f1eb1332b8 ipc: use rlimit helpers
Make sure compiler won't do weird things with limits.  E.g.  fetching them
twice may return 2 different values after writable limits are implemented.

I.e.  either use rlimit helpers added in
3e10e716ab ("resource: add helpers for
fetching rlimits") or ACCESS_ONCE if not applicable.

ed5e5894b2 nommu: fix SYSV SHM for NOMMU
Commit c4caa77815 ("file
->get_unmapped_area() shouldn't duplicate work of get_unmapped_area()")
broke SYSV SHM for NOMMU by taking away the pointer to
shm_get_unmapped_area() from shm_file_operations.

Put it back conditionally on CONFIG_MMU=n.

file->f_ops->get_unmapped_area() is used to find out the base address for a
mapping of a mappable chardev device or mappable memory-based file (such as a
ramfs file).  It needs to be called prior to file->f_ops->mmap() being called.

There are 2 groups of alloc_file() callers:
	* ones that are followed by ima_counts_get
	* ones giving non-regular files
So let's pull that ima_counts_get() into alloc_file();
it's a no-op in case of non-regular files.

7d6feeb287 ipc ns: fix memory leak (idr)
We have apparently had a memory leak since
7ca7e564e0 "ipc: store ipcs into IDRs" in
2007.  The idr of which 3 exist for each ipc namespace is never freed.

This patch simply frees them when the ipcns is freed.  I don't believe any
idr_remove() are done from rcu (and could therefore be delayed until after
this idr_destroy()), so the patch should be safe.  Some quick testing
showed no harm, and the memory leak fixed.

Caught by kmemleak.

6bfde05bf5 hugetlbfs: allow the creation of files suitable for MAP_PRIVATE on the vfs internal mount
This patchset adds a flag to mmap that allows the user to request that an
anonymous mapping be backed with huge pages.  This mapping will borrow
functionality from the huge page shm code to create a file on the kernel
internal mount and use it to approximate an anonymous mapping.  The
MAP_HUGETLB flag is a modifier to MAP_ANONYMOUS and will not work without
both flags being preset.

A new flag is necessary because there is no other way to hook into huge
pages without creating a file on a hugetlbfs mount which wouldn't be
MAP_ANONYMOUS.

To userspace, this mapping will behave just like an anonymous mapping
because the file is not accessible outside of the kernel.

This patchset is meant to simplify the programming model.  Presently there
is a large chunk of boiler platecode, contained in libhugetlbfs, required
to create private, hugepage backed mappings.  This patch set would allow
use of hugepages without linking to libhugetlbfs or having hugetblfs
mounted.

Unification of the VM code would provide these same benefits, but it has
been resisted each time that it has been suggested for several reasons: it
would break PAGE_SIZE assumptions across the kernel, it makes page-table
abstractions really expensive, and it does not provide any benefit on
architectures that do not support huge pages, incurring fast path
penalties without providing any benefit on these architectures.

This patch:

There are two means of creating mappings backed by huge pages:

        1. mmap() a file created on hugetlbfs
        2. Use shm which creates a file on an internal mount which essentially
           maps it MAP_SHARED

The internal mount is only used for shared mappings but there is very
little that stops it being used for private mappings. This patch extends
hugetlbfs_file_setup() to deal with the creation of files that will be
mapped MAP_PRIVATE on the internal hugetlbfs mount. This extended API is
used in a subsequent patch to implement the MAP_HUGETLB mmap() flag.

user_shm_unlock call" broke the CONFIG_SYSVIPC !CONFIG_MMU build of both
2.6.31 and 2.6.30.6: "undefined reference to `user_shm_unlock'".

gcc didn't understand my comment! so couldn't figure out to optimize
away user_shm_unlock() from the error path in the hugetlb-less case, as
it does elsewhere.  Help it to do so, in a language it understands.

353d5c30c6 mm: fix hugetlb bug due to user_shm_unlock call
2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec194 removed
user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the
user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy().

In detail:
Assume that can_do_hugetlb_shm() returns true and hence user_shm_lock()
is not called in hugetlb_file_setup(). However, user_shm_unlock() is
called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following
atomic_dec_and_lock(&up->__count) in free_uid() is executed and if
up->__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled.

Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set.
However, the ref counter up->__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and
the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live
references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of
shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set.

Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the
time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time
of hugetlb_file_setup().  And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path,
which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.

  I still think you're doing this at the wrong level, but recognize

5a6fe12595 Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNT
When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous
shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that
should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve
with VM_NORESERVE.

Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages
due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and
private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated
during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the
future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed.

As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page
size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would
double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may
be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs
at the risk of getting killed later.

With commit fc8744adc8, VM_NORESERVE and
VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This
breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an
OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters
otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the
core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

1df9f0a731 Integrity: IMA file free imbalance
The number of calls to ima_path_check()/ima_file_free()
should be balanced.  An extra call to fput(), indicates
the file could have been accessed without first being
measured.

Although f_count is incremented/decremented in places other
than fget/fput, like fget_light/fput_light and get_file, the
current task must already hold a file refcnt.  The call to
__fput() is delayed until the refcnt becomes 0, resulting
in ima_file_free() flagging any changes.

- add hook to increment opencount for IPC shared memory(SYSV),
  shmat files, and /dev/zero
- moved NULL iint test in opencount_get()

a68e61e8ff shm: fix shmctl(SHM_INFO) lockup with !CONFIG_SHMEM
shm_get_stat() assumes that the inode is a "struct shmem_inode_info",
which is incorrect for !CONFIG_SHMEM (see fs/ramfs/inode.c:
ramfs_get_inode() vs.  mm/shmem.c: shmem_get_inode()).

This bad assumption can cause shmctl(SHM_INFO) to lockup when
shm_get_stat() tries to spin_lock(&info->lock).  Users of !CONFIG_SHMEM
may encounter this lockup simply by invoking the 'ipcs' command.

fc8744adc8 Stop playing silly games with the VM_ACCOUNT flag
The mmap_region() code would temporarily set the VM_ACCOUNT flag for
anonymous shared mappings just to inform shmem_zero_setup() that it
should enable accounting for the resulting shm object.  It would then
clear the flag after calling ->mmap (for the /dev/zero case) or doing
shmem_zero_setup() (for the MAP_ANON case).

This just resulted in vma merge issues, but also made for just
unnecessary confusion.  Use the already-existing VM_NORESERVE flag for
this instead, and let shmem_{zero|file}_setup() just figure it out from
that.

This also happens to make it obvious that the new DRI2 GEM layer uses a
non-reserving backing store for its object allocation - which is quite
possibly not intentional.  But since I didn't want to change semantics
in this patch, I left it alone, and just updated the caller to use the
new flag semantics.

8feae13110 NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linux
Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux.  This solves two problems:

 (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
     shmat's (and forks) done.

 (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
     exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
     that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
     process or a dead process.

A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.

This patch makes the following additional changes:

 (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
     with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite.  Instead,
     each page has a reference on it held by the region.  Anything else that is
     interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
     When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
     put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.

 (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
     made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.

 (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists.  As an MM may
     end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
     appended to the sort key.

 (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.

 (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
     the backing region.  The VMA and region structs will be split if
     necessary.

 (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
     segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss.  Multiple
     shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
     virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.

 (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.

 (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
     that aren't actually mapped anywhere.

 (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
     of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
     mapped directly.  These are copies of the backing device or file if not
     anonymous.

These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode.  The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

89e004ea55 SHM_LOCKED pages are unevictable
Shmem segments locked into memory via shmctl(SHM_LOCKED) should not be
kept on the normal LRU, since scanning them is a waste of time and might
throw off kswapd's balancing algorithms.  Place them on the unevictable
LRU list instead.

Use the AS_UNEVICTABLE flag to mark address_space of SHM_LOCKed shared
memory regions as unevictable.  Then these pages will be culled off the
normal LRU lists during vmscan.

Add new wrapper function to clear the mapping's unevictable state when/if
shared memory segment is munlocked.

Add 'scan_mapping_unevictable_page()' to mm/vmscan.c to scan all pages in
the shmem segment's mapping [struct address_space] for evictability now
that they're no longer locked.  If so, move them to the appropriate zone
lru list.

Changes depend on [CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.

a551643895 hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size
The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes.  This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg.  huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).

The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.

This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.

Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

6c826818ff /proc/sysvipc/shm: fix 32-bit truncation of segment sizes
sysvipc_shm_proc_show() picks between format strings (based on the
expected maximum length of a SHM segment) in a way that prevents gcc from
performing format checks on the seq_printf() parameters.  This hid two
format errors - shp->shm_segsz and shp->shm_nattach are both unsigned
long, but were being printed as unsigned int and signed int respectively.
This leads to 32-bit truncation of SHM segment sizes reported in
/proc/sysvipc/shm.  (And for nattach, but that's less of a problem for
most users).

This patch makes the format string directly visible to gcc's format
specifier checker, and fixes the two broken format specifiers.

a5f75e7f25 IPC: consolidate all xxxctl_down() functions
semctl_down(), msgctl_down() and shmctl_down() are used to handle the same set
of commands for each kind of IPC.  They all start to do the same job (they
retrieve the ipc and do some permission checks) before handling the commands
on their own.

This patch proposes to consolidate this by moving these same pieces of code
into one common function called ipcctl_pre_down().

It simplifies a little these xxxctl_down() functions and increases a little
the maintainability.

This patch introduces the shmctl_down function to handle all the commands
requiring the rwmutex to be taken in write mode (ie IPC_SET and IPC_RMID for

This removes some duplicated code for handling these both commands and

52cd3b0740 mempolicy: rework mempolicy Reference Counting [yet again]
After further discussion with Christoph Lameter, it has become clear that my
earlier attempts to clean up the mempolicy reference counting were a bit of
overkill in some areas, resulting in superflous ref/unref in what are usually
fast paths.  In other areas, further inspection reveals that I botched the
unref for interleave policies.

A separate patch, suitable for upstream/stable trees, fixes up the known
errors in the previous attempt to fix reference counting.

This patch reworks the memory policy referencing counting and, one hopes,
simplifies the code.  Maybe I'll get it right this time.

See the update to the numa_memory_policy.txt document for a discussion of
memory policy reference counting that motivates this patch.

Summary:

Lookup of mempolicy, based on (vma, address) need only add a reference for
shared policy, and we need only unref the policy when finished for shared
policies.  So, this patch backs out all of the unneeded extra reference
counting added by my previous attempt.  It then unrefs only shared policies
when we're finished with them, using the mpol_cond_put() [conditional put]
helper function introduced by this patch.

Note that shmem_swapin() calls read_swap_cache_async() with a dummy vma
containing just the policy.  read_swap_cache_async() can call alloc_page_vma()
multiple times, so we can't let alloc_page_vma() unref the shared policy in
this case.  To avoid this, we make a copy of any non-null shared policy and
remove the MPOL_F_SHARED flag from the copy.  This copy occurs before reading
a page [or multiple pages] from swap, so the overhead should not be an issue
here.

I introduced a new static inline function "mpol_cond_copy()" to copy the
shared policy to an on-stack policy and remove the flags that would require a
conditional free.  The current implementation of mpol_cond_copy() assumes that
the struct mempolicy contains no pointers to dynamically allocated structures
that must be duplicated or reference counted during copy.

ae4d8c16aa mempolicy: fixup Fallback for Default Shmem Policy
get_vma_policy() is not handling fallback to task policy correctly when the
get_policy() vm_op returns NULL.  The NULL overwrites the 'pol' variable that
was holding the fallback task mempolicy.  So, it was falling back directly to
system default policy.

Fix get_vma_policy() to use only non-NULL policy returned from the vma
get_policy op.

shm_get_policy() was falling back to current task's mempolicy if the "backing
file system" [tmpfs vs hugetlbfs] does not support the get_policy vm_op and
the vma policy is null.  This is incorrect for show_numa_maps() which is
likely querying the numa_maps of some task other than current.  Remove this
fallback.

69682d852f mempolicy: fix reference counting bugs
Address 3 known bugs in the current memory policy reference counting method.
I have a series of patches to rework the reference counting to reduce overhead
in the allocation path.  However, that series will require testing in -mm once
I repost it.

1) alloc_page_vma() does not release the extra reference taken for
   vma/shared mempolicy when the mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE.  This can result in
   leaking mempolicy structures.  This is probably occurring, but not being
   noticed.

   Fix:  add the conditional release of the reference.

