cgroup: fix broken file xattrs

2013-05-08T03:33:11+00:00

commit 712317ad97f41e738e1a19aa0a6392a78a84094e upstream.

We should store file xattrs in struct cfent instead of struct cftype,
because cftype is a type while cfent is object instance of cftype.

For example each cgroup has a tasks file, and each tasks file is
associated with a uniq cfent, but all those files share the same
struct cftype.

Alexey Kodanev reported a crash, which can be reproduced:

  # mount -t cgroup -o xattr /sys/fs/cgroup
  # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
  # setfattr -n trusted.value -v test_value /sys/fs/cgroup/tasks
  # rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
  # umount /sys/fs/cgroup
  oops!

In this case, simple_xattrs_free() will free the same struct simple_xattrs
twice.

tj: Dropped unused local variable @cft from cgroup_diput().

cgroup: fix an off-by-one bug which may trigger BUG_ON()

2013-05-08T03:33:11+00:00

commit 3ac1707a13a3da9cfc8f242a15b2fae6df2c5f88 upstream.

The 3rd parameter of flex_array_prealloc() is the number of elements,
not the index of the last element.

The effect of the bug is, when opening cgroup.procs, a flex array will
be allocated and all elements of the array is allocated with
GFP_KERNEL flag, but the last one is GFP_ATOMIC, and if we fail to
allocate memory for it, it'll trigger a BUG_ON().

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators

2013-02-28T03:10:24+00:00

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2013-02-27T04:16:07+00:00

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
 "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
  locking violations, etc.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

cgroup: fail if monitored file and event_control are in different cgroup

2013-02-18T17:31:35+00:00

If we pass fd of memory.usage_in_bytes of cgroup A to cgroup.event_control
of cgroup B, then we won't get memory usage notification from A but B!

What's worse, if A and B are in different mount hierarchy, we'll end up
accessing NULL pointer!

Disallow this kind of invalid usage.

cgroup: fix cgroup_rmdir() vs close(eventfd) race

2013-02-18T17:17:24+00:00

commit 205a872bd6f9a9a09ef035ef1e90185a8245cc58 ("cgroup: fix lockdep
warning for event_control") solved a deadlock by introducing a new
bug.

Move cgrp->event_list to a temporary list doesn't mean you can traverse
this list locklessly, because at the same time cgroup_event_wake() can
be called and remove the event from the list. The result of this race
is disastrous.

We adopt the way how kvm irqfd code implements race-free event removal,
which is now described in the comments in cgroup_event_wake().

v3:
- call eventfd_signal() no matter it's eventfd close or cgroup removal
that removes the cgroup event.

cgroup: fix exit() vs rmdir() race

2013-02-18T17:08:10+00:00

In cgroup_exit() put_css_set_taskexit() is called without any lock,
which might lead to accessing a freed cgroup:

thread1                           thread2
---------------------------------------------
exit()
  cgroup_exit()
    put_css_set_taskexit()
      atomic_dec(cgrp->count);
                                   rmdir();
      /* not safe !! */
      check_for_release(cgrp);

rcu_read_lock() can be used to make sure the cgroup is alive.
