2023-04-25gfs2: gfs2_ail_empty_gl no log flush on errorBob Peterson
Before this patch, function gfs2_ail_empty_gl called gfs2_log_flush even in cases where it encountered an error. It should probably skip the log flush and leave the file system in an inconsistent state, letting a subsequent withdraw force the journal to be replayed to reestablish metadata consistency.

2023-04-25gfs2: Issue message when revokes cannot be writtenBob Peterson
Before this patch, function gfs2_ail_empty_gl would silently return an error to the caller. This would get silently set into sd_log_error which would cause a withdraw, but there was no indication why the file system was withdrawn. This patch adds a fs_err to log the appropriate error message. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>
2023-04-25gfs2: Perform second log flush in gfs2_make_fs_roBob Peterson
Before this patch, function gfs2_make_fs_ro called gfs2_log_flush once to finalize the log. However, if there's dirty metadata, log flushes tend to sync the metadata and formulate revokes. Before this patch, those revokes may not be written out to the journal immediately, which meant unresolved glocks could still have revokes in their ail lists. When the glock worker runs, it tries to transition the glock, but the unresolved revokes in the ail still need to be written, so it tries to start a transaction. It's impossible to start a transaction because at that point, the SDF_JOURNAL_LIVE flag has been cleared by gfs2_make_fs_ro. That causes the glock worker to fail, unable to write the revokes. The calling sequence looked something like this: gfs2_make_fs_ro gfs2_log_flush - with GFS2_LOG_HEAD_FLUSH_SHUTDOWN flag set if (flags & GFS2_LOG_HEAD_FLUSH_SHUTDOWN) clear_bit(SDF_JOURNAL_LIVE, &sdp->sd_flags); ...meanwhile... glock_work_func do_xmote rgrp_go_sync (or possibly inode_go_sync) ... gfs2_ail_empty_gl __gfs2_trans_begin if (unlikely(!test_bit(SDF_JOURNAL_LIVE, &sdp->sd_flags))) { ... return -EROFS; The previous patch in the series ("gfs2: return errors from gfs2_ail_empty_gl") now causes the transaction error to no longer be ignored, so it causes a warning from MOST of the xfstests: WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: X at fs/gfs2/super.c:603 gfs2_put_super [gfs2] which corresponds to: WARN_ON(gfs2_withdrawing(sdp)); The withdraw was triggered silently from do_xmote by: if (unlikely(sdp->sd_log_error && !gfs2_withdrawn(sdp))) gfs2_withdraw_delayed(sdp); This patch adds a second log_flush to gfs2_make_fs_ro: one to sync the data and one to sync any outstanding revokes and finalize the journal. Note that both of these log flushes need to be "special," in other words, not GFS2_LOG_HEAD_FLUSH_NORMAL.

2023-04-25gfs2: return errors from gfs2_ail_empty_glBob Peterson
Before this patch, function gfs2_ail_empty_gl did not return errors it encountered from __gfs2_trans_begin. Those errors usually came from the fact that the file system was made read-only, often due to unmount (but theoretically could be due to -o remount,ro), which prevented the transaction from starting. The inability to start a transaction prevented its revokes from being properly written to the journal for glocks during unmount (and transition to ro). That meant glocks could be unlocked without the metadata properly revoked in the journal. So other nodes could grab the glock thinking that their lvb values were correct, but in fact corresponded to the glock without its revokes properly synced. That presented as lvb mismatch errors. This patch allows gfs2_ail_empty_gl to return the error properly to the caller. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>

commit 4bd763568dbd ("HID: amd_sfh: Support for additional light sensor") adds additional sensor devices, but forgets to add the number of HID devices to match. Thus, the number of HID devices does not match the actual number of sensors. In order to prevent corruption and system hangs when more than the allowed number of HID devices are accessed, the number of HID devices is increased accordingly.

