trace: Fix preempt_enable_no_resched() abuse
tracing: Fix a memory leak by early error exit in trace_pid_write()
tracing: Fix buffer_ref pipe ops
This fixes multiple issues in buffer_pipe_buf_ops:
- The ->steal() handler must not return zero unless the pipe buffer has
the only reference to the page. But generic_pipe_buf_steal() assumes
that every reference to the pipe is tracked by the page's refcount,
which isn't true for these buffers - buffer_pipe_buf_get(), which
duplicates a buffer, doesn't touch the page's refcount.
Fix it by using generic_pipe_buf_nosteal(), which refuses every
attempted theft. It should be easy to actually support ->steal, but the
only current users of pipe_buf_steal() are the virtio console and FUSE,
and they also only use it as an optimization. So it's probably not worth
the effort.
- The ->get() and ->release() handlers can be invoked concurrently on pipe
buffers backed by the same struct buffer_ref. Make them safe against
concurrency by using refcount_t.
- The pointers stored in ->private were only zeroed out when the last
reference to the buffer_ref was dropped. As far as I know, this
shouldn't be necessary anyway, but if we do it, let's always do it.

Merge page ref overflow branch.
Jann Horn reported that he can overflow the page ref count with
sufficient memory (and a filesystem that is intentionally extremely
slow).
Admittedly it's not exactly easy. To have more than four billion
references to a page requires a minimum of 32GB of kernel memory just
for the pointers to the pages, much less any metadata to keep track of
those pointers. Jann needed a total of 140GB of memory and a specially
crafted filesystem that leaves all reads pending (in order to not ever
free the page references and just keep adding more).
Still, we have a fairly straightforward way to limit the two obvious
user-controllable sources of page references: direct-IO like page
references gotten through get_user_pages(), and the splice pipe page
duplication. So let's just do that.
* branch page-refs:
fs: prevent page refcount overflow in pipe_buf_get
mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount
mm: add 'try_get_page()' helper function
mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit
Change pipe_buf_get() to return a bool indicating whether it succeeded
in raising the refcount of the page (if the thing in the pipe is a page).
This removes another mechanism for overflowing the page refcount. All
callers converted to handle a failure.

Before this patch, it was possible for two pipes to affect each other after
data had been transferred between them with tee():
============
$ cat tee_test.c
int main(void) {
int pipe_a[2];
if (pipe(pipe_a)) err(1, "pipe");
int pipe_b[2];
if (pipe(pipe_b)) err(1, "pipe");
if (write(pipe_a[1], "abcd", 4) != 4) err(1, "write");
if (tee(pipe_a[0], pipe_b[1], 2, 0) != 2) err(1, "tee");
if (write(pipe_b[1], "xx", 2) != 2) err(1, "write");
char buf[5];
if (read(pipe_a[0], buf, 4) != 4) err(1, "read");
buf[4] = 0;
printf("got back: '%s'\n", buf);
}
$ gcc -o tee_test tee_test.c
$ ./tee_test
got back: 'abxx'
$
============
As suggested by Al Viro, fix it by creating a separate type for
non-mergeable pipe buffers, then changing the types of buffers in
splice_pipe_to_pipe() and link_pipe().

A pipe's size is represented as an 'unsigned int'. As expected, writing a
value greater than UINT_MAX to /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size fails with
EINVAL. However, the F_SETPIPE_SZ fcntl silently truncates such values to
32 bits, rather than failing with EINVAL as expected. (It *does* fail
with EINVAL for values above (1 << 31) but <= UINT_MAX.)
Fix this by moving the check against UINT_MAX into round_pipe_size() which
is called in both cases.

pipe_proc_fn() is no longer needed, as it only calls through to
proc_dopipe_max_size(). Just put proc_dopipe_max_size() in the ctl_table
entry directly, and remove the unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the ENOSYS
stub for it.
(The reason the ENOSYS stub isn't needed is that the pipe-max-size
ctl_table entry is located directly in 'kern_table' rather than being
registered separately. Therefore, the entry is already only defined when
the kernel is built with sysctl support.)

