Revert commit 03a7beb55b9f ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a
self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael
Kerrisk, copied below.We'll revisit this for 3.8.
: I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and
: done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program
: tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...)
:
: There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange,
: so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than
: that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be
: correctly documented.
:
: Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following
: scenario in a multithreaded application:
:
: 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations,
: and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information
: corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by
: epoll_wait().
:
: 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
: a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and
: delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache.
:
: 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have
: previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information
: about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using
: information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus,
: there is a potential race.
:
: 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing
: so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait()
: call, which would of course blow thread concurrency.
:
: Right?
:
: Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to
: confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since
: the description that has accompanied the patches so far
: has been a bit sparse
:
: 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file
: descriptor means (safely) doing the following:
: (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list
: using EPOLL_CTL_DEL
: (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache
:
: 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in
: conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT.
:
: 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in
: conjunction is a logical error.
:
: 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using
: EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows:
:
: a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should
: should EPOLLONESHOT.
:
: b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it
: should do the following:
:
: [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE)
: [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE)
: was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely
: deleted by the thread that made this call.
: [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY,
: then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling
: thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to
: indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor
: should perform the deletion operation.
:
: Is all of the above correct?
:
: The implementation depends on checking on whether
: (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0
: This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always
: set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT
: causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be
: cleared.
:
: A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE
: is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things
: stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does
: not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following
: (slightly surprising) behavior:
:
: (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0
: (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted).
: (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY.
:
: This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an
: indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using
: epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which
: EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it
: not make sense to return an error to user space for this case?Cc: Michael Kerrisk

Commit 4439647 ("xfs: reset buffer pointers before freeing them") in
3.0-rc1 introduced a regression when recovering log buffers that
wrapped around the end of log. The second part of the log buffer at
the start of the physical log was being read into the header buffer
rather than the data buffer, and hence recovery was seeing garbage
in the data buffer when it got to the region of the log buffer that
was incorrectly read.Cc: # 3.0.x, 3.2.x, 3.4.x 3.6.x

When we shut down the filesystem, we have to unpin and free all the
buffers currently active in the CIL. To do this we unpin and remove
them in one operation as a result of a failed iclogbuf write. For
buffers, we do this removal via a simultated IO completion of after
marking the buffer stale.At the time we do this, we have two references to the buffer - the
active LRU reference and the buf log item. The LRU reference is
removed by marking the buffer stale, and the active CIL reference is
by the xfs_buf_iodone() callback that is run by
xfs_buf_do_callbacks() during ioend processing (via the bp->b_iodone
callback).However, ioend processing requires one more reference - that of the
IO that it is completing. We don't have this reference, so we free
the buffer prematurely and use it after it is freed. For buffers
marked with XBF_ASYNC, this leads to assert failures in
xfs_buf_rele() on debug kernels because the b_hold count is zero.Fix this by making sure we take the necessary IO reference before
starting IO completion processing on the stale buffer, and set the
XBF_ASYNC flag to ensure that IO completion processing removes all
the active references from the buffer to ensure it is fully torn
down.Cc:

When we free a block from the alloc btree tree, we move it to the
freelist held in the AGFL and mark it busy in the busy extent tree.
This typically happens when we merge btree blocks.Once the transaction is committed and checkpointed, the block can
remain on the free list for an indefinite amount of time. Now, this
isn't the end of the world at this point - if the free list is
shortened, the buffer is invalidated in the transaction that moves
it back to free space. If the buffer is allocated as metadata from
the free list, then all the modifications getted logged, and we have
no issues, either. And if it gets allocated as userdata direct from
the freelist, it gets invalidated and so will never get written.However, during the time it sits on the free list, pressure on the
log can cause the AIL to be pushed and the buffer that covers the
block gets pushed for write. IOWs, we end up writing a freed
metadata block to disk. Again, this isn't the end of the world
because we know from the above we are only writing to free space.The problem, however, is for validation callbacks. If the block was
on old btree root block, then the level of the block is going to be
higher than the current tree root, and so will fail validation.
There may be other inconsistencies in the block as well, and
currently we don't care because the block is in free space. Shutting
down the filesystem because a freed block doesn't pass write
validation, OTOH, is rather unfriendly.So, make sure we always invalidate buffers as they move from the
free space trees to the free list so that we guarantee they never
get written to disk while on the free list.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

Switching stacks are xfs_alloc_vextent can cause deadlocks when we
run out of worker threads on the allocation workqueue. This can
occur because xfs_bmap_btalloc can make multiple calls to
xfs_alloc_vextent() and even if xfs_alloc_vextent() fails it can
return with the AGF locked in the current allocation transaction.If we then need to make another allocation, and all the allocation
worker contexts are exhausted because the are blocked waiting for
the AGF lock, holder of the AGF cannot get it's xfs-alloc_vextent
work completed to release the AGF. Hence allocation effectively
deadlocks.To avoid this, move the stack switch one layer up to
xfs_bmapi_allocate() so that all of the allocation attempts in a
single switched stack transaction occur in a single worker context.
This avoids the problem of an allocation being blocked waiting for
a worker thread whilst holding the AGF.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

