This ensures that do_mmap() won't implicitly make AIO memory mappings
executable if the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag is set. Such
behavior is problematic because the security_mmap_file LSM hook doesn't
catch this case, potentially permitting an attacker to bypass a W^X
policy enforced by SELinux.
I have tested the patch on my machine.
To test the behavior, compile and run this:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/personality.h>
#include <linux/aio_abi.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
int main(void) {
personality(READ_IMPLIES_EXEC);
aio_context_t ctx = 0;
if (syscall(__NR_io_setup, 1, &ctx))
err(1, "io_setup");
char cmd[1000];
sprintf(cmd, "cat /proc/%d/maps | grep -F '/[aio]'",
(int)getpid());
system(cmd);
return 0;
}
In the output, "rw-s" is good, "rwxs" is bad.

aio_setup_ring waits for mmap_sem in writable mode. If the waiting task
gets killed by the oom killer it would block oom_reaper from
asynchronous address space reclaim and reduce the chances of timely OOM
resolving. Wait for the lock in the killable mode and return with EINTR
if the task got killed while waiting. This will also expedite the
return to the userspace and do_exit.

exit_aio() currently serializes killing io contexts. Each context
killing ends up having to do percpu_ref_kill(), which in turns has
to wait for an RCU grace period. This can take a long time, depending

when we could be waiting for all of them in one fell swoop.

We check if ->ki_pos is positive. However, by that point we have
already done rw_verify_area(), which would have rejected such
unless the file had been one of /dev/mem, /dev/kmem and /proc/kcore.
All of which do not have vectored rw methods, so we would've bailed
out even earlier.
This check had been introduced before rw_verify_area() had been added there
- in fact, it was a subset of checks done on sync paths by rw_verify_area()
(back then the /dev/mem exception didn't exist at all). The rest of checks
(mandatory locking, etc.) hadn't been added until later. Unfortunately,
by the time the call of rw_verify_area() got added, the /dev/mem exception
had already appeared, so it wasn't obvious that the older explicit check
downstream had become dead code. It *is* a dead code, though, since the few
files for which the exception applies do not have ->aio_{read,write}() or
->{read,write}_iter() and for them we won't reach that check anyway.
What's more, even if we ever introduce vectored methods for /dev/mem
and friends, they'll have to cope with negative positions anyway, since
readv(2) and writev(2) are using the same checks as read(2) and write(2) -
i.e. rw_verify_area().
Let's bury it.

Most callers in the kernel want to perform synchronous file I/O, but
still have to bloat the stack with a full struct kiocb. Split out
the parts needed in filesystem code from those in the aio code, and
only allocate those needed to pass down argument on the stack. The
aio code embedds the generic iocb in the one it allocates and can
easily get back to it by using container_of.
Also add a ->ki_complete method to struct kiocb, this is used to call
into the aio code and thus removes the dependency on aio for filesystems
impementing asynchronous operations. It will also allow other callers
to substitute their own completion callback.
We also add a new ->ki_flags field to work around the nasty layering
violation recently introduced in commit 5e33f6 ("usb: gadget: ffs: add

to it's original purpose.
Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't

There are actually two issues this patch addresses. Let me start with
the one I tried to solve in the beginning.
So, in the checkpoint-restore project (criu) we try to dump tasks'
state and restore one back exactly as it was. One of the tasks' state
bits is rings set up with io_setup() call. There's (almost) no problems
in dumping them, there's a problem restoring them -- if I dump a task
with aio ring originally mapped at address A, I want to restore one
back at exactly the same address A. Unfortunately, the io_setup() does
not allow for that -- it mmaps the ring at whatever place mm finds
appropriate (it calls do_mmap_pgoff() with zero address and without
the MAP_FIXED flag).
To make restore possible I'm going to mremap() the freshly created ring
into the address A (under which it was seen before dump). The problem is
that the ring's virtual address is passed back to the user-space as the
context ID and this ID is then used as search key by all the other io_foo()
calls. Reworking this ID to be just some integer doesn't seem to work, as
this value is already used by libaio as a pointer using which this library
accesses memory for aio meta-data.
So, to make restore work we need to make sure that
a) ring is mapped at desired virtual address
b) kioctx->user_id matches this value
Having said that, the patch makes mremap() on aio region update the
kioctx's user_id and mmap_base values.
Here appears the 2nd issue I mentioned in the beginning of this mail.
If (regardless of the C/R dances I do) someone creates an io context
with io_setup(), then mremap()-s the ring and then destroys the context,
the kill_ioctx() routine will call munmap() on wrong (old) address.
This will result in a) aio ring remaining in memory and b) some other
vma get unexpectedly unmapped.
What do you think?

