      pidns: Make the pidns proc mount/umount logic obvious. · 0a01f2cc
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      
      Track the number of pids in the proc hash table.  When the number of
      pids goes to 0 schedule work to unmount the kernel mount of proc.
      
      Move the mount of proc into alloc_pid when we allocate the pid for
      init.
      
      Remove the surprising calls of pid_ns_release proc in fork and
      proc_flush_task.  Those code paths really shouldn't know about proc
      namespace implementation details and people have demonstrated several
      times that finding and understanding those code paths is difficult and
      non-obvious.
      
      Because of the call path detach pid is alwasy called with the
      rtnl_lock held free_pid is not allowed to sleep, so the work to
      unmounting proc is moved to a work queue.  This has the side benefit
      of not blocking the entire world waiting for the unnecessary
      rcu_barrier in deactivate_locked_super.
      
      In the process of making the code clear and obvious this fixes a bug
      reported by Gao feng <gaofeng@cn.fujitsu.com> where we would leak a
      mount of proc during clone(CLONE_NEWPID|CLONE_NEWNET) if copy_pid_ns
      succeeded and copy_net_ns failed.

      pidns: Capture the user namespace and filter ns_last_pid · 49f4d8b9
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      
      - Capture the the user namespace that creates the pid namespace
      - Use that user namespace to test if it is ok to write to
        /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid.
      
      Zhao Hongjiang <zhaohongjiang@huawei.com> noticed I was missing a put_user_ns
      in when destroying a pid_ns.  I have foloded his patch into this one
      so that bisects will work properly.

      pidns: limit the nesting depth of pid namespaces · f2302505
      Andrew Vagin authored
      
      'struct pid' is a "variable sized struct" - a header with an array of
      upids at the end.
      
      The size of the array depends on a level (depth) of pid namespaces.  Now a
      level of pidns is not limited, so 'struct pid' can be more than one page.
      
      Looks reasonable, that it should be less than a page.  MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL is
      not calculated from PAGE_SIZE, because in this case it depends on
      architectures, config options and it will be reduced, if someone adds a
      new fields in struct pid or struct upid.
      
      I suggest to set MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL = 32, because it saves ability to expand
      "struct pid" and it's more than enough for all known for me use-cases.
      When someone finds a reasonable use case, we can add a config option or a
      sysctl parameter.
      
      In addition it will reduce the effect of another problem, when we have
      many nested namespaces and the oldest one starts dying.
      zap_pid_ns_processe will be called for each namespace and find_vpid will
      be called for each process in a namespace.  find_vpid will be called
      minimum max_level^2 / 2 times.  The reason of that is that when we found a
      bit in pidmap, we can't determine this pidns is top for this process or it
      isn't.
      
      vpid is a heavy operation, so a fork bomb, which create many nested
      namespace, can make a system inaccessible for a long time.  For example my
      system becomes inaccessible for a few minutes with 4000 processes.

      pidns: remove recursion from free_pid_ns() · bbc2e3ef
      Cyrill Gorcunov authored
      
      free_pid_ns() operates in a recursive fashion:
      
      free_pid_ns(parent)
        put_pid_ns(parent)
          kref_put(&ns->kref, free_pid_ns);
            free_pid_ns
      
      thus if there was a huge nesting of namespaces the userspace may trigger
      avalanche calling of free_pid_ns leading to kernel stack exhausting and a
      panic eventually.
      
      This patch turns the recursion into an iterative loop.
      
      Based on a patch by Andrew Vagin.

      pidns: guarantee that the pidns init will be the last pidns process reaped · 6347e900
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      
      Today we have a twofold bug.  Sometimes release_task on pid == 1 in a pid
      namespace can run before other processes in a pid namespace have had
      release task called.  With the result that pid_ns_release_proc can be
      called before the last proc_flus_task() is done using upid->ns->proc_mnt,
      resulting in the use of a stale pointer.  This same set of circumstances
      can lead to waitpid(...) returning for a processes started with
      clone(CLONE_NEWPID) before the every process in the pid namespace has
      actually exited.
      
      To fix this modify zap_pid_ns_processess wait until all other processes in
      the pid namespace have exited, even EXIT_DEAD zombies.
      
      The delay_group_leader and related tests ensure that the thread gruop
      leader will be the last thread of a process group to be reaped, or to
      become EXIT_DEAD and self reap.  With the change to zap_pid_ns_processes
      we get the guarantee that pid == 1 in a pid namespace will be the last
      task that release_task is called on.
      
      With pid == 1 being the last task to pass through release_task
      pid_ns_release_proc can no longer be called too early nor can wait return
      before all of the EXIT_DEAD tasks in a pid namespace have exited.

      pidns: add reboot_pid_ns() to handle the reboot syscall · cf3f8921
      Daniel Lezcano authored
      
      In the case of a child pid namespace, rebooting the system does not really
      makes sense.  When the pid namespace is used in conjunction with the other
      namespaces in order to create a linux container, the reboot syscall leads
      to some problems.
      
      A container can reboot the host.  That can be fixed by dropping the
      sys_reboot capability but we are unable to correctly to poweroff/
      halt/reboot a container and the container stays stuck at the shutdown time
      with the container's init process waiting indefinitively.
      
      After several attempts, no solution from userspace was found to reliabily
      handle the shutdown from a container.
      
      This patch propose to make the init process of the child pid namespace to
      exit with a signal status set to : SIGINT if the child pid namespace
      called "halt/poweroff" and SIGHUP if the child pid namespace called
      "reboot".  When the reboot syscall is called and we are not in the initial
      pid namespace, we kill the pid namespace for "HALT", "POWEROFF",
      "RESTART", and "RESTART2".  Otherwise we return EINVAL.
      
      Returning EINVAL is also an easy way to check if this feature is supported
      by the kernel when invoking another 'reboot' option like CAD.
      
      By this way the parent process of the child pid namespace knows if it
      rebooted or not and can take the right decision.
      
      Test case:

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo authored
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
