2013-09-30ipc,msg: prevent race with rmid in msgsnd,msgrcvDavidlohr Bueso1-0/+13
This fixes a race in both msgrcv() and msgsnd() between finding the msg and actually dealing with the queue, as another thread can delete shmid underneath us if we are preempted before acquiring the kern_ipc_perm.lock. Manfred illustrates this nicely: Assume a preemptible kernel that is preempted just after msq = msq_obtain_object_check(ns, msqid) in do_msgrcv(). The only lock that is held is rcu_read_lock(). Now the other thread processes IPC_RMID. When the first task is resumed, then it will happily wait for messages on a deleted queue. Fix this by checking for if the queue has been deleted after taking the lock.

2013-09-24ipc: fix race with LSMsDavidlohr Bueso1-6/+13
Currently, IPC mechanisms do security and auditing related checks under RCU. However, since security modules can free the security structure, for example, through selinux_[sem,msg_queue,shm]_free_security(), we can race if the structure is freed before other tasks are done with it, creating a use-after-free condition. Manfred illustrates this nicely, for instance with shared mem and selinux: -> do_shmat calls rcu_read_lock() -> do_shmat calls shm_object_check(). Checks that the object is still valid - but doesn't acquire any locks. Then it returns. -> do_shmat calls security_shm_shmat (e.g. selinux_shm_shmat) -> selinux_shm_shmat calls ipc_has_perm() -> ipc_has_perm accesses ipc_perms->security shm_close() -> shm_close acquires rw_mutex & shm_lock -> shm_close calls shm_destroy -> shm_destroy calls security_shm_free (e.g. selinux_shm_free_security) -> selinux_shm_free_security calls ipc_free_security(&shp->shm_perm) -> ipc_free_security calls kfree(ipc_perms->security) This patch delays the freeing of the security structures after all RCU readers are done. Furthermore it aligns the security life cycle with that of the rest of IPC - freeing them based on the reference counter. For situations where we need not free security, the current behavior is kept. Linus states: "... the old behavior was suspect for another reason too: having the security blob go away from under a user sounds like it could cause various other problems anyway, so I think the old code was at least _prone_ to bugs even if it didn't have catastrophic behavior." I have tested this patch with IPC testcases from LTP on both my quad-core laptop and on a 64 core NUMA server. In both cases selinux is enabled, and tests pass for both voluntary and forced preemption models. While the mentioned races are theoretical (at least no one as reported them), I wanted to make sure that this new logic doesn't break anything we weren't aware of.

2013-09-03ipc/msg.c: Fix lost wakeup in msgsnd().Manfred Spraul1-7/+5
The check if the queue is full and adding current to the wait queue of pending msgsnd() operations (ss_add()) must be atomic. Otherwise: - the thread that performs msgsnd() finds a full queue and decides to sleep. - the thread that performs msgrcv() first reads all messages from the queue and then sleeps, because the queue is empty. - the msgrcv() calls do not perform any wakeups, because the msgsnd() task has not yet called ss_add(). - then the msgsnd()-thread first calls ss_add() and then sleeps. Net result: msgsnd() and msgrcv() both sleep forever. Observed with msgctl08 from ltp with a preemptible kernel. Fix: Call ipc_lock_object() before performing the check. The patch also moves security_msg_queue_msgsnd() under ipc_lock_object: - msgctl(IPC_SET) explicitely mentions that it tries to expunge any pending operations that are not allowed anymore with the new permissions. If security_msg_queue_msgsnd() is called without locks, then there might be races. - it makes the patch much simpler.

2013-08-28IPC: bugfix for msgrcv with msgtyp < 0Svenning Sørensen1-2/+3
According to 'man msgrcv': "If msgtyp is less than 0, the first message of the lowest type that is less than or equal to the absolute value of msgtyp shall be received." Bug: The kernel only returns a message if its type is 1; other messages with type < abs(msgtype) will never get returned. Fix: After having traversed the list to find the first message with the lowest type, we need to actually return that message.

