2017-02-23vfs: fix uninitialized flags in splice_to_pipe()Miklos Szeredi1-0/+1
commit 5a81e6a171cdbd1fa8bc1fdd80c23d3d71816fac upstream. Flags (PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET, PIPE_BUF_FLAG_GIFT) could remain on the unused part of the pipe ring buffer. Previously splice_to_pipe() left the flags value alone, which could result in incorrect behavior. Uninitialized flags appears to have been there from the introduction of the splice syscall.

2016-04-12splice: handle zero nr_pages in splice_to_pipe()Rabin Vincent1-0/+3
commit d6785d9152147596f60234157da2b02540c3e60f upstream. Running the following command: busybox cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe > /dev/null with any tracing enabled pretty very quickly leads to various NULL pointer dereferences and VM BUG_ON()s, such as these: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020 IP: [<ffffffff8119df6c>] generic_pipe_buf_release+0xc/0x40 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811c48a3>] splice_direct_to_actor+0x143/0x1e0 [<ffffffff811c42e0>] ? generic_pipe_buf_nosteal+0x10/0x10 [<ffffffff811c49cf>] do_splice_direct+0x8f/0xb0 [<ffffffff81196869>] do_sendfile+0x199/0x380 [<ffffffff81197600>] SyS_sendfile64+0x90/0xa0 [<ffffffff8192cbee>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6d page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(atomic_read(&page->_count) == 0) kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:367! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC RIP: [<ffffffff8119df9c>] generic_pipe_buf_release+0x3c/0x40 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811c48a3>] splice_direct_to_actor+0x143/0x1e0 [<ffffffff811c42e0>] ? generic_pipe_buf_nosteal+0x10/0x10 [<ffffffff811c49cf>] do_splice_direct+0x8f/0xb0 [<ffffffff81196869>] do_sendfile+0x199/0x380 [<ffffffff81197600>] SyS_sendfile64+0x90/0xa0 [<ffffffff8192cd1e>] tracesys_phase2+0x84/0x89 (busybox's cat uses sendfile(2), unlike the coreutils version) This is because tracing_splice_read_pipe() can call splice_to_pipe() with spd->nr_pages == 0. spd_pages underflows in splice_to_pipe() and we fill the page pointers and the other fields of the pipe_buffers with garbage. All other callers of splice_to_pipe() avoid calling it when nr_pages == 0, and we could make tracing_splice_read_pipe() do that too, but it seems reasonable to have splice_to_page() handle this condition gracefully.

2015-11-24vfs: Avoid softlockups with sendfile(2)Jan Kara1-0/+1
The following test program from Dmitry can cause softlockups or RCU stalls as it copies 1GB from tmpfs into eventfd and we don't have any scheduling point at that path in sendfile(2) implementation: int r1 = eventfd(0, 0); int r2 = memfd_create("", 0); unsigned long n = 1<<30; fallocate(r2, 0, 0, n); sendfile(r1, r2, 0, n); Add cond_resched() into __splice_from_pipe() to fix the problem.

2015-11-24vfs: Make sendfile(2) killable even betterJan Kara1-0/+7
Commit 296291cdd162 (mm: make sendfile(2) killable) fixed an issue where sendfile(2) was doing a lot of tiny writes into a filesystem and thus was unkillable for a long time. However sendfile(2) can be (mis)used to issue lots of writes into arbitrary file descriptor such as evenfd or similar special file descriptors which never hit the standard filesystem write path and thus are still unkillable. E.g. the following example from Dmitry burns CPU for ~16s on my test system without possibility to be killed: int r1 = eventfd(0, 0); int r2 = memfd_create("", 0); unsigned long n = 1<<30; fallocate(r2, 0, 0, n); sendfile(r1, r2, 0, n); There are actually quite a few tests for pending signals in sendfile code however we data to write is always available none of them seems to trigger. So fix the problem by adding a test for pending signal into splice_from_pipe_next() also before the loop waiting for pipe buffers to be available. This should fix all the lockup issues with sendfile of the do-ton-of-tiny-writes nature.

2015-11-07mm, fs: introduce mapping_gfp_constraint()Michal Hocko1-1/+1
There are many places which use mapping_gfp_mask to restrict a more generic gfp mask which would be used for allocations which are not directly related to the page cache but they are performed in the same context. Let's introduce a helper function which makes the restriction explicit and easier to track. This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

2015-06-25mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache allocation pathsMichal Hocko1-1/+1
page_cache_read, do_generic_file_read, __generic_file_splice_read and __ntfs_grab_cache_pages currently ignore mapping_gfp_mask when calling add_to_page_cache_lru which might cause recursion into fs down in the direct reclaim path if the mapping really relies on GFP_NOFS semantic. This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path. Anyway it is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage.

