2024-02-22sysctl: allow change system v ipc sysctls inside ipc namespaceAlexey Gladkov
Patch series "Allow to change ipc/mq sysctls inside ipc namespace", v3. Right now ipc and mq limits count as per ipc namespace, but only real root can change them. By default, the current values of these limits are such that it can only be reduced. Since only root can change the values, it is impossible to reduce these limits in the rootless container. We can allow limit changes within ipc namespace because mq parameters are limited by RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE and ipc parameters are not limited to anything other than cgroups. This patch (of 3): Rootless containers are not allowed to modify kernel IPC parameters. All default limits are set to such high values that in fact there are no limits at all. All limits are not inherited and are initialized to default values when a new ipc_namespace is created. For new ipc_namespace: size_t ipc_ns.shm_ctlmax = SHMMAX; // (ULONG_MAX - (1UL << 24)) size_t ipc_ns.shm_ctlall = SHMALL; // (ULONG_MAX - (1UL << 24)) int ipc_ns.shm_ctlmni = IPCMNI; // (1 << 15) int ipc_ns.shm_rmid_forced = 0; unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmax = MSGMAX; // 8192 unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmni = MSGMNI; // 32000 unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmnb = MSGMNB; // 16384 The shm_tot (total amount of shared pages) has also ceased to be global, it is located in ipc_namespace and is not inherited from anywhere. In such conditions, it cannot be said that these limits limit anything. The real limiter for them is cgroups. If we allow rootless containers to change these parameters, then it can only be reduced.

2023-08-15sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_tableJoel Granados
We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size is available when the removal occurs. We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network register calls. The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence. table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in __register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that point.

2019-07-18proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range checkMatteo Croce
In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as minimum and maximum allowed value. On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced. The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1, int_max=INT_MAX in different source files: $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l 248 Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them instead of creating a local one for every object file.

2019-05-14ipc: do cyclic id allocation for the ipc object.Manfred Spraul
For ipcmni_extend mode, the sequence number space is only 7 bits. So the chance of id reuse is relatively high compared with the non-extended mode. To alleviate this id reuse problem, this patch enables cyclic allocation for the index to the radix tree (idx). The disadvantage is that this can cause a slight slow-down of the fast path, as the radix tree could be higher than necessary. To limit the radix tree height, I have chosen the following limits: 1) The cycling is done over in_use*1.5. 2) At least, the cycling is done over "normal" ipcnmi mode: RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE elements "ipcmni_extended": 4096 elements Result: - for normal mode: No change for <= 42 active ipc elements. With more than 42 active ipc elements, a 2nd level would be added to the radix tree. Without cyclic allocation, a 2nd level would be added only with more than 63 active elements. - for extended mode: Cycling creates always at least a 2-level radix tree. With more than 2730 active objects, a 3rd level would be added, instead of > 4095 active objects until the 3rd level is added without cyclic allocation. For a 2-level radix tree compared to a 1-level radix tree, I have observed < 1% performance impact. Notes: 1) Normal "x=semget();y=semget();" is unaffected: Then the idx is e.g. a and a+1, regardless if idr_alloc() or idr_alloc_cyclic() is used. 2) The -1% happens in a microbenchmark after this situation: x=semget(); for(i=0;i<4000;i++) {t=semget();semctl(t,0,IPC_RMID);} y=semget(); Now perform semget calls on x and y that do not sleep. 3) The worst-case reuse cycle time is unfortunately unaffected: If you have 2^24-1 ipc objects allocated, and get/remove the last possible element in a loop, then the id is reused after 128 get/remove pairs. Performance check: A microbenchmark that performes no-op semop() randomly on two IDs, with only these two IDs allocated. The IDs were set using /proc/sys/kernel/sem_next_id. The test was run 5 times, averages are shown. 1 & 2: Base (6.22 seconds for 10.000.000 semops) 1 & 40: -0.2% 1 & 3348: - 0.8% 1 & 27348: - 1.6% 1 & 15777204: - 3.2% Or: ~12.6 cpu cycles per additional radix tree level. The cpu is an Intel I3-5010U. ~1300 cpu cycles/syscall is slower than what I remember (spectre impact?). V2 of the patch: - use "min" and "max" - use RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE instead of (2<<12).

2019-05-14ipc: allow boot time extension of IPCMNI from 32k to 16MWaiman Long
The maximum number of unique System V IPC identifiers was limited to 32k. That limit should be big enough for most use cases. However, there are some users out there requesting for more, especially those that are migrating from Solaris which uses 24 bits for unique identifiers. To satisfy the need of those users, a new boot time kernel option "ipcmni_extend" is added to extend the IPCMNI value to 16M. This is a 512X increase which should be big enough for users out there that need a large number of unique IPC identifier. The use of this new option will change the pattern of the IPC identifiers returned by functions like shmget(2). An application that depends on such pattern may not work properly. So it should only be used if the users really need more than 32k of unique IPC numbers. This new option does have the side effect of reducing the maximum number of unique sequence numbers from 64k down to 128. So it is a trade-off. The computation of a new IPC id is not done in the performance critical path. So a little bit of additional overhead shouldn't have any real performance impact.

