Using this helper removes an in-kernel call to the sys_pipe2() syscall.
This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:
for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done
with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.
The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

The pipe buffer limits are accessed without any locking, and may be
changed at any time by the sysctl handlers. In theory this could cause
problems for expressions like the following:
pipe_user_pages_hard && user_bufs > pipe_user_pages_hard
... since the assembly code might reference the 'pipe_user_pages_hard'
memory location multiple times, and if the admin removes the limit by
setting it to 0, there is a very brief window where processes could
incorrectly observe the limit to be exceeded.
Fix this by loading the limits with READ_ONCE() prior to use.

round_pipe_size() calculates the number of pages the requested size
corresponds to, then rounds the page count up to the next power of 2.
However, it also rounds everything < PAGE_SIZE up to PAGE_SIZE.
Therefore, there's no need to actually translate the size into a page
count; we just need to round the size up to the next power of 2.
We do need to verify the size isn't greater than (1 << 31), since on
32-bit systems roundup_pow_of_two() would be undefined in that case. But
that can just be combined with the UINT_MAX check which we need anyway
now.
Finally, update pipe_set_size() to not redundantly check the return value
of round_pipe_size() for the "invalid size" case twice.

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 << 31) but <= UINT_MAX.)
Fix this by moving the check against UINT_MAX into round_pipe_size() which
is called in both cases.

pipe-user-pages-hard and pipe-user-pages-soft are only supposed to apply
to unprivileged users, as documented in both Documentation/sysctl/fs.txt
and the pipe(7) man page.
However, the capabilities are actually only checked when increasing a
pipe's size using F_SETPIPE_SZ, not when creating a new pipe. Therefore,
if pipe-user-pages-hard has been set, the root user can run into it and be
unable to create pipes. Similarly, if pipe-user-pages-soft has been set,
the root user can run into it and have their pipes limited to 1 page each.
Fix this by allowing the privileged override in both cases.

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.)

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.

pipe_max_size is assigned directly via procfs sysctl:
static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = {
...
{
.procname = "pipe-max-size",
.data = &pipe_max_size,
.maxlen = sizeof(int),
.mode = 0644,
.proc_handler = &pipe_proc_fn,
.extra1 = &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.

round_pipe_size() contains a right-bit-shift expression which may
overflow, which would cause undefined results in a subsequent
roundup_pow_of_two() call.
static inline unsigned int round_pipe_size(unsigned int size)
{
unsigned long nr_pages;
nr_pages = (size + PAGE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
return roundup_pow_of_two(nr_pages) << PAGE_SHIFT;
}
PAGE_SIZE is defined as (1UL << PAGE_SHIFT), so:
- 4 bytes wide on 32-bit (0 to 0xffffffff)
- 8 bytes wide on 64-bit (0 to 0xffffffffffffffff)
That means that 32-bit round_pipe_size(), nr_pages may overflow to 0:
size=0x00000000 nr_pages=0x0
size=0x00000001 nr_pages=0x1
size=0xfffff000 nr_pages=0xfffff
size=0xfffff001 nr_pages=0x0 << !
size=0xffffffff nr_pages=0x0 << !
This is bad because roundup_pow_of_two(n) is undefined when n == 0!
64-bit is not a problem as the unsigned int size is 4 bytes wide
(similar to 32-bit) and the larger, 8 byte wide unsigned long, is
sufficient to handle the largest value of the bit shift expression:
size=0xffffffff nr_pages=100000
Modify round_pipe_size() to return 0 if n == 0 and updates its callers to
handle accordingly.

