Bastian Blank 712a30e63c splice: fix user pointer access in get_iovec_page_array()
Commit 8811930dc7 ("splice: missing user
pointer access verification") added the proper access_ok() calls to
copy_from_user_mmap_sem() which ensures we can copy the struct iovecs
from userspace to the kernel.

But we also must check whether we can access the actual memory region
pointed to by the struct iovec to fix the access checks properly.

Jens Axboe 8811930dc7 splice: missing user pointer access verification
vmsplice_to_user() must always check the user pointer and length
with access_ok() before copying. Likewise, for the slow path of
copy_from_user_mmap_sem() we need to check that we may read from
the user region.

Jens Axboe 8084870854 splice: always updated atime in direct splice
Andre Majorel <aym-xunil@teaser.fr> points out that if we only updated
the atime when we transfer some data, we deviate from the standard
of always updating the atime. So change splice to always call
file_accessed() even if splice_direct_to_actor() didn't transfer
any data.

Jens Axboe 9e97198dbf splice: fix problem with atime not being updated
A bug report on nfsd that states that since it was switched to use
splice instead of sendfile, the atime was no longer being updated
on the input file. do_generic_mapping_read() does this when accessing
the file, make splice do it for the direct splice handler.

Serge E. Hallyn b53767719b Implement file posix capabilities
Implement file posix capabilities.  This allows programs to be given a
subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use
setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers.

This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at
http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php.  For more information on how to use this
patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at
http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.

Changelog:
	Nov 27:
	Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton
	(security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and
	security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix)
	Fix Kconfig dependency.
	Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in.

	Nov 13:
	Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from
	capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t.

	Nov 13:
	Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey
	Dobriyan.

	Nov 09:
	Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security
	when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean
	up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper
	function.

	Nov 08:
	For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use
	them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.

	Nov 07:
	Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in
	check_cap_sanity().

	Nov 07:
	Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since
	capabilities are the default.
	Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY.
	Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce
	audit messages.

	Nov 05:
	Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and
	task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file
	cap support can be stacked.

	Sep 05:
	As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place
	for capability code.

	Sep 01:
	Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and
	task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which
	they called a program with some fscaps.

	One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we
	ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a
	cpuset?

	It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't
	allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check.  But since
	it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where
	CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check,
	fixing it might be tough.

	     task_setscheduler
		 note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task.  Are we ok with
		     CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset?
	     task_setioprio
	     task_setnice
		 sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another
		 process.  Need same checks as setrlimit

	Aug 21:
	Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that
	euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process
	might still have elevated caps.

	Aug 15:
	Handle endianness of xattrs.
	Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk.
	Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are
	set, else return -EPERM.
	With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering
	doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than
	d_instantiate.

	Aug 10:
	Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than
	caching it at d_instantiate.

Pass real splice size to page_cache_readahead_ondemand().

The splice code works in chunks of 16 pages internally.  The readahead code

 Otherwize bad things may happen.  Imagine some 17-page random splice reads.
The code before this patch will result in two readahead calls: readahead(16);
readahead(1); That leads to one 16-page I/O and one 32-page I/O: one extra I/O
and 31 readahead miss pages.

Note that if a user sets ra_pages to less than PIPE_BUFFERS=16 pages, he will

Jens Axboe bcd4f3acba splice: direct splicing updates ppos twice
OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> reported that he's noticed
nfsd read corruption in recent kernels, and did the hard work of
discovering that it's due to splice updating the file position twice.
This means that the next operation would start further ahead than it
should.

nfsd_vfs_read()
    splice_direct_to_actor()
        while(len) {
            do_splice_to()                     [update sd->pos]
                -> generic_file_splice_read()  [read from sd->pos]
            nfsd_direct_splice_actor()
                -> __splice_from_pipe()        [update sd->pos]

There's nothing wrong with the core splice code, but the direct
splicing is an addon that calls both input and output paths.
So it has to take care in locally caching offset so it remains correct.

- Adjust ppos only according to actor() return.

Also fix loop problem in generic_file_splice_read(), it should not keep

Jens Axboe 620a324b74 splice: __generic_file_splice_read: fix read/truncate race
Original patch and description from Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>,
merged and adapted to splice branch by me. Neils text follows:

__generic_file_splice_read() currently samples the i_size at the start
and doesn't do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load
a page.  After ->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate
may have caused that page to be filled with zeros, and the read()
call should not see these.

However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be
called on a page between the time that __generic_file_splice_read()
samples i_size and when it finds that it has an uptodate page. These
include at least read-ahead and possibly another thread performing a
read

So we must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page.  Thus the
current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with a
sampling before page addition into spd.

Hugh Dickins 475ecade68 splice: __generic_file_splice_read: fix i_size_read() length checks
__generic_file_splice_read's partial page check, at eof after readpage,
not only got its calculations wrong, but also reused the loff variable:
causing data corruption when splicing from a non-0 offset in the file's
last page (revealed by ext2 -b 1024 testing on a loop of a tmpfs file).

Fengguang Wu 9ae9d68cbf [PATCH] splice(): fix interaction with readahead
Eric Dumazet, thank you for disclosing this bug.

Readahead logic somehow fails to populate the page range with data.
It can be because

1) the readahead routine is not always called in the following lines of

fs/splice.c:
        if (!loff || nr_pages > 1)
                page_cache_readahead(mapping, &in->f_ra, in, index, nr_pages);

2) even called, page_cache_readahead() wont guarantee the pages are there.
It wont submit readahead I/O for pages already in the radix tree, or when
(ra_pages == 0), or after 256 cache hits.

In your case, it should be because of the retried reads, which lead to
excessive cache hits, and disables readahead at some time.

And that _one_ failure of readahead blocks the whole read process.
The application receives EAGAIN and retries the read, but
__generic_file_splice_read() refuse to make progress:

- in the previous invocation, it has allocated a blank page and inserted it
  into the radix tree, but never has the chance to start I/O for it: the test
  of SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK goes before that.

- in the retried invocation, the readahead code will neither get out of the
  cache hit mode, nor will it submit I/O for an already existing page.

Nick Piggin 08c7259163 2/2 splice: dont readpage
Splice does not need to readpage to bring the page uptodate before writing
to it, because prepare_write will take care of that for us.

Splice is also wrong to SetPageUptodate before the page is actually uptodate.
This results in the old uninitialised memory leak. This gets fixed as a
matter of course when removing the readpage logic.

Nick Piggin 485ddb4b97 1/2 splice: dont steal
Stealing pages with splice is problematic because we cannot just insert
an uptodate page into the pagecache and hope the filesystem can take care
of it later.

We also cannot just ClearPageUptodate, then hope prepare_write does not
write anything into the page, because I don't think prepare_write gives
that guarantee.

Remove support for SPLICE_F_MOVE for now. If we really want to bring it
back, we might be able to do so with a the new filesystem buffered write
aops APIs I'm working on. If we really don't want to bring it back, then
we should decide that sooner rather than later, and remove the flag and
all the stealing infrastructure before anybody starts using it.

This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having
independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all
users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}.

Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of
the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

Mark Fasheh 62752ee198 [PATCH] Take i_mutex in splice_from_pipe()
The splice_actor may be calling ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write(). We
want i_mutex on the inode being written to before calling those so that we
don't race i_size changes.

The double locking behavior is done elsewhere in splice.c, and if we
eventually want _nolock variants of generic_file_splice_write(), fs modules
might have to replicate the nasty locking code. We introduce
inode_double_lock() and inode_double_unlock() to consolidate the locking
rules into one set of functions.
