Since commit 7e790dd5 ("inotify: fix error paths in inotify_update_watch") inotify changed the manor in which it gave watch descriptors back to userspace. Previous to this commit inotify acted like the following: inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1 inotify_rm_watch(X, 1); inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 2 but after this patch inotify would return watch descriptors like so: inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1 inotify_rm_watch(X, 1); inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1 which I saw as equivalent to opening an fd where open(file) = 1; close(1); open(file) = 1; seemed perfectly reasonable. The issue is that quite a bit of userspace apparently relies on the behavior in which watch descriptors will not be quickly reused. KDE relies on it, I know some selinux packages rely on it, and I have heard complaints from other random sources such as debian bug 558981. Although the man page implies what we do is ok, we broke userspace so this patch almost reverts us to the old behavior. It is still slightly racey and I have patches that would fix that, but they are rather large and this will fix it for all real world cases. The race is as follows: - task1 creates a watch and blocks in idr_new_watch() before it updates the hint. - task2 creates a watch and updates the hint. - task1 updates the hint with it's older wd - task removes the watch created by task2 - task adds a new watch and will reuse the wd originally given to task2 it requires moving some locking around the hint (last_wd) but this should solve it for the real world and be -stable safe. As a side effect this patch papers over a bug in the lib/idr code which is causing a large number WARN's to pop on people's system and many reports in kerneloops.org. I'm working on the root cause of that idr bug seperately but this should make inotify immune to that issue. Signed-off-by:

Before the rewrite copy_event_to_user always wrote a terqminating '\0' byte to user space after the filename. Since the rewrite that terminating byte was skipped if your filename is exactly a multiple of event_size. Ouch! So add one byte to name_size before we round up and use clear_user to set userspace to zero like /dev/zero does instead of copying the strange nul_inotify_event. I can't quite convince myself len_to_zero will never exceed 16 and even if it doesn't clear_user should be more efficient and a more accurate reflection of what the code is trying to do.

The inotify_add_watch man page specifies that inotify_add_watch() will return a non-negative integer. However, historically the inotify watches started at 1, not at 0. Turns out that the inotifywait program provided by the inotify-tools package doesn't properly handle a 0 watch descriptor. In 7e790dd5 we changed from starting at 1 to starting at 0. This patch starts at 1, just like in previous kernels, but also just like in previous kernels it's possible for it to wrap back to 0. This preserves the kernel functionality exactly like it was before the patch (neither method broke the spec) Signed-off-by:

inotify decides if private data it passed to get added to an event was used by checking list_empty(). But it's possible that the event may have been dequeued and the private event removed so it would look empty.

inotify_update_watch could leave things in a horrid state on a number of error paths. We could try to remove idr entries that didn't exist, we could send an IN_IGNORED to userspace for watches that don't exist, and a bit of other stupidity. Clean these up by doing the idr addition before we put the mark on the inode since we can clean that up on error and getting off the inode's mark list is hard. Signed-off-by:

inotify_add_watch had a couple of problems. The biggest being that if inotify_add_watch was called on the same inode twice (to update or change the event mask) a refence was taken on the original inode mark by fsnotify_find_mark_entry but was not being dropped at the end of the inotify_add_watch call. Thus if inotify_rm_watch was called although the mark was removed from the inode, the refcnt wouldn't hit zero and we would leak memory. Reported-by:

inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twice for the same mark since it is called directly in inotify_rm_watch and when the mark is being destroyed for another reason. As an example assume that the file being watched was just deleted so inotify_destroy_mark_entry would get called from the path fsnotify_inoderemove() -> fsnotify_destroy_marks_by_inode() -> fsnotify_destroy_mark_entry() -> inotify_destroy_mark_entry(). If this happened at the same time as userspace tried to remove a watch via inotify_rm_watch we could attempt to remove the mark from the idr twice and could thus double dec the ref cnt and potentially could be in a use after free/double free situation. The fix is to have inotify_rm_watch use the generic recursive safe fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry() so we are sure the inotify_destroy_mark_entry() function can only be called one. This patch also renames the function to inotify_ingored_remove_idr() so it is clear what is actually going on in the function. Hopefully this fixes: [ 20.342058] idr_remove called for id=20 which is not allocated.

There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep. inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() => kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim => dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be quite involved.

