RFC 1/1 fs, proc: Introduce the /proc/<pid>/map_files/ directory v2

From: Pavel Emelyanov <[email protected]>

This one behaves similarly to the /proc/<pid>/fd/ one - it contains symlinks one for each mapping with file, the name of a symlink is vma->vm_start, the target is the file. Opening a symlink results in a file that point exactly to the same inode as them vma's one.

This thing is aimed to help checkpointing processes.

For example the ls -l of some arbitrary /proc/<pid>/map_files/

v2:
- /proc/<pid>/mfd changed to /proc/<pid>/map_files
- find_vma helper is used instead of linear search
- routines are re-grouped
- .d_revalidate is set now

Please review. This is a part of previous c/r patchset as well but I guess it might be treated separately.

Objections, complains, comments are highly appreciated!

OK, but you really should explain _how_ this will help with checkpointing.

OK, but you really should explain _how_ this will help with checkpointing.

This helps in three ways:

1. When dumping a task mappings we do know exact file that is mapped by particular region. We do this by opening /proc/pid/map_files/address symlink the way we do with file descriptors.

2. This also helps in determining which anonymous shared mappings are shared with each other by comparing the inodes of them.

3. When restoring a set of process in case two of them has a mapping shared, we map the memory by the 1st one and then open its /proc/pid/map_files/address file and map it by the 2nd task.

Why pid_revalidate? Shouldn't it be verifying the entry against the current vmas? vmas (of course) can change while the process is running.

Thanks.

Yes, Tejun, we need an own revalidate here! So'll update the patch anyway (will put Pavel's comments into changelog). I somehow forgot in first place that this entries might be referred even if process is not stopped. Thanks for chatching it!

This helps checkpointing process in three ways:

1. When dumping a task mappings we do know exact file that is mapped by particular region. We do this by opening /proc/pid/map_files/address symlink the way we do with file descriptors.

2. This also helps in determining which anonymous shared mappings are shared with each other by comparing the inodes of them.

3. When restoring a set of process in case two of them has a mapping shared, we map the memory by the 1st one and then open its /proc/pid/map_files/address file and map it by the 2nd task.

v2:
- /proc/<pid>/mfd changed to /proc/<pid>/map_files
- find_vma helper is used instead of linear search
- routines are re-grouped
- d_revalidate is set now

v3:
- d_revalidate reworked, now it should drops no longer valid dentries
- ptrace_may_access added into proc_map_files_lookup
- because of filldir (which eventually might need to lock mmap_sem) the proc_map_files_readdir() was reworked to call proc_fill_cache() with unlocked mmap_sem

So Pavel, we can make the names to look as say "3d73a00000-3d73a01000" leaving proc-inode structure unchanged, that's an idea, right?

Not exactly - as I said if we leave the name without 0x (3d000000 instead of 0x3d000000) this makes it hard to use strtol() on these strings to convert names to addresses.

Not big deal, just my 5 cents on the "leaving links' names as is" side.

That's ok. Tejun, i'll think a bit more (probably tomorrow already, since I'll be reworking it and adding a check for permissions nit you've pointed) and will check if there is a nice way to make the names longer ;)

This will force us to bloat proc_inode a bit more, since at moment we have a union such as

struct proc_inode {
	struct pid *pid;
	union {
		int fd;
		unsigned long vm_start;
	};
	...

also it will require to make a buffer for names twice bigger as well. If all this not a problem -- then sure we can do that ;)

I'm not too familiar with this area but I don't think bloating it a bit would be such a big problem. proc_inode is generated on the fly as proc directories and files are accessed, so it's not like they'll linearly hog down more memory with increasing number of entries (sysfs had this sort of problem in the past).

Another thing is, I don't really see why we need vm_start, or fd for that matter, in proc_inode at all. proc_inode is created on the fly only as dentry gets instantiated on demand, which means we always have d_name on hand to tell what the file is supposed to point to. In fact, the code already uses name_to_int() to extract fd from d_name. Hmmm... well yeah, it actually seems that proc_inode->fd is never used and we can simply remove it.

So, we can do the same thing w/ these mapping files too. We just need name_to_map_range() or something. Also, for most address ranges, the name sould fit inside the inline name in dentry (32 bytes on 64bit), so it really isn't gonna bloat anything.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, not quite as easy as I expected. The information still seems redundant but it seems we'll need to change proc_inode->get_link() to take dentry instead of inode before doing away with proc_inode->fd, but, at any rate, I don't think this is a big deal one way or the other.

Hohum... picking up an additional reference to dentry might be dangerous I think. How exactly you imagine we would do that? (without this problem I guess we indeed may drop or rather not change proc-inode).

Why would you need an extra reference? All these data structures are created dynamically on access and dentry is always available while any operation on the inode is in progress so it's guaranteed to be available and there's no reason to diddle with reference count. Anyways, we can deal with this optimization later, I think.

