2022-09-11aio: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in __get_reqs_availableUros Bizjak
Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in __get_reqs_available. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). Also, atomic_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications. No functional change intended.

The kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

Move aio sysctl to aio.c and use the new register_sysctl_init() to register the sysctl interface for aio.

2021-12-09aio: fix use-after-free due to missing POLLFREE handlingEric Biggers
signalfd_poll() and binder_poll() are special in that they use a waitqueue whose lifetime is the current task, rather than the struct file as is normally the case. This is okay for blocking polls, since a blocking poll occurs within one task; however, non-blocking polls require another solution. This solution is for the queue to be cleared before it is freed, by sending a POLLFREE notification to all waiters. Unfortunately, only eventpoll handles POLLFREE. A second type of non-blocking poll, aio poll, was added in kernel v4.18, and it doesn't handle POLLFREE. This allows a use-after-free to occur if a signalfd or binder fd is polled with aio poll, and the waitqueue gets freed. Fix this by making aio poll handle POLLFREE. A patch by Ramji Jiyani <ramjiyani@google.com> (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211027011834.2497484-1-ramjiyani@google.com) tried to do this by making aio_poll_wake() always complete the request inline if POLLFREE is seen. However, that solution had two bugs. First, it introduced a deadlock, as it unconditionally locked the aio context while holding the waitqueue lock, which inverts the normal locking order. Second, it didn't consider that POLLFREE notifications are missed while the request has been temporarily de-queued. The second problem was solved by my previous patch. This patch then properly fixes the use-after-free by handling POLLFREE in a deadlock-free way. It does this by taking advantage of the fact that freeing of the waitqueue is RCU-delayed, similar to what eventpoll does.

2021-12-09aio: keep poll requests on waitqueue until completedEric Biggers
Currently, aio_poll_wake() will always remove the poll request from the waitqueue. Then, if aio_poll_complete_work() sees that none of the polled events are ready and the request isn't cancelled, it re-adds the request to the waitqueue. (This can easily happen when polling a file that doesn't pass an event mask when waking up its waitqueue.) This is fundamentally broken for two reasons: 1. If a wakeup occurs between vfs_poll() and the request being re-added to the waitqueue, it will be missed because the request wasn't on the waitqueue at the time. Therefore, IOCB_CMD_POLL might never complete even if the polled file is ready. 2. When the request isn't on the waitqueue, there is no way to be notified that the waitqueue is being freed (which happens when its lifetime is shorter than the struct file's). This is supposed to happen via the waitqueue entries being woken up with POLLFREE. Therefore, leave the requests on the waitqueue until they are actually completed (or cancelled). To keep track of when aio_poll_complete_work needs to be scheduled, use new fields in struct poll_iocb. Remove the 'done' field which is now redundant. Note that this is consistent with how sys_poll() and eventpoll work; their wakeup functions do *not* remove the waitqueue entries.

2021-10-20aio: Prefer struct_size over open coded arithmeticLen Baker
As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes, and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar) function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors. So, use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the argument "size + size * count" in the kzalloc() function.

2021-08-28eventfd: Make signal recursion protection a task bitThomas Gleixner
The recursion protection for eventfd_signal() is based on a per CPU variable and relies on the !RT semantics of spin_lock_irqsave() for protecting this per CPU variable. On RT kernels spin_lock_irqsave() neither disables preemption nor interrupts which allows the spin lock held section to be preempted. If the preempting task invokes eventfd_signal() as well, then the recursion warning triggers. Paolo suggested to protect the per CPU variable with a local lock, but that's heavyweight and actually not necessary. The goal of this protection is to prevent the task stack from overflowing, which can be achieved with a per task recursion protection as well. Replace the per CPU variable with a per task bit similar to other recursion protection bits like task_struct::in_page_owner. This works on both !RT and RT kernels and removes as a side effect the extra per CPU storage. No functional change for !RT kernels.

2021-04-30Revert "mremap: don't allow MREMAP_DONTUNMAP on special_mappings and aio"Brian Geffon
This reverts commit cd544fd1dc9293c6702fab6effa63dac1cc67e99. As discussed in [1] this commit was a no-op because the mapping type was checked in vma_to_resize before move_vma is ever called. This meant that vm_ops->mremap() would never be called on such mappings. Furthermore, we've since expanded support of MREMAP_DONTUNMAP to non-anonymous mappings, and these special mappings are still protected by the existing check of !VM_DONTEXPAND and !VM_PFNMAP which will result in a -EINVAL. 1. https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/12/28/2340 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210323182520.2712101-2-bgeffon@google.com Signed-off-by: Brian Geffon <bgeffon@google.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Reviewed-by: Dmitry Safonov <0x7f454c46@gmail.com> Cc: Alejandro Colomar <alx.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Axel Rasmussen <axelrasmussen@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A .

2020-08-07mm: remove unnecessary wrapper function do_mmap_pgoff()Peter Collingbourne
The current split between do_mmap() and do_mmap_pgoff() was introduced in commit 1fcfd8db7f82 ("mm, mpx: add "vm_flags_t vm_flags" arg to do_mmap_pgoff()") to support MPX. The wrapper function do_mmap_pgoff() always passed 0 as the value of the vm_flags argument to do_mmap(). However, MPX support has subsequently been removed from the kernel and there were no more direct callers of do_mmap(); all calls were going via do_mmap_pgoff(). Simplify the code by removing do_mmap_pgoff() and changing all callers to directly call do_mmap(), which now no longer takes a vm_flags argument.

