2015-09-03security/device_cgroup: Fix RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() conditionPaul E. McKenney1-1/+1
f78f5b90c4ff ("rcu: Rename rcu_lockdep_assert() to RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN()") introduced a bug by incorrectly inverting the condition when moving from rcu_lockdep_assert() to RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(). This commit therefore fixes the inversion. Reported-by: Felipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com> Reported-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-07-15cgroup: rename cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes to ->legacy_cftypesTejun Heo1-1/+1
Currently, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is used for both the unified default hierarchy and legacy ones and subsystems can mark each file with either CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL or CFTYPE_INSANE if it has to appear only on one of them. This is quite hairy and error-prone. Also, we may end up exposing interface files to the default hierarchy without thinking it through. cgroup_subsys will grow two separate cftype arrays and apply each only on the hierarchies of the matching type. This will allow organizing cftypes in a lot clearer way and encourage subsystems to scrutinize the interface which is being exposed in the new default hierarchy. In preparation, this patch renames cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes to cgroup_subsys->legacy_cftypes. This patch is pure rename.

2014-05-05device_cgroup: check if exception removal is allowedAristeu Rozanski1-3/+38
[PATCH v3 1/2] device_cgroup: check if exception removal is allowed When the device cgroup hierarchy was introduced in bd2953ebbb53 - devcg: propagate local changes down the hierarchy a specific case was overlooked. Consider the hierarchy bellow: A default policy: ALLOW, exceptions will deny access \ B default policy: ALLOW, exceptions will deny access There's no need to verify when an new exception is added to B because in this case exceptions will deny access to further devices, which is always fine. Hierarchy in device cgroup only makes sure B won't have more access than A. But when an exception is removed (by writing devices.allow), it isn't checked if the user is in fact removing an inherited exception from A, thus giving more access to B. Example: # echo 'a' >A/devices.allow # echo 'c 1:3 rw' >A/devices.deny # echo $$ >A/B/tasks # echo >/dev/null -bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted # echo 'c 1:3 w' >A/B/devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # This shouldn't be allowed and this patch fixes it by making sure to never allow exceptions in this case to be removed if the exception is partially or fully present on the parent. v3: missing '*' in function description v2: improved log message and formatting fixes Cc: cgroups@vger.kernel.org Cc: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Aristeu Rozanski <arozansk@redhat.com> Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2014-04-21device_cgroup: rework device access check and exception checkingAristeu Rozanski1-40/+122
Whenever a device file is opened and checked against current device cgroup rules, it uses the same function (may_access()) as when a new exception rule is added by writing devices.{allow,deny}. And in both cases, the algorithm is the same, doesn't matter the behavior. First problem is having device access to be considered the same as rule checking. Consider the following structure: A (default behavior: allow, exceptions disallow access) \ B (default behavior: allow, exceptions disallow access) A new exception is added to B by writing devices.deny: c 12:34 rw When checking if that exception is allowed in may_access(): if (dev_cgroup->behavior == DEVCG_DEFAULT_ALLOW) { if (behavior == DEVCG_DEFAULT_ALLOW) { /* the exception will deny access to certain devices */ return true; Which is ok, since B is not getting more privileges than A, it doesn't matter and the rule is accepted Now, consider it's a device file open check and the process belongs to cgroup B. The access will be generated as: behavior: allow exception: c 12:34 rw The very same chunk of code will allow it, even if there's an explicit exception telling to do otherwise. A simple test case: # mkdir new_group # cd new_group # echo $$ >tasks # echo "c 1:3 w" >devices.deny # echo >/dev/null # echo $? 0 This is a serious bug and was introduced on c39a2a3018f8 devcg: prepare may_access() for hierarchy support To solve this problem, the device file open function was split from the new exception check. Second problem is how exceptions are processed by may_access(). The first part of the said function tries to match fully with an existing exception: list_for_each_entry_rcu(ex, &dev_cgroup->exceptions, list) { if ((refex->type & DEV_BLOCK) && !(ex->type & DEV_BLOCK)) continue; if ((refex->type & DEV_CHAR) && !(ex->type & DEV_CHAR)) continue; if (ex->major != ~0 && ex->major != refex->major) continue; if (ex->minor != ~0 && ex->minor != refex->minor) continue; if (refex->access & (~ex->access)) continue; match = true; break; } That means the new exception should be contained into an existing one to be considered a match: New exception Existing match? notes b 12:34 rwm b 12:34 rwm yes b 12:34 r b *:34 rw yes b 12:34 rw b 12:34 w no extra "r" b *:34 rw b 12:34 rw no too broad "*" b *:34 rw b *:34 rwm yes Which is fine in some cases. Consider: A (default behavior: deny, exceptions allow access) \ B (default behavior: deny, exceptions allow access) In this case the full match makes sense, the new exception cannot add more access than the parent allows But this doesn't always work, consider: A (default behavior: allow, exceptions disallow access) \ B (default behavior: deny, exceptions allow access) In this case, a new exception in B shouldn't match any of the exceptions in A, after all you can't allow something that was forbidden by A. But consider this scenario: New exception Existing in A match? outcome b 12:34 rw b 12:34 r no exception is accepted Because the new exception has "w" as extra, it doesn't match, so it'll be added to B's exception list. The same problem can happen during a file access check. Consider a cgroup with allow as default behavior: Access Exception match? b 12:34 rw b 12:34 r no In this case, the access didn't match any of the exceptions in the cgroup, which is required since exceptions will disallow access. To solve this problem, two new functions were created to match an exception either fully or partially. In the example above, a partial check will be performed and it'll produce a match since at least "b 12:34 r" from "b 12:34 rw" access matches.

