2019-07-31memcg, fsnotify: no oom-kill for remote memcg chargingShakeel Butt1-2/+6
[ Upstream commit ec165450968b26298bd1c373de37b0ab6d826b33 ] Commit d46eb14b735b ("fs: fsnotify: account fsnotify metadata to kmemcg") added remote memcg charging for fanotify and inotify event objects. The aim was to charge the memory to the listener who is interested in the events but without triggering the OOM killer. Otherwise there would be security concerns for the listener. At the time, oom-kill trigger was not in the charging path. A parallel work added the oom-kill back to charging path i.e. commit 29ef680ae7c2 ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path"). So to not trigger oom-killer in the remote memcg, explicitly add __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to the fanotigy and inotify event allocations.

2018-08-18fs: fsnotify: account fsnotify metadata to kmemcgShakeel Butt1-1/+6
Patch series "Directed kmem charging", v8. The Linux kernel's memory cgroup allows limiting the memory usage of the jobs running on the system to provide isolation between the jobs. All the kernel memory allocated in the context of the job and marked with __GFP_ACCOUNT will also be included in the memory usage and be limited by the job's limit. The kernel memory can only be charged to the memcg of the process in whose context kernel memory was allocated. However there are cases where the allocated kernel memory should be charged to the memcg different from the current processes's memcg. This patch series contains two such concrete use-cases i.e. fsnotify and buffer_head. The fsnotify event objects can consume a lot of system memory for large or unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. The events are allocated in the context of the event producer. However they should be charged to the event consumer. Similarly the buffer_head objects can be allocated in a memcg different from the memcg of the page for which buffer_head objects are being allocated. To solve this issue, this patch series introduces mechanism to charge kernel memory to a given memcg. In case of fsnotify events, the memcg of the consumer can be used for charging and for buffer_head, the memcg of the page can be charged. For directed charging, the caller can use the scope API memalloc_[un]use_memcg() to specify the memcg to charge for all the __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations within the scope. This patch (of 2): A lot of memory can be consumed by the events generated for the huge or unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. This can cause system level memory pressure or OOMs. So, it's better to account the fsnotify kmem caches to the memcg of the listener. However the listener can be in a different memcg than the memcg of the producer and these allocations happen in the context of the event producer. This patch introduces remote memcg charging API which the producer can use to charge the allocations to the memcg of the listener. There are seven fsnotify kmem caches and among them allocations from dnotify_struct_cache, dnotify_mark_cache, fanotify_mark_cache and inotify_inode_mark_cachep happens in the context of syscall from the listener. So, SLAB_ACCOUNT is enough for these caches. The objects from fsnotify_mark_connector_cachep are not accounted as they are small compared to the notification mark or events and it is unclear whom to account connector to since it is shared by all events attached to the inode. The allocations from the event caches happen in the context of the event producer. For such caches we will need to remote charge the allocations to the listener's memcg. Thus we save the memcg reference in the fsnotify_group structure of the listener. This patch has also moved the members of fsnotify_group to keep the size same, at least for 64 bit build, even with additional member by filling the holes.

2018-05-18fsnotify: remove redundant arguments to handle_event()Amir Goldstein1-3/+3
inode_mark and vfsmount_mark arguments are passed to handle_event() operation as function arguments as well as on iter_info struct. The difference is that iter_info struct may contain marks that should not be handled and are represented as NULL arguments to inode_mark or vfsmount_mark. Instead of passing the inode_mark and vfsmount_mark arguments, add a report_mask member to iter_info struct to indicate which marks should be handled, versus marks that should only be kept alive during user wait. This change is going to be used for passing more mark types with handle_event() (i.e. super block marks). Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2018-02-27fsnotify: Let userspace know about lost events due to ENOMEMJan Kara1-1/+7
Currently if notification event is lost due to event allocation failing we ENOMEM, we just silently continue (except for fanotify permission events where we deny the access). This is undesirable as userspace has no way of knowing whether the notifications it got are complete or not. Treat lost events due to ENOMEM the same way as lost events due to queue overflow so that userspace knows something bad happened and it likely needs to rescan the filesystem.

2017-01-24inotify: Convert to using per-namespace limitsNikolay Borisov1-4/+2
This patchset converts inotify to using the newly introduced per-userns sysctl infrastructure. Currently the inotify instances/watches are being accounted in the user_struct structure. This means that in setups where multiple users in unprivileged containers map to the same underlying real user (i.e. pointing to the same user_struct) the inotify limits are going to be shared as well, allowing one user(or application) to exhaust all others limits. Fix this by switching the inotify sysctls to using the per-namespace/per-user limits. This will allow the server admin to set sensible global limits, which can further be tuned inside every individual user namespace. Additionally, in order to preserve the sysctl ABI make the existing inotify instances/watches sysctls modify the values of the initial user namespace.

