18 years ago[PATCH] sysctl: allow a zero ctl_name in the middle of a sysctl table
Eric W. Biederman [Mon, 6 Nov 2006 07:52:12 +0000 (23:52 -0800)]
[PATCH] sysctl: allow a zero ctl_name in the middle of a sysctl table

Since it is becoming clear that there are just enough users of the binary
sysctl interface that completely removing the binary interface from the kernel
will not be an option for foreseeable future, we need to find a way to address
the sysctl maintenance issues.

The basic problem is that sysctl requires one central authority to allocate
sysctl numbers, or else conflicts and ABI breakage occur.  The proc interface
to sysctl does not have that problem, as names are not densely allocated.

By not terminating a sysctl table until I have neither a ctl_name nor a
procname, it becomes simple to add sysctl entries that don't show up in the
binary sysctl interface.  Which allows people to avoid allocating a binary
sysctl value when not needed.

I have audited the kernel code and in my reading I have not found a single
sysctl table that wasn't terminated by a completely zero filled entry.  So
this change in behavior should not affect anything.

I think this mechanism eases the pain enough that combined with a little
disciple we can solve the reoccurring sysctl ABI breakage.

[PATCH] Fix user.* xattr permission check for sticky dirs

[PATCH] Fix sys_move_pages when a NULL node list is passed

sys_move_pages() uses vmalloc() to allocate an array of structures that is
fills with information passed from user mode and then passes to
do_stat_pages() (in the case the node list is NULL).  do_stat_pages()
depends on a marker in the node field of the structure to decide how large
the array is and this marker is correctly inserted into the last element of
the array.  However, vmalloc() doesn't zero the memory it allocates and if
the user passes NULL for the node list, then the node fields are not filled
in (except for the end marker).  If the memory the vmalloc() returned
happend to have a word with the marker value in it in just the right place,
do_pages_stat will fail to fill the status field of part of the array and
we will return (random) kernel data to user mode.

18 years ago[PATCH] uml: fix I/O hang
Jeff Dike [Fri, 3 Nov 2006 06:07:22 +0000 (22:07 -0800)]
[PATCH] uml: fix I/O hang

Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened
- a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would
start up again as though nothing had happened.

The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be
executed in the order in the source.  When unblock_signals switches signals
from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the
critical section.  The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is
zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns.
unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be
delivered.

The crucial part is this:
signals_enabled = 1;
save_pending = pending;
if(save_pending == 0)
return;
pending = 0;

In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting
it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased,
signals are enabled.

What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending'
came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within
which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be
immediately erased.

When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device
interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will
wait for the current one to finish.  Thus the system hangs until something
else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input.

The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling
signals and reading the pending signal mask.  An xchg would also probably
work.

Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more
things:

- make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached
  in registers

- add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so
  that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the
  caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

[PATCH] fix UFS superblock alignment issues

ufs2 fails to mount on x86_64, claiming bad magic.  This is because
ufs_super_block_third's fs_un1 member is padded out by 4 bytes for 8-byte
alignment, pushing down the rest of the struct.

Forcing this to be packed solves it.  I took a quick look over other
on-disk structures and didn't immediately find other problems.  I was able
to mount & ls a populated ufs2 filesystem w/ this change.

[PATCH] Fix ipc entries removal

Fix two issuses related to ipc_ids->entries freeing.

1. When freeing ipc namespace we need to free entries allocated
   with ipc_init_ids().

2. When removing old entries in grow_ary() ipc_rcu_putref()
   may be called on entries set to &ids->nullentry earlier in
   ipc_init_ids().
   This is almost impossible without namespaces, but with
   them this situation becomes possible.

Found during OpenVZ testing after obvious leaks in beancounters.
