Commit 054aa8d439b9 ("fget: check that the fd still exists after getting a ref to it") fixed a race with getting a reference to a file just as it was being closed. It was a fairly minimal patch, and I didn't think re-checking the file pointer lookup would be a measurable overhead, since it was all right there and cached. But I was wrong, as pointed out by the kernel test robot. The 'poll2' case of the will-it-scale.per_thread_ops benchmark regressed quite noticeably. Admittedly it seems to be a very artificial test: doing "poll()" system calls on regular files in a very tight loop in multiple threads. That means that basically all the time is spent just looking up file descriptors without ever doing anything useful with them (not that doing 'poll()' on a regular file is useful to begin with). And as a result it shows the extra "re-check fd" cost as a sore thumb. Happily, the regression is fixable by just writing the code to loook up the fd to be better and clearer. There's still a cost to verify the file pointer, but now it's basically in the noise even for that benchmark that does nothing else - and the code is more understandable and has better comments too. [ Side note: this patch is also a classic case of one that looks very messy with the default greedy Myers diff - it's much more legible with either the patience of histogram diff algorithm ] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211210053743.GA36420@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211213083154.GA20853@linux.intel.com/ Reported-by: kernel test robot Tested-by: Carel Si Cc: Jann Horn Cc: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- fs/file.c | 72 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 56 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) --- a/fs/file.c +++ b/fs/file.c @@ -841,28 +841,68 @@ void do_close_on_exec(struct files_struc spin_unlock(&files->file_lock); } -static struct file *__fget_files(struct files_struct *files, unsigned int fd, - fmode_t mask, unsigned int refs) +static inline struct file *__fget_files_rcu(struct files_struct *files, + unsigned int fd, fmode_t mask, unsigned int refs) { - struct file *file; + for (;;) { + struct file *file; + struct fdtable *fdt = rcu_dereference_raw(files->fdt); + struct file __rcu **fdentry; - rcu_read_lock(); -loop: - file = files_lookup_fd_rcu(files, fd); - if (file) { - /* File object ref couldn't be taken. - * dup2() atomicity guarantee is the reason - * we loop to catch the new file (or NULL pointer) + if (unlikely(fd >= fdt->max_fds)) + return NULL; + + fdentry = fdt->fd + array_index_nospec(fd, fdt->max_fds); + file = rcu_dereference_raw(*fdentry); + if (unlikely(!file)) + return NULL; + + if (unlikely(file->f_mode & mask)) + return NULL; + + /* + * Ok, we have a file pointer.