aio: fix uncorrent dirty pages accouting when truncating AIO ring buffer
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86831
Markus reported that when shutting down mysqld (with AIO support,
on a ext3 formatted Harddrive) leads to a negative number of dirty pages
(underrun to the counter). The negative number results in a drastic reduction
of the write performance because the page cache is not used, because the kernel
thinks it is still 2 ^ 32 dirty pages open.

The cause is that we set the aio ring file pages as *DIRTY* via SetPageDirty
(bypasses the VFS dirty pages increment) when init, and aio fs uses
*default_backing_dev_info* as the backing dev, which does not disable
the dirty pages accounting capability.
So truncating aio ring file will contribute to accounting dirty pages (VFS
dirty pages decrement), then error occurs.
The original goal is keeping these pages in memory (can not be reclaimed
or swapped) in life-time via marking it dirty. But thinking more, we have
already pinned pages via elevating the page's refcount, which can already
achieve the goal, so the SetPageDirty seems unnecessary.
In order to fix the issue, using the __set_page_dirty_no_writeback instead
of the nop .set_page_dirty, and dropped the SetPageDirty (don't manually
set the dirty flags, don't disable set_page_dirty(), rely on default behaviour).
With the above change, the dirty pages accounting can work well. But as we
known, aio fs is an anonymous one, which should never cause any real write-back,
we can ignore the dirty pages (write back) accounting by disabling the dirty
pages (write back) accounting capability. So we introduce an aio private
backing dev info (disabled the ACCT_DIRTY/WRITEBACK/ACCT_WB capabilities) to
replace the default one.

With the recent addition of percpu_ref_reinit(), percpu_ref now can be
used as a persistent switch which can be turned on and off repeatedly
where turning off maps to killing the ref and waiting for it to drain;
however, there currently isn't a way to initialize a percpu_ref in its
off (killed and drained) state, which can be inconvenient for certain
persistent switch use cases.
Similarly, percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() allow dynamic
selection of operation mode; however, currently a newly initialized
percpu_ref is always in percpu mode making it impossible to avoid the
latency overhead of switching to atomic mode.
This patch adds @flags to percpu_ref_init() and implements the
following flags.
* PERCPU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC : start ref in atomic mode
* PERCPU_REF_INIT_DEAD : start ref killed and drained
These flags should be able to serve the above two use cases.

As reported by Dan Aloni, commit f8567a3845 ("aio: fix aio request
leak when events are reaped by userspace") introduces a regression when
user code attempts to perform io_submit() with more events than are
available in the ring buffer. Reverting that commit would reintroduce a
regression when user space event reaping is used.
Fixing this bug is a bit more involved than the previous attempts to fix
this regression. Since we do not have a single point at which we can
count events as being reaped by user space and io_getevents(), we have
to track event completion by looking at the number of events left in the
event ring. So long as there are as many events in the ring buffer as
there have been completion events generate, we cannot call
put_reqs_available(). The code to check for this is now placed in
refill_reqs_available().

