-descriptor for the binder driver using
a BINDER_TYPE_FDA object, then kys_close() is called on it when
handling a binder_ioctl(BC_FREE_BUFFER) command. This violates
the assumptions for using fdget().

The problem is fixed by deferring the close using task_work_add(). A
new variant of __close_fd() was created that returns a struct file
with a reference. The fput() is deferred instead of using ksys_close().

2ca2a09d62 fs: add ksys_close() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_close()
Using the ksys_close() wrapper allows us to get rid of in-kernel calls
to the sys_close() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function
is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it
uses the same calling convention as sys_close(), with one subtle
difference:

The few places which checked the return value did not care about the return
value re-writing in sys_close(), so simply use a wrapper around
__close_fd().

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

c7248321a3 fs: add ksys_dup{,3}() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_dup{,3}()
Using ksys_dup() and ksys_dup3() as helper functions allows us to
avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_dup() and sys_dup3() syscalls.
The ksys_ prefix denotes that these functions are meant as a drop-in
replacement for the syscalls. In particular, they use the same
calling convention as sys_dup{,3}().

In the near future, the fs-external callers of ksys_dup{,3}() should be
converted to call do_dup2() directly. Then, ksys_dup{,3}() can be moved
within sys_dup{,3}() again.

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.

Explicit locking in the fallback case provides a safe state of the
table. Getting rid of blocking semantics makes __fd_install usable
again in non-sleepable contexts, which easies backporting efforts.

There is a side effect of slightly nicer assembly for the common case
as might_sleep can now be removed.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

19809c2da2 mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly
__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation.  This API is quite popular

  $ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
  77

The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space.  About half of users don't
use this flag, though.  This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.

This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space.  Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

5d097056c9 kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg
Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg.  For the list, see below:

 - threadinfo
 - task_struct
 - task_delay_info
 - pid
 - cred
 - mm_struct
 - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
 - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
 - signal_struct
 - sighand_struct
 - fs_struct
 - files_struct
 - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
 - dentry and external_name
 - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
   most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.

The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds.  Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

fc90888d07 vfs: conditionally clear close-on-exec flag
We clear the close-on-exec flag when opening and closing files, and the
bit was almost always already clear before.  Avoid dirtying the
cacheline if the clearning isn't necessary.  That avoids unnecessary
cacheline dirtying and bouncing in multi-socket environments.

Eric Dumazet has a file descriptor benchmark that goes 4% faster from
this on his two-socket machine.  It's probably partly superlinear
improvement due to getting slightly less spinlock contention on the
file_lock spinlock due to less work in the critical section.

f3f86e33dc vfs: Fix pathological performance case for __alloc_fd()

And Eric Dumazet has a somewhat realistic multithreaded microbenchmark
that opens and closes a lot of sockets with minimal work per socket.

This patch largely fixes it.  We keep a 2nd-level bitmap of the open
file bitmaps, showing which words are already full.  So then we can
traverse that second-level bitmap to efficiently skip already allocated
file descriptors.

On his benchmark, this improves performance by up to an order of
magnitude, by avoiding the excessive open file bitmap scanning.

5ba97d2832 fs/file.c: __fget() and dup2() atomicity rules
__fget() does lockless fetch of pointer from the descriptor
table, attempts to grab a reference and treats "it was already
zero" as "it's already gone from the table, we just hadn't
seen the store, let's fail".  Unfortunately, that breaks the
atomicity of dup2() - __fget() might see the old pointer,
notice that it's been already dropped and treat that as
"it's closed".  What we should be getting is either the
old file or new one, depending whether we come before or after
dup2().

Dmitry had following test failing sometimes :

int fd;
void *Thread(void *x) {
  char buf;
  int n = read(fd, &buf, 1);
  if (n != 1)
    exit(printf("read failed: n=%d errno=%d\n", n, errno));
  return 0;
}

int main()
{
  fd = open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY);
  int fd2 = open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY);
  if (fd == -1 || fd2 == -1)
    exit(printf("open failed\n"));
  pthread_t th;
  pthread_create(&th, 0, Thread, 0);
  if (dup2(fd2, fd) == -1)
    exit(printf("dup2 failed\n"));
  pthread_join(th, 0);
  if (close(fd) == -1)
    exit(printf("close failed\n"));
  if (close(fd2) == -1)

8a81252b77 fs/file.c: don't acquire files->file_lock in fd_install()
Mateusz Guzik reported :

 Currently obtaining a new file descriptor results in locking fdtable
 twice - once in order to reserve a slot and second time to fill it.

