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.

kobject: support passing in variables for synthetic uevents This patch makes it possible to pass additional arguments in addition to uevent action name when writing /sys/.../uevent attribute. These additional arguments are then inserted into generated synthetic uevent as additional environment variables. Before, we were not able to pass any additional uevent environment variables for synthetic uevents. This made it hard to identify such uevents properly in userspace to make proper distinction between genuine uevents originating from kernel and synthetic uevents triggered from userspace. Also, it was not possible to pass any additional information which would make it possible to optimize and change the way the synthetic uevents are processed back in userspace based on the originating environment of the triggering action in userspace. With the extra additional variables, we are able to pass through this extra information needed and also it makes it possible to synchronize with such synthetic uevents as they can be clearly identified back in userspace. The format for writing the uevent attribute is following: ACTION [UUID [KEY=VALUE ...] There's no change in how "ACTION" is recognized - it stays the same ("add", "change", "remove"). The "ACTION" is the only argument required to generate synthetic uevent, the rest of arguments, that this patch adds support for, are optional. The "UUID" is considered as transaction identifier so it's possible to use the same UUID value for one or more synthetic uevents in which case we logically group these uevents together for any userspace listeners. The "UUID" is expected to be in "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" format where "x" is a hex digit. The value appears in uevent as "SYNTH_UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" environment variable. The "KEY=VALUE" pairs can contain alphanumeric characters only. It's possible to define zero or more more pairs - each pair is then delimited by a space character " ". Each pair appears in synthetic uevents as "SYNTH_ARG_KEY=VALUE" environment variable. That means the KEY name gains "SYNTH_ARG_" prefix to avoid possible collisions with existing variables. To pass the "KEY=VALUE" pairs, it's also required to pass in the "UUID" part for the synthetic uevent first. If "UUID" is not passed in, the generated synthetic uevent gains "SYNTH_UUID=0" environment variable automatically so it's possible to identify this situation in userspace when reading generated uevent and so we can still make a difference between genuine and synthetic uevents.

netns: send uevent messages This patch adds a receive method to NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT netlink sockets to allow sending uevent messages into the network namespace the socket belongs to. Currently non-initial network namespaces are already isolated and don't receive uevents. There are a number of cases where it is beneficial for a sufficiently privileged userspace process to send a uevent into a network namespace. One such use case would be debugging and fuzzing of a piece of software which listens and reacts to uevents. By running a copy of that software inside a network namespace, specific uevents could then be presented to it. More concretely, this would allow for easy testing of udevd/ueventd. This will also allow some piece of software to run components inside a separate network namespace and then effectively filter what that software can receive. Some examples of software that do directly listen to uevents and that we have in the past attempted to run inside a network namespace are rbd (CEPH client) or the X server. Implementation: The implementation has been kept as simple as possible from the kernel's perspective. Specifically, a simple input method uevent_net_rcv() is added to NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT sockets which completely reuses existing af_netlink infrastructure and does neither add an additional netlink family nor requires any user-visible changes. For example, by using netlink_rcv_skb() we can make use of existing netlink infrastructure to report back informative error messages to userspace. Furthermore, this implementation does not introduce any overhead for existing uevent generating codepaths. The struct netns got a new uevent socket member that records the uevent socket associated with that network namespace including its position in the uevent socket list. Since we record the uevent socket for each network namespace in struct net we don't have to walk the whole uevent socket list. Instead we can directly retrieve the relevant uevent socket and send the message. At exit time we can now also trivially remove the uevent socket from the uevent socket list. This keeps the codepath very performant without introducing needless overhead and even makes older codepaths faster. Uevent sequence numbers are kept global. When a uevent message is sent to another network namespace the implementation will simply increment the global uevent sequence number and append it to the received uevent. This has the advantage that the kernel will never need to parse the received uevent message to replace any existing uevent sequence numbers. Instead it is up to the userspace process to remove any existing uevent sequence numbers in case the uevent message to be sent contains any. Security: In order for a caller to send uevent messages to a target network namespace the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the target network namespace. Additionally, any received uevent message is verified to not exceed size UEVENT_BUFFER_SIZE. This includes the space needed to append the uevent sequence number. Testing: This patch has been tested and verified to work with the following udev implementations: 1. CentOS 6 with udevd version 147 2. Debian Sid with systemd-udevd version 237 3.

