[PATCH -mm 0/7][AIO] - AIO completion signal notification v6

[Sébastien Dugué]

  Hi Andrew,

  here is the latest rework of the aio notification and listio support
patches with comments from Oleg Nesterov and you addressed.

  Sébastien.

  This set now consists in 7 patches:

	1. rework-compat-sys-io-submit: cleanup the sys_io_submit() compat layer,
	   making it more efficient and laying out the base for the following patches

	2. aio-header-fix-includes: fixes the double inclusion of uio.h in aio.h

	3. aio-fix-access_ok-check: fixes the access_ok() checks

	4. make-good_sigevent-non-static: move good_sigevent into signal.c, rename
	   it to something more meaningfull and make it non-static

	5. make-__sigqueue_alloc-free-non-static: make __sigqueue_alloc() and
	   __sigqueue_free() non static

	6. aio-notify-sig: the AIO completion signal notification

	7. add-listio-syscall-support: adds listio support via a new syscall

  Description are in the individual patches.


  Changes from v5: based on comments from Oleg Nesterov and Andrew Morton

	- Fix for signo range not checked in the SIGEV_THREAD_ID case in
	  good_sigevent()
	- renamed good_sigevent() to sigevent_find_task()

	- Fixed the access_ok checks in sys_io_submit() and
	  compat_sys_io_submit()

	- Made __sigqueue_alloc() and __sigqueue_free() non static
	- Reworked the aio code to directly use __sigqueue_alloc() and
	  __sigqueue_free() and avoid messing with SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC

	- Removed the unneeded PF_EXITING check in aio_setup_sigevent()
	- Added a comment in aio_setup_sigevent() for why there is no task
	  ref leak
	- Changed read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to rcu_read_lock() in
	  aio_setup_sigevent()

	- Fixed an ioctx reference leak in compat_sys_lio_submit()
	- Renamed lio_check() as lio_notify()
	- Added comments to lio_notify() and lio_create()
	- Replaced sigqueue_free() by __sigqueue_free() in lio_notify()

  Changes from v4:
	No comments received for v4, so it must be perfect ;-)
	replaced the IOCB_CMD_GROUP listio implementation with Bharata's
	syscall approach which I find much cleaner.

  Changes from v3:

	- added justification for the compat_sys_io_submit() cleanup - Zach Brown
	- more cleanups in compat_sys_io_submit() to put it in line with
	  sys_io_submit() - Zach Brown

	- Changed "Export good_sigevent()" patch name to "Make good_sigevent()
	  non-static" to better describe what it does. - Christoph Hellwig
	- Reworked good_sigevent() to make it more readable. - Christoph Hellwig

	- Simplified the use of the SIGEV_* constants in signal notification -
	  Christoph Hellwig
	- Take a reference on the target task both for the SIGEV_THREAD_ID and
	  SIGEV_SIGNAL cases.

  Changes from v2:
	- rebased to 2.6.19-rc6-mm2
	- reworked the sys_io_submit() compat layer as suggested by Zach Brown
	- fixed saving of a pointer to a task struct in aio-notify-sig as
	  pointed out by Andrew Morton

  Changes from v1:
	- cleanups suggested by Christoph Hellwig, Badari Pulavarty and
	Zach Brown
	- added lisio patch

[PATCH -mm 1/7][AIO] - Rework compat_sys_io_submit

[Sébastien Dugué]

From: Sébastien Dugué <sebastien.dugue@bull.net>

                 compat_sys_io_submit() cleanup


  Cleanup compat_sys_io_submit by duplicating some of the native syscall
logic in the compat layer and directly calling io_submit_one() instead
of fooling the syscall into thinking it is called from a native 64-bit
caller.

  This eliminates:

  - the overhead of copying the nr iocb pointers on the userspace stack

  - the PAGE_SIZE/(sizeof(void *)) limit on the number of iocbs that
    can be submitted.

  This is also needed for the completion notification patch to avoid having
to rewrite each iocb on the caller stack for io_submit_one() to find the
sigevents.

