2008-05-24proc: proc_get_inode() should get module only onceDenis V. Lunev
Any file under /proc/net opened more than once leaked the refcounter on the module it belongs to. The problem is that module_get is called for each file opening while module_put is called only when /proc inode is destroyed. So, lets put module counter if we are dealing with already initialised inode. Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10737 Signed-off-by: Denis V.

2008-05-13capabilities: add bounding set to /proc/self/statusSerge E. Hallyn
There is currently no way to query the bounding set of another task. As there appears to be no security reason not to, and as Michael Kerrisk points out the following valid reasons to do so exist: * consistency (I can see all of the other per-thread/process sets in /proc/.../status) * debugging -- I could imagine that it would make the job of debugging an application that uses capabilities a little simpler. this patch adds the bounding set to /proc/self/status right after the effective set.

2008-04-30mm: Add NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counterMiklos Szeredi
Fuse will use temporary buffers to write back dirty data from memory mappings (normal writes are done synchronously). This is needed, because there cannot be any guarantee about the time in which a write will complete. By using temporary buffers, from the MM's point if view the page is written back immediately. If the writeout was due to memory pressure, this effectively migrates data from a full zone to a less full zone. This patch adds a new counter (NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP) for the number of pages used as temporary buffers.

2008-04-29sysctl: add the ->permissions callback on the ctl_table_rootPavel Emelyanov
When reading from/writing to some table, a root, which this table came from, may affect this table's permissions, depending on who is working with the table. The core hunk is at the bottom of this patch. All the rest is just pushing the ctl_table_root argument up to the sysctl_perm() function. This will be mostly (only?) used in the net sysctls.

2008-04-29sysctl: merge equal proc_sys_read and proc_sys_writePavel Emelyanov
Many (most of) sysctls do not have a per-container sense. E.g. kernel.print_fatal_signals, vm.panic_on_oom, net.core.netdev_budget and so on and so forth. Besides, tuning then from inside a container is not even secure. On the other hand, hiding them completely from the container's tasks sometimes causes user-space to stop working. When developing net sysctl, the common practice was to duplicate a table and drop the write bits in table->mode, but this approach was not very elegant, lead to excessive memory consumption and was not suitable in general. Here's the alternative solution. To facilitate the per-container sysctls ctl_table_root-s were introduced. Each root contains a list of ctl_table_header-s that are visible to different namespaces. The idea of this set is to add the permissions() callback on the ctl_table_root to allow ctl root limit permissions to the same ctl_table-s. The main user of this functionality is the net-namespaces code, but later this will (should) be used by more and more namespaces, containers and control groups. Actually, this idea's core is in a single hunk in the third patch. First two patches are cleanups for sysctl code, while the third one mostly extends the arguments set of some sysctl functions. This patch: These ->read and ->write callbacks act in a very similar way, so merge these paths to reduce the number of places to patch later and shrink the .text size (a bit).

2008-04-29proc: introduce proc_create_data to setup de->dataDenis V. Lunev
This set of patches fixes an proc ->open'less usage due to ->proc_fops flip in the most part of the kernel code. The original OOPS is described in the commit 2d3a4e3666325a9709cc8ea2e88151394e8f20fc: Typical PDE creation code looks like: pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL); if (pde) pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops; Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to final value. This is a problem because right after creation a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below). The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like: pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops); if (!pde) return -ENOMEM; Fix most networking users for a start. In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go. In addition to this, proc_create_data is introduced to fix reading from proc without PDE->data. The race is basically the same as above. create_proc_entries is replaced in the entire kernel code as new method is also simply better. This patch: The problem is the same as for de->proc_fops. Right now PDE becomes visible without data set. So, the entry could be looked up without data. This, in most cases, will simply OOPS. proc_create_data call is created to address this issue. proc_create now becomes a wrapper around it. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Cc: "Eric W.

2008-04-29proc: less special case in xlate codeAlexey Dobriyan
If valid "parent" is passed to proc_create/remove_proc_entry(), then name of PDE should consist of only one path component, otherwise creation or or removal will fail. However, if NULL is passed as parent then create/remove accept full path as a argument. This is arbitrary restriction -- all infrastructure is in place. So, patch allows the following to succeed: create_proc_entry("foo/bar", 0, pde_baz); remove_proc_entry("baz/foo/bar", &proc_root); Also makes the following to behave identically: create_proc_entry("foo/bar", 0, NULL); create_proc_entry("foo/bar", 0, &proc_root); Discrepancy noticed by Den Lunev (IIRC).

2008-04-29procfs task exe symlinkMatt Helsley
The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and reported as the result. Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

2008-04-28vmalloc: show vmalloced areas via /proc/vmallocinfoChristoph Lameter
Implement a new proc file that allows the display of the currently allocated vmalloc memory. It allows to see the users of vmalloc. That is important if vmalloc space is scarce (i386 for example). And it's going to be important for the compound page fallback to vmalloc. Many of the current users can be switched to use compound pages with fallback. This means that the number of users of vmalloc is reduced and page tables no longer necessary to access the memory. /proc/vmallocinfo allows to review how that reduction occurs. If memory becomes fragmented and larger order allocations are no longer possible then /proc/vmallocinfo allows to see which compound page allocations fell back to virtual compound pages. That is important for new users of virtual compound pages. Such as order 1 stack allocation etc that may fallback to virtual compound pages in the future. /proc/vmallocinfo permissions are made readable-only-by-root to avoid possible information leakage.

Allow /proc/<pid>/mountinfo to use the root of <pid> to calculate mountpoints. - move definition of 'struct proc_mounts' to <linux/mnt_namespace.h> - add the process's namespace and root to this structure - pass a pointer to 'struct proc_mounts' into seq_operations In addition the following cleanups are made: - use a common open function for /proc/<pid>/{mounts,mountstat} - surround namespace.c part of these proc files with #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS - make the seq_operations structures const Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2008-03-20[NET]: Fix permissions of /proc/netAndre Noll
commit e9720ac ([NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)) broke ganglia and probably other applications that read /proc/net/dev. This is due to the change of permissions of /proc/net that was introduced in that commit. Before: dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:30 /proc/net After: dr-xr--r-- 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:29 /proc/self/net This patch restores the permissions to the old value which makes ganglia happy again. Pavel Emelyanov says: This also broke the postfix, as it was reported in bug #10286 and described in detail by Benjamin.

2008-03-07[NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)Pavel Emelyanov
Current /proc/net is done with so called "shadows", but current implementation is broken and has little chances to get fixed. The problem is that dentries subtree of /proc/net directory has fancy revalidation rules to make processes living in different net namespaces see different entries in /proc/net subtree, but currently, tasks see in the /proc/net subdir the contents of any other namespace, depending on who opened the file first. The proposed fix is to turn /proc/net into a symlink, which points to /proc/self/net, which in turn shows what previously was in /proc/net - the network-related info, from the net namespace the appropriate task lives in. # ls -l /proc/net lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 5 15:17 /proc/net -> self/net In other words - this behaves like /proc/mounts, but unlike "mounts", "net" is not a file, but a directory. Changes from v2: * Fixed discrepancy of /proc/net nlink count and selinux labeling screwup pointed out by Stephen. To get the correct nlink count the ->getattr callback for /proc/net is overridden to read one from the net->proc_net entry. To make selinux still work the net->proc_net entry is initialized properly, i.e. with the "net" name and the proc_net parent. Selinux fixes are Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Changes from v1: * Fixed a task_struct leak in get_proc_task_net, pointed out by Paul.
