* UPSTREAM: kernfs: Check KERNFS_HAS_RELEASE before calling kernfs_release_file()Vaibhav Jain2022-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently started seeing a kernel oops when a module tries removing a memory mapped sysfs bin_attribute. On closer investigation the root cause seems to be kernfs_release_file() trying to call kernfs_op.release() callback that's NULL for such sysfs bin_attributes. The oops occurs when kernfs_release_file() is called from kernfs_drain_open_files() to cleanup any open handles with active memory mappings. The patch fixes this by checking for flag KERNFS_HAS_RELEASE before calling kernfs_release_file() in function kernfs_drain_open_files(). On ppc64-le arch with cxl module the oops back-trace is of the form below: [ 861.381126] Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch [ 861.381360] Faulting instruction address: 0x00000000 [ 861.381428] Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] ....

* UPSTREAM: kernfs: fix locking around kernfs_ops->release() callbackTejun Heo2022-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The release callback may be called from two places - file release operation and kernfs open file draining. kernfs_open_file->mutex is used to synchronize the two callsites. This unfortunately leads to possible circular locking because of->mutex is used to protect the usual kernfs operations which may use locking constructs which are held while removing and thus draining kernfs files. @of->mutex is for synchronizing concurrent kernfs access operations and all we need here is synchronization between the releaes and drain paths. As the drain path has to grab kernfs_open_file_mutex anyway, let's use the mutex to synchronize the release operation instead.

* fs: Add user namespace member to struct super_blockEric W. Biederman2022-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Start marking filesystems with a user namespace owner, s_user_ns. In this change this is only used for permission checks of who may mount a filesystem. Ultimately s_user_ns will be used for translating ids and checking capabilities for filesystems mounted from user namespaces. The default policy for setting s_user_ns is implemented in sget(), which arranges for s_user_ns to be set to current_user_ns() and to ensure that the mounter of the filesystem has CAP_SYS_ADMIN in that user_ns. The guts of sget are split out into another function sget_userns(). The function sget_userns calls alloc_super with the specified user namespace or it verifies the existing superblock that was found has the expected user namespace, and fails with EBUSY when it is not. This failing prevents users with the wrong privileges mounting a filesystem. The reason for the split of sget_userns from sget is that in some cases such as mount_ns and kernfs_mount_ns a different policy for permission checking of mounts and setting s_user_ns is necessary, and the existence of sget_userns() allows those policies to be implemented. The helper mount_ns is expected to be used for filesystems such as proc and mqueuefs which present per namespace information. The function mount_ns is modified to call sget_userns instead of sget to ensure the user namespace owner of the namespace whose information is presented by the filesystem is used on the superblock. For sysfs and cgroup the appropriate permission checks are already in place, and kernfs_mount_ns is modified to call sget_userns so that the init_user_ns is the only user namespace used. For the cgroup filesystem cgroup namespace mounts are bind mounts of a subset of the full cgroup filesystem and as such s_user_ns must be the same for all of them as there is only a single superblock. Mounts of sysfs that vary based on the network namespace could in principle change s_user_ns but it keeps the analysis and implementation of kernfs simpler if that is not supported, and at present there appear to be no benefits from supporting a different s_user_ns on any sysfs mount. Getting the details of setting s_user_ns correct has been a long process. Thanks to Pavel Tikhorirorv who spotted a leak in sget_userns. Thanks to Seth Forshee who has kept the work alive.

* kernfs: make kernfs_path*() behave in the style of strlcpy()Tejun Heo2022-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kernfs_path*() functions always return the length of the full path but the path content is undefined if the length is larger than the provided buffer. This makes its behavior different from strlcpy() and requires error handling in all its users even when they don't care about truncation. In addition, the implementation can actully be simplified by making it behave properly in strlcpy() style. * Update kernfs_path_from_node_locked() to always fill up the buffer with path. If the buffer is not large enough, the output is truncated and terminated. * kernfs_path() no longer needs error handling. Make it a simple inline wrapper around kernfs_path_from_node(). * sysfs_warn_dup()'s use of kernfs_path() doesn't need error handling. Updated accordingly. * cgroup_path()'s use of kernfs_path() updated to retain the old behavior.

