git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "This is a bunch of small changes built against 3.16-rc6. The most significant change for users is the first patch which makes setns drmatically faster by removing unneded rcu handling. The next chunk of changes are so that "mount -o remount,.." will not allow the user namespace root to drop flags on a mount set by the system wide root. Aks this forces read-only mounts to stay read-only, no-dev mounts to stay no-dev, no-suid mounts to stay no-suid, no-exec mounts to stay no exec and it prevents unprivileged users from messing with a mounts atime settings. I have included my test case as the last patch in this series so people performing backports can verify this change works correctly. The next change fixes a bug in NFS that was discovered while auditing nsproxy users for the first optimization. Today you can oops the kernel by reading /proc/fs/nfsfs/{servers,volumes} if you are clever with pid namespaces. I rebased and fixed the build of the !CONFIG_NFS_FS case yesterday when a build bot caught my typo. Given that no one to my knowledge bases anything on my tree fixing the typo in place seems more responsible that requiring a typo-fix to be backported as well. The last change is a small semantic cleanup introducing /proc/thread-self and pointing /proc/mounts and /proc/net at it. This prevents several kinds of problemantic corner cases. It is a user-visible change so it has a minute chance of causing regressions so the change to /proc/mounts and /proc/net are individual one line commits that can be trivially reverted. Unfortunately I lost and could not find the email of the original reporter so he is not credited. From at least one perspective this change to /proc/net is a refgression fix to allow pthread /proc/net uses that were broken by the introduction of the network namespace" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: proc: Point /proc/mounts at /proc/thread-self/mounts instead of /proc/self/mounts proc: Point /proc/net at /proc/thread-self/net instead of /proc/self/net proc: Implement /proc/thread-self to point at the directory of the current thread proc: Have net show up under /proc/<tgid>/task/<tid> NFS: Fix /proc/fs/nfsfs/servers and /proc/fs/nfsfs/volumes mnt: Add tests for unprivileged remount cases that have found to be faulty mnt: Change the default remount atime from relatime to the existing value mnt: Correct permission checks in do_remount mnt: Move the test for MNT_LOCK_READONLY from change_mount_flags into do_remount mnt: Only change user settable mount flags in remount namespaces: Use task_lock and not rcu to protect nsproxy

2014-08-06net-timestamp: TCP timestampingWillem de Bruijn2-3/+15
TCP timestamping extends SO_TIMESTAMPING to bytestreams. Bytestreams do not have a 1:1 relationship between send() buffers and network packets. The feature interprets a send call on a bytestream as a request for a timestamp for the last byte in that send() buffer. The choice corresponds to a request for a timestamp when all bytes in the buffer have been sent. That assumption depends on in-order kernel transmission. This is the common case. That said, it is possible to construct a traffic shaping tree that would result in reordering. The guarantee is strong, then, but not ironclad. This implementation supports send and sendpages (splice). GSO replaces one large packet with multiple smaller packets. This patch also copies the option into the correct smaller packet. This patch does not yet support timestamping on data in an initial TCP Fast Open SYN, because that takes a very different data path. If ID generation in ee_data is enabled, bytestream timestamps return a byte offset, instead of the packet counter for datagrams. The implementation supports a single timestamp per packet. It silenty replaces requests for previous timestamps. To avoid missing tstamps, flush the tcp queue by disabling Nagle, cork and autocork. Missing tstamps can be detected by offset when the ee_data ID is enabled. Implementation details: - On GSO, the timestamping code can be included in the main loop. I moved it into its own loop to reduce the impact on the common case to a single branch. - To avoid leaking the absolute seqno to userspace, the offset returned in ee_data must always be relative. It is an offset between an skb and sk field. The first is always set (also for GSO & ACK). The second must also never be uninitialized. Only allow the ID option on sockets in the ESTABLISHED state, for which the seqno is available. Never reset it to zero (instead, move it to the current seqno when reenabling the option).

2014-08-06net-timestamp: SCHED timestamp on entering packet schedulerWillem de Bruijn2-4/+16
Kernel transmit latency is often incurred in the packet scheduler. Introduce a new timestamp on transmission just before entering the scheduler.

2014-08-06net-timestamp: add key to disambiguate concurrent datagramsWillem de Bruijn2-0/+5
Datagrams timestamped on transmission can coexist in the kernel stack and be reordered in packet scheduling. When reading looped datagrams from the socket error queue it is not always possible to unique correlate looped data with original send() call (for application level retransmits). Even if possible, it may be expensive and complex, requiring packet inspection. Introduce a data-independent ID mechanism to associate timestamps with send calls. Pass an ID alongside the timestamp in field ee_data of sock_extended_err. The ID is a simple 32 bit unsigned int that is associated with the socket and incremented on each send() call for which software tx timestamp generation is enabled. The feature is enabled only if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID is set, to avoid changing ee_data for existing applications that expect it 0. The counter is reset each time the flag is reenabled. Reenabling does not change the ID of already submitted data. It is possible to receive out of order IDs if the timestamp stream is not quiesced first.