Currently, a percpu_ref undoes percpu_ref_init() automatically by
freeing the allocated percpu area when the percpu_ref is killed.
While seemingly convenient, this has the following niggles.
* It's impossible to re-init a released reference counter without
going through re-allocation.
* In the similar vein, it's impossible to initialize a percpu_ref
count with static percpu variables.
* We need and have an explicit destructor anyway for failure paths -
percpu_ref_cancel_init().
This patch removes the automatic percpu counter freeing in
percpu_ref_kill_rcu() and repurposes percpu_ref_cancel_init() into a
generic destructor now named percpu_ref_exit(). percpu_ref_destroy()
is considered but it gets confusing with percpu_ref_kill() while
"exit" clearly indicates that it's the counterpart of
percpu_ref_init().
All percpu_ref_cancel_init() users are updated to invoke
percpu_ref_exit() instead and explicit percpu_ref_exit() calls are
added to the destruction path of all percpu_ref users.

rcu_dereference_protected() but the patch uses rcu_dereference_raw(),

OK. To me the code looks better/simpler with "if (ctx)", but this is subjective
of course, I won't argue.
The patch still removes the empty line between mmap_size = 0 and kill_ioctx(),
we reset mmap_size only for kill_ioctx(). But feel free to remove this change.

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] aio: change exit_aio() to load mm->ioctx_table once and avoid rcu_read_lock()
1. We can read ->ioctx_table only once and we do not read rcu_read_lock()
or even rcu_dereference().
This mm has no users, nobody else can play with ->ioctx_table. Otherwise
the code is buggy anyway, if we need rcu_read_lock() in a loop because
->ioctx_table can be updated then kfree(table) is obviously wrong.
2. Update the comment. "exit_mmap(mm) is coming" is the good reason to avoid
munmap(), but another reason is that we simply can't do vm_munmap() unless
current->mm == mm and this is not true in general, the caller is mmput().
3. We do not really need to nullify mm->ioctx_table before return, probably
the current code does this to catch the potential problems. But in this
case RCU_INIT_POINTER(NULL) looks better.

deletes aio context and all resources related to. It makes sense that
no IO operations connected to the context should be running after the context
is destroyed. As we removed io_context we have no chance to
get requests status or call io_getevents().
man page for io_destroy says that this function may block until
all context's requests are completed. Before kernel 3.11 io_destroy()
blocked indeed, but since aio refactoring in 3.11 it is not true anymore.
Here is a pseudo-code that shows a testcase for a race condition discovered
in 3.11:
initialize io_context
io_submit(read to buffer)
io_destroy()
// context is destroyed so we can free the resources
free(buffers);
// if the buffer is allocated by some other user he'll be surprised
// to learn that the buffer still filled by an outstanding operation
// from the destroyed io_context
The fix is straight-forward - add a completion struct and wait on it
in io_destroy, complete() should be called when number of in-fligh requests
reaches zero.
If two or more io_destroy() called for the same context simultaneously then
only the first one waits for IO completion, other calls behaviour is undefined.

do not see the race condition anymore.

As reported by Tang Chen, Gu Zheng and Yasuaki Isimatsu, the following issues
exist in the aio ring page migration support.
As a result, for example, we have the following problem:
thread 1 | thread 2
|
aio_migratepage() |
|-> take ctx->completion_lock |
|-> migrate_page_copy(new, old) |
| *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old |
|
| *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old
| aio_read_events_ring()
| |-> ring = kmap_atomic(ctx->ring_pages[0])
| |-> ring->head = head; *HERE, write to the old ring page*
| |-> kunmap_atomic(ring);
|
|-> ctx->ring_pages[idx] = new |
| *BUT NOW*, the content of |
| ring_pages[idx] is old. |
|-> release ctx->completion_lock |
As above, the new ring page will not be updated.
Fix this issue, as well as prevent races in aio_ring_setup() by holding
the ring_lock mutex during kioctx setup and page migration. This avoids
the overhead of taking another spinlock in aio_read_events_ring() as Tang's
and Gu's original fix did, pushing the overhead into the migration code.
Note that to handle the nesting of ring_lock inside of mmap_sem, the
migratepage operation uses mutex_trylock(). Page migration is not a 100%
critical operation in this case, so the ocassional failure can be
tolerated. This issue was reported by Sasha Levin.
Based on feedback from Linus, avoid the extra taking of ctx->completion_lock.
Instead, make page migration fully serialised by mapping->private_lock, and
have aio_free_ring() simply disconnect the kioctx from the mapping by calling
put_aio_ring_file() before touching ctx->ring_pages[]. This simplifies the
error handling logic in aio_migratepage(), and should improve robustness.
v4: always do mutex_unlock() in cases when kioctx setup fails.