2014-02-08cgroup: clean up cgroup_subsys names and initializationTejun Heo1-6/+2
cgroup_subsys is a bit messier than it needs to be. * The name of a subsys can be different from its internal identifier defined in cgroup_subsys.h. Most subsystems use the matching name but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys. cgroup.h is widely included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier indicating that they belong to cgroup. * cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit silly. This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing the followings. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys. * With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts. All non-matching identifiers are renamed to match the official names. cpu_cgroup -> cpu mem_cgroup -> memory perf -> perf_event * controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name. They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot. * Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed. * While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to WARN()s. BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core").

2013-12-05cgroup: replace cftype->read_seq_string() with cftype->seq_show()Tejun Heo1-4/+3
In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is updated so that it can be easily mapped to kernfs. This patch replaces cftype->read_seq_string() with cftype->seq_show() which is not limited to single_open() operation and will map directcly to kernfs seq_file interface. The conversions are mechanical. As ->seq_show() doesn't have @css and @cft, the functions which make use of them are converted to use seq_css() and seq_cft() respectively. In several occassions, e.f. if it has seq_string in its name, the function name is updated to fit the new method better. This patch does not introduce any behavior changes.

2013-08-08cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends include the origin css in the iterationTejun Heo1-1/+1
Previously, all css descendant iterators didn't include the origin (root of subtree) css in the iteration. The reasons were maintaining consistency with css_for_each_child() and that at the time of introduction more use cases needed skipping the origin anyway; however, given that css_is_descendant() considers self to be a descendant, omitting the origin css has become more confusing and looking at the accumulated use cases rather clearly indicates that including origin would result in simpler code overall. While this is a change which can easily lead to subtle bugs, cgroup API including the iterators has recently gone through major restructuring and no out-of-tree changes will be applicable without adjustments making this a relatively acceptable opportunity for this type of change. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. If the iteration block had explicit origin handling before or after, it's moved inside the iteration. If not, if (pos == origin) continue; is added. Some conversions add extra reference get/put around origin handling by consolidating origin handling and the rest. While the extra ref operations aren't strictly necessary, this shouldn't cause any noticeable difference.

2013-08-08cgroup: make hierarchy iterators deal with cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroupTejun Heo1-8/+3
cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using css (cgroup_subsys_state) as the primary handle instead of cgroup in subsystem API. For hierarchy iterators, this is beneficial because * In most cases, css is the only thing subsystems care about anyway. * On the planned unified hierarchy, iterations for different subsystems will need to skip over different subtrees of the hierarchy depending on which subsystems are enabled on each cgroup. Passing around css makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify the subsystem in question as css is intersection between cgroup and subsystem * For the planned unified hierarchy, css's would need to be created and destroyed dynamically independent from cgroup hierarchy. Having cgroup core manage css iteration makes enforcing deref rules a lot easier. Most subsystem conversions are straight-forward. Noteworthy changes are * blkio: cgroup_to_blkcg() is no longer used.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup. Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods for rationale. This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of @cgroup. cftypes for the cgroup core files don't have their subsytem pointer set.

This will make the code look simpler too once iterators are converted to use css. * memory/vmpressure: mem_cgroup_from_css() needs to be exported to vmpressure while mem_cgroup_from_cont() can be made static.

2013-08-08cgroup: pass around cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup in subsystem methodsTejun Heo1-11/+11
cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup * in subsystem implementations for the following reasons. * With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup, which is different from the current state where all css's are allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup. This in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use. * Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is being performed for. * In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's. Subsystem methods often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't bother with the cgroup pointer itself. Passing around css fits much better. This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of @cgroup. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. A few noteworthy changes are * ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't exist yet. Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing subsystems. * In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css dereference is replaced with local variable access. This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences. v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan. Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too.

2013-08-08cgroup: add css_parent()Tejun Heo1-13/+5
Currently, controllers have to explicitly follow the cgroup hierarchy to find the parent of a given css. cgroup is moving towards using cgroup_subsys_state as the main controller interface construct, so let's provide a way to climb the hierarchy using just csses. This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its parent. The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy. freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent directly. * __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with parent_ca(). The only difference between the two was NULL test on cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the distinction moot. Note that eventually a css->parent field will be added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away. This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

2013-08-08cgroup: add/update accessors which obtain subsys specific data from cssTejun Heo1-1/+1
css (cgroup_subsys_state) is usually embedded in a subsys specific data structure. Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping such cast. As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with css's. All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those cases. While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially optimize out the branch. * blkio, freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct and net_cls didn't have such accessor.

