2014-12-17vfs: make mounts and mountstats honor root dir like mountinfo doesDmitry V. Levin
As we already show mountpoints relative to the root directory, thanks to the change made back in 2000, change show_vfsmnt() and show_vfsstat() to skip out-of-root mountpoints the same way as show_mountinfo() does.

Starting with commit v3.2-rc4-1-g02125a8, seq_path_root() no longer changes the value of its "struct path *root" argument. Starting with commit v3.2-rc7-104-g8c9379e, the "struct path *root" argument of seq_path_root() is const. As result, the temporary variable "root" in show_mountinfo() that holds a copy of struct path root is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Dmitry V.

2014-12-13aio: Make it possible to remap aio ringPavel Emelyanov
There are actually two issues this patch addresses. Let me start with the one I tried to solve in the beginning. So, in the checkpoint-restore project (criu) we try to dump tasks' state and restore one back exactly as it was. One of the tasks' state bits is rings set up with io_setup() call. There's (almost) no problems in dumping them, there's a problem restoring them -- if I dump a task with aio ring originally mapped at address A, I want to restore one back at exactly the same address A. Unfortunately, the io_setup() does not allow for that -- it mmaps the ring at whatever place mm finds appropriate (it calls do_mmap_pgoff() with zero address and without the MAP_FIXED flag). To make restore possible I'm going to mremap() the freshly created ring into the address A (under which it was seen before dump). The problem is that the ring's virtual address is passed back to the user-space as the context ID and this ID is then used as search key by all the other io_foo() calls. Reworking this ID to be just some integer doesn't seem to work, as this value is already used by libaio as a pointer using which this library accesses memory for aio meta-data. So, to make restore work we need to make sure that a) ring is mapped at desired virtual address b) kioctx->user_id matches this value Having said that, the patch makes mremap() on aio region update the kioctx's user_id and mmap_base values. Here appears the 2nd issue I mentioned in the beginning of this mail. If (regardless of the C/R dances I do) someone creates an io context with io_setup(), then mremap()-s the ring and then destroys the context, the kill_ioctx() routine will call munmap() on wrong (old) address. This will result in a) aio ring remaining in memory and b) some other vma get unexpectedly unmapped. What do you think?

destroy_list is used to track marks which still need waiting for srcu period end before they can be freed. However by the time mark is added to destroy_list it isn't in group's list of marks anymore and thus we can reuse fsnotify_mark->g_list for queueing into destroy_list.

2014-12-13fallocate: create FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY eventsHeinrich Schuchardt
The fanotify and the inotify API can be used to monitor changes of the file system. System call fallocate() modifies files. Hence it should trigger the corresponding fanotify (FAN_MODIFY) and inotify (IN_MODIFY) events. The most interesting case is FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE because this value allows to create arbitrary file content from random data. This patch adds the missing call to fsnotify_modify(). The FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY event will be created when fallocate() succeeds. It will even be created if the file length remains unchanged, e.g. when calling fanotify with flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE. This logic was primarily chosen to keep the coding simple. It resembles the logic of the write() system call. When we call write() we always create a FAN_MODIFY event, even in the case of overwriting with identical data. Events FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY do not provide any guarantee that data was actually changed. Furthermore even if if the filesize remains unchanged, fallocate() may influence whether a subsequent write() will succeed and hence the fallocate() call may be considered a modification. The fallocate(2) man page teaches: After a successful call, subsequent writes into the range specified by offset and len are guaranteed not to fail because of lack of disk space. So calling fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, offset, len) may result in different outcomes of a subsequent write depending on the values of offset and len.

