* splice: fix kmaps in default_file_splice_write()Miklos Szeredi2009-05-191-108/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unfortunately multiple kmap() within a single thread are deadlockable, so writing out multiple buffers with writev() isn't possible. Change the implementation so that it does a separate write() for each buffer. This actually simplifies the code a lot since the splice_from_pipe() helper can be used. This limitation is caused by HIGHMEM pages, and so only affects a subset of architectures and configurations. In the future it may be worth to implement default_file_splice_write() in a more efficient way on configs that allow it.

| | | | | | | | | | | If f_op->splice_write() is not implemented, fall back to a plain write. Use vfs_writev() to write from the pipe buffers. This will allow splice on all filesystems and file types. This includes "direct_io" files in fuse which bypass the page cache.

* splice: implement pipe to pipe splicingMiklos Szeredi2009-05-111-11/+151
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow splice(2) to work when both the input and the output is a pipe. Based on the impementation of the tee(2) syscall, but instead of duplicating the buffer references move the buffers from the input pipe to the output pipe. Moving the whole buffer only succeeds if the full length of the buffer is spliced. Otherwise duplicate the buffer, just like tee(2), set the length of the output buffer and advance the offset on the input buffer. Since splice is operating on two pipes, special care needs to be taken with locking to prevent AN ABBA deadlock. Again this is done similarly to the tee(2) syscall, first preparing the input and output pipes so there's data to consume and space for that data, and then doing the move operation while holding both locks. If other processes are doing I/O on the same pipes parallel to the splice, then by the time both inodes are locked there might be no buffers left to move, or no space to move them to. In this case retry the whole operation, including the preparation phase. This could lead to starvation, but I'm not sure if that's serious enough to worry about.

* splice: add helpers for locking pipe inodeMiklos Szeredi2009-04-151-29/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

This is necessary so that implementations can do locking around the non-waiting splice_from_pipe_feed(). This patch should not cause any change in behavior.

* splice: fix deadlock in splicing to fileMiklos Szeredi2009-04-071-5/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a possible deadlock in generic_file_splice_write(), splice_from_pipe() and ocfs2_file_splice_write(): - task A calls generic_file_splice_write() - this calls inode_double_lock(), which locks i_mutex on both pipe->inode and target inode - ordering depends on inode pointers, can happen that pipe->inode is locked first - __splice_from_pipe() needs more data, calls pipe_wait() - this releases lock on pipe->inode, goes to interruptible sleep - task B calls generic_file_splice_write(), similarly to the first - this locks pipe->inode, then tries to lock inode, but that is already held by task A - task A is interrupted, it tries to lock pipe->inode, but fails, as it is already held by task B - ABBA deadlock Fix this by explicitly ordering locks: the outer lock must be on target inode and the inner lock (which is later unlocked and relocked) must be on pipe->inode. This is OK, pipe inodes and target inodes form two nonoverlapping sets, generic_file_splice_write() and friends are not called with a target which is a pipe.

* FS-Cache: Recruit a page flags for cache managementDavid Howells2009-04-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recruit a page flag to aid in cache management. The following extra flag is defined: (1) PG_fscache (PG_private_2) The marked page is backed by a local cache and is pinning resources in the cache driver. If PG_fscache is set, then things that checked for PG_private will now also check for that. This includes things like truncation and page invalidation. The function page_has_private() had been added to make the checks for both PG_private and PG_private_2 at the same time.

* memcg: synchronized LRUKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-01-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A big patch for changing memcg's LRU semantics. Now, - page_cgroup is linked to mem_cgroup's its own LRU (per zone). - LRU of page_cgroup is not synchronous with global LRU. - page and page_cgroup is one-to-one and statically allocated. - To find page_cgroup is on what LRU, you have to check pc->mem_cgroup as - lru = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc, nid_of_pc, zid_of_pc); - SwapCache is handled. And, when we handle LRU list of page_cgroup, we do following. pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page); lock_page_cgroup(pc); .....................(1) mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc); spin_lock(&mz->lru_lock); .....add to LRU spin_unlock(&mz->lru_lock); unlock_page_cgroup(pc); But (1) is spin_lock and we have to be afraid of dead-lock with zone->lru_lock. So, trylock() is used at (1), now. Without (1), we can't trust "mz" is correct. This is a trial to remove this dirty nesting of locks. This patch changes mz->lru_lock to be zone->lru_lock. Then, above sequence will be written as spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU mem_cgroup_add/remove/etc_lru() { pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page); mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc); if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) { ....add to LRU } spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU This is much simpler. (*) We're safe even if we don't take lock_page_cgroup(pc). Because.. 1. When pc->mem_cgroup can be modified. - at charge. - at account_move(). 2. at charge the PCG_USED bit is not set before pc->mem_cgroup is fixed. 3. at account_move() the page is isolated and not on LRU. Pros. - easy for maintenance. - memcg can make use of laziness of pagevec. - we don't have to duplicated LRU/Active/Unevictable bit in page_cgroup. - LRU status of memcg will be synchronized with global LRU's one. - # of locks are reduced. - account_move() is simplified very much. Cons. - may increase cost of LRU rotation. (no impact if memcg is not configured.)

