Merge branch 'for-4.3/blkcg' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull blk-cg updates from Jens Axboe:
 "A bit later in the cycle, but this has been in the block tree for a a
  while.  This is basically four patchsets from Tejun, that improve our
  buffered cgroup writeback.  It was dependent on the other cgroup
  changes, but they went in earlier in this cycle.

  Series 1 is set of 5 patches that has cgroup writeback updates:

   - bdi_writeback iteration fix which could lead to some wb's being
     skipped or repeated during e.g. sync under memory pressure.

   - Simplification of wb work wait mechanism.

   - Writeback tracepoints updated to report cgroup.

  Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling:

     cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup.  It didn't
     have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there
     was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO.
     writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each
     writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against.

     This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is
     tagged with.  Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group,
     which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data.  This
     makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution
     implemented by cfq.

     - Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff.

     - Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased.

  Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches:

     This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods
     and blk[c]g_policy_data handling.

     - alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data.  exit dropped.

     - alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data.

     - blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct
       allocation.

     - all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or
       blkcg.

  And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats
  handling:

    blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess.  This patchset
    tries to improve the situation a bit.

     - The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and
       blkg creation.  This is in itself is an improvement and helps
       colllecting common stats on bio issue.

     - per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request
       completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave
       the same way.  The issue was spotted by Vivek.

     - cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle
       implements custom per-cpu stats.  This patchset make blkcg core
       support both by default.

     - cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of the same stats
       multiple times.  Unify them"

9 years agodma-mapping: consolidate dma_set_mask
Christoph Hellwig [Wed, 9 Sep 2015 22:39:53 +0000 (15:39 -0700)]
dma-mapping: consolidate dma_set_mask

Almost everyone implements dma_set_mask the same way, although some time
that's hidden in ->set_dma_mask methods.

This patch consolidates those into a common implementation that either
calls ->set_dma_mask if present or otherwise uses the default
implementation.  Some architectures used to only call ->set_dma_mask
after the initial checks, and those instance have been fixed to do the
full work.  h8300 implemented dma_set_mask bogusly as a no-ops and has
been fixed.

Unfortunately some architectures overload unrelated semantics like changing
the dma_ops into it so we still need to allow for an architecture override
for now.

9 years agodma-mapping: consolidate dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent

dma-mapping: consolidate dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent

Most architectures do not support non-coherent allocations and either
define dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent to their coherent versions or stub
them out.

Openrisc uses dma_{alloc,free}_attrs to implement them, and only Mips
implements them directly.

This patch moves the Openrisc version to common code, and handles the
DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT case in the mips dma_map_ops instance.

Note that actual non-coherent allocations require a dma_cache_sync
implementation, so if non-coherent allocations didn't work on
an architecture before this patch they still won't work after it.

dma-mapping: consolidate dma_{alloc,free}_{attrs,coherent}

Since 2009 we have a nice asm-generic header implementing lots of DMA API
functions for architectures using struct dma_map_ops, but unfortunately
it's still missing a lot of APIs that all architectures still have to
duplicate.

This series consolidates the remaining functions, although we still need
arch opt outs for two of them as a few architectures have very
non-standard implementations.

This patch (of 5):

The coherent DMA allocator works the same over all architectures supporting
dma_map operations.

This patch consolidates them and converges the minor differences:

 - the debug_dma helpers are now called from all architectures, including
   those that were previously missing them
 - dma_alloc_from_coherent and dma_release_from_coherent are now always
   called from the generic alloc/free routines instead of the ops
   dma-mapping-common.h always includes dma-coherent.h to get the defintions
   for them, or the stubs if the architecture doesn't support this feature
 - checks for ->alloc / ->free presence are removed.  There is only one
   magic instead of dma_map_ops without them (mic_dma_ops) and that one
   is x86 only anyway.

Besides that only x86 needs special treatment to replace a default devices
if none is passed and tweak the gfp_flags.  An optional arch hook is provided
for that.

ipc: convert invalid scenarios to use WARN_ON

Considering Linus' past rants about the (ab)use of BUG in the kernel, I
took a look at how we deal with such calls in ipc.  Given that any errors
or corruption in ipc code are most likely contained within the set of
processes participating in the broken mechanisms, there aren't really many
strong fatal system failure scenarios that would require a BUG call.
Also, if something is seriously wrong, ipc might not be the place for such
a BUG either.

1. For example, recently, a customer hit one of these BUG_ONs in shm
   after failing shm_lock().  A busted ID imho does not merit a BUG_ON,
   and WARN would have been better.