kobject: support passing in variables for synthetic uevents This patch makes it possible to pass additional arguments in addition to uevent action name when writing /sys/.../uevent attribute. These additional arguments are then inserted into generated synthetic uevent as additional environment variables. Before, we were not able to pass any additional uevent environment variables for synthetic uevents. This made it hard to identify such uevents properly in userspace to make proper distinction between genuine uevents originating from kernel and synthetic uevents triggered from userspace. Also, it was not possible to pass any additional information which would make it possible to optimize and change the way the synthetic uevents are processed back in userspace based on the originating environment of the triggering action in userspace. With the extra additional variables, we are able to pass through this extra information needed and also it makes it possible to synchronize with such synthetic uevents as they can be clearly identified back in userspace. The format for writing the uevent attribute is following: ACTION [UUID [KEY=VALUE ...] There's no change in how "ACTION" is recognized - it stays the same ("add", "change", "remove"). The "ACTION" is the only argument required to generate synthetic uevent, the rest of arguments, that this patch adds support for, are optional. The "UUID" is considered as transaction identifier so it's possible to use the same UUID value for one or more synthetic uevents in which case we logically group these uevents together for any userspace listeners. The "UUID" is expected to be in "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" format where "x" is a hex digit. The value appears in uevent as "SYNTH_UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" environment variable. The "KEY=VALUE" pairs can contain alphanumeric characters only. It's possible to define zero or more more pairs - each pair is then delimited by a space character " ". Each pair appears in synthetic uevents as "SYNTH_ARG_KEY=VALUE" environment variable. That means the KEY name gains "SYNTH_ARG_" prefix to avoid possible collisions with existing variables. To pass the "KEY=VALUE" pairs, it's also required to pass in the "UUID" part for the synthetic uevent first. If "UUID" is not passed in, the generated synthetic uevent gains "SYNTH_UUID=0" environment variable automatically so it's possible to identify this situation in userspace when reading generated uevent and so we can still make a difference between genuine and synthetic uevents.

kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent Currently kobject_uevent has somewhat unpredictable semantics. The point is, since it may call a usermode helper and wait for it to execute (UMH_WAIT_EXEC), it is impossible to say for sure what lock dependencies it will introduce for the caller - strictly speaking it depends on what fs the binary is located on and the set of locks fork may take. There are quite a few kobject_uevent's users that do not take this into account and call it with various mutexes taken, e.g. rtnl_mutex, net_mutex, which might potentially lead to a deadlock. Since there is actually no reason to wait for the usermode helper to execute there, let's make kobject_uevent start the helper asynchronously with the aid of the UMH_NO_WAIT flag. Personally, I'm interested in this, because I really want kobject_uevent to be called under the slab_mutex in the slub implementation as it used to be some time ago, because it greatly simplifies synchronization and automatically fixes a kmemcg-related race. However, there was a deadlock detected on an attempt to call kobject_uevent under the slab_mutex (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/45), which was reported to be fixed by releasing the slab_mutex for kobject_uevent. Unfortunately, there was no information about who exactly blocked on the slab_mutex causing the usermode helper to stall, neither have I managed to find this out or reproduce the issue. BTW, this is not the first attempt to make kobject_uevent use UMH_NO_WAIT. Previous one was made by commit f520360d93cd ("kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent"), but it was wrong (it passed arguments allocated on stack to async thread) so it was reverted in 05f54c13cd0c ("Revert "kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent".").