* Don't allow splice() to files opened with O_APPENDLinus Torvalds2008-10-091-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination. It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example. So we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones. But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought, and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file). So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now. I doubt anybody cares, and this way we have one less gray area to worry about.

* splice: fix generic_file_splice_read() race with page invalidationMiklos Szeredi2008-07-041-4/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a page was invalidated during splicing from file to a pipe, then generic_file_splice_read() could return a short or zero count. This manifested itself in rare I/O errors seen on nfs exported fuse filesystems. This is because nfsd uses splice_direct_to_actor() to read files, and fuse uses invalidate_inode_pages2() to invalidate stale data on open. Fix by redoing the page find/create if it was found to be truncated (invalidated).

This allows programs to be given a subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers. This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php. For more information on how to use this patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html. Changelog: Nov 27: Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton (security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix) Fix Kconfig dependency. Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in. Nov 13: Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t. Nov 13: Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey Dobriyan. Nov 09: Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper function. Nov 08: For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html. Nov 07: Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in check_cap_sanity(). Nov 07: Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since capabilities are the default. Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY. Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce audit messages. Nov 05: Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file cap support can be stacked. Sep 05: As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place for capability code. Sep 01: Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which they called a program with some fscaps. One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a cpuset? It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check. But since it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check, fixing it might be tough. task_setscheduler note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task. Are we ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset? task_setioprio task_setnice sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another process. Need same checks as setrlimit Aug 21: Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process might still have elevated caps. Aug 15: Handle endianness of xattrs. Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk. Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are set, else return -EPERM. With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than d_instantiate. Aug 10: Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than caching it at d_instantiate.

* Fix possible splice() mmap_sem deadlockLinus Torvalds2007-10-011-12/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nick Piggin points out that splice isn't being good about the mmap semaphore: while two readers can nest inside each others, it does leave a possible deadlock if a writer (ie a new mmap()) comes in during that nesting. Original "just move the locking" patch by Nick, replaced by one by me based on an optimistic pagefault_disable(). And then Jens tested and updated that patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | If add_to_page_cache_lru() fails, the page will not be locked. But splice jumps to an error path that does a page release and unlock, causing a BUG() in unlock_page(). Fix this by adding one more label that just releases the page. This bug was actually triggered on EL5 by gurudas pai <gurudas.pai@oracle.com> using fio.

* readahead: split ondemand readahead interface into two functionsRusty Russell2007-07-191-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Split ondemand readahead interface into two functions. I think this makes it a little clearer for non-readahead experts (like Rusty). Internally they both call ondemand_readahead(), but the page argument is changed to an obvious boolean flag.

* readahead: pass real splice sizeFengguang Wu2007-07-191-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass real splice size to page_cache_readahead_ondemand(). The splice code works in chunks of 16 pages internally. The readahead code should be told of the overall splice size, instead of the internal chunk size. Otherwize bad things may happen. Imagine some 17-page random splice reads. The code before this patch will result in two readahead calls: readahead(16); readahead(1); That leads to one 16-page I/O and one 32-page I/O: one extra I/O and 31 readahead miss pages.

* readahead: move synchronous readahead call out of splice loopFengguang Wu2007-07-191-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move synchronous page_cache_readahead_ondemand() call out of splice loop. This avoids one pointless page allocation/insertion in case of non-zero ra_pages, or many pointless readahead calls in case of zero ra_pages. Note that if a user sets ra_pages to less than PIPE_BUFFERS=16 pages, he will not get expected readahead behavior anyway. The splice code works in batches of 16 pages, which can be taken as another form of synchronous readahead.

* splice: direct splicing updates ppos twiceJens Axboe2007-07-161-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> reported that he's noticed nfsd read corruption in recent kernels, and did the hard work of discovering that it's due to splice updating the file position twice. This means that the next operation would start further ahead than it should. nfsd_vfs_read() splice_direct_to_actor() while(len) { do_splice_to() [update sd->pos] -> generic_file_splice_read() [read from sd->pos] nfsd_direct_splice_actor() -> __splice_from_pipe() [update sd->pos] There's nothing wrong with the core splice code, but the direct splicing is an addon that calls both input and output paths. So it has to take care in locally caching offset so it remains correct. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