Patch series "A few round_pipe_size() and pipe-max-size fixups", v3.
While backporting Michael's "pipe: fix limit handling" patchset to a
distro-kernel, Mikulas noticed that current upstream pipe limit handling
contains a few problems:
1 - procfs signed wrap: echo'ing a large number into
/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size and then cat'ing it back out shows a
negative value.
2 - round_pipe_size() nr_pages overflow on 32bit: this would
subsequently try roundup_pow_of_two(0), which is undefined.
3 - visible non-rounded pipe-max-size value: there is no mutual
exclusion or protection between the time pipe_max_size is assigned
a raw value from proc_dointvec_minmax() and when it is rounded.
4 - unsigned long -> unsigned int conversion makes for potential odd
return errors from do_proc_douintvec_minmax_conv() and
do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv().
This version underwent the same testing as v1:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=150643571406022&w=2
This patch (of 4):
pipe_max_size is defined as an unsigned int:
unsigned int pipe_max_size = 1048576;
but its procfs/sysctl representation is an integer:
static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = {
...
{
.procname = "pipe-max-size",
.data = &pipe_max_size,
.maxlen = sizeof(int),
.mode = 0644,
.proc_handler = &pipe_proc_fn,
.extra1 = &pipe_min_size,
},
...
that is signed:
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)
This leads to signed results via procfs for large values of pipe_max_size:
% echo 2147483647 >/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
% cat /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
-2147483648
Use unsigned operations on this variable to avoid such negative values.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

This is a patch that provides behavior that is more consistent, and
probably less surprising to users. I consider the change optional, and
welcome opinions about whether it should be applied.
By default, pipes are created with a capacity of 64 kiB. However,
/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size may be set smaller than this value. In this
scenario, an unprivileged user could thus create a pipe whose initial
capacity exceeds the limit. Therefore, it seems logical to cap the
initial pipe capacity according to the value of pipe-max-size.
The test program shown earlier in this patch series can be used to
demonstrate the effect of the change brought about with this patch:
# cat /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
1048576
# sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1
Initial pipe capacity: 65536
# echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
# cat /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
16384
# sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1
Initial pipe capacity: 16384
# ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1
Initial pipe capacity: 65536
The last two executions of 'test_F_SETPIPE_SZ' show that pipe-max-size
caps the initial allocation for a new pipe for unprivileged users, but
not for privileged users.

This is an optional patch, to provide a small performance
improvement. Alter account_pipe_buffers() so that it returns the
new value in user->pipe_bufs. This means that we can refactor
too_many_pipe_buffers_soft() and too_many_pipe_buffers_hard() to

The limit checking in alloc_pipe_info() (used by pipe(2) and when
opening a FIFO) has the following problems:
(1) When checking capacity required for the new pipe, the checks against
the limit in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made
against existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for
the new pipe capacity. As a consequence: (1) the memory allocation
throttling provided by the soft limit does not kick in quite as
early as it should, and (2) the user can overrun the hard limit.
(2) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the limits
is done as follows:
(a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit.
(b) Make new pipe buffer allocation.
(c) Account new allocation against the limits.
This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously,
and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step
(c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be
pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how
unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting
this point, which I had missed.]
This patch addresses the above problems as follows:
* Alter the checks against limits to include the memory required for the
new pipe.
* Re-order the accounting step so that it precedes the buffer allocation.
If the accounting step determines that a limit has been reached, revert
the accounting and cause the operation to fail.