* kernfs_path_from_node_locked: don't overwrite nlenSerge Hallyn2022-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've calculated @len to be the bytes we need for '/..' entries from @kn_from to the common ancestor, and calculated @nlen to be the extra bytes we need to get from the common ancestor to @kn_to. We use them as such at the end. But in the loop copying the actual entries, we overwrite @nlen. Use a temporary variable for that instead. Without this, the return length, when the buffer is large enough, is wrong. (When the buffer is NULL or too small, the returned value is correct. The buffer contents are also correct.) Interestingly, no callers of this function are affected by this as of yet. However the upcoming cgroup_show_path() will be.

* BACKPORT: fs: kernfs: add poll file operationJohannes Weiner2022-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* cgroup, kernfs: make mountinfo show properly scoped path for cgroup namespacesSerge E. Hallyn2022-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch summary: When showing a cgroupfs entry in mountinfo, show the path of the mount root dentry relative to the reader's cgroup namespace root. Short explanation (courtesy of mkerrisk): If we create a new cgroup namespace, then we want both /proc/self/cgroup and /proc/self/mountinfo to show cgroup paths that are correctly virtualized with respect to the cgroup mount point. Previous to this patch, /proc/self/cgroup shows the right info, but /proc/self/mountinfo does not. Long version: When a uid 0 task which is in freezer cgroup /a/b, unshares a new cgroup namespace, and then mounts a new instance of the freezer cgroup, the new mount will be rooted at /a/b. The root dentry field of the mountinfo entry will show '/a/b'. cat > /tmp/do1 << EOF mount -t cgroup -o freezer freezer /mnt grep freezer /proc/self/mountinfo EOF unshare -Gm bash /tmp/do1 > 330 160 0:34 / /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime - cgroup cgroup rw,freezer > 355 133 0:34 /a/b /mnt rw,relatime - cgroup freezer rw,freezer The task's freezer cgroup entry in /proc/self/cgroup will simply show '/': grep freezer /proc/self/cgroup 9:freezer:/ If instead the same task simply bind mounts the /a/b cgroup directory, the resulting mountinfo entry will again show /a/b for the dentry root. However in this case the task will find its own cgroup at /mnt/a/b, not at /mnt: mount --bind /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/a/b /mnt 130 25 0:34 /a/b /mnt rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:21 - cgroup cgroup rw,freezer In other words, there is no way for the task to know, based on what is in mountinfo, which cgroup directory is its own. Example (by mkerrisk): First, a little script to save some typing and verbiage: echo -e "\t/proc/self/cgroup:\t$(cat /proc/self/cgroup | grep freezer)" cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep freezer | awk '{print "\tmountinfo:\t\t" $4 "\t" $5}' Create cgroup, place this shell into the cgroup, and look at the state of the /proc files: 2653 2653 # Our shell 14254 # cat(1) /proc/self/cgroup: 10:freezer:/a/b mountinfo: / /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer Create a shell in new cgroup and mount namespaces. The act of creating a new cgroup namespace causes the process's current cgroups directories to become its cgroup root directories. (Here, I'm using my own version of the "unshare" utility, which takes the same options as the util-linux version): Look at the state of the /proc files: /proc/self/cgroup: 10:freezer:/ mountinfo: / /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer The third entry in /proc/self/cgroup (the pathname of the cgroup inside the hierarchy) is correctly virtualized w.r.t. the cgroup namespace, which is rooted at /a/b in the outer namespace. However, the info in /proc/self/mountinfo is not for this cgroup namespace, since we are seeing a duplicate of the mount from the old mount namespace, and the info there does not correspond to the new cgroup namespace. However, trying to create a new mount still doesn't show us the right information in mountinfo: # propagating to other mountns /proc/self/cgroup: 7:freezer:/ mountinfo: /a/b /mnt/freezer The act of creating a new cgroup namespace caused the process's current freezer directory, "/a/b", to become its cgroup freezer root directory. In other words, the pathname directory of the directory within the newly mounted cgroup filesystem should be "/", but mountinfo wrongly shows us "/a/b". The consequence of this is that the process in the cgroup namespace cannot correctly construct the pathname of its cgroup root directory from the information in /proc/PID/mountinfo. With this patch, the dentry root field in mountinfo is shown relative to the reader's cgroup namespace. So the same steps as above: /proc/self/cgroup: 10:freezer:/a/b mountinfo: / /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer /proc/self/cgroup: 10:freezer:/ mountinfo: /../.. /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer /proc/self/cgroup: 10:freezer:/ mountinfo: / /mnt/freezer cgroup.clone_children freezer.parent_freezing freezer.state tasks cgroup.procs freezer.self_freezing notify_on_release 3164 2653 # First shell that placed in this cgroup 3164 # Shell started by 'unshare' 14197 # cat(1) Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@ubuntu.com> Tested-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Acked-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Chatur27 <jasonbright2709@gmail.com>