2014-12-13syscalls: implement execveat() system callDavid Drysdale
This patchset adds execveat(2) for x86, and is derived from Meredydd Luff's patch from Sept 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/11/528). The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc filesystem, at least for executables (rather than scripts). The current glibc version of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which causes problems in sandboxed or otherwise restricted environments. Given the desire for a /proc-free fexecve() implementation, HPA suggested (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/556) that an execveat(2) syscall would be an appropriate generalization. Also, having a new syscall means that it can take a flags argument without back-compatibility concerns. The current implementation just defines the AT_EMPTY_PATH and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags, but other flags could be added in future -- for example, flags for new namespaces (as suggested at https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/474). Related history: - https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/27/123 is an example of someone realizing that fexecve() is likely to fail in a chroot environment. - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514043 covered documenting the /proc requirement of fexecve(3) in its manpage, to "prevent other people from wasting their time". - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241609 described a problem where a process that did setuid() could not fexecve() because it no longer had access to /proc/self/fd; this has since been fixed. This patch (of 4): Add a new execveat(2) system call. execveat() is to execve() as openat() is to open(): it takes a file descriptor that refers to a directory, and resolves the filename relative to that. In addition, if the filename is empty and AT_EMPTY_PATH is specified, execveat() executes the file to which the file descriptor refers. This replicates the functionality of fexecve(), which is a system call in other UNIXen, but in Linux glibc it depends on opening "/proc/self/fd/<fd>" (and so relies on /proc being mounted). The filename fed to the executed program as argv[0] (or the name of the script fed to a script interpreter) will be of the form "/dev/fd/<fd>" (for an empty filename) or "/dev/fd/<fd>/<filename>", effectively reflecting how the executable was found. This does however mean that execution of a script in a /proc-less environment won't work; also, script execution via an O_CLOEXEC file descriptor fails (as the file will not be accessible after exec).

2014-12-13fat: fix data past EOF resulting from fsx testsuiteNamjae Jeon
When running FSX with direct I/O mode, fsx resulted in DATA past EOF issues. fsx ./file2 -Z -r 4096 -w 4096 ... .. truncating to largest ever: 0x907c fallocating to largest ever: 0x11137 truncating to largest ever: 0x2c6fe truncating to largest ever: 0x2cfdf fallocating to largest ever: 0x40000 Mapped Read: non-zero data past EOF (0x18628) page offset 0x629 is 0x2a4e ... .. The reason being, it is doing a truncate down, but the zeroing does not happen on the last block boundary when offset is not aligned. Even though it calls truncate_setsize()->truncate_inode_pages()-> truncate_inode_pages_range() and considers the partial zeroout but it retrieves the page using find_lock_page() - which only looks the page in the cache. So, zeroing out does not happen in case of direct IO. Make a truncate page based around block_truncate_page for FAT filesystem and invoke that helper to zerout in case the offset is not aligned with the blocksize.

2014-12-13fs, seq_file: fallback to vmalloc instead of oom kill processesDavid Rientjes
Since commit 058504edd026 ("fs/seq_file: fallback to vmalloc allocation"), seq_buf_alloc() falls back to vmalloc() when the kmalloc() for contiguous memory fails. This was done to address order-4 slab allocations for reading /proc/stat on large machines and noticed because PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER < 4, so there is no infinite loop in the page allocator when allocating new slab for such high-order allocations. Contiguous memory isn't necessary for caller of seq_buf_alloc(), however. Other GFP_KERNEL high-order allocations that are <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER will simply loop forever in the page allocator and oom kill processes as a result. We don't want to kill processes so that we can allocate contiguous memory in situations when contiguous memory isn't necessary. This patch does the kmalloc() allocation with __GFP_NORETRY for high-order allocations. This still utilizes memory compaction and direct reclaim in the allocation path, the only difference is that it will fail immediately instead of oom kill processes when out of memory.

