* pidns: make pid->level and pid_ns->level unsignedPavel Emelyanov2008-04-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These values represent the nesting level of a namespace and pids living in it, and it's always non-negative. Turning this from int to unsigned int saves some space in pid.c (11 bytes on x86 and 64 on ia64) by letting the compiler optimize the pid_nr_ns a bit. E.g. on ia64 this removes the sign extension calls, which compiler adds to optimize access to pid->nubers[ns->level]. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Cc: "Eric W.

* pids: introduce change_pid() helperOleg Nesterov2008-04-301-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea. Without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp() can return NULL if the caller races with setprgp()/setsid() which does detach_pid() + attach_pid(). This can happen even if task == current. Intoduce the new helper, change_pid(), which should be used instead. This way the caller always sees the special pid != NULL, either old or new. Also change the prototype of attach_pid(), it always returns 0 and nobody check the returned value. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.

* uglify while_each_pid_task() to make sure we don't count the execing pricess ↵Oleg Nesterov2008-02-081-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | twice There is a window when de_thread() switches the leader and drops tasklist_lock. In that window do_each_pid_task(PIDTYPE_PID) finds both new and old leaders. The problem is pretty much theoretical and probably can be ignored. Currently the only users of do_each_pid_task(PIDTYPE_PID) are send_sigio/send_sigurg, so they can send the signal to the same process twice.

* pid: Extend/Fix pid_vnrEric W. Biederman2008-02-081-11/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pid_vnr returns the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace the struct pid was allocated in. What we want before we return a pid to user space is the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace of current. pid_vnr is a very nice optimization but because it isn't quite what we want it is easy to use pid_vnr at times when we aren't certain the struct pid was allocated in our pid namespace. Currently this describes at least tiocgpgrp and tiocgsid in ttyio.c the parent process reported in the core dumps and the parent process in get_signal_to_deliver. So unless the performance impact is huge having an interface that does what we want instead of always what we want should be much more reliable and much less error prone. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* Uninline find_pid etc set of functionsPavel Emelyanov2007-10-191-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The find_pid/_vpid/_pid_ns functions are used to find the struct pid by its id, depending on whic id - global or virtual - is used. The find_vpid() is a macro that pushes the current->nsproxy->pid_ns on the stack to call another function - find_pid_ns(). It turned out, that this dereference together with the push itself cause the kernel text size to grow too much. Move all these out-of-line. Together with the previous patch this saves a bit less that 400 bytes from .text section.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each struct upid element of struct pid has to be initialized properly, i.e. its nr mst be allocated from appropriate pidmap and ns set to appropriate namespace. When allocating a new pid, we need to know the namespace this pid will live in, so the additional argument is added to alloc_pid(). On the other hand, the rest of the kernel still uses the pid->nr and pid->pid_chain fields, so these ones are still initialized, but this will be removed soon.

* pid namespaces: introduce struct upidSukadev Bhattiprolu2007-10-191-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since task will be visible from different pid namespaces each of them have to be addressed by multiple pids. struct upid is to store the information about which id refers to which namespace. The constuciton looks like this. Each struct pid carried the reference counter and the list of tasks attached to this pid. At its end it has a variable length array of struct upid-s. Each struct upid has a numerical id (pid itself), pointer to the namespace, this ID is valid in and is hashed into a pid_hash for searching the pids. The nr and pid_chain fields are kept in struct pid for a while to make kernel still work (no patch initialize the upids yet), but it will be removed at the end of this series when we switch to upids completely.