Patch series "pipe: buffer limits fixes and cleanups", v2.
This series simplifies the sysctl handler for pipe-max-size and fixes
another set of bugs related to the pipe buffer limits:
- The root user wasn't allowed to exceed the limits when creating new
pipes.
- There was an off-by-one error when checking the limits, so a limit of
N was actually treated as N - 1.
- F_SETPIPE_SZ accepted values over UINT_MAX.
- Reading the pipe buffer limits could be racy.
This patch (of 7):
Before validating the given value against pipe_min_size,
do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv() calls round_pipe_size(), which rounds the
value up to pipe_min_size. Therefore, the second check against
pipe_min_size is redundant. Remove it.

pipe_max_size is assigned directly via procfs sysctl:
static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = {
...
{
.procname = "pipe-max-size",
.data = &pipe_max_size,
.maxlen = sizeof(int),
.mode = 0644,
.proc_handler = &pipe_proc_fn,
.extra1 = &pipe_min_size,
},
...
int pipe_proc_fn(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void __user *buf,
size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos)
{
...
ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(table, write, buf, lenp, ppos)
...
and then later rounded in-place a few statements later:
...
pipe_max_size = round_pipe_size(pipe_max_size);
...
This leaves a window of time between initial assignment and rounding
that may be visible to other threads. (For example, one thread sets a
non-rounded value to pipe_max_size while another reads its value.)
Similar reads of pipe_max_size are potentially racy:
pipe.c :: alloc_pipe_info()
pipe.c :: pipe_set_size()
Add a new proc_dopipe_max_size() that consolidates reading the new value
from the user buffer, verifying bounds, and calling round_pipe_size()
with a single assignment to pipe_max_size.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

On no-so-small systems, it is possible for a single process to cause an
OOM condition by filling large pipes with data that are never read. A
typical process filling 4000 pipes with 1 MB of data will use 4 GB of
memory. On small systems it may be tricky to set the pipe max size to
prevent this from happening.
This patch makes it possible to enforce a per-user soft limit above
which new pipes will be limited to a single page, effectively limiting
them to 4 kB each, as well as a hard limit above which no new pipes may
be created for this user. This has the effect of protecting the system
against memory abuse without hurting other users, and still allowing
pipes to work correctly though with less data at once.
The limit are controlled by two new sysctls : pipe-user-pages-soft, and
pipe-user-pages-hard. Both may be disabled by setting them to zero. The
default soft limit allows the default number of FDs per process (1024)
to create pipes of the default size (64kB), thus reaching a limit of 64MB
before starting to create only smaller pipes. With 256 processes limited
to 1024 FDs each, this results in 1024*64kB + (256*1024 - 1024) * 4kB =
1084 MB of memory allocated for a user. The hard limit is disabled by
default to avoid breaking existing applications that make intensive use
of pipes (eg: for splicing).

The actual internal pipe implementation is already really about
individual packets (called "pipe buffers"), and this simply exposes that
as a special packetized mode.
When we are in the packetized mode (marked by O_DIRECT as suggested by
Alan Cox), a write() on a pipe will not merge the new data with previous
writes, so each write will get a pipe buffer of its own. The pipe
buffer is then marked with the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET flag, which in turn
will tell the reader side to break the read at that boundary (and throw
away any partial packet contents that do not fit in the read buffer).
End result: as long as you do writes less than PIPE_BUF in size (so that
the pipe doesn't have to split them up), you can now treat the pipe as a
packet interface, where each read() system call will read one packet at
a time. You can just use a sufficiently big read buffer (PIPE_BUF is
sufficient, since bigger than that doesn't guarantee atomicity anyway),
and the return value of the read() will naturally give you the size of
the packet.
NOTE! We do not support zero-sized packets, and zero-sized reads and
writes to a pipe continue to be no-ops. Also note that big packets will
currently be split at write time, but that the size at which that
happens is not really specified (except that it's bigger than PIPE_BUF).
Currently that limit is the system page size, but we might want to
explicitly support bigger packets some day.
The main user for this is going to be the autofs packet interface,
allowing us to stop having to care so deeply about exact packet sizes
(which have had bugs with 32/64-bit compatibility modes). But user
space can create packetized pipes with "pipe2(fd, O_DIRECT)", which will
fail with an EINVAL on kernels that do not support this interface.