[PATCH -mm 3/7][AIO] - Fix access_ok() checks

[Sébastien Dugué]

From: Sébastien Dugué <sebastien.dugue@bull.net>

                   Fix access_ok() checks in sys_io_submit() and 
                            compat_sys_io_submit()


  sys_io_submit() and compat_sys_io_submit() check for the number of
requests (nr) being positive, but the following access_ok() call uses
nr * sizeof(ptr) which can overlow to a negative number.

  Just make sure that nr * sizeof(ptr) is positive in the first place.

[PATCH -mm 6/7][AIO] - AIO completion signal notification

[Sébastien Dugué]

From: Sébastien Dugué <sebastien.dugue@bull.net>

                      AIO completion signal notification

  The current 2.6 kernel does not support notification of user space via
an RT signal upon an asynchronous IO completion. The POSIX specification
states that when an AIO request completes, a signal can be delivered to
the application as notification.

  This patch adds a struct sigevent *aio_sigeventp to the iocb.
The relevant fields (pid, signal number and value) are stored in the kiocb
for use when the request completes.

  That sigevent structure is filled by the application as part of the AIO
request preparation. Upon request completion, the kernel notifies the
application using those sigevent parameters. If SIGEV_NONE has been specified,
then the old behaviour is retained and the application must rely on polling
the completion queue using io_getevents().


  A struct sigevent *aio_sigeventp field is added to struct iocb in
include/linux/aio_abi.h

  A struct aio_notify containing the sigevent parameters is defined in aio.h:

  struct aio_notify {
	struct task_struct	*target;
	__u16			signo;
	__u16			notify;
	sigval_t		value;
  };

  A struct aio_notify ki_notify is added to struct kiocb in include/linux/aio.h

  In io_submit_one(), if the application provided a sigevent then
aio_setup_sigevent() is called which does the following:

	- check access to the user sigevent and make a local copy

	- if the requested notification is SIGEV_NONE, then nothing to do

	- fill in the kiocb->ki_notify fields (notify, signo, value)

	- check sigevent consistency, get the signal target task and
	  save it in kiocb->ki_notify.target

	- preallocate a sigqueue for this event using __sigqueue_alloc()

  Upon request completion, in aio_complete(), if notification is needed for
this request (iocb->ki_notify.notify != SIGEV_NONE), then aio_send_signal()
is called to signal the target task as follows:

	- fill in the siginfo struct to be sent to the task

	- if notify is SIGEV_THREAD_ID then send signal to specific task
	  using send_sigqueue()

	- else send signal to task group using send_5group_sigqueue()



Notes concerning sigqueue preallocation:

 To ensure reliable delivery of completion notification, the sigqueue is
preallocated in the submission path so that there is no chance it can fail
in the completion path.

 Unlike the posix-timers case (currently the single other user of sigqueue
preallocation), where the sigqueue is allocated for the lifetime of the timer
and freed at timer destruction time, the aio case is a bit more tricky due to
the async nature of the whole thing.

  In the aio case, the sigqueue exists for the lifetime of the request, therefore
it must be freed only once the signal for the request completion has been
delivered.  The sigqueue is therefore freed by the signal delivery mechanism
when the signal is collected. The aio submission and completion error paths
do an explicit __sigqueue_free() to free the sigqueue.

[PATCH -mm 7/7][AIO] - Add listio syscall support

[Sébastien Dugué]

From: Bharata B Rao <bharata@in.ibm.com>

This patch provides POSIX listio support by means of a new system call.

long lio_submit(aio_context_t ctx_id, int mode, long nr,
	struct iocb __user * __user *iocbpp, struct sigevent __user *event)

This system call is similar to the io_submit() system call, but takes
two more arguments.

'mode' argument can be LIO_WAIT or LIO_NOWAIT.

'event' argument specifies the signal notification mechanism.

