  • commit 399504e21a10be16dd1408ba0147367d9d82a10c upstream.

    same story as with last May fixes in sysfs (7b745a4e4051
    "unfuck sysfs_mount()"); new_sb is left uninitialized
    in case of early errors in kernfs_mount_ns() and papering
    over it by treating any error from kernfs_mount_ns() as
    equivalent to !new_ns ends up conflating the cases when
    objects had never been transferred to a superblock with
    ones when that has happened and resulting new superblock
    had been dropped. Easily fixed (same way as in sysfs
    case). Additionally, there's a superblock leak on
    kernfs_node_dentry() failure *and* a dentry leak inside
    kernfs_node_dentry() itself - the latter on probably
    impossible errors, but the former not impossible to trigger
    (as the matter of fact, injecting allocation failures
    at that point *does* trigger it).

  • This change allows creating kernfs files and directories with arbitrary
    uid/gid instead of always using GLOBAL_ROOT_UID/GID by extending
    kernfs_create_dir_ns() and kernfs_create_file_ns() with uid/gid arguments.
    The "simple" kernfs_create_file() and kernfs_create_dir() are left alone
    and always create objects belonging to the global root.

    When creating symlinks ownership (uid/gid) is taken from the target kernfs
    object.

  • gcc 8.1.0 complains:

    fs/kernfs/symlink.c:91:3: warning:
    'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying
    as many bytes from a string as its length
    fs/kernfs/symlink.c: In function 'kernfs_iop_get_link':
    fs/kernfs/symlink.c:88:14: note: length computed here

    Using strncpy() is indeed less than perfect since the length of data to
    be copied has already been determined with strlen(). Replace strncpy()
    with memcpy() to address the warning and optimize the code a little.

  • Pull inode timestamps conversion to timespec64 from Arnd Bergmann:
    "This is a late set of changes from Deepa Dinamani doing an automated
    treewide conversion of the inode and iattr structures from 'timespec'
    to 'timespec64', to push the conversion from the VFS layer into the
    individual file systems.

    As Deepa writes:

    'The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64.
    Currently vfs uses struct timespec, which is not y2038 safe.

    The series involves the following:
    1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64
    timestamps.
    2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch.
    3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual replacement
    becomes easy.
    4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script.
    This is a flag day patch.

    Next steps:
    1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting
    timestamps at the boundaries.
    2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions'

    Thomas Gleixner adds:

    'I think there is no point to drag that out for the next merge
    window. The whole thing needs to be done in one go for the core
    changes which means that you're going to play that catchup game
    forever. Let's get over with it towards the end of the merge window'"

  • Pull the timespec64 conversion from Deepa Dinamani:
    "The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use
    struct timespec64. Currently vfs uses struct timespec,
    which is not y2038 safe.

    The flag patch applies cleanly. I've not seen the timestamps
    update logic change often. The series applies cleanly on 4.17-rc6
    and linux-next tip (top commit: next-20180517).

    I'm not sure how to merge this kind of a series with a flag patch.
    We are targeting 4.18 for this.
    Let me know if you have other suggestions.

    The series involves the following:
    1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64 timestamps.
    2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch.
    3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual
    replacement becomes easy.
    4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script.
    This is a flag day patch.

    I've tried to keep the conversions with the script simple, to
    aid in the reviews. I've kept all the internal filesystem data
    structures and function signatures the same.

    Next steps:
    1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting
    timestamps at the boundaries.
    2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions."

    I've pulled it into a branch based on top of the NFS changes that
    are now in mainline, so I could resolve the non-obvious conflict
    between the two while merging.

  • struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Transition vfs to use
    y2038 safe struct timespec64 instead.

    The change was made with the help of the following cocinelle
    script. This catches about 80% of the changes.
    All the header file and logic changes are included in the
    first 5 rules. The rest are trivial substitutions.
    I avoid changing any of the function signatures or any other
    filesystem specific data structures to keep the patch simple
    for review.

    The script can be a little shorter by combining different cases.
    But, this version was sufficient for my usecase.

  • Use new return type vm_fault_t for page_mkwrite and
    fault handler. For now, this is just documenting that
    the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
    errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t
    will become a distinct type.

  • This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
    variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
    L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
    for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

    with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

    NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
    values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
    For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
    actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

    The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
    should be all done.

  • Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
    "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
    the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
    'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
    variables used to hold the future return value'.

    Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
    misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
    low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
    deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
    in this series - it's large enough as it is.

    Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
    eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
    equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
    arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

    The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from

  • This is a pure automated search-and-replace of the internal kernel
    superblock flags.

    The s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the
    moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're equivalent to.

    Note how the MS_xyz flags are the ones passed to the mount system call,
    while the SB_xyz flags are what we then use in sb->s_flags.

    The script to do this was:

    # places to look in; re security/*: it generally should *not* be
    # touched (that stuff parses mount(2) arguments directly), but
    # there are two places where we really deal with superblock flags.

