Pull vfs d_inode/d_flags memory ordering fixes from Al Viro:
"Fallout from tree-wide audit for ->d_inode/->d_flags barriers use.
Basically, the problem is that negative pinned dentries require
careful treatment - unless ->d_lock is locked or parent is held at
least shared, another thread can make them positive right under us.Most of the uses turned out to be safe - the main surprises as far as
filesystems are concerned were- race in dget_parent() fastpath, that might end up with the caller
observing the returned dentry _negative_, due to insufficient
barriers. It is positive in memory, but we could end up seeing the
wrong value of ->d_inode in CPU cache. Fixed.- manual checks that result of lookup_one_len_unlocked() is positive
(and rejection of negatives). Again, insufficient barriers (we
might end up with inconsistent observed values of ->d_inode and
->d_flags). Fixed by switching to a new primitive that does the
checks itself and returns ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) instead of a negative
dentry. That way we get rid of boilerplate converting negatives
into ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) in the callers and have a single place to
deal with the barrier-related mess - inside fs/namei.c rather than
in every caller out there.The guts of pathname resolution *do* need to be careful - the race
found by Ritesh is real, as well as several similar races.
Fortunately, it turns out that we can take care of that with fairly
local changes in there.The tree-wide audit had not been fun, and I hate the idea of repeating
it. I think the right approach would be to annotate the places where
we are _not_ guaranteed ->d_inode/->d_flags stability and have sparse
catch regressions. But I'm still not sure what would be the least
invasive way of doing that and it's clearly the next cycle fodder"* 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:

Most of the callers of lookup_one_len_unlocked() treat negatives are
ERR_PTR(-ENOENT). Provide a helper that would do just that. Note
that a pinned positive dentry remains positive - it's ->d_inode is
stable, etc.; a pinned _negative_ dentry can become positive at any
point as long as you are not holding its parent at least shared.
So using lookup_one_len_unlocked() needs to be careful;
lookup_positive_unlocked() is safer and that's what the callers
end up open-coding anyway.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Each kernfs_node is identified with a 64bit ID. The low 32bit is
exposed as ino and the high gen. While this already allows using inos
as keys by looking up with wildcard generation number of 0, it's
adding unnecessary complications for 64bit ino archs which can
directly use kernfs_node IDs as inos to uniquely identify each cgroup
instance.This patch exposes IDs directly as inos on 64bit ino archs. The
conversion is mostly straight-forward.* 32bit ino archs behave the same as before. 64bit ino archs now use
the whole 64bit ID as ino and the generation number is fixed at 1.* 64bit inos still use the same idr allocator which gurantees that the
lower 32bits identify the current live instance uniquely and the
high 32bits are incremented whenever the low bits wrap. As the
upper 32bits are no longer used as gen and we don't wanna start ino
allocation with 33rd bit set, the initial value for highbits
allocation is changed to 0 on 64bit ino archs.* blktrace exposes two 32bit numbers - (INO,GEN) pair - to identify
the issuing cgroup. Userland builds FILEID_INO32_GEN fids from
these numbers to look up the cgroups. To remain compatible with the
behavior, always output (LOW32,HIGH32) which will be constructed
back to the original 64bit ID by __kernfs_fh_to_dentry().Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

The current kernfs exportfs implementation uses the generic_fh_*()
helpers and FILEID_INO32_GEN[_PARENT] which limits ino to 32bits.
Let's implement custom exportfs operations and fid type to remove the
restriction.* FILEID_KERNFS is a single u64 value whose content is
kernfs_node->id. This is the only native fid type.* For backward compatibility with blk_log_action() path which exposes
(ino,gen) pairs which userland assembles into FILEID_INO32_GEN keys,
combine the generic keys into 64bit IDs in the same order.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() looks the kernfs_node matching the
specified ino. On top of that, kernfs_get_node_by_id() and
kernfs_fh_get_inode() implement full ID matching by testing the rest
of ID.On surface, confusingly, the two are slightly different in that the
latter uses 0 gen as wildcard while the former doesn't - does it mean
that the latter can't uniquely identify inodes w/ 0 gen? In practice,
this is a distinction without a difference because generation number
starts at 1. There are no actual IDs with 0 gen, so it can always
safely used as wildcard.Let's simplify the code by renaming kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino()
to kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id(), moving all lookup logics into it,
and removing now unnecessary kernfs_get_node_by_id().Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman -
kernfs_node->id is currently a union kernfs_node_id which represents
either a 32bit (ino, gen) pair or u64 value. I can't see much value
in the usage of the union - all that's needed is a 64bit ID which the
current code is already limited to. Using a union makes the code
unnecessarily complicated and prevents using 64bit ino without adding
practical benefits.This patch drops union kernfs_node_id and makes kernfs_node->id a u64.
ino is stored in the lower 32bits and gen upper. Accessors -
kernfs[_id]_ino() and kernfs[_id]_gen() - are added to retrieve the
ino and gen. This simplifies ID handling less cumbersome and will
allow using 64bit inos on supported archs.This patch doesn't make any functional changes.

kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() uses RCU protection. It's currently
a bit buggy because it can look up a node which hasn't been activated
yet and thus may end up exposing a node that the kernfs user is still
prepping.While it can be fixed by pushing it further in the current direction,
it's already complicated and isn't clear whether the complexity is
justified. The main use of kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() is for
exportfs operations. They aren't super hot and all the follow-up

When the 32bit ino wraps around, kernfs increments the generation
number to distinguish reused ino instances. The wrap-around detection
tests whether the allocated ino is lower than what the cursor but the
cursor is pointing to the next ino to allocate so the condition never

Note that in fnsotify_move() and fsnotify_link() we are guaranteed
that dentry->d_name won't change during the fsnotify() evaluation
(by having the parent directory locked exclusive), so we don't
need to fetch dentry->d_name.name in the callers. In fsnotify_dirent()
the same stability of dentry->d_name is also true, but it's a bit
more convoluted - there is one callchain (devpts_pty_new() ->
fsnotify_create() -> fsnotify_dirent()) where the parent is _not_
locked, but on devpts ->d_name of everything is unchanging; it
has neither explicit nor implicit renames.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

The implementation of kernfs_security_xattr_*() helpers reuses the
kernfs_node_xattr_*() functions, which take the suffix of the xattr name
and extract full xattr name from it using xattr_full_name(). However,
this function relies on the fact that the suffix passed to xattr
handlers from VFS is always constructed from the full name by just
incerementing the pointer. This doesn't necessarily hold for the callers
of kernfs_security_xattr_*(), so their usage will easily lead to
out-of-bounds access.Fix this by moving the xattr name reconstruction to the VFS xattr
handlers and replacing the kernfs_security_xattr_*() helpers with more
general kernfs_xattr_*() helpers that take full xattr name and allow
accessing all kernfs node's xattrs.Reported-by: kernel test robot

This patch introduces a new security hook that is intended for
initializing the security data for newly created kernfs nodes, which
provide a way of storing a non-default security context, but need to
operate independently from mounts (and therefore may not have an
associated inode at the moment of creation).The main motivation is to allow kernfs nodes to inherit the context of
the parent under SELinux, similar to the behavior of
security_inode_init_security(). Other LSMs may implement their own logic
for handling the creation of new nodes.This patch also adds helper functions to for
getting/setting security xattrs of a kernfs node so that LSMs hooks are
able to do their job. Other important attributes should be accessible
direcly in the kernfs_node fields (in case there is need for more, then
new helpers should be added to kernfs.h along with the patch that needs

Patch series "psi: pressure stall monitors", v3.
Android is adopting psi to detect and remedy memory pressure that
results in stuttering and decreased responsiveness on mobile devices.Psi gives us the stall information, but because we're dealing with
latencies in the millisecond range, periodically reading the pressure
files to detect stalls in a timely fashion is not feasible. Psi also
doesn't aggregate its averages at a high enough frequency right now.This patch series extends the psi interface such that users can
configure sensitive latency thresholds and use poll() and friends to be
notified when these are breached.As high-frequency aggregation is costly, it implements an aggregation
method that is optimized for fast, short-interval averaging, and makes
the aggregation frequency adaptive, such that high-frequency updates
only happen while monitored stall events are actively occurring.With these patches applied, Android can monitor for, and ward off,
mounting memory shortages before they cause problems for the user. For
example, using memory stall monitors in userspace low memory killer
daemon (lmkd) we can detect mounting pressure and kill less important
processes before device becomes visibly sluggish.In our memory stress testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x
less false positives compared to vmpressure signals. Having ability to
specify multiple triggers for the same psi metric allows other parts of
Android framework to monitor memory state of the device and act
accordingly.The new interface is straightforward. The user opens one of the
pressure files for writing and writes a trigger description into the
file descriptor that defines the stall state - some or full, and the
maximum stall time over a given window of time. E.g.:/* Signal when stall time exceeds 100ms of a 1s window */
char trigger[] = "full 100000 1000000";
fd = open("/proc/pressure/memory");
write(fd, trigger, sizeof(trigger));
while (poll() >= 0) {
...
}
close(fd);When the monitored stall state is entered, psi adapts its aggregation
frequency according to what the configured time window requires in order
to emit event signals in a timely fashion. Once the stalling subsides,
aggregation reverts back to normal.The trigger is associated with the open file descriptor. To stop
monitoring, the user only needs to close the file descriptor and the
trigger is discarded.Patches 1-4 prepare the psi code for polling support. Patch 5
implements the adaptive polling logic, the pressure growth detection
optimized for short intervals, and hooks up write() and poll() on the
pressure files.The patches were developed in collaboration with Johannes Weiner.
This patch (of 5):
Kernfs has a standardized poll/notification mechanism for waking all
pollers on all fds when a filesystem node changes. To allow polling for
custom events, add a .poll callback that can override the default.This is in preparation for pollable cgroup pressure files which have
per-fd trigger configurations.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190124211518.244221-2-surenb@google.com

