* pipe: fix check in "set size" fcntlMiklos Szeredi2010-06-101-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | As it stands this check compares the number of pages to the page size. This makes no sense and makes the fcntl fail in almost any sane case. Fix it by checking if nr_pages is not zero (it can become zero only if arg is too big and round_pipe_size() overflows).

* pipe: fix pipe buffer resizingMiklos Szeredi2010-06-101-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | pipe_set_size() needs to copy pipe bufs from the old circular buffer to the new. The current code gets this wrong in multiple ways, resulting in oops.

* pipe: change /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-pages to byte sized interfaceJens Axboe2010-06-031-12/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | This changes the interface to be based on bytes instead. The API matches that of F_SETPIPE_SZ in that it rounds up the passed in size so that the resulting page array is a power-of-2 in size. The proc file is renamed to /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

* | pipe: make F_{GET,SET}PIPE_SZ deal with byte sizesJens Axboe2010-05-241-16/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of requiring an exact number of pages as the argument and return value, change the API to deal with number of bytes instead. This also relaxes the requirement that the passed in size must result in a power-of-2 page array size.

* fs: no games with DCACHE_UNHASHEDNick Piggin2009-12-171-18/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Filesystems outside the regular namespace do not have to clear DCACHE_UNHASHED in order to have a working /proc/$pid/fd/XXX. Nothing in proc prevents the fd link from being used if its dentry is not in the hash. Also, it does not get put into the dcache hash if DCACHE_UNHASHED is clear; that depends on the filesystem calling d_add or d_rehash. So delete the misleading comments and needless code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a null pointer exception in pipe_rdwr_open() which generates the stack trace: > Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 RIP: > [<ffffffff802899a5>] pipe_rdwr_open+0x35/0x70 > [<ffffffff8028125c>] __dentry_open+0x13c/0x230 > [<ffffffff8028143d>] do_filp_open+0x2d/0x40 > [<ffffffff802814aa>] do_sys_open+0x5a/0x100 > [<ffffffff8021faf3>] sysenter_do_call+0x1b/0x67 The failure mode is triggered by an attempt to open an anonymous pipe via /proc/pid/fd/* as exemplified by this script: ============================================================= while : ; do { echo y ; sleep 1 ; } | { while read ; do echo z$REPLY; done ; } & PID=$!

For example: static int pipe_rdwr_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp) { msleep(100); mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex); Although the defect was observed in pipe_rdwr_open(), I think it makes sense to replicate the change through all the pipe_*_open() functions. The core of the change is to verify that inode->i_pipe has not been released before attempting to manipulate it. If inode->i_pipe is no longer present, return ENOENT to indicate so. The comment about potentially using atomic_t for i_pipe->readers and i_pipe->writers has also been removed because it is no longer relevant in this context. The inode->i_mutex lock must be used so that inode->i_pipe can be dealt with correctly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | If f_op->splice_read() is not implemented, fall back to a plain read. Use vfs_readv() to read into previously allocated pages.

* splice: add helpers for locking pipe inodeMiklos Szeredi2009-04-151-4/+38

Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock() helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the pipe code.

* | Rationalize fasync return valuesJonathan Corbet2009-03-161-13/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most fasync implementations do something like: return fasync_helper(...); But fasync_helper() will return a positive value at times - a feature used in at least one place. Thus, a number of other drivers do: err = fasync_helper(...); if (err < 0) return err; return 0; In the interests of consistency and more concise code, it makes sense to map positive return values onto zero where ->fasync() is called.

This patch implements the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag. I did not add support for the new syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation. I think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified implementation but that's up to them. The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags. I did that instead of changing all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler. I would probably screw up changing the assembly code. To avoid breaking code do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags. Once all callers are changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.

It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers) I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL isn't needed.

| | | | | | | | make sync wakeups affine for cache-cold tasks: if a cache-cold task is woken up by a sync wakeup then use the opportunity to migrate it straight away. (the two tasks are 'related' because they communicate) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* pipe: change the ->pin() operation to ->confirm()Jens Axboe2007-07-101-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer in the most commonly used sense in the kernel. So change the name to 'confirm', after debating this issue with Hugh Dickins a bit. A good return from ->confirm() means that the buffer is really there, and that the contents are good.

* VFS: delay the dentry name generation on sockets and pipesEric Dumazet2007-05-081-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'. This method called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for special filesystems. It is called without locks. Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen); 2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations 3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/... 4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/...