We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename them so that they're less awkward.

Because such config updates need to allocate memory, it couldn't directly use cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() which required the whole iteration to be contained in a single RCU read critical section. To work around the limitation, propagate_exception() built a linked list of descendant cgroups while read-locking RCU and then walked the list afterwards, which is safe as the whole iteration is protected by devcgroup_mutex. This works but is cumbersome. With the recent updates, cgroup iterators now allow dropping RCU read lock while iteration is in progress making this workaround no longer necessary. This patch replaces dev_cgroup->propagate_pending list and get_online_devcg() with direct cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() walk.

2013-03-20devcg: propagate local changes down the hierarchyAristeu Rozanski1-7/+132
This patch makes exception changes to propagate down in hierarchy respecting when possible local exceptions. New exceptions allowing additional access to devices won't be propagated, but it'll be possible to add an exception to access all of part of the newly allowed device(s). New exceptions disallowing access to devices will be propagated down and the local group's exceptions will be revalidated for the new situation. Example: A / \ B group behavior exceptions A allow "b 8:* rwm", "c 116:1 rw" B deny "c 1:3 rwm", "c 116:2 rwm", "b 3:* rwm" If a new exception is added to group A: # echo "c 116:* r" > A/devices.deny it'll propagate down and after revalidating B's local exceptions, the exception "c 116:2 rwm" will be removed. In case parent's exceptions change and local exceptions are not allowed anymore, they'll be deleted. v7: - do not allow behavior change when the cgroup has children - update documentation v6: fixed issues pointed by Serge Hallyn - only copy parent's exceptions while propagating behavior if the local behavior is different - while propagating exceptions, do not clear and copy parent's: it'd be against the premise we don't propagate access to more devices v5: fixed issues pointed by Serge Hallyn - updated documentation - not propagating when an exception is written to devices.allow - when propagating a new behavior, clean the local exceptions list if they're for a different behavior v4: fixed issues pointed by Tejun Heo - separated function to walk the tree and collect valid propagation targets v3: fixed issues pointed by Tejun Heo - update documentation - move css_online/css_offline changes to a new patch - use cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() instead of own descendant walk - move exception_copy rework to a separared patch - move exception_clean rework to a separated patch v2: fixed issues pointed by Tejun Heo - instead of keeping the local settings that won't apply anymore, remove them Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Aristeu Rozanski <aris@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2012-10-06device_cgroup: convert device_cgroup internally to policy + exceptionsAristeu Rozanski1-98/+134
The original model of device_cgroup is having a whitelist where all the allowed devices are listed. The problem with this approach is that is impossible to have the case of allowing everything but few devices. The reason for that lies in the way the whitelist is handled internally: since there's only a whitelist, the "all devices" entry would have to be removed and replaced by the entire list of possible devices but the ones that are being denied. Since dev_t is 32 bits long, representing the allowed devices as a bitfield is not memory efficient. This patch replaces the "whitelist" by a "exceptions" list and the default policy is kept as "deny_all" variable in dev_cgroup structure. The current interface determines that whenever "a" is written to devices.allow or devices.deny, the entry masking all devices will be added or removed, respectively. This behavior is kept and it's what will determine the default policy: # cat devices.list a *:* rwm # echo a >devices.deny # cat devices.list # echo a >devices.allow # cat devices.list a *:* rwm The interface is also preserved. For example, if one wants to block only access to /dev/null: # ls -l /dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jul 24 16:17 /dev/null # echo a >devices.allow # echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.deny # cat /dev/null cat: /dev/null: Operation not permitted # echo >/dev/null bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 r" >devices.allow # cat /dev/null # echo >/dev/null bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 rw" >devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # cat /dev/null # mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # cat /dev/null # mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 # Note that I didn't rename the functions/variables in this patch, but in the next one to make reviewing easier.

2012-09-14cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for themTejun Heo1-0/+9
Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors. These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same hierarchy and obtain sane behavior. Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front. This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of this patch is two-fold. * Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those doesn't surprise them. * Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support. For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder later on. v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated. v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by Glauber. v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that ->create() can affect the result per Michal.

Currently, there's no way to pass multiple tasks to cgroup_subsys methods necessitating the need for separate per-process and per-task methods. This patch introduces cgroup_taskset which can be used to pass multiple tasks and their associated cgroups to cgroup_subsys methods. Three methods - can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() - are converted to use cgroup_taskset. This unifies passed parameters so that all methods have access to all information.

2011-06-20devcgroup_inode_permission: take "is it a device node" checks to inlined wrapperAl Viro1-7/+1
inode_permission() calls devcgroup_inode_permission() and almost all such calls are _not_ for device nodes; let's at least keep the common path straight... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-05-26cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacksBen Blum1-2/+1
Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when attaching an entire threadgroup. Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped (though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to attach_task and attach. This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch. Signed-off-by: Ben Blum <bblum@andrew.cmu.edu> Cc: "Eric W.
