* CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the devpts filesystemDavid Howells2009-01-021-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.

* Enable multiple instances of devptsSukadev Bhattiprolu2009-01-021-7/+163
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To support containers, allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem, such that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of ptys allocated in other instances of devpts. But to preserve backward compatibility, enable this support for multiple instances only if: - CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is set to Y, and - '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts To use multi-instance mount, a container startup script could: $ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash $ umount /dev/pts $ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts $ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx $ /usr/sbin/sshd -p 1234 where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' is calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs /bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in the original mount of /dev/pts. USER-SPACE-IMPACT: - See Documentation/fs/devpts.txt (included in next patch) for user- space impact in multi-instance and mixed-mode operation. TODO: - Update mount(8), pts(4) man pages. Highlight impact of not redirecting /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx after a multi-instance mount. Changelog[v6]: - [Dave Hansen] Use new get_init_pts_sb() interface - [Serge Hallyn] Don't bother displaying 'newinstance' in show_options - [Serge Hallyn] Use macros (PARSE_REMOUNT/PARSE_MOUNT) instead of 0/1. - [Serge Hallyn] Check error return from get_sb_single() (now get_init_pts_sb()) - devpts_pty_kill(): don't dput error dentries Changelog[v5]: - Move get_sb_ref() definition to earlier patch - Move usage info to Documentation/filesystems/devpts.txt (next patch) - Make ptmx node even in init_pts_ns, now that default mode is 0000 (defined in earlier patch, enabled here). - Cache ptmx dentry and use to update mode during remount (defined in earlier patch, enabled here). - Bugfix: explicitly ignore newinstance on remount (if newinstance was specified on remount of initial mount, it would be ignored but /proc/mounts would imply that the option was set) Changelog[v4]: - Update patch description to address H. Peter Anvin's comments - Consolidate multi-instance mode code under new config token, CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCE. - Move usage-details from patch description to Documentation/fs/devpts.txt Changelog[v3]: - Rename new mount option to 'newinstance' - Create ptmx nodes only in 'newinstance' mounts - Bugfix: parse_mount_options() modifies @data but since we need to parse the @data twice (once in devpts_get_sb() and once during do_remount_sb()), parse a local copy of @data in devpts_get_sb(). (restructured code in devpts_get_sb() to fix this) Changelog[v2]: - Support both single-mount and multiple-mount semantics and provide '-onewmnt' option to select the semantics.

* Define mknod_ptmx()Sukadev Bhattiprolu2009-01-021-5/+110
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /dev/ptmx is closely tied to the devpts filesystem. An open of /dev/ptmx, allocates the next pty index and the associated device shows up in the devpts fs as /dev/pts/n. Wih multiple instancs of devpts filesystem, during an open of /dev/ptmx we would be unable to determine which instance of the devpts is being accessed. So we move the 'ptmx' node into /dev/pts and use the inode of the 'ptmx' node to identify the superblock and hence the devpts instance. This patch adds ability for the kernel to internally create the [ptmx, c, 5:2] device when mounting devpts filesystem. Since the ptmx node in devpts is new and may surprise some userspace scripts, the default permissions for the new node is 0000. These permissions can be changed either using chmod or by remounting with the new '-o ptmxmode=0666' mount option. Changelog[v5]: - [Serge Hallyn bugfix]: Letting new_inode() assign inode number to ptmx can collide with hand-assigning inode numbers to ptys. So, hand-assign specific inode number to ptmx node also. - [Serge Hallyn]: Maybe safer to grab root dentry mutex while creating ptmx node - [Bugfix with Serge Hallyn] Replace lookup_one_len() in mknod_ptmx() wih d_alloc_name() (lookup during ->get_sb() locks up system). To simplify patchset, fold the ptmx_dentry patch into this. Changelog[v4]: - Change default permissions of pts/ptmx node to 0000. - Move code for ptmxmode under #ifdef CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES. Changelog[v3]: - Rename ptmx_mode to ptmxmode (for consistency with 'newinstance') Changelog[v2]: - [H. Peter Anvin] Remove mknod() system call support and create the ptmx node internally. Changelog[v1]: - Earlier version of this patch enabled creating /dev/pts/tty as well. As pointed out by Al Viro and H. Peter Anvin, that is not really necessary.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's sad to see it going neglected. With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here (64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab. I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on... I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant: why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection. At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it would require 4. I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are <= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for 33-36 byte names. Performance is a feature...

I've not been able to send this to the listed inotify maintainers, I just get mail failures. So I guessed filesystem was the best home for it, hope that's ok. regards Richard Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
| * introduce new LSM hooks where vfsmount is available.Kentaro Takeda2008-12-312-0/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add new LSM hooks for path-based checks. Call them on directory-modifying operations at the points where we still know the vfsmount involved.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup irq_desc can be NULL when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y only. therefore, NULL checking can move into kstat_irqs_cpu() of SPARSE_IRQ version.
