thread-group leader exit"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
This is another attempt at trying to make pidfd polling for
multi-threaded exec and premature thread-group leader exit consistent.
A quick recap of these two cases:
(1) During a multi-threaded exec by a subthread, i.e., non-thread-group
leader thread, all other threads in the thread-group including the
thread-group leader are killed and the struct pid of the
thread-group leader will be taken over by the subthread that called
exec. IOW, two tasks change their TIDs.
(2) A premature thread-group leader exit means that the thread-group
leader exited before all of the other subthreads in the thread-group
have exited.
Both cases lead to inconsistencies for pidfd polling with PIDFD_THREAD.
Any caller that holds a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd to the current thread-group
leader may or may not see an exit notification on the file descriptor
depending on when poll is performed. If the poll is performed before the
exec of the subthread has concluded an exit notification is generated
for the old thread-group leader. If the poll is performed after the exec
of the subthread has concluded no exit notification is generated for the
old thread-group leader.
The correct behavior would be to simply not generate an exit
notification on the struct pid of a subhthread exec because the struct
pid is taken over by the subthread and thus remains alive.
But this is difficult to handle because a thread-group may exit
premature as mentioned in (2). In that case an exit notification is
reliably generated but the subthreads may continue to run for an
indeterminate amount of time and thus also may exec at some point.
This tiny series tries to address this problem. If that works correctly
then no exit notifications are generated for a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd for a
thread-group leader until all subthreads have been reaped. If a
subthread should exec before no exit notification will be generated
until that task exits or it creates subthreads and repeates the cycle.

PIDFD_THREAD notification on premature thread-group leader exit.

will be generated until that task exits or it creates subthreads and

When we currently create a pidfd we check that the task hasn't been
reaped right before we create the pidfd. But it is of course possible
that by the time we return the pidfd to userspace the task has already
been reaped since we don't check again after having created a dentry for
it.
This was fine until now because that race was meaningless. But now that
we provide PIDFD_INFO_EXIT it is a problem because it is possible that
the kernel returns a reaped pidfd and it depends on the race whether
PIDFD_INFO_EXIT information is available. This depends on if the task
gets reaped before or after a dentry has been attached to struct pid.
Make this consistent and only returned pidfds for reaped tasks if
PIDFD_INFO_EXIT information is available. This is done by performing
another check whether the task has been reaped right after we attached a
dentry to struct pid.
Since pidfs_exit() is called before struct pid's task linkage is removed
the case where the task got reaped but a dentry was already attached to
struct pid and exit information was recorded and published can be
handled correctly. In that case we do return a pidfd for a reaped task
like we would've before.

Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
Various tools need access to information about a process/task even after
it has already been reaped. For example, systemd's journal logs and uses
such information as the cgroup id and exit status to deal with processes
that have been sent via SCM_PIDFD or SCM_PEERPIDFD. By the time the
pidfd is received the process might have already been reaped.
This series aims to provide information by extending the PIDFD_GET_INFO
ioctl to retrieve the exit code and cgroup id. There might be other
stuff that we would want in the future.
Pidfd polling allows waiting on either task exit or for a task to have
been reaped. The contract for PIDFD_INFO_EXIT is simply that EPOLLHUP
must be observed before exit information can be retrieved, i.e., exit
information is only provided once the task has been reaped.
Note, that if a thread-group leader exits before other threads in the
thread-group then exit information will only be available once the
thread-group is empty. This aligns with wait() as well, where reaping of
a thread-group leader that exited before the thread-group was empty is
delayed until the thread-group is empty.
With PIDFD_INFO_EXIT autoreaping might actually become usable because it
means a parent can ignore SIGCHLD or set SA_NOCLDWAIT and simply use
pidfd polling and PIDFD_INFO_EXIT to get get status information for its
children. The kernel will autocleanup right away instead of delaying.
This includes expansive selftests including for thread-group behior and
multi-threaded exec by a non-thread-group leader thread.

Introduce a private inode slab cache for pidfs. In follow-up patches
pidfs will gain the ability to provide exit information to userspace
after the task has been reaped. This means storing exit information even
after the task has already been released and struct pid's task linkage
is gone. Store that information alongside the inode.

Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com> says:
If you wish to utilise a pidfd interface to refer to the current process or
thread then there is a lot of ceremony involved, looking something like:
pid_t pid = getpid();
int pidfd = pidfd_open(pid, PIDFD_THREAD);
if (pidfd < 0) {
... error handling ...
}
if (process_madvise(pidfd, iovec, 8, MADV_GUARD_INSTALL, 0)) {
... cleanup pidfd ...
... error handling ...
}
...
... cleanup pidfd ...
This adds unnecessary overhead + system calls, complicated error handling
and in addition pidfd_open() is subject to RLIMIT_NOFILE (i.e. the limit of
per-process number of open file descriptors), so the call may fail
spuriously on this basis.
Rather than doing this we can make use of sentinels for this purpose which can
be passed as the pidfd instead. This looks like:
if (process_madvise(PIDFD_SELF, iovec, 8, MADV_GUARD_INSTALL, 0)) {
... error handling ...
}
And avoids all of the aforementioned issues. This series introduces such
sentinels.
It is useful to refer to both the current thread from the userland's
perspective for which we use PIDFD_SELF, and the current process from the
userland's perspective, for which we use PIDFD_SELF_PROCESS.
There is unfortunately some confusion between the kernel and userland as to
what constitutes a process - a thread from the userland perspective is a
process in userland, and a userland process is a thread group (more
specifically the thread group leader from the kernel perspective). We
therefore alias things thusly:
* PIDFD_SELF_THREAD aliased by PIDFD_SELF - use PIDTYPE_PID.
* PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP alised by PIDFD_SELF_PROCESS - use PIDTYPE_TGID.
In all of the kernel code we refer to PIDFD_SELF_THREAD and
PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP. However we expect users to use PIDFD_SELF and
PIDFD_SELF_PROCESS.
This matters for cases where, for instance, a user unshare()'s FDs or does
thread-specific signal handling and where the user would be hugely confused
if the FDs referenced or signal processed referred to the thread group
leader rather than the individual thread.
Another use-case comes from Android. When installing multiple
MADV_GUARD_INSTALL guard pages they considered caching the result of
pidfd_open() for reuse. That however wouldn't work in shared libraries
where users can fork() in between such calls.
For now we only adjust pidfd_get_task() and the pidfd_send_signal() system
call with specific handling for this, implementing this functionality for
process_madvise(), process_mrelease() (albeit, using it here wouldn't
really make sense) and pidfd_send_signal().
We defer making further changes, as this would require a significant rework
of the pidfd mechanism.
The motivating case here is to support PIDFD_SELF in process_madvise(), so
this suffices for immediate uses. Moving forward, this can be further
expanded to other uses.

We explicitly test pidfd_send_signal(), however We defer testing of
mm-specific functionality which uses pidfd, namely process_madvise() and
process_mrelease() to mm testing (though note the latter can not be
sensibly tested as it would require the testing process to be dying).
We also correct the pidfd_open_test.c fields which refer to .request_mask
whereas the UAPI header refers to .mask, which otherwise break the import
of the UAPI header.

It is useful to be able to utilise the pidfd mechanism to reference the
current thread or process (from a userland point of view - thread group
leader from the kernel's point of view).
Therefore introduce PIDFD_SELF_THREAD to refer to the current thread, and
PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP to refer to the current thread group leader.
For convenience and to avoid confusion from userland's perspective we alias
these:
* PIDFD_SELF is an alias for PIDFD_SELF_THREAD - This is nearly always what
the user will want to use, as they would find it surprising if for
instance fd's were unshared()'d and they wanted to invoke pidfd_getfd()
and that failed.
* PIDFD_SELF_PROCESS is an alias for PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP - Most users
have no concept of thread groups or what a thread group leader is, and
from userland's perspective and nomenclature this is what userland
considers to be a process.
We adjust pidfd_get_task() and the pidfd_send_signal() system call with
specific handling for this, implementing this functionality for
process_madvise(), process_mrelease() (albeit, using it here wouldn't
really make sense) and pidfd_send_signal().

gather_bootmem_prealloc() assumes the start nid as 0 and size as
num_node_state(N_MEMORY). That means in case if memory attached numa
nodes are interleaved, then gather_bootmem_prealloc_parallel() will fail
to scan few of these nodes.
Since memory attached numa nodes can be interleaved in any fashion, hence
ensure that the current code checks for all numa node ids
(.size = nr_node_ids). Let's still keep max_threads as N_MEMORY, so that
it can distributes all nr_node_ids among the these many no. threads.