2023-04-25tcp/udp: Fix memleaks of sk and zerocopy skbs with TX timestamp.Kuniyuki Iwashima
syzkaller reported [0] memory leaks of an UDP socket and ZEROCOPY skbs. We can reproduce the problem with these sequences: sk = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0) sk.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_TIMESTAMPING, SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE) sk.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_ZEROCOPY, 1) sk.sendto(b'', MSG_ZEROCOPY, ('127.0.0.1', 53)) sk.close() sendmsg() calls msg_zerocopy_alloc(), which allocates a skb, sets skb->cb->ubuf.refcnt to 1, and calls sock_hold(). Here, struct ubuf_info_msgzc indirectly holds a refcnt of the socket. When the skb is sent, __skb_tstamp_tx() clones it and puts the clone into the socket's error queue with the TX timestamp. When the original skb is received locally, skb_copy_ubufs() calls skb_unclone(), and pskb_expand_head() increments skb->cb->ubuf.refcnt. This additional count is decremented while freeing the skb, but struct ubuf_info_msgzc still has a refcnt, so __msg_zerocopy_callback() is not called. The last refcnt is not released unless we retrieve the TX timestamped skb by recvmsg(). Since we clear the error queue in inet_sock_destruct() after the socket's refcnt reaches 0, there is a circular dependency. If we close() the socket holding such skbs, we never call sock_put() and leak the count, sk, and skb. TCP has the same problem, and commit e0c8bccd40fc ("net: stream: purge sk_error_queue in sk_stream_kill_queues()") tried to fix it by calling skb_queue_purge() during close(). However, there is a small chance that skb queued in a qdisc or device could be put into the error queue after the skb_queue_purge() call. In __skb_tstamp_tx(), the cloned skb should not have a reference to the ubuf to remove the circular dependency, but skb_clone() does not call skb_copy_ubufs() for zerocopy skb. So, we need to call skb_orphan_frags_rx() for the cloned skb to call skb_copy_ubufs().

When the action of an xdp program was XDP_TX, lan966x was creating a xdp_frame and use this one to send the frame back. But it is also possible to send back the frame without needing a xdp_frame, because it is possible to send it back using the page. And then once the frame is transmitted is possible to use directly page_pool_recycle_direct as lan966x is using page pools. This would save some CPU usage on this path, which results in higher number of transmitted frames.

I tried to follow existing drivers like igc as far as possible. But one main difference is that tsnep does not need any reconfiguration for XDP BPF program setup. So I decided to keep this behavior no matter if a XSK pool is used or not. As a result, tsnep starts using the XSK pool even if no XDP BPF program is available. Another difference is that I tried to prevent potentially failing allocations during XSK pool setup. E.g. both memory models for page pool and XSK pool are registered all the time. Thus, XSK pool setup cannot end up with not working queues. Some prework is done to reduce the last two XSK commits to actual XSK changes. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230421194656.48063-1-gerhard@engleder-embedded.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2023-04-24tsnep: Add XDP socket zero-copy RX supportGerhard Engleder
Add support for XSK zero-copy to RX path. The setup of the XSK pool can be done at runtime. If the netdev is running, then the queue must be disabled and enabled during reconfiguration. This can be done easily with functions introduced in previous commits. A more important property is that, if the netdev is running, then the setup of the XSK pool shall not stop the netdev in case of errors. A broken netdev after a failed XSK pool setup is bad behavior. Therefore, the allocation and setup of resources during XSK pool setup is done only before any queue is disabled. Additionally, freeing and later allocation of resources is eliminated in some cases. Page pool entries are kept for later use. Two memory models are registered in parallel. As a result, the XSK pool setup cannot fail during queue reconfiguration. In contrast to other drivers, XSK pool setup and XDP BPF program setup are separate actions. XSK pool setup can be done without any XDP BPF program. The XDP BPF program can be added, removed or changed without any reconfiguration of the XSK pool. Test results with A53 1.2GHz: xdpsock rxdrop copy mode, 64 byte frames: pps pkts 1.00 rx 856,054 10,625,775 Two CPUs with both 100% utilization. xdpsock rxdrop zero-copy mode, 64 byte frames: pps pkts 1.00 rx 889,388 4,615,284 Two CPUs with 100% and 20% utilization. Packet rate increases and CPU utilization is reduced. 100% CPU load seems to the base load. This load is consumed by ksoftirqd just for dropping the generated packets without xdpsock running. Using batch API reduced CPU utilization slightly, but measurements are not stable enough to provide meaningful numbers.

