Subject: [PATCH 00/10] Cover letter: fix a race in release_task when flushing the dentry
The dentries such as /proc/<pid>/ns/ have the DCACHE_OP_DELETE flag, they
should be deleted when the process exits.
Suppose the following race appears：
release_task dput
-> proc_flush_task
-> dentry->d_op->d_delete(dentry)
-> __exit_signal
-> dentry->d_lockref.count-- and return.
In the proc_flush_task(), if another process is using this dentry, it will
not be deleted. At the same time, in dput(), d_op->d_delete() can be executed
before __exit_signal(pid has not been hashed), d_delete returns false, so
this dentry still cannot be deleted.
This dentry will always be cached (although its count is 0 and the
DCACHE_OP_DELETE flag is set), its parent denry will also be cached too, and
these dentries can only be deleted when drop_caches is manually triggered.
This will result in wasted memory. What's more troublesome is that these
dentries reference pid, according to the commit f333c700c610 ("pidns: Add a
limit on the number of pid namespaces"), if the pid cannot be released, it
may result in the inability to create a new pid_ns.
This problem occurred in our cluster environment (Linux 4.9 LTS).
We could reproduce it by manually constructing a test program + adding some
debugging switches in the kernel:
* A test program to open the directory (/proc/<pid>/ns) [1]
* Adding some debugging switches to the kernel, adding a delay between
proc_flush_task and __exit_signal in release_task() [2]
The test process is as follows:
A, terminal #1
Turn on the debug switch:
echo 1> /proc/sys/vm/dentry_debug_trace
Execute the following unshare command:
sudo unshare --pid --fork --mount-proc bash
B, terminal #2
Find the pid of the unshare process:
# pstree -p | grep unshare
| `-sshd(716)---bash(718)--sudo(816)---unshare(817)---bash(818)
Find the corresponding dentry:
# dmesg | grep pid=818
[70.424722] XXX proc_pid_instantiate:3119 pid=818 tid=818 entry=818/ffff8802c7b670e8
C, terminal #3
Execute the opendir program, it will always open the /proc/818/ns/ directory:
# ./a.out /proc/818/ns/
pid: 876
.
..
net
uts
ipc
pid
user
mnt
cgroup
D, go back to terminal #2
Turn on the debugging switches to construct the race:
# echo 818> /proc/sys/vm/dentry_debug_pid
# echo 1> /proc/sys/vm/dentry_debug_delay
Kill the unshare process (pid 818). Since the debugging switches have been
turned on, it will get stuck in release_task():
# kill -9 818
Then kill the process that opened the /proc/818/ns/ directory:
# kill -9 876
Then turn off these debugging switches to allow the 818 process to exit:
# echo 0> /proc/sys/vm/dentry_debug_delay
# echo 0> /proc/sys/vm/dentry_debug_pid
Checking the dmesg, we will find that the dentry(/proc/818/ns) ’s count is 0,
and the flag is 2800cc (#define DCACHE_OP_DELETE 0x00000008), but it is still
cached:
# dmesg | grep ffff8802a3999548
…
[565.559156] XXX dput:853 dentry=ns/ffff8802bea7b528, flag=2800cc, cnt=0, inode=ffff8802b38c2010, pdentry=818/ffff8802c7b670e8, pflag=20008c, pcnt=1, pinode=ffff8802c7812010, keywords: be cached
It could also be verified via the crash tool:
crash> dentry.d_flags,d_iname,d_inode,d_lockref -x ffff8802bea7b528
d_flags = 0x2800cc
d_iname = "ns\000kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk"

}
}
}
}
}
},

}
}

Alexey Dobriyan (1):
proc: use %u for pid printing and slightly less stack
Andreas Gruenbacher (1):
proc: Pass file mode to proc_pid_make_inode
Christian Brauner (1):
clone: add CLONE_PIDFD
Eric W. Biederman (6):
proc: Better ownership of files for non-dumpable tasks in user
namespaces
proc: Rename in proc_inode rename sysctl_inodes sibling_inodes
proc: Generalize proc_sys_prune_dcache into proc_prune_siblings_dcache
proc: Clear the pieces of proc_inode that proc_evict_inode cares about
proc: Use d_invalidate in proc_prune_siblings_dcache
proc: Use a list of inodes to flush from proc