2) hugezonelist unconditionally releases a reference on the mempolicy when
   mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE.  This can result in decrementing the reference
   count for system default policy [should have no ill effect] or premature
   freeing of task policy.  If this occurred, the next allocation using task
   mempolicy would use the freed structure and probably BUG out.

   Fix:  add the necessary check to the release.

3) The current reference counting method assumes that vma 'get_policy()'
   methods automatically add an extra reference a non-NULL returned mempolicy.
    This is true for shmem_get_policy() used by tmpfs mappings, including
   regular page shm segments.  However, SHM_HUGETLB shm's, backed by
   hugetlbfs, just use the vma policy without the extra reference.  This
   results in freeing of the vma policy on the first allocation, with reuse of
   the freed mempolicy structure on subsequent allocations.

   Fix: Rather than add another condition to the conditional reference
   release, which occur in the allocation path, just add a reference when
   returning the vma policy in shm_get_policy() to match the assumptions.

01b8b07a5d IPC: consolidate sem_exit_ns(), msg_exit_ns() and shm_exit_ns()
sem_exit_ns(), msg_exit_ns() and shm_exit_ns() are all called when an
ipc_namespace is released to free all ipcs of each type.  But in fact, they
do the same thing: they loop around all ipcs to free them individually by
calling a specific routine.

This patch proposes to consolidate this by introducing a common function,
free_ipcs(), that do the job.  The specific routine to call on each
individual ipcs is passed as parameter.  For this, these ipc-specific
'free' routines are reworked to take a generic 'struct ipc_perm' as
parameter.

ed2ddbf88c IPC: make struct ipc_ids static in ipc_namespace
Each ipc_namespace contains a table of 3 pointers to struct ipc_ids (3 for
msg, sem and shm, structure used to store all ipcs) These 'struct ipc_ids'
are dynamically allocated for each icp_namespace as the ipc_namespace
itself (for the init namespace, they are initialized with pointers to
static variables instead)

It is so for historical reason: in fact, before the use of idr to store the
ipcs, the ipcs were stored in tables of variable length, depending of the
maximum number of ipc allowed.  Now, these 'struct ipc_ids' have a fixed
size.  As they are allocated in any cases for each new ipc_namespace, there
is no gain of memory in having them allocated separately of the struct
ipc_namespace.

This patch proposes to make this table static in the struct ipc_namespace.
Thus, we can allocate all in once and get rid of all the code needed to
allocate and free these ipc_ids separately.

ae5e1b22f1 namespaces: move the IPC namespace under IPC_NS option
Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files.
I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed.

The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the
functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case.  This is done
so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the
CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h.  But the linux/ipc.h file itself in
included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the
sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that
good.  On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required
in 4 .c files only.

Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c,
msg.c and shm.c files.  It turned out that moving these functions into
namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros
from the original file.  Moving them would make this patch complicated.  On
the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a
separate patch doing this a bit later.

b1ed88b47f IPC: fix error check in all new xxx_lock() and xxx_exit_ns() functions
In the new implementation of the [sem|shm|msg]_lock[_check]() routines, we
use the return value of ipc_lock() in container_of() without any check.
But ipc_lock may return a errcode.  The use of this errcode in
container_of() may alter this errcode, and we don't want this.

And in xxx_exit_ns, the pointer return by idr_find is of type 'struct
kern_ipc_per'...

Today, the code will work as is because the member used in these
container_of() is the first member of its container (offset == 0), the
errcode isn't changed then.  But in the general case, we can't count on
this assumption and this may lead later to a real bug if we don't correct
this.

Again, the proposed solution is simple and correct.  But, as pointed by
Nadia, with this solution, the same check will be done several times (in
all sub-callers...), what is not very funny/optimal...

This is a patch that fixes the way idr_find() used to be called in ipc_lock():
in all the paths that don't imply an update of the ipcs idr, it was called
without the idr tree being locked.

The changes are:
  . in ipc_ids, the mutex has been changed into a reader/writer semaphore.
  . ipc_lock() now takes the mutex as a reader during the idr_find().
  . a new routine ipc_lock_down() has been defined: it doesn't take the
    mutex, assuming that it is being held by the caller. This is the routine
    that is now called in all the update paths.