2023-04-24net: ethtool: coalesce: try to make user settings stick twiceJakub Kicinski
SET_COALESCE may change operation mode and parameters in one call. Changing operation mode may cause the driver to reset the parameter values to what is a reasonable default for new operation mode. Since driver does not know which parameters come from user and which are echoed back from ->get, driver may ignore the parameters when switching operation modes. This used to be inevitable for ioctl() but in netlink we know which parameters are actually specified by the user. We could inform which parameters were set by the user but this would lead to a lot of code duplication in the drivers. Instead try to call the drivers twice if both mode and params are changed. The set method already checks if any params need updating so in case the driver did the right thing the first time around - there will be no second call to it's ->set method (only an extra call to ->get()). For mlx5 for example before this patch we'd see: # ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx on adaptive-tx on # ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off \ tx-usecs 123 rx-usecs 123 Adaptive RX: off TX: off rx-usecs: 3 rx-frames: 32 tx-usecs: 16 tx-frames: 32 [...] After the change: # ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx on adaptive-tx on # ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off \ tx-usecs 123 rx-usecs 123 Adaptive RX: off TX: off rx-usecs: 123 rx-frames: 32 tx-usecs: 123 tx-frames: 32 [...] This only works for netlink, so it's a small discrepancy between netlink and ioctl(). Since we anticipate most users to move to netlink I believe it's worth making their lives easier.

2023-04-24netlink: Use copy_to_user() for optval in netlink_getsockopt().Kuniyuki Iwashima
Brad Spencer provided a detailed report [0] that when calling getsockopt() for AF_NETLINK, some SOL_NETLINK options set only 1 byte even though such options require at least sizeof(int) as length. The options return a flag value that fits into 1 byte, but such behaviour confuses users who do not initialise the variable before calling getsockopt() and do not strictly check the returned value as char. Currently, netlink_getsockopt() uses put_user() to copy data to optlen and optval, but put_user() casts the data based on the pointer, char *optval. As a result, only 1 byte is set to optval. To avoid this behaviour, we need to use copy_to_user() or cast optval for put_user(). Note that this changes the behaviour on big-endian systems, but we document that the size of optval is int in the man page. $ man 7 netlink ... Socket options To set or get a netlink socket option, call getsockopt(2) to read or setsockopt(2) to write the option with the option level argument set to SOL_NETLINK.

2023-04-24selftests/bpf: avoid mark_all_scalars_precise() trigger in one of iter testsAndrii Nakryiko
iter_pass_iter_ptr_to_subprog subtest is relying on actual array size being passed as subprog parameter. This combined with recent fixes to precision tracking in conditional jumps ([0]) is now causing verifier to backtrack all the way to the point where sum() and fill() subprogs are called, at which point precision backtrack bails out and forces all the states to have precise SCALAR registers. This in turn causes each possible value of i within fill() and sum() subprogs to cause a different non-equivalent state, preventing iterator code to converge. For now, change the test to assume fixed size of passed in array. Once BPF verifier supports precision tracking across subprogram calls, these changes will be reverted as unnecessary.

As reported by Kumar in [0], the shared ownership implementation for BPF programs has some race conditions which need to be addressed before it can safely be used. This patch does so in a minimal way instead of ripping out shared ownership entirely, as proper fixes for the issues raised will follow ASAP, at which point this patch's commit can be reverted to re-enable shared ownership. The patch removes the ability to call bpf_refcount_acquire_impl from BPF programs. Programs can only bump refcount and obtain a new owning reference using this kfunc, so removing the ability to call it effectively disables shared ownership. Instead of changing success / failure expectations for bpf_refcount-related selftests, this patch just disables them from running for now.

(2) POSIX ACLs are only available if IOP_XATTR is raised. The IOP_XATTR flag is raised in inode_init_always() based on whether the sb->s_xattr pointer is non-NULL. IOW, the registered xattr handlers of the filesystem are used to raise IOP_XATTR. Removing the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from all filesystems would risk regressing filesystems that only implement POSIX ACL support and no other xattrs (nfs3 comes to mind). This contains the work to decouple POSIX ACLs from the IOP_XATTR flag as they don't depend on xattr handlers anymore. So it's now possible to remove the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from the sb->s_xattr list of all filesystems. This is a crucial step as the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers aren't used for POSIX ACLs anymore and POSIX ACLs don't depend on the xattr infrastructure anymore. Adressing problem (1) will require more long-term work. It would be best to get rid of the ->list() method of xattr handlers completely at some point. For erofs, ext{2,4}, f2fs, jffs2, ocfs2, and reiserfs the nop POSIX ACL xattr handler is kept around so they can continue to use array-based xattr handler indexing.

