2008-07-04splice: fix generic_file_splice_read() race with page invalidationMiklos Szeredi1-4/+13
If a page was invalidated during splicing from file to a pipe, then generic_file_splice_read() could return a short or zero count. This manifested itself in rare I/O errors seen on nfs exported fuse filesystems. This is because nfsd uses splice_direct_to_actor() to read files, and fuse uses invalidate_inode_pages2() to invalidate stale data on open. Fix by redoing the page find/create if it was found to be truncated (invalidated).

2008-05-07vfs: splice remove_suid() cleanupMiklos Szeredi1-16/+13
generic_file_splice_write() duplicates remove_suid() just because it doesn't hold i_mutex. But it grabs i_mutex inside splice_from_pipe() anyway, so this is rather pointless. Move locking to generic_file_splice_write() and call remove_suid() and __splice_from_pipe() instead. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2008-04-10splice: fix infinite loop in generic_file_splice_read()Jens Axboe1-25/+6
There's a quirky loop in generic_file_splice_read() that could go on indefinitely, if the file splice returns 0 permanently (and not just as a temporary condition). Get rid of the loop and pass back -EAGAIN correctly from __generic_file_splice_read(), so we handle that condition properly as well. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-04-04splice: use mapping_gfp_maskHugh Dickins1-1/+1
The loop block driver is careful to mask __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS out of its mapping_gfp_mask, to avoid hangs under memory pressure. But nowadays it uses splice, usually going through __generic_file_splice_read. That must use mapping_gfp_mask instead of GFP_KERNEL to avoid those hangs.

2008-03-04splice: only return -EAGAIN if there's hope of more dataJens Axboe1-4/+8
sys_tee() currently is a bit eager in returning -EAGAIN, it may do so even if we don't have a chance of anymore data becoming available. So improve the logic and only return -EAGAIN if we have an attached writer to the input pipe. Reported by Johann Felix Soden <johfel@gmx.de> and Patrick McManus <mcmanus@ducksong.com>.

Commit 8811930dc74a503415b35c4a79d14fb0b408a361 ("splice: missing user pointer access verification") added the proper access_ok() calls to copy_from_user_mmap_sem() which ensures we can copy the struct iovecs from userspace to the kernel. But we also must check whether we can access the actual memory region pointed to by the struct iovec to fix the access checks properly.

2008-02-01splice: always updated atime in direct spliceJens Axboe1-3/+1
Andre Majorel <aym-xunil@teaser.fr> points out that if we only updated the atime when we transfer some data, we deviate from the standard of always updating the atime.

2007-10-17Implement file posix capabilitiesSerge E. Hallyn1-4/+9
Implement file posix capabilities. This allows programs to be given a subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers. This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php. For more information on how to use this patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html. Changelog: Nov 27: Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton (security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix) Fix Kconfig dependency. Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in. Nov 13: Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t. Nov 13: Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey Dobriyan. Nov 09: Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper function. Nov 08: For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html. Nov 07: Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in check_cap_sanity(). Nov 07: Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since capabilities are the default. Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY. Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce audit messages. Nov 05: Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file cap support can be stacked. Sep 05: As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place for capability code. Sep 01: Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which they called a program with some fscaps. One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a cpuset? It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check. But since it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check, fixing it might be tough. task_setscheduler note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task. Are we ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset? task_setioprio task_setnice sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another process. Need same checks as setrlimit Aug 21: Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process might still have elevated caps. Aug 15: Handle endianness of xattrs. Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk. Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are set, else return -EPERM. With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than d_instantiate. Aug 10: Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than caching it at d_instantiate.

The readahead code should be told of the overall splice size, instead of the internal chunk size. Otherwize bad things may happen. Imagine some 17-page random splice reads. The code before this patch will result in two readahead calls: readahead(16); readahead(1); That leads to one 16-page I/O and one 32-page I/O: one extra I/O and 31 readahead miss pages.

Move synchronous page_cache_readahead_ondemand() call out of splice loop. This avoids one pointless page allocation/insertion in case of non-zero ra_pages, or many pointless readahead calls in case of zero ra_pages.

2007-07-16splice: direct splicing updates ppos twiceJens Axboe1-1/+3
OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> reported that he's noticed nfsd read corruption in recent kernels, and did the hard work of discovering that it's due to splice updating the file position twice. This means that the next operation would start further ahead than it should. nfsd_vfs_read() splice_direct_to_actor() while(len) { do_splice_to() [update sd->pos] -> generic_file_splice_read() [read from sd->pos] nfsd_direct_splice_actor() -> __splice_from_pipe() [update sd->pos] There's nothing wrong with the core splice code, but the direct splicing is an addon that calls both input and output paths.

2007-07-13splice: fix offset mangling with direct splicing (sendfile)Jens Axboe1-23/+11

2007-07-10splice: abstract out actor dataJens Axboe1-29/+70
For direct splicing (or private splicing), the output may not be a file.

2007-06-15splice: fix leak of pages on short splice to pipeJens Axboe1-1/+2
If the destination pipe is full and we already transferred data, we break out instead of waiting for more pipe room. The exit logic looks at spd->nr_pages to see if we moved everything inside the spd container, but we decrement that variable in the loop to decide when spd has emptied.

2007-06-08splice: __generic_file_splice_read: fix read/truncate raceJens Axboe1-23/+23
Original patch and description from Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>, merged and adapted to splice branch by me. Neils text follows: __generic_file_splice_read() currently samples the i_size at the start and doesn't do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load a page. After ->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate may have caused that page to be filled with zeros, and the read() call should not see these. However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be called on a page between the time that __generic_file_splice_read() samples i_size and when it finds that it has an uptodate page. These include at least read-ahead and possibly another thread performing a read So we must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page. Thus the current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with a sampling before page addition into spd. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

It's only supposed to be used by do_sendfile(), which is never modular. So kill the export. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-05-08[PATCH] splice(): fix interaction with readaheadFengguang Wu1-4/+5
Eric Dumazet, thank you for disclosing this bug. Readahead logic somehow fails to populate the page range with data. It can be because 1) the readahead routine is not always called in the following lines of fs/splice.c: if (!loff || nr_pages > 1) page_cache_readahead(mapping, &in->f_ra, in, index, nr_pages); 2) even called, page_cache_readahead() wont guarantee the pages are there. It wont submit readahead I/O for pages already in the radix tree, or when (ra_pages == 0), or after 256 cache hits. In your case, it should be because of the retried reads, which lead to excessive cache hits, and disables readahead at some time. And that _one_ failure of readahead blocks the whole read process. The application receives EAGAIN and retries the read, but __generic_file_splice_read() refuse to make progress: - in the previous invocation, it has allocated a blank page and inserted it into the radix tree, but never has the chance to start I/O for it: the test of SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK goes before that. - in the retried invocation, the readahead code will neither get out of the cache hit mode, nor will it submit I/O for an already existing page.

Currently if partial write has happened while ->commit_write() then page wasn't marked as accessed and rebalanced.

2007-03-27Export __splice_from_pipe()Mark Fasheh1-3/+4
Ocfs2 wants to implement it's own splice write actor so that it can better manage cluster / page locks. This lets us re-use the rest of splice write while only providing our own code where it's actually important.

2007-03-272/2 splice: dont readpageNick Piggin1-30/+0
Splice does not need to readpage to bring the page uptodate before writing to it, because prepare_write will take care of that for us. Splice is also wrong to SetPageUptodate before the page is actually uptodate. This results in the old uninitialised memory leak. This gets fixed as a matter of course when removing the readpage logic. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
