* fs: don't allow to complete sync iocbs through aio_completeChristoph Hellwig2015-03-131-18/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | The AIO interface is fairly complex because it tries to allow filesystems to always work async and then wakeup a synchronous caller through aio_complete. It turns out that basically no one was doing this to avoid the complexity and context switches, and we've already fixed up the remaining users and can now get rid of this case.

Just the callers for now, and it's clumsier than it'll eventually become; once we finish converting aio_read and aio_write instances, the things will get nicer. For now, these guys are in parallel to ->aio_read() and ->aio_write(); they take iocb and iov_iter, with everything in iov_iter already validated. File offset is passed in iocb->ki_pos, iov/nr_segs - in iov_iter. Main concerns in that series are stack footprint and ability to split the damn thing cleanly.

| | | | | | | | | | | Since we are about to introduce new methods (read_iter/write_iter), the tests in a bunch of places would have to grow inconveniently. Check once (at open() time) and store results in ->f_mode as FMODE_CAN_READ and FMODE_CAN_WRITE resp. It might end up being a temporary measure - once everything switches from ->aio_{read,write} to ->{read,write}_iter it might make sense to return to open-coded checks. We'll see...

The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters. Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro. Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro. In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters. Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't cause any harm. The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64. System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro: COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk); which generates the following code (simplified): asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk); asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk) { return sys_brk((u32)brk); } Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration. In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably should have been used instead. Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled correctly with the s390 specific macros. I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the generated code is correct and matches the previous code. In fact it did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand written asm code. In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking" * 'compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (44 commits) s390/compat: add copyright statement compat: include linux/unistd.h within linux/compat.h s390/compat: get rid of compat wrapper assembly code s390/compat: build error for large compat syscall args mm/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types kexec/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types net/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types ipc/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types fs/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types ipc/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE fs/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE security/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE mm/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE net/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE kernel/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE fs/compat: optional preadv64/pwrite64 compat system calls ipc/compat_sys_msgrcv: change msgtyp type from long to compat_long_t s390/compat: partial parameter conversion within syscall wrappers s390/compat: automatic zero, sign and pointer conversion of syscalls s390/compat: add sync_file_range and fallocate compat syscalls ...

* | vfs: atomic f_pos accesses as per POSIXLinus Torvalds2014-03-101-14/+40
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()" concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data. This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says: "2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on regular files or symbolic links: [...]" and one of the effects is the file position update. This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody has ever cared. Until now. Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to Michael Kerrisk that was due to this. This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads or processes.

* fs/compat: fix parameter handling for compat readv/writev syscallsHeiko Carstens2014-01-291-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We got a report that the pwritev syscall does not work correctly in compat mode on s390. It turned out that with commit 72ec35163f9f ("switch compat readv/writev variants to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") we lost the zero extension of a couple of syscall parameters because the some parameter types haven't been converted from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t. This is needed for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.

* fs/read_write.c:compat_readv(): remove bogus area verifyCorey Minyard2014-01-211-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The compat_do_readv_writev() function was doing a verify_area on the incoming iov, but the nr_segs value is not checked. If someone passes in a -1 for nr_segs, for instance, the function should return an EINVAL. However, it returns a EFAULT because the verify_area fails because it is checking an array of size MAX_UINT. The check is bogus, anyway, because the next check, compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(), will do all the necessary checking, anyway. The non-compat do_readv_writev() function doesn't do this check, so I think it's safe to just remove the code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

My apologies ;-/ Eventually, we want that in fs/splice.c side of things (no point repeating it for every buffer, after all), but for now this is the obvious minimal fix.

* | Don't bother with redoing rw_verify_area() from default_file_splice_from()Al Viro2013-03-211-0/+25
|/ | | | | | | | | | default_file_splice_from() ends up calling vfs_write() (via very convoluted callchain). It's an overkill, since we already have done rw_verify_area() in the caller by the time we call vfs_write() we are under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), so access_ok() is also pointless. Add a new helper (__kernel_write()), use it instead of kernel_write() in there. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