2. MSG_COPY functionality of posix msgrcv(2) for checkpoint/restore.
   I don't see how we can hit this anyway -- at least it should be IS_ERR.
    The 'copy' arg from do_msgrcv is always set by calling prepare_copy()
   first and foremost.  We could also probably drop this check altogether.
    Either way, it does not merit a BUG_ON.

3. No ->fault() callback for the fs getting the corresponding page --
   seems selfish to make the system unusable.

sizeof(note_buf_t) in all ARCHS is smaller than PAGE_SIZE.  Meanwhile add
a BUILD_BUG_ON to break compile if size is bigger than PAGE_SIZE since

kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
 kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c.  In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.

And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.

The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled.  But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.

Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel.  KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.

Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig.  Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

9 years agofs: if a coredump already exists, unlink and recreate with O_EXCL

fs: if a coredump already exists, unlink and recreate with O_EXCL

It was possible for an attacking user to trick root (or another user) into
writing his coredumps into an attacker-readable, pre-existing file using
rename() or link(), causing the disclosure of secret data from the victim
process' virtual memory.  Depending on the configuration, it was also
possible to trick root into overwriting system files with coredumps.  Fix
that issue by never writing coredumps into existing files.

Requirements for the attack:
 - The attack only applies if the victim's process has a nonzero
   RLIMIT_CORE and is dumpable.
 - The attacker can trick the victim into coredumping into an
   attacker-writable directory D, either because the core_pattern is
   relative and the victim's cwd is attacker-writable or because an
   absolute core_pattern pointing to a world-writable directory is used.
 - The attacker has one of these:
  A: on a system with protected_hardlinks=0:
     execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned,
     attacker-readable file on the same partition as D, and the
     victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part of the attack
     takes place. (In practice, there are lots of files that fulfill
     this condition, e.g. entries in Debian's /var/lib/dpkg/info/.)
     This does not apply to most Linux systems because most distros set
     protected_hardlinks=1.
  B: on a system with protected_hardlinks=1:
     execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned,
     attacker-readable and attacker-writable file on the same partition
     as D, and the victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part
     of the attack takes place.
     (This seems to be uncommon.)
  C: on any system, independent of protected_hardlinks:
     write access to a non-sticky folder containing a victim-owned,
     attacker-readable file on the same partition as D
     (This seems to be uncommon.)

The basic idea is that the attacker moves the victim-owned file to where
he expects the victim process to dump its core.  The victim process dumps
its core into the existing file, and the attacker reads the coredump from
it.

If the attacker can't move the file because he does not have write access
to the containing directory, he can instead link the file to a directory
he controls, then wait for the original link to the file to be deleted
(because the kernel checks that the link count of the corefile is 1).

A less reliable variant that requires D to be non-sticky works with link()
and does not require deletion of the original link: link() the file into
D, but then unlink() it directly before the kernel performs the link count
check.

On systems with protected_hardlinks=0, this variant allows an attacker to
not only gain information from coredumps, but also clobber existing,
victim-writable files with coredumps.  (This could theoretically lead to a
privilege escalation.)

unbound properties and thus a wide affinity inherited by all its children.

Now khelper also has special properties that we aren't much interested in:
ordered and singlethread.  There is really no need about ordering as all
we do is creating kernel threads.  This can be done concurrently.  And
singlethread is a useless limitation as well.

The workqueue engine already proposes generic unbound workqueues that
don't share these useless properties and handle well parallel jobs.

The only worrysome specific is their affinity to the node of the current
CPU.  It's fine for creating the usermodehelper kernel threads but those
inherit this affinity for longer jobs such as requesting modules.

kmod: bunch of internal functions renames

This patchset does a bunch of cleanups and converts khelper to use system
unbound workqueues.  The 3 first patches should be uncontroversial.  The
last 2 patches are debatable.

Kmod creates kernel threads that perform userspace jobs and we want those
to have a large affinity in order not to contend busy CPUs.  This is
(partly) why we use khelper which has a wide affinity that the kernel
threads it create can inherit from.  Now khelper is a dedicated workqueue
that has singlethread properties which we aren't interested in.

Hence those two debatable changes:

_ We would like to use generic workqueues. System unbound workqueues are
  a very good candidate but they are not wide affine, only node affine.
  Now probably a node is enough to perform many parallel kmod jobs.

