* pids: clean up find_task_by_pid variantsChristoph Hellwig2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | find_task_by_pid_type_ns is only used to implement find_task_by_vpid and find_task_by_pid_ns, but both of them pass PIDTYPE_PID as first argument. So just fold find_task_by_pid_type_ns into find_task_by_pid_ns and use find_task_by_pid_ns to implement find_task_by_vpid. While we're at it also remove the exports for find_task_by_pid_ns and find_task_by_vpid - we don't have any modular callers left as the only modular caller of he old pre pid namespace find_task_by_pid (gfs2) was switched to pid_task which operates on a struct pid pointer instead of a pid_t. Given the confusion about pid_t values vs namespace that's generally the better option anyway and I think we're better of restricting modules to do it that way.

* pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safeOleg Nesterov2009-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Inho, the safety rules for vnr/nr_ns helpers are horrible and buggy. task_pid_nr_ns(task) needs rcu/tasklist depending on task == current. As for "special" pids, vnr/nr_ns helpers always need rcu. However, if task != current, they are unsafe even under rcu lock, we can't trust task->group_leader without the special checks. And almost every helper has a callsite which needs a fix. Also, it is a bit annoying that the implementations of, say, task_pgrp_vnr() and task_pgrp_nr_ns() are not "symmetrical". This patch introduces the new helper, __task_pid_nr_ns(), which is always safe to use, and turns all other helpers into the trivial wrappers. After this I'll send another patch which converts task_tgid_xxx() as well, they're are a bit special.

* pids: improve get_task_pid() to fix the unsafe sys_wait4()->task_pgrp()Oleg Nesterov2009-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sys_wait4() does get_pid(task_pgrp(current)), this is not safe. We can add rcu lock/unlock around, but we already have get_task_pid() which can be improved to handle the special pids in more reliable manner.

* pid: generalize task_active_pid_nsEric W. Biederman2009-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently task_active_pid_ns is not safe to call after a task becomes a zombie and exit_task_namespaces is called, as nsproxy becomes NULL. By reading the pid namespace from the pid of the task we can trivially solve this problem at the cost of one extra memory read in what should be the same cacheline as we read the namespace from. When moving things around I have made task_active_pid_ns out of line because keeping it in pid_namespace.h would require adding includes of pid.h and sched.h that I don't think we want. This change does make task_active_pid_ns unsafe to call during copy_process until we attach a pid on the task_struct which seems to be a reasonable trade off. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.hFranck Bui-Huu2008-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h. This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this list.h without creating some circular dependencies. For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference() without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but aren't probably because of this. Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to many changes/troubles.

* pids: introduce change_pid() helperOleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea. Without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp() can return NULL if the caller races with setprgp()/setsid() which does detach_pid() + attach_pid(). This can happen even if task == current. Intoduce the new helper, change_pid(), which should be used instead. This way the caller always sees the special pid != NULL, either old or new. Also change the prototype of attach_pid(), it always returns 0 and nobody check the returned value. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.

* pids: de_thread: don't clear session/pgrp pids for the old leaderOleg Nesterov2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea. Unless task == current, without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp() can return NULL if the caller races with de_thread() which switches the group leader. Change transfer_pid() to not clear old->pids[type].pid for the old leader. This means that its .pid can point to "nowhere", but this is already true for sub-threads, and the old leader is not group_leader() any longer. IOW, with or without this change we can't trust task's special pids unless it is the group leader. With this change the following code rcu_read_lock(); task = find_task_by_xxx(); do_something(task_pgrp(task), task_session(task)); rcu_read_unlock(); can't race with exec and hit the NULL pid.

