proc: revalidate misc dentries

2018-04-14T00:10:27+00:00

If module removes proc directory while another process pins it by
chdir'ing to it, then subsequent recreation of proc entry and all
entries down the tree will not be visible to any process until pinning
process unchdir from directory and unpins everything.

Steps to reproduce:

	proc_mkdir("aaa", NULL);
	proc_create("aaa/bbb", ...);

		chdir("/proc/aaa");

	remove_proc_entry("aaa/bbb", NULL);
	remove_proc_entry("aaa", NULL);

	proc_mkdir("aaa", NULL);
	# inaccessible because "aaa" dentry still points
	# to the original "aaa".
	proc_create("aaa/bbb", ...);

Fix is to implement ->d_revalidate and ->d_delete.

proc: use slower rb_first()

2018-04-11T17:28:34+00:00

In a typical for /proc "open+read+close" usecase, dentry is looked up
successfully on open only to be killed in dput() on close.  In fact
dentries which aren't /proc/*/...  and /proc/sys/* were almost NEVER
CACHED.  Simple printk in proc_lookup_de() shows that.

Now that ->delete hook intelligently picks which dentries should live in
dcache and which should not, rbtree caching is not necessary as dcache
does it job, at last!

As a side effect, struct proc_dir_entry shrinks by one pointer which can
go into inline name.

proc: switch struct proc_dir_entry::count to refcount

2018-04-11T17:28:34+00:00

->count is honest reference count unlike ->in_use.

proc: reject "." and ".." as filenames

2018-04-11T17:28:34+00:00

Various subsystems can create files and directories in /proc with names
directly controlled by userspace.

Which means "/", "." and ".." are no-no.

"/" split is already taken care of, do the other 2 prohibited names.

proc: move "struct proc_dir_entry" into kmem cache

2018-04-11T17:28:34+00:00

"struct proc_dir_entry" is variable sized because of 0-length trailing
array for name, however, because of SLAB padding allocations it is
possible to make "struct proc_dir_entry" fixed sized and allocate same
amount of memory.

It buys fine-grained debugging with poisoning and usercopy protection
which is not possible with kmalloc-* caches.

Currently, on 32-bit 91+ byte allocations go into kmalloc-128 and on
64-bit 147+ byte allocations go to kmalloc-192 anyway.

Additional memory is allocated only for 38/46+ byte long names which are
rare or may not even exist in the wild.

proc: rearrange args

2018-02-07T02:32:43+00:00

Rearrange args for smaller code.

lookup revolves around memcmp() which gets len 3rd arg, so propagate
length as 3rd arg.

readdir and lookup add additional arg to VFS ->readdir and ->lookup, so
better add it to the end.

Space savings on x86_64:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-18 (-18)
	Function                                     old     new   delta
	proc_readdir                                  22      13      -9
	proc_lookup                                   18       9      -9

proc_match() is smaller if not inlined, I promise!

procfs: use faster rb_first_cached()

2017-09-09T01:26:49+00:00

...  such that we can avoid the tree walks to get the node with the
smallest key.  Semantically the same, as the previously used rb_first(),
but O(1).  The main overhead is the extra footprint for the cached rb_node
pointer, which should not matter for procfs.

proc: Fix unbalanced hard link numbers

2017-04-29T02:05:26+00:00

proc_create_mount_point() forgot to increase the parent's nlink, and
it resulted in unbalanced hard link numbers, e.g. /proc/fs shows one
less than expected.
