Davidlohr Bueso ed27f9122c ipc/msg: avoid waking sender upon full queue
Blocked tasks queued in q_senders waiting for their message to fit in the
queue are blindly awoken every time we think there's a remote chance this
might happen.  This could cause numerous (and expensive -- thundering
herd-ish) bogus wakeups if the queue is still really full.  Adding to the
scheduling cost/overhead, there's also the fact that we need to take the
ipc object lock and requeue ourselves in the q_senders list.

By keeping track of the blocked sender's message size, we can know
previously if the wakeup ought to occur or not.  Otherwise, to maintain
the current wakeup order we just move it to the tail.  This is exactly
what occurs right now if the sender needs to go back to sleep.

The case of EIDRM is left completely untouched, as we need to wakeup all
the tasks, and shouldn't be playing games in the first place.

This patch was seen to save on the 'msgctl10' ltp testcase ~15% in context
switches (avg out of ten runs).  Although these tests are really about
functionality (as opposed to performance), is does show the direct
benefits of the optimization.

Davidlohr Bueso e3658538bf ipc/msg: batch queue sender wakeups
Currently the use of wake_qs in sysv msg queues are only for the receiver
tasks that are blocked on the queue.  But blocked sender tasks (due to
queue size constraints) still are awoken with the ipc object lock held,
which can be a problem particularly for small sized queues and far from
gracious for -rt (just like it was for the receiver side).

The paths that actually wakeup a sender are obviously related to when we
are either getting rid of the queue or after (some) space is freed-up
after a receiver takes the msg (msgrcv).  Furthermore, with the exception
of msgrcv, we can always piggy-back on expunge_all that has its own tasks
lined-up for waking.  Finally, upon unlinking the message, it should be no
problem delaying the wakeups a bit until after we've released the lock.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior ee51636ca5 ipc/msg: implement lockless pipelined wakeups
This patch moves the wakeup_process() invocation so it is not done under
the ipc global lock by making use of a lockless wake_q.  With this change,
the waiter is woken up once the message has been assigned and it does not
need to loop on SMP if the message points to NULL.  In the signal case we
still need to check the pointer under the 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 NULL -> !NULL change if the
waiter has a higher priority compared to the waker.

By making use of wake_qs, the logic of sysv msg queues is greatly
simplified (and very well suited as we can batch lockless wakeups),
particularly around the lockless receive algorithm.

This has been tested with Manred's pmsg-shared tool on a "AMD A10-7800
Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G":

Commit 53dad6d3a8 ("ipc: fix race with LSMs") updated ipc_rcu_putref()

Linus Torvalds b9a5322779 Initialize msg/shm IPC objects before doing ipc_addid()
As reported by Dmitry Vyukov, we really shouldn't do ipc_addid() before
having initialized the IPC object state.  Yes, we initialize the IPC
object in a locked state, but with all the lockless RCU lookup work,
that IPC object lock no longer means that the state cannot be seen.

We already did this for the IPC semaphore code (see commit e8577d1f0329:
"ipc/sem.c: fully initialize sem_array before making it visible") but we
clearly forgot about msg and shm.

Davidlohr Bueso ff35e5ef86 ipc,msg: provide barrier pairings for lockless receive
We currently use a full barrier on the sender side to to avoid receiver
tasks disappearing on us while still performing on the sender side wakeup.
 We lack however, the proper CPU-CPU interactions pairing on the receiver
side which busy-waits for the message.  Similarly, we do not need a full
smp_mb, and can relax the semantics for the writer and reader sides of the
message.  This is safe as we are only ordering loads and stores to r_msg.
And in both smp_wmb and smp_rmb, there are no stores after the calls
_anyway_.

This obviously applies for pipelined_send and expunge_all, for EIRDM when
destroying a queue.

Manfred Spraul 0050ee059f ipc/msg: increase MSGMNI, remove scaling
SysV can be abused to allocate locked kernel memory.  For most systems, a
small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX.

Therefore: increase MSGMNI to the maximum supported.

And: If we ignore the risk of locking too much memory, then an automatic
scaling of MSGMNI doesn't make sense.  Therefore the logic can be removed.

The code preserves auto_msgmni to avoid breaking any user space applications
that expect that the value exists.

Notes:
1) If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set
MSGMNI as necessary.

Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android).

2) MSGMAX and MSGMNB are intentionally not increased, as these values are used
to control latency vs. throughput:
If MSGMNB is large, then msgsnd() just returns and more messages can be queued
before a task switch to a task that calls msgrcv() is forced.

Michael Kerrisk 4f87dac386 ipc: Fix 2 bugs in msgrcv() MSG_COPY implementation
While testing and documenting the msgrcv() MSG_COPY flag that Stanislav
Kinsbursky added in commit 4a674f34ba ("ipc: introduce message queue
copy feature" => kernel 3.8), I discovered a couple of bugs in the
implementation.  The two bugs concern MSG_COPY interactions with other
msgrcv() flags, namely:

 (A) MSG_COPY + MSG_EXCEPT
 (B) MSG_COPY + !IPC_NOWAIT

The bugs are distinct (and the fix for the first one is obvious),
however my fix for both is a single-line patch, which is why I'm
combining them in a single mail, rather than writing two mails+patches.

