ce2d52cc13 ipc/mqueue: add rbtree node caching support
When I wrote the first patch that added the rbtree support for message
queue insertion, it sped up the case where the queue was very full
drastically from the original code.  It, however, slowed down the case
where the queue was empty (not drastically though).

This patch caches the last freed rbtree node struct so we can quickly
reuse it when we get a new message.  This is the common path for any queue
that very frequently goes from 0 to 1 then back to 0 messages in queue.

Andrew Morton didn't like that we were doing a GFP_ATOMIC allocation in
msg_insert, so this patch attempts to speculatively allocate a new node
struct outside of the spin lock when we know we need it, but will still
fall back to a GFP_ATOMIC allocation if it has to.

Once I added the caching, the necessary various ret = ; spin_unlock
gyrations in mq_timedsend were getting pretty ugly, so this also slightly
refactors that function to streamline the flow of the code and the
function exit.

Finally, while working on getting performance back I made sure that all of
the node structs were always fully initialized when they were first used,
rendering the use of kzalloc unnecessary and a waste of CPU cycles.

The net result of all of this is:

1) We will avoid a GFP_ATOMIC allocation when possible, but fall back
   on it when necessary.

2) We will speculatively allocate a node struct using GFP_KERNEL if our
   cache is empty (and save the struct to our cache if it's still empty
   after we have obtained the spin lock).

3) The performance of the common queue empty case has significantly
   improved and is now much more in line with the older performance for
   this case.

The performance changes are:

            Old mqueue      new mqueue      new mqueue + caching
queue empty
send/recv   305/288ns       349/318ns       310/322ns

I don't think we'll ever be able to get the recv performance back, but
that's because the old recv performance was a direct result and
consequence of the old methods abysmal send performance.  The recv path
simply must do more so that the send path does not incur such a penalty
under higher queue depths.

As it turns out, the new caching code also sped up the various queue full
cases relative to my last patch.  That could be because of the difference
between the syscall path in 3.3.4-rc5 and 3.3.4-rc6, or because of the
change in code flow in the mq_timedsend routine.  Regardless, I'll take
it.  It wasn't huge, and I *would* say it was within the margin for error,
but after many repeated runs what I'm seeing is that the old numbers trend
slightly higher (about 10 to 20ns depending on which test is the one
running).

113289cc08 ipc/mqueue: strengthen checks on mqueue creation
We already check the mq attr struct if it's passed in, but now that the
admin can set system wide defaults separate from maximums, it's actually
possible to set the defaults to something that would overflow.  So, if
there is no attr struct passed in to the open call, check the default
values.

While we are at it, simplify mq_attr_ok() by making it return 0 or an
error condition, so that way if we add more tests to it later, we have the
option of what error should be returned instead of the calling location
having to pick a possibly inaccurate error code.

2c12ea498f ipc/mqueue: correct mq_attr_ok test
While working on the other parts of the mqueue stuff, I noticed that the
calculation for overflow in mq_attr_ok didn't actually match reality (this
is especially true since my last patch which changed how we account memory
slightly).

In particular, we used to test for overflow using:
  msgs * msgsize + msgs * sizeof(struct msg_msg *)

That was never really correct because each message we allocate via
load_msg() is actually a struct msg_msg followed by the data for the
message (and if struct msg_msg + data exceeds PAGE_SIZE we end up
allocating struct msg_msgseg structs too, but accounting for them would
get really tedious, so let's ignore those...they're only a pointer in size
anyway).  This patch updates the calculation to be more accurate in
regards to maximum possible memory consumption by the mqueue.

d6629859b3 ipc/mqueue: improve performance of send/recv
The existing implementation of the POSIX message queue send and recv
functions is, well, abysmal.  Even worse than abysmal.  I submitted a
patch to increase the maximum POSIX message queue limit to 65536 due to
customer needs, however, upon looking over the send/recv implementation, I
realized that my customer needs help with that too even if they don't know
it.  The basic problem is that, given the fairly typical use case scenario
for a large queue of queueing lots of messages all at the same priority (I
verified with my customer that this is indeed what their app does), the
msg_insert routine is basically a frikkin' bubble sort.  I mean, whoa,
that's *so* middle school.

OK, OK, to not slam the original author too much, I'm sure they didn't
envision a queue depth of 50,000+ messages.  No one would think that
moving elements in an array, one at a time, and dereferencing each pointer
in that array to check priority of the message being pointed too, again
one at a time, for 50,000+ times would be good.  So let's assume that, as
is typical, the users have found a way to break our code simply by using
it in a way we didn't envision.  Fair enough.

