2016-01-22dax: never rely on bh.b_dev being set by get_block()Ross Zwisler1-0/+3
Previously in DAX we assumed that calls to get_block() would set bh.b_bdev, and we would then use that value even in error cases for debugging. This caused a NULL pointer dereference in __dax_dbg() which was fixed by a previous commit, but that commit only changed the one place where we were hitting an error. Instead, update dax.c so that we always initialize bh.b_bdev as best we can based on the information that DAX has. get_block() may or may not update to a new value, but this at least lets us get something helpful from bh.b_bdev for error messages and not have to worry about whether it was set by get_block() or not.

2016-01-22dax: add support for fsync/syncRoss Zwisler1-16/+258
To properly handle fsync/msync in an efficient way DAX needs to track dirty pages so it is able to flush them durably to media on demand. The tracking of dirty pages is done via the radix tree in struct address_space. This radix tree is already used by the page writeback infrastructure for tracking dirty pages associated with an open file, and it already has support for exceptional (non struct page*) entries. We build upon these features to add exceptional entries to the radix tree for DAX dirty PMD or PTE pages at fault time.

2016-01-22dax: support dirty DAX entries in radix treeRoss Zwisler2-2/+2
Add support for tracking dirty DAX entries in the struct address_space radix tree. This tree is already used for dirty page writeback, and it already supports the use of exceptional (non struct page*) entries. In order to properly track dirty DAX pages we will insert new exceptional entries into the radix tree that represent dirty DAX PTE or PMD pages. These exceptional entries will also contain the writeback addresses for the PTE or PMD faults that we can use at fsync/msync time. There are currently two types of exceptional entries (shmem and shadow) that can be placed into the radix tree, and this adds a third. We rely on the fact that only one type of exceptional entry can be found in a given radix tree based on its usage. This happens for free with DAX vs shmem but we explicitly prevent shadow entries from being added to radix trees for DAX mappings. The only shadow entries that would be generated for DAX radix trees would be to track zero page mappings that were created for holes. These pages would receive minimal benefit from having shadow entries, and the choice to have only one type of exceptional entry in a given radix tree makes the logic simpler both in clear_exceptional_entry() and in the rest of DAX.

2016-01-22dax: fix conversion of holes to PMDsRoss Zwisler1-10/+10
When we get a DAX PMD fault for a write it is possible that there could be some number of 4k zero pages already present for the same range that were inserted to service reads from a hole. These 4k zero pages need to be unmapped from the VMAs and removed from the struct address_space radix tree before the real DAX PMD entry can be inserted. For PTE faults this same use case also exists and is handled by a combination of unmap_mapping_range() to unmap the VMAs and delete_from_page_cache() to remove the page from the address_space radix tree. For PMD faults we do have a call to unmap_mapping_range() (protected by a buffer_new() check), but nothing clears out the radix tree entry. The buffer_new() check is also incorrect as the current ext4 and XFS filesystem code will never return a buffer_head with BH_New set, even when allocating new blocks over a hole. Instead the filesystem will zero the blocks manually and return a buffer_head with only BH_Mapped set. Fix this situation by removing the buffer_new() check and adding a call to truncate_inode_pages_range() to clear out the radix tree entries before we insert the DAX PMD.

2016-01-22dax: fix NULL pointer dereference in __dax_dbg()Ross Zwisler1-0/+1
In __dax_pmd_fault() we currently assume that get_block() will always set bh.b_bdev and we unconditionally dereference it in __dax_dbg(). This assumption isn't always true - when called for reads of holes ext4_dax_mmap_get_block() returns a buffer head where bh->b_bdev is never set. I hit this BUG while testing the DAX PMD fault path. Instead, initialize bh.b_bdev before passing bh into get_block(). It is possible that the filesystem's get_block() will update bh.b_bdev, and this is fine - we just want to initialize bh.b_bdev to something reasonable so that the calls to __dax_dbg() work and print something useful.