We can run into an infinite loop in __get_longterm_locked() when
collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() finds only folios that are isolated
from the LRU or were never added to the LRU. This can happen when all
folios to be pinned are never added to the LRU, for example when
vm_ops->fault allocated pages using cma_alloc() and never added them to
the LRU.
Fix it by simply taking a look at the list in the single caller, to see if
anything was added.

On NUMA systems, __GFP_THISNODE indicates that an allocation _must_ be on
a particular node, and failure to allocate on the desired node will result
in a failed allocation.
Skip __GFP_THISNODE allocations if we are running on a NUMA system, since
KFENCE can't guarantee which node its pool pages are allocated on.

Since nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig() in nilfs_fiemap() calculates its result
by being prepared to go through potentially maxblocks == INT_MAX blocks,
the value in n may experience an overflow caused by left shift of blkbits.
While it is extremely unlikely to occur, play it safe and cast right hand
expression to wider type to mitigate the issue.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with static analysis
tool SVACE.

There are 4 NUMA nodes on my machine, and each NUMA node has 32GB of
memory. I have configured 16GB of CMA memory on each NUMA node, and
starting a 32GB virtual machine with device passthrough is extremely slow,
taking almost an hour.
Long term GUP cannot allocate memory from CMA area, so a maximum of 16 GB
of no-CMA memory on a NUMA node can be used as virtual machine memory.
There is 16GB of free CMA memory on a NUMA node, which is sufficient to
pass the order-0 watermark check, causing the __compaction_suitable()
function to consistently return true.
For costly allocations, if the __compaction_suitable() function always
returns true, it causes the __alloc_pages_slowpath() function to fail to
exit at the appropriate point. This prevents timely fallback to
allocating memory on other nodes, ultimately resulting in excessively long
virtual machine startup times.
Call trace:
__alloc_pages_slowpath
if (compact_result == COMPACT_SKIPPED ||
compact_result == COMPACT_DEFERRED)
goto nopage; // should exit __alloc_pages_slowpath() from here
We could use the real unmovable allocation context to have
__zone_watermark_unusable_free() subtract CMA pages, and thus we won't
pass the order-0 check anymore once the non-CMA part is exhausted. There
is some risk that in some different scenario the compaction could in fact
migrate pages from the exhausted non-CMA part of the zone to the CMA part
and succeed, and we'll skip it instead. But only __GFP_NORETRY
allocations should be affected in the immediate "goto nopage" when
compaction is skipped, others will attempt with DEF_COMPACT_PRIORITY
anyway and won't fail without trying to compact-migrate the non-CMA
pageblocks into CMA pageblocks first, so it should be fine.
After this fix, it only takes a few tens of seconds to start a 32GB
virtual machine with device passthrough functionality.

If a memory allocation fails during dup_mmap(), the maple tree can be left
in an unsafe state for other iterators besides the exit path. All the
locks are dropped before the exit_mmap() call (in mm/mmap.c), but the
incomplete mm_struct can be reached through (at least) the rmap finding
the vmas which have a pointer back to the mm_struct.
Up to this point, there have been no issues with being able to find an
mm_struct that was only partially initialised. Syzbot was able to make
the incomplete mm_struct fail with recent forking changes, so it has been
proven unsafe to use the mm_struct that hasn't been initialised, as
referenced in the link below.
Although 8ac662f5da19f ("fork: avoid inappropriate uprobe access to
invalid mm") fixed the uprobe access, it does not completely remove the
race.
This patch sets the MMF_OOM_SKIP to avoid the iteration of the vmas on the
oom side (even though this is extremely unlikely to be selected as an oom
victim in the race window), and sets MMF_UNSTABLE to avoid other potential
users from using a partially initialised mm_struct.
When registering vmas for uprobe, skip the vmas in an mm that is marked
unstable. Modifying a vma in an unstable mm may cause issues if the mm
isn't fully initialised.