Hi, thanks a huge for all feedback! Mind to give the below one a review shot? Hope this time I've addressed all concerns. Thanks. (please check map_files_d_revalidate() precisely). Complains are welcome, as always.

fs, proc: Introduce the /proc/<pid>/map_files/ directory v4

This one behaves similarly to the /proc/<pid>/fd/ one - it contains symlinks one for each mapping with file, the name of a symlink is "vma->vm_start-vma->vm_end", the target is the file. Opening a symlink results in a file that point exactly to the same inode as them vma's one.

For example the ls -l of some arbitrary /proc/<pid>/map_files/

 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80403000-7f8f80404000 -> /lib64/libc-2.5.so
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f8061e000-7f8f80620000 -> /lib64/libselinux.so.1
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80826000-7f8f80827000 -> /lib64/libacl.so.1.1.0

 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80a30000-7f8f80a4c000 -> /lib64/ld-2.5.so

This helps checkpointing process in three ways:

1. When dumping a task mappings we do know exact file that is mapped by particular region. We do this by opening /proc/pid/map_files/address symlink the way we do with file descriptors.

2. This also helps in determining which anonymous shared mappings are shared with each other by comparing the inodes of them.

3. When restoring a set of process in case two of them has a mapping shared, we map the memory by the 1st one and then open its /proc/pid/map_files/address file and map it by the 2nd task.

v2: (spotted by Tejun Heo)
- /proc/<pid>/mfd changed to /proc/<pid>/map_files
- find_vma helper is used instead of linear search
- routines are re-grouped
- d_revalidate is set now

v3:
- d_revalidate reworked, now it should drops no longer valid dentries (Tejun Heo)
- ptrace_may_access added into proc_map_files_lookup (Vasiliy Kulikov)
- because of filldir (which eventually might need to lock mmap_sem) the proc_map_files_readdir() was reworked to call proc_fill_cache() with unlocked mmap_sem

v4: (feedback by Tejun Heo and Vasiliy Kulikov)
- instead of saving data in proc_inode we rather make a dentry name to keep both vm_start and vm_end accordingly
- d_revalidate now honor task credentials

Why would you need an extra reference? All these data structures are created dynamically on access and dentry is always available while any operation on the inode is in progress so it's guaranteed to be available and there's no reason to diddle with reference count. Anyways, we can deal with this optimization later, I think.

Hi, thanks a huge for all feedback! Mind to give the below one a review shot? Hope this time I've addressed all concerns. Thanks. (please check map_files_d_revalidate() precisely). Complains are welcome, as always.

fs, proc: Introduce the /proc/<pid>/map_files/ directory v4

This one behaves similarly to the /proc/<pid>/fd/ one - it contains symlinks one for each mapping with file, the name of a symlink is "vma->vm_start-vma->vm_end", the target is the file. Opening a symlink results in a file that point exactly to the same inode as them vma's one.

For example the ls -l of some arbitrary /proc/<pid>/map_files/

 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80403000-7f8f80404000 -> /lib64/libc-2.5.so
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f8061e000-7f8f80620000 -> /lib64/libselinux.so.1
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80826000-7f8f80827000 -> /lib64/libacl.so.1.1.0
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80a2f000-7f8f80a30000 -> /lib64/librt-2.5.so
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80a30000-7f8f80a4c000 -> /lib64/ld-2.5.so

This helps checkpointing process in three ways:

1. When dumping a task mappings we do know exact file that is mapped by particular region. We do this by opening /proc/pid/map_files/address symlink the way we do with file descriptors.

2. This also helps in determining which anonymous shared mappings are shared with each other by comparing the inodes of them.

3. When restoring a set of process in case two of them has a mapping shared, we map the memory by the 1st one and then open its /proc/pid/map_files/address file and map it by the 2nd task.

v2: (spotted by Tejun Heo)
- /proc/<pid>/mfd changed to /proc/<pid>/map_files
- find_vma helper is used instead of linear search
- routines are re-grouped
- d_revalidate is set now

v3:
- d_revalidate reworked, now it should drops no longer valid dentries (Tejun Heo)
- ptrace_may_access added into proc_map_files_lookup (Vasiliy Kulikov)
- because of filldir (which eventually might need to lock mmap_sem) the proc_map_files_readdir() was reworked to call proc_fill_cache() with unlocked mmap_sem

v4: (feedback by Tejun Heo and Vasiliy Kulikov)
- instead of saving data in proc_inode we rather make a dentry name to keep both vm_start and vm_end accordingly
- d_revalidate now honor task credentials

Put proc_get_link() change in separate patch?

Will do, but let leave it to a final pass, ie when all get agreed on idea and details, ok? Since I'll be re-sending the final version seraparely anyway.