2013-07-09ipc: move rcu lock out of ipc_addidDavidlohr Bueso1-4/+3
This patchset continues the work that began in the sysv ipc semaphore scaling series, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/20/546 Just like semaphores used to be, sysv shared memory and msg queues also abuse the ipc lock, unnecessarily holding it for operations such as permission and security checks. This patchset mostly deals with mqueues, and while shared mem can be done in a very similar way, I want to get these patches out in the open first. It also does some pending cleanups, mostly focused on the two level locking we have in ipc code, taking care of ipc_addid() and ipcctl_pre_down_nolock() - yes there are still functions that need to be updated as well. This patch: Make all callers explicitly take and release the RCU read lock. This addresses the two level locking seen in newary(), newseg() and newqueue(). For the last two, explicitly unlock the ipc object and the rcu lock, instead of calling the custom shm_unlock and msg_unlock functions.

2013-05-01ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedopRik van Riel1-1/+6
Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with multiple semaphores. If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself. If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores. On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this: vanilla Davidlohr's Davidlohr's + Davidlohr's + threads patches rwlock patches v3 patches 10 610652 726325 1783589 2142206 20 341570 365699 1520453 1977878 30 288102 307037 1498167 2037995 40 290714 305955 1612665 2256484 50 288620 312890 1733453 2650292 60 289987 306043 1649360 2388008 70 291298 306347 1723167 2717486 80 290948 305662 1729545 2763582 90 290996 306680 1736021 2757524 100 292243 306700 1773700 3059159 [davidlohr.bueso@hp.com: do not call sem_lock when bogus sma] [davidlohr.bueso@hp.com: make refcounter atomic] Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr.bueso@hp.com> Cc: Chegu Vinod <chegu_vinod@hp.com> Cc: Jason Low <jason.low2@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Cc: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> Tested-by: Emmanuel Benisty <benisty.e@gmail.com> Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-01-04ipc: introduce message queue copy featureStanislav Kinsbursky1-2/+62
This patch is required for checkpoint/restore in userspace. c/r requires some way to get all pending IPC messages without deleting them from the queue (checkpoint can fail and in this case tasks will be resumed, so queue have to be valid). To achive this, new operation flag MSG_COPY for sys_msgrcv() system call was introduced. If this flag was specified, then mtype is interpreted as number of the message to copy. If MSG_COPY is set, then kernel will allocate dummy message with passed size, and then use new copy_msg() helper function to copy desired message (instead of unlinking it from the queue). Notes: 1) Return -ENOSYS if MSG_COPY is specified, but CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is not set.

As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-12-16ipc ns: fix memory leak (idr)Serge E. Hallyn1-0/+1
We have apparently had a memory leak since 7ca7e564e049d8b350ec9d958ff25eaa24226352 "ipc: store ipcs into IDRs" in 2007. The idr of which 3 exist for each ipc namespace is never freed. This patch simply frees them when the ipcns is freed. I don't believe any idr_remove() are done from rcu (and could therefore be delayed until after this idr_destroy()), so the patch should be safe. Some quick testing showed no harm, and the memory leak fixed. Caught by kmemleak. Signed-off-by: Serge E.

When posting: [PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem (see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/11/171), I have added a KERN_INFO message that is output each time msgmni is recomputed. In http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/575 Tony Luck complained that this message references an ipc namespace address that is useless. I first thought of using an audit_log instead of a printk, as suggested by Serge Hallyn. But unfortunately, we do not have any other information than the namespace address to provide here too. So I chose to move the message and output it only at boot time, removing the reference to the namespace.

2008-04-29IPC: consolidate all xxxctl_down() functionsPierre Peiffer1-43/+5
semctl_down(), msgctl_down() and shmctl_down() are used to handle the same set of commands for each kind of IPC. They all start to do the same job (they retrieve the ipc and do some permission checks) before handling the commands on their own. This patch proposes to consolidate this by moving these same pieces of code into one common function called ipcctl_pre_down(). It simplifies a little these xxxctl_down() functions and increases a little the maintainability.

