* fs/proc: use a rb tree for the directory entriesNicolas Dichtel2014-12-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a lot of netdevices are created, one of the bottleneck is the creation of proc entries. This serie aims to accelerate this part. The current implementation for the directories in /proc is using a single linked list. This is slow when handling directories with large numbers of entries (eg netdevice-related entries when lots of tunnels are opened). This patch replaces this linked list by a red-black tree. Here are some numbers: dummy30000.batch contains 30 000 times 'link add type dummy'. Before the patch: $ time ip -b dummy30000.batch real 2m31.950s user 0m0.440s sys 2m21.440s $ time rmmod dummy real 1m35.764s user 0m0.000s sys 1m24.088s After the patch: $ time ip -b dummy30000.batch real 2m0.874s user 0m0.448s sys 1m49.720s $ time rmmod dummy real 1m13.988s user 0m0.000s sys 1m1.008s The idea of improving this part was suggested by Thierry Herbelot.

* Revert "proc: Point /proc/{mounts,net} at /proc/thread-self/{mounts,net} ↵Linus Torvalds2014-08-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | instead of /proc/self/{mounts,net}" This reverts commits 344470cac42e and e81324407269. It turns out that the exact path in the symlink matters, if for somewhat unfortunate reasons: some apparmor configurations don't allow dhclient access to the per-thread /proc files. As reported by Jörg Otte: audit: type=1400 audit(1407684227.003:28): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="/sbin/dhclient" name="/proc/1540/task/1540/net/dev" pid=1540 comm="dhclient" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0 so we had better revert this for now. We might be able to work around this in practice by only using the per-thread symlinks if the thread isn't the thread group leader, and if the namespaces differ between threads (which basically never happens). We'll see. In the meantime, the revert was made to be intentionally easy. Reported-by: Jörg Otte <jrg.otte@gmail.com> Acked-by: Eric W.

* proc: Point /proc/net at /proc/thread-self/net instead of /proc/self/netEric W. Biederman2014-08-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | In oddball cases where the thread has a different network namespace than the primary thread group leader or more likely in cases where the thread remains and the thread group leader has exited this ensures that /proc/net continues to work. This should not cause any problems but if it does this patch can just be reverted. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
* namespaces: Use task_lock and not rcu to protect nsproxyEric W. Biederman2014-07-291-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The synchronous syncrhonize_rcu in switch_task_namespaces makes setns a sufficiently expensive system call that people have complained. Upon inspect nsproxy no longer needs rcu protection for remote reads. remote reads are rare. So optimize for same process reads and write by switching using rask_lock instead. This yields a simpler to understand lock, and a faster setns system call. In particular this fixes a performance regression observed by Rafael David Tinoco <rafael.tinoco@canonical.com>. This is effectively a revert of Pavel Emelyanov's commit cf7b708c8d1d7a27736771bcf4c457b332b0f818 Make access to task's nsproxy lighter from 2007. The race this originialy fixed no longer exists as do_notify_parent uses task_active_pid_ns(parent) instead of parent->nsproxy. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

* proc: make struct proc_dir_entry::name a terminal array rather than a pointerDavid Howells2011-07-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since __proc_create() appends the name it is given to the end of the PDE structure that it allocates, there isn't a need to store a name pointer. Instead we can just replace the name pointer with a terminal char array of _unspecified_ length. The compiler will simply append the string to statically defined variables of PDE type overlapping any hole at the end of the structure and, unlike specifying an explicitly _zero_ length array, won't give a warning if you try to statically initialise it with a string of more than zero length. Also, whilst we're at it: (1) Move namelen to end just prior to name and reduce it to a single byte (name shouldn't be longer than NAME_MAX). (2) Move pde_unload_lock two places further on so that if it's four bytes in size on a 64-bit machine, it won't cause an unused hole in the PDE struct.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* proc: stop using BKLAlexey Dobriyan2009-01-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are four BKL users in proc: de_put(), proc_lookup_de(), proc_readdir_de(), proc_root_readdir(), 1) de_put() ----------- de_put() is classic atomic_dec_and_test() refcount wrapper -- no BKL needed. BKL doesn't matter to possible refcount leak as well. 2) proc_lookup_de() ------------------- Walking PDE list is protected by proc_subdir_lock(), proc_get_inode() is potentially blocking, all callers of proc_lookup_de() eventually end up from ->lookup hooks which is protected by directory's ->i_mutex -- BKL doesn't protect anything. 3) proc_readdir_de() -------------------- "." and ".." part doesn't need BKL, walking PDE list is under proc_subdir_lock, calling filldir callback is potentially blocking because it writes to luserspace. All proc_readdir_de() callers eventually come from ->readdir hook which is under directory's ->i_mutex -- BKL doesn't protect anything. 4) proc_root_readdir_de() ------------------------- proc_root_readdir_de is ->readdir hook, see (3). Since readdir hooks doesn't use BKL anymore, switch to generic_file_llseek, since it also takes directory's i_mutex. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