2015-05-06splice: sendfile() at once fails for big filesChristophe Leroy1-1/+11
Using sendfile with below small program to get MD5 sums of some files, it appear that big files (over 64kbytes with 4k pages system) get a wrong MD5 sum while small files get the correct sum. This program uses sendfile() to send a file to an AF_ALG socket for hashing. /* md5sum2.c */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <string.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <linux/if_alg.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int sk = socket(AF_ALG, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0); struct stat st; struct sockaddr_alg sa = { .salg_family = AF_ALG, .salg_type = "hash", .salg_name = "md5", }; int n; bind(sk, (struct sockaddr*)&sa, sizeof(sa)); for (n = 1; n < argc; n++) { int size; int offset = 0; char buf[4096]; int fd; int sko; int i; fd = open(argv[n], O_RDONLY); sko = accept(sk, NULL, 0); fstat(fd, &st); size = st.st_size; sendfile(sko, fd, &offset, size); size = read(sko, buf, sizeof(buf)); for (i = 0; i < size; i++) printf("%2.2x", buf[i]); printf(" %s\n", argv[n]); close(fd); close(sko); } exit(0); } Test below is done using official linux patch files. First result is with a software based md5sum. Second result is with the program above. root@vgoip:~# ls -l patch-3.6.* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 64011 Aug 24 12:01 patch-3.6.2.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94131 Aug 24 12:01 patch-3.6.3.gz root@vgoip:~# md5sum patch-3.6.* b3ffb9848196846f31b2ff133d2d6443 patch-3.6.2.gz c5e8f687878457db77cb7158c38a7e43 patch-3.6.3.gz root@vgoip:~# ./md5sum2 patch-3.6.* b3ffb9848196846f31b2ff133d2d6443 patch-3.6.2.gz 5fd77b24e68bb24dcc72d6e57c64790e patch-3.6.3.gz After investivation, it appears that sendfile() sends the files by blocks of 64kbytes (16 times PAGE_SIZE). The problem is that at the end of each block, the SPLICE_F_MORE flag is missing, therefore the hashing operation is reset as if it was the end of the file. This patch adds SPLICE_F_MORE to the flags when more data is pending. With the patch applied, we get the correct sums: root@vgoip:~# md5sum patch-3.6.* b3ffb9848196846f31b2ff133d2d6443 patch-3.6.2.gz c5e8f687878457db77cb7158c38a7e43 patch-3.6.3.gz root@vgoip:~# ./md5sum2 patch-3.6.* b3ffb9848196846f31b2ff133d2d6443 patch-3.6.2.gz c5e8f687878457db77cb7158c38a7e43 patch-3.6.3.gz Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-04-16dax: unify ext2/4_{dax,}_file_operationsBoaz Harrosh1-0/+3
The original dax patchset split the ext2/4_file_operations because of the two NULL splice_read/splice_write in the dax case. In the vfs if splice_read/splice_write are NULL we then call default_splice_read/write. What we do here is make generic_file_splice_read aware of IS_DAX() so the original ext2/4_file_operations can be used as is. For write it appears that iter_file_splice_write is just fine. It uses the regular f_op->write(file,..) or new_sync_write(file, ...).

2013-01-07tcp: fix MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST logicEric Dumazet1-1/+3
commit 35f9c09fe9c72e (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once) added an internal flag : MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST meant to be set on all frags but the last one for a splice() call. The condition used to set the flag in pipe_to_sendpage() relied on splice() user passing the exact number of bytes present in the pipe, or a smaller one. But some programs pass an arbitrary high value, and the test fails. The effect of this bug is a lack of tcp_push() at the end of a splice(pipe -> socket) call, and possibly very slow or erratic TCP sessions. We should both test sd->total_len and fact that another fragment is in the pipe (pipe->nrbufs > 1) Many thanks to Willy for providing very clear bug report, bisection and test programs.

There is no reason to pass the nr_pages_dirtied argument, because nr_pages_dirtied value from the caller is unused in balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_nr().

2012-07-31fs: Protect write paths by sb_start_write - sb_end_writeJan Kara1-0/+3
There are several entry points which dirty pages in a filesystem. mmap (handled by block_page_mkwrite()), buffered write (handled by __generic_file_aio_write()), splice write (generic_file_splice_write), truncate, and fallocate (these can dirty last partial page - handled inside each filesystem separately). Protect these places with sb_start_write() and sb_end_write(). ->page_mkwrite() calls are particularly complex since they are called with mmap_sem held and thus we cannot use standard sb_start_write() due to lock ordering constraints. We solve the problem by using a special freeze protection sb_start_pagefault() which ranks below mmap_sem.

2012-06-13splice: fix racy pipe->buffers usesEric Dumazet1-15/+20
Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe() commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes) added capability to adjust pipe->buffers. Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers doesn't change for their duration. Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate. splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

The obvious groups: * Miklos' atomic_open series; kills the damn abuse of ->d_revalidate() by NFS, which was the major stumbling block for all work in that area. * ripping security_file_mmap() and dealing with deadlocks in the area; sanitizing the neighborhood of vm_mmap()/vm_munmap() in general. * ->encode_fh() switched to saner API; insane fake dentry in mm/cleancache.c gone. * assorted annotations in fs (endianness, __user) * parts of Artem's ->s_dirty work (jff2 and reiserfs parts) * ->update_time() work from Josef. * other bits and pieces all over the place. Normally it would've been in two or three pull requests, but signal.git stuff had eaten a lot of time during this cycle ;-/" Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt (the 'truncate_range' inode method was removed by the VM changes, the VFS update adds an 'update_time()' method), and in fs/btrfs/ulist.[ch] (due to sparse fix added twice, with other changes nearby). * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (95 commits) nfs: don't open in ->d_revalidate vfs: retry last component if opening stale dentry vfs: nameidata_to_filp(): don't throw away file on error vfs: nameidata_to_filp(): inline __dentry_open() vfs: do_dentry_open(): don't put filp vfs: split __dentry_open() vfs: do_last() common post lookup vfs: do_last(): add audit_inode before open vfs: do_last(): only return EISDIR for O_CREAT vfs: do_last(): check LOOKUP_DIRECTORY vfs: do_last(): make ENOENT exit RCU safe vfs: make follow_link check RCU safe vfs: do_last(): use inode variable vfs: do_last(): inline walk_component() vfs: do_last(): make exit RCU safe vfs: split do_lookup() Btrfs: move over to use ->update_time fs: introduce inode operation ->update_time reiserfs: get rid of resierfs_sync_super reiserfs: mark the superblock as dirty a bit later ...
2012-06-01fs: introduce inode operation ->update_timeJosef Bacik1-2/+4
Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce ->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then filesystems can choose to do something different. I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the generic fault path.
