mm: Rename SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU

2017-04-18T18:42:36+00:00

A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated during an RCU read-side critical section. Of course, that is not the case. Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire slab of blocks. However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety". This commit therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

sock: correctly test SOCK_TIMESTAMP in sock_recv_ts_and_drops()

2017-04-03T02:34:55+00:00

It seems the code does not match the intent. This broke packetdrill, and probably other programs. Fixes: 6c7c98bad488 ("sock: avoid dirtying sk_stamp, if possible") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Paolo Abeni Acked-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sock: avoid dirtying sk_stamp, if possible

2017-03-31T03:05:24+00:00

sock_recv_ts_and_drops() unconditionally set sk->sk_stamp for every packet, even if the SOCK_TIMESTAMP flag is not set in the related socket. If selinux is enabled, this cause a cache miss for every packet since sk->sk_stamp and sk->sk_security share the same cacheline. With this change sk_stamp is set only if the SOCK_TIMESTAMP flag is set, and is cleared for the first packet, so that the user perceived behavior is unchanged. This gives up to 5% speed-up under udp-flood with small packets. Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sock: introduce SO_MEMINFO getsockopt

2017-03-22T18:18:58+00:00

Allows reading of SK_MEMINFO_VARS via socket option. This way an application can get all meminfo related information in single socket option call instead of multiple calls. Adds helper function, sk_get_meminfo(), and uses that for both getsockopt and sock_diag_put_meminfo(). Suggested by Eric Dumazet.

net: Work around lockdep limitation in sockets that use sockets

2017-03-10T02:23:27+00:00

Lockdep issues a circular dependency warning when AFS issues an operation through AF_RXRPC from a context in which the VFS/VM holds the mmap_sem. The theory lockdep comes up with is as follows: (1) If the pagefault handler decides it needs to read pages from AFS, it calls AFS with mmap_sem held and AFS begins an AF_RXRPC call, but creating a call requires the socket lock: mmap_sem must be taken before sk_lock-AF_RXRPC (2) afs_open_socket() opens an AF_RXRPC socket and binds it. rxrpc_bind() binds the underlying UDP socket whilst holding its socket lock. inet_bind() takes its own socket lock: sk_lock-AF_RXRPC must be taken before sk_lock-AF_INET (3) Reading from a TCP socket into a userspace buffer might cause a fault and thus cause the kernel to take the mmap_sem, but the TCP socket is locked whilst doing this: sk_lock-AF_INET must be taken before mmap_sem However, lockdep's theory is wrong in this instance because it deals only with lock classes and not individual locks. The AF_INET lock in (2) isn't really equivalent to the AF_INET lock in (3) as the former deals with a socket entirely internal to the kernel that never sees userspace. This is a limitation in the design of lockdep. Fix the general case by: (1) Double up all the locking keys used in sockets so that one set are used if the socket is created by userspace and the other set is used if the socket is created by the kernel. (2) Store the kern parameter passed to sk_alloc() in a variable in the sock struct (sk_kern_sock). This informs sock_lock_init(), sock_init_data() and sk_clone_lock() as to the lock keys to be used. Note that the child created by sk_clone_lock() inherits the parent's kern setting. (3) Add a 'kern' parameter to ->accept() that is analogous to the one passed in to ->create() that distinguishes whether kernel_accept() or sys_accept4() was the caller and can be passed to sk_alloc(). Note that a lot of accept functions merely dequeue an already allocated socket. I haven't touched these as the new socket already exists before we get the parameter. Note also that there are a couple of places where I've made the accepted socket unconditionally kernel-based: irda_accept() rds_rcp_accept_one() tcp_accept_from_sock() because they follow a sock_create_kern() and accept off of that. Whilst creating this, I noticed that lustre and ocfs don't create sockets through sock_create_kern() and thus they aren't marked as for-kernel, though they appear to be internal. I wonder if these should do that so that they use the new set of lock keys. Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: use proper lockdep annotation in __sk_dst_set()

net: Introduce sk_clone_lock() error path routine

2017-03-02T21:19:33+00:00

When handling problems in cloning a socket with the sk_clone_locked() function we need to perform several steps that were open coded in it and its callers, so introduce a routine to avoid this duplication: sk_free_unlock_clone().