aio/migratepages: make aio migrate pages sane
aio: fix kioctx leak introduced by "aio: Fix a trinity splat"
Since commit 36bc08cc01 ("fs/aio: Add support to aio ring pages
migration") the aio ring setup code has used a special per-ring backing
inode for the page allocations, rather than just using random anonymous
pages.
However, rather than remembering the pages as it allocated them, it
would allocate the pages, insert them into the file mapping (dirty, so
that they couldn't be free'd), and then forget about them. And then to
look them up again, it would mmap the mapping, and then use
"get_user_pages()" to get back an array of the pages we just created.
Now, not only is that incredibly inefficient, it also leaked all the
pages if the mmap failed (which could happen due to excessive number of
mappings, for example).
So clean it all up, making it much more straightforward. Also remove
some left-overs of the previous (broken) mm_populate() usage that was
removed in commit d6c355c7da ("aio: fix race in ring buffer page
lookup introduced by page migration support") but left the pointless and
now misleading MAP_POPULATE flag around.

To fix this, make migrate_page_move_mapping() take an extra_count parameter
that allows aio to tell the code about its own reference count on the page
being migrated.

ioctx_alloc() calls aio_setup_ring() to allocate a ring. If aio_setup_ring()
fails to do so it would call aio_free_ring() before returning, but
ioctx_alloc() would call aio_free_ring() again causing a double free of
the ring.
This is easily reproducible from userspace.

aio kiocb refcounting was broken - it was relying on keeping track of
the number of available ring buffer entries, which it needs to do
anyways; then at shutdown time it'd wait for completions to be delivered
until the # of available ring buffer entries equalled what it was
initialized to.
Problem with that is that the ring buffer is mapped writable into
userspace, so userspace could futz with the head and tail pointers to
cause the kernel to see extra completions, and cause free_ioctx() to
return while there were still outstanding kiocbs. Which would be bad.
Fix is just to directly refcount the kiocbs - which is more
straightforward, and with the new percpu refcounting code doesn't cost
us any cacheline bouncing which was the whole point of the original
scheme.
Also clean up ioctx_alloc()'s error path and fix a bug where it wasn't
subtracting from aio_nr if ioctx_add_table() failed.

Dmitry Vyukov managed to trigger a case where aio_migratepage can cause a
use-after-free during teardown of the aio ring buffer's mapping. This turns
out to be caused by access to the ioctx's ring_pages via the migratepage
operation which was not being protected by any locks during ioctx freeing.
Use the address_space's private_lock to protect use and updates of the mapping's
private_data, and make ioctx teardown unlink the ioctx from the address space.

Prior to the introduction of page migration support in "fs/aio: Add support
to aio ring pages migration" / 36bc08cc01,
mapping of the ring buffer pages was done via get_user_pages() while
retaining mmap_sem held for write. This avoided possible races with userland
racing an munmap() or mremap(). The page migration patch, however, switched
to using mm_populate() to prime the page mapping. mm_populate() cannot be
called with mmap_sem held.
Instead of dropping the mmap_sem, revert to the old behaviour and simply
drop the use of mm_populate() since get_user_pages() will cause the pages to
get mapped anyways. Thanks to Al Viro for spotting this issue.

In the patch "aio: convert the ioctx list to table lookup v3", incorrect
handling in the ioctx_alloc() error path was introduced that lead to an
ioctx being added via ioctx_add_table() while freed when the ioctx_alloc()
call returned -EAGAIN due to hitting the aio_max_nr limit. Fix this by
only calling ioctx_add_table() as the last step in ioctx_alloc().
Also, several unnecessary rcu_dereference() calls were added that lead to
RCU warnings where the system was already protected by a spin lock for
accessing mm->ioctx_table.

I've got an alternate approach for fixing this wart in lookup_ioctx()...
Instead of using an rbtree, just use the reserved id in the ring buffer
header to index an array pointing the ioctx. It's not finished yet, and
it needs to be tidied up, but is most of the way there.