The limit checking in pipe_set_size() (used by fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ))
has the following problems:
(1) When increasing the pipe capacity, the checks against the limits in
/proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against existing
consumption, and exclude the memory required for the increased pipe
capacity. The new increase in pipe capacity can then push the total
memory used by the user for pipes (possibly far) over a limit. This
can also trigger the problem described next.
(2) The limit checks are performed even when the new pipe capacity is
less than the existing pipe capacity. This can lead to problems if a
user sets a large pipe capacity, and then the limits are lowered,
with the result that the user will no longer be able to decrease the
pipe capacity.
(3) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the
limits is done as follows:
(a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit.
(b) Make new pipe buffer allocation.
(c) Account new allocation against the limits.
This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a)
simultaneously, and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted
for only in step (c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer
allocation could be pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount,
depending on how unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard
Nossum for spotting this point, which I had missed.]
This patch addresses the above problems as follows:
* Perform checks against the limits only when increasing a pipe's
capacity; an unprivileged user can always decrease a pipe's capacity.
* Alter the checks against limits to include the memory required for
the new pipe capacity.
* Re-order the accounting step so that it precedes the buffer
allocation. If the accounting step determines that a limit has
been reached, revert the accounting and cause the operation to fail.
The program below can be used to demonstrate problems 1 and 2, and the
effect of the fix. The program takes one or more command-line arguments.
The first argument specifies the number of pipes that the program should
create. The remaining arguments are, alternately, pipe capacities that
should be set using fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ), and sleep intervals (in
seconds) between the fcntl() operations. (The sleep intervals allow the
possibility to change the limits between fcntl() operations.)
Problem 1
=========
Using the test program on an unpatched kernel, we first set some
limits:
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft
# echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
# echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # 40.96 MB
Then show that we can set a pipe with capacity (100MB) that is
over the hard limit
# sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 100000000
Initial pipe capacity: 65536
Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes
F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 134217728
Now set the capacity to 100MB twice. The second call fails (which is
probably surprising to most users, since it seems like a no-op):
# sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 100000000 0 100000000
Initial pipe capacity: 65536
Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes
F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 134217728
Loop 2: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes
Loop 2, pipe 0: F_SETPIPE_SZ failed: fcntl: Operation not permitted
With a patched kernel, setting a capacity over the limit fails at the
first attempt:
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft
# echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
# echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard
# sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 100000000
Initial pipe capacity: 65536
Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 100000000 bytes
Loop 1, pipe 0: F_SETPIPE_SZ failed: fcntl: Operation not permitted
There is a small chance that the change to fix this problem could
break user-space, since there are cases where fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ)
calls that previously succeeded might fail. However, the chances are
small, since (a) the pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} limits are new (in
4.5), and the default soft/hard limits are high/unlimited. Therefore,
it seems warranted to make these limits operate more precisely (and
behave more like what users probably expect).
Problem 2
=========
Running the test program on an unpatched kernel, we first set some limits:
# getconf PAGESIZE
4096
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft
# echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
# echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # 40.96 MB
Now perform two fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ) operations on a single pipe,
first setting a pipe capacity (10MB), sleeping for a few seconds,
during which time the hard limit is lowered, and then set pipe
capacity to a smaller amount (5MB):
# sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 10000000 15 5000000 &
[1] 748
# Initial pipe capacity: 65536
Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 10000000 bytes
F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 16777216
Sleeping 15 seconds
# echo 1000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard # 4.096 MB
# Loop 2: set pipe capacity to 5000000 bytes
Loop 2, pipe 0: F_SETPIPE_SZ failed: fcntl: Operation not permitted
In this case, the user should be able to lower the limit.
With a kernel that has the patch below, the second fcntl()
succeeds:
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-soft
# echo 1000000000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
# echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard
# sudo -u mtk ./test_F_SETPIPE_SZ 1 10000000 15 5000000 &
[1] 3215
# Initial pipe capacity: 65536
# Loop 1: set pipe capacity to 10000000 bytes
F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 16777216
Sleeping 15 seconds
# echo 1000 > /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-hard
# Loop 2: set pipe capacity to 5000000 bytes
F_SETPIPE_SZ returned 8388608

Patch history:
v2
* Switch order of test in 'if' statement to avoid function call
(to capability()) in normal path. [This is a fix to a preexisting
wart in the code. Thanks to Willy Tarreau]
* Perform (size > pipe_max_size) check before calling
account_pipe_buffers(). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum]
Quoting Vegard:
The potential problem happens if the user passes a very large number
which will overflow pipe->user->pipe_bufs.
On 32-bit, sizeof(int) == sizeof(long), so if they pass arg = INT_MAX
then round_pipe_size() returns INT_MAX. Although it's true that the
accounting is done in terms of pages and not bytes, so you'd need on
the order of (1 << 13) = 8192 processes hitting the limit at the same
time in order to make it overflow, which seems a bit unlikely.
(See https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/12/215 for another discussion on the
limit checking)

This is a preparatory patch for following work. account_pipe_buffers()
performs accounting in the 'user_struct'. There is no need to pass a
pointer to a 'pipe_inode_info' struct (which is then dereferenced to
obtain a pointer to the 'user' field). Instead, pass a pointer directly
to the 'user_struct'. This change is needed in preparation for a
subsequent patch that the fixes the limit checking in alloc_pipe_info()
(and the resulting code is a little more logical).

