* vfs: take O_NONBLOCK out of the O_* uniqueness testJames Bottomley2010-09-091-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | O_NONBLOCK on parisc has a dual value: #define O_NONBLOCK 000200004 /* HPUX has separate NDELAY & NONBLOCK */ It is caught by the O_* bits uniqueness check and leads to a parisc compile error. The fix would be to take O_NONBLOCK out.

| * fasync: RCU and fine grained lockingEric Dumazet2010-04-211-24/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kill_fasync() uses a central rwlock, candidate for RCU conversion, to avoid cache line ping pongs on SMP. fasync_remove_entry() and fasync_add_entry() can disable IRQS on a short section instead during whole list scan. Use a spinlock per fasync_struct to synchronize kill_fasync_rcu() and fasync_{remove|add}_entry(). This spinlock is IRQ safe, so sock_fasync() doesnt need its own implementation and can use fasync_helper(), to reduce code size and complexity. We can remove __kill_fasync() direct use in net/socket.c, and rename it to kill_fasync_rcu(). Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Paul E.

* Fix race in tty_fasync() properlyLinus Torvalds2010-02-071-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 703625118069 ("tty: fix race in tty_fasync") and commit b04da8bfdfbb ("fnctl: f_modown should call write_lock_irqsave/ restore") that tried to fix up some of the fallout but was incomplete. It turns out that we really cannot hold 'tty->ctrl_lock' over calling __f_setown, because not only did that cause problems with interrupt disables (which the second commit fixed), it also causes a potential ABBA deadlock due to lock ordering. Thanks to Tetsuo Handa for following up on the issue, and running lockdep to show the problem. It goes roughly like this: - f_getown gets filp->f_owner.lock for reading without interrupts disabled, so an interrupt that happens while that lock is held can cause a lockdep chain from f_owner.lock -> sighand->siglock. - at the same time, the tty->ctrl_lock -> f_owner.lock chain that commit 703625118069 introduced, together with the pre-existing sighand->siglock -> tty->ctrl_lock chain means that we have a lock dependency the other way too. So instead of extending tty->ctrl_lock over the whole __f_setown() call, we now just take a reference to the 'pid' structure while holding the lock, and then release it after having done the __f_setown. That still guarantees that 'struct pid' won't go away from under us, which is all we really ever needed.

* fasync: split 'fasync_helper()' into separate add/remove functionsLinus Torvalds2009-12-161-36/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Yes, the add and remove cases do share the same basic loop and the locking, but the compiler can inline and then CSE some of the end result anyway. And splitting it up makes the code way easier to follow, and makes it clearer exactly what the semantics are. In particular, we must make sure that the FASYNC flag in file->f_flags exactly matches the state of "is this file on any fasync list", since not only is that flag visible to user space (F_GETFL), but we also use that flag to check whether we need to remove any fasync entries on file close. We got that wrong for the case of a mixed use of file locking (which tries to remove any fasync entries for file leases) and fasync. Splitting the function up also makes it possible to do some future optimizations without making the function even messier. In particular, since the FASYNC flag has to match the state of "is this on a list", we can do the following future optimizations: - on remove, we don't even need to get the locks and traverse the list if FASYNC isn't set, since we can know a priori that there is no point (this is effectively the same optimization that we already do in __fput() wrt removing fasync on file close) - on add, we can use the FASYNC flag to decide whether we are changing an existing entry or need to allocate a new one. but this is just the cleanup + fix for the FASYNC flag.

Also, using PGRP instead of GID avoids confusion with the common abbreviation of "group ID". I'm fine with anything that makes it more consistent, and if PGRP is what is the predominant abbreviation then I see no need to further confuse matters by adding a third one.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call. It will still be send to the whole process of which that thread is part. Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX. The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with perf-counters. Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is available. If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space state right after it returns from the kernel. This is esp. convenient for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments. Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex as argument: struct f_owner_ex { int type; pid_t pid; }; Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

* signals: send_sigio: use do_send_sig_info() to avoid check_kill_permission()Oleg Nesterov2009-09-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | group_send_sig_info()->check_kill_permission() assumes that current is the sender and uses current_cred(). This is not true in send_sigio_to_task() case. From the security pov the sender is not current, but the task which did fcntl(F_SETOWN), that is why we have sigio_perm() which uses the right creds to check. Fortunately, send_sigio() always sends either SEND_SIG_PRIV or SI_FROMKERNEL() signal, so check_kill_permission() does nothing. But still it would be tidier to avoid this bogus security check and save a couple of cycles.

* Move FASYNC bit handling to f_op->fasync()Jonathan Corbet2009-03-161-13/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removing the BKL from FASYNC handling ran into the challenge of keeping the setting of the FASYNC bit in filp->f_flags atomic with regard to calls to the underlying fasync() function. Andi Kleen suggested moving the handling of that bit into fasync(); this patch does exactly that. As a result, we have a couple of internal API changes: fasync() must now manage the FASYNC bit, and it will be called without the BKL held. As it happens, every fasync() implementation in the kernel with one exception calls fasync_helper(). So, if we make fasync_helper() set the FASYNC bit, we can avoid making any changes to the other fasync() functions - as long as those functions, themselves, have proper locking. Most fasync() implementations do nothing but call fasync_helper() - which has its own lock - so they are easily verified as correct. The BKL had already been pushed down into the rest. The networking code has its own version of fasync_helper(), so that code has been augmented with explicit FASYNC bit handling.

In this case the current dup3() code does nothing at all. I.e., it ingnores the flags parameter. This shouldn't happen, the close-on-exec flag should be set if requested. In case the O_CLOEXEC bit in the flags parameter is not set the dup3() function should behave in this respect identical to dup2(). This means dup3(fd, fd, 0) should not actively reset the c-o-e flag.

* [PATCH] sanitize locate_fd()Al Viro2008-04-251-26/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * 'file' argument is unused; lose it. * move setting flags from the caller (dupfd()) to locate_fd(); pass cloexec flag as new argument. Note that files_fdtable() that used to be in dupfd() isn't needed in the place in locate_fd() where the moved code ends up - we know that ->file_lock hadn't been dropped since the last time we calculated fdt because we can get there only if expand_files() returns 0 and it doesn't drop/reacquire in that case. * move getting/dropping ->file_lock into locate_fd(). Now the caller doesn't need to do anything with files_struct *files anymore and we can move that inside locate_fd() as well, killing the struct files_struct * argument. At that point locate_fd() is extremely similar to get_unused_fd_flags() and the next patches will merge those two. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to userPavel Emelyanov2007-10-191-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

* Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid checkSatyam Sharma2007-07-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as well, thus violating its semantics. [ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ... untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ] The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

* [PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in sizeVadim Lobanov2006-12-101-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the fdarray and two fdsets. The code allows the number of fds supported by the fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset). In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all. Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal. This patch removes fdtable->max_fdset. As an added bonus, most of the supporting code becomes simpler.