* [PATCH] proc: readdir race fix (take 3)Eric W. Biederman2006-10-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem: An opendir, readdir, closedir sequence can fail to report process ids that are continually in use throughout the sequence of system calls. For this race to trigger the process that proc_pid_readdir stops at must exit before readdir is called again. This can cause ps to fail to report processes, and it is in violation of posix guarantees and normal application expectations with respect to readdir. Currently there is no way to work around this problem in user space short of providing a gargantuan buffer to user space so the directory read all happens in on system call. This patch implements the normal directory semantics for proc, that guarantee that a directory entry that is neither created nor destroyed while reading the directory entry will be returned. For directory that are either created or destroyed during the readdir you may or may not see them. Furthermore you may seek to a directory offset you have previously seen. These are the guarantee that ext[23] provides and that posix requires, and more importantly that user space expects. Plus it is a simple semantic to implement reliable service. It is just a matter of calling readdir a second time if you are wondering if something new has show up. These better semantics are implemented by scanning through the pids in numerical order and by making the file offset a pid plus a fixed offset. The pid scan happens on the pid bitmap, which when you look at it is remarkably efficient for a brute force algorithm. Given that a typical cache line is 64 bytes and thus covers space for 64*8 == 200 pids. There are only 40 cache lines for the entire 32K pid space. A typical system will have 100 pids or more so this is actually fewer cache lines we have to look at to scan a linked list, and the worst case of having to scan the entire pid bitmap is pretty reasonable. If we need something more efficient we can go to a more efficient data structure for indexing the pids, but for now what we have should be sufficient. In addition this takes no additional locks and is actually less code than what we are doing now. Also another very subtle bug in this area has been fixed. It is possible to catch a task in the middle of de_thread where a thread is assuming the thread of it's thread group leader. This patch carefully handles that case so if we hit it we don't fail to return the pid, that is undergoing the de_thread dance.

* [PATCH] pid: Implement transfer_pid and use it to simplify de_threadEric W. Biederman2006-09-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In de_thread we move pids from one process to another, a rather ugly case. The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the action atomic. This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner. Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a single function call needs to be emitted. The only downside is that the code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being in cache. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] pidhash: Refactor the pid hash tableEric W. Biederman2006-03-311-15/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simplifies the code, reduces the need for 4 pid hash tables, and makes the code more capable. In the discussions I had with Oleg it was felt that to a large extent the cleanup itself justified the work. With struct pid being dynamically allocated meant we could create the hash table entry when the pid was allocated and free the hash table entry when the pid was freed. Instead of playing with the hash lists when ever a process would attach or detach to a process. For myself the fact that it gave what my previous task_ref patch gave for free with simpler code was a big win. The problem is that if you hold a reference to struct task_struct you lock in 10K of low memory. If you do that in a user controllable way like /proc does, with an unprivileged but hostile user space application with typical resource limits of 1000 fds and 100 processes I can trigger the OOM killer by consuming all of low memory with task structs, on a machine wight 1GB of low memory. If I instead hold a reference to struct pid which holds a pointer to my task_struct, I don't suffer from that problem because struct pid is 2 orders of magnitude smaller. In fact struct pid is small enough that most other kernel data structures dwarf it, so simply limiting the number of referring data structures is enough to prevent exhaustion of low memory. This splits the current struct pid into two structures, struct pid and struct pid_link, and reduces our number of hash tables from PIDTYPE_MAX to just one. struct pid_link is the per process linkage into the hash tables and lives in struct task_struct. struct pid is given an indepedent lifetime, and holds pointers to each of the pid types. The independent life of struct pid simplifies attach_pid, and detach_pid, because we are always manipulating the list of pids and not the hash table. In addition in giving struct pid an indpendent life it makes the concept much more powerful. Kernel data structures can now embed a struct pid * instead of a pid_t and not suffer from pid wrap around problems or from keeping unnecessarily large amounts of memory allocated.

* [PATCH] pidhash: kill switch_exec_pidsEric W. Biederman2006-03-281-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | switch_exec_pids is only called from de_thread by way of exec, and it is only called when we are exec'ing from a non thread group leader. Currently switch_exec_pids gives the leader the pid of the thread and unhashes and rehashes all of the process groups. The leader is already in the EXIT_DEAD state so no one cares about it's pids. The only concern for the leader is that __unhash_process called from release_task will function correctly. If we don't touch the leader at all we know that __unhash_process will work fine so there is no need to touch the leader. For the task becomming the thread group leader, we just need to give it the pid of the old thread group leader, add it to the task list, and attach it to the session and the process group of the thread group. Currently de_thread is also adding the task to the task list which is just silly. Currently the only leader of __detach_pid besides detach_pid is switch_exec_pids because of the ugly extra work that was being performed. So this patch removes switch_exec_pids because it is doing too much, it is creating an unnecessary special case in pid.c, duing work duplicated in de_thread, and generally obscuring what it is going on. The necessary work is added to de_thread, and it seems to be a little clearer there what is going on. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