This code doesn't serve any purpose anymore, since the aio retry
infrastructure has been removed.
This change should be safe because aio_read/write are also used for
synchronous IO, and called from do_sync_read()/do_sync_write() - and
there's no looping done in the sync case (the read and write syscalls).

aio_complete() (arguably) needs to keep its own trusted copy of the tail
pointer, but io_getevents() doesn't have to use it - it's already using
the head pointer from the ring buffer.
So convert it to use the tail from the ring buffer so it touches fewer
cachelines and doesn't contend with the cacheline aio_complete() needs.

Originally, io_event() was documented to return the io_event if
cancellation succeeded - the io_event wouldn't be delivered via the ring
buffer like it normally would.
But this isn't what the implementation was actually doing; the only
driver implementing cancellation, the usb gadget code, never returned an
io_event in its cancel function. And aio_complete() was recently changed
to no longer suppress event delivery if the kiocb had been cancelled.
This gets rid of the unused io_event argument to kiocb_cancel() and
kiocb->ki_cancel(), and changes io_cancel() to return -EINPROGRESS if
kiocb->ki_cancel() returned success.
Also tweak the refcounting in kiocb_cancel() to make more sense.

See the previous patch ("aio: reqs_active -> reqs_available") for why we
want to do this - this basically implements a per cpu allocator for
reqs_available that doesn't actually allocate anything.
Note that we need to increase the size of the ringbuffer we allocate,
since a single thread won't necessarily be able to use all the
reqs_available slots - some (up to about half) might be on other per cpu
lists, unavailable for the current thread.
We size the ringbuffer based on the nr_events userspace passed to
io_setup(), so this is a slight behaviour change - but nr_events wasn't
being used as a hard limit before, it was being rounded up to the next
page before so this doesn't change the actual semantics.

The number of outstanding kiocbs is one of the few shared things left that
has to be touched for every kiocb - it'd be nice to make it percpu.
We can make it per cpu by treating it like an allocation problem: we have
a maximum number of kiocbs that can be outstanding (i.e. slots) - then we
just allocate and free slots, and we know how to write per cpu allocators.
So as prep work for that, we convert reqs_active to reqs_available.

There was a regression introduced by 36f5588905 ("aio: refcounting
cleanup"), reported by Jens Axboe - the refcounting cleanup switched to
using RCU in the shutdown path, but the synchronize_rcu() was done in
the context of the io_destroy() syscall greatly increasing the time it
could block.
This patch switches it to call_rcu() and makes shutdown asynchronous
(more asynchronous than it was originally; before the refcount changes
io_destroy() would still wait on pending kiocbs).
Note that there's a global quota on the max outstanding kiocbs, and that
quota must be manipulated synchronously; otherwise io_setup() could
return -EAGAIN when there isn't quota available, and userspace won't
have any way of waiting until shutdown of the old kioctxs has finished
(besides busy looping).
So we release our quota before kioctx shutdown has finished, which
should be fine since the quota never corresponded to anything real
anyways.

The recent changes overhauling fs/aio.c introduced a bug that results in
the kioctx not being freed when outstanding kiocbs are cancelled at
exit_aio() time. Specifically, a kiocb that is cancelled has its
completion events discarded by batch_complete_aio(), which then fails to
wake up the process stuck in free_ioctx(). Fix this by modifying the
wait_event() condition in free_ioctx() appropriately.
This patch was tested with the cancel operation in the thread based code
posted yesterday.

Thanks to Zach Brown's work to rip out the retry infrastructure, we don't

This also refactors and trims some duplicated code, as well as cleaning up

struct aio_ring_info was kind of odd, the only place it's used is where
it's embedded in struct kioctx - there's no real need for it.
The next patch rearranges struct kioctx and puts various things on their
own cachelines - getting rid of struct aio_ring_info now makes that
reordering a bit clearer.

Previously, allocating a kiocb required touching quite a few global
(well, per kioctx) cachelines... so batching up allocation to amortize
those was worthwhile. But we've gotten rid of some of those, and in
another couple of patches kiocb allocation won't require writing to any
shared cachelines, so that means we can just rip this code out.