Instead, it looked up the inode and then used d_find_any_alias() to find the dentry and used fsnotify_parent() and fsnotify() directly to generate notifications. The assumption was that the relevant dentries would have been pinned if there are listeners, which isn't true as inotify doesn't pin dentries at all and watching the parent doesn't pin the child dentries even for dnotify. This led to, for example, inotify watchers not getting notifications if the system is under memory pressure and the matching dentries got reclaimed. It can also be triggered through /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches or a remount attempt which involves shrinking dcache. fsnotify_parent() only uses the dentry to access the parent inode, which kernfs can do easily. Update kernfs_notify_workfn() so that it uses fsnotify() directly for both the parent and target inodes without going through d_find_any_alias(). While at it, supply the target file name to fsnotify() from kernfs_node->name.

Some hacks were put in place to reduce the worst of the damage could be done, and the common sense rule was adopted that fresh mounts of proc and sysfs should allow no more than bind mounts of proc and sysfs. Unfortunately that rule has not been fully enforced. There are two kinds of gaps in that enforcement. Only filesystems mounted on empty directories of proc and sysfs should be ignored but the test for empty directories was insufficient. So in my tree directories on proc, sysctl and sysfs that will always be empty are created specially. Every other technique is imperfect as an ordinary directory can have entries added even after a readdir returns and shows that the directory is empty. Special creation of directories for mount points makes the code in the kernel a smidge clearer about it's purpose. I asked container developers from the various container projects to help test this and no holes were found in the set of mount points on proc and sysfs that are created specially. This set of changes also starts enforcing the mount flags of fresh mounts of proc and sysfs are consistent with the existing mount of proc and sysfs. I expected this to be the boring part of the work but unfortunately unprivileged userspace winds up mounting fresh copies of proc and sysfs with noexec and nosuid clear when root set those flags on the previous mount of proc and sysfs. So for now only the atime, read-only and nodev attributes which userspace happens to keep consistent are enforced. Dealing with the noexec and nosuid attributes remains for another time. This set of changes also addresses an issue with how open file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/ns/* are displayed. Recently readlink of /proc/<pid>/fd has been triggering a WARN_ON that has not been meaningful since it was added (as all of the code in the kernel was converted) and is not now actively wrong. There is also a short list of issues that have not been fixed yet that I will mention briefly. It is possible to rename a directory from below to above a bind mount. At which point any directory pointers below the renamed directory can be walked up to the root directory of the filesystem. With user namespaces enabled a bind mount of the bind mount can be created allowing the user to pick a directory whose children they can rename to outside of the bind mount. This is challenging to fix and doubly so because all obvious solutions must touch code that is in the performance part of pathname resolution. As mentioned above there is also a question of how to ensure that developers by accident or with purpose do not introduce exectuable files on sysfs and proc and in doing so introduce security regressions in the current userspace that will not be immediately obvious and as such are likely to require breaking userspace in painful ways once they are recognized" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: vfs: Remove incorrect debugging WARN in prepend_path mnt: Update fs_fully_visible to test for permanently empty directories sysfs: Create mountpoints with sysfs_create_mount_point sysfs: Add support for permanently empty directories to serve as mount points. kernfs: Add support for always empty directories. proc: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mount points sysctl: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mountpoints. fs: Add helper functions for permanently empty directories. vfs: Ignore unlocked mounts in fs_fully_visible mnt: Modify fs_fully_visible to deal with locked ro nodev and atime mnt: Refactor the logic for mounting sysfs and proc in a user namespace

