Since one caller # doesn't hold that lock, it further then tests 'sigqueue_flags' to avoid # the case with no locks held. # # On the freeing side (in sigqueue_cache_or_free()), there is no locking # at all, and the logic instead depends on 'current' being a single # thread, and not able to race with itself. # # To make things more exciting, there's also the data race between freeing # a signal and allocating one, which is handled by using WRITE_ONCE() and # READ_ONCE(), and being mutually exclusive wrt the initial state (ie # freeing will only free if the old state was NULL, while allocating will # obviously only use the value if it was non-NULL, so only one or the # other will actually act on the value). # # However, while the free->alloc paths do seem mutually exclusive thanks # to just the data value dependency, it's not clear what the memory # ordering constraints are on it. Could writes from the previous # allocation possibly be delayed and seen by the new allocation later, # causing logical inconsistencies? # # So it's all very exciting and unusual. # # And in particular, it seems that the freeing side is incorrect in # depending on "current" being single-threaded. Yes, 'current' is a # single thread, but in the presense of asynchronous events even a single # thread can have data races. # # And such asynchronous events can and do happen, with interrupts causing # signals to be flushed and thus free'd (for example - sending a # SIGCONT/SIGSTOP can happen from interrupt context, and can flush # previously queued process control signals). # # So regardless of all the other questions about the memory ordering and # locking for this new cached allocation, the sigqueue_cache_or_free() # assumptions seem to be fundamentally incorrect. # # It may be that people will show me the errors of my ways, and tell me # why this is all safe after all. We can reinstate it if so. But my # current belief is that the WRITE_ONCE() that sets the cached entry needs # to be a smp_store_release(), and the READ_ONCE() that finds a cached # entry needs to be a smp_load_acquire() to handle memory ordering # correctly. # # And the sequence in sigqueue_cache_or_free() would need to either use a # lock or at least be interrupt-safe some way (perhaps by using something # like the percpu 'cmpxchg': it doesn't need to be SMP-safe, but like the # percpu operations it needs to be interrupt-safe). # # Fixes: 399f8dd9a866 ("signal: Prevent sigqueue caching after task got released") # Fixes: 4bad58ebc8bc ("signal: Allow tasks to cache one sigqueue struct") # Cc: Thomas Gleixner # Cc: Peter Zijlstra # Cc: Oleg Nesterov # Cc: Christian Brauner # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-xtensa-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/xtensa-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-xtensa-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/xtensa-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 b4b27b9eed8ebdbf9f3046197d29d733c8c944f3 # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=xtensa O=/kisskb/build/linus_xtensa-allmodconfig_xtensa CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-xtensa-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/xtensa-linux- allmodconfig # Added to kconfig CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=n # Added to kconfig CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=n # Added to kconfig CONFIG_SAMPLES=n # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=xtensa O=/kisskb/build/linus_xtensa-allmodconfig_xtensa CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-xtensa-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/xtensa-linux- help # make -s -j 32 ARCH=xtensa O=/kisskb/build/linus_xtensa-allmodconfig_xtensa CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-xtensa-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/xtensa-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 32 ARCH=xtensa O=/kisskb/build/linus_xtensa-allmodconfig_xtensa CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-xtensa-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/xtensa-linux- In file included from /kisskb/src/arch/xtensa/include/asm/atomic.h:19:0, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/atomic.h:7, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/page_counter.h:5, from /kisskb/src/mm/memcontrol.c:28: /kisskb/src/mm/memcontrol.c: In function 'memcg_reparent_objcgs': /kisskb/src/arch/xtensa/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:173:3: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value] ((__typeof__(*(ptr)))__xchg((unsigned long)(x),(ptr),sizeof(*(ptr)))) ^ /kisskb/src/mm/memcontrol.c:334:2: note: in expansion of macro 'xchg' xchg(&objcg->memcg, parent); ^ /kisskb/src/arch/xtensa/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:173:3: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value] ((__typeof__(*(ptr)))__xchg((unsigned long)(x),(ptr),sizeof(*(ptr)))) ^ /kisskb/src/mm/memcontrol.c:341:3: note: in expansion of macro 'xchg' xchg(&iter->memcg, parent); ^ In file included from /kisskb/src/arch/xtensa/include/asm/atomic.h:19:0, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/atomic.h:7, from /kisskb/src/include/asm-generic/bitops/atomic.h:5, from /kisskb/src/arch/xtensa/include/asm/bitops.h:192, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/bitops.h:32, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/kernel.h:12, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/list.h:9, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/wait.h:7, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/wait_bit.h:8, from /kisskb/src/include/linux/fs.h:6, from /kisskb/src/fs/ocfs2/file.c:11: /kisskb/src/fs/ocfs2/file.c: In function 'ocfs2_file_write_iter': /kisskb/src/arch/xtensa/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:173:3: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value] ((__typeof__(*(ptr)))__xchg((unsigned long)(x),(ptr),sizeof(*(ptr)))) ^ /kisskb/src/fs/ocfs2/file.c:2468:3: note: in expansion of macro 'xchg' xchg(&iocb->ki_complete, saved_ki_complete); ^ /kisskb/src/drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/cdn-dp-core.c:1124:12: warning: 'cdn_dp_resume' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] static int cdn_dp_resume(struct device *dev) ^ /kisskb/src/drivers/input/joystick/analog.c:160:2: warning: #warning Precise timer not defined for this architecture.