So the final (I hope) version is the below. Please check it. If all get agreed on it I'll split it up and resend later. Sorry for such massive change in one patch.

fs, proc: Introduce the /proc/<pid>/map_files/ directory v5

This one behaves similarly to the /proc/<pid>/fd/ one - it contains symlinks one for each mapping with file, the name of a symlink is "vma->vm_start-vma->vm_end", the target is the file. Opening a symlink results in a file that point exactly to the same inode as them vma's one.

For example the ls -l of some arbitrary /proc/<pid>/map_files/

 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80403000-7f8f80404000 -> /lib64/libc-2.5.so
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f8061e000-7f8f80620000 -> /lib64/libselinux.so.1
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80826000-7f8f80827000 -> /lib64/libacl.so.1.1.0
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80a2f000-7f8f80a30000 -> /lib64/librt-2.5.so
 | lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Aug 26 06:40 7f8f80a30000-7f8f80a4c000 -> /lib64/ld-2.5.so

This helps checkpointing process in three ways:

1. When dumping a task mappings we do know exact file that is mapped by particular region. We do this by opening /proc/pid/map_files/address symlink the way we do with file descriptors.

2. This also helps in determining which anonymous shared mappings are shared with each other by comparing the inodes of them.

3. When restoring a set of process in case two of them has a mapping shared, we map the memory by the 1st one and then open its /proc/pid/map_files/address file and map it by the 2nd task.

v2: (spotted by Tejun Heo)
- /proc/<pid>/mfd changed to /proc/<pid>/map_files
- find_vma helper is used instead of linear search
- routines are re-grouped
- d_revalidate is set now

v3:
- d_revalidate reworked, now it should drops no longer valid dentries (Tejun Heo)
- ptrace_may_access added into proc_map_files_lookup (Vasiliy Kulikov)
- because of filldir (which eventually might need to lock mmap_sem) the proc_map_files_readdir() was reworked to call proc_fill_cache() with unlocked mmap_sem

v4: (feedback by Tejun Heo and Vasiliy Kulikov)
- instead of saving data in proc_inode we rather make a dentry name to keep both vm_start and vm_end accordingly
- d_revalidate now honor task credentials

v5: (feedback by Kirill A. Shutemov)
- don't forget to release mmap_sem on error path

I don't think it's necessary to pass around both @dentry and @inode. @inode can always be dereferenced from @dentry.

Another minor point. Maybe it would be nice to factor this into a function and share it w/ the fd one (and maybe sprinkle some comments while at it too :)

I think we can just put this on stack.

All my comments are pretty cosmetic, so it generally looks good to me. Andrew, what do you think?

We can use 4 * sizeof(unsigned long) + 2 for name to save a bit on 32 bit architectures.

BTW, show_map_vma() uses "%08lx-%08lx" to print ->start, ->end. I think it's good idea to use this here as well to be consistent with /proc/$PID/{s,}maps

I'm not too sure about this one. First of all, I think %08lx is more of an accident than intention (just forgot to update it while transitioning to 64bit) and when ls'd the output can be a bit messy without leading 0's, but again my opinion here isn't very strong.

Thanks.

Hmm... don't we need the same credential update as tid_fd_revalidate()? If the task seteuid's, we want the permissions to change accordingly, right?

Exactly! Thanks Tejun. I'll be reworking it anyway (acoording to what we decide to do with start-end range in names).

Don't think so, it should point that permission failed rather no such entry. Or this might break some tools?

I mean the place exactly where I've put it to indicate simple_strtoul(), get_task_mm(), or find_exact_vma() error. EPERM for ptrace_may_access() is OK.

Ah, yeah! ENOENT is really would be correct option here, will fix in next iteration, thanks a huge for spotting it!

This one behaves similarly to the /proc/<pid>/fd/ one - it contains symlinks one for each mapping with file, the name of a symlink is vma->vm_start, the target is the file. Opening a symlink results in a file that point exactly to the same inode as them vma's one.

Just curious: How do these symlinks work when the process reading a /proc file is in a chroot or a different namespace?

For example, a chroot environment might have independent copies of /lib64/ld-2.5.so and a bind mount of /proc. Does the symlink then point to the wrong file?

No and this is the trick - when you readlink it - it give you trash, but when you open one - you get exactly the same file as the map points to.

Isn't that a minor security hole?

For example if I pass a file descriptor into a chroot process for reading, and with this interface you can open it for writing too. I could see this causing problems.

We have ptrace_may_access in lookup so I don't think you'll be able to open it from another namespace or/and if you have not enough credentials to.

To be fair, I personally didn't tried such scenario but it should be the same behaviour as for /proc/$pid/fd since data is taken from a task pointed by pid. I'll check though, good question.

Is it good idea security-wise? It looks like symlink but does not behave like one. (And yes, I know we already have similar problems in /proc..)

ptrace-may-trace is not good enough protection; I can do this on my own thread to get around read-only protection on fd. (File can be protected from me by directory permissions.)

I think this issue worth separate discussion and if it turns out there is a problem with that we can fix it together with /proc/pid/fd and other stuff.