* [NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)Pavel Emelyanov2008-03-071-28/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current /proc/net is done with so called "shadows", but current implementation is broken and has little chances to get fixed. The problem is that dentries subtree of /proc/net directory has fancy revalidation rules to make processes living in different net namespaces see different entries in /proc/net subtree, but currently, tasks see in the /proc/net subdir the contents of any other namespace, depending on who opened the file first. The proposed fix is to turn /proc/net into a symlink, which points to /proc/self/net, which in turn shows what previously was in /proc/net - the network-related info, from the net namespace the appropriate task lives in. # ls -l /proc/net lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 5 15:17 /proc/net -> self/net In other words - this behaves like /proc/mounts, but unlike "mounts", "net" is not a file, but a directory.

* proc: fix ->open'less usage due to ->proc_fops flipAlexey Dobriyan2008-02-081-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Typical PDE creation code looks like: pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL); if (pde) pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops; Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to final value. This is a problem because right after creation a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below). The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like: pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops); if (!pde) return -ENOMEM; Fix most networking users for a start.

* [NETNS]: Fix /proc/net breakageEric W. Biederman2007-12-021-81/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Well I clearly goofed when I added the initial network namespace support for /proc/net. Currently things work but there are odd details visible to user space, even when we have a single network namespace. Since we do not cache proc_dir_entry dentries at the moment we can just modify ->lookup to return a different directory inode depending on the network namespace of the process looking at /proc/net, replacing the current technique of using a magic and fragile follow_link method. To accomplish that this patch: - introduces a shadow_proc method to allow different dentries to be returned from proc_lookup. - Removes the old /proc/net follow_link magic - Fixes a weakness in our not caching of proc generic dentries. As shadow_proc uses a task struct to decided which dentry to return we can go back later and fix the proc generic caching without modifying any code that uses the shadow_proc method.

This is safe after list operations cleanup. Signed-of-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [NET]: Marking struct pernet_operations __net_initdata was inappropriateEric W. Biederman2007-10-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is not safe to to place struct pernet_operations in a special section. We need struct pernet_operations to last until we call unregister_pernet_subsys. Which doesn't happen until module unload. So marking struct pernet_operations is a disaster for modules in two ways. - We discard it before we call the exit method it points to. - Because I keep struct pernet_operations on a linked list discarding it for compiled in code removes elements in the middle of a linked list and does horrible things for linked insert. So this looks safe assuming __exit_refok is not discarded for modules. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=nPavel Emelyanov2007-10-101-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section, thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before. Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot. Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes" for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS is not set to save more space in memory. The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section, as noticed by David, since the init section will have references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already done with the __init_refok.

* [NET]: Fix race when opening a proc file while a network namespace is exiting.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-101-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem: proc_net files remember which network namespace the are against but do not remember hold a reference count (as that would pin the network namespace). So we currently have a small window where the reference count on a network namespace may be incremented when opening a /proc file when it has already gone to zero. To fix this introduce maybe_get_net and get_proc_net. maybe_get_net increments the network namespace reference count only if it is greater then zero, ensuring we don't increment a reference count after it has gone to zero. get_proc_net handles all of the magic to go from a proc inode to the network namespace instance and call maybe_get_net on it. PROC_NET the old accessor is removed so that we don't get confused and use the wrong helper function. Then I fix up the callers to use get_proc_net and handle the case case where get_proc_net returns NULL. In that case I return -ENXIO because effectively the network namespace has already gone away so the files we are trying to access don't exist anymore. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
