cgroupns: Only allow creation of hierarchies in the initial cgroup namespace

2016-08-20T16:10:58+00:00

commit 726a4994b05ff5b6f83d64b5b43c3251217366ce upstream.

Unprivileged users can't use hierarchies if they create them as they do not
have privilieges to the root directory.

Which means the only thing a hiearchy created by an unprivileged user
is good for is expanding the number of cgroup links in every css_set,
which is a DOS attack.

We could allow hierarchies to be created in namespaces in the initial
user namespace.  Unfortunately there is only a single namespace for
the names of heirarchies, so that is likely to create more confusion
than not.

So do the simple thing and restrict hiearchy creation to the initial
cgroup namespace.

cgroupns: Close race between cgroup_post_fork and copy_cgroup_ns

2016-08-20T16:10:58+00:00

commit eedd0f4cbf5f3b81e82649832091e1d9d53f0709 upstream.

In most code paths involving cgroup migration cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem
is taken.  There are two exceptions:

- remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset calls cgroup_transfer_tasks
- vhost_attach_cgroups_work calls cgroup_attach_task_all

With cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem held it is guaranteed that cgroup_post_fork
and copy_cgroup_ns will reference the same css_set from the process calling
fork.

Without such an interlock there process after fork could reference one
css_set from it's new cgroup namespace and another css_set from
task->cgroups, which semantically is nonsensical.

cgroupns: Fix the locking in copy_cgroup_ns

2016-08-20T16:10:58+00:00

commit 7bd8830875bfa380c68f390efbad893293749324 upstream.

If "clone(CLONE_NEWCGROUP...)" is called it results in a nice lockdep
valid splat.

In __cgroup_proc_write the lock ordering is:
     cgroup_mutex -- through cgroup_kn_lock_live
     cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem

In copy_process the guts of clone the lock ordering is:
     cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem -- through threadgroup_change_begin
     cgroup_mutex -- through copy_namespaces -- copy_cgroup_ns

lockdep reports some a different call chains for the first ordering of
cgroup_mutex and cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem but it is harder to trace.
This is most definitely deadlock potential under the right
circumstances.

Fix this by by skipping the cgroup_mutex and making the locking in
copy_cgroup_ns mirror the locking in cgroup_post_fork which also runs
during fork under the cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem.

this problem - and other problems of sharing a spinlock with an

cgroup: set css->id to -1 during init

2016-06-16T21:59:35+00:00

If percpu_ref initialization fails during css_create(), the free path
can end up trying to free css->id of zero.  As ID 0 is unused, it
doesn't cause a critical breakage but it does trigger a warning
message.  Fix it by setting css->id to -1 from init_and_link_css().

cgroup: remove redundant cleanup in css_create

2016-05-26T19:09:23+00:00

When create css failed, before call css_free_rcu_fn, we remove the css
id and exit the percpu_ref, but we will do these again in
css_free_work_fn, so they are redundant.  Especially the css id, that
would cause problem if we remove it twice, since it may be assigned to
another css after the first remove.

tj: This was broken by two commits updating the free path without
    synchronizing the creation failure path.  This can be easily
    triggered by trying to create more than 64k memory cgroups.

cgroup, kernfs: make mountinfo show properly scoped path for cgroup namespaces

2016-05-09T16:15:03+00:00

Patch summary:

When showing a cgroupfs entry in mountinfo, show the path of the mount
root dentry relative to the reader's cgroup namespace root.

Short explanation (courtesy of mkerrisk):

If we create a new cgroup namespace, then we want both /proc/self/cgroup
and /proc/self/mountinfo to show cgroup paths that are correctly
virtualized with respect to the cgroup mount point.  Previous to this
patch, /proc/self/cgroup shows the right info, but /proc/self/mountinfo
does not.

