2014-03-23vfs: Don't let __fdget_pos() get FMODE_PATH filesEric Biggers1-15/+4
Commit bd2a31d522344 ("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.

2014-02-17fs: Substitute rcu_access_pointer() for rcu_dereference_raw()Paul E. McKenney1-1/+1
(Trivial patch.) If the code is looking at the RCU-protected pointer itself, but not dereferencing it, the rcu_dereference() functions can be downgraded to rcu_access_pointer().

2014-02-10fs/file.c:fdtable: avoid triggering OOMs from alloc_fdmemEric W. Biederman1-1/+1
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. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2014-01-25change close_files() to use rcu_dereference_raw(files->fdt)Oleg Nesterov1-17/+9
put_files_struct() and close_files() do rcu_read_lock() to make rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() happy. This looks a bit ugly, files_fdtable() just reads the pointer, we can simply use rcu_dereference_raw() to avoid the warning. The patch also changes close_files() to return fdt, this avoids another rcu_read_lock()/files_fdtable() in put_files_struct(). I think close_files() needs more cleanups: - we do not need xchg() exactly because we are the last user of this files_struct - "if (file)" should be turned into WARN_ON(!file) Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-01-25introduce __fcheck_files() to fix rcu_dereference_check_fdtable(), kill ↵Oleg Nesterov1-2/+2
rcu_my_thread_group_empty() rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() looks very wrong, 1. rcu_my_thread_group_empty() was added by 844b9a8707f1 "vfs: fix RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc" but it doesn't really fix the problem. A CLONE_THREAD (without CLONE_FILES) task can hit the same race with get_files_struct(). And otoh rcu_my_thread_group_empty() can suppress the correct warning if the caller is the CLONE_FILES (without CLONE_THREAD) task. 2. files->count == 1 check is not really right too. Even if this files_struct is not shared it is not safe to access it lockless unless the caller is the owner. Otoh, this check is sub-optimal. files->count == 0 always means it is safe to use it lockless even if files != current->files, but put_files_struct() has to take rcu_read_lock(). See the next patch. This patch removes the buggy checks and turns fcheck_files() into __fcheck_files() which uses rcu_dereference_raw(), the "unshared" callers, fget_light() and fget_raw_light(), can use it to avoid the warning from RCU-lockdep. fcheck_files() is trivially reimplemented as rcu_lockdep_assert() plus __fcheck_files().

2012-02-19Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longsDavid Howells1-24/+22
Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs and then use the standard non-atomic bit operations rather than the FD_* macros. This: (1) Removes the abuses of struct fd_set: (a) Since we don't want to allocate a full fd_set the vast majority of the time, we actually, in effect, just allocate a just-big-enough array of unsigned longs and cast it to an fd_set type - so why bother with the fd_set at all? (b) Some places outside of the core fdtable handling code (such as SELinux) want to look inside the array of unsigned longs hidden inside the fd_set struct for more efficient iteration over the entire set. (2) Eliminates the use of FD_*() macros in the kernel completely. (3) Permits the __FD_*() macros to be deleted entirely where not exposed to userspace.

2012-02-19Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtableDavid Howells1-4/+4
Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable (for recording open files and close-on-exec flags) so that we can move away from using fd_sets since we abuse the fd_set structs by not allocating the full-sized structure under normal circumstances and by non-core code looking at the internals of the fd_sets. The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted, since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths. This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags: void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt); void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt); Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because they require the caller to hold a lock to use them. Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the the array. Possibly that should exist too.

2011-04-28vfs: avoid large kmalloc()s for the fdtableAndrew Morton1-7/+11
Azurit reports large increases in system time after 2.6.36 when running Apache. It was bisected down to a892e2d7dcdfa6c76e6 ("vfs: use kmalloc() to allocate fdmem if possible"). That patch caused the vfs to use kmalloc() for very large allocations and this is causing excessive work (and presumably excessive reclaim) within the page allocator. Fix it by falling back to vmalloc() earlier - when the allocation attempt would have been considered "costly" by reclaim.

2010-08-11vfs: use kmalloc() to allocate fdmem if possibleChangli Gao1-34/+23
Use kmalloc() to allocate fdmem if possible. vmalloc() is used as a fallback solution for fdmem allocation. A new helper function __free_fdtable() is introduced to reduce the lines of code. A potential bug, vfree() a memory allocated by kmalloc(), is fixed.

Remove all rcu head inits. We don't care about the RCU head state before passing it to call_rcu() anyway. Only leave the "on_stack" variants so debugobjects can keep track of objects on stack.

2010-03-06fs: use rlimit helpersJiri Slaby1-1/+1
Make sure compiler won't do weird things with limits. E.g. fetching them twice may return 2 different values after writable limits are implemented. I.e. either use rlimit helpers added in commit 3e10e716abf3 ("resource: add helpers for fetching rlimits") or ACCESS_ONCE if not applicable.
