Nadia Derbey [Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:00:39 +0000 (01:00 -0700)]
ipc: scale msgmni to the amount of lowmem

On large systems we'd like to allow a larger number of message queues.  In
some cases up to 32K.  However simply setting MSGMNI to a larger value may
cause problems for smaller systems.

The first patch of this series introduces a default maximum number of message
queue ids that scales with the amount of lowmem.

Since msgmni is per namespace and there is no amount of memory dedicated to
each namespace so far, the second patch of this series scales msgmni to the
number of ipc namespaces too.

Since msgmni depends on the amount of memory, it becomes necessary to
recompute it upon memory add/remove.  In the 4th patch, memory hotplug
management is added: a notifier block is registered into the memory hotplug
notifier chain for the ipc subsystem.  Since the ipc namespaces are not linked
together, they have their own notification chain: one notifier_block is
defined per ipc namespace.  Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it
registers (unregisters) its notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain.  The
callback routine registered in the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier
chain with the IPCNS_MEMCHANGE event.  Each callback routine registered in the
ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes msgmni for the owning namespace.

The 5th patch makes it possible to keep the memory hotplug notifier chain's
lock for a lesser amount of time: instead of directly notifying the ipcns
notifier chain upon memory add/remove, a work item is added to the global
workqueue.  When activated, this work item is the one who notifies the ipcns
notifier chain.

Since msgmni depends on the number of ipc namespaces, it becomes necessary to
recompute it upon ipc namespace creation / removal.  The 6th patch uses the
ipc namespace notifier chain for that purpose: that chain is notified each
time an ipc namespace is created or removed.  This makes it possible to
recompute msgmni for all the namespaces each time one of them is created or
removed.

When msgmni is explicitely set from userspace, we should avoid recomputing it
upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal.  This is what the 7th patch
does: it simply unregisters the ipcns callback routine as soon as msgmni has
been changed from procfs or sysctl().

Even if msgmni is set by hand, it should be possible to make it back
automatically recomputed upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal.
This what is achieved in patch 8: if set to a negative value, msgmni is added
back to the ipcns notifier chain, making it automatically recomputed again.

This patch:

Compute msg_ctlmni to make it scale with the amount of lowmem.  msg_ctlmni is
now set to make the message queues occupy 1/32 of the available lowmem.

Some cleaning has also been done for the MSGPOOL constant: the msgctl man page
says it's not used, but it also defines it as a size in bytes (the code
expresses it in Kbytes).

Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.

This approach was suggested by Paul Menage.  The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined.  It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.

A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.

This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes.  The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.

I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.

This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.

After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by

redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

16 years agocgroups: implement device whitelist
Serge E. Hallyn [Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:00:10 +0000 (01:00 -0700)]
cgroups: implement device whitelist

Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions on device
files.  A device cgroup associates a device access whitelist with each cgroup.
 A whitelist entry has 4 fields.  'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block).
'all' means it applies to all types and all major and minor numbers.  Major
and minor are either an integer or * for all.  Access is a composition of r
(read), w (write), and m (mknod).

The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'.  A child devcg gets a copy of
the parent.  Admins can then remove devices from the whitelist or add new
entries.  A child cgroup can never receive a device access which is denied its
parent.  However when a device access is removed from a parent it will not
also be removed from the child(ren).

An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using
devices.deny.  For instance

echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow

allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as
/dev/null.  Doing

echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny

will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry.

CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to change permissions or move another task to a new
cgroup.  A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's parent
has.  Any task can move itself between cgroups.  This won't be sufficient, but
we can decide the best way to adequately restrict movement later.

more heavyweight than a device handle.

In addition, the netlink interface to eCryptfs has been broken since 2.6.24.
I am assuming this is a bug in how eCryptfs uses netlink, since the other
in-kernel users of netlink do not seem to be having any problems.  I have had
one report of a user successfully using eCryptfs with netlink on 2.6.24, but
for my own systems, when starting the userspace daemon, the initial helo
message sent to the eCryptfs kernel module results in an oops right off the
bat.  I spent some time looking at it, but I have not yet found the cause.
The netlink interface breaking gave me the motivation to just finish my patch
to migrate to a regular device handle.  If I cannot find out soon why the
netlink interface in eCryptfs broke, I am likely to just send a patch to
disable it in 2.6.24 and 2.6.25.  I would like the device handle to be the
preferred means of communicating with the userspace daemon from 2.6.26 on
forward.

This patch:

Functions to facilitate reading and writing to the eCryptfs miscellaneous
device handle.  This will replace the netlink interface as the preferred
mechanism for communicating with the userspace eCryptfs daemon.

Each user has his own daemon, which registers itself by opening the eCryptfs
device handle.  Only one daemon per euid may be registered at any given time.
The eCryptfs module sends a message to a daemon by adding its message to the
daemon's outgoing message queue.  The daemon reads the device handle to get
the oldest message off the queue.

Incoming messages from the userspace daemon are immediately handled.  If the
message is a response, then the corresponding process that is blocked waiting
for the response is awakened.

kernel: explicitly include required header files under kernel/

Following an experimental deletion of the unnecessary directive

 #include <linux/slab.h>

from the header file <linux/percpu.h>, these files under kernel/ were exposed
as needing to include one of <linux/slab.h> or <linux/gfp.h>, so explicit

binfmt_misc.c: avoid potential kernel stack overflow

This can be triggered with root help only, but...

Register the ":text:E::txt::/root/cat.txt:' rule in binfmt_misc (by root) and
try launching the cat.txt file (by anyone) :) The result is - the endless
recursion in the load_misc_binary -> open_exec -> load_misc_binary chain and
stack overflow.

There's a similar problem with binfmt_script, and there's a sh_bang memner on
linux_binprm structure to handle this, but simply raising this in binfmt_misc
may break some setups when the interpreter of some misc binaries is a script.

So the proposal is to turn sh_bang into a bit, add a new one (the misc_bang)
and raise it in load_misc_binary.  After this, even if we set up the misc ->
script -> misc loop for binfmts one of them will step on its own bang and
exit.
