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
avoid the costs of repeated use of atomic_long_read() to get the
value user->pipe_bufs.

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().

Having this in autofs_i.h gives illusion that uncommenting this enables
pr_debug(), but it doesn't enable all the pr_debug() in autofs because
inclusion order matters.
XFS has the same DEBUG macro in its core header fs/xfs/xfs.h, however XFS
seems to have a rule to include this prior to other XFS headers as well as
kernel headers. This is not the case with autofs, and DEBUG could be
enabled via Makefile, so autofs should just get rid of this comment to
make the code less confusing. It's a comment, so there is literally no
functional difference.

No functional changes, based on the following justification.
1. Make the code more consistent using the ioctl vector _ioctls[],
rather than assigning NULL only for this ioctl command.
2. Remove goto done; for better maintainability in the long run.
3. The existing code is based on the fact that validate_dev_ioctl()
sets ioctl version for any command, but AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_VERSION_CMD
should explicitly set it regardless of the default behavior.

Today there are platforms with many CPUs (up to 4K). Trying to boot only
part of the CPUs may result in too long string.
For example lets take NPS platform that is part of arch/arc. This
platform have SMP system with 256 cores each with 16 HW threads (SMT
machine) where HW thread appears as CPU to the kernel. In this example
there is total of 4K CPUs. When one tries to boot only part of the HW
threads from each core the string representing the map may be long... For
example if for sake of performance we decided to boot only first half of
HW threads of each core the map will look like:
0-7,16-23,32-39,...,4080-4087
This patch introduce new syntax to accommodate with such use case. I
added an optional postfix to a range of CPUs which will choose according
to given modulo the desired range of reminders i.e.:
<cpus range>:sed_size/group_size
For example, above map can be described in new syntax like this:
0-4095:8/16
Note that this patch is backward compatible with current syntax.

The strncpy_from_user() accessor is effectively a copy_from_user()
specialised to copy strings, terminating early at a NUL byte if possible.
In other respects it is identical, and can be used to copy an arbitrarily
large buffer from userspace into the kernel. Conceptually, it exposes a
similar attack surface.
As with copy_from_user(), we check the destination range when the kernel
is built with KASAN, but unlike copy_from_user() we do not check the
destination buffer when using HARDENED_USERCOPY. As strncpy_from_user()
calls get_user() in a loop, we must call check_object_size() explicitly.
This patch adds this instrumentation to strncpy_from_user(), per the same
rationale as with the regular copy_from_user(). In the absence of
hardened usercopy this will have no impact as the instrumentation expands
to an empty static inline function.

There are four cases I can see where we could end up with a NULL 'slot' in
radix_tree_next_slot(). This unit test exercises all four of them, making
sure that if in the future we have an unsafe path through
radix_tree_next_slot(), we'll catch it.
Here are details on the four cases:
1) radix_tree_iter_retry() via a non-tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_slot(). In this case we currently aren't seeing a bug
because radix_tree_iter_retry() sets
iter->next_index = iter->index;
which means that in in the else case in radix_tree_next_slot(), 'count' is
zero, so we skip over the while() loop and effectively just return NULL
without ever dereferencing 'slot'.
2) radix_tree_iter_retry() via tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_tagged(). This case was giving us NULL pointer
dereferences in testing, and was fixed with this commit:
commit 3cb9185c67 ("radix-tree: fix radix_tree_iter_retry() for tagged
iterators.")
This fix doesn't explicitly check for 'slot' being NULL, though, it works
around the NULL pointer dereference by instead zeroing iter->tags in
radix_tree_iter_retry(), which makes us bail out of the if() case in
radix_tree_next_slot() before we dereference 'slot'.
3) radix_tree_iter_next() via via a non-tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_slot(). This currently happens in shmem_tag_pins()
and shmem_partial_swap_usage().
As with non-tagged iteration, 'count' in the else case of
radix_tree_next_slot() is zero, so we skip over the while() loop and
effectively just return NULL without ever dereferencing 'slot'.
4) radix_tree_iter_next() via tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_tagged(). This happens in shmem_wait_for_pins().
radix_tree_iter_next() zeros out iter->tags, so we end up exiting
radix_tree_next_slot() here:
if (flags & RADIX_TREE_ITER_TAGGED) {
void *canon = slot;
iter->tags >>= 1;
if (unlikely(!iter->tags))
return NULL;

There are four cases I can see where we could end up with a NULL 'slot' in
radix_tree_next_slot(). Yet radix_tree_next_slot() never actually checks
whether 'slot' is NULL. It just happens that for the cases where 'slot'
is NULL, some other combination of factors prevents us from dereferencing
it.
It would be very easy for someone to unwittingly change one of these
factors without realizing that we are implicitly depending on it to save
us from a NULL pointer dereference.
Add a comment documenting the things that allow 'slot' to be safely passed
as NULL to radix_tree_next_slot().

The select(2) syscall performs a kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL) where size grows
with the number of fds passed. We had a customer report page allocation
failures of order-4 for this allocation. This is a costly order, so it might
easily fail, as the VM expects such allocation to have a lower-order fallback.
Such trivial fallback is vmalloc(), as the memory doesn't have to be physically
contiguous and the allocation is temporary for the duration of the syscall
only. There were some concerns, whether this would have negative impact on the
system by exposing vmalloc() to userspace. Although an excessive use of vmalloc
can cause some system wide performance issues - TLB flushes etc. - a large
order allocation is not for free either and an excessive reclaim/compaction can
have a similar effect. Also note that the size is effectively limited by
RLIMIT_NOFILE which defaults to 1024 on the systems I checked. That means the
bitmaps will fit well within single page and thus the vmalloc() fallback could
be only excercised for processes where root allows a higher limit.
Note that the poll(2) syscall seems to use a linked list of order-0 pages, so
it doesn't need this kind of fallback.
