no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b144
("fs: remove no_llseek")
To quote that commit,
At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -
git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
sed -i '/\<no_llseek\>/d' $i
done
would do it.
Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.12.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs file updates from Christian Brauner:
"This is the work to cleanup and shrink struct file significantly.
Right now, (focusing on x86) struct file is 232 bytes. After this
series struct file will be 184 bytes aka 3 cacheline and a spare 8
bytes for future extensions at the end of the struct.
With struct file being as ubiquitous as it is this should make a
difference for file heavy workloads and allow further optimizations in
the future.
- struct fown_struct was embedded into struct file letting it take up
32 bytes in total when really it shouldn't even be embedded in
struct file in the first place. Instead, actual users of struct
fown_struct now allocate the struct on demand. This frees up 24
bytes.
- Move struct file_ra_state into the union containg the cleanup hooks
and move f_iocb_flags out of the union. This closes a 4 byte hole
we created earlier and brings struct file to 192 bytes. Which means
struct file is 3 cachelines and we managed to shrink it by 40
bytes.
- Reorder struct file so that nothing crosses a cacheline.
I suspect that in the future we will end up reordering some members
to mitigate false sharing issues or just because someone does
actually provide really good perf data.
- Shrinking struct file to 192 bytes is only part of the work.
Files use a slab that is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and when a kmem cache
is created with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU the free pointer must be
located outside of the object because the cache doesn't know what
part of the memory can safely be overwritten as it may be needed to
prevent object recycling.
That has the consequence that SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU may end up
adding a new cacheline.
So this also contains work to add a new kmem_cache_create_rcu()
function that allows the caller to specify an offset where the
freelist pointer is supposed to be placed. Thus avoiding the
implicit addition of a fourth cacheline.
- And finally this removes the f_version member in struct file.
The f_version member isn't particularly well-defined. It is mainly
used as a cookie to detect concurrent seeks when iterating
directories. But it is also abused by some subsystems for
completely unrelated things.
It is mostly a directory and filesystem specific thing that doesn't
really need to live in struct file and with its wonky semantics it
really lacks a specific function.
For pipes, f_version is (ab)used to defer poll notifications until
a write has happened. And struct pipe_inode_info is used by
multiple struct files in their ->private_data so there's no chance
of pushing that down into file->private_data without introducing
another pointer indirection.
But pipes don't rely on f_pos_lock so this adds a union into struct
file encompassing f_pos_lock and a pipe specific f_pipe member that
pipes can use. This union of course can be extended to other file
types and is similar to what we do in struct inode already"

Pipes use f_version to defer poll notifications until a write has been
observed. Since multiple file's refer to the same struct pipe_inode_info
in their ->private_data moving it into their isn't feasible since we
would need to introduce an additional pointer indirection.
However, since pipes don't require f_pos_lock we placed a new f_pipe
member into a union with f_pos_lock that pipes can use. This is similar
to what we already do for struct inode where we have additional fields
per file type. This will allow us to fully remove f_version in the next
step.

*_lock_nested() is fundamentally broken; lockdep needs to check lock
ordering, but we cannot device a total ordering on an unbounded number

the replacement is to define lock ordering with a proper comparison

To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size
penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the
final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this
work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/ directory only.
The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as those patches
are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect also the removal of the
no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
Let us recap the purpose of this work:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls
out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to see further
work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the struct ctl_table.
Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have suggested
for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for v6.9-rc1 I look forward
to seeing him sent you a pull request for further sysctl changes. This also
removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer as he has moved on to other projects and
has had no time to help at all.

Commit c73be61ced ("pipe: Add general notification queue support") a
regression was introduced that would lock up resized pipes under certain
conditions. See the reproducer in [1].
The commit resizing the pipe ring size was moved to a different
function, doing that moved the wakeup for pipe->wr_wait before actually
raising pipe->max_usage. If a pipe was full before the resize occured it
would result in the wakeup never actually triggering pipe_write.
Set @max_usage and @nr_accounted before waking writers if this isn't a
watch queue.

[Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>: rewrite to account for watch queues]
Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
When you try to splice between a normal pipe and a notification pipe,
get_pipe_info(..., true) fails, so splice() falls back to treating the
notification pipe like a normal pipe - so we end up in
iter_file_splice_write(), which first locks the input pipe, then calls
vfs_iter_write(), which locks the output pipe.
Lockdep complains about that, because we're taking a pipe lock while
already holding another pipe lock.
I think this probably (?) can't actually lead to deadlocks, since you'd
need another way to nest locking a normal pipe into locking a
watch_queue pipe, but the lockdep annotations don't make that clear.
Bail out earlier in pipe_write() for notification pipes, before taking
the pipe lock.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They
are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount.
- Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This
helps in scenarios where we would usually only print
"unknown-block(1,2)".
- Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the
endless POSIX ACL saga in a way.
When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip
the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might
take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX
ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end
up with:
(1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs
(2) SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in filesystem
The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems
that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL
purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and
Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server
and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the
upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer.
This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that
don't even have POSIX ACL support at all.
Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal
superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask
handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's
not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all
umask handling always in the vfs.
- Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too.
- Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in
IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a
very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider
cleanup that was done.
- Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly
from Amir:
When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files
and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a
"fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is
the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem.
In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the
backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change
allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an
overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make
fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem
objects that were accessed via overlayfs.
This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to
new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent
example is commit db1d1e8b98 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get
the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in
IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to
reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring.
This contains work to switch things around: instead of having
filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code
opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed.
Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use
the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing
crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path
exposed by default.
This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did
not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to
catch if we have made any wrong assumptions.
After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a
plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real().
- Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small
change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on
their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work.
Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for
files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions
between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So
extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There
are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly
and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under
rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always
dodgy.
I forgot to put in the link tag for this change and the discussion
in the commit so adding it into the merge message:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230926162228.68666-1-mjguzik@gmail.com
Cleanups:
- Various smaller pipe cleanups including the removal of a spin lock
that was only used to protect against writes without pipe_lock()
from O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE aka watch queues. As that was never
implemented remove the additional locking from pipe_write().
- Annotate struct watch_filter with the new __counted_by attribute.
- Clarify do_unlinkat() cleanup so that it doesn't look like an extra
iput() is done that would cause issues.
- Simplify file cleanup when the file has never been opened.
- Use module helper instead of open-coding it.
- Predict error unlikely for stale retry.
- Use WRITE_ONCE() for mount expiry field instead of just commenting
that one hopes the compiler doesn't get smart.
Fixes:
- Fix readahead on block devices.
- Fix writeback when layztime is enabled and inodes whose timestamp
is the only thing that changed reside on wb->b_dirty_time. This
caused excessively large zombie memory cgroup when lazytime was
enabled as such inodes weren't handled fast enough.

If there is no watch_queue, holding the pipe mutex is enough to
prevent concurrent writes, and we can avoid the spinlock.
O_NOTIFICATION_QUEUE is an exotic and rarely used feature, and of all
the pipes that exist at any given time, only very few actually have a
watch_queue, therefore it appears worthwile to optimize the common
case.
This patch does not optimize pipe_resize_ring() where the spinlocks
could be avoided as well; that does not seem like a worthwile
optimization because this function is not called often.

c73be61ced ("pipe: Add general notification queue support") because
now pipe_write() fails early with -EXDEV if there is a watch_queue.
Without a watch_queue, no notifications can be posted to the pipe and
mutex protection is enough, as can be seen in splice_pipe_to_pipe()
which does not use the spinlock either.

Patch series "Fix data-races around epoll reported by KCSAN."
This series suppresses a false positive KCSAN's message and fixes a real

This patch (of 2):
pipe_poll() runs locklessly and assigns 1 to poll_usage. Once poll_usage
is set to 1, it never changes in other places. However, concurrent writes
of a value trigger KCSAN, so let's make KCSAN happy.

This reverts commit 5a519c8fe4.
It turns out that making the pipe almost arbitrarily large has some
rather unexpected downsides. The kernel test robot reports a kernel
warning that is due to pipe->max_usage now growing to the point where
the iter_file_splice_write() buffer allocation can no longer be
satisfied as a slab allocation, and the
int nbufs = pipe->max_usage;
struct bio_vec *array = kcalloc(nbufs, sizeof(struct bio_vec),
GFP_KERNEL);
code sequence there will now always fail as a result.
That code could be modified to use kvcalloc() too, but I feel very
uncomfortable making those kinds of changes for a very niche use case
that really should have other options than make these kinds of
fundamental changes to pipe behavior.
Maybe the CRIU process dumping should be multi-threaded, and use
multiple pipes and multiple cores, rather than try to use one larger
pipe to minimize splice() calls.