netns: restrict uevents commit 07e98962fa77 ("kobject: Send hotplug events in all network namespaces") enabled sending hotplug events into all network namespaces back in 2010. Over time the set of uevents that get sent into all network namespaces has shrunk. We have now reached the point where hotplug events for all devices that carry a namespace tag are filtered according to that namespace. Specifically, they are filtered whenever the namespace tag of the kobject does not match the namespace tag of the netlink socket. Currently, only network devices carry namespace tags (i.e. network namespace tags). Hence, uevents for network devices only show up in the network namespace such devices are created in or moved to. However, any uevent for a kobject that does not have a namespace tag associated with it will not be filtered and we will broadcast it into all network namespaces. This behavior stopped making sense when user namespaces were introduced. This patch simplifies and fixes couple of things: - Split codepath for sending uevents by kobject namespace tags: 1. Untagged kobjects - uevent_net_broadcast_untagged(): Untagged kobjects will be broadcast into all uevent sockets recorded in uevent_sock_list, i.e. into all network namespacs owned by the intial user namespace. 2. Tagged kobjects - uevent_net_broadcast_tagged(): Tagged kobjects will only be broadcast into the network namespace they were tagged with. Handling of tagged kobjects in 2. does not cause any semantic changes. This is just splitting out the filtering logic that was handled by kobj_bcast_filter() before. Handling of untagged kobjects in 1. will cause a semantic change. The reasons why this is needed and ok have been discussed in [1]. Here is a short summary: - Userspace ignores uevents from network namespaces that are not owned by the intial user namespace: Uevents are filtered by userspace in a user namespace because the received uid != 0. Instead the uid associated with the event will be 65534 == "nobody" because the global root uid is not mapped. This means we can safely and without introducing regressions modify the kernel to not send uevents into all network namespaces whose owning user namespace is not the initial user namespace because we know that userspace will ignore the message because of the uid anyway. I have a) verified that is is true for every udev implementation out there b) that this behavior has been present in all udev implementations from the very beginning. - Thundering herd: Broadcasting uevents into all network namespaces introduces significant overhead. All processes that listen to uevents running in non-initial user namespaces will end up responding to uevents that will be meaningless to them. Mainly, because non-initial user namespaces cannot easily manage devices unless they have a privileged host-process helping them out. This means that there will be a thundering herd of activity when there shouldn't be any. - Removing needless overhead/Increasing performance: Currently, the uevent socket for each network namespace is added to the global variable uevent_sock_list. The list itself needs to be protected by a mutex. So everytime a uevent is generated the mutex is taken on the list. The mutex is held *from the creation of the uevent (memory allocation, string creation etc. until all uevent sockets have been handled*. This is aggravated by the fact that for each uevent socket that has listeners the mc_list must be walked as well which means we're talking O(n^2) here. Given that a standard Linux workload usually has quite a lot of network namespaces and - in the face of containers - a lot of user namespaces this quickly becomes a performance problem (see "Thundering herd" above). By just recording uevent sockets of network namespaces that are owned by the initial user namespace we significantly increase performance in this codepath. - Injecting uevents: There's a valid argument that containers might be interested in receiving device events especially if they are delegated to them by a privileged userspace process. One prime example are SR-IOV enabled devices that are explicitly designed to be handed of to other users such as VMs or containers. This use-case can now be correctly handled since commit 692ec06d7c92 ("netns: send uevent messages"). This commit introduced the ability to send uevents from userspace. As such we can let a sufficiently privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the network namespace of the netlink socket) userspace process make a decision what uevents should be sent. This removes the need to blindly broadcast uevents into all user namespaces and provides a performant and safe solution to this problem. - Filtering logic: This patch filters by *owning user namespace of the network namespace a given task resides in* and not by user namespace of the task per se. This means if the user namespace of a given task is unshared but the network namespace is kept and is owned by the initial user namespace a listener that is opening the uevent socket in that network namespace can still listen to uevents. - Fix permission for tagged kobjects: Network devices that are created or moved into a network namespace that is owned by a non-initial user namespace currently are send with INVALID_{G,U}ID in their credentials. This means that all current udev implementations in userspace will ignore the uevent they receive for them. This has lead to weird bugs whereby new devices showing up in such network namespaces were not recognized and did not get IPs assigned etc. This patch adjusts the permission to the appropriate {g,u}id in the respective user namespace. This way udevd is able to correctly handle such devices. - Simplify filtering logic: do_one_broadcast() already ensures that only listeners in mc_list receive uevents that have the same network namespace as the uevent socket itself. So the filtering logic in kobj_bcast_filter is not needed (see [3]). This patch therefore removes kobj_bcast_filter() and replaces netlink_broadcast_filtered() with the simpler netlink_broadcast() everywhere.