This patch is built on support provided by the aio signal notification
patch by Sebastien. The following two structures together provide
the support for grouping iocbs belonging to a list (lio).

struct aio_notify {
	struct task_struct	*target;
	__u16			signo;
	__u16			notify;
	sigval_t		value;
	struct sigqueue		*sigq;
};

struct lio_event {
	atomic_t		lio_users;
	struct aio_notify	lio_notify;
};

A single lio_event struct is maintained for the list of iocbs.
lio_users holds the number of requests attached to this lio and lio_notify
has the necessary information for generating completion notification
signal.

If the mode is LIO_WAIT, the event argument is ignored and the system
call waits until all the requests of the lio are completed.

If the mode is LIO_NOWAIT, the system call returns immediately after
submitting the io requests and may optionally notify the process on
list io completion depending on the event argument.

I am afraid this is still not right. Consider

	->sigev_notify == SIGEV_THREAD_ID | RANDOM_BIT

Now, the second "if (SIGEV_THREAD_ID)" returns a valid task. However,

	really_put_req:

		if (notify == SIGEV_THREAD_ID || notify == SIGEV_SIGNAL)
			put_task_struct();

doesn't work, so we have task_struct leak.

Worse, this breaks posix-timers. Note that posix-timers allow SIGEV_NONE,
the timer is not queued in that case, we shouldn't do ->sigev_signo check.
This means that aio should check SIGEV_NONE itself.

Also, it is critical for posix-timers that SIGEV_THREAD_ID doesn't come
with another bit (like in the example below), note the code like

	if (sigev_notify == (SIGEV_SIGNAL|SIGEV_THREAD_ID))
		...

IOW: good_sigevent() in its current form is very cryptic, and it _really_
needs a cleanup, but we should not change its behaviour.

Apart from this, I don't see other problems in the signal related code in
this series.

Oleg.

  Right, I'll revert back to the old code with cleanups.

  Yep. I must admit that I didn't pay enough attention to this 10-liner,
but in the end it rightfully backfired on me.

[PATCH -mm 4/7][AIO] Resend - Make good_sigevent() non-static

[Sébastien Dugué]

  Andrew,

  Could you replace make-good_sigevent-non-static.patch with this
patch, as it fixes some problems reported by Oleg Nesterov.

  Oleg, chime in if you still see something I missed.

  Hopefully I will have gotten it right this time.

  Sorry for the hassle.

  Sébastien.


From: Sébastien Dugué <sebastien.dugue@bull.net>

                Make good_sigevent() non-static and rename it


  Move good_sigevent() from posix-timers.c to signal.c where it belongs,
clean it up, rename it to sigevent_find_task() to better describe what the
function does and make it non-static so that it can be used by other
 subsystems.

I think this patch is correct, and the code is much more readable than
the old good_sigevet().

But please don't forget that PATCH 6/7 still needs a small fixup, we can
leak a task_struct in really_put_req()

		if (notify == SIGEV_THREAD_ID || notify == SIGEV_SIGNAL)
			put_task_struct(req->ki_notify.target);

because without SIGEV_THREAD_ID ->sigev_notify can have any bit/bits set,
even SIGEV_NONE (along with some other bit, aio_setup_sigevent checks for
== SIGEV_NONE).

Oleg.

[PATCH -mm][AIO] Fix AIO completion signal notification possible ref leak

[Sébastien Dugué]

  Andrew,

  here is an incremental patch to fix a possible ref leak when users
do weird things with the ->sigev_notify flags.

  Thanks Oleg for spotting this.

         Fix AIO completion signal notification possible ref leak

  Make sure we only accept valid sigev_notify values in aio_setup_sigevent(),

I think this is correct, but I have another concern (most probably I just
confused looking at non-applied patch), could you re-check?

Ok. But what if sigevent_find_task() fails after that? Doesn't this mean
that really_put_req() will do put_task_struct(NULL) ?

Very minor nit, feel free to ignore.

Isn't it better to move "notify->* = event.*;" down, when we know that
target != NULL. Imho, a bit easier to follow. This way we don't need to
reset notify->notify = SIGEV_NONE.

aio_setup_sigevent() relies on the fact that ->notify = SIGEV_NONE on
entry anyway.

Oleg.

  Yep, right, it will make things cleaner.