_ We would like to remove the wait_for_helper kernel thread (UMH_WAIT_PROC
  handler) to use the workqueue. It means that if the workqueue blocks,
  and no other worker can take pending kmod request, we can be screwed.
  Now if we have 512 threads, this should be enough.

This patch (of 5):

Underscores on function names aren't much verbose to explain the purpose
of a function.  And kmod has interesting such flavours.

Lets rename the following functions:

* __call_usermodehelper -> call_usermodehelper_exec_work
* ____call_usermodehelper -> call_usermodehelper_exec_async
* wait_for_helper -> call_usermodehelper_exec_sync

This is an identical change to the corresponding hfs b-tree code to Sergei

9 years agohfs,hfsplus: cache pages correctly between bnode_create and bnode_free
Hin-Tak Leung [Wed, 9 Sep 2015 22:38:04 +0000 (15:38 -0700)]
hfs,hfsplus: cache pages correctly between bnode_create and bnode_free

Pages looked up by __hfs_bnode_create() (called by hfs_bnode_create() and
hfs_bnode_find() for finding or creating pages corresponding to an inode)
are immediately kmap()'ed and used (both read and write) and kunmap()'ed,
and should not be page_cache_release()'ed until hfs_bnode_free().

This patch fixes a problem I first saw in July 2012: merely running "du"
on a large hfsplus-mounted directory a few times on a reasonably loaded
system would get the hfsplus driver all confused and complaining about
B-tree inconsistencies, and generates a "BUG: Bad page state".  Most
recently, I can generate this problem on up-to-date Fedora 22 with shipped
kernel 4.0.5, by running "du /" (="/" + "/home" + "/mnt" + other smaller
mounts) and "du /mnt" simultaneously on two windows, where /mnt is a
lightly-used QEMU VM image of the full Mac OS X 10.9:

$ df -i / /home /mnt
Filesystem                  Inodes   IUsed      IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/fedora-root    3276800  551665    2725135   17% /
/dev/mapper/fedora-home   52879360  716221   52163139    2% /home
/dev/nbd0p2             4294967295 1387818 4293579477    1% /mnt

After applying the patch, I was able to run "du /" (60+ times) and "du
/mnt" (150+ times) continuously and simultaneously for 6+ hours.

There are many reports of the hfsplus driver getting confused under load
and generating "BUG: Bad page state" or other similar issues over the
years.  [1]

The unpatched code [2] has always been wrong since it entered the kernel
tree.  The only reason why it gets away with it is that the
kmap/memcpy/kunmap follow very quickly after the page_cache_release() so
the kernel has not had a chance to reuse the memory for something else,
most of the time.

The current RW driver appears to have followed the design and development
of the earlier read-only hfsplus driver [3], where-by version 0.1 (Dec
2001) had a B-tree node-centric approach to
read_cache_page()/page_cache_release() per bnode_get()/bnode_put(),
migrating towards version 0.2 (June 2002) of caching and releasing pages
per inode extents.  When the current RW code first entered the kernel [2]
in 2005, there was an REF_PAGES conditional (and "//" commented out code)
to switch between B-node centric paging to inode-centric paging.  There
was a mistake with the direction of one of the REF_PAGES conditionals in
__hfs_bnode_create().  In a subsequent "remove debug code" commit [4], the
read_cache_page()/page_cache_release() per bnode_get()/bnode_put() were
removed, but a page_cache_release() was mistakenly left in (propagating
the "REF_PAGES <-> !REF_PAGE" mistake), and the commented-out
page_cache_release() in bnode_release() (which should be spanned by
!REF_PAGES) was never enabled.

9 years agofs/coda: fix readlink buffer overflow
Jan Harkes [Wed, 9 Sep 2015 22:38:01 +0000 (15:38 -0700)]
fs/coda: fix readlink buffer overflow

Dan Carpenter discovered a buffer overflow in the Coda file system
readlink code.  A userspace file system daemon can return a 4096 byte
result which then triggers a one byte write past the allocated readlink
result buffer.

This does not trigger with an unmodified Coda implementation because Coda
has a 1024 byte limit for symbolic links, however other userspace file
systems using the Coda kernel module could be affected.

Although this is an obvious overflow, I don't think this has to be handled
as too sensitive from a security perspective because the overflow is on
the Coda userspace daemon side which already needs root to open Coda's
kernel device and to mount the file system before we get to the point that
links can be read.

dev_dbg() & friends.  Currently it will adhere to dynamic debug, but will
not stub out prints if CONFIG_DEBUG is not set.  Let's make it do the
right thing, because I am tired of having my dmesg buffer full of hex

proc: change proc_subdir_lock to a rwlock

The proc_subdir_lock spinlock is used to allow only one task to make
change to the proc directory structure as well as looking up information
in it.  However, the information lookup part can actually be entered by
more than one task as the pde_get() and pde_put() reference count update
calls in the critical sections are atomic increment and decrement
respectively and so are safe with concurrent updates.