"So, just how broken is it?", you ask.  I wondered the same thing, so I
wrote an app to let me know.  It's my next patch.  It gave me some
interesting results.  Here's what it tested:

Interference with other apps - In continuous mode, the app just sits there
and hits a message queue forever, while you go do something productive on
another terminal using other CPUs.  You then measure how long it takes you
to do that something productive.  Then you restart the app in fake
continuous mode, and it sits in a tight loop on a CPU while you repeat
your tests.  The whole point of this is to keep one CPU tied up (so it
can't be used in your other work) but in one case tied up hitting the
mqueue code so we can see the effect of walking that 65,528 element array
one pointer at a time on the global CPU cache.  If it's bad, then it will
slow down your app on the other CPUs just by polluting cache mercilessly.
In the fake case, it will be in a tight loop, but not polluting cache.
Testing the mqueue subsystem directly - Here we just run a number of tests
to see how the mqueue subsystem performs under different conditions.  A
couple conditions are known to be worst case for the old system, and some
routines, so this tests all of them.

So, on to the results already:

  random priority            8.88/.16                    .22/.17

So, I think the results speak for themselves.  It's possible this
implementation could be improved by cacheing at least one priority level
in the node tree (that would bring the queue empty performance more in
line with the old implementation), but this works and is *so* much better
than what we had, especially for the common case of a single priority in
use, that further refinements can be in follow on patches.

cef0184c11 mqueue: separate mqueue default value from maximum value
Commit b231cca438 ("message queues: increase range limits") changed
mqueue default value when attr parameter is specified NULL from hard
coded value to fs.mqueue.{msg,msgsize}_max sysctl value.

This made large side effect.  When user need to use two mqueue
applications 1) using !NULL attr parameter and it require big message
size and 2) using NULL attr parameter and only need small size message,
app (1) require to raise fs.mqueue.msgsize_max and app (2) consume large
memory size even though it doesn't need.

Doug Ledford propsed to switch back it to static hard coded value.
However it also has a compatibility problem.  Some applications might
started depend on the default value is tunable.

The solution is to separate default value from maximum value.

KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE is not a good threshold.  It is extremely high and
problematic.  Unfortunately, some silly drivers depend on this and we

5b5c4d1a14 ipc/mqueue: update maximums for the mqueue subsystem
Commit b231cca438 ("message queues: increase range limits") changed the
maximum size of a message in a message queue from INT_MAX to 8192*128.
Unfortunately, we had customers that relied on a size much larger than
8192*128 on their production systems.  After reviewing POSIX, we found
that it is silent on the maximum message size.  We did find a couple other
areas in which it was not silent.  Fix up the mqueue maximums so that the
customer's system can continue to work, and document both the POSIX and
real world requirements in ipc_namespace.h so that we don't have this
issue crop back up.

Also, commit 9cf18e1dd7 ("ipc: HARD_MSGMAX should be higher not lower
on 64bit") fiddled with HARD_MSGMAX without realizing that the number was
intentionally in place to limit the msg queue depth to one that was small
enough to kmalloc an array of pointers (hence why we divided 128k by
sizeof(long)).  If we wish to meet POSIX requirements, we have no choice
but to change our allocation to a vmalloc instead (at least for the large
queue size case).  With that, it's possible to increase our allowed
maximum to the POSIX requirements (or more if we choose).

858ee3784e ipc/mqueue: switch back to using non-max values on create
Commit b231cca438 ("message queues: increase range limits") changed
how we create a queue that does not include an attr struct passed to
open so that it creates the queue with whatever the maximum values are.
However, if the admin has set the maximums to allow flexibility in
creating a queue (aka, both a large size and large queue are allowed,
but combined they create a queue too large for the RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE of
the user), then attempts to create a queue without an attr struct will
fail.  Switch back to using acceptable defaults regardless of what the
maximums are.

Note: so far, we only know of a few applications that rely on this
behavior (specifically, set the maximums in /proc, then run the
application which calls mq_open() without passing in an attr struct, and
the application expects the newly created message queue to have the
maximum sizes that were set in /proc used on the mq_open() call, and all
of those applications that we know of are actually part of regression
test suites that were coded to do something like this:

for size in 4096 65536 $((1024 * 1024)) $((16 * 1024 * 1024)); do
	echo $size > /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max
	mq_open || echo "Error opening mq with size $size"
done

These test suites that depend on any behavior like this are broken.  The
concept that programs should rely upon the system wide maximum in order
to get their desired results instead of simply using a attr struct to
specify what they want is fundamentally unfriendly programming practice
for any multi-tasking OS.

Fixing this will break those few apps that we know of (and those app
authors recognize the brokenness of their code and the need to fix it).
However, the following patch "mqueue: separate mqueue default value"
allows a workaround in the form of new knobs for the default msg queue
creation parameters for any software out there that we don't already
know about that might rely on this behavior at the moment.

6b550f9495 user namespace: make signal.c respect user namespaces
ipc/mqueue.c: for __SI_MESQ, convert the uid being sent to recipient's
user namespace. (new, thanks Oleg)

__send_signal: convert current's uid to the recipient's user namespace
for any siginfo which is not SI_FROMKERNEL (patch from Oleg, thanks
again :)

do_notify_parent and do_notify_parent_cldstop: map task's uid to parent's
user namespace

ptrace_signal maps parent's uid into current's user namespace before
including in signal to current.  IIUC Oleg has argued that this shouldn't
matter as the debugger will play with it, but it seems like not converting
the value currently being set is misleading.

