introduce fd_file(), convert all accessors to it.
For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

watch_queue: fix kcalloc() arguments order
When compiling with gcc version 14.0.0 20231220 (experimental)
and W=1, I've noticed the following warning:
kernel/watch_queue.c: In function 'watch_queue_set_size':
kernel/watch_queue.c:273:32: warning: 'kcalloc' sizes specified with 'sizeof'
in the earlier argument and not in the later argument [-Wcalloc-transposed-args]
273 | pages = kcalloc(sizeof(struct page *), nr_pages, GFP_KERNEL);
| ^~~~~~
Since 'n' and 'size' arguments of 'kcalloc()' are multiplied to
calculate the final size, their actual order doesn't affect the
result and so this is not a bug. But it's still worth to fix it.

watch_queue: prevent dangling pipe pointer
NULL the dangling pipe reference while clearing watch_queue. If not done, a reference to a freed pipe remains in the watch_queue, as this function is called before freeing a pipe in free_pipe_info() (see line 834 of fs/pipe.c). The sole use of wqueue->defunct is for checking if the watch queue has been cleared, but wqueue->pipe is also NULLed while clearing. Thus, wqueue->defunct is superfluous, as wqueue->pipe can be checked for NULL. Hence, the former can be removed. Tested with keyutils testsuite.

modules-6.4-rc1
The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
* Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
* Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
* My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded
prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the
respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although
the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have
been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to
just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details
on this pull request.
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the struct module_layout with a new
struct module memory. The old data structure tried to put together all
types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new
one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each
one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the
future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes
they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory
areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the
merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle
of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found
for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by
using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific
dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area
is active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit

watch_queue: fix IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE alloc error paths
The watch_queue_set_size() allocation error paths return the ret value
set via the prior pipe_resize_ring() call, which will always be zero.
As a result, IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE callers such as "keyctl watch"
fail to detect kernel wqueue->notes allocation failures and proceed to
KEYCTL_WATCH_KEY, with any notifications subsequently lost.

watch_queue: Fix missing locking in add_watch_to_object()
If a watch is being added to a queue, it needs to guard against
interference from addition of a new watch, manual removal of a watch and
removal of a watch due to some other queue being destroyed.
KEYCTL_WATCH_KEY guards against this for the same {key,queue} pair by
holding the key->sem writelocked and by holding refs on both the key and
the queue - but that doesn't prevent interaction from other {key,queue}
pairs.
While add_watch_to_object() does take the spinlock on the event queue,
it doesn't take the lock on the source's watch list. The assumption was
that the caller would prevent that (say by taking key->sem) - but that
doesn't prevent interference from the destruction of another queue.
Fix this by locking the watcher list in add_watch_to_object().

hlist_add_head() for that list.

watch-queue: remove spurious double semicolon
Sedat Dilek noticed that I had an extraneous semicolon at the end of a
line in the previous patch.
It's harmless, but unintentional, and while compilers just treat it as
an extra empty statement, for all I know some other tooling might warn
about it. So clean it up before other people notice too ;)

watchqueue: make sure to serialize 'wqueue->defunct' properly
When the pipe is closed, we mark the associated watchqueue defunct by calling watch_queue_clear(). However, while that is protected by the watchqueue lock, new watchqueue entries aren't actually added under that lock at all: they use the pipe->rd_wait.lock instead, and looking up that pipe happens without any locking. The watchqueue code uses the RCU read-side section to make sure that the wqueue entry itself hasn't disappeared, but that does not protect the pipe_info in any way. So make sure to actually hold the wqueue lock when posting watch events, properly serializing against the pipe being torn down.

watch_queue: Fix NULL dereference in error cleanup
In watch_queue_set_size(), the error cleanup code doesn't take account of
the fact that __free_page() can't handle a NULL pointer when trying to free

Fix this by only calling __free_page() on the pages actually allocated.

the latter is true, the first bit is superfluous since at the time this

watch_queue: Fix lack of barrier/sync/lock between post and read
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.

watch_queue: Fix to always request a pow-of-2 pipe ring size
The pipe ring size must always be a power of 2 as the head and tail
pointers are masked off by AND'ing with the size of the ring - 1.
watch_queue_set_size(), however, lets you specify any number of notes
between 1 and 511. This number is passed through to pipe_resize_ring()
without checking/forcing its alignment.
Fix this by rounding the number of slots required up to the nearest
power of two. The request is meant to guarantee that at least that many
notifications can be generated before the queue is full, so rounding
down isn't an option, but, alternatively, it may be better to give an
error if we aren't allowed to allocate that much ring space.

