2014-07-03fs/seq_file: fallback to vmalloc allocationHeiko Carstens1-9/+21
There are a couple of seq_files which use the single_open() interface. This interface requires that the whole output must fit into a single buffer. E.g. for /proc/stat allocation failures have been observed because an order-4 memory allocation failed due to memory fragmentation. In such situations reading /proc/stat is not possible anymore. Therefore change the seq_file code to fallback to vmalloc allocations which will usually result in a couple of order-0 allocations and hence also work if memory is fragmented. For reference a call trace where reading from /proc/stat failed: sadc: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0x1040d0 CPU: 1 PID: 192063 Comm: sadc Not tainted 3.10.0-123.el7.s390x #1 [...] Call Trace: show_stack+0x6c/0xe8 warn_alloc_failed+0xd6/0x138 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x9da/0xb68 __get_free_pages+0x2e/0x58 kmalloc_order_trace+0x44/0xc0 stat_open+0x5a/0xd8 proc_reg_open+0x8a/0x140 do_dentry_open+0x1bc/0x2c8 finish_open+0x46/0x60 do_last+0x382/0x10d0 path_openat+0xc8/0x4f8 do_filp_open+0x46/0xa8 do_sys_open+0x114/0x1f0 sysc_tracego+0x14/0x1a Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Tested-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> Cc: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Thorsten Diehl <thorsten.diehl@de.ibm.com> Cc: Andrea Righi <andrea@betterlinux.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader@canonical.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-11-15seq_file: introduce seq_setwidth() and seq_pad()Tetsuo Handa1-0/+15
There are several users who want to know bytes written by seq_*() for alignment purpose. Currently they are using %n format for knowing it because seq_*() returns 0 on success. This patch introduces seq_setwidth() and seq_pad() for allowing them to align without using %n format.

2013-10-25seq_file: always update file->f_pos in seq_lseek()Gu Zheng1-0/+2
This issue was first pointed out by Jiaxing Wang several months ago, but no further comments: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/29/41 As we know pread() does not change f_pos, so after pread(), file->f_pos and m->read_pos become different. And seq_lseek() does not update file->f_pos if offset equals to m->read_pos, so after pread() and seq_lseek()(lseek to m->read_pos), then a subsequent read may read from a wrong position, the following program produces the problem: char str1[32] = { 0 }; char str2[32] = { 0 }; int poffset = 10; int count = 20; /*open any seq file*/ int fd = open("/proc/modules", O_RDONLY); pread(fd, str1, count, poffset); printf("pread:%s\n", str1); /*seek to where m->read_pos is*/ lseek(fd, poffset+count, SEEK_SET); /*supposed to read from poffset+count, but this read from position 0*/ read(fd, str2, count); printf("read:%s\n", str2); out put: pread: ck_netbios_ns 12665 read: nf_conntrack_netbios /proc/modules: nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 12665 0 - Live 0xffffffffa038b000 nf_conntrack_broadcast 12589 1 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns, Live 0xffffffffa0386000 So we always update file->f_pos to offset in seq_lseek() to fix this issue.