Since IDA has a layered structure, different IDs can reside on the same layer, which is currently accounted to some memory cgroup. The problem is that each kmem cache of a memory cgroup has its own directory on sysfs (under /sys/fs/kernel/<cache-name>/cgroup). If the inode number of such a directory or any file in it gets allocated from a layer accounted to the cgroup which the cache is created for, the cgroup will get pinned for good, because one has to free all kmem allocations accounted to a cgroup in order to release it and destroy all its kmem caches. That said we must not account layers of ino_ida to any memory cgroup. Since per net init operations may create new sysfs entries directly (e.g. lo device) or indirectly (nf_conntrack creates a new kmem cache per each namespace, which, in turn, creates new sysfs entries), an easy way to reproduce this issue is by creating network namespace(s) from inside a kmem-active memory cgroup.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To match the previous patch which used the pre-alloc buffer for writes, this patch causes reads to use the same buffer. This is not strictly necessary as the current seq_read() will allocate on first read, so user-space can trigger the required pre-alloc. But consistency is valuable. The read function is somewhat simpler than seq_read() and, for example, does not support reading from an offset into the file: reads must be at the start of the file. As seq_read() does not use the prealloc buffer, ->seq_show is incompatible with ->prealloc and caused an EINVAL return from open(). sysfs code which calls into kernfs always chooses the correct function. As the buffer is shared with writes and other reads, the mutex is extended to cover the copy_to_user.

A various times, particularly on device failure, the metadata needs to be updated before further writes can be permitted. This means that the user-space program which updates metadata much not block on writeout, and so must not allocate memory. mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE) and pre-allocation can avoid all memory allocation issues for user-memory, but that does not help kernel memory. Several kernel objects can be pre-allocated. e.g. files opened before any writes to the array are permitted. However some kernel allocation happens in places that cannot be pre-allocated. In particular, writes to sysfs files (to tell md that it can now allow writes to the array) allocate a buffer using GFP_KERNEL. This patch allows attributes to be marked as "PREALLOC". In that case the maximal buffer is allocated when the file is opened, and then used on each write instead of allocating a new buffer. As the same buffer is now shared for all writes on the same file description, the mutex is extended to cover full use of the buffer including the copy_from_user(). The new __ATTR_PREALLOC() 'or's a new flag in to the 'mode', which is inspected by sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() to determine if the file should be marked as requiring prealloc. Despite the comment, we *do* use ->seq_show together with ->prealloc in this patch. The next patch fixes that.

| * kernfs, sysfs, cgroup: restrict extra perm check on open to sysfsTejun Heo2014-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernfs open method - kernfs_fop_open() - inherited extra permission checks from sysfs. While the vfs layer allows ignoring the read/write permissions checks if the issuer has CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE, sysfs explicitly denied open regardless of the cap if the file doesn't have any of the UGO perms of the requested access or doesn't implement the requested operation. It can be debated whether this was a good idea or not but the behavior is too subtle and dangerous to change at this point. After cgroup got converted to kernfs, this extra perm check also got applied to cgroup breaking libcgroup which opens write-only files with O_RDWR as root. This patch gates the extra open permission check with a new flag KERNFS_ROOT_EXTRA_OPEN_PERM_CHECK and enables it for sysfs. For sysfs, nothing changes. For cgroup, root now can perform any operation regardless of the permissions as it was before kernfs conversion. Note that kernfs still fails unimplemented operations with -EINVAL. While at it, add comments explaining KERNFS_ROOT flags.