Holding the spinlock in __fd_install() is needed in case a resize is
done, or to prevent a resize.

Mateusz provided an RFC patch and a micro benchmark :
  http://people.redhat.com/~mguzik/pipebench.c

A resize is an unlikely operation in a process lifetime,
as table size is at least doubled at every resize.

We can use RCU instead of the spinlock.

__fd_install() must wait if a resize is in progress.

The resize must block new __fd_install() callers from starting,
and wait that ongoing install are finished (synchronize_sched())

resize should be attempted by a single thread to not waste resources.

rcu_sched variant is used, as __fd_install() and expand_fdtable() run
from process context.

It gives us a ~30% speedup using pipebench on a dual Intel(R) Xeon(R)
CPU E5-2696 v2 @ 2.50GHz

bde6c3aa99 rcu: Provide cond_resched_rcu_qs() to force quiescent states in long loops
RCU-tasks requires the occasional voluntary context switch
from CPU-bound in-kernel tasks.  In some cases, this requires
instrumenting cond_resched().  However, there is some reluctance
to countenance unconditionally instrumenting cond_resched() (see
http://lwn.net/Articles/603252/), so this commit creates a separate
cond_resched_rcu_qs() that may be used in place of cond_resched() in
locations prone to long-duration in-kernel looping.

This commit currently instruments only RCU-tasks.  Future possibilities
include also instrumenting RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched in order to reduce
IPI usage.

99aea68134 vfs: Don't let __fdget_pos() get FMODE_PATH files
Commit bd2a31d522 ("get rid of fget_light()") introduced the
__fdget_pos() function, which returns the resulting file pointer and
fdput flags combined in an 'unsigned long'.  However, it also changed the
behavior to return files with FMODE_PATH set, which shouldn't happen
because read(), write(), lseek(), etc. aren't allowed on such files.
This commit restores the old behavior.

This regression actually had no effect on read() and write() since
FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE are not set on file descriptors opened with
O_PATH, but it did cause lseek() on a file descriptor opened with O_PATH
to fail with ESPIPE rather than EBADF.

96c7a2ff21 fs/file.c:fdtable: avoid triggering OOMs from alloc_fdmem
Recently due to a spike in connections per second memcached on 3
separate boxes triggered the OOM killer from accept.  At the time the
OOM killer was triggered there was 4GB out of 36GB free in zone 1.  The
problem was that alloc_fdtable was allocating an order 3 page (32KiB) to
hold a bitmap, and there was sufficient fragmentation that the largest
page available was 8KiB.

I find the logic that PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER can't fail pretty dubious
but I do agree that order 3 allocations are very likely to succeed.

There are always pathologies where order > 0 allocations can fail when
there are copious amounts of free memory available.  Using the pigeon
hole principle it is easy to show that it requires 1 page more than 50%
of the pages being free to guarantee an order 1 (8KiB) allocation will
succeed, 1 page more than 75% of the pages being free to guarantee an
order 2 (16KiB) allocation will succeed and 1 page more than 87.5% of
the pages being free to guarantee an order 3 allocate will succeed.

A server churning memory with a lot of small requests and replies like
memcached is a common case that if anything can will skew the odds
against large pages being available.

Therefore let's not give external applications a practical way to kill
linux server applications, and specify __GFP_NORETRY to the kmalloc in
alloc_fdmem.  Unless I am misreading the code and by the time the code
reaches should_alloc_retry in __alloc_pages_slowpath (where
__GFP_NORETRY becomes signification).  We have already tried everything
reasonable to allocate a page and the only thing left to do is wait.  So
not waiting and falling back to vmalloc immediately seems like the
reasonable thing to do even if there wasn't a chance of triggering the
OOM killer.