 ===== (A) MSG_COPY + MSG_EXCEPT =====

With the addition of the MSG_COPY flag, there are now two msgrcv()
flags--MSG_COPY and MSG_EXCEPT--that modify the meaning of the 'msgtyp'
argument in unrelated ways.  Specifying both in the same call is a
logical error that is currently permitted, with the effect that MSG_COPY
has priority and MSG_EXCEPT is ignored.  The call should give an error
if both flags are specified.  The patch below implements that behavior.

 ===== (B) (B) MSG_COPY + !IPC_NOWAIT =====

The test code that was submitted in commit 3a665531a3 ("selftests: IPC
message queue copy feature test") shows MSG_COPY being used in
conjunction with IPC_NOWAIT.  In other words, if there is no message at
the position 'msgtyp'.  return immediately with the error in ENOMSG.

What was not (fully) tested is the behavior if MSG_COPY is specified
*without* IPC_NOWAIT, and there is an odd behavior.  If the queue
contains less than 'msgtyp' messages, then the call blocks until the
next message is written to the queue.  At that point, the msgrcv() call
returns a copy of the newly added message, regardless of whether that
message is at the ordinal position 'msgtyp'.  This is clearly bogus, and
problematic for applications that might want to make use of the MSG_COPY
flag.

I considered the following possible solutions to this problem:

 (1) Force the call to block until a message *does* appear at the
     position 'msgtyp'.

 (2) If the MSG_COPY flag is specified, the kernel should implicitly add
     IPC_NOWAIT, so that the call fails with ENOMSG for this case.

 (3) If the MSG_COPY flag is specified, but IPC_NOWAIT is not, generate
     an error (probably, EINVAL is the right one).

I do not know if any application would really want to have the
functionality of solution (1), especially since an application can
determine in advance the number of messages in the queue using msgctl()
IPC_STAT.  Obviously, this solution would be the most work to implement.

Solution (2) would have the effect of silently fixing any applications
that tried to employ broken behavior.  However, it would mean that if we
later decided to implement solution (1), then user-space could not
easily detect what the kernel supports (but, since I'm somewhat doubtful
that solution (1) is needed, I'm not sure that this is much of a
problem).

Solution (3) would have the effect of informing broken applications that
they are doing something broken.  The downside is that this would cause
a ABI breakage for any applications that are currently employing the
broken behavior.  However:

a) Those applications are almost certainly not getting the results they
   expect.
b) Possibly, those applications don't even exist, because MSG_COPY is
   currently hidden behind CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

The upside of solution (3) is that if we later decided to implement
solution (1), user-space could determine what the kernel supports, via
the error return.

In my view, solution (3) is mildly preferable to solution (2), and
solution (1) could still be done later if anyone really cares.  The
patch below implements solution (3).

PS.  For anyone out there still listening, it's the usual story:
documenting an API (and the thinking about, and the testing of the API,
that documentation entails) is the one of the single best ways of
finding bugs in the API, as I've learned from a lot of experience.  Best
to do that documentation before releasing the API.

Rafael Aquini 0f3d2b0135 ipc: introduce ipc_valid_object() helper to sort out IPC_RMID races
After the locking semantics for the SysV IPC API got improved, a couple
of IPC_RMID race windows were opened because we ended up dropping the
'kern_ipc_perm.deleted' check performed way down in ipc_lock().  The
spotted races got sorted out by re-introducing the old test within the
racy critical sections.

This patch introduces ipc_valid_object() to consolidate the way we cope
with IPC_RMID races by using the same abstraction across the API
implementation.

Davidlohr Bueso 4271b05a22 ipc,msg: prevent race with rmid in msgsnd,msgrcv
This fixes a race in both msgrcv() and msgsnd() between finding the msg
and actually dealing with the queue, as another thread can delete shmid
underneath us if we are preempted before acquiring the
kern_ipc_perm.lock.

Manfred illustrates this nicely:

Assume a preemptible kernel that is preempted just after

    msq = msq_obtain_object_check(ns, msqid)

in do_msgrcv().  The only lock that is held is rcu_read_lock().

Now the other thread processes IPC_RMID.  When the first task is
resumed, then it will happily wait for messages on a deleted queue.

Fix this by checking for if the queue has been deleted after taking the
lock.