This means we can safely and without introducing regressions modify the kernel to not send uevents into all network namespaces whose owning user namespace is not the initial user namespace because we know that userspace will ignore the message because of the uid anyway. I have a) verified that is is true for every udev implementation out there b) that this behavior has been present in all udev implementations from the very beginning. - Thundering herd: Broadcasting uevents into all network namespaces introduces significant overhead. All processes that listen to uevents running in non-initial user namespaces will end up responding to uevents that will be meaningless to them. Mainly, because non-initial user namespaces cannot easily manage devices unless they have a privileged host-process helping them out. This means that there will be a thundering herd of activity when there shouldn't be any. - Removing needless overhead/Increasing performance: Currently, the uevent socket for each network namespace is added to the global variable uevent_sock_list. The list itself needs to be protected by a mutex. So everytime a uevent is generated the mutex is taken on the list. The mutex is held *from the creation of the uevent (memory allocation, string creation etc. until all uevent sockets have been handled*. This is aggravated by the fact that for each uevent socket that has listeners the mc_list must be walked as well which means we're talking O(n^2) here. Given that a standard Linux workload usually has quite a lot of network namespaces and - in the face of containers - a lot of user namespaces this quickly becomes a performance problem (see "Thundering herd" above). By just recording uevent sockets of network namespaces that are owned by the initial user namespace we significantly increase performance in this codepath. - Injecting uevents: There's a valid argument that containers might be interested in receiving device events especially if they are delegated to them by a privileged userspace process. One prime example are SR-IOV enabled devices that are explicitly designed to be handed of to other users such as VMs or containers. This use-case can now be correctly handled since commit 692ec06d7c92 ("netns: send uevent messages"). This commit introduced the ability to send uevents from userspace. As such we can let a sufficiently privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the network namespace of the netlink socket) userspace process make a decision what uevents should be sent. This removes the need to blindly broadcast uevents into all user namespaces and provides a performant and safe solution to this problem. - Filtering logic: This patch filters by *owning user namespace of the network namespace a given task resides in* and not by user namespace of the task per se. This means if the user namespace of a given task is unshared but the network namespace is kept and is owned by the initial user namespace a listener that is opening the uevent socket in that network namespace can still listen to uevents. - Fix permission for tagged kobjects: Network devices that are created or moved into a network namespace that is owned by a non-initial user namespace currently are send with INVALID_{G,U}ID in their credentials. This means that all current udev implementations in userspace will ignore the uevent they receive for them. This has lead to weird bugs whereby new devices showing up in such network namespaces were not recognized and did not get IPs assigned etc. This patch adjusts the permission to the appropriate {g,u}id in the respective user namespace. This way udevd is able to correctly handle such devices. - Simplify filtering logic: do_one_broadcast() already ensures that only listeners in mc_list receive uevents that have the same network namespace as the uevent socket itself. So the filtering logic in kobj_bcast_filter is not needed (see [3]). This patch therefore removes kobj_bcast_filter() and replaces netlink_broadcast_filtered() with the simpler netlink_broadcast() everywhere.