Patch series "pipe: fix limit handling", v2.
When changing a pipe's capacity with fcntl(F_SETPIPE_SZ), various limits
defined by /proc/sys/fs/pipe-* files are checked to see if unprivileged
users are exceeding limits on memory consumption.
While documenting and testing the operation of these limits I noticed
that, as currently implemented, these checks have a number of problems:
(1) When increasing the pipe capacity, the checks against the limits
in /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-{soft,hard} are made against
existing consumption, and exclude the memory required for the
increased pipe capacity. The new increase in pipe capacity can then
push the total memory used by the user for pipes (possibly far) over
a limit. This can also trigger the problem described next.
(2) The limit checks are performed even when the new pipe capacity
is less than the existing pipe capacity. This can lead to problems
if a user sets a large pipe capacity, and then the limits are
lowered, with the result that the user will no longer be able to
decrease the pipe capacity.
(3) As currently implemented, accounting and checking against the
limits is done as follows:
(a) Test whether the user has exceeded the limit.
(b) Make new pipe buffer allocation.
(c) Account new allocation against the limits.
This is racey. Multiple processes may pass point (a) simultaneously,
and then allocate pipe buffers that are accounted for only in step
(c). The race means that the user's pipe buffer allocation could be
pushed over the limit (by an arbitrary amount, depending on how
unlucky we were in the race). [Thanks to Vegard Nossum for spotting
this point, which I had missed.]
This patch series addresses these three problems.
This patch (of 8):
This is a minor preparatory patch. After subsequent patches,
round_pipe_size() will be called from pipe_set_size(), so place
round_pipe_size() above pipe_set_size().

CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it

Use current_time() instead.
CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.
This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.
Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
share the same time granularity.

To distinguish non-slab pages charged to kmemcg we mark them PageKmemcg,
which sets page->_mapcount to -512. Currently, we set/clear PageKmemcg
in __alloc_pages_nodemask()/free_pages_prepare() for any page allocated
with __GFP_ACCOUNT, including those that aren't actually charged to any
cgroup, i.e. allocated from the root cgroup context. To avoid overhead
in case cgroups are not used, we only do that if memcg_kmem_enabled() is
true. The latter is set iff there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups
(online or offline). The root cgroup is not considered kmem-enabled.
As a result, if a page is allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT for the root
cgroup when there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups and is freed after all
kmem-enabled memory cgroups were removed, e.g.
# no memory cgroups has been created yet, create one
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
# run something allocating pages with __GFP_ACCOUNT, e.g.
# a program using pipe
dmesg | tail
# remove the memory cgroup
rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
we'll get bad page state bug complaining about page->_mapcount != -1:
BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/0 pfn:1fd945c

To avoid that, let's mark with PageKmemcg only those pages that are
actually charged to and hence pin a non-root memory cgroup.

Pipes can consume a significant amount of system memory, hence they
should be accounted to kmemcg.
This patch marks pipe_inode_info and anonymous pipe buffer page
allocations as __GFP_ACCOUNT so that they would be charged to kmemcg.
Note, since a pipe buffer page can be "stolen" and get reused for other
purposes, including mapping to userspace, we clear PageKmemcg thus
resetting page->_mapcount and uncharge it in anon_pipe_buf_steal, which
is introduced by this patch.
A note regarding anon_pipe_buf_steal implementation. We allow to steal
the page if its ref count equals 1. It looks racy, but it is correct
for anonymous pipe buffer pages, because:
- We lock out all other pipe users, because ->steal is called with
pipe_lock held, so the page can't be spliced to another pipe from
under us.
- The page is not on LRU and it never was.
- Thus a parallel thread can access it only by PFN. Although this is
quite possible (e.g. see page_idle_get_page and balloon_page_isolate)
this is not dangerous, because all such functions do is increase page
ref count, check if the page is the one they are looking for, and
decrease ref count if it isn't. Since our page is clean except for
PageKmemcg mark, which doesn't conflict with other _mapcount users,
the worst that can happen is we see page_count > 2 due to a transient
ref, in which case we false-positively abort ->steal, which is still
fine, because ->steal is not guaranteed to succeed.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

