Waiman Long 194a6b5b9c sched/wake_q: Rename WAKE_Q to DEFINE_WAKE_Q
Currently the wake_q data structure is defined by the WAKE_Q() macro.
This macro, however, looks like a function doing something as "wake" is
a verb. Even checkpatch.pl was confused as it reported warnings like

  WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
  #548: FILE: kernel/futex.c:3665:
  +	int ret;
  +	WAKE_Q(wake_q);

This patch renames the WAKE_Q() macro to DEFINE_WAKE_Q() which clarifies
what the macro is doing and eliminates the checkpatch.pl warnings.

Deepa Dinamani 078cd8279e fs: Replace CURRENT_TIME with current_time() for inode timestamps
CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
Use current_time() instead.

CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.

This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.

Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
share the same time granularity.

Eric W. Biederman a2982cc922 vfs: Generalize filesystem nodev handling.
Introduce a function may_open_dev that tests MNT_NODEV and a new
superblock flab SB_I_NODEV.  Use this new function in all of the
places where MNT_NODEV was previously tested.

Add the new SB_I_NODEV s_iflag to proc, sysfs, and mqueuefs as those
filesystems should never support device nodes, and a simple superblock
flags makes that very hard to get wrong.  With SB_I_NODEV set if any
device nodes somehow manage to show up on on a filesystem those
device nodes will be unopenable.

Eric W. Biederman d91ee87d8d vfs: Pass data, ns, and ns->userns to mount_ns
Today what is normally called data (the mount options) is not passed
to fill_super through mount_ns.

Pass the mount options and the namespace separately to mount_ns so
that filesystems such as proc that have mount options, can use
mount_ns.

Pass the user namespace to mount_ns so that the standard permission
check that verifies the mounter has permissions over the namespace can
be performed in mount_ns instead of in each filesystems .mount method.
Thus removing the duplication between mqueuefs and proc in terms of
permission checks.  The extra permission check does not currently
affect the rpc_pipefs filesystem and the nfsd filesystem as those
filesystems do not currently allow unprivileged mounts.  Without
unpvileged mounts it is guaranteed that the caller has already passed
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) which guarantees extra permission check will
pass.

Update rpc_pipefs and the nfsd filesystem to ensure that the network
namespace reference is always taken in fill_super and always put in kill_sb
so that the logic is simpler and so that errors originating inside of
fill_super do not cause a network namespace leak.

Kirill A. Shutemov 09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Vladimir Davydov 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).

Marcus Gelderie de54b9ac25 ipc: modify message queue accounting to not take kernel data structures into account
A while back, the message queue implementation in the kernel was
improved to use btrees to speed up retrieval of messages, in commit
d6629859b3 ("ipc/mqueue: improve performance of send/recv").

That patch introducing the improved kernel handling of message queues
(using btrees) has, as a by-product, changed the meaning of the QSIZE
field in the pseudo-file created for the queue.  Before, this field
reflected the size of the user-data in the queue.  Since, it also takes
kernel data structures into account.  For example, if 13 bytes of user
data are in the queue, on my machine the file reports a size of 61
bytes.

There was some discussion on this topic before (for example
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/1/115).  Commenting on a th lkml, Michael
Kerrisk gave the following background
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/16/74):

    The pseudofiles in the mqueue filesystem (usually mounted at
    /dev/mqueue) expose fields with metadata describing a message
    queue. One of these fields, QSIZE, as originally implemented,
    showed the total number of bytes of user data in all messages in
    the message queue, and this feature was documented from the
    beginning in the mq_overview(7) page. In 3.5, some other (useful)
    work happened to break the user-space API in a couple of places,
    including the value exposed via QSIZE, which now includes a measure
    of kernel overhead bytes for the queue, a figure that renders QSIZE
    useless for its original purpose, since there's no way to deduce
    the number of overhead bytes consumed by the implementation.
    (The other user-space breakage was subsequently fixed.)

This patch removes the accounting of kernel data structures in the
queue.  Reporting the size of these data-structures in the QSIZE field
was a breaking change (see Michael's comment above).  Without the QSIZE
field reporting the total size of user-data in the queue, there is no
way to deduce this number.

It should be noted that the resource limit RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE is counted
against the worst-case size of the queue (in both the old and the new
implementation).  Therefore, the kernel overhead accounting in QSIZE is
not necessary to help the user understand the limitations RLIMIT imposes
on the processes.

Davidlohr Bueso fa6004ad45 ipc/mqueue: Implement lockless pipelined wakeups
This patch moves the wakeup_process() invocation so it is not done under
the info->lock by making use of a lockless wake_q. With this change, the
waiter is woken up once it is STATE_READY and it does not need to loop
on SMP if it is still in STATE_PENDING. In the timeout case we still need
to grab the info->lock to verify the state.

This change should also avoid the introduction of preempt_disable() in -rt
which avoids a busy-loop which pools for the STATE_PENDING -> STATE_READY
change if the waiter has a higher priority compared to the waker.