2014-12-13mm: vmscan: invoke slab shrinkers from shrink_zone()Johannes Weiner
The slab shrinkers are currently invoked from the zonelist walkers in kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim, all of which roughly gauge the eligible LRU pages and assemble a nodemask to pass to NUMA-aware shrinkers, which then again have to walk over the nodemask. This is redundant code, extra runtime work, and fairly inaccurate when it comes to the estimation of actually scannable LRU pages. The code duplication will only get worse when making the shrinkers cgroup-aware and requiring them to have out-of-band cgroup hierarchy walks as well. Instead, invoke the shrinkers from shrink_zone(), which is where all reclaimers end up, to avoid this duplication. Take the count for eligible LRU pages out of get_scan_count(), which considers many more factors than just the availability of swap space, like zone_reclaimable_pages() currently does. Accumulate the number over all visited lruvecs to get the per-zone value. Some nodes have multiple zones due to memory addressing restrictions. To avoid putting too much pressure on the shrinkers, only invoke them once for each such node, using the class zone of the allocation as the pivot zone. For now, this integrates the slab shrinking better into the reclaim logic and gets rid of duplicative invocations from kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim. It also prepares for cgroup-awareness, allowing memcg-capable shrinkers to be added at the lruvec level without much duplication of both code and runtime work. This changes kswapd behavior, which used to invoke the shrinkers for each zone, but with scan ratios gathered from the entire node, resulting in meaningless pressure quantities on multi-zone nodes. Zone reclaim behavior also changes. It used to shrink slabs until the same amount of pages were shrunk as were reclaimed from the LRUs. Now it merely invokes the shrinkers once with the zone's scan ratio, which makes the shrinkers go easier on caches that implement aging and would prefer feeding back pressure from recently used slab objects to unused LRU pages.

2014-12-13mm: convert i_mmap_mutex to rwsemDavidlohr Bueso
The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory. To this end, this lock can also be a rwsem. In addition, there are some important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree modifications. This conversion is straightforward. For now, all users take the write lock.

2014-12-13genirq: Prevent proc race against freeing of irq descriptorsThomas Gleixner
Since the rework of the sparse interrupt code to actually free the unused interrupt descriptors there exists a race between the /proc interfaces to the irq subsystem and the code which frees the interrupt descriptor. CPU0 CPU1 show_interrupts() desc = irq_to_desc(X); free_desc(desc) remove_from_radix_tree(); kfree(desc); raw_spinlock_irq(&desc->lock); /proc/interrupts is the only interface which can actively corrupt kernel memory via the lock access. /proc/stat can only read from freed memory. Extremly hard to trigger, but possible. The interfaces in /proc/irq/N/ are not affected by this because the removal of the proc file is serialized in procfs against concurrent readers/writers. The removal happens before the descriptor is freed. For architectures which have CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n this is a non issue as the descriptor is never freed. It's merely cleared out with the irq descriptor lock held. So any concurrent proc access will either see the old correct value or the cleared out ones. Protect the lookup and access to the irq descriptor in show_interrupts() with the sparse_irq_lock. Provide kstat_irqs_usr() which is protecting the lookup and access with sparse_irq_lock and switch /proc/stat to use it. Document the existing kstat_irqs interfaces so it's clear that the caller needs to take care about protection. The users of these interfaces are either not affected due to SPARSE_IRQ=n or already protected against removal.

2014-12-11userns: Add a knob to disable setgroups on a per user namespace basisEric W. Biederman
- Expose the knob to user space through a proc file /proc/<pid>/setgroups A value of "deny" means the setgroups system call is disabled in the current processes user namespace and can not be enabled in the future in this user namespace. A value of "allow" means the segtoups system call is enabled. - Descendant user namespaces inherit the value of setgroups from their parents. - A proc file is used (instead of a sysctl) as sysctls currently do not allow checking the permissions at open time. - Writing to the proc file is restricted to before the gid_map for the user namespace is set. This ensures that disabling setgroups at a user namespace level will never remove the ability to call setgroups from a process that already has that ability. A process may opt in to the setgroups disable for itself by creating, entering and configuring a user namespace or by calling setns on an existing user namespace with setgroups disabled. Processes without privileges already can not call setgroups so this is a noop. Prodcess with privilege become processes without privilege when entering a user namespace and as with any other path to dropping privilege they would not have the ability to call setgroups. So this remains within the bounds of what is possible without a knob to disable setgroups permanently in a user namespace. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