watch_queue: Fix filter limit check
In watch_queue_set_filter(), there are a couple of places where we check
that the filter type value does not exceed what the type_filter bitmap
can hold. One place calculates the number of bits by:
if (tf[i].type >= sizeof(wfilter->type_filter) * 8)
which is fine, but the second does:
if (tf[i].type >= sizeof(wfilter->type_filter) * BITS_PER_LONG)
which is not. This can lead to a couple of out-of-bounds writes due to
a too-large type:
(1) __set_bit() on wfilter->type_filter
(2) Writing more elements in wfilter->filters[] than we allocated.
Fix this by just using the proper WATCH_TYPE__NR instead, which is the
number of types we actually know about.
The bug may cause an oops looking something like:

watch_queue: Limit the number of watches a user can hold
Impose a limit on the number of watches that a user can hold so that
they can't use this mechanism to fill up all the available memory.
This is done by putting a counter in user_struct that's incremented when
a watch is allocated and decreased when it is released. If the number
exceeds the RLIMIT_NOFILE limit, the watch is rejected with EAGAIN.
This can be tested by the following means:
(1) Create a watch queue and attach it to fd 5 in the program given - in
this case, bash:
keyctl watch_session /tmp/nlog /tmp/gclog 5 bash
(2) In the shell, set the maximum number of files to, say, 99:
ulimit -n 99
(3) Add 200 keyrings:
for ((i=0; i<200; i++)); do keyctl newring a$i @s || break; done
(4) Try to watch all of the keyrings:
for ((i=0; i<200; i++)); do echo $i; keyctl watch_add 5 %:a$i || break; done
This should fail when the number of watches belonging to the user hits
99.
(5) Remove all the keyrings and all of those watches should go away:
for ((i=0; i<200; i++)); do keyctl unlink %:a$i; done
(6) Kill off the watch queue by exiting the shell spawned by
watch_session.

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.
Information on the notifications is simply logged to stdout"

pipe: Add notification lossage handling
Add handling for loss of notifications by having read() insert a loss-notification message after it has read the pipe buffer that was last in the ring when the loss occurred. Lossage can come about either by running out of notification descriptors or by running out of space in the pipe ring. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> |

pipe: Allow buffers to be marked read-whole-or-error for notifications
Allow a buffer to be marked such that read() must return the entire buffer in one go or return ENOBUFS. Multiple buffers can be amalgamated into a single read, but a short read will occur if the next "whole" buffer won't fit. This is useful for watch queue notifications to make sure we don't split a notification across multiple reads, especially given that we need to fabricate an overrun record under some circumstances - and that isn't in the buffers.

pipe: Add general notification queue support
Make it possible to have a general notification queue built on top of a
standard pipe. Notifications are 'spliced' into the pipe and then read
out. splice(), vmsplice() and sendfile() are forbidden on pipes used for
notifications as post_one_notification() cannot take pipe->mutex. This
means that notifications could be posted in between individual pipe
buffers, making iov_iter_revert() difficult to effect.
The way the notification queue is used is:
(1) An application opens a pipe with a special flag and indicates the
number of messages it wishes to be able to queue at once (this can
only be set once):
pipe2(fds, O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE);
ioctl(fds[0], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, queue_depth);
(2) The application then uses poll() and read() as normal to extract data
from the pipe. read() will return multiple notifications if the
buffer is big enough, but it will not split a notification across
buffers - rather it will return a short read or EMSGSIZE.
Notification messages include a length in the header so that the
caller can split them up.
Each message has a header that describes it:
struct watch_notification {
__u32 type:24;
__u32 subtype:8;
__u32 info;
};
The type indicates the source (eg. mount tree changes, superblock events,
keyring changes, block layer events) and the subtype indicates the event
type (eg. mount, unmount; EIO, EDQUOT; link, unlink). The info field
indicates a number of things, including the entry length, an ID assigned to
a watchpoint contributing to this buffer and type-specific flags.
Supplementary data, such as the key ID that generated an event, can be
attached in additional slots. The maximum message size is 127 bytes.
Messages may not be padded or aligned, so there is no guarantee, for
example, that the notification type will be on a 4-byte bounary.