The x86 architecture has already used qrwlock which is fair and other
architectures like ARM are in the process of switching to qrwlock.  So
unfairness shouldn't be a concern in that conversion.

This patch changed the proc_subdir_lock to a rwlock in order to enable
concurrent lookup. The following functions were modified to take a
write lock:
 - proc_register()
 - remove_proc_entry()
 - remove_proc_subtree()

The following functions were modified to take a read lock:
 - xlate_proc_name()
 - proc_lookup_de()
 - proc_readdir_de()

A parallel /proc filesystem search with the "find" command (1000 threads)
was run on a 4-socket Haswell-EX box (144 threads).  Before the patch, the
parallel search took about 39s.  After the patch, the parallel find took
only 25s, a saving of about 14s.

The micro-benchmark that I used was artificial, but it was used to
reproduce an exit hanging problem that I saw in real application.  In
fact, only allow one task to do a lookup seems too limiting to me.

9 years agoprocfs: always expose /proc/<pid>/map_files/ and make it readable

procfs: always expose /proc/<pid>/map_files/ and make it readable

Currently, /proc/<pid>/map_files/ is restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and is
only exposed if CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set.

Each mapped file region gets a symlink in /proc/<pid>/map_files/
corresponding to the virtual address range at which it is mapped.  The
symlinks work like the symlinks in /proc/<pid>/fd/, so you can follow them
to the backing file even if that backing file has been unlinked.

Currently, files which are mapped, unlinked, and closed are impossible to
stat() from userspace.  Exposing /proc/<pid>/map_files/ closes this
functionality "hole".

Not being able to stat() such files makes noticing and explicitly
accounting for the space they use on the filesystem impossible.  You can
work around this by summing up the space used by every file in the
filesystem and subtracting that total from what statfs() tells you, but
that obviously isn't great, and it becomes unworkable once your filesystem
becomes large enough.

This patch moves map_files/ out from behind CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE, and
adjusts the permissions enforced on it as follows:

* proc_map_files_lookup()
* proc_map_files_readdir()
* map_files_d_revalidate()

Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN restriction, leaving only the current
restriction requiring PTRACE_MODE_READ. The information made
available to userspace by these three functions is already
available in /proc/PID/maps with MODE_READ, so I don't see any
reason to limit them any further (see below for more detail).

* proc_map_files_follow_link()

This stub has been added, and requires that the user have
CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to follow the links in map_files/,
since there was concern on LKML both about the potential for
bypassing permissions on ancestor directories in the path to
files pointed to, and about what happens with more exotic
memory mappings created by some drivers (ie dma-buf).

In older versions of this patch, I changed every permission check in
the four functions above to enforce MODE_ATTACH instead of MODE_READ.
This was an oversight on my part, and after revisiting the discussion
it seems that nobody was concerned about anything outside of what is
made possible by ->follow_link(). So in this version, I've left the
checks for PTRACE_MODE_READ as-is.

9 years agomm: introduce idle page tracking
Vladimir Davydov [Wed, 9 Sep 2015 22:35:45 +0000 (15:35 -0700)]
mm: introduce idle page tracking

Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or
memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system
efficiently, e.g.  by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately.
Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided
by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the
access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to
clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced.  However,
this method has two serious shortcomings:

 - it does not count unmapped file pages
 - it affects the reclaimer logic

To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags,
Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap.
A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page,
and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables
(it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2)
system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for
pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g.  by reading
/proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its
working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount
of pages that are not used by the workload.

The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory
reclaimer.  A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page
table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file.
If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its
return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was
cleared.

Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature
uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.

9 years agomemcg: add page_cgroup_ino helper
Vladimir Davydov [Wed, 9 Sep 2015 22:35:28 +0000 (15:35 -0700)]
memcg: add page_cgroup_ino helper

This patchset introduces a new user API for tracking user memory pages
that have not been used for a given period of time.  The purpose of this
is to provide the userspace with the means of tracking a workload's
working set, i.e.  the set of pages that are actively used by the
workload.  Knowing the working set size can be useful for partitioning the
system more efficiently, e.g.  by tuning memory cgroup limits
appropriately, or for job placement within a compute cluster.