netns: restrict uevents commit 07e98962fa77 ("kobject: Send hotplug events in all network namespaces") enabled sending hotplug events into all network namespaces back in 2010. Over time the set of uevents that get sent into all network namespaces has shrunk. We have now reached the point where hotplug events for all devices that carry a namespace tag are filtered according to that namespace. Specifically, they are filtered whenever the namespace tag of the kobject does not match the namespace tag of the netlink socket. Currently, only network devices carry namespace tags (i.e. network namespace tags). Hence, uevents for network devices only show up in the network namespace such devices are created in or moved to. However, any uevent for a kobject that does not have a namespace tag associated with it will not be filtered and we will broadcast it into all network namespaces. This behavior stopped making sense when user namespaces were introduced. This patch simplifies and fixes couple of things: - Split codepath for sending uevents by kobject namespace tags: 1. Untagged kobjects - uevent_net_broadcast_untagged(): Untagged kobjects will be broadcast into all uevent sockets recorded in uevent_sock_list, i.e. into all network namespacs owned by the intial user namespace. 2. Tagged kobjects - uevent_net_broadcast_tagged(): Tagged kobjects will only be broadcast into the network namespace they were tagged with. Handling of tagged kobjects in 2. does not cause any semantic changes. This is just splitting out the filtering logic that was handled by kobj_bcast_filter() before. Handling of untagged kobjects in 1. will cause a semantic change. The reasons why this is needed and ok have been discussed in [1]. Here is a short summary: - Userspace ignores uevents from network namespaces that are not owned by the intial user namespace: Uevents are filtered by userspace in a user namespace because the received uid != 0.

netns: send uevent messages This patch adds a receive method to NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT netlink sockets to allow sending uevent messages into the network namespace the socket belongs to. Currently non-initial network namespaces are already isolated and don't receive uevents. There are a number of cases where it is beneficial for a sufficiently privileged userspace process to send a uevent into a network namespace. One such use case would be debugging and fuzzing of a piece of software which listens and reacts to uevents. By running a copy of that software inside a network namespace, specific uevents could then be presented to it. More concretely, this would allow for easy testing of udevd/ueventd. This will also allow some piece of software to run components inside a separate network namespace and then effectively filter what that software can receive. Some examples of software that do directly listen to uevents and that we have in the past attempted to run inside a network namespace are rbd (CEPH client) or the X server. Implementation: The implementation has been kept as simple as possible from the kernel's perspective. Specifically, a simple input method uevent_net_rcv() is added to NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT sockets which completely reuses existing af_netlink infrastructure and does neither add an additional netlink family nor requires any user-visible changes. For example, by using netlink_rcv_skb() we can make use of existing netlink infrastructure to report back informative error messages to userspace. Furthermore, this implementation does not introduce any overhead for existing uevent generating codepaths. The struct netns got a new uevent socket member that records the uevent socket associated with that network namespace including its position in the uevent socket list. Since we record the uevent socket for each network namespace in struct net we don't have to walk the whole uevent socket list. Instead we can directly retrieve the relevant uevent socket and send the message. At exit time we can now also trivially remove the uevent socket from the uevent socket list. This keeps the codepath very performant without introducing needless overhead and even makes older codepaths faster. Uevent sequence numbers are kept global. When a uevent message is sent to another network namespace the implementation will simply increment the global uevent sequence number and append it to the received uevent. This has the advantage that the kernel will never need to parse the received uevent message to replace any existing uevent sequence numbers. Instead it is up to the userspace process to remove any existing uevent sequence numbers in case the uevent message to be sent contains any. Security: In order for a caller to send uevent messages to a target network namespace the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the target network namespace. Additionally, any received uevent message is verified to not exceed size UEVENT_BUFFER_SIZE. This includes the space needed to append the uevent sequence number. Testing: This patch has been tested and verified to work with the following udev implementations: 1. CentOS 6 with udevd version 147 2. Debian Sid with systemd-udevd version 237 3.