  • The reference count in kernfs_node structure is treated like a rwsem by
    using lockdep instrumentation code. The lockdep name, however, is still
    "s_active" which is carried over from the old sysfs code. As s_active
    is no longer the variable name, its use may confuse users on where the
    lock is when it is reported by lockdep. So it is changed to "kn->count"
    which is how this variable is normally referenced in kernfs code.

  • By default we output cgroup id in blktrace. This adds an option to
    display cgroup path. Since get cgroup path is a relativly heavy
    operation, we don't enable it by default.

    with the option enabled, blktrace will output something like this:

  • Now we have the facilities to implement exportfs operations. The idea is
    cgroup can export the fhandle info to userspace, then userspace uses
    fhandle to find the cgroup name. Another example is userspace can get
    fhandle for a cgroup and BPF uses the fhandle to filter info for the
    cgroup.

    closely, there is no point to set dentry->d_fsdata. inode->i_private
    already points to kernfs_node, and we can get inode from a dentry. So
    this patch just delete the d_fsdata usage.

    This API will be used in blktrace too later, so it should be as fast as
    possible. To make the API lock free, kernfs node is freed in RCU
    context. And we depend on kernfs_node count/ino number to filter out
    stale kernfs nodes.

  • Set i_generation for kernfs inode. This is required to implement
    exportfs operations. The generation is 32-bit, so it's possible the
    generation wraps up and we find stale files. To reduce the posssibility,
    we don't reuse inode numer immediately. When the inode number allocation
    wraps, we increase generation number. In this way generation/inode
    number consist of a 64-bit number which is unlikely duplicated. This
    does make the idr tree more sparse and waste some memory. Since idr
    manages 32-bit keys, idr uses a 6-level radix tree, each level covers 6
    bits of the key. In a 100k inode kernfs, the worst case will have around
    300k radix tree node. Each node is 576bytes, so the tree will use about
    ~150M memory. Sounds not too bad, if this really is a problem, we should
    find better data structure.

  • Recently started seeing a kernel oops when a module tries removing a
    memory mapped sysfs bin_attribute. On closer investigation the root
    cause seems to be kernfs_release_file() trying to call
    kernfs_op.release() callback that's NULL for such sysfs
    bin_attributes. The oops occurs when kernfs_release_file() is called from
    kernfs_drain_open_files() to cleanup any open handles with active
    memory mappings.

    The patch fixes this by checking for flag KERNFS_HAS_RELEASE before
    calling kernfs_release_file() in function kernfs_drain_open_files().

    On ppc64-le arch with cxl module the oops back-trace is of the
    form below:

  • Pull vfs 'statx()' update from Al Viro.

    This adds the new extended stat() interface that internally subsumes our
    previous stat interfaces, and allows user mode to specify in more detail
    what kind of information it wants.

    It also allows for some explicit synchronization information to be
    passed to the filesystem, which can be relevant for network filesystems:
    is the cached value ok, or do you need open/close consistency, or what?

    From David Howells.

    Andreas Dilger points out that the first version of the extended statx
    interface was posted June 29, 2010:

    * 'rebased-statx' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
    statx: Add a system call to make enhanced file info available

    Linus Torvalds
     

03 Mar, 2017

1 commit

  • Add a system call to make extended file information available, including
    file creation and some attribute flags where available through the
    underlying filesystem.

    The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a
    u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the
    synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*()
    function.

    Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions
    vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage.

    ========
    OVERVIEW
    ========

    The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved
    with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall
    with an extended stat structure.

    A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The
    following have been included:

    (1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large.

    (2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for
    future expansion.

    (3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an
    __s64).

    (4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could
    be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of
    FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime).

    This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could
    be exported by NFSD [Steve French].

    (5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a
    netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly
    without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas
    Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC).

    (6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks
    its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust]
    (AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC).

    And the following have been left out for future extension:

    (7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh
    Kumar].

    Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves
    i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get
    it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead.

    (There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since
    not all filesystems do this the same way).

    (8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such
    as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen)
    [Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert].

    (9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers
    [Bernd Schubert].

    (This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the
    open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to
    whether it's a security hole or not).

    (10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger].

    (No particular data were offered, but things like last backup
    timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come
    into this category).

    (11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A
    filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if
    that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't
    exist or are fabricated locally...

    (This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea
    for this).

    (12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in
    struct xstat [Steve French].

    (Deferred to fsinfo).

    (13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the
    granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French].

    (Deferred to fsinfo).

    (14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags.
    Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4
    define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel
    may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too).

    (Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general
    feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't
    be exposed through statx this way).

    (15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer,
    Michael Kerrisk].

    (Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or
    seclabal might require extra filesystem operations).

    (16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner].

    (A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for
    this - if there proves to be a need).

    (17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this.