The aio code tries really hard to avoid having to deal with the
completion ringbuffer overflowing. To do that, it has to keep track of
the number of outstanding kiocbs, and the number of completions
currently in the ringbuffer - and it's got to check that every time we
allocate a kiocb. Ouch.
But - we can improve this quite a bit if we just change reqs_active to
mean "number of outstanding requests and unreaped completions" - that
means kiocb allocation doesn't have to look at the ringbuffer, which is
a fairly significant win.

Cancelling kiocbs requires adding them to a per kioctx linked list,
which is one of the few things we need to take the kioctx lock for in
the fast path. But most kiocbs can't be cancelled - so if we just do
this lazily, we can avoid quite a bit of locking overhead.
While we're at it, instead of using a flag bit switch to using ki_cancel
itself to indicate that a kiocb has been cancelled/completed. This lets
us get rid of ki_flags entirely.

Previously, aio_read_event() pulled a single completion off the
ringbuffer at a time, locking and unlocking each time. Change it to
pull off as many events as it can at a time, and copy them directly to
userspace.
This also fixes a bug where if copying the event to userspace failed,
we'd lose the event.
Also convert it to wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout(), which
simplifies it quite a bit.

The usage of ctx->dead was fubar - it makes no sense to explicitly check
it all over the place, especially when we're already using RCU.
Now, ctx->dead only indicates whether we've dropped the initial
refcount. The new teardown sequence is:
set ctx->dead
hlist_del_rcu();
synchronize_rcu();
Now we know no system calls can take a new ref, and it's safe to drop
the initial ref:
put_ioctx();
We also need to ensure there are no more outstanding kiocbs. This was
done incorrectly - it was being done in kill_ctx(), and before dropping
the initial refcount. At this point, other syscalls may still be
submitting kiocbs!
Now, we cancel and wait for outstanding kiocbs in free_ioctx(), after
kioctx->users has dropped to 0 and we know no more iocbs could be
submitted.

Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things:
* Pull it off the reqs_active list
* Decrementing reqs_active
* Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed.
This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons:
* aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the
kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to
do it twice.
* aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense
for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too.
* A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped
completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look
at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of
kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch.
This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that
implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have
to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled
kiocbs.
It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never
submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the
reqs_active list. This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which
is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one.

This removes the retry-based AIO infrastructure now that nothing in tree
is using it.
We want to remove retry-based AIO because it is fundemantally unsafe.
It retries IO submission from a kernel thread that has only assumed the
mm of the submitting task. All other task_struct references in the IO
submission path will see the kernel thread, not the submitting task.
This design flaw means that nothing of any meaningful complexity can use
retry-based AIO.
This removes all the code and data associated with the retry machinery.
The most significant benefit of this is the removal of the locking
around the unused run list in the submission path.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

do_mmap_pgoff() rounds up the desired size to the next PAGE_SIZE
multiple, however there was no equivalent code in mm_populate(), which
caused issues.
This could be fixed by introduced the same rounding in mm_populate(),
however I think it's preferable to make do_mmap_pgoff() return populate
as a size rather than as a boolean, so we don't have to duplicate the
size rounding logic in mm_populate().

When creating new mappings using the MAP_POPULATE / MAP_LOCKED flags (or
with MCL_FUTURE in effect), we want to populate the pages within the
newly created vmas. This may take a while as we may have to read pages
from disk, so ideally we want to do this outside of the write-locked
mmap_sem region.
This change introduces mm_populate(), which is used to defer populating
such mappings until after the mmap_sem write lock has been released.
This is implemented as a generalization of the former do_mlock_pages(),
which accomplished the same task but was using during mlock() /
mlockall().

general.

A cleanup of rw_copy_check_uvector and compat_rw_copy_check_uvector after
changes made to support CMA in an earlier patch.
Rather than having an additional check_access parameter to these
functions, the first paramater type is overloaded to allow the caller to
specify CHECK_IOVEC_ONLY which means check that the contents of the iovec
are valid, but do not check the memory that they point to. This is used
by process_vm_readv/writev where we need to validate that a iovec passed
to the syscall is valid but do not want to check the memory that it points
to at this point because it refers to an address space in another process.

We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use
the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example)
mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't
cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc.
Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that
rw_verify_area() also does) directly.
This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only
means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can
actually remove lines of code.