Davidlohr Bueso 53dad6d3a8 ipc: fix race with LSMs
Currently, IPC mechanisms do security and auditing related checks under
RCU.  However, since security modules can free the security structure,
for example, through selinux_[sem,msg_queue,shm]_free_security(), we can
race if the structure is freed before other tasks are done with it,
creating a use-after-free condition.  Manfred illustrates this nicely,
for instance with shared mem and selinux:

 -> do_shmat calls rcu_read_lock()
 -> do_shmat calls shm_object_check().
     Checks that the object is still valid - but doesn't acquire any locks.
     Then it returns.
 -> do_shmat calls security_shm_shmat (e.g. selinux_shm_shmat)
 -> selinux_shm_shmat calls ipc_has_perm()
 -> ipc_has_perm accesses ipc_perms->security

shm_close()
 -> shm_close acquires rw_mutex & shm_lock
 -> shm_close calls shm_destroy
 -> shm_destroy calls security_shm_free (e.g. selinux_shm_free_security)
 -> selinux_shm_free_security calls ipc_free_security(&shp->shm_perm)
 -> ipc_free_security calls kfree(ipc_perms->security)

This patch delays the freeing of the security structures after all RCU
readers are done.  Furthermore it aligns the security life cycle with
that of the rest of IPC - freeing them based on the reference counter.
For situations where we need not free security, the current behavior is
kept.  Linus states:

 "... the old behavior was suspect for another reason too: having the
  security blob go away from under a user sounds like it could cause
  various other problems anyway, so I think the old code was at least
  _prone_ to bugs even if it didn't have catastrophic behavior."

I have tested this patch with IPC testcases from LTP on both my
quad-core laptop and on a 64 core NUMA server.  In both cases selinux is
enabled, and tests pass for both voluntary and forced preemption models.
While the mentioned races are theoretical (at least no one as reported
them), I wanted to make sure that this new logic doesn't break anything

Manfred Spraul bebcb928c8 ipc/msg.c: Fix lost wakeup in msgsnd().
The check if the queue is full and adding current to the wait queue of
pending msgsnd() operations (ss_add()) must be atomic.

Otherwise:
 - the thread that performs msgsnd() finds a full queue and decides to
   sleep.
 - the thread that performs msgrcv() first reads all messages from the
   queue and then sleeps, because the queue is empty.
 - the msgrcv() calls do not perform any wakeups, because the msgsnd()
   task has not yet called ss_add().
 - then the msgsnd()-thread first calls ss_add() and then sleeps.

Net result: msgsnd() and msgrcv() both sleep forever.

Observed with msgctl08 from ltp with a preemptible kernel.

Fix: Call ipc_lock_object() before performing the check.

The patch also moves security_msg_queue_msgsnd() under ipc_lock_object:
 - msgctl(IPC_SET) explicitely mentions that it tries to expunge any
   pending operations that are not allowed anymore with the new
   permissions.  If security_msg_queue_msgsnd() is called without locks,
   then there might be races.
 - it makes the patch much simpler.

Svenning Sørensen 368ae537e0 IPC: bugfix for msgrcv with msgtyp < 0
According to 'man msgrcv': "If msgtyp is less than 0, the first message of
the lowest type that is less than or equal to the absolute value of msgtyp
shall be received."

Bug: The kernel only returns a message if its type is 1; other messages
with type < abs(msgtype) will never get returned.

Fix: After having traversed the list to find the first message with the
lowest type, we need to actually return that message.

This regression was introduced by commit daaf74cf08 ("ipc: refactor
msg list search into separate function")

Davidlohr Bueso dbfcd91f06 ipc: move rcu lock out of ipc_addid
This patchset continues the work that began in the sysv ipc semaphore
scaling series, see

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/20/546

Just like semaphores used to be, sysv shared memory and msg queues also
abuse the ipc lock, unnecessarily holding it for operations such as
permission and security checks.

This patchset mostly deals with mqueues, and while shared mem can be
done in a very similar way, I want to get these patches out in the open
first.  It also does some pending cleanups, mostly focused on the two
level locking we have in ipc code, taking care of ipc_addid() and
ipcctl_pre_down_nolock() - yes there are still functions that need to be
updated as well.

This patch:

Make all callers explicitly take and release the RCU read lock.

This addresses the two level locking seen in newary(), newseg() and
newqueue().  For the last two, explicitly unlock the ipc object and the
rcu lock, instead of calling the custom shm_unlock and msg_unlock
functions.  The next patch will deal with the open coded locking for
->perm.lock

Rik van Riel 6062a8dc05 ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop
Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case
of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with
multiple semaphores.

If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with
multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself.

If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is
in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock
is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores.

On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi
test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this:

Stanislav Kinsbursky 4a674f34ba ipc: introduce message queue copy feature
This patch is required for checkpoint/restore in userspace.

c/r requires some way to get all pending IPC messages without deleting
them from the queue (checkpoint can fail and in this case tasks will be
resumed, so queue have to be valid).

To achive this, new operation flag MSG_COPY for sys_msgrcv() system call
was introduced.  If this flag was specified, then mtype is interpreted as
number of the message to copy.

If MSG_COPY is set, then kernel will allocate dummy message with passed
size, and then use new copy_msg() helper function to copy desired message
(instead of unlinking it from the queue).

Notes:

1) Return -ENOSYS if MSG_COPY is specified, but
   CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is not set.