If userspace supplies an invalid pointer to a read() of an inotify instance, the inotify device's event list mutex is unlocked twice. This causes an unbalance which effectively leaves the data structure unprotected, and we can trigger oopses by accessing the inotify instance from different tasks concurrently. The best fix (contributed largely by Linus) is a total rewrite of the function in question: On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 7:05 AM, Linus Torvalds wrote: > The thing to notice is that: > > - locking is done in just one place, and there is no question about it > not having an unlock. > > - that whole double-while(1)-loop thing is gone. > > - use multiple functions to make nesting and error handling sane > > - do error testing after doing the things you always need to do, ie do > this: > > mutex_lock(..) > ret = function_call(); > mutex_unlock(..) > > .. test ret here .. > > instead of doing conditional exits with unlocking or freeing. > > So if the code is written in this way, it may still be buggy, but at least > it's not buggy because of subtle "forgot to unlock" or "forgot to free" > issues. > > This _always_ unlocks if it locked, and it always frees if it got a > non-error kevent.

The problems lie in the types used for some inotify interfaces, both at the kernel level and at the glibc level. This mail addresses the kernel problem. I will follow up with some suggestions for glibc changes. For the sys_inotify_rm_watch() interface, the type of the 'wd' argument is currently 'u32', it should be '__s32' . That is Robert's suggestion, and is consistent with the other declarations of watch descriptors in the kernel source, in particular, the inotify_event structure in include/linux/inotify.h: struct inotify_event { __s32 wd; /* watch descriptor */ __u32 mask; /* watch mask */ __u32 cookie; /* cookie to synchronize two events */ __u32 len; /* length (including nulls) of name */ char name[0]; /* stub for possible name */ }; The patch makes the changes needed for inotify_rm_watch().

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #ifndef __NR_inotify_init1 # ifdef __x86_64__ # define __NR_inotify_init1 294 # elif defined __i386__ # define __NR_inotify_init1 332 # else # error "need __NR_inotify_init1" # endif #endif #define IN_NONBLOCK O_NONBLOCK int main (void) { int fd = syscall (__NR_inotify_init1, 0); if (fd == -1) { puts ("inotify_init1(0) failed"); return 1; } int fl = fcntl (fd, F_GETFL); if (fl == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if (fl & O_NONBLOCK) { puts ("inotify_init1(0) set non-blocking mode"); return 1; } close (fd); fd = syscall (__NR_inotify_init1, IN_NONBLOCK); if (fd == -1) { puts ("inotify_init1(IN_NONBLOCK) failed"); return 1; } fl = fcntl (fd, F_GETFL); if (fl == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if ((fl & O_NONBLOCK) == 0) { puts ("inotify_init1(IN_NONBLOCK) set non-blocking mode"); return 1; } close (fd); puts ("OK"); return 0; } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces the new syscall inotify_init1 (note: the 1 stands for the one parameter the syscall takes, as opposed to no parameter before). The values accepted for this parameter are function-specific and defined in the inotify.h header. Here the values must match the O_* flags, though. In this patch CLOEXEC support is introduced. The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #ifndef __NR_inotify_init1 # ifdef __x86_64__ # define __NR_inotify_init1 294 # elif defined __i386__ # define __NR_inotify_init1 332 # else # error "need __NR_inotify_init1" # endif #endif #define IN_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC int main (void) { int fd; fd = syscall (__NR_inotify_init1, 0); if (fd == -1) { puts ("inotify_init1(0) failed"); return 1; } int coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD); if (coe == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if (coe & FD_CLOEXEC) { puts ("inotify_init1(0) set close-on-exit"); return 1; } close (fd); fd = syscall (__NR_inotify_init1, IN_CLOEXEC); if (fd == -1) { puts ("inotify_init1(IN_CLOEXEC) failed"); return 1; } coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD); if (coe == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if ((coe & FD_CLOEXEC) == 0) { puts ("inotify_init1(O_CLOEXEC) does not set close-on-exit"); return 1; } close (fd); puts ("OK"); return 0; } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add sys_ni stub] Signed-off-by:

Some drivers have duplicated unlikely() macros. IS_ERR() already has unlikely() in itself. This patch cleans up such pointless code. Signed-off-by:

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata. Together with the other patches of this series - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on <dentry,vfsmount> pairs - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed - it reduces the overall code size: without patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux with patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux This patch: Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.
