blktrace: fix dereference after null check

2020-03-05T20:42:40Z

There was a recent change in blktrace.c that added a RCU protection to `q->blk_trace` in order to fix a use-after-free issue during access. However the change missed an edge case that can lead to dereferencing of `bt` pointer even when it's NULL: Coverity static analyzer marked this as a FORWARD_NULL issue with CID 1460458. ``` /kernel/trace/blktrace.c: 1904 in sysfs_blk_trace_attr_store() 1898 ret = 0; 1899 if (bt == NULL) 1900 ret = blk_trace_setup_queue(q, bdev); 1901 1902 if (ret == 0) { 1903 if (attr == &dev_attr_act_mask) >>> CID 1460458: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL) >>> Dereferencing null pointer "bt". 1904 bt->act_mask = value; 1905 else if (attr == &dev_attr_pid) 1906 bt->pid = value; 1907 else if (attr == &dev_attr_start_lba) 1908 bt->start_lba = value; 1909 else if (attr == &dev_attr_end_lba) ``` Added a reassignment with RCU annotation to fix the issue.

blktrace: Protect q->blk_trace with RCU

2020-02-25T15:40:07Z

KASAN is reporting that __blk_add_trace() has a use-after-free issue when accessing q->blk_trace. Indeed the switching of block tracing (and thus eventual freeing of q->blk_trace) is completely unsynchronized with the currently running tracing and thus it can happen that the blk_trace structure is being freed just while __blk_add_trace() works on it. Protect accesses to q->blk_trace by RCU during tracing and make sure we wait for the end of RCU grace period when shutting down tracing. Luckily that is rare enough event that we can afford that. Note that postponing the freeing of blk_trace to an RCU callback should better be avoided as it could have unexpected user visible side-effects as debugfs files would be still existing for a short while block tracing has been shut down.

tracing: Make struct ring_buffer less ambiguous

2020-01-13T18:19:38Z

As there's two struct ring_buffers in the kernel, it causes some confusion. The other one being the perf ring buffer. It was agreed upon that as neither of the ring buffers are generic enough to be used globally, they should be renamed as: perf's ring_buffer -> perf_buffer ftrace's ring_buffer -> trace_buffer This implements the changes to the ring buffer that ftrace uses.

tracing: Rename trace_buffer to array_buffer

2020-01-13T18:19:38Z

As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer. As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

cgroup: use cgrp->kn->id as the cgroup ID

2019-11-12T16:18:04Z

cgroup ID is currently allocated using a dedicated per-hierarchy idr and used internally and exposed through tracepoints and bpf. This is confusing because there are tracepoints and other interfaces which use the cgroupfs ino as IDs. The preceding changes made kn->id exposed as ino as 64bit ino on supported archs or ino+gen (low 32bits as ino, high gen). There's no reason for cgroup to use different IDs. The kernfs IDs are unique and userland can easily discover them and map them back to paths using standard file operations. This patch replaces cgroup IDs with kernfs IDs. * cgroup_id() is added and all cgroup ID users are converted to use it. * kernfs_node creation is moved to earlier during cgroup init so that cgroup_id() is available during init. * While at it, s/cgroup/cgrp/ in psi helpers for consistency. * Fallback ID value is changed to 1 to be consistent with root cgroup ID.

kernfs: use 64bit inos if ino_t is 64bit

2019-11-12T16:18:04Z

Each kernfs_node is identified with a 64bit ID. The low 32bit is exposed as ino and the high gen. While this already allows using inos as keys by looking up with wildcard generation number of 0, it's adding unnecessary complications for 64bit ino archs which can directly use kernfs_node IDs as inos to uniquely identify each cgroup instance. This patch exposes IDs directly as inos on 64bit ino archs. The conversion is mostly straight-forward. * 32bit ino archs behave the same as before. 64bit ino archs now use the whole 64bit ID as ino and the generation number is fixed at 1. * 64bit inos still use the same idr allocator which gurantees that the lower 32bits identify the current live instance uniquely and the high 32bits are incremented whenever the low bits wrap. As the upper 32bits are no longer used as gen and we don't wanna start ino allocation with 33rd bit set, the initial value for highbits allocation is changed to 0 on 64bit ino archs. * blktrace exposes two 32bit numbers - (INO,GEN) pair - to identify the issuing cgroup. Userland builds FILEID_INO32_GEN fids from these numbers to look up the cgroups. To remain compatible with the behavior, always output (LOW32,HIGH32) which will be constructed back to the original 64bit ID by __kernfs_fh_to_dentry().

kernfs: convert kernfs_node->id from union kernfs_node_id to u64

2019-11-12T16:18:03Z

kernfs_node->id is currently a union kernfs_node_id which represents either a 32bit (ino, gen) pair or u64 value. I can't see much value in the usage of the union - all that's needed is a 64bit ID which the current code is already limited to. Using a union makes the code unnecessarily complicated and prevents using 64bit ino without adding practical benefits. This patch drops union kernfs_node_id and makes kernfs_node->id a u64. ino is stored in the lower 32bits and gen upper. Accessors - kernfs[_id]_ino() and kernfs[_id]_gen() - are added to retrieve the ino and gen. This simplifies ID handling less cumbersome and will allow using 64bit inos on supported archs. This patch doesn't make any functional changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Alexei Starovoitov

blktrace: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should never do something different based on this. Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: linux-block@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

blkcg: remove bio->bi_css and instead use bio->bi_blkg

2018-12-08T05:26:37Z

Prior patches ensured that any bio that interacts with a request_queue is properly associated with a blkg. This makes bio->bi_css unnecessary as blkg maintains a reference to blkcg already. This removes the bio field bi_css and transfers corresponding uses to access via bi_blkg. Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik Acked-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