It should be avoided installing a file descriptor into a task's file descriptor table just to close it again via close_fd() in case an error occurs. The fd has been visible to userspace and might already be in use. Instead, a file descriptor should be reserved but not installed into the caller's file descriptor table. If another failure path is hit then the reserved file descriptor and file can just be put without any userspace visible side-effects. And if all failure paths are cleared the file descriptor and file can be installed into the task's file descriptor table. This helper is now used in all places that open coded this functionality before. For example, this is currently done during copy_process() and fanotify used pidfd_create(), which returns a pidfd that has already been made visibile in the caller's file descriptor table, but then closed it using close_fd().

Such user workers will run with the same credentials as the userspace process they were created from providing stronger security and accounting guarantees than the traditional override_creds() approach ever could've hoped for. The original work was heavily based and optimzed for the needs of io_uring which was the first user. However, as it quickly turned out the ability to create user workers inherting properties from a userspace process is generally useful. The vhost subsystem currently creates workers using the kthread api. The consequences of using the kthread api are that RLIMITs don't work correctly as they are inherited from khtreadd. This leads to bugs where more workers are created than would be allowed by the RLIMITs of the userspace process in lieu of which workers are created. Problems like this disappear with user workers created from the userspace processes for which they perform the work. In addition, providing this api allows vhost to remove additional complexity. For example, cgroup and mm sharing will just work out of the box with user workers based on the relevant userspace process instead of manually ensuring the correct cgroup and mm contexts are used. So the vhost subsystem should simply be made to use the same mechanism as io_uring. To this end the original mechanism used for create_io_thread() is generalized into user workers: - Introduce PF_USER_WORKER as a generic indicator that a given task is a user worker, i.e., a kernel task that was created from a userspace process. Now a PF_IO_WORKER thread is just a specialized version of PF_USER_WORKER. So io_uring io workers raise both flags. - Make copy_process() available to core kernel code - Extend struct kernel_clone_args with the following bitfields allowing to indicate to copy_process(): - to create a user worker (raise PF_USER_WORKER) - to not inherit any files from the userspace process - to ignore signals After all generic changes are in place the vhost subsystem implements a new dedicated vhost api based on user workers.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "Commit volume in documentation is relatively low this time, but there is still a fair amount going on, including: - Reorganize the architecture-specific documentation under Documentation/arch This makes the structure match the source directory and helps to clean up the mess that is the top-level Documentation directory a bit. This work creates the new directory and moves x86 and most of the less-active architectures there. The current plan is to move the rest of the architectures in 6.5, with the patches going through the appropriate subsystem trees. - Some more Spanish translations and maintenance of the Italian translation - A new "Kernel contribution maturity model" document from Ted - A new tutorial on quickly building a trimmed kernel from Thorsten Plus the usual set of updates and fixes" * tag 'docs-6.4' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (47 commits) media: Adjust column width for pdfdocs media: Fix building pdfdocs docs: clk: add documentation to log which clocks have been disabled docs: trace: Fix typo in ftrace.rst Documentation/process: always CC responsible lists docs: kmemleak: adjust to config renaming ELF: document some de-facto PT_* ABI quirks Documentation: arm: remove stih415/stih416 related entries docs: turn off "smart quotes" in the HTML build Documentation: firmware: Clarify firmware path usage docs/mm: Physical Memory: Fix grammar Documentation: Add document for false sharing dma-api-howto: typo fix docs: move m68k architecture documentation under Documentation/arch/ docs: move parisc documentation under Documentation/arch/ docs: move ia64 architecture docs under Documentation/arch/ docs: Move arc architecture docs under Documentation/arch/ docs: move nios2 documentation under Documentation/arch/ docs: move openrisc documentation under Documentation/arch/ docs: move superh documentation under Documentation/arch/ ...