Right now, kcalloc is used to allocate a pipe_buffer array. The size of
the pipe_buffer struct is 40 bytes. kcalloc allows allocating reliably
chunks with sizes less or equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER (3). It
means that the maximum pipe size is 3.2MB in this case.
In CRIU, we use pipes to dump processes memory. CRIU freezes a target
process, injects a parasite code into it and then this code splices
memory into pipes. If a maximum pipe size is small, we need to do many
iterations or create many pipes.
kvcalloc attempt to allocate physically contiguous memory, but upon
failure, fall back to non-contiguous (vmalloc) allocation and so it
isn't limited by PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
The maximum pipe size for non-root users is limited by the
/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size sysctl that is 1MB by default, so only the
root user will be able to trigger vmalloc allocations.

There's nothing to synchronise post_one_notification() versus
pipe_read(). Whilst posting is done under pipe->rd_wait.lock, the
reader only takes pipe->mutex which cannot bar notification posting as
that may need to be made from contexts that cannot sleep.
Fix this by setting pipe->head with a barrier in post_one_notification()
and reading pipe->head with a barrier in pipe_read().
If that's not sufficient, the rd_wait.lock will need to be taken,
possibly in a ->confirm() op so that it only applies to notifications.
The lock would, however, have to be dropped before copy_page_to_iter()
is invoked.

In free_pipe_info(), free the watchqueue state after clearing the pipe
ring as each pipe ring descriptor has a release function, and in the
case of a notification message, this is watch_queue_pipe_buf_release()
which tries to mark the allocation bitmap that was previously released.
Fix this by moving the put of the pipe's ref on the watch queue to after
the ring has been cleared. We still need to call watch_queue_clear()
before doing that to make sure that the pipe is disconnected from any
notification sources first.

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.
So move the pipe sysctls to its own file.

This reverts commit 9857a17f20.
That commit was completely broken, and I should have caught on to it
earlier. But happily, the kernel test robot noticed the breakage fairly
quickly.
The breakage is because "try_get_page()" is about avoiding the page
reference count overflow case, but is otherwise the exact same as a
plain "get_page()".
In contrast, "try_get_compound_head()" is an entirely different beast,
and uses __page_cache_add_speculative() because it's not just about the
page reference count, but also about possibly racing with the underlying
page going away.
So all the commentary about how
"try_get_page() has fallen a little behind in terms of maintenance,
try_get_compound_head() handles speculative page references more
thoroughly"
was just completely wrong: yes, try_get_compound_head() handles
speculative page references, but the point is that try_get_page() does
not, and must not.
So there's no lack of maintainance - there are fundamentally different
semantics.
A speculative page reference would be entirely wrong in "get_page()",
and it's entirely wrong in "try_get_page()". It's not about
speculation, it's purely about "uhhuh, you can't get this page because
you've tried to increment the reference count too much already".
The reason the kernel test robot noticed this bug was that it hit the
VM_BUG_ON() in __page_cache_add_speculative(), which is all about
verifying that the context of any speculative page access is correct.
But since that isn't what try_get_page() is all about, the VM_BUG_ON()
tests things that are not correct to test for try_get_page().

try_get_page() is very similar to try_get_compound_head(), and in fact
try_get_page() has fallen a little behind in terms of maintenance:
try_get_compound_head() handles speculative page references more
thoroughly.
There are only two try_get_page() callsites, so just call
try_get_compound_head() directly from those, and remove try_get_page()
entirely.
Also, seeing as how this changes try_get_compound_head() into a non-static
function, provide some kerneldoc documentation for it.