Current code has put_ioctx() called asynchronously from aio_fput_routine();
that's done *after* we have killed the request that used to pin ioctx,
so there's nothing to stop io_destroy() waiting in wait_for_all_aios()
from progressing. As the result, we can end up with async call of
put_ioctx() being the last one and possibly happening during exit_mmap()
or elf_core_dump(), neither of which expects stray munmap() being done
to them...
We do need to prevent _freeing_ ioctx until aio_fput_routine() is done
with that, but that's all we care about - neither io_destroy() nor
exit_aio() will progress past wait_for_all_aios() until aio_fput_routine()
does really_put_req(), so the ioctx teardown won't be done until then
and we don't care about the contents of ioctx past that point.
Since actual freeing of these suckers is RCU-delayed, we don't need to
bump ioctx refcount when request goes into list for async removal.
All we need is rcu_read_lock held just over the ->ctx_lock-protected
area in aio_fput_routine().

to guess the address io_setup() would've returned would free ioctx right

io_setup() points to PROT_READ mapping, so put_user() fails and we end

The problem lies with the allocation batching code. It will
opportunistically allocate kiocbs, and then trim back the list of iocbs
when there is not enough room in the completion ring to hold all of the
events.
In the case above, what happens is that the pruning back of events ends
up freeing up the last active request and the context is marked as dead,
so it is thus responsible for waking up waiters. Unfortunately, the
code does not check for this condition, so we end up with a hung task.

Since commit 080d676de0 ("aio: allocate kiocbs in batches") iocbs are
allocated in a batch during processing of first iocbs. All iocbs in a
batch are automatically added to ctx->active_reqs list and accounted in
ctx->reqs_active.
If one (not the last one) of iocbs submitted by an user fails, further
iocbs are not processed, but they are still present in ctx->active_reqs
and accounted in ctx->reqs_active. This causes process to stuck in a D
state in wait_for_all_aios() on exit since ctx->reqs_active will never
go down to zero. Furthermore since kiocb_batch_free() frees iocb
without removing it from active_reqs list the list become corrupted
which may cause oops.
Fix this by removing iocb from ctx->active_reqs and updating
ctx->reqs_active in kiocb_batch_free().

In testing aio on a fast storage device, I found that the context lock
takes up a fair amount of cpu time in the I/O submission path. The reason
is that we take it for every I/O submitted (see __aio_get_req). Since we
know how many I/Os are passed to io_submit, we can preallocate the kiocbs
in batches, reducing the number of times we take and release the lock.
In my testing, I was able to reduce the amount of time spent in
_raw_spin_lock_irq by .56% (average of 3 runs). The command I used to
test this was:
aio-stress -O -o 2 -o 3 -r 8 -d 128 -b 32 -i 32 -s 16384 <dev>
I also tested the patch with various numbers of events passed to
io_submit, and I ran the xfstests aio group of tests to ensure I didn't
break anything.

The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a
double copy of the message via shared memory.
The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination
process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory
directly from the source process into its own address space via a system
call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current
process's address space into a destination process's address space.
- Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
using it:
- Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
written to would need to be contiguous.
- Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
(reason appears to have been lost)
- Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
of processes that all need to do this with each other
- Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
consider adding in the future (see below)
- Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)
As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has
problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if
the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to
do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all
communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the
example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the
copying.
There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface
does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an
MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to
instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as
this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data
from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface
could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could
specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just
copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source
and destination and store it in the destination.
Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had
some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra
process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which
hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement
fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for
OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up
when the mm changes.
There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2
There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:
http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt
This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
64-bit kernels.
For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:

aio_wq isn't used during memory reclaim. Convert to alloc_workqueue()
without WQ_MEM_RECLAIM. It's possible to use system_wq but given that
the number of work items is determined from userland and the work item
may block, enforcing strict concurrency limit would be a good idea.
Also, move fput_work to system_wq so that aio_wq is used soley to
throttle the max concurrency of aio work items and fput_work doesn't
interact with other work items.

In this case, igrab isn't required because we already have a reference
on the file handle. It is safe to just bump the i_count directly
on the inode.