2018-10-31ipc: IPCMNI limit check for semmniWaiman Long
For SysV semaphores, the semmni value is the last part of the 4-element sem number array. To make semmni behave in a similar way to msgmni and shmmni, we can't directly use the _minmax handler. Instead, a special sem specific handler is added to check the last argument to make sure that it is limited to the [0, IPCMNI] range. An error will be returned if this is not the case.

2018-10-31ipc: IPCMNI limit check for msgmni and shmmniWaiman Long
Patch series "ipc: IPCMNI limit check for *mni & increase that limit", v9. The sysctl parameters msgmni, shmmni and semmni have an inherent limit of IPC_MNI (32k). However, users may not be aware of that because they can write a value much higher than that without getting any error or notification. Reading the parameters back will show the newly written values which are not real. The real IPCMNI limit is now enforced to make sure that users won't put in an unrealistic value. The first 2 patches enforce the limits. There are also users out there requesting increase in the IPCMNI value. The last 2 patches attempt to do that by using a boot kernel parameter "ipcmni_extend" to increase the IPCMNI limit from 32k to 8M if the users really want the extended value. This patch (of 4): A user can write arbitrary integer values to msgmni and shmmni sysctl parameters without getting error, but the actual limit is really IPCMNI (32k). This can mislead users as they think they can get a value that is not real. The right limits are now set for msgmni and shmmni so that the users will become aware if they set a value outside of the acceptable range.

2014-12-13ipc/msg: increase MSGMNI, remove scalingManfred Spraul
SysV can be abused to allocate locked kernel memory. For most systems, a small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX. Therefore: increase MSGMNI to the maximum supported. And: If we ignore the risk of locking too much memory, then an automatic scaling of MSGMNI doesn't make sense. Therefore the logic can be removed. The code preserves auto_msgmni to avoid breaking any user space applications that expect that the value exists. Notes: 1) If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set MSGMNI as necessary. Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android). 2) MSGMAX and MSGMNB are intentionally not increased, as these values are used to control latency vs. throughput: If MSGMNB is large, then msgsnd() just returns and more messages can be queued before a task switch to a task that calls msgrcv() is forced.

2013-01-04ipc: add sysctl to specify desired next object idStanislav Kinsbursky
Add 3 new variables and sysctls to tune them (by one "next_id" variable for messages, semaphores and shared memory respectively). This variable can be used to set desired id for next allocated IPC object. By default it's equal to -1 and old behaviour is preserved. If this variable is non-negative, then desired idr will be extracted from it and used as a start value to search for free IDR slot. Notes: 1) this patch doesn't guarantee that the new object will have desired id. So it's up to user space how to handle new object with wrong id. 2) After a sucessful id allocation attempt, "next_id" will be set back to -1 (if it was non-negative).

2011-07-26ipc: introduce shm_rmid_forced sysctlVasiliy Kulikov
Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl. If set to 1, all shared memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to use IPC_RMID. The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus consuming memory not counted via rlimits. With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding the shared memory. It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would stop working. So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses "orphaned" memory. Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability reasons. The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

2008-07-25ipc: do not use a negative value to re-enable msgmni automatic recomputingNadia Derbey
This patch proposes an alternative to the "magical positive-versus-negative number trick" Andrew complained about last week in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/24/418. This had been introduced with the patches that scale msgmni to the amount of lowmem. With these patches, msgmni has a registered notification routine that recomputes msgmni value upon memory add/remove or ipc namespace creation/ removal. When msgmni is changed from user space (i.e. value written to the proc file), that notification routine is unregistered, and the way to make it registered back is to write a negative value into the proc file. This is the "magical positive-versus-negative number trick". To fix this, a new proc file is introduced: /proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni. This file acts as ON/OFF for msgmni automatic recomputing. With this patch, the process is the following: 1) kernel boots in "automatic recomputing mode" /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni contains the value that has been computed (depends on lowmem) /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni contains "1" 2) echo <val> > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni . sets msg_ctlmni to <val> . de-activates automatic recomputing (i.e. if, say, some memory is added msgmni won't be recomputed anymore) . /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni now contains "0" 3) echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni . de-activates msgmni automatic recomputing this has the same effect as 2) except that msg_ctlmni's value stays blocked at its current value) 3) echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni . recomputes msgmni's value based on the current available memory size and number of ipc namespaces . re-activates automatic recomputing for msgmni.

2008-02-08namespaces: move the IPC namespace under IPC_NS optionPavel Emelyanov
Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files. I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed. The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required in 4 .c files only. Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c, msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a separate patch doing this a bit later.

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