It turns out that the SIGIO/FASYNC situation is almost exactly the same
as the EPOLLET case was: user space really wants to be notified after
every operation.
Now, in a perfect world it should be sufficient to only notify user
space on "state transitions" when the IO state changes (ie when a pipe
goes from unreadable to readable, or from unwritable to writable). User
space should then do as much as possible - fully emptying the buffer or
what not - and we'll notify it again the next time the state changes.
But as with EPOLLET, we have at least one case (stress-ng) where the
kernel sent SIGIO due to the pipe being marked for asynchronous
notification, but the user space signal handler then didn't actually
necessarily read it all before returning (it read more than what was
written, but since there could be multiple writes, it could leave data
pending).
The user space code then expected to get another SIGIO for subsequent
writes - even though the pipe had been readable the whole time - and
would only then read more.
This is arguably a user space bug - and Colin King already fixed the
stress-ng code in question - but the kernel regression rules are clear:
it doesn't matter if kernel people think that user space did something
silly and wrong. What matters is that it used to work.
So if user space depends on specific historical kernel behavior, it's a
regression when that behavior changes. It's on us: we were silly to
have that non-optimal historical behavior, and our old kernel behavior
was what user space was tested against.
Because of how the FASYNC notification was tied to wakeup behavior, this
was first broken by commits f467a6a664 and 1b6b26ae70 ("pipe: fix
and clarify pipe read/write wakeup logic"), but at the time it seems
nobody noticed. Probably because the stress-ng problem case ends up
being timing-dependent too.
It was then unwittingly fixed by commit 3a34b13a88 ("pipe: make pipe
writes always wake up readers") only to be broken again when by commit
3b844826b6 ("pipe: avoid unnecessary EPOLLET wakeups under normal
loads").
And at that point the kernel test robot noticed the performance
refression in the stress-ng.sigio.ops_per_sec case. So the "Fixes" tag
below is somewhat ad hoc, but it matches when the issue was noticed.
Fix it for good (knock wood) by simply making the kill_fasync() case
separate from the wakeup case. FASYNC is quite rare, and we clearly
shouldn't even try to use the "avoid unnecessary wakeups" logic for it.

I had forgotten just how sensitive hackbench is to extra pipe wakeups,
and commit 3a34b13a88 ("pipe: make pipe writes always wake up
readers") ended up causing a quite noticeable regression on larger
machines.
Now, hackbench isn't necessarily a hugely meaningful benchmark, and it's
not clear that this matters in real life all that much, but as Mel
points out, it's used often enough when comparing kernels and so the
performance regression shows up like a sore thumb.
It's easy enough to fix at least for the common cases where pipes are
used purely for data transfer, and you never have any exciting poll
usage at all. So set a special 'poll_usage' flag when there is polling
activity, and make the ugly "EPOLLET has crazy legacy expectations"
semantics explicit to only that case.
I would love to limit it to just the broken EPOLLET case, but the pipe
code can't see the difference between epoll and regular select/poll, so
any non-read/write waiting will trigger the extra wakeup behavior. That
is sufficient for at least the hackbench case.
Apart from making the odd extra wakeup cases more explicitly about
EPOLLET, this also makes the extra wakeup be at the _end_ of the pipe
write, not at the first write chunk. That is actually much saner
semantics (as much as you can call any of the legacy edge-triggered
expectations for EPOLLET "sane") since it means that you know the wakeup
will happen once the write is done, rather than possibly in the middle
of one.
[ For stable people: I'm putting a "Fixes" tag on this, but I leave it
up to you to decide whether you actually want to backport it or not.

Since commit 1b6b26ae70 ("pipe: fix and clarify pipe write wakeup
logic") we have sanitized the pipe write logic, and would only try to
wake up readers if they needed it.
In particular, if the pipe already had data in it before the write,
there was no point in trying to wake up a reader, since any existing
readers must have been aware of the pre-existing data already. Doing
extraneous wakeups will only cause potential thundering herd problems.
However, it turns out that some Android libraries have misused the EPOLL
interface, and expected "edge triggered" be to "any new write will
trigger it". Even if there was no edge in sight.
Quoting Sandeep Patil:
"The commit 1b6b26ae70 ('pipe: fix and clarify pipe write wakeup
logic') changed pipe write logic to wakeup readers only if the pipe
was empty at the time of write. However, there are libraries that
relied upon the older behavior for notification scheme similar to
what's described in [1]
One such library 'realm-core'[2] is used by numerous Android
applications. The library uses a similar notification mechanism as GNU
Make but it never drains the pipe until it is full. When Android moved
to v5.10 kernel, all applications using this library stopped working.
The library has since been fixed[3] but it will be a while before all
applications incorporate the updated library"
Our regression rule for the kernel is that if applications break from
new behavior, it's a regression, even if it was because the application
did something patently wrong. Also note the original report [4] by
Michal Kerrisk about a test for this epoll behavior - but at that point
we didn't know of any actual broken use case.
So add the extraneous wakeup, to approximate the old behavior.
[ I say "approximate", because the exact old behavior was to do a wakeup
not for each write(), but for each pipe buffer chunk that was filled
in. The behavior introduced by this change is not that - this is just
"every write will cause a wakeup, whether necessary or not", which
seems to be sufficient for the broken library use. ]
It's worth noting that this adds the extraneous wakeup only for the
write side, while the read side still considers the "edge" to be purely
about reading enough from the pipe to allow further writes.
See commit f467a6a664 ("pipe: fix and clarify pipe read wakeup logic")
for the pipe read case, which remains that "only wake up if the pipe was
full, and we read something from it".

