Linux 4.9 added two ioctl() operations that can be used to discover: * the parental relationships for hierarchical namespaces (user and PID) [NS_GET_PARENT] * the user namespaces that owns a specified non-user-namespace [NS_GET_USERNS] For no good reason that I can glean, NS_GET_USERNS was made synonymous with NS_GET_PARENT for user namespaces. It might have been better if NS_GET_USERNS had returned an error if the supplied file descriptor referred to a user namespace, since it suggests that the caller may be confused. More particularly, if it had generated an error, then I wouldn't need the new ioctl() operation proposed here. (On the other hand, what I propose here may be more generally useful.) I would like to write code that discovers namespace relationships for the purpose of understanding the namespace setup on a running system. In particular, given a file descriptor (or pathname) for a namespace, N, I'd like to obtain the corresponding user namespace. Namespace N might be a user namespace (in which case my code would just use N) or a non-user namespace (in which case my code will use NS_GET_USERNS to get the user namespace associated with N). The problem is that there is no way to tell the difference by looking at the file descriptor (and if I try to use NS_GET_USERNS on an N that is a user namespace, I get the parent user namespace of N, which is not what I want). This patch therefore adds a new ioctl(), NS_GET_NSTYPE, which, given a file descriptor that refers to a user namespace, returns the namespace type (one of the CLONE_NEW* constants).

Instead of making the files owned by the GLOBAL_ROOT_USER. Make non-dumpable files whose mm has always lived in a user namespace owned by the user namespace root. This allows the container root to have things work as expected in a container. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

Now that we have user namespaces and non-global capabilities verify the tracer has capabilities in the relevant user namespace instead of in the current_user_ns(). As the test for setting LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE_CAP is currently ptracer_capable(p, current_user_ns()) and the new task credentials are in current_user_ns() this change does not have any user visible change and simply moves the test to where it is used, making the code easier to read.

Don't reset euid and egid when the tracee has CAP_SETUID in it's user namespace. I punted on relaxing this permission check long ago but now that I have read this code closely it is clear it is safe to test against CAP_SETUID in the user namespace. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

This patchset converts inotify to using the newly introduced per-userns sysctl infrastructure. Currently the inotify instances/watches are being accounted in the user_struct structure. This means that in setups where multiple users in unprivileged containers map to the same underlying real user (i.e. pointing to the same user_struct) the inotify limits are going to be shared as well, allowing one user(or application) to exhaust all others limits. Fix this by switching the inotify sysctls to using the per-namespace/per-user limits. This will allow the server admin to set sensible global limits, which can further be tuned inside every individual user namespace. Additionally, in order to preserve the sysctl ABI make the existing inotify instances/watches sysctls modify the values of the initial user namespace.

The ucounts_lock is being used to protect various ucounts lifecycle management functionalities. However, those services can also be invoked when a pidns is being freed in an RCU callback (e.g. softirq context). This can lead to deadlocks. There were already efforts trying to prevent similar deadlocks in add7c65c ("pid: fix lockdep deadlock warning due to ucount_lock"), however they just moved the context from hardirq to softrq. Fix this issue once and for all by explictly making the lock disable irqs altogether.

Add MS_KERNMOUNT to the flags that are passed. Use sget_userns and force &init_user_ns instead of calling sget so that even if called from a weird context the internal filesystem will be considered to be in the intial user namespace. Luis Ressel reported that the the failure to pass MS_KERNMOUNT into mount_pseudo broke his in development graphics driver that uses the generic drm infrastructure. I am not certain the deriver was bug free in it's usage of that infrastructure but since mount_pseudo_xattr can never be triggered by userspace it is clearer and less error prone, and less problematic for the code to be explicit.

Protecting the mountpoint hashtable with namespace_sem was sufficient until a call to umount_mnt was added to mntput_no_expire. At which point it became possible for multiple calls of put_mountpoint on the same hash chain to happen on the same time. Kristen Johansen <kjlx@templeofstupid.com> reported: > This can cause a panic when simultaneous callers of put_mountpoint > attempt to free the same mountpoint. This occurs because some callers > hold the mount_hash_lock, while others hold the namespace lock. Some > even hold both. > > In this submitter's case, the panic manifested itself as a GP fault in > put_mountpoint() when it called hlist_del() and attempted to dereference > a m_hash.pprev that had been poisioned by another thread. Al Viro observed that the simple fix is to switch from using the namespace_sem to the mount_lock to protect the mountpoint hash table. I have taken Al's suggested patch moved put_mountpoint in pivot_root (instead of taking mount_lock an additional time), and have replaced new_mountpoint with get_mountpoint a function that does the hash table lookup and addition under the mount_lock. The introduction of get_mounptoint ensures that only the mount_lock is needed to manipulate the mountpoint hashtable. d_set_mounted is modified to only set DCACHE_MOUNTED if it is not already set. This allows get_mountpoint to use the setting of DCACHE_MOUNTED to ensure adding a struct mountpoint for a dentry happens exactly once.