    ===============
    NEW SYSTEM CALL
    ===============

    The new system call is:

    int ret = statx(int dfd,
    const char *filename,
    unsigned int flags,
    unsigned int mask,
    struct statx *buffer);

    The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a
    similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be
    emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is
    also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL
    filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd.

    Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store
    can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically
    only affects network filesystems):

    (1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this
    respect.

    (2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise
    its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to
    occur to get the timestamps correct.

    (3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a
    network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered
    approximate.

    mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of
    interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to
    get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for
    more information may entail extra I/O operations.

    buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in
    size.

    ======================
    MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD
    ======================

    The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute
    set:

    struct statx_timestamp {
    __s64 tv_sec;

    __s32 __reserved;
    };

    stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the
    data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be
    placed.

    Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields
    plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note
    that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond
    fields will also be negative if not zero.

    The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a
    file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following
    attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value:

    STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs
    STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable
    STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only
    STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped
    STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs

    Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by:

    KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS

    [Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed
    through this interface?]

    New flags include:

    STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger

    These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially,
    depending on what they are.

    Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes:

    (0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize.

    These are local system information and are always available.

    (1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino,
    stx_size, stx_blocks.

    These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The
    corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they
    actually have valid values.

    If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For
    example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server,
    unless as a byproduct of updating something requested.

    If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as
    UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask,
    even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned
    value will be a fabrication.

    Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for
    instance Windows reparse points.

    (2) stx_rdev_*.

    This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a
    blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0.

    (3) stx_btime.

    Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist.

    =======
    TESTING
    =======

    The following test program can be used to test the statx system call:

    samples/statx/test-statx.c

    Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine.
    The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled.

    Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to
    another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting
    this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

    [root@andromeda ~]# /tmp/test-statx -A /warthog/data
    statx(/warthog/data) = 0
    results=7ff
    Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 1048576 directory
    Device: 00:26 Inode: 1703937 Links: 125
    Access: (3777/drwxrwxrwx) Uid: 0 Gid: 4041
    Access: 2016-11-24 09:02:12.219699527+0000
    Modify: 2016-11-17 10:44:36.225653653+0000
    Change: 2016-11-17 10:44:36.225653653+0000
    Attributes: 0000000000001000 (-------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ---m---- --------)

    Secondly, the result of automounting on that directory.

    [root@andromeda ~]# /tmp/test-statx /warthog/data
    statx(/warthog/data) = 0
    results=7ff
    Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 1048576 directory

  • Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
    "Several noteworthy changes.

    - Parav's rdma controller is finally merged. It is very straight
    forward and can limit the abosolute numbers of common rdma
    constructs used by different cgroups.

    - kernel/cgroup.c got too chubby and disorganized. Created
    kernel/cgroup/ subdirectory and moved all cgroup related files
    under kernel/ there and reorganized the core code. This hurts for
    backporting patches but was long overdue.

    - cgroup v2 process listing reimplemented so that it no longer
    depends on allocating a buffer large enough to cache the entire
    result to sort and uniq the output. v2 has always mangled the sort
    order to ensure that users don't depend on the sorted output, so
    this shouldn't surprise anybody. This makes the pid listing
    functions use the same iterators that are used internally, which
    have to have the same iterating capabilities anyway.

    - perf cgroup filtering now works automatically on cgroup v2. This
    patch was posted a long time ago but somehow fell through the
    cracks.

    - misc fixes asnd documentation updates"

  • ->fault(), ->page_mkwrite(), and ->pfn_mkwrite() calls do not need to
    take a vma and vmf parameter when the vma already resides in vmf.

    Remove the vma parameter to simplify things.

  • The release callback may be called from two places - file release
    operation and kernfs open file draining. kernfs_open_file->mutex is
    used to synchronize the two callsites. This unfortunately leads to
    possible circular locking because of->mutex is used to protect the
    usual kernfs operations which may use locking constructs which are
    held while removing and thus draining kernfs files.

    @of->mutex is for synchronizing concurrent kernfs access operations
    and all we need here is synchronization between the releaes and drain
    paths. As the drain path has to grab kernfs_open_file_mutex anyway,
    let's use the mutex to synchronize the release operation instead.

  • Add ->open/release() methods to kernfs_ops. ->open() is called when
    the file is opened and ->release() when the file is either released or
    severed. These callbacks can be used, for example, to manage
    persistent caching objects over multiple seq_file iterations.

  • More kernfs_open_file->mutex synchronized flags are planned to be
    added. Convert ->mmapped to a bitfield in preparation.

    While at it, make kernfs_fop_mmap() use "true" instead of "1" on
    ->mmapped.

    Pull partial readlink cleanups from Miklos Szeredi.

    This is the uncontroversial part of the readlink cleanup patch-set that
    simplifies the default readlink handling.

    Miklos and Al are still discussing the rest of the series.

    * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
    vfs: make generic_readlink() static
    vfs: remove ".readlink = generic_readlink" assignments