Certain allocation paths through xfs_bmapi_write() are in situations

the buffered IO writeback path when convertion delayed allocation
extents to real extents.The current stack switch occurs for userdata allocations, which
means we also do stack switches for preallocation, direct IO and
unwritten extent conversion, even those these call chains have never
been implicated in a stack overrun.Hence, let's target just the single stack overun offended for stack
switches. To do that, introduce a XFS_BMAPI_STACK_SWITCH flag that
the caller can pass xfs_bmapi_write() to indicate it should switch
stacks if it needs to do allocation.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

The log write code stamps each iclog with the current tail LSN in
the iclog header so that recovery knows where to find the tail of
thelog once it has found the head. Normally this is taken from the
first item on the AIL - the log item that corresponds to the oldest
active item in the log.The problem is that when the AIL is empty, the tail lsn is dervied
from the the l_last_sync_lsn, which is the LSN of the last iclog to
be written to the log. In most cases this doesn't happen, because
the AIL is rarely empty on an active filesystem. However, when it
does, it opens up an interesting case when the transaction being
committed to the iclog spans multiple iclogs.That is, the first iclog is stamped with the l_last_sync_lsn, and IO
is issued. Then the next iclog is setup, the changes copied into the
iclog (takes some time), and then the l_last_sync_lsn is stamped
into the header and IO is issued. This is still the same
transaction, so the tail lsn of both iclogs must be the same for log
recovery to find the entire transaction to be able to replay it.The problem arises in that the iclog buffer IO completion updates
the l_last_sync_lsn with it's own LSN. Therefore, If the first iclog
completes it's IO before the second iclog is filled and has the tail
lsn stamped in it, it will stamp the LSN of the first iclog into
it's tail lsn field. If the system fails at this point, log recovery
will not see a complete transaction, so the transaction will no be
replayed.The fix is simple - the l_last_sync_lsn is updated when a iclog
buffer IO completes, and this is incorrect. The l_last_sync_lsn
shoul dbe updated when a transaction is completed by a iclog buffer
IO. That is, only iclog buffers that have transaction commit
callbacks attached to them should update the l_last_sync_lsn. This
means that the last_sync_lsn will only move forward when a commit
record it written, not in the middle of a large transaction that is
rolling through multiple iclog buffers.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

In gfs2_trans_add_bh(), gfs2 was testing if a there was a bd attached to the
buffer without having the gfs2_log_lock held. It was then assuming it would
stay attached for the rest of the function. However, without either the log
lock being held of the buffer locked, __gfs2_ail_flush() could detach bd at any
time. This patch moves the locking before the test. If there isn't a bd
already attached, gfs2 can safely allocate one and attach it before locking.

file_accessed() was being called by gfs2_mmap() with a shared glock. If it
needed to update the atime, it was crashing because it dirtied the inode in
gfs2_dirty_inode() without holding an exclusive lock. gfs2_dirty_inode()
checked if the caller was already holding a glock, but it didn't make sure that
the glock was in the exclusive state. Now, instead of calling file_accessed()
while holding the shared lock in gfs2_mmap(), file_accessed() is called after
grabbing and releasing the glock to update the inode. If file_accessed() needs
to update the atime, it will grab an exclusive lock in gfs2_dirty_inode().gfs2_dirty_inode() now also checks to make sure that if the calling process has
already locked the glock, it has an exclusive lock.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski

The userspace cifs.idmap program generally works with the wbclient libs
to generate binary SIDs in userspace. That program defines the struct
that holds these values as having a max of 15 subauthorities. The kernel
idmapping code however limits that value to 5.When the kernel copies those values around though, it doesn't sanity
check the num_subauths value handed back from userspace or from the
server. It's possible therefore for userspace to hand us back a bogus
num_subauths value (or one that's valid, but greater than 5) that could
cause the kernel to walk off the end of the cifs_sid->sub_auths array.Fix this by defining a new routine for copying sids and using that in
all of the places that copy it. If we end up with a sid that's longer
than expected then this approach will just lop off the "extra" subauths,
but that's basically what the code does today already. Better approaches
might be to fix this code to reject SIDs with >5 subauths, or fix it
to handle the subauths array dynamically.At the same time, change the kernel to check the length of the data
returned by userspace. If it's shorter than struct cifs_sid, reject it
and return -EIO. If that happens we'll end up with fields that are
basically uninitialized.Long term, it might make sense to redefine cifs_sid using a flexarray at
the end, to allow for variable-length subauth lists, and teach the code
to handle the case where the subauths array being passed in from
userspace is shorter than 5 elements.Note too, that I don't consider this a security issue since you'd need
a compromised cifs.idmap program. If you have that, you can do all sorts
of nefarious stuff. Still, this is probably reasonable for stable.Cc: stable@kernel.org
