fsnotify: Pass group argument to free_event

2021-10-27T10:34:18Z

For group-wide mempool backed events, like FS_ERROR, the free_event callback will need to reference the group's mempool to free the memory. Wire that argument into the current callers.

fanotify: configurable limits via sysfs

2021-03-16T15:49:31Z

fanotify has some hardcoded limits. The only APIs to escape those limits are FAN_UNLIMITED_QUEUE and FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS. Allow finer grained tuning of the system limits via sysfs tunables under /proc/sys/fs/fanotify, similar to tunables under /proc/sys/fs/inotify, with some minor differences. - max_queued_events - global system tunable for group queue size limit. Like the inotify tunable with the same name, it defaults to 16384 and applies on initialization of a new group. - max_user_marks - user ns tunable for marks limit per user. Like the inotify tunable named max_user_watches, on a machine with sufficient RAM and it defaults to 1048576 in init userns and can be further limited per containing user ns. - max_user_groups - user ns tunable for number of groups per user. Like the inotify tunable named max_user_instances, it defaults to 128 in init userns and can be further limited per containing user ns. The slightly different tunable names used for fanotify are derived from the "group" and "mark" terminology used in the fanotify man pages and throughout the code. Considering the fact that the default value for max_user_instances was increased in kernel v5.10 from 8192 to 1048576, leaving the legacy fanotify limit of 8192 marks per group in addition to the max_user_marks limit makes little sense, so the per group marks limit has been removed. Note that when a group is initialized with FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS, its own marks are not accounted in the per user marks account, so in effect the limit of max_user_marks is only for the collection of groups that are not initialized with FAN_UNLIMITED_MARKS.

inotify, memcg: account inotify instances to kmemcg

2021-01-05T13:42:54Z

Currently the fs sysctl inotify/max_user_instances is used to limit the number of inotify instances on the system. For systems running multiple workloads, the per-user namespace sysctl max_inotify_instances can be used to further partition inotify instances. However there is no easy way to set a sensible system level max limit on inotify instances and further partition it between the workloads. It is much easier to charge the underlying resource (i.e. memory) behind the inotify instances to the memcg of the workload and let their memory limits limit the number of inotify instances they can create. With inotify instances charged to memcg, the admin can simply set max_user_instances to INT_MAX and let the memcg limits of the jobs limit their inotify instances.

Call mutex_destroy() before freeing notification group. This only adds some additional debug checks when mutex debugging is enabled but still it may be useful.

fs: fsnotify: account fsnotify metadata to kmemcg

2018-08-17T23:20:30Z

Patch series "Directed kmem charging", v8. The Linux kernel's memory cgroup allows limiting the memory usage of the jobs running on the system to provide isolation between the jobs. All the kernel memory allocated in the context of the job and marked with __GFP_ACCOUNT will also be included in the memory usage and be limited by the job's limit. The kernel memory can only be charged to the memcg of the process in whose context kernel memory was allocated. However there are cases where the allocated kernel memory should be charged to the memcg different from the current processes's memcg. This patch series contains two such concrete use-cases i.e. fsnotify and buffer_head. The fsnotify event objects can consume a lot of system memory for large or unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. The events are allocated in the context of the event producer. However they should be charged to the event consumer. Similarly the buffer_head objects can be allocated in a memcg different from the memcg of the page for which buffer_head objects are being allocated. To solve this issue, this patch series introduces mechanism to charge kernel memory to a given memcg. In case of fsnotify events, the memcg of the consumer can be used for charging and for buffer_head, the memcg of the page can be charged. For directed charging, the caller can use the scope API memalloc_[un]use_memcg() to specify the memcg to charge for all the __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations within the scope. This patch (of 2): A lot of memory can be consumed by the events generated for the huge or unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. This can cause system level memory pressure or OOMs. So, it's better to account the fsnotify kmem caches to the memcg of the listener. However the listener can be in a different memcg than the memcg of the producer and these allocations happen in the context of the event producer. This patch introduces remote memcg charging API which the producer can use to charge the allocations to the memcg of the listener. There are seven fsnotify kmem caches and among them allocations from dnotify_struct_cache, dnotify_mark_cache, fanotify_mark_cache and inotify_inode_mark_cachep happens in the context of syscall from the listener. So, SLAB_ACCOUNT is enough for these caches. The objects from fsnotify_mark_connector_cachep are not accounted as they are small compared to the notification mark or events and it is unclear whom to account connector to since it is shared by all events attached to the inode. The allocations from the event caches happen in the context of the event producer. For such caches we will need to remote charge the allocations to the listener's memcg. Thus we save the memcg reference in the fsnotify_group structure of the listener. This patch has also moved the members of fsnotify_group to keep the size same, at least for 64 bit build, even with additional member by filling the holes.

fsnotify: use type id to identify connector object type

2018-05-18T12:58:22Z

An fsnotify_mark_connector is referencing a single type of object (either inode or vfsmount). Instead of storing a type mask in connector->flags, store a single type id in connector->type to identify the type of object. When a connector object is detached from the object, its type is set to FSNOTIFY_OBJ_TYPE_DETACHED and this object is not going to be reused. The function fsnotify_clear_marks_by_group() is the only place where type mask was used, so use type flags instead of type id to this function. This change is going to be more convenient when adding a new object type (super block). Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

fsnotify: convert fsnotify_group.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-10-31T16:54:56Z

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable fsnotify_group.refcnt is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. Suggested-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: David Windsor Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova Signed-off-by: Jan Kara