2016-01-21ocfs2: NFS hangs in __ocfs2_cluster_lock due to race with ocfs2_unblock_lockTariq Saeed1-0/+6
NFS on a 2 node ocfs2 cluster each node exporting dir. The lock causing the hang is the global bit map inode lock. Node 1 is master, has the lock granted in PR mode; Node 2 is in the converting list (PR -> EX). There are no holders of the lock on the master node so it should downconvert to NL and grant EX to node 2 but that does not happen. BLOCKED + QUEUED in lock res are set and it is on osb blocked list. Threads are waiting in __ocfs2_cluster_lock on BLOCKED. One thread wants EX, rest want PR. So it is as though the downconvert thread needs to be kicked to complete the conv. The hang is caused by an EX req coming into __ocfs2_cluster_lock on the heels of a PR req after it sets BUSY (drops l_lock, releasing EX thread), forcing the incoming EX to wait on BUSY without doing anything. PR has called ocfs2_dlm_lock, which sets the node 1 lock from NL -> PR, queues ast. At this time, upconvert (PR ->EX) arrives from node 2, finds conflict with node 1 lock in PR, so the lock res is put on dlm thread's dirty listt. After ret from ocf2_dlm_lock, PR thread now waits behind EX on BUSY till awoken by ast. Now it is dlm_thread that serially runs dlm_shuffle_lists, ast, bast, in that order. dlm_shuffle_lists ques a bast on behalf of node 2 (which will be run by dlm_thread right after the ast). ast does its part, sets UPCONVERT_FINISHING, clears BUSY and wakes its waiters. Next, dlm_thread runs bast. It sets BLOCKED and kicks dc thread. dc thread runs ocfs2_unblock_lock, but since UPCONVERT_FINISHING set, skips doing anything and reques. Inside of __ocfs2_cluster_lock, since EX has been waiting on BUSY ahead of PR, it wakes up first, finds BLOCKED set and skips doing anything but clearing UPCONVERT_FINISHING (which was actually "meant" for the PR thread), and this time waits on BLOCKED. Next, the PR thread comes out of wait but since UPCONVERT_FINISHING is not set, it skips updating the l_ro_holders and goes straight to wait on BLOCKED. So there, we have a hang! Threads in __ocfs2_cluster_lock wait on BLOCKED, lock res in osb blocked list. Only when dc thread is awoken, it will run ocfs2_unblock_lock and things will unhang.

But there are several special cases. when IO span multiple objects, we need to wait until all OSD requests are complete, then call kiocb::ki_complete(). Error handling in this case is tricky too. For simplify, AIO both span multiple objects and extends i_size are not allowed. Another special case is check EOF for reading (other client can write to the file and extend i_size concurrently). For simplify, the direct-IO/AIO code path does do the check, fallback to normal syn read instead. Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zyan@redhat.com>

2016-01-20fs/coredump: prevent "" / "." / ".." core path componentsJann Horn1-0/+20
Let %h and %e print empty values as "!", "." as "!" and ".." as "!.". This prevents hostnames and comm values that are empty or consist of one or two dots from changing the directory level at which the corefile will be stored. Consider the case where someone decides to sort coredumps by hostname with a core pattern like "/cores/%h/core.%e.%p.%t" or so. In this case, hostnames "" and "." would cause the coredump to land directly in /cores, which is not what the intent behind the core pattern is, and ".." would cause the coredump to land in /. Yeah, there probably aren't many people who do that, but I still don't want this edgecase to be kind of broken. It seems very unlikely that this caused security issues anywhere, so I'm not requesting a stable backport.

2016-01-20ptrace: use fsuid, fsgid, effective creds for fs access checksJann Horn3-13/+14
By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its credentials. To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g. in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set. The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass. While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access check is reused for things in procfs. In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely on ptrace access checks: /proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in this scenario: lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar drwx------ root root /root drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar -rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file, this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access (through /proc/$pid/cwd).

2016-01-20fat: add fat_fallocate operationNamjae Jeon3-2/+94
Implement preallocation via the fallocate syscall on VFAT partitions. This patch is based on an earlier patch of the same name which had some issues detailed below and did not get accepted. Refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/22/130. a) The preallocated space was not persistent when the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE flag was set. It will deallocate cluster at evict time. b) There was no need to zero out the clusters when the flag was set Instead of doing an expanding truncate, just allocate clusters and add them to the fat chain. This reduces preallocation time. Compatibility with windows: There are no issues when FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE is not set because it just does an expanding truncate. Thus reading from the preallocated area on windows returns null until data is written to it. When a file with preallocated area using the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE was written to on windows, the windows driver freed-up the preallocated clusters and allocated new clusters for the new data. The freed up clusters gets reflected in the free space available for the partition which can be seen from the Volume properties. The windows chkdsk tool also does not report any errors on a disk containing files with preallocated space. And there is also no issue using linux fat fsck. because discard preallocated clusters at repair time.

2016-01-20epoll: add EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flagJason Baron1-3/+21
Currently, epoll file descriptors or epfds (the fd returned from epoll_create[1]()) that are added to a shared wakeup source are always added in a non-exclusive manner. This means that when we have multiple epfds attached to a shared fd source they are all woken up. This creates thundering herd type behavior. Introduce a new 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag that can be passed as part of the 'event' argument during an epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation. This new flag allows for exclusive wakeups when there are multiple epfds attached to a shared fd event source. The implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters, and queues an event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has threads blocked on it via epoll_wait(). The idea is to search for threads which are idle and ready to process the wakeup events. Thus, we queue an event to at least 1 epfd, but may still potentially queue an event to all epfds that are attached to the shared fd source. Performance testing was done by Madars Vitolins using a modified version of Enduro/X. The use of the 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag reduce the length of this particular workload from 860s down to 24s. Sample epoll_clt text: EPOLLEXCLUSIVE Sets an exclusive wakeup mode for the epfd file descriptor that is being attached to the target file descriptor, fd. Thus, when an event occurs and multiple epfd file descriptors are attached to the same target file using EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, one or more epfds will receive an event with epoll_wait(2). The default in this scenario (when EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not set) is for all epfds to receive an event. EPOLLEXCLUSIVE may only be specified with the op EPOLL_CTL_ADD.