All IPCs make use of an intermetiate *_setbuf structure to handle the IPC_SET command. This is not really needed and, moreover, it complicates a little bit the code. This patch gets rid of the use of it and uses directly the semid64_ds/ msgid64_ds/shmid64_ds structure.

2008-04-29IPC/message queues: introduce msgctl_downPierre Peiffer1-73/+89
Currently, sys_msgctl is not easy to read. This patch tries to improve that by introducing the msgctl_down function to handle all commands requiring the rwmutex to be taken in write mode (ie IPC_SET and IPC_RMID for now). It is the equivalent function of semctl_down for message queues. This greatly changes the readability of sys_msgctl and also harmonizes the way these commands are handled among all IPCs.

2008-04-29ipc: recompute msgmni on memory add / removeNadia Derbey1-1/+1
Introduce the registration of a callback routine that recomputes msg_ctlmni upon memory add / remove. A single notifier block is registered in the hotplug memory chain for all the ipc namespaces. Since the ipc namespaces are not linked together, they have their own notification chain: one notifier_block is defined per ipc namespace. Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it registers (unregisters) its notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The callback routine registered in the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier chain with the IPCNS_LOWMEM event. Each callback routine registered in the ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes msgmni for the owning namespace.

2008-04-29ipc: scale msgmni to the amount of lowmemNadia Derbey1-1/+36
On large systems we'd like to allow a larger number of message queues. In some cases up to 32K. However simply setting MSGMNI to a larger value may cause problems for smaller systems. The first patch of this series introduces a default maximum number of message queue ids that scales with the amount of lowmem. Since msgmni is per namespace and there is no amount of memory dedicated to each namespace so far, the second patch of this series scales msgmni to the number of ipc namespaces too. Since msgmni depends on the amount of memory, it becomes necessary to recompute it upon memory add/remove. In the 4th patch, memory hotplug management is added: a notifier block is registered into the memory hotplug notifier chain for the ipc subsystem. Since the ipc namespaces are not linked together, they have their own notification chain: one notifier_block is defined per ipc namespace. Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it registers (unregisters) its notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The callback routine registered in the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier chain with the IPCNS_MEMCHANGE event. Each callback routine registered in the ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes msgmni for the owning namespace. The 5th patch makes it possible to keep the memory hotplug notifier chain's lock for a lesser amount of time: instead of directly notifying the ipcns notifier chain upon memory add/remove, a work item is added to the global workqueue. When activated, this work item is the one who notifies the ipcns notifier chain. Since msgmni depends on the number of ipc namespaces, it becomes necessary to recompute it upon ipc namespace creation / removal. The 6th patch uses the ipc namespace notifier chain for that purpose: that chain is notified each time an ipc namespace is created or removed. This makes it possible to recompute msgmni for all the namespaces each time one of them is created or removed. When msgmni is explicitely set from userspace, we should avoid recomputing it upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal. This is what the 7th patch does: it simply unregisters the ipcns callback routine as soon as msgmni has been changed from procfs or sysctl(). Even if msgmni is set by hand, it should be possible to make it back automatically recomputed upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal. This what is achieved in patch 8: if set to a negative value, msgmni is added back to the ipcns notifier chain, making it automatically recomputed again. This patch: Compute msg_ctlmni to make it scale with the amount of lowmem. msg_ctlmni is now set to make the message queues occupy 1/32 of the available lowmem. Some cleaning has also been done for the MSGPOOL constant: the msgctl man page says it's not used, but it also defines it as a size in bytes (the code expresses it in Kbytes).

2008-02-08IPC: consolidate sem_exit_ns(), msg_exit_ns() and shm_exit_ns()Pierre Peiffer1-23/+5
sem_exit_ns(), msg_exit_ns() and shm_exit_ns() are all called when an ipc_namespace is released to free all ipcs of each type. But in fact, they do the same thing: they loop around all ipcs to free them individually by calling a specific routine. This patch proposes to consolidate this by introducing a common function, free_ipcs(), that do the job. The specific routine to call on each individual ipcs is passed as parameter. For this, these ipc-specific 'free' routines are reworked to take a generic 'struct ipc_perm' as parameter.