* pid: Extend/Fix pid_vnrEric W. Biederman2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pid_vnr returns the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace the struct pid was allocated in. What we want before we return a pid to user space is the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace of current. pid_vnr is a very nice optimization but because it isn't quite what we want it is easy to use pid_vnr at times when we aren't certain the struct pid was allocated in our pid namespace. Currently this describes at least tiocgpgrp and tiocgsid in ttyio.c the parent process reported in the core dumps and the parent process in get_signal_to_deliver. So unless the performance impact is huge having an interface that does what we want instead of always what we want should be much more reliable and much less error prone. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is my trivial patch to swat innumerable little bugs with a single blow. After some intensive review (my apologies for not having gotten to this sooner) what we have looks like a good base to build on with the current pid namespace code but it is not complete, and it is still much to simple to find issues where the kernel does the wrong thing outside of the initial pid namespace. Until the dust settles and we are certain we have the ABI and the implementation is as correct as humanly possible let's keep process ID namespaces behind CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL. Allowing us the option of fixing any ABI or other bugs we find as long as they are minor. Allowing users of the kernel to avoid those bugs simply by ensuring their kernel does not have support for multiple pid namespaces.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When clone() is invoked with CLONE_NEWPID, create a new pid namespace and then create a new struct pid for the new process. Allocate pid_t's for the new process in the new pid namespace and all ancestor pid namespaces. Make the newly cloned process the session and process group leader. Since the active pid namespace is special and expected to be the first entry in pid->upid_list, preserve the order of pid namespaces. The size of 'struct pid' is dependent on the the number of pid namespaces the process exists in, so we use multiple pid-caches'. Only one pid cache is created during system startup and this used by processes that exist only in init_pid_ns. When a process clones its pid namespace, we create additional pid caches as necessary and use the pid cache to allocate 'struct pids' for that depth. Note, that with this patch the newly created namespace won't work, since the rest of the kernel still uses global pids, but this is to be fixed soon. Init pid namespace still works.

* pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

* pid namespaces: define and use task_active_pid_ns() wrapperSukadev Bhattiprolu2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With multiple pid namespaces, a process is known by some pid_t in every ancestor pid namespace. Every time the process forks, the child process also gets a pid_t in every ancestor pid namespace. While a process is visible in >=1 pid namespaces, it can see pid_t's in only one pid namespace. We call this pid namespace it's "active pid namespace", and it is always the youngest pid namespace in which the process is known. This patch defines and uses a wrapper to find the active pid namespace of a process. The implementation of the wrapper will be changed in when support for multiple pid namespaces are added. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - [Pavel Emelianov, Alexey Dobriyan] Back out the change to use task_active_pid_ns() in child_reaper() since task->nsproxy can be NULL during task exit (so child_reaper() continues to use init_pid_ns). to implement child_reaper() since init_pid_ns.child_reaper to implement child_reaper() since tsk->nsproxy can be NULL during exit. 2.6.21-rc6-mm1: - Rename task_pid_ns() to task_active_pid_ns() to reflect that a process can have multiple pid namespaces.

* pid namespaces: dynamic kmem cache allocator for pid namespacesPavel Emelianov2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add kmem_cache to pid_namespace to allocate pids from. Since both implementations expand the struct pid to carry more numerical values each namespace should have separate cache to store pids of different sizes. Each kmem cache is name "pid_<NR>", where <NR> is the number of numerical ids on the pid. Different namespaces with same level of nesting will have same caches. This patch has two FIXMEs that are to be fixed after we reach the consensus about the struct pid itself. The first one is that the namespace to free the pid from in free_pid() must be taken from pid. Now the init_pid_ns is used. The second FIXME is about the cache allocation. When we do know how long the object will be then we'll have to calculate this size in create_pid_cachep. Right now the sizeof(struct pid) value is used.

* namespace: ensure clone_flags are always stored in an unsigned longEric W. Biederman2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While working on unshare support for the network namespace I noticed we were putting clone flags in an int. Which is weird because the syscall uses unsigned long and we at least need an unsigned to properly hold all of the unshare flags.

This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone handling (as much as possible). Posted on container list earlier for feedback. - Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to caller to attach it to right process. - Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy. - Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines. - Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON() just incase. - Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of copy_*_ns() instead.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides a new macro KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>) to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct. Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary. Example struct test_slab { int a,b,c; struct list_head; } __cacheline_aligned_in_smp; test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC) will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab.