This avoids some include-file hell, and the function isn't really
important enough to be inlined anyway.

And in particular, use it in 'pipe_fcntl()'.
The other pipe functions do not need to use the 'careful' version, since
they are only ever called for things that are already known to be pipes.
The normal read/write/ioctl functions are called through the file
operations structures, so if a file isn't a pipe, they'd never get
called. But pipe_fcntl() is special, and called directly from the
generic fcntl code, and needs to use the same careful function that the
splice code is using.

This changes the interface to be based on bytes instead. The API
matches that of F_SETPIPE_SZ in that it rounds up the passed in
size so that the resulting page array is a power-of-2 in size.
The proc file is renamed to /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size to
reflect this change.

We need at least two to guarantee proper POSIX behaviour, so
never allow a smaller limit than that.
Also expose a /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-pages sysctl file that allows
root to define a sane upper limit. Make it default to 16 times the
default size, which is 16 pages.

This patch adds F_GETPIPE_SZ and F_SETPIPE_SZ fcntl() actions for
growing and shrinking the size of a pipe and adjusts pipe.c and splice.c
(and relay and network splice) usage to work with these larger (or smaller)
pipes.

If f_op->splice_read() is not implemented, fall back to a plain read.
Use vfs_readv() to read into previously allocated pages.
This will allow splice and functions using splice, such as the loop
device, to work on all filesystems. This includes "direct_io" files
in fuse which bypass the page cache.

There are lots of sequences like this, especially in splice code:
if (pipe->inode)
mutex_lock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex);
/* do something */
if (pipe->inode)
mutex_unlock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex);
so introduce helpers which do the conditional locking and unlocking.
Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock()
helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the
pipe code.
This patch is just a cleanup, and should cause no behavioral changes.

As per Andrew Mortons request, here's a set of documentation for
the generic pipe_buf_operations hooks, the pipe, and pipe_buffer
structures.

The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer
in the most commonly used sense in the kernel. So change the
name to 'confirm', after debating this issue with Hugh
Dickins a bit.
A good return from ->confirm() means that the buffer is really
there, and that the contents are good.

relay needs this for proper consumption handling, and the network

We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use
the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of
pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header
file finally.

A bit of a cheat, it actually just copies the data to userspace. But
this makes the interface nice and symmetric and enables people to build
on splice, with room for future improvement in performance.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
For direct splicing (or private splicing), the output may not be a file.
So abstract out the handling into a specified actor function and put
the data in the splice_desc structure earlier, so we can build on top
of that.
This is the first step in better splice handling for drivers, and also
for implementing vmsplice _to_ user memory.

There's really no reason it's below the first use of the pointer
type, and it'll fail compilation for the network addition (for good
reason). So move it up a bit.

Ocfs2 wants to implement it's own splice write actor so that it can better
manage cluster / page locks. This lets us re-use the rest of splice write
while only providing our own code where it's actually important.

Fields of struct pipe_buf_operations have not a precise layout (ie not
optimized to fit cache lines nor reduce cache line ping pongs)
The bufs[] array is *large* and is placed near the beginning of the
structure, so all following fields have a large offset. This is
unfortunate because many archs have smaller instructions when using small
offsets relative to a base register. On x86 for example, 7 bits offsets
have smaller instruction lengths.
Moving bufs[] at the end of pipe_buf_operations permits all fields to have
small offsets, and reduce text size, and icache pressure.
# size vmlinux.pre vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename

So this patch reduces text size by 224 bytes on my x86_64 machine. Similar
results on ia32.