2020-05-14aio: fix async fsync credsMiklos Szeredi
Avi Kivity reports that on fuse filesystems running in a user namespace asyncronous fsync fails with EOVERFLOW. The reason is that f_ops->fsync() is called with the creds of the kthread performing aio work instead of the creds of the process originally submitting IOCB_CMD_FSYNC. Fuse sends the creds of the caller in the request header and it needs to translate the uid and gid into the server's user namespace. Since the kthread is running in init_user_ns, the translation will fail and the operation returns an error. It can be argued that fsync doesn't actually need any creds, but just zeroing out those fields in the header (as with requests that currently don't take creds) is a backward compatibility risk. Instead of working around this issue in fuse, solve the core of the problem by calling the filesystem with the proper creds.

If we have nested or circular eventfd wakeups, then we can deadlock if we run them inline from our poll waitqueue wakeup handler. It's also possible to have very long chains of notifications, to the extent where we could risk blowing the stack. Check the eventfd recursion count before calling eventfd_signal(). If it's non-zero, then punt the signaling to async context. This is always safe, as it takes us out-of-line in terms of stack and locking context.

2019-10-21aio: Fix io_pgetevents() struct __compat_aio_sigset layoutGuillem Jover
This type is used to pass the sigset_t from userland to the kernel, but it was using the kernel native pointer type for the member representing the compat userland pointer to the userland sigset_t. This messes up the layout, and makes the kernel eat up both the userland pointer and the size members into the kernel pointer, and then reads garbage into the kernel sigsetsize. Which makes the sigset_t size consistency check fail, and consequently the syscall always returns -EINVAL. This breaks both libaio and strace on 32-bit userland running on 64-bit kernels. And there are apparently no users in the wild of the current broken layout (at least according to codesearch.debian.org and a brief check over github.com search). So it looks safe to fix this directly in the kernel, instead of either letting userland deal with this permanently with the additional overhead or trying to make the syscall infer what layout userland used, even though this is also being worked around in libaio to temporarily cope with kernels that have not yet been fixed. We use a proper compat_uptr_t instead of a compat_sigset_t pointer.

This is the minimal fix for stable, I'll send cleanups later. Commit 854a6ed56839 ("signal: Add restore_user_sigmask()") introduced the visible change which breaks user-space: a signal temporary unblocked by set_user_sigmask() can be delivered even if the caller returns success or timeout. Change restore_user_sigmask() to accept the additional "interrupted" argument which should be used instead of signal_pending() check, and update the callers. Eric said: : For clarity. I don't think this is required by posix, or fundamentally to : remove the races in select. It is what linux has always done and we have : applications who care so I agree this fix is needed. : : Further in any case where the semantic change that this patch rolls back : (aka where allowing a signal to be delivered and the select like call to : complete) would be advantage we can do as well if not better by using : signalfd. : : Michael is there any chance we can get this guarantee of the linux : implementation of pselect and friends clearly documented.

2019-03-17Fix aio_poll() racesAl Viro
aio_poll() has to cope with several unpleasant problems: * requests that might stay around indefinitely need to be made visible for io_cancel(2); that must not be done to a request already completed, though. * in cases when ->poll() has placed us on a waitqueue, wakeup might have happened (and request completed) before ->poll() returns. * worse, in some early wakeup cases request might end up re-added into the queue later - we can't treat "woken up and currently not in the queue" as "it's not going to stick around indefinitely" * ... moreover, ->poll() might have decided not to put it on any queues to start with, and that needs to be distinguished from the previous case * ->poll() might have tried to put us on more than one queue. Only the first will succeed for aio poll, so we might end up missing wakeups. OTOH, we might very well notice that only after the wakeup hits and request gets completed (all before ->poll() gets around to the second poll_wait()). In that case it's too late to decide that we have an error. req->woken was an attempt to deal with that. Unfortunately, it was broken. What we need to keep track of is not that wakeup has happened - the thing might come back after that. It's that async reference is already gone and won't come back, so we can't (and needn't) put the request on the list of cancellables. The easiest case is "request hadn't been put on any waitqueues"; we can tell by seeing NULL apt.head, and in that case there won't be anything async. We should either complete the request ourselves (if vfs_poll() reports anything of interest) or return an error. In all other cases we get exclusion with wakeups by grabbing the queue lock. If request is currently on queue and we have something interesting from vfs_poll(), we can steal it and complete the request ourselves. If it's on queue and vfs_poll() has not reported anything interesting, we either put it on the cancellable list, or, if we know that it hadn't been put on all queues ->poll() wanted it on, we steal it and return an error. If it's _not_ on queue, it's either been already dealt with (in which case we do nothing), or there's aio_poll_complete_work() about to be executed. In that case we either put it on the cancellable list, or, if we know it hadn't been put on all queues ->poll() wanted it on, simulate what cancel would've done. It's a lot more convoluted than I'd like it to be. Single-consumer APIs suck, and unfortunately aio is not an exception... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