My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee26a35 "fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups") broke sending of cookies with inotify events. We didn't propagate the value passed to fsnotify() properly and passed 4 uninitialized bytes to userspace instead (so it is also an information leak). Sadly I didn't notice this during my testing because inotify cookies aren't used very much and LTP inotify tests ignore them. Fix the problem by passing the cookie value properly.

2014-01-22fsnotify: do not share events between notification groupsJan Kara1-76/+49
Currently fsnotify framework creates one event structure for each notification event and links this event into all interested notification groups. This is done so that we save memory when several notification groups are interested in the event. However the need for event structure shared between inotify & fanotify bloats the event structure so the result is often higher memory consumption. Another problem is that fsnotify framework keeps path references with outstanding events so that fanotify can return open file descriptors with its events. This has the undesirable effect that filesystem cannot be unmounted while there are outstanding events - a regression for inotify compared to a situation before it was converted to fsnotify framework. For fanotify this problem is hard to avoid and users of fanotify should kind of expect this behavior when they ask for file descriptors from notified files. This patch changes fsnotify and its users to create separate event structure for each group. This allows for much simpler code (~400 lines removed by this patch) and also smaller event structures. For example on 64-bit system original struct fsnotify_event consumes 120 bytes, plus additional space for file name, additional 24 bytes for second and each subsequent group linking the event, and additional 32 bytes for each inotify group for private data. After the conversion inotify event consumes 48 bytes plus space for file name which is considerably less memory unless file names are long and there are several groups interested in the events (both of which are uncommon). Fanotify event fits in 56 bytes after the conversion (fanotify doesn't care about file names so its events don't have to have it allocated). A win unless there are four or more fanotify groups interested in the event. The conversion also solves the problem with unmount when only inotify is used as we don't have to grab path references for inotify events.

2012-12-11fsnotify: use reference counting for groupsLino Sanfilippo1-0/+2
Get a group ref for each mark that is added to the groups list and release that ref when the mark is freed in fsnotify_put_mark(). We also use get a group reference for duplicated marks and for private event data. Now we dont free a group any more when the number of marks becomes 0 but when the groups ref count does. Since this will only happen when all marks are removed from a groups mark list, we dont have to set the groups number of marks to 1 at group creation. Beside clearing all marks in fsnotify_destroy_group() we do also flush the groups event queue. This is since events may hold references to groups (due to private event data) and we have to put those references first before we get a chance to put the final ref, which will result in a call to fsnotify_final_destroy_group().

2011-04-06inotify: fix double free/corruption of stuct userEric Paris1-0/+1
On an error path in inotify_init1 a normal user can trigger a double free of struct user. This is a regression introduced by a2ae4cc9a16e ("inotify: stop kernel memory leak on file creation failure"). We fix this by making sure that if a group exists the user reference is dropped when the group is cleaned up. We should not explictly drop the reference on error and also drop the reference when the group is cleaned up. The new lifetime rules are that an inotify group lives from inotify_new_group to the last fsnotify_put_group. Since the struct user and inotify_devs are directly tied to this lifetime they are only changed/updated in those two locations. We get rid of all special casing of struct user or user->inotify_devs. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org (2.6.37 and up) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

inotify will WARN() if it finds that the idr and the fsnotify internals somehow got out of sync. It was only supposed to do this once but due to this stupid bug it would warn every single time a problem was detected.

2009-08-27inotify: do not BUG on idr entries at inotify destructionEric Paris1-2/+31
If an inotify watch is left in the idr when an fsnotify group is destroyed this will lead to a BUG. This is not a dangerous situation and really indicates a programming bug and leak of memory. This patch changes it to use a WARN and a printk rather than killing people's boxes. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2009-08-18notify: unused event private raceEric Paris1-6/+7
inotify decides if private data it passed to get added to an event was used by checking list_empty(). But it's possible that the event may have been dequeued and the private event removed so it would look empty. The fix is to use the return code from fsnotify_add_notify_event rather than looking at the list.

2009-06-19inotify: inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twiceEric Paris1-1/+1
inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twice for the same mark since it is called directly in inotify_rm_watch and when the mark is being destroyed for another reason. As an example assume that the file being watched was just deleted so inotify_destroy_mark_entry would get called from the path fsnotify_inoderemove() -> fsnotify_destroy_marks_by_inode() -> fsnotify_destroy_mark_entry() -> inotify_destroy_mark_entry(). If this happened at the same time as userspace tried to remove a watch via inotify_rm_watch we could attempt to remove the mark from the idr twice and could thus double dec the ref cnt and potentially could be in a use after free/double free situation. The fix is to have inotify_rm_watch use the generic recursive safe fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry() so we are sure the inotify_destroy_mark_entry() function can only be called one. This patch also renames the function to inotify_ingored_remove_idr() so it is clear what is actually going on in the function. Hopefully this fixes: [ 20.342058] idr_remove called for id=20 which is not allocated.