==== USE CASES ====

The unified cgroup hierarchy has memory.low and memory.high knobs, which
are defined as the low and high boundaries for the workload working set
size.  However, the working set size of a workload may be unknown or
change in time.  With this patch set, one can periodically estimate the
amount of memory unused by each cgroup and tune their memory.low and
memory.high parameters accordingly, therefore optimizing the overall
memory utilization.

Another use case is balancing workloads within a compute cluster.  Knowing
how much memory is not really used by a workload unit may help take a more
optimal decision when considering migrating the unit to another node
within the cluster.

Also, as noted by Minchan, this would be useful for per-process reclaim
(https://lwn.net/Articles/545668/). With idle tracking, we could reclaim idle
pages only by smart user memory manager.

==== USER API ====

The user API consists of two new files:

 * /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap.  This file implements a bitmap where each
   bit corresponds to a page, indexed by PFN. When the bit is set, the
   corresponding page is idle. A page is considered idle if it has not been
   accessed since it was marked idle. To mark a page idle one should set the
   bit corresponding to the page by writing to the file. A value written to the
   file is OR-ed with the current bitmap value. Only user memory pages can be
   marked idle, for other page types input is silently ignored. Writing to this
   file beyond max PFN results in the ENXIO error. Only available when
   CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING is set.

   This file can be used to estimate the amount of pages that are not
   used by a particular workload as follows:

   1. mark all pages of interest idle by setting corresponding bits in the
      /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap
   2. wait until the workload accesses its working set
   3. read /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap and count the number of bits set

 * /proc/kpagecgroup.  This file contains a 64-bit inode number of the
   memory cgroup each page is charged to, indexed by PFN. Only available when
   CONFIG_MEMCG is set.

   This file can be used to find all pages (including unmapped file pages)
   accounted to a particular cgroup. Using /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap, one
   can then estimate the cgroup working set size.

For an example of using these files for estimating the amount of unused
memory pages per each memory cgroup, please see the script attached
below.

==== REASONING ====

The reason to introduce the new user API instead of using
/proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps} is that the latter has two serious
drawbacks:

 - it does not count unmapped file pages
 - it affects the reclaimer logic

The new API attempts to overcome them both. For more details on how it
is achieved, please see the comment to patch 6.

==== PATCHSET STRUCTURE ====

The patch set is organized as follows:

 - patch 1 adds page_cgroup_ino() helper for the sake of
   /proc/kpagecgroup and patches 2-3 do related cleanup
 - patch 4 adds /proc/kpagecgroup, which reports cgroup ino each page is
   charged to
 - patch 5 introduces a new mmu notifier callback, clear_young, which is
   a lightweight version of clear_flush_young; it is used in patch 6
 - patch 6 implements the idle page tracking feature, including the
   userspace API, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap
 - patch 7 exports idle flag via /proc/kpageflags

==== SIMILAR WORKS ====

Originally, the patch for tracking idle memory was proposed back in 2011
by Michel Lespinasse (see http://lwn.net/Articles/459269/).  The main
difference between Michel's patch and this one is that Michel implemented
a kernel space daemon for estimating idle memory size per cgroup while
this patch only provides the userspace with the minimal API for doing the
job, leaving the rest up to the userspace.  However, they both share the
same idea of Idle/Young page flags to avoid affecting the reclaimer logic.

==== PERFORMANCE EVALUATION ====

SPECjvm2008 (https://www.spec.org/jvm2008/) was used to evaluate the
performance impact introduced by this patch set.  Three runs were carried
out:

 - base: kernel without the patch
 - patched: patched kernel, the feature is not used
 - patched-active: patched kernel, 1 minute-period daemon is used for
   tracking idle memory

For tracking idle memory, idlememstat utility was used:

9 years agotcp_cubic: better follow cubic curve after idle period

tcp_cubic: better follow cubic curve after idle period

Jana Iyengar found an interesting issue on CUBIC :

The epoch is only updated/reset initially and when experiencing losses.
The delta "t" of now - epoch_start can be arbitrary large after app idle
as well as the bic_target. Consequentially the slope (inverse of
ca->cnt) would be really large, and eventually ca->cnt would be
lower-bounded in the end to 2 to have delayed-ACK slow-start behavior.

This particularly shows up when slow_start_after_idle is disabled
as a dangerous cwnd inflation (1.5 x RTT) after few seconds of idle
time.

