* epoll keyed wakeups: teach epoll about hints coming with the wakeup keyDavide Libenzi2009-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the events hint now sent by some devices, to avoid unnecessary wakeups for events that are of no interest for the caller. This code handles both devices that are sending keyed events, and the ones that are not (and event the ones that sometimes send events, and sometimes don't).

* epoll: clean up ep_modifyTony Battersby2009-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ep_modify() doesn't need to set event.data from within the ep->lock spinlock as the comment suggests. The only place event.data is used is ep_send_events_proc(), and this is protected by ep->mtx instead of ep->lock. Also update the comment for mutex_lock() at the top of ep_scan_ready_list(), which mentions epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) but not epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_MOD). ep_modify() can also use spin_lock_irq() instead of spin_lock_irqsave().

* epoll: remove unnecessary xchgTony Battersby2009-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xchg in ep_unregister_pollwait() is unnecessary because it is protected by either epmutex or ep->mtx (the same protection as ep_remove()). If xchg was necessary, it would be insufficient to protect against problems: if multiple concurrent calls to ep_unregister_pollwait() were possible then a second caller that returns without doing anything because nwait == 0 could return before the waitqueues are removed by the first caller, which looks like it could lead to problematic races with ep_poll_callback(). So remove xchg and add comments about the locking.

* epoll: remember the event if epoll_wait returns -EFAULTTony Battersby2009-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If epoll_wait returns -EFAULT, the event that was being returned when the fault was encountered will be forgotten. This is not a big deal since EFAULT will happen only if a buggy userspace program passes in a bad address, in which case what happens later usually doesn't matter. However, it is easy to remember the event for later, and this patch makes a simple change to do that.

* epoll: don't use current in irq contextTony Battersby2009-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | ep_call_nested() (formerly ep_poll_safewake()) uses "current" (without dereferencing it) to detect callback recursion, but it may be called from irq context where the use of current is generally discouraged. It would be better to use get_cpu() and put_cpu() to detect the callback recursion.

The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

* epoll: drop max_user_instances and rely only on max_user_watchesDavide Libenzi2009-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linus suggested to put limits where the money is, and max_user_watches already does that w/out the need of max_user_instances. That has the advantage to mitigate the potential DoS while allowing pretty generous default behavior. Allowing top 4% of low memory (per user) to be allocated in epoll watches, we have: LOMEM MAX_WATCHES (per user) 512MB ~178000 1GB ~356000 2GB ~712000 A box with 512MB of lomem, will meet some challenge in hitting 180K watches, socket buffers math teaches us. No more max_user_instances limits then.

* epoll: introduce resource usage limitsDavide Libenzi2008-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

* epoll: avoid double-inserts in case of EFAULTDavide Libenzi2008-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit f337b9c58332bdecde965b436e47ea4c94d30da0 ("epoll: drop unnecessary test") Thomas found that there is an unnecessary (always true) test in ep_send_events(). The callback never inserts into ->rdllink while the send loop is performed, and also does the ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS test. Given we're holding the mutex during this time, the conditions tested inside the loop are always true. HOWEVER. The test "!ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)" wasn't there because we insert into ->rdllink, but because the send-events loop might terminate before the whole list is scanned (-EFAULT). In such cases, when the loop terminates early, and when a (leftover) file received an event while we're performing the lockless loop, we need such test to avoid to double insert the epoll items. The list_splice() done a few steps below, will correctly re-insert the ones that were left on "txlist". This should fix the kenrel.org bugzilla entry 11831.

* epoll: avoid kmemcheck warningDavide Libenzi2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Epoll calls rb_set_parent(n, n) to initialize the rb-tree node, but rb_set_parent() accesses node's pointer in its code. This creates a warning in kmemcheck (reported by Vegard Nossum) about an uninitialized memory access. The warning is harmless since the following rb-tree node insert is going to overwrite the node data. In any case I think it's better to not have that happening at all, and fix it by simplifying the code to get rid of a few lines that became superfluous after the previous epoll changes.

Looking at the code again, I noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this (together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace (in a single pass). This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code. It spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many threads. Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems. http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit possible problems with the new code. Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark: http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c [1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()): 1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait 2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get (splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will not re-queue it if it sees it already linked: if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)) goto is_linked; Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(), coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten. Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait(). 5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next, it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink) that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point we're already past it.

* [PATCH] epoll_pwait()Davide Libenzi2006-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait is: int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents, int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize); The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event, or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system call will act exactly like epoll_wait.

* [PATCH] epoll: use unlocked wqueue operationsDavide Libenzi2006-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A few days ago Arjan signaled a lockdep red flag on epoll locks, and precisely between the epoll's device structure lock (->lock) and the wait queue head lock (->lock). Like I explained in another email, and directly to Arjan, this can't happen in reality because of the explicit check at eventpoll.c:592, that does not allow to drop an epoll fd inside the same epoll fd. Since lockdep is working on per-structure locks, it will never be able to know of policies enforced in other parts of the code. It was decided time ago of having the ability to drop epoll fds inside other epoll fds, that triggers a very trick wakeup operations (due to possibly reentrant callback-driven wakeups) handled by the ep_poll_safewake() function. While looking again at the code though, I noticed that all the operations done on the epoll's main structure wait queue head (->wq) are already protected by the epoll lock (->lock), so that locked-style functions can be used to manipulate the ->wq member. This makes both a lock-acquire save, and lockdep happy.

* [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mountDavid Howells2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.