Make kernfs support superblock creation/mount/remount with fs_context.
This requires that sysfs, cgroup and intel_rdt, which are built on kernfs,
be made to support fs_context also.Notes:
(1) A kernfs_fs_context struct is created to wrap fs_context and the
kernfs mount parameters are moved in here (or are in fs_context).(2) kernfs_mount{,_ns}() are made into kernfs_get_tree(). The extra
namespace tag parameter is passed in the context if desired(3) kernfs_free_fs_context() is provided as a destructor for the
kernfs_fs_context struct, but for the moment it does nothing except
get called in the right places.(4) sysfs doesn't wrap kernfs_fs_context since it has no parameters to
pass, but possibly this should be done anyway in case someone wants to
add a parameter in future.(5) A cgroup_fs_context struct is created to wrap kernfs_fs_context and
the cgroup v1 and v2 mount parameters are all moved there.(6) cgroup1 parameter parsing error messages are now handled by invalf(),
which allows userspace to collect them directly.(7) cgroup1 parameter cleanup is now done in the context destructor rather
than in the mount/get_tree and remount functions.Weirdies:
(*) cgroup_do_get_tree() calls cset_cgroup_from_root() with locks held,
but then uses the resulting pointer after dropping the locks. I'm
told this is okay and needs commenting.(*) The cgroup refcount web. This really needs documenting.
(*) cgroup2 only has one root?
Add a suggestion from Thomas Gleixner in which the RDT enablement code is
placed into its own function.[folded a leak fix from Andrey Vagin]

Creating a new cache for kernfs_iattrs.
Currently, memory is allocated with kzalloc() which
always gives aligned memory. On ARM, this is 64 byte aligned.
To avoid the wastage of memory in aligning the size requested,
a new cache for kernfs_iattrs is created.Size of struct kernfs_iattrs is 80 Bytes.
On ARM, it will come in kmalloc-128 slab.
and it will come in kmalloc-192 slab if debug info is enabled.
Extra bytes taken 48 bytes.Total number of objects created : 4096
Total saving = 48*4096 = 192 KBAfter creating new slab(When debug info is enabled) :
sh-3.2# cat /proc/slabinfo
...
kernfs_iattrs_cache 4069 4096 128 32 1 : tunables 0 0 0 : slabdata 128 128 0
...All testing has been done on ARM target.

unused now and impossible to use safely anyway.

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).Cc: stable@kernel.org

kernfs_notify() does two notifications: poll and fsnotify. Originally,
both notifications were done from scheduled work context and all that
kernfs_notify() did was schedule the work.This patch simply moves the poll notification from the scheduled work
handler to kernfs_notify(). The fsnotify notification still needs to be
done from scheduled work context because it can sleep (it needs to lock
a mutex).If the poll notification is time critical (the notified thread needs to
wake as quickly as possible), it's better to do it from kernfs_notify()
directly. One example is calling sysfs_notify_dirent() from a hardware
interrupt handler to wake up a thread and handle the interrupt in user
space.Signed-off-by: Radu Rendec

The page cache and most shrinkable slab caches hold data that has been
read from disk, but there are some caches that only cache CPU work, such
as the dentry and inode caches of procfs and sysfs, as well as the subset
of radix tree nodes that track non-resident page cache.Currently, all these are shrunk at the same rate: using DEFAULT_SEEKS for
the shrinker's seeks setting tells the reclaim algorithm that for every
two page cache pages scanned it should scan one slab object.This is a bogus setting. A virtual inode that required no IO to create is
not twice as valuable as a page cache page; shadow cache entries with
eviction distances beyond the size of memory aren't either.In most cases, the behavior in practice is still fine. Such virtual
caches don't tend to grow and assert themselves aggressively, and usually
get picked up before they cause problems. But there are scenarios where
that's not true.Our database workloads suffer from two of those. For one, their file
workingset is several times bigger than available memory, which has the
kernel aggressively create shadow page cache entries for the non-resident
parts of it. The workingset code does tell the VM that most of these are
expendable, but the VM ends up balancing them 2:1 to cache pages as per
the seeks setting. This is a huge waste of memory.These workloads also deal with tens of thousands of open files and use
/proc for introspection, which ends up growing the proc_inode_cache to
absurdly large sizes - again at the cost of valuable cache space, which
isn't a reasonable trade-off, given that proc inodes can be re-created
without involving the disk.This patch implements a "zero-seek" setting for shrinkers that results in
a target ratio of 0:1 between their objects and IO-backed caches. This
allows such virtual caches to grow when memory is available (they do
cache/avoid CPU work after all), but effectively disables them as soon as
IO-backed objects are under pressure.It then switches the shrinkers for procfs and sysfs metadata, as well as
excess page cache shadow nodes, to the new zero-seek setting.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181009184732.762-5-hannes@cmpxchg.org

The terminating NUL byte is only there because the buffer is
allocated with kzalloc(PAGE_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL), but since the
range-check is off-by-one, and PAGE_SIZE==PATH_MAX, the
returned string may not be zero-terminated if it is exactly
PATH_MAX characters long. Furthermore also the initial loop
may theoretically exceed PATH_MAX and cause a fault.Signed-off-by: Bernd Edlinger

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.Co-Developed-by: Tyler Hicks