Jana initial fix was to reset epoch_start if app limited,
but Neal pointed out it would ask the CUBIC algorithm to recalculate the
curve so that we again start growing steeply upward from where cwnd is
now (as CUBIC does just after a loss). Ideally we'd want the cwnd growth
curve to be the same shape, just shifted later in time by the amount of
the idle period.

9 years agonetlink, mmap: fix edge-case leakages in nf queue zero-copy
Daniel Borkmann [Thu, 10 Sep 2015 00:10:57 +0000 (02:10 +0200)]
netlink, mmap: fix edge-case leakages in nf queue zero-copy

When netlink mmap on receive side is the consumer of nf queue data,
it can happen that in some edge cases, we write skb shared info into
the user space mmap buffer:

Assume a possible rx ring frame size of only 4096, and the network skb,
which is being zero-copied into the netlink skb, contains page frags
with an overall skb->len larger than the linear part of the netlink
skb.

skb_zerocopy(), which is generic and thus not aware of the fact that
shared info cannot be accessed for such skbs then tries to write and
fill frags, thus leaking kernel data/pointers and in some corner cases
possibly writing out of bounds of the mmap area (when filling the
last slot in the ring buffer this way).

I.e. the ring buffer slot is then of status NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID, has
an advertised length larger than 4096, where the linear part is visible
at the slot beginning, and the leaked sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)
has been written to the beginning of the next slot (also corrupting
the struct nl_mmap_hdr slot header incl. status etc), since skb->end
points to skb->data + ring->frame_size - NL_MMAP_HDRLEN.

The fix adds and lets __netlink_alloc_skb() take the actual needed
linear room for the network skb + meta data into account. It's completely
irrelevant for non-mmaped netlink sockets, but in case mmap sockets
are used, it can be decided whether the available skb_tailroom() is
really large enough for the buffer, or whether it needs to internally
fallback to a normal alloc_skb().

>From nf queue side, the information whether the destination port is
an mmap RX ring is not really available without extra port-to-socket
lookup, thus it can only be determined in lower layers i.e. when
__netlink_alloc_skb() is called that checks internally for this. I
chose to add the extra ldiff parameter as mmap will then still work:
We have data_len and hlen in nfqnl_build_packet_message(), data_len
is the full length (capped at queue->copy_range) for skb_zerocopy()
and hlen some possible part of data_len that needs to be copied; the
rem_len variable indicates the needed remaining linear mmap space.

The only other workaround in nf queue internally would be after
allocation time by f.e. cap'ing the data_len to the skb_tailroom()
iff we deal with an mmap skb, but that would 1) expose the fact that
we use a mmap skb to upper layers, and 2) trim the skb where we
otherwise could just have moved the full skb into the normal receive
queue.

After the patch, in my test case the ring slot doesn't fit and therefore
shows NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY, where a full skb carries all the data and
thus needs to be picked up via recv().

9 years agonetlink, mmap: don't walk rx ring on poll if receive queue non-empty
Daniel Borkmann [Wed, 9 Sep 2015 23:20:46 +0000 (01:20 +0200)]
netlink, mmap: don't walk rx ring on poll if receive queue non-empty

In case of netlink mmap, there can be situations where received frames
have to be placed into the normal receive queue. The ring buffer indicates
this through NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY, so the user is asked to pick them up
via recvmsg(2) syscall, and to put the slot back to NL_MMAP_STATUS_UNUSED.

Commit 0ef707700f1c ("netlink: rx mmap: fix POLLIN condition") changed
polling, so that we walk in the worst case the whole ring through the
new netlink_has_valid_frame(), for example, when the ring would have no
NL_MMAP_STATUS_VALID, but at least one NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY frame.

Since we do a datagram_poll() already earlier to pick up a mask that could
possibly contain POLLIN | POLLRDNORM already (due to NL_MMAP_STATUS_COPY),
we can skip checking the rx ring entirely.

In case the kernel is compiled with !CONFIG_NETLINK_MMAP, then all this is
irrelevant anyway as netlink_poll() is just defined as datagram_poll().

net: fec: add netif status check before set mac address

There exist one issue by below case that case system hang:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:10:19:19:81:19

After eth0 down, all fec clocks are gated off. In the .fec_set_mac_address()
function, it will set new MAC address to registers, which causes system hang.

So it needs to add netif status check to avoid registers access when clocks are
gated off. Until eth0 up the new MAC address are wrote into related registers.

As Lucas Stach's suggestion, add a comment in the code to explain why it needed.