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).

pipe_write() would return 0 if it failed to merge the beginning of the
data to write with the last, partially filled pipe buffer. It should
return an error code instead. Userspace programs could be confused by
write() returning 0 when called with a nonzero 'count'.
The EFAULT error case was a regression from f0d1bec9d5 ("new helper:
copy_page_from_iter()"), while the ops->confirm() error case was a much
older bug.
Test program:
#include <assert.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
int fd[2];
char data[1] = {0};
assert(0 == pipe(fd));
assert(1 == write(fd[1], data, 1));
/* prior to this patch, write() returned 0 here */
assert(-1 == write(fd[1], NULL, 1));
assert(errno == EFAULT);
}

If sys_pipe() was unable to allocate a 'struct file', it always failed
with ENFILE, which means "The number of simultaneously open files in the
system would exceed a system-imposed limit." However, alloc_file()
actually returns an ERR_PTR value and might fail with other error codes.
Currently, in addition to ENFILE, it can fail with ENOMEM, potentially
when there are few open files in the system. Update sys_pipe() to
preserve this error code.
In a prior submission of a similar patch (1) some concern was raised
about introducing a new error code for sys_pipe(). However, for most
system calls, programs cannot assume that new error codes will never be
introduced. In addition, ENOMEM was, in fact, already a possible error
code for sys_pipe(), in the case where the file descriptor table could
not be expanded due to insufficient memory.

All places outside of core VFS that checked ->read and ->write for being NULL or
called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL
{read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases.

struct kiocb now is a generic I/O container, so move it to fs.h.
Also do a #include diet for aio.h while we're at it.

For now, just use the same thing we pass to ->direct_IO() - it's all
iovec-based at the moment. Pass it explicitly to iov_iter_init() and
account for kvec vs. iovec in there, by the same kludge NFS ->direct_IO()
uses.

Pipe has no data associated with fs so it is not good idea to block
pipe_write() if FS is frozen, but we can not update file's time on such
filesystem. Let's use same idea as we use in touch_time().

The pipe code was trying (and failing) to be very careful about freeing
the pipe info only after the last access, with a pattern like:
spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
if (!--pipe->files) {
inode->i_pipe = NULL;
kill = 1;
}
spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
__pipe_unlock(pipe);
if (kill)
free_pipe_info(pipe);
where the final freeing is done last.
HOWEVER. The above is actually broken, because while the freeing is
done at the end, if we have two racing processes releasing the pipe
inode info, the one that *doesn't* free it will decrement the ->files
count, and unlock the inode i_lock, but then still use the
"pipe_inode_info" afterwards when it does the "__pipe_unlock(pipe)".
This is *very* hard to trigger in practice, since the race window is
very small, and adding debug options seems to just hide it by slowing
things down.
Simon originally reported this way back in July as an Oops in
kmem_cache_allocate due to a single bit corruption (due to the final
"spin_unlock(pipe->mutex.wait_lock)" incrementing a field in a different
allocation that had re-used the free'd pipe-info), it's taken this long
to figure out.
Since the 'pipe->files' accesses aren't even protected by the pipe lock
(we very much use the inode lock for that), the simple solution is to
just drop the pipe lock early. And since there were two users of this
pattern, create a helper function for it.
Introduced commit ba5bb14733 ("pipe: take allocation and freeing of
pipe_inode_info out of ->i_mutex").

it's used only as a flag to distinguish normal pipes/FIFOs from the
internal per-task one used by file-to-file splice. And pipe->files
would work just as well for that purpose...
