Except we didn't actually use # FMODE_STREAM, but instead used FMODE_ATOMIC_POS. The reason for that # was that FMODE_STREAM didn't exist back in the days, but also that we # didn't want to mark all the special cases, so we only marked the ones # that _required_ position atomicity according to POSIX - regular files # and directories. # # The case one was intentionally lazy, but now that we _do_ have # FMODE_STREAM we could and should just use it. With the change to use # FMODE_STREAM, there are no remaining uses for FMODE_ATOMIC_POS, and all # the code to set it is deleted. # # Any cases where we don't want the serialization because the driver (or # subsystem) doesn't use the file position should just be updated to do # "stream_open()". We've done that for all the obvious and common # situations, we may need a few more. Quoting Kirill Smelkov in the # original FMODE_STREAM thread (see link below for full email): # # "And I appreciate if people could help at least somehow with "getting # rid of mixed case entirely" (i.e. always lock f_pos_lock on # !FMODE_STREAM), because this transition starts to diverge from my # particular use-case too far. To me it makes sense to do that # transition as follows: # # - convert nonseekable_open -> stream_open via stream_open.cocci; # - audit other nonseekable_open calls and convert left users that # truly don't depend on position to stream_open; # - extend stream_open.cocci to analyze alloc_file_pseudo as well (this # will cover pipes and sockets), or maybe convert pipes and sockets # to FMODE_STREAM manually; # - extend stream_open.cocci to analyze file_operations that use # no_llseek or noop_llseek, but do not use nonseekable_open or # alloc_file_pseudo. This might find files that have stream semantic # but are opened differently; # - extend stream_open.cocci to analyze file_operations whose # .read/.write do not use ppos at all (independently of how file was # opened); # - ... # - after that remove FMODE_ATOMIC_POS and always take f_pos_lock if # !FMODE_STREAM; # - gather bug reports for deadlocked read/write and convert missed # cases to FMODE_STREAM, probably extending stream_open.cocci along # the road to catch similar cases # # i.e. always take f_pos_lock unless a file is explicitly marked as # being stream, and try to find and cover all files that are streams" # # We have not done the "extend stream_open.cocci to analyze # alloc_file_pseudo" as well, but the previous commit did manually handle # the case of pipes and sockets. # # The other case where we can avoid locking f_pos is the "this file # descriptor only has a single user and it is us, and thus there is no # need to lock it". # # The second test was correct, although a bit subtle and worth just # re-iterating here. There are two kinds of other sources of references # to the same file descriptor: file descriptors that have been explicitly # shared across fork() or with dup(), and file tables having elevated # reference counts due to threading (or explicit file sharing with # clone()). # # The first case would have incremented the file count explicitly, and in # the second case the previous __fdget() would have incremented it for us # and set the FDPUT_FPUT flag. # # But in both cases the file count would be greater than one, so the # "file_count(file) > 1" test catches both situations. Also note that if # file_count is 1, that also means that no other thread can have access to # the file table, so there also cannot be races with concurrent calls to # dup()/fork()/clone() that would increment the file count any other way. # # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20190413184404.GA13490@deco.navytux.spb.ru # Cc: Kirill Smelkov <kirr@nexedi.com> # Cc: Eic Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> # Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> # Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> # Cc: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> # Cc: Andrea Parri <parri.andrea@gmail.com> # Cc: Paul McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 0be0ee71816b2b6725e2b4f32ad6726c9d729777 # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=arm O=/kisskb/build/linus_ebsa110_defconfig_arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi- ebsa110_defconfig # make -s -j 48 ARCH=arm O=/kisskb/build/linus_ebsa110_defconfig_arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi- /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c: In function 'devkmsg_sysctl_set_loglvl': /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c:204:16: warning: 'old' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/proc/inode.c: In function 'proc_reg_open': /kisskb/src/include/linux/list.h:65:12: warning: 'pdeo' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/proc/inode.c:338:21: note: 'pdeo' was declared here Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_ebsa110_defconfig_arm # Build took: 0:00:34.200343