Pull vfs fix from Al Viro:
"Fixes an obvious bug (memory leak introduced in 5.8)"
* 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
pipe: Fix memory leaks in create_pipe_files()
The pipe splice code still used the old model of waiting for pipe IO by
using a non-specific "pipe_wait()" that waited for any pipe event to
happen, which depended on all pipe IO being entirely serialized by the
pipe lock. So by checking the state you were waiting for, and then
adding yourself to the wait queue before dropping the lock, you were
guaranteed to see all the wakeups.
Strictly speaking, the actual wakeups were not done under the lock, but
the pipe_wait() model still worked, because since the waiter held the
lock when checking whether it should sleep, it would always see the
current state, and the wakeup was always done after updating the state.
However, commit 0ddad21d3e ("pipe: use exclusive waits when reading or
writing") split the single wait-queue into two, and in the process also
made the "wait for event" code wait for _two_ wait queues, and that then
showed a race with the wakers that were not serialized by the pipe lock.
It's only splice that used that "pipe_wait()" model, so the problem
wasn't obvious, but Josef Bacik reports:
"I hit a hang with fstest btrfs/187, which does a btrfs send into
/dev/null. This works by creating a pipe, the write side is given to
the kernel to write into, and the read side is handed to a thread that
splices into a file, in this case /dev/null.
The box that was hung had the write side stuck here [pipe_write] and
the read side stuck here [splice_from_pipe_next -> pipe_wait].
[ more details about pipe_wait() scenario ]
The problem is we're doing the prepare_to_wait, which sets our state
each time, however we can be woken up either with reads or writes. In
the case above we race with the WRITER waking us up, and re-set our
state to INTERRUPTIBLE, and thus never break out of schedule"
Josef had a patch that avoided the issue in pipe_wait() by just making
it set the state only once, but the deeper problem is that pipe_wait()
depends on a level of synchonization by the pipe mutex that it really
shouldn't. And the whole "wait for any pipe state change" model really
isn't very good to begin with.
So rather than trying to work around things in pipe_wait(), remove that
legacy model of "wait for arbitrary pipe event" entirely, and actually
create functions that wait for the pipe actually being readable or
writable, and can do so without depending on the pipe lock serializing
everything.

Calling pipe2() with O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE could results in memory
leaks unless watch_queue_init() is successful.
In case of watch_queue_init() failure in pipe2() we are left
with inode and pipe_inode_info instances that need to be freed. That
failure exit has been introduced in commit c73be61ced ("pipe: Add
general notification queue support") and its handling should've been
identical to nearby treatment of alloc_file_pseudo() failures - it
is dealing with the same situation. As it is, the mainline kernel
leaks in that case.
Another problem is that CONFIG_WATCH_QUEUE and !CONFIG_WATCH_QUEUE
cases are treated differently (and the former leaks just pipe_inode_info,
the latter - both pipe_inode_info and inode).
Fixed by providing a dummy wacth_queue_init() in !CONFIG_WATCH_QUEUE
case and by having failures of wacth_queue_init() handled the same way
we handle alloc_file_pseudo() ones.