Additionally, this patch micro-optimizes wq_sleep by using the cheaper
cousin of set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTABLE) as we will block no
matter what, thus get rid of the implied barrier.

Davidlohr Bueso f3713fd9cf ipc,mqueue: remove limits for the amount of system-wide queues
Commit 93e6f119c0 ("ipc/mqueue: cleanup definition names and
locations") added global hardcoded limits to the amount of message
queues that can be created.  While these limits are per-namespace,
reality is that it ends up breaking userspace applications.
Historically users have, at least in theory, been able to create up to
INT_MAX queues, and limiting it to just 1024 is way too low and dramatic
for some workloads and use cases.  For instance, Madars reports:

 "This update imposes bad limits on our multi-process application.  As
  our app uses approaches that each process opens its own set of queues
  (usually something about 3-5 queues per process).  In some scenarios
  we might run up to 3000 processes or more (which of-course for linux
  is not a problem).  Thus we might need up to 9000 queues or more.  All
  processes run under one user."

Other affected users can be found in launchpad bug #1155695:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/manpages/+bug/1155695

Instead of increasing this limit, revert it entirely and fallback to the
original way of dealing queue limits -- where once a user's resource
limit is reached, and all memory is used, new queues cannot be created.

J. Bruce Fields b21996e36c locks: break delegations on unlink
We need to break delegations on any operation that changes the set of
links pointing to an inode.  Start with unlink.

Such operations also hold the i_mutex on a parent directory.  Breaking a
delegation may require waiting for a timeout (by default 90 seconds) in
the case of a unresponsive NFS client.  To avoid blocking all directory
operations, we therefore drop locks before waiting for the delegation.
The logic then looks like:

	acquire locks
	...
	test for delegation; if found:
		take reference on inode
		release locks
		wait for delegation break
		drop reference on inode
		retry

It is possible this could never terminate.  (Even if we take precautions
to prevent another delegation being acquired on the same inode, we could
get a different inode on each retry.)  But this seems very unlikely.

The initial test for a delegation happens after the lock on the target
inode is acquired, but the directory inode may have been acquired
further up the call stack.  We therefore add a "struct inode **"
argument to any intervening functions, which we use to pass the inode
back up to the caller in the case it needs a delegation synchronously
broken.

Jeff Layton 79f6530cb5 audit: fix mq_open and mq_unlink to add the MQ root as a hidden parent audit_names record
The old audit PATH records for mq_open looked like this:

  type=PATH msg=audit(1366282323.982:869): item=1 name=(null) inode=6777
  dev=00:0c mode=041777 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00

  obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023

...with the audit related changes that went into 3.7, they now look like this:

  type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=2 name=(null) inode=66655
  dev=00:0c mode=0100700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
  obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023
  type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=1 name=(null) inode=6926
  dev=00:0c mode=041777 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
  obj=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023
  type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=0 name="test_mq"

Both of these look wrong to me.  As Steve Grubb pointed out:

 "What we need is 1 PATH record that identifies the MQ.  The other PATH
  records probably should not be there."

Fix it to record the mq root as a parent, and flag it such that it
should be hidden from view when the names are logged, since the root of
the mq filesystem isn't terribly interesting.  With this change, we get
a single PATH record that looks more like this:

  type=PATH msg=audit(1368021604.836:484): item=0 name="test_mq" inode=16914
  dev=00:0c mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
  obj=unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s0

In order to do this, a new audit_inode_parent_hidden() function is
added.  If we do it this way, then we avoid having the existing callers
of audit_inode needing to do any sort of flag conversion if auditing is

Eric W. Biederman a636b702ed ipc: Restrict mounting the mqueue filesystem
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.

Jeff Layton 91a27b2a75 vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it
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.

Jeff Layton bfcec70874 audit: set the name_len in audit_inode for parent lookups
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.

Doug Ledford ce2d52cc13 ipc/mqueue: add rbtree node caching support
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).

Doug Ledford 113289cc08 ipc/mqueue: strengthen checks on mqueue creation
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.

Doug Ledford 2c12ea498f ipc/mqueue: correct mq_attr_ok test
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.

Doug Ledford d6629859b3 ipc/mqueue: improve performance of send/recv
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:

  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.

Commit b231cca438 ("message queues: increase range limits") changed
mqueue default value when attr parameter is specified NULL from hard
coded value to fs.mqueue.{msg,msgsize}_max sysctl value.

This made large side effect.  When user need to use two mqueue
applications 1) using !NULL attr parameter and it require big message
size and 2) using NULL attr parameter and only need small size message,
app (1) require to raise fs.mqueue.msgsize_max and app (2) consume large
memory size even though it doesn't need.

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).

Doug Ledford 02967ea08e ipc/mqueue: enforce hard limits
In two places we don't enforce the hard limits for CAP_SYS_RESOURCE apps.
In preparation for making more reasonable hard limits, start enforcing
them even on CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.

Doug Ledford 858ee3784e ipc/mqueue: switch back to using non-max values on create
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.

Jan Kara dbd5768f87 vfs: Rename end_writeback() to clear_inode()
After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense
to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode()
which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag.
