ipc: use private shmem or hugetlbfs inodes for shm segments.

2015-08-07T01:39:41+00:00

The shm implementation internally uses shmem or hugetlbfs inodes for shm segments. As these inodes are never directly exposed to userspace and only accessed through the shm operations which are already hooked by security modules, mark the inodes with the S_PRIVATE flag so that inode security initialization and permission checking is skipped. This was motivated by the following lockdep warning: ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 4.2.0-0.rc3.git0.1.fc24.x86_64+debug #1 Tainted: G W ------------------------------------------------------- httpd/1597 is trying to acquire lock: (&ids->rwsem){+++++.}, at: shm_close+0x34/0x130 but task is already holding lock: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: SyS_shmdt+0x4b/0x180 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #3 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}: lock_acquire+0xc7/0x270 __might_fault+0x7a/0xa0 filldir+0x9e/0x130 xfs_dir2_block_getdents.isra.12+0x198/0x1c0 [xfs] xfs_readdir+0x1b4/0x330 [xfs] xfs_file_readdir+0x2b/0x30 [xfs] iterate_dir+0x97/0x130 SyS_getdents+0x91/0x120 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76 -> #2 (&xfs_dir_ilock_class){++++.+}: lock_acquire+0xc7/0x270 down_read_nested+0x57/0xa0 xfs_ilock+0x167/0x350 [xfs] xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared+0x38/0x50 [xfs] xfs_attr_get+0xbd/0x190 [xfs] xfs_xattr_get+0x3d/0x70 [xfs] generic_getxattr+0x4f/0x70 inode_doinit_with_dentry+0x162/0x670 sb_finish_set_opts+0xd9/0x230 selinux_set_mnt_opts+0x35c/0x660 superblock_doinit+0x77/0xf0 delayed_superblock_init+0x10/0x20 iterate_supers+0xb3/0x110 selinux_complete_init+0x2f/0x40 security_load_policy+0x103/0x600 sel_write_load+0xc1/0x750 __vfs_write+0x37/0x100 vfs_write+0xa9/0x1a0 SyS_write+0x58/0xd0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76 ...

hugetlbfs: accept subpool min_size mount option and setup accordingly

2015-04-15T23:35:18+00:00

Make 'min_size=' be an option when mounting a hugetlbfs. This option takes the same value as the 'size' option. min_size can be specified without specifying size. If both are specified, min_size must be less that or equal to size else the mount will fail. If min_size is specified, then at mount time an attempt is made to reserve min_size pages. If the reservation fails, the mount fails. At umount time, the reserved pages are released.

page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()

2015-04-14T23:49:01+00:00

This patch replaces cancel_dirty_page() with a helper function account_page_cleaned() which only updates counters. It's called from truncate_complete_page() and from try_to_free_buffers() (hack for ext3). Page is locked in both cases, page-lock protects against concurrent dirtiers: see commit 2d6d7f982846 ("mm: protect set_page_dirty() from ongoing truncation"). Delete_from_page_cache() shouldn't be called for dirty pages, they must be handled by caller (either written or truncated). This patch treats final dirty accounting fixup at the end of __delete_from_page_cache() as a debug check and adds WARN_ON_ONCE() around it. If something removes dirty pages without proper handling that might be a bug and unwritten data might be lost. Hugetlbfs has no dirty pages accounting, ClearPageDirty() is enough here. cancel_dirty_page() in nfs_wb_page_cancel() is redundant. This is helper for nfs_invalidate_page() and it's called only in case complete invalidation. The mess was started in v2.6.20 after commits 46d2277c796f ("Clean up and make try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages") and 3e67c0987d75 ("truncate: clear page dirtiness before running try_to_free_buffers()") first was reverted right in v2.6.20 in commit ecdfc9787fe5 ("Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery"), second in v2.6.25 commit a2b345642f53 ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3 data=journal"). Custom fixes were introduced between these points. NFS in v2.6.23, commit 1b3b4a1a2deb ("NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()"). Kludge in __delete_from_page_cache() in v2.6.24, commit 3a6927906f1b ("Do dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache"). Since v2.6.25 all of them are redundant.