2014-08-06net-timestamp: move timestamp flags out of sk_flagsWillem de Bruijn1-23/+2
sk_flags is reaching its limit. New timestamping options will not fit. Move all of them into a new field sk->sk_tsflags. Added benefit is that this removes boilerplate code to convert between SOF_TIMESTAMPING_.. and SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_.. in getsockopt/setsockopt. SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is also used to toggle the receive timestamp logic (netstamp_needed). That can be simplified and this last key removed, but will leave that for a separate patch.

2014-08-06net-timestamp: extend SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary data structWillem de Bruijn1-0/+1
Applications that request kernel tx timestamps with SO_TIMESTAMPING read timestamps as recvmsg() ancillary data. The response is defined implicitly as timespec[3]. 1) define struct scm_timestamping explicitly and 2) add support for new tstamp types. On tx, scm_timestamping always accompanies a sock_extended_err. Define previously unused field ee_info to signal the type of ts[0]. Introduce SCM_TSTAMP_SND to define the existing behavior. The reception path is not modified. On rx, no struct similar to sock_extended_err is passed along with SCM_TIMESTAMPING. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-08-01net: Correctly set segment mac_len in skb_segment().Vlad Yasevich1-1/+1
When performing segmentation, the mac_len value is copied right out of the original skb. However, this value is not always set correctly (like when the packet is VLAN-tagged) and we'll end up copying a bad value. One way to demonstrate this is to configure a VM which tags packets internally and turn off VLAN acceleration on the forwarding bridge port. The packets show up corrupt like this: 16:18:24.985548 52:54:00:ab:be:25 > 52:54:00:26:ce:a3, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 1518: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype 0x05e0, 0x0000: 8cdb 1c7c 8cdb 0064 4006 b59d 0a00 6402 ...|...d@.....d. 0x0010: 0a00 6401 9e0d b441 0a5e 64ec 0330 14fa ..d....A.^d..0.. 0x0020: 29e3 01c9 f871 0000 0101 080a 000a e833)....q.........3 0x0030: 000f 8c75 6e65 7470 6572 6600 6e65 7470 ...unetperf.netp 0x0040: 6572 6600 6e65 7470 6572 6600 6e65 7470 erf.netperf.netp 0x0050: 6572 6600 6e65 7470 6572 6600 6e65 7470 erf.netperf.netp 0x0060: 6572 6600 6e65 7470 6572 6600 6e65 7470 erf.netperf.netp ... This also leads to awful throughput as GSO packets are dropped and cause retransmissions. The solution is to set the mac_len using the values already available in then new skb. We've already adjusted all of the header offset, so we might as well correctly figure out the mac_len using skb_reset_mac_len(). After this change, packets are segmented correctly and performance is restored. CC: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-07-31net: filter: don't release unattached filter through call_rcu()Pablo Neira1-3/+8
sk_unattached_filter_destroy() does not always need to release the filter object via rcu. Since this filter is never attached to the socket, the caller should be responsible for releasing the filter in a safe way, which may not necessarily imply rcu. This is a short summary of clients of this function: 1) xt_bpf.c and cls_bpf.c use the bpf matchers from rules, these rules are removed from the packet path before the filter is released. Thus, the framework makes sure the filter is safely removed. 2) In the ppp driver, the ppp_lock ensures serialization between the xmit and filter attachment/detachment path. This doesn't use rcu so deferred release via rcu makes no sense. 3) In the isdn/ppp driver, it is called from isdn_ppp_release() the isdn_ppp_ioctl(). This driver uses mutex and spinlocks, no rcu. Thus, deferred rcu makes no sense to me either, the deferred releases may be just masking the effects of wrong locking strategy, which should be fixed in the driver itself. 4) In the team driver, this is the only place where the rcu synchronization with unattached filter is used. Therefore, this patch introduces synchronize_rcu() which is called from the genetlink path to make sure the filter doesn't go away while packets are still walking over it. I think we can revisit this once struct bpf_prog (that only wraps specific bpf code bits) is in place, then add some specific struct rcu_head in the scope of the team driver if Jiri thinks this is needed. Deferred rcu release for unattached filters was originally introduced in 302d663 ("filter: Allow to create sk-unattached filters").

2014-07-30namespaces: Use task_lock and not rcu to protect nsproxyEric W. Biederman1-4/+6
The synchronous syncrhonize_rcu in switch_task_namespaces makes setns a sufficiently expensive system call that people have complained. Upon inspect nsproxy no longer needs rcu protection for remote reads. remote reads are rare. So optimize for same process reads and write by switching using rask_lock instead. This yields a simpler to understand lock, and a faster setns system call. In particular this fixes a performance regression observed by Rafael David Tinoco <rafael.tinoco@canonical.com>. This is effectively a revert of Pavel Emelyanov's commit cf7b708c8d1d7a27736771bcf4c457b332b0f818 Make access to task's nsproxy lighter from 2007.