2013-04-09new helper: single_open_size()Al Viro1-0/+18
Same as single_open(), but preallocates the buffer of given size. Doesn't make any sense for sizes up to PAGE_SIZE and doesn't make sense if output of show() exceeds PAGE_SIZE only rarely - seq_read() will take care of growing the buffer and redoing show(). If you _know_ that it will be large, it might make more sense to look into saner iterator, rather than go with single-shot one. If that's impossible, single_open_size() might be for you. Again, don't use that without a good reason; occasionally that's really the best way to go, but very often there are better solutions. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2011-12-06fix apparmor dereferencing potentially freed dentry, sanitize __d_path() APIAl Viro1-3/+3
__d_path() API is asking for trouble and in case of apparmor d_namespace_path() getting just that. The root cause is that when __d_path() misses the root it had been told to look for, it stores the location of the most remote ancestor in *root. Without grabbing references. Sure, at the moment of call it had been pinned down by what we have in *path. And if we raced with umount -l, we could have very well stopped at vfsmount/dentry that got freed as soon as prepend_path() dropped vfsmount_lock. It is safe to compare these pointers with pre-existing (and known to be still alive) vfsmount and dentry, as long as all we are asking is "is it the same address?". Dereferencing is not safe and apparmor ended up stepping into that. d_namespace_path() really wants to examine the place where we stopped, even if it's not connected to our namespace. As the result, it looked at ->d_sb->s_magic of a dentry that might've been already freed by that point. All other callers had been careful enough to avoid that, but it's really a bad interface - it invites that kind of trouble. The fix is fairly straightforward, even though it's bigger than I'd like: * prepend_path() root argument becomes const. * __d_path() is never called with NULL/NULL root. It was a kludge to start with. Instead, we have an explicit function - d_absolute_root(). Same as __d_path(), except that it doesn't get root passed and stops where it stops. apparmor and tomoyo are using it. * __d_path() returns NULL on path outside of root. The main caller is show_mountinfo() and that's precisely what we pass root for - to skip those outside chroot jail. Those who don't want that can (and do) use d_path(). * __d_path() root argument becomes const. Everyone agrees, I hope. * apparmor does *NOT* try to use __d_path() or any of its variants when it sees that path->mnt is an internal vfsmount. In that case it's definitely not mounted anywhere and dentry_path() is exactly what we want there. Handling of sysctl()-triggered weirdness is moved to that place. * if apparmor is asked to do pathname relative to chroot jail and __d_path() tells it we it's not in that jail, the sucker just calls d_absolute_path() instead. That's the other remaining caller of __d_path(), BTW. * seq_path_root() does _NOT_ return -ENAMETOOLONG (it's stupid anyway - the normal seq_file logics will take care of growing the buffer and redoing the call of ->show() just fine). However, if it gets path not reachable from root, it returns SEQ_SKIP. The only caller adjusted (i.e. stopped ignoring the return value as it used to do).

2009-02-18seq_file: properly cope with preadEric Biederman1-4/+32
Currently seq_read assumes that the offset passed to it is always the offset it passed to user space. In the case pread this assumption is broken and we do the wrong thing when presented with pread. To solve this I introduce an offset cache inside of struct seq_file so we know where our logical file position is. Then in seq_read if we try to read from another offset we reset our data structures and attempt to go to the offset user space wanted.

2008-12-31expand some comments (d_path / seq_path)Arjan van de Ven1-2/+8
Explain that you really need to use the return value of d_path rather than the buffer you passed into it. Also fix the comment for seq_path(), the function arguments changed recently but the comment hadn't been updated in sync.

2008-12-30bitmap: fix seq_bitmap and seq_cpumask to take const pointerRusty Russell1-1/+2
Impact: cleanup seq_bitmap just calls bitmap_scnprintf on the bits: that arg can be const. Similarly, seq_cpumask just calls seq_bitmap. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-11-28vfs, seqfile: export mangle_path() generallyIngo Molnar1-1/+1
mangle_path() is trivial enough to make export restrictions on it pointless - so change the export from EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to EXPORT_SYMBOL. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>

2008-10-20seq_file: don't call bitmap_scnprintf_len()Lai Jiangshan1-7/+8
"m->count + len < m->size" is true commonly, so bitmap_scnprintf() is commonly called. this fix saves a call to bitmap_scnprintf_len().

2008-08-25[PATCH] deal with the first call of ->show() generating no outputAl Viro1-2/+9
seq_read() has a subtle bug - we want the first loop there to go until at least one *non-empty* record had fit entirely into buffer. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2008-08-12seq_file: add seq_cpumask(), seq_nodemask()Alexey Dobriyan1-0/+14
Short enough reads from /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity return -EINVAL for no good reason. This became noticed with NR_CPUS=4096 patches, when length of printed representation of cpumask becase 1152, but cat(1) continued to read with 1024-byte chunks. bitmap_scnprintf() in good faith fills buffer, returns 1023, check returns -EINVAL. Fix it by switching to seq_file, so handler will just fill buffer and doesn't care about offsets, length, filling EOF and all this crap. For that add seq_bitmap(), and wrappers around it -- seq_cpumask() and seq_nodemask().

2008-04-23[patch 2/7] vfs: mountinfo: add seq_file_root()Miklos Szeredi1-0/+30
Add a new function: seq_file_root() This is similar to seq_path(), but calculates the path relative to the given root, instead of current->fs->root. If the path was unreachable from root, then modify the root parameter to reflect this. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

[mszeredi@suse.cz] split big patch into managable chunks Add the following functions: dentry_path() seq_dentry() These are similar to d_path() and seq_path(). But instead of calculating the path within a mount namespace, they calculate the path from the root of the filesystem to a given dentry, ignoring mounts completely.