Pull notification queue from David Howells:
"This adds a general notification queue concept and adds an event
source for keys/keyrings, such as linking and unlinking keys and
changing their attributes.
Thanks to Debarshi Ray, we do have a pull request to use this to fix a
problem with gnome-online-accounts - as mentioned last time:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/merge_requests/47
Without this, g-o-a has to constantly poll a keyring-based kerberos
cache to find out if kinit has changed anything.
[ There are other notification pending: mount/sb fsinfo notifications
for libmount that Karel Zak and Ian Kent have been working on, and
Christian Brauner would like to use them in lxc, but let's see how
this one works first ]
LSM hooks are included:
- A set of hooks are provided that allow an LSM to rule on whether or
not a watch may be set. Each of these hooks takes a different
"watched object" parameter, so they're not really shareable. The
LSM should use current's credentials. [Wanted by SELinux & Smack]
- A hook is provided to allow an LSM to rule on whether or not a
particular message may be posted to a particular queue. This is
given the credentials from the event generator (which may be the
system) and the watch setter. [Wanted by Smack]
I've provided SELinux and Smack with implementations of some of these
hooks.
WHY
===
Key/keyring notifications are desirable because if you have your
kerberos tickets in a file/directory, your Gnome desktop will monitor
that using something like fanotify and tell you if your credentials
cache changes.
However, we also have the ability to cache your kerberos tickets in
the session, user or persistent keyring so that it isn't left around
on disk across a reboot or logout. Keyrings, however, cannot currently
be monitored asynchronously, so the desktop has to poll for it - not
so good on a laptop. This facility will allow the desktop to avoid the
need to poll.
DESIGN DECISIONS
================
- The notification queue is built on top of a standard pipe. Messages
are effectively spliced in. The pipe is opened with a special flag:
pipe2(fds, O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE);
The special flag has the same value as O_EXCL (which doesn't seem
like it will ever be applicable in this context)[?]. It is given up
front to make it a lot easier to prohibit splice&co from accessing
the pipe.
[?] Should this be done some other way? I'd rather not use up a new
O_* flag if I can avoid it - should I add a pipe3() system call
instead?
The pipe is then configured::
ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, queue_depth);
ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_FILTER, &filter);
Messages are then read out of the pipe using read().
- It should be possible to allow write() to insert data into the
notification pipes too, but this is currently disabled as the
kernel has to be able to insert messages into the pipe *without*
holding pipe->mutex and the code to make this work needs careful
auditing.
- sendfile(), splice() and vmsplice() are disabled on notification
pipes because of the pipe->mutex issue and also because they
sometimes want to revert what they just did - but one or more
notification messages might've been interleaved in the ring.
- The kernel inserts messages with the wait queue spinlock held. This
means that pipe_read() and pipe_write() have to take the spinlock
to update the queue pointers.
- Records in the buffer are binary, typed and have a length so that
they can be of varying size.
This allows multiple heterogeneous sources to share a common
buffer; there are 16 million types available, of which I've used
just a few, so there is scope for others to be used. Tags may be
specified when a watchpoint is created to help distinguish the
sources.
- Records are filterable as types have up to 256 subtypes that can be
individually filtered. Other filtration is also available.
- Notification pipes don't interfere with each other; each may be
bound to a different set of watches. Any particular notification
will be copied to all the queues that are currently watching for it
- and only those that are watching for it.
- When recording a notification, the kernel will not sleep, but will
rather mark a queue as having lost a message if there's
insufficient space. read() will fabricate a loss notification
message at an appropriate point later.
- The notification pipe is created and then watchpoints are attached
to it, using one of:
keyctl_watch_key(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, fds[1], 0x01);
watch_mount(AT_FDCWD, "/", 0, fd, 0x02);
watch_sb(AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", 0, fd, 0x03);
where in both cases, fd indicates the queue and the number after is
a tag between 0 and 255.
- Watches are removed if either the notification pipe is destroyed or
the watched object is destroyed. In the latter case, a message will
be generated indicating the enforced watch removal.
Things I want to avoid:
- Introducing features that make the core VFS dependent on the
network stack or networking namespaces (ie. usage of netlink).
- Dumping all this stuff into dmesg and having a daemon that sits
there parsing the output and distributing it as this then puts the
responsibility for security into userspace and makes handling
namespaces tricky. Further, dmesg might not exist or might be
inaccessible inside a container.
- Letting users see events they shouldn't be able to see.
TESTING AND MANPAGES
====================
- The keyutils tree has a pipe-watch branch that has keyctl commands
for making use of notifications. Proposed manual pages can also be
found on this branch, though a couple of them really need to go to
the main manpages repository instead.
If the kernel supports the watching of keys, then running "make
test" on that branch will cause the testing infrastructure to spawn
a monitoring process on the side that monitors a notifications pipe
for all the key/keyring changes induced by the tests and they'll
all be checked off to make sure they happened.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/keyutils.git/log/?h=pipe-watch
- A test program is provided (samples/watch_queue/watch_test) that
can be used to monitor for keyrings, mount and superblock events.