Long version:

When a uid 0 task which is in freezer cgroup /a/b, unshares a new cgroup
namespace, and then mounts a new instance of the freezer cgroup, the new
mount will be rooted at /a/b.  The root dentry field of the mountinfo
entry will show '/a/b'.

 cat > /tmp/do1 << EOF
 mount -t cgroup -o freezer freezer /mnt
 grep freezer /proc/self/mountinfo
 EOF

 unshare -Gm  bash /tmp/do1
 > 330 160 0:34 / /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime - cgroup cgroup rw,freezer
 > 355 133 0:34 /a/b /mnt rw,relatime - cgroup freezer rw,freezer

The task's freezer cgroup entry in /proc/self/cgroup will simply show
'/':

 grep freezer /proc/self/cgroup
 9:freezer:/

If instead the same task simply bind mounts the /a/b cgroup directory,
the resulting mountinfo entry will again show /a/b for the dentry root.
However in this case the task will find its own cgroup at /mnt/a/b,
not at /mnt:

 mount --bind /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/a/b /mnt
 130 25 0:34 /a/b /mnt rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:21 - cgroup cgroup rw,freezer

In other words, there is no way for the task to know, based on what is
in mountinfo, which cgroup directory is its own.

Example (by mkerrisk):

First, a little script to save some typing and verbiage:

echo -e "\t/proc/self/cgroup:\t$(cat /proc/self/cgroup | grep freezer)"
cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep freezer |
        awk '{print "\tmountinfo:\t\t" $4 "\t" $5}'

Create cgroup, place this shell into the cgroup, and look at the state
of the /proc files:

2653
2653                         # Our shell
14254                        # cat(1)
        /proc/self/cgroup:      10:freezer:/a/b
        mountinfo:              /       /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer

Create a shell in new cgroup and mount namespaces. The act of creating
a new cgroup namespace causes the process's current cgroups directories
to become its cgroup root directories. (Here, I'm using my own version
of the "unshare" utility, which takes the same options as the util-linux
version):

Look at the state of the /proc files:

        /proc/self/cgroup:      10:freezer:/
        mountinfo:              /       /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer

The third entry in /proc/self/cgroup (the pathname of the cgroup inside
the hierarchy) is correctly virtualized w.r.t. the cgroup namespace, which
is rooted at /a/b in the outer namespace.

However, the info in /proc/self/mountinfo is not for this cgroup
namespace, since we are seeing a duplicate of the mount from the
old mount namespace, and the info there does not correspond to the
new cgroup namespace. However, trying to create a new mount still
doesn't show us the right information in mountinfo:

                                      # propagating to other mountns
        /proc/self/cgroup:      7:freezer:/
        mountinfo:              /a/b    /mnt/freezer

The act of creating a new cgroup namespace caused the process's
current freezer directory, "/a/b", to become its cgroup freezer root
directory. In other words, the pathname directory of the directory
within the newly mounted cgroup filesystem should be "/",
but mountinfo wrongly shows us "/a/b". The consequence of this is
that the process in the cgroup namespace cannot correctly construct
the pathname of its cgroup root directory from the information in
/proc/PID/mountinfo.

With this patch, the dentry root field in mountinfo is shown relative
to the reader's cgroup namespace.  So the same steps as above:

        /proc/self/cgroup:      10:freezer:/a/b
        mountinfo:              /       /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer
        /proc/self/cgroup:      10:freezer:/
        mountinfo:              /../..  /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer
        /proc/self/cgroup:      10:freezer:/
        mountinfo:              /       /mnt/freezer

cgroup, cpuset: replace cpuset_post_attach_flush() with cgroup_subsys->post_attach callback

2016-04-25T19:45:14+00:00

Since e93ad19d0564 ("cpuset: make mm migration asynchronous"), cpuset
kicks off asynchronous NUMA node migration if necessary during task
migration and flushes it from cpuset_post_attach_flush() which is
called at the end of __cgroup_procs_write().  This is to avoid
performing migration with cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem write-locked which
can lead to deadlock through dependency on kworker creation.

memcg has a similar issue with charge moving, so let's convert it to
an official callback rather than the current one-off cpuset specific
function.  This patch adds cgroup_subsys->post_attach callback and
makes cpuset register cpuset_post_attach_flush() as its ->post_attach.

The conversion is mostly one-to-one except that the new callback is
called under cgroup_mutex.  This is to guarantee that no other
migration operations are started before ->post_attach callbacks are
finished.  cgroup_mutex is one of the outermost mutex in the system
and has never been and shouldn't be a problem.  We can add specialized
synchronization around __cgroup_procs_write() but I don't think
there's any noticeable benefit.