Pull DAX updates from Dan Williams: "The completion of Jan's DAX work for 4.10. As I mentioned in the libnvdimm-for-4.10 pull request, these are some final fixes for the DAX dirty-cacheline-tracking invalidation work that was merged through the -mm, ext4, and xfs trees in -rc1. These patches were prepared prior to the merge window, but we waited for 4.10-rc1 to have a stable merge base after all the prerequisites were merged. Quoting Jan on the overall changes in these patches: "So I'd like all these 6 patches to go for rc2. The first three patches fix invalidation of exceptional DAX entries (a bug which is there for a long time) - without these patches data loss can occur on power failure even though user called fsync(2). The other three patches change locking of DAX faults so that ->iomap_begin() is called in a more relaxed locking context and we are safe to start a transaction there for ext4" These have received a build success notification from the kbuild robot, and pass the latest libnvdimm unit tests. There have not been any -next releases since -rc1, so they have not appeared there" * 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: ext4: Simplify DAX fault path dax: Call ->iomap_begin without entry lock during dax fault dax: Finish fault completely when loading holes dax: Avoid page invalidation races and unnecessary radix tree traversals mm: Invalidate DAX radix tree entries only if appropriate ext2: Return BH_New buffers for zeroed blocks

In commit 62906027 ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit") Nick Piggin made our page locking no longer unconditionally touch the hashed page waitqueue, which not only helps performance in general, but is particularly helpful on NUMA machines where the hashed wait queues can bounce around a lot. However, the "clear lock bit atomically and then test the waiters bit" sequence turns out to be much more expensive than it needs to be, because you get a nasty stall when trying to access the same word that just got updated atomically. On architectures where locking is done with LL/SC, this would be trivial to fix with a new primitive that clears one bit and tests another atomically, but that ends up not working on x86, where the only atomic operations that return the result end up being cmpxchg and xadd. The atomic bit operations return the old value of the same bit we changed, not the value of an unrelated bit. On x86, we could put the lock bit in the high bit of the byte, and use "xadd" with that bit (where the overflow ends up not touching other bits), and look at the other bits of the result. However, an even simpler model is to just use a regular atomic "and" to clear the lock bit, and then the sign bit in eflags will indicate the resulting state of the unrelated bit #7. So by moving the PageWaiters bit up to bit #7, we can atomically clear the lock bit and test the waiters bit on x86 too. And architectures with LL/SC (which is all the usual RISC suspects), the particular bit doesn't matter, so they are fine with this approach too. This avoids the extra access to the same atomic word, and thus avoids the costly stall at page unlock time. The only downside is that the interface ends up being a bit odd and specialized: clear a bit in a byte, and test the sign bit. Nick doesn't love the resulting name of the new primitive, but I'd rather make the name be descriptive and very clear about the limitation imposed by trying to work across all relevant architectures than make it be some generic thing that doesn't make the odd semantics explicit. So this introduces the new architecture primitive clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte(); and adds the trivial implementation for x86. We have a generic non-optimized fallback (that just does a "clear_bit()"+"test_bit(7)" combination) which can be overridden by any architecture that can do better. According to Nick, Power has the same hickup x86 has, for example, but some other architectures may not even care. All these optimizations mean that my page locking stress-test (which is just executing a lot of small short-lived shell scripts: "make test" in the git source tree) no longer makes our page locking look horribly bad. Before all these optimizations, just the unlock_page() costs were just over 3% of all CPU overhead on "make test". After this, it's down to 0.66%, so just a quarter of the cost it used to be. (The difference on NUMA is bigger, but there this micro-optimization is likely less noticeable, since the big issue on NUMA was not the accesses to 'struct page', but the waitqueue accesses that were already removed by Nick's earlier commit).

