2006-10-02[PATCH] proc: drop tasklist lock in task_state()Oleg Nesterov
task_state() needs tasklist_lock to protect ->parent/->real_parent. However task->parent points to nowhere only when the actions below happen in order 1) release_task(task) 2) release_task(task->parent) 3) a grace period passed But 3) implies that the memory ops from 1) should be finished, so pid_alive() can't be true in such a case. Otherwise, we don't care if ->parent/->real_parent changes under us. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.

2006-10-02[PATCH] proc: convert do_task_stat() to use lock_task_sighand()Oleg Nesterov
Drop tasklist_lock. ->siglock protects almost all interesting data (including sub-threads traversal) except: ->signal->tty protected by tty_mutex ->real_parent the task can't be unhashed while we are holding ->siglock, so ->real_parent can change from under us but we can safely dereference it under rcu_read_lock() ->pgrp/->session we can get inconsistent numbers if the task does sys_setsid/daemonize at the same time. I hope this is acceptable. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.

2006-10-02[PATCH] proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbersEric W. Biederman
The hard coded inode numbers in proc currently limit its maintainability, its flexibility, and what can be done with the rest of system. /proc limits pid-max to 32768 on 32 bit systems it limits fd-max to 32768 on all systems, and placing the pid in the inode number really gets in the way of implementing subdirectories of per process information. Ever since people started adding to the middle of the file type enumeration we haven't been maintaing the historical inode numbers, all we have really succeeded in doing is keeping the pid in the proc inode number. The pid is already available in the directory name so no information is lost removing it from the inode number. So if something in user space cares if we remove the inode number from the /proc inode it is almost certainly broken. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-02[PATCH] proc: Factor out an instantiate method from every lookup methodEric W. Biederman

2006-10-02[PATCH] proc: Make the generation of the self symlink table drivenEric W. Biederman
This patch generalizes the concept of files in /proc that are related to processes but live in the root directory of /proc Ideally this would reuse infrastructure from the rest of the process specific parts of proc but unfortunately security_task_to_inode must not be called on files that are not strictly per process. security_task_to_inode really needs to be reexamined as the security label can change in important places that we are not currently catching, but I'm not certain that simplifies this problem. By at least matching the structure of the rest of proc we get more idiom reuse and it becomes easier to spot problems in the way things are put together. Later things like /proc/mounts are likely to be moved into proc_base as well. If union mounts are ever supported we may be able to make /proc a union mount, and properly split it into 2 filesystems.

We have an array 'nfsd_version' which lists the available versions of nfsd, and 'nfsd_versions' (poor choice there :-() which lists the currently active versions. Then we have a bitmap - nfsd_versbits which says which versions are wanted. The bits in this bitset cause content to be copied from nfsd_version to nfsd_versions when nfsd starts. This patch removes nfsd_versbits and moves information directly from nfsd_version to nfsd_versions when requests for version changes arrive. Note that this doesn't make it possible to change versions while the server is running. This is because serv->sv_xdrsize is calculated when a service is created, and used when threads are created, and xdrsize depends on the active versions.

2006-10-02[PATCH] knfsd: be more selective in which sockets lockd listens onNeilBrown
Currently lockd listens on UDP always, and TCP if CONFIG_NFSD_TCP is set. However as lockd performs services of the client as well, this is a problem. If CONFIG_NfSD_TCP is not set, and a tcp mount is used, the server will not be able to call back to lockd. So: - add an option to lockd_up saying which protocol is needed - Always open sockets for which an explicit port was given, otherwise only open a socket of the type required - Change nfsd to do one lockd_up per socket rather than one per thread. This - removes the dependancy on CONFIG_NFSD_TCP - means that lockd may open sockets other than at startup - means that lockd will *not* listen on UDP if the only mounts are TCP mount (and nfsd hasn't started). The latter is the only one that concerns me at all - I don't know if this might be a problem with some servers.

This has been needed for a long time, but now with the advent of a reference counted struct pid there are real consequences for getting this wrong. Someone I think it was Oleg Nesterov pointed out that this construct was missing locking, when I introduced struct pid. After taking time to review the locking construct already present I figured out which lock needs to be taken. The other paths that access f_owner.pid take either the f_owner read or the write lock.