After this report there was no usual "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" and this gave me a clue that address 0 is mapped and contains valid socket address structure in it. This bug was introduced in f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c (net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic). Commit message states that: "Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address." But in fact this affects sendto when address 0 is mapped and contains socket address structure in it. In such case copy-in address will succeed, verify_iovec() function will successfully exit with msg->msg_namelen > 0 and msg->msg_name == NULL. This patch fixes it by setting msg_namelen to 0 if msg_name == NULL.

2014-07-29net: remove deprecated syststamp timestampWillem de Bruijn1-4/+0
The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines three types of timestamps: software, hardware in raw format (hwtstamp) and hardware converted to system format (syststamp). The last has been deprecated in favor of combining hwtstamp with a PTP clock driver. There are no active users in the kernel. The option was device driver dependent. If set, but without hardware support, the correct behavior is to return zero in the relevant field in the SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary message. Without device drivers implementing the option, this field is effectively always zero. Remove the internal plumbing to dissuage new drivers from implementing the feature. Keep the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE flag, however, to avoid breaking existing applications that request the timestamp. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-07-16net: add name_assign_type netdev attributeTom Gundersen1-0/+20
Based on a patch by David Herrmann. The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined: NET_NAME_ENUM: The ifname is provided by the kernel with an enumerated suffix, typically based on order of discovery. Names may be reused and unpredictable. NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE: The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a given device. Examples include statically created devices like the loopback device and names deduced from hardware properties (including being given explicitly by the firmware). Names depending on the order of discovery, or in any other way on the existence of other devices, must not be marked as PREDICTABLE. NET_NAME_USER: The ifname was provided by user-space during net-device setup. NET_NAME_RENAMED: The net-device has been renamed from userspace. Once this type is set, it cannot change again. NET_NAME_UNKNOWN: This is an internal placeholder to indicate that we yet haven't yet categorized the name. It will not be exposed to userspace, rather -EINVAL is returned. The aim of these patches is to improve user-space renaming of interfaces. As a general rule, userspace must rename interfaces to guarantee that names stay the same every time a given piece of hardware appears (at boot, or when attaching it). However, there are several situations where userspace should not perform the renaming, and that depends on both the policy of the local admin, but crucially also on the nature of the current interface name. If an interface was created in repsonse to a userspace request, and userspace already provided a name, we most probably want to leave that name alone. The main instance of this is wifi-P2P devices created over nl80211, which currently have a long-standing bug where they are getting renamed by udev. We label such names NET_NAME_USER. If an interface, unbeknown to us, has already been renamed from userspace, we most probably want to leave also that alone. This will typically happen when third-party plugins (for instance to udev, but the interface is generic so could be from anywhere) renames the interface without informing udev about it. A typical situation is when you switch root from an installer or an initrd to the real system and the new instance of udev does not know what happened before the switch. These types of problems have caused repeated issues in the past. To solve this, once an interface has been renamed, its name is labelled NET_NAME_RENAMED. In many cases, the kernel is actually able to name interfaces in such a way that there is no need for userspace to rename them. This is the case when the enumeration order of devices, or in fact any other (non-parent) device on the system, can not influence the name of the interface. Examples include statically created devices, or any naming schemes based on hardware properties of the interface. In this case the admin may prefer to use the kernel-provided names, and to make that possible we label such names NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE. We want the kernel to have tho possibilty of performing predictable interface naming itself (and exposing to userspace that it has), as the information necessary for a proper naming scheme for a certain class of devices may not be exposed to userspace. The case where renaming is almost certainly desired, is when the kernel has given the interface a name using global device enumeration based on order of discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc). These naming schemes are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM. Lastly, a fallback is left as NET_NAME_UNKNOWN, to indicate that a driver has not yet been ported. This is mostly useful as a transitionary measure, allowing us to label the various naming schemes bit by bit. v8: minor documentation fixes v9: move comment to the right commit Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> Reviewed-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2014-07-15cgroup: rename cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes to ->legacy_cftypesTejun Heo2-2/+2
Currently, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is used for both the unified default hierarchy and legacy ones and subsystems can mark each file with either CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL or CFTYPE_INSANE if it has to appear only on one of them. This is quite hairy and error-prone. Also, we may end up exposing interface files to the default hierarchy without thinking it through. cgroup_subsys will grow two separate cftype arrays and apply each only on the hierarchies of the matching type. This will allow organizing cftypes in a lot clearer way and encourage subsystems to scrutinize the interface which is being exposed in the new default hierarchy. In preparation, this patch renames cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes to cgroup_subsys->legacy_cftypes. This patch is pure rename.