OCFS2 can return ERESTARTSYS from its write function when the process is
signalled while waiting for a cluster lock (and the filesystem is mounted
with intr mount option). Generally, it seems reasonable to allow
filesystems to return this error code from its IO functions. As we must
not leak ERESTARTSYS (and similar error codes) to userspace as a result of
an AIO operation, we have to properly convert it to EINTR inside AIO code
(restarting the syscall isn't really an option because other AIO could
have been already submitted by the same io_submit syscall).

Tavis Ormandy pointed out that do_io_submit does not do proper bounds
checking on the passed-in iocb array:
if (unlikely(nr < 0))
return -EINVAL;
if (unlikely(!access_ok(VERIFY_READ, iocbpp, (nr*sizeof(iocbpp)))))
return -EFAULT; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The attached patch checks for overflow, and if it is detected, the
number of iocbs submitted is scaled down to a number that will fit in
the long. This is an ok thing to do, as sys_io_submit is documented as
returning the number of iocbs submitted, so callers should handle a
return value of less than the 'nr' argument passed in.

__aio_put_req() plays sick games with file refcount. What
it wants is fput() from atomic context; it's almost always
done with f_count > 1, so they only have to deal with delayed
work in rare cases when their reference happens to be the
last one. Current code decrements f_count and if it hasn't
hit 0, everything is fine. Otherwise it keeps a pointer
to struct file (with zero f_count!) around and has delayed
work do __fput() on it.
Better way to do it: use atomic_long_add_unless( , -1, 1)
instead of !atomic_long_dec_and_test(). IOW, decrement it
only if it's not the last reference, leave refcount alone
if it was. And use normal fput() in delayed work.
I've made that atomic_long_add_unless call a new helper -
fput_atomic(). Drops a reference to file if it's safe to
do in atomic (i.e. if that's not the last one), tells if
it had been able to do that. aio.c converted to it, __fput()
use is gone. req->ki_file *always* contributes to refcount
now. And __fput() became static.

The aio compat code was not converting the struct iovecs from 32bit to
64bit pointers, causing either EINVAL to be returned from io_getevents, or
EFAULT as the result of the I/O. This patch passes a compat flag to
io_submit to signal that pointer conversion is necessary for a given iocb
array.
A variant of this was tested by Michael Tokarev. I have also updated the
libaio test harness to exercise this code path with good success.
Further, I grabbed a copy of ltp and ran the
testcases/kernel/syscall/readv and writev tests there (compiled with -m32
on my 64bit system). All seems happy, but extra eyes on this would be
welcome.

Hi,
Some workloads issue batches of small I/O, and the performance is poor
due to the call to blk_run_address_space for every single iocb. Nathan
Roberts pointed this out, and suggested that by deferring this call
until all I/Os in the iocb array are submitted to the block layer, we
can realize some impressive performance gains (up to 30% for sequential
4k reads in batches of 16).

The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a
bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list
(harness/cases/3.p).
Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process
exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio
(since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0).
The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless"
(commit abf137dd77).
Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not
return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was

Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context. Myself, like Eric,

able to, with the attached test program. Independently from this, the bug is
conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it. This patch adds an
optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd.
Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative
here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not

oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the
kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm(). The problem with
PF_BORROWED_MM is that we need task_lock() to avoid races. With this
patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper:
/* The result must not be dereferenced !!! */
struct mm_struct *__get_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk)

My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process
sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come
and it never would.
We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP. The hang only occurred on a Xeon box
("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe"). On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't
shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all
two processors on the Core2Duo we use.
My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop
in read_events(), what happens on processor #1:
1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait
2) aio_read_evt() to check tail
3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep
In aio_complete() with processor #2:
A) info->tail = tail;
B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait)
C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up()
The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors
before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by
step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors
(checked in step 2) before step B is done.
The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were
effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2
cache not shared by some of the other processors. Imagine:
proc 2: just before step A
proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet
proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events
proc 2, step A: updates tail
proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps
proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup
so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely
My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B. It ensures that the
update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing. If processor 1
was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update
tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail).
Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time. After
the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.