netns: restrict uevents commit 07e98962fa77 ("kobject: Send hotplug events in all network namespaces") enabled sending hotplug events into all network namespaces back in 2010. Over time the set of uevents that get sent into all network namespaces has shrunk. We have now reached the point where hotplug events for all devices that carry a namespace tag are filtered according to that namespace. Specifically, they are filtered whenever the namespace tag of the kobject does not match the namespace tag of the netlink socket. Currently, only network devices carry namespace tags (i.e. network namespace tags). Hence, uevents for network devices only show up in the network namespace such devices are created in or moved to. However, any uevent for a kobject that does not have a namespace tag associated with it will not be filtered and we will broadcast it into all network namespaces. This behavior stopped making sense when user namespaces were introduced. This patch simplifies and fixes couple of things: - Split codepath for sending uevents by kobject namespace tags: 1. Untagged kobjects - uevent_net_broadcast_untagged(): Untagged kobjects will be broadcast into all uevent sockets recorded in uevent_sock_list, i.e. into all network namespacs owned by the intial user namespace. 2. Tagged kobjects - uevent_net_broadcast_tagged(): Tagged kobjects will only be broadcast into the network namespace they were tagged with. Handling of tagged kobjects in 2. does not cause any semantic changes. This is just splitting out the filtering logic that was handled by kobj_bcast_filter() before. Handling of untagged kobjects in 1. will cause a semantic change. The reasons why this is needed and ok have been discussed in [1]. Here is a short summary: - Userspace ignores uevents from network namespaces that are not owned by the intial user namespace: Uevents are filtered by userspace in a user namespace because the received uid != 0. Instead the uid associated with the event will be 65534 == "nobody" because the global root uid is not mapped. This means we can safely and without introducing regressions modify the kernel to not send uevents into all network namespaces whose owning user namespace is not the initial user namespace because we know that userspace will ignore the message because of the uid anyway. I have a) verified that is is true for every udev implementation out there b) that this behavior has been present in all udev implementations from the very beginning. - Thundering herd: Broadcasting uevents into all network namespaces introduces significant overhead. All processes that listen to uevents running in non-initial user namespaces will end up responding to uevents that will be meaningless to them. Mainly, because non-initial user namespaces cannot easily manage devices unless they have a privileged host-process helping them out. This means that there will be a thundering herd of activity when there shouldn't be any. - Removing needless overhead/Increasing performance: Currently, the uevent socket for each network namespace is added to the global variable uevent_sock_list. The list itself needs to be protected by a mutex. So everytime a uevent is generated the mutex is taken on the list. The mutex is held *from the creation of the uevent (memory allocation, string creation etc. until all uevent sockets have been handled*. This is aggravated by the fact that for each uevent socket that has listeners the mc_list must be walked as well which means we're talking O(n^2) here. Given that a standard Linux workload usually has quite a lot of network namespaces and - in the face of containers - a lot of user namespaces this quickly becomes a performance problem (see "Thundering herd" above). By just recording uevent sockets of network namespaces that are owned by the initial user namespace we significantly increase performance in this codepath. - Injecting uevents: There's a valid argument that containers might be interested in receiving device events especially if they are delegated to them by a privileged userspace process. One prime example are SR-IOV enabled devices that are explicitly designed to be handed of to other users such as VMs or containers. This use-case can now be correctly handled since commit 692ec06d7c92 ("netns: send uevent messages"). This commit introduced the ability to send uevents from userspace. As such we can let a sufficiently privileged (CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the network namespace of the netlink socket) userspace process make a decision what uevents should be sent. This removes the need to blindly broadcast uevents into all user namespaces and provides a performant and safe solution to this problem. - Filtering logic: This patch filters by *owning user namespace of the network namespace a given task resides in* and not by user namespace of the task per se. This means if the user namespace of a given task is unshared but the network namespace is kept and is owned by the initial user namespace a listener that is opening the uevent socket in that network namespace can still listen to uevents. - Fix permission for tagged kobjects: Network devices that are created or moved into a network namespace that is owned by a non-initial user namespace currently are send with INVALID_{G,U}ID in their credentials. This means that all current udev implementations in userspace will ignore the uevent they receive for them. This has lead to weird bugs whereby new devices showing up in such network namespaces were not recognized and did not get IPs assigned etc. This patch adjusts the permission to the appropriate {g,u}id in the respective user namespace. This way udevd is able to correctly handle such devices. - Simplify filtering logic: do_one_broadcast() already ensures that only listeners in mc_list receive uevents that have the same network namespace as the uevent socket itself. So the filtering logic in kobj_bcast_filter is not needed (see [3]). This patch therefore removes kobj_bcast_filter() and replaces netlink_broadcast_filtered() with the simpler netlink_broadcast() everywhere.