2006-10-02[PATCH] proc: give the root directory a taskEric W. Biederman
Helper functions in base.c like proc_pident_readdir and proc_pident_lookup assume the directories have an associated task, and cannot currently be used on the /proc root directory because it does not have such a task. This small changes allows for base.c to be simplified and later when multiple pid spaces are introduced it makes getting the needed context information trivial. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-02[PATCH] proc: reorder the functions in base.cEric W. Biederman
There were enough changes in my last round of cleaning up proc I had to break up the patch series into smaller chunks, and my last chunk never got resent. This patchset gives proc dynamic inode numbers (the static inode numbers were a pain to maintain and prevent all kinds of things), and removes the horrible switch statements that had to be kept in sync with everything else. Being fully table driver takes us 90% of the way of being able to register new process specific attributes in proc. This patch: Group the functions by what they implement instead of by type of operation. As it existed base.c was quickly approaching the point where it could not be followed. No functionality or code changes asside from adding/removing forward declartions are implemented in this patch. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-02[PATCH] proc: readdir race fix (take 3)Eric W. Biederman
The problem: An opendir, readdir, closedir sequence can fail to report process ids that are continually in use throughout the sequence of system calls. For this race to trigger the process that proc_pid_readdir stops at must exit before readdir is called again. This can cause ps to fail to report processes, and it is in violation of posix guarantees and normal application expectations with respect to readdir. Currently there is no way to work around this problem in user space short of providing a gargantuan buffer to user space so the directory read all happens in on system call. This patch implements the normal directory semantics for proc, that guarantee that a directory entry that is neither created nor destroyed while reading the directory entry will be returned. For directory that are either created or destroyed during the readdir you may or may not see them. Furthermore you may seek to a directory offset you have previously seen. These are the guarantee that ext[23] provides and that posix requires, and more importantly that user space expects. Plus it is a simple semantic to implement reliable service. It is just a matter of calling readdir a second time if you are wondering if something new has show up. These better semantics are implemented by scanning through the pids in numerical order and by making the file offset a pid plus a fixed offset. The pid scan happens on the pid bitmap, which when you look at it is remarkably efficient for a brute force algorithm. Given that a typical cache line is 64 bytes and thus covers space for 64*8 == 200 pids. There are only 40 cache lines for the entire 32K pid space. A typical system will have 100 pids or more so this is actually fewer cache lines we have to look at to scan a linked list, and the worst case of having to scan the entire pid bitmap is pretty reasonable. If we need something more efficient we can go to a more efficient data structure for indexing the pids, but for now what we have should be sufficient. In addition this takes no additional locks and is actually less code than what we are doing now. Also another very subtle bug in this area has been fixed. It is possible to catch a task in the middle of de_thread where a thread is assuming the thread of it's thread group leader. This patch carefully handles that case so if we hit it we don't fail to return the pid, that is undergoing the de_thread dance.

2006-10-01[PATCH] Support piping into commands in /proc/sys/kernel/core_patternAndi Kleen
Using the infrastructure created in previous patches implement support to pipe core dumps into programs. This is done by overloading the existing core_pattern sysctl with a new syntax: |program When the first character of the pattern is a '|' the kernel will instead threat the rest of the pattern as a command to run. The core dump will be written to the standard input of that program instead of to a file. This is useful for having automatic core dump analysis without filling up disks. The program can do some simple analysis and save only a summary of the core dump. The core dump proces will run with the privileges and in the name space of the process that caused the core dump. I also increased the core pattern size to 128 bytes so that longer command lines fit. Most of the changes comes from allowing core dumps without seeks. They are fairly straight forward though. One small incompatibility is that if someone had a core pattern previously that started with '|' they will get suddenly new behaviour. I think that's unlikely to be a real problem though. Additional background: > Very nice, do you happen to have a program that can accept this kind of > input for crash dumps? I'm guessing that the embedded people will > really want this functionality. I had a cheesy demo/prototype. Basically it wrote the dump to a file again, ran gdb on it to get a backtrace and wrote the summary to a shared directory. Then there was a simple CGI script to generate a "top 10" crashes HTML listing. Unfortunately this still had the disadvantage to needing full disk space for a dump except for deleting it afterwards (in fact it was worse because over the pipe holes didn't work so if you have a holey address map it would require more space). Fortunately gdb seems to be happy to handle /proc/pid/fd/xxx input pipes as cores (at least it worked with zsh's =(cat core) syntax), so it would be likely possible to do it without temporary space with a simple wrapper that calls it in the right way. I ran out of time before doing that though. The demo prototype scripts weren't very good. If there is really interest I can dig them out (they are currently on a laptop disk on the desk with the laptop itself being in service), but I would recommend to rewrite them for any serious application of this and fix the disk space problem. Also to be really useful it should probably find a way to automatically fetch the debuginfos (I cheated and just installed them in advance). If nobody else does it I can probably do the rewrite myself again at some point. My hope at some point was that desktops would support it in their builtin crash reporters, but at least the KDE people I talked too seemed to be happy with their user space only solution. Alan sayeth: I don't believe that piping as such as neccessarily the right model, but the ability to intercept and processes core dumps from user space is asked for by many enterprise users as well. They want to know about, capture, analyse and process core dumps, often centrally and in automated form.

2006-10-01[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: clean up OCFS2 nlink handlingMark Fasheh
OCFS2 does some operations on i_nlink, then reverts them if some of its operations fail to complete. This does not fit in well with the drop_nlink() logic where we expect i_nlink to stay at zero once it gets there. So, delay all of the nlink operations until we're sure that the operations have completed. Also, introduce a small helper to check whether an inode has proper "unlinkable" i_nlink counts no matter whether it is a directory or regular inode. This patch is broken out from the others because it does contain some logical changes.

2006-10-01[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: unlink: monitor i_nlinkDave Hansen

We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs. So, add a little helper function to do the decrements. We'll tie into it in a bit to note when i_nlink hits zero.

The code around vfs_create() in open_namei() is getting a bit too complex. Right now, there is at least the reference count on the dentry, and the i_mutex to worry about. Soon, we'll also have mnt_writecount. So, break the vfs_create() call out of open_namei(), and into a helper function. This duplicates the call to may_open(), but that isn't such a bad thing since the arguments (acc_mode and flag) were being heavily massaged anyway.
