| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in vmstat: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 1 0 608848 2652 375372 0 0 0 71024 604 24 1 10 48 42 0 1 0 549644 2712 433736 0 0 0 60692 505 27 1 8 48 44 1 0 0 476928 2784 505192 0 0 4 29540 553 24 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 457972 2808 524008 0 0 0 54876 331 16 0 4 38 58 0 1 0 366128 2928 614284 0 0 4 92168 710 58 0 13 53 34 0 1 0 295092 3000 684140 0 0 0 62924 572 23 0 9 53 37 0 1 0 236592 3064 741704 0 0 4 58256 523 17 0 8 48 44 0 1 0 165608 3132 811464 0 0 0 57460 560 21 0 8 54 38 0 1 0 102952 3200 873164 0 0 4 74748 540 29 1 10 48 41 0 1 0 48604 3252 926472 0 0 0 53248 469 29 0 7 47 45 where vanilla tends to fluctuate a lot in the creation phase: r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 1 1 0 678716 5792 303380 0 0 0 74064 565 50 1 11 52 36 1 0 0 662488 5864 319396 0 0 4 352 302 329 0 2 47 51 0 1 0 599312 5924 381468 0 0 0 78164 516 55 0 9 51 40 0 1 0 519952 6008 459516 0 0 4 78156 622 56 1 11 52 37 1 1 0 436640 6092 541632 0 0 0 82244 622 54 0 11 48 41 0 1 0 436640 6092 541660 0 0 0 8 152 39 0 0 51 49 0 1 0 332224 6200 644252 0 0 4 102800 728 46 1 13 49 36 1 0 0 274492 6260 701056 0 0 4 12328 459 49 0 7 50 43 0 1 0 211220 6324 763356 0 0 0 106940 515 37 1 10 51 39 1 0 0 160412 6376 813468 0 0 0 8224 415 43 0 6 49 45 1 1 0 85980 6452 886556 0 0 4 113516 575 39 1 11 54 34 0 2 0 85968 6452 886620 0 0 0 1640 158 211 0 0 46 54 A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. A SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed writes. A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term, adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
| * writeback: move dirty inodes from super_block to backing_dev_infoJens Axboe2009-09-112-73/+127
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a first step at introducing per-bdi flusher threads. We should have no change in behaviour, although sb_has_dirty_inodes() is now ridiculously expensive, as there's no easy way to answer that question. Not a huge problem, since it'll be deleted in subsequent patches. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

This generates EFAULT. Here is a small test case. (Yes, there are other, useful PT_INTERP which have only .text and no .data/.bss.) ----- ptinterp.S _start: .globl _start nop int3 ----- $ gcc -m32 -nostartfiles -nostdlib -o ptinterp ptinterp.S $ gcc -m32 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=ptinterp -o hello hello.c $ ./hello Segmentation fault # during execve() itself After applying the patch: $ ./hello Trace trap # user-mode execution after execve() finishes If the ELF headers are actually self-inconsistent, then dying is fine. But having no PROT_WRITE segment is perfectly normal and correct if there is no segment with p_memsz > p_filesz (i.e. bss). John Reiser suggested checking for PROT_WRITE in the bss logic. I think it makes most sense to simply apply the bss logic only when there is bss. This patch looks less trivial than it is due to some reindentation. It just moves the "if (last_bss > elf_bss) {" test up to include the partial-page bss logic as well as the more-pages bss logic.

| | * sysfs: Add labeling support for sysfsDavid P. Quigley2009-09-104-37/+112
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a setxattr handler to the file, directory, and symlink inode_operations structures for sysfs. The patch uses hooks introduced in the previous patch to handle the getting and setting of security information for the sysfs inodes. As was suggested by Eric Biederman the struct iattr in the sysfs_dirent structure has been replaced by a structure which contains the iattr, secdata and secdata length to allow the changes to persist in the event that the inode representing the sysfs_dirent is evicted. Because sysfs only stores this information when a change is made all the optional data is moved into one dynamically allocated field. This patch addresses an issue where SELinux was denying virtd access to the PCI configuration entries in sysfs. The lack of setxattr handlers for sysfs required that a single label be assigned to all entries in sysfs. Granting virtd access to every entry in sysfs is not an acceptable solution so fine grained labeling of sysfs is required such that individual entries can be labeled appropriately.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking for credential management. The additional code keeps track of the number of pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes all references, not just those from task_structs). Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid. This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the credential struct has been previously released): http://www.kerneloops.org/oops.php?number=252883 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

It requires task_lock(), but this lock is only needed to read mm->flags in the middle. Convert mm_for_maps() to use ptrace_may_access(), this also simplifies the code a little bit. Also, we do not need to take ->mmap_sem in advance. In fact I think mm_for_maps() should not play with ->mmap_sem at all, the caller should take this lock. With or without this patch, without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.

This generates EFAULT. Here is a small test case. (Yes, there are other, useful PT_INTERP which have only .text and no .data/.bss.) ----- ptinterp.S _start: .globl _start nop int3 ----- $ gcc -m32 -nostartfiles -nostdlib -o ptinterp ptinterp.S $ gcc -m32 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=ptinterp -o hello hello.c $ ./hello Segmentation fault # during execve() itself After applying the patch: $ ./hello Trace trap # user-mode execution after execve() finishes If the ELF headers are actually self-inconsistent, then dying is fine. But having no PROT_WRITE segment is perfectly normal and correct if there is no segment with p_memsz > p_filesz (i.e. bss). John Reiser suggested checking for PROT_WRITE in the bss logic. I think it makes most sense to simply apply the bss logic only when there is bss. This patch looks less trivial than it is due to some reindentation. It just moves the "if (last_bss > elf_bss) {" test up to include the partial-page bss logic as well as the more-pages bss logic.

But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC. The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex. Even if we remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(), another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the tracee resumes. With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and we do not hold it throughout, instead: - introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred. - install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(), and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop(). or, if exec fails, free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.
