commit 96e99be40e4cff870a83233731121ec0f7f95075 upstream.

A pipe's size is represented as an 'unsigned int'.  As expected, writing a
value greater than UINT_MAX to /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size fails with
EINVAL.  However, the F_SETPIPE_SZ fcntl silently truncates such values to
32 bits, rather than failing with EINVAL as expected.  (It *does* fail
with EINVAL for values above (1 &lt;&lt; 31) but &lt;= UINT_MAX.)

Fix this by moving the check against UINT_MAX into round_pipe_size() which
is called in both cases.

commit 319e0a21bb7823abbb4818fe2724e572bbac77a2 upstream.

pipe_proc_fn() is no longer needed, as it only calls through to
proc_dopipe_max_size().  Just put proc_dopipe_max_size() in the ctl_table
entry directly, and remove the unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the ENOSYS
stub for it.

(The reason the ENOSYS stub isn't needed is that the pipe-max-size
ctl_table entry is located directly in 'kern_table' rather than being
registered separately.  Therefore, the entry is already only defined when
the kernel is built with sysctl support.)

commit 4c2e4befb3cc9ce42d506aa537c9ab504723e98c upstream.

Patch series "pipe: buffer limits fixes and cleanups", v2.

This series simplifies the sysctl handler for pipe-max-size and fixes
another set of bugs related to the pipe buffer limits:

- The root user wasn't allowed to exceed the limits when creating new
  pipes.

- There was an off-by-one error when checking the limits, so a limit of
  N was actually treated as N - 1.

- F_SETPIPE_SZ accepted values over UINT_MAX.

- Reading the pipe buffer limits could be racy.

This patch (of 7):

Before validating the given value against pipe_min_size,
do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv() calls round_pipe_size(), which rounds the
value up to pipe_min_size.  Therefore, the second check against
pipe_min_size is redundant.  Remove it.

<title>pipe: add proc_dopipe_max_size() to safely assign pipe_max_size</title>

commit 7a8d181949fb2c16be00f8cdb354794a30e46b39 upstream.

pipe_max_size is assigned directly via procfs sysctl:

  static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = {
          ...
          {
                  .procname       = "pipe-max-size",
                  .data           = &amp;pipe_max_size,
                  .maxlen         = sizeof(int),
                  .mode           = 0644,
                  .proc_handler   = &amp;pipe_proc_fn,
                  .extra1         = &amp;pipe_min_size,
          },
          ...

  int pipe_proc_fn(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void __user *buf,
                   size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos)
  {
          ...
          ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(table, write, buf, lenp, ppos)
          ...

and then later rounded in-place a few statements later:

          ...
          pipe_max_size = round_pipe_size(pipe_max_size);
          ...

This leaves a window of time between initial assignment and rounding
that may be visible to other threads.  (For example, one thread sets a
non-rounded value to pipe_max_size while another reads its value.)

Similar reads of pipe_max_size are potentially racy:

  pipe.c :: alloc_pipe_info()
  pipe.c :: pipe_set_size()

Add a new proc_dopipe_max_size() that consolidates reading the new value
from the user buffer, verifying bounds, and calling round_pipe_size()
with a single assignment to pipe_max_size.

<title>pipe: limit the per-user amount of pages allocated in pipes</title>

commit 759c01142a5d0f364a462346168a56de28a80f52 upstream.

On no-so-small systems, it is possible for a single process to cause an
OOM condition by filling large pipes with data that are never read. A
typical process filling 4000 pipes with 1 MB of data will use 4 GB of
memory. On small systems it may be tricky to set the pipe max size to
prevent this from happening.

This patch makes it possible to enforce a per-user soft limit above
which new pipes will be limited to a single page, effectively limiting
them to 4 kB each, as well as a hard limit above which no new pipes may
be created for this user. This has the effect of protecting the system
against memory abuse without hurting other users, and still allowing
pipes to work correctly though with less data at once.

The limit are controlled by two new sysctls : pipe-user-pages-soft, and
pipe-user-pages-hard. Both may be disabled by setting them to zero. The
default soft limit allows the default number of FDs per process (1024)
to create pipes of the default size (64kB), thus reaching a limit of 64MB
before starting to create only smaller pipes. With 256 processes limited
to 1024 FDs each, this results in 1024*64kB + (256*1024 - 1024) * 4kB =
1084 MB of memory allocated for a user. The hard limit is disabled by
default to avoid breaking existing applications that make intensive use
of pipes (eg: for splicing).

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
  window.

  Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
  work.  There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
  merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
  boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
  splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
  the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
  (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
  mainline and with some I want more testing.

  This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
  usual beating.  BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
  giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
  memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
  positive, might be a real regression..."

This patch fix spelling typo in Documentation/DocBook.
It is because .html and .xml files are generated by make htmldocs,
I have to fix a typo within the source files.

Having this struct in module memory could Oops when if the module is
unloaded while the buffer still persists in a pipe.

Since sock_pipe_buf_ops is essentially the same as fuse_dev_pipe_buf_steal
merge them into nosteal_pipe_buf_ops (this is the same as
default_pipe_buf_ops except stealing the page from the buffer is not
allowed).
