2012-05-24mm: add a low limit to alloc_large_system_hashTim Bird
UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory. On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the alloc_large_system_hash() result and reallocs a bigger memory area. As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can issue a warning. This patch adds a low limit parameter to alloc_large_system_hash() to solve this problem. We then specify UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN for UDP/UDPLite hash table allocation.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman: "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete implementation. Highlights: - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe. - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe. - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared uids remains the same. - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or better than it is today. - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or operationally with the user namespace enabled. - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1 billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to 164ns per stat operation). - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value. Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause entertaining failures in userspace. - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails. I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and handle the case where setuid fails. - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we can't map. - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities. My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

Commit 4d7e30d (epoll: Add a flag, EPOLLWAKEUP, to prevent suspend while epoll events are ready) caused some applications to malfunction, because they set the bit corresponding to the new EPOLLWAKEUP flag in their eventpoll flags and they don't have the new CAP_EPOLLWAKEUP capability. To prevent that from happening, change epoll_ctl() to clear EPOLLWAKEUP in epds.events if the caller doesn't have the CAP_EPOLLWAKEUP capability instead of failing and returning an error code, which allows the affected applications to function normally.

2012-05-21Revert "vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 8c01a529b861ba97c7d78368e6a5d4d42e946f75. It turns out the d_unhashed() check isn't unnecessary after all: while it's true that unhashing will increment the sequence numbers, that does not necessarily invalidate the RCU lookup, because it might have seen the dentry pointer (before it got unhashed), but by the time it loaded the sequence number, it could have seen the *new* sequence number (after it got unhashed). End result: we might look up an unhashed dentry that is about to be freed, with the sequence number never indicating anything bad about it. So checking that the dentry is still hashed (*after* reading the sequence number) is indeed the proper fix, and was never unnecessary.

2012-05-21vfs: be even more careful about dentry RCU name lookupsLinus Torvalds
Miklos Szeredi points out that we need to also worry about memory odering when doing the dentry name comparison asynchronously with RCU. In particular, doing a rename can do a memcpy() of one dentry name over another, and we want to make sure that any unlocked reader will always see the proper terminating NUL character, so that it won't ever run off the allocation. Rather than having to be extra careful with the name copy or at lookup time for each character, this resolves the issue by making sure that all names that are inlined in the dentry always have a NUL character at the end of the name allocation. If we do that at dentry allocation time, we know that no future name copy will ever change that final NUL to anything else, so there are no memory ordering issues. So even if a concurrent rename ends up overwriting the NUL character that terminates the original name, we always know that there is one final NUL at the end, and there is no worry about the lockless RCU lookup traversing the name too far. The out-of-line allocations are never copied over, so we can just make sure that we write the name (with terminating NULL) and do a write barrier before we expose the name to anything else by setting it in the dentry.

2012-05-21vfs: make AIO use the proper rw_verify_area() area helpersLinus Torvalds
We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example) mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc. Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that rw_verify_area() also does) directly. This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can actually remove lines of code.

Pull networking changes from David Miller: 1) Get rid of the error prone NLA_PUT*() macros that used an embedded goto. 2) Kill off the token-ring and MCA networking drivers, from Paul Gortmaker. 3) Reduce high-order allocations made by datagram AF_UNIX sockets, from Eric Dumazet. 4) Add PTP hardware clock support to IGB and IXGBE, from Richard Cochran and Jacob Keller. 5) Allow users to query timestamping capabilities of a card via ethtool, from Richard Cochran. 6) Add loadbalance mode to the teaming driver, from Jiri Pirko. Part of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets, and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one. 7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it completely but it's used for ISA probing still. 8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc. I know, who cares, right? :-) 9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability mode interfaces in the sysctl code. From Eric W Biederman. 10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE. There is also a TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options enabled on the connection. 11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly. a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page(). b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather than SLAB kmalloc'd memory. In particular devices which were receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged data. The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy any more. 12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP. What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer space. sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case, so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former. Also from Eric Dumazet. 13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and Chris Elston. 14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng. Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack threshold under certain conditions. 15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht. Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than the queue length (which is what RED uses). * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1341 commits) drivers/net/stmmac: seq_file fix memory leak ipv6/exthdrs: strict Pad1 and PadN check USB: qmi_wwan: Add ZTE (Vodafone) K3520-Z USB: qmi_wwan: Add ZTE (Vodafone) K3765-Z USB: qmi_wwan: Make forced int 4 whitelist generic net/ipv4: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul net/ipv4/ipconfig: neaten __setup placement net: qmi_wwan: Add Vodafone/Huawei K5005 support net: cdc_ether: Add ZTE WWAN matches before generic Ethernet ipv6: use skb coalescing in reassembly ipv4: use skb coalescing in defragmentation net: introduce skb_try_coalesce() net:ipv6:fixed space issues relating to operators. net:ipv6:fixed a trailing white space issue. ipv6: disable GSO on sockets hitting dst_allfrag tg3: use netdev_alloc_frag() API net: napi_frags_skb() is static ppp: avoid false drop_monitor false positives ipv6: bool/const conversions phase2 ipx: Remove spurious NULL checking in ipx_ioctl(). ...

2012-05-18proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into tid_fd_revalidate()Linus Torvalds
Instead of doing the i_mode calculations at proc_fd_instantiate() time, move them into tid_fd_revalidate(), which is where the other inode state (notably uid/gid information) is updated too. Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used while the dentry still hangs around. Not that anything really *cares* (symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this way since commit 61a28784028e: "proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds. And it just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid. Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the inode iops ->getattr() function instead. However, that does require somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup of the file descriptor. We need to do the revalidate() for other reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well fill in the information at this point.

A look at the exit seqeuence shows that other threads can still be on the runqueue potentially at the below shown exit_mm() code snippet: if (atomic_dec_and_test(&core_state->nr_threads)) complete(&core_state->startup); ===> other threads can still be active here, but we notify the thread ===> dumping core to wakeup from the coredump_wait() after the last thread ===> joins this point. Core dumping thread will continue dumping ===> all the threads state to the core file. for (;;) { set_task_state(tsk, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); if (!self.task) /* see coredump_finish() */ break; schedule(); } As some of those threads are on the runqueue and didn't call schedule() yet, their fpu state is still active in the live registers and the thread proceeding with the coredump will hit the above mentioned BUG_ON while trying to dump other threads fpustate to the coredump file. BUG_ON() in arch/x86/kernel/xsave.c:__sanitize_i387_state() is in the code paths for processors supporting xsaveopt. With or without xsaveopt, multi-threaded coredump is broken and maynot contain the correct fpustate at the time of exit. In coredump_wait(), wait for all the threads to be come inactive, so that we are sure all the extended register state is flushed to the memory, so that it can be reliably copied to the core file.