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Various ipvlan fixes from Eric Dumazet and Mahesh Bandewar. The most important is to not assume the packet is RX just because the destination address matches that of the device. Such an assumption causes problems when an interface is put into loopback mode. 2) If we retry when creating a new tc entry (because we dropped the RTNL mutex in order to load a module, for example) we end up with -EAGAIN and then loop trying to replay the request. But we didn't reset some state when looping back to the top like this, and if another thread meanwhile inserted the same tc entry we were trying to, we re-link it creating an enless loop in the tc chain. Fix from Daniel Borkmann. 3) There are two different WRITE bits in the MDIO address register for the stmmac chip, depending upon the chip variant. Due to a bug we could set them both, fix from Hock Leong Kweh. 4) Fix mlx4 bug in XDP_TX handling, from Tariq Toukan. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: net: stmmac: fix incorrect bit set in gmac4 mdio addr register r8169: add support for RTL8168 series add-on card. net: xdp: remove unused bfp_warn_invalid_xdp_buffer() openvswitch: upcall: Fix vlan handling. ipv4: Namespaceify tcp_tw_reuse knob net: korina: Fix NAPI versus resources freeing net, sched: fix soft lockup in tc_classify net/mlx4_en: Fix user prio field in XDP forward tipc: don't send FIN message from connectionless socket ipvlan: fix multicast processing ipvlan: fix various issues in ipvlan_process_multicast()

Networking stack accelerate vlan tag handling by keeping topmost vlan header in skb. This works as long as packet remains in OVS datapath. But during OVS upcall vlan header is pushed on to the packet. When such packet is sent back to OVS datapath, core networking stack might not handle it correctly. Following patch avoids this issue by accelerating the vlan tag during flow key extract. This simplifies datapath by bringing uniform packet processing for packets from all code paths.

Currently ->iomap_begin() handler is called with entry lock held. If the filesystem held any locks between ->iomap_begin() and ->iomap_end() (such as ext4 which will want to hold transaction open), this would cause lock inversion with the iomap_apply() from standard IO path which first calls ->iomap_begin() and only then calls ->actor() callback which grabs entry locks for DAX (if it faults when copying from/to user provided buffers). Fix the problem by nesting grabbing of entry lock inside ->iomap_begin() - ->iomap_end() pair.

Currently dax_iomap_rw() takes care of invalidating page tables and evicting hole pages from the radix tree when write(2) to the file happens. This invalidation is only necessary when there is some block allocation resulting from write(2). Furthermore in current place the invalidation is racy wrt page fault instantiating a hole page just after we have invalidated it. So perform the page invalidation inside dax_iomap_actor() where we can do it only when really necessary and after blocks have been allocated so nobody will be instantiating new hole pages anymore.

Currently invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages() just delete all exceptional radix tree entries they find. For DAX this is not desirable as we track cache dirtiness in these entries and when they are evicted, we may not flush caches although it is necessary. This can for example manifest when we write to the same block both via mmap and via write(2) (to different offsets) and fsync(2) then does not properly flush CPU caches when modification via write(2) was the last one. Create appropriate DAX functions to handle invalidation of DAX entries for invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and invalidate_mapping_pages() and wire them up into the corresponding mm functions.

Shahar reported a soft lockup in tc_classify(), where we run into an endless loop when walking the classifier chain due to tp->next == tp which is a state we should never run into. The issue only seems to trigger under load in the tc control path. What happens is that in tc_ctl_tfilter(), thread A allocates a new tp, initializes it, sets tp_created to 1, and calls into tp->ops->change() with it. In that classifier callback we had to unlock/lock the rtnl mutex and returned with -EAGAIN. One reason why we need to drop there is, for example, that we need to request an action module to be loaded. This happens via tcf_exts_validate() -> tcf_action_init/_1() meaning after we loaded and found the requested action, we need to redo the whole request so we don't race against others. While we had to unlock rtnl in that time, thread B's request was processed next on that CPU. Thread B added a new tp instance successfully to the classifier chain. When thread A returned grabbing the rtnl mutex again, propagating -EAGAIN and destroying its tp instance which never got linked, we goto replay and redo A's request. This time when walking the classifier chain in tc_ctl_tfilter() for checking for existing tp instances we had a priority match and found the tp instance that was created and linked by thread B. Now calling again into tp->ops->change() with that tp was successful and returned without error. tp_created was never cleared in the second round, thus kernel thinks that we need to link it into the classifier chain (once again). tp and *back point to the same object due to the match we had earlier on. Thus for thread B's already public tp, we reset tp->next to tp itself and link it into the chain, which eventually causes the mentioned endless loop in tc_classify() once a packet hits the data path. Fix is to clear tp_created at the beginning of each request, also when we replay it. On the paths that can cause -EAGAIN we already destroy the original tp instance we had and on replay we really need to start from scratch. It seems that this issue was first introduced in commit 12186be7 ("net_cls: fix unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining and avoid kernel panic when we use cls_cgroup").