Changelog:
Sep 20: Inspired by Oleg's suggestion, define map_cred_ns() helper to
	simplify callers and help make clear what we are translating
        (which uid into which namespace).  Passing the target task would
	make callers even easier to read, but we pass in user_ns because
	current_user_ns() != task_cred_xxx(current, user_ns).
Sep 20: As recommended by Oleg, also put task_pid_vnr() under rcu_read_lock
	in ptrace_signal().
Sep 23: In send_signal(), detect when (user) signal is coming from an
	ancestor or unrelated user namespace.  Pass that on to __send_signal,
	which sets si_uid to 0 or overflowuid if needed.
Oct 12: Base on Oleg's fixup_uid() patch.  On top of that, handle all
	SI_FROMKERNEL cases at callers, because we can't assume sender is
	current in those cases.

Subject: __send_signal: pass q->info, not info, to userns_fixup_signal_uid (v2)

Eric Biederman pointed out that passing info is a bug and could lead to a
NULL pointer deref to boot.

A collection of signal, securebits, filecaps, cap_bounds, and a few other
ltp tests passed with this kernel.

6b520e0565 vfs: fix the stupidity with i_dentry in inode destructors
Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
and sockets and negative for everything else.  Not to mention the removal of
boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...

d40dcdb017 ipc/mqueue.c: fix mq_open() return value
We return ENOMEM from mqueue_get_inode even when we have enough memory.
Namely in case the system rlimit of mqueue was reached.  This error
propagates to mq_queue and user sees the error unexpectedly.  So fix
this up to properly return EMFILE as described in the manpage:

	EMFILE The process already has the maximum number of files and
	       message queues open.

instead of:

	ENOMEM Insufficient memory.

With the previous patch we just switch to ERR_PTR/PTR_ERR/IS_ERR error
handling here.

fa0d7e3de6 fs: icache RCU free inodes
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:

- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
  permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
  to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
  the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
  page lock to follow page->mapping.

The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

85fe4025c6 fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode
Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves.  For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

6038f373a3 llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

In case of aborting because we reach the maximum amount of memory which

try to free the message area twice when bailing out: first by the error
handling code itself, and then later when cleaning up the inode through
delete_inode().

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

46690f3718 integrity: ima mq_open imbalance msg fix
This patch fixes an imbalance message as reported by Sanchin Sant.
As we don't need to measure the message queue, just increment the
counters.

bdc8e5f85f namespaces: mqueue namespace: adapt sysctl
Largely inspired from ipc/ipc_sysctl.c.  This patch isolates the mqueue
sysctl stuff in its own file.

7eafd7c74c namespaces: ipc namespaces: implement support for posix msqueues
Implement multiple mounts of the mqueue file system, and link it to usage
of CLONE_NEWIPC.

Each ipc ns has a corresponding mqueuefs superblock.  When a user does
clone(CLONE_NEWIPC) or unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), the unshare will cause an
internal mount of a new mqueuefs sb linked to the new ipc ns.

When a user does 'mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue', he mounts the
mqueuefs superblock.

Posix message queues can be worked with both through the mq_* system calls
(see mq_overview(7)), and through the VFS through the mqueue mount.  Any
usage of mq_open() and friends will work with the acting task's ipc
namespace.  Any actions through the VFS will work with the mqueuefs in
which the file was created.  So if a user doesn't remount mqueuefs after
unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), mq_open("/ab") will not be reflected in "ls
/dev/mqueue".

If task a mounts mqueue for ipc_ns:1, then clones task b with a new ipcns,
ipcns:2, and then task a is the last task in ipc_ns:1 to exit, then (1)
ipc_ns:1 will be freed, (2) it's superblock will live on until task b
umounts the corresponding mqueuefs, and vfs actions will continue to
succeed, but (3) sb->s_fs_info will be NULL for the sb corresponding to
the deceased ipc_ns:1.

To make this happen, we must protect the ipc reference count when

a) a task exits and drops its ipcns->count, since it might be dropping
   it to 0 and freeing the ipcns

b) a task accesses the ipcns through its mqueuefs interface, since it
   bumps the ipcns refcount and might race with the last task in the ipcns
   exiting.

So the kref is changed to an atomic_t so we can use
atomic_dec_and_lock(&ns->count,mq_lock), and every access to the ipcns
through ns = mqueuefs_sb->s_fs_info is protected by the same lock.

614b84cf4e namespaces: mqueue ns: move mqueue_mnt into struct ipc_namespace
Move mqueue vfsmount plus a few tunables into the ipc_namespace struct.
The CONFIG_IPC_NS boolean and the ipc_namespace struct will serve both the
posix message queue namespaces and the SYSV ipc namespaces.

The sysctl code will be fixed separately in patch 3.  After just this
patch, making a change to posix mqueue tunables always changes the values
in the initial ipc namespace.
