We walk # those bitmaps in chunks of 'unsigned long' in serveral cases, but even # when we don't, we use the regular kernel bitops that are defined to work # on arrays of 'unsigned long', not on some byte array. # # Now, the distinction between arrays of bytes and 'unsigned long' # normally only really ends up being noticeable on big-endian systems, but # Fedor Pchelkin and Alexey Khoroshilov reported that copy_fd_bitmaps() # could be called with an argument that wasn't even a multiple of # BITS_PER_BYTE. And then it fails to do the proper copy even on # little-endian machines. # # The bug wasn't in copy_fd_bitmap(), but in sane_fdtable_size(), which # didn't actually sanitize the fdtable size sufficiently, and never made # sure it had the proper BITS_PER_LONG alignment. # # That's partly because the alignment historically came not from having to # explicitly align things, but simply from previous fdtable sizes, and # from count_open_files(), which counts the file descriptors by walking # them one 'unsigned long' word at a time and thus naturally ends up doing # sizing in the proper 'chunks of unsigned long'. # # But with the introduction of close_range(), we now have an external # source of "this is how many files we want to have", and so # sane_fdtable_size() needs to do a better job. # # This also adds that explicit alignment to alloc_fdtable(), although # there it is mainly just for documentation at a source code level. The # arithmetic we do there to pick a reasonable fdtable size already aligns # the result sufficiently. # # In fact,clang notices that the added ALIGN() in that function doesn't # actually do anything, and does not generate any extra code for it. # # It turns out that gcc ends up confusing itself by combining a previous # constant-sized shift operation with the variable-sized shift operations # in roundup_pow_of_two(). And probably due to that doesn't notice that # the ALIGN() is a no-op. But that's a (tiny) gcc misfeature that doesn't # matter. Having the explicit alignment makes sense, and would actually # matter on a 128-bit architecture if we ever go there. # # This also adds big comments above both functions about how fdtable sizes # have to have that BITS_PER_LONG alignment. # # Fixes: 60997c3d45d9 ("close_range: add CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE") # Reported-by: Fedor Pchelkin # Reported-by: Alexey Khoroshilov # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220326114009.1690-1-aissur0002@gmail.com/ # Tested-and-acked-by: Christian Brauner # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 1c24a186398f59c80adb9a967486b65c1423a59d # < make -s -j 8 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- defconfig # < make -s -j 8 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- help # make -s -j 8 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 8 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc8 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-8.1.0-nolibc/mips-linux/bin/mips-linux- /kisskb/src/arch/mips/boot/dts/img/boston.dts:128.19-178.5: Warning (pci_device_reg): /pci@14000000/pci2_root@0,0,0: PCI unit address format error, expected "0,0" Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_mips-defconfig_mips-gcc8 # Build took: 0:02:52.461842
