Converting page lock to new locking bitops requires a change of page flag
operation naming, so we might as well convert it to something nicer
(!TestSetPageLocked_Lock => trylock_page, SetPageLocked => set_page_locked).
This also facilitates lockdeping of page lock.

All calls to remove_suid() are made with a file pointer, because
(similarly to file_update_time) it is called when the file is written.
Clean up callers by passing in a file instead of a dentry.

Use get_user_pages_fast in splice. This reverts some mmap_sem batching
there, however the biggest problem with mmap_sem tends to be hold times
blocking out other threads rather than cacheline bouncing. Further: on
architectures that implement get_user_pages_fast without locks, mmap_sem
can be avoided completely anyway.

If a page was invalidated during splicing from file to a pipe, then
generic_file_splice_read() could return a short or zero count.
This manifested itself in rare I/O errors seen on nfs exported fuse
filesystems. This is because nfsd uses splice_direct_to_actor() to read
files, and fuse uses invalidate_inode_pages2() to invalidate stale data on
open.
Fix by redoing the page find/create if it was found to be truncated
(invalidated).

generic_file_splice_write() duplicates remove_suid() just because it
doesn't hold i_mutex. But it grabs i_mutex inside splice_from_pipe()
anyway, so this is rather pointless.
Move locking to generic_file_splice_write() and call remove_suid() and
__splice_from_pipe() instead.

There's a quirky loop in generic_file_splice_read() that could go
on indefinitely, if the file splice returns 0 permanently (and not
just as a temporary condition). Get rid of the loop and pass
back -EAGAIN correctly from __generic_file_splice_read(), so we
handle that condition properly as well.

The loop block driver is careful to mask __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS out of its
mapping_gfp_mask, to avoid hangs under memory pressure. But nowadays
it uses splice, usually going through __generic_file_splice_read. That
must use mapping_gfp_mask instead of GFP_KERNEL to avoid those hangs.

sys_tee() currently is a bit eager in returning -EAGAIN, it may do so
even if we don't have a chance of anymore data becoming available. So
improve the logic and only return -EAGAIN if we have an attached writer

Commit 8811930dc74a503415b35c4a79d14fb0b408a361 ("splice: missing user
pointer access verification") added the proper access_ok() calls to
copy_from_user_mmap_sem() which ensures we can copy the struct iovecs
from userspace to the kernel.
But we also must check whether we can access the actual memory region
pointed to by the struct iovec to fix the access checks properly.

Implement file posix capabilities. This allows programs to be given a
subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use
setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers.
This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at
http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php. For more information on how to use this
patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at
http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
Changelog:
Nov 27:
Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton
(security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and
security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix)
Fix Kconfig dependency.
Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in.
Nov 13:
Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from
capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t.
Nov 13:
Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey
Dobriyan.
Nov 09:
Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security
when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean
up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper
function.
Nov 08:
For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use
them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
Nov 07:
Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in
check_cap_sanity().
Nov 07:
Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since
capabilities are the default.
Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY.
Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce
audit messages.
Nov 05:
Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and
task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file
cap support can be stacked.
Sep 05:
As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place
for capability code.
Sep 01:
Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and
task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which
they called a program with some fscaps.
One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we
ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a
cpuset?
It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't
allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check. But since
it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where
CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check,
fixing it might be tough.
task_setscheduler
note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task. Are we ok with
CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset?
task_setioprio
task_setnice
sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another
process. Need same checks as setrlimit
Aug 21:
Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that
euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process
might still have elevated caps.
Aug 15:
Handle endianness of xattrs.
Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk.
Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are
set, else return -EPERM.
With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering
doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than
d_instantiate.
Aug 10:
Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than
caching it at d_instantiate.

Pass real splice size to page_cache_readahead_ondemand().
The splice code works in chunks of 16 pages internally. The readahead code
should be told of the overall splice size, instead of the internal chunk size.
Otherwize bad things may happen. Imagine some 17-page random splice reads.
The code before this patch will result in two readahead calls: readahead(16);
readahead(1); That leads to one 16-page I/O and one 32-page I/O: one extra I/O
and 31 readahead miss pages.

Move synchronous page_cache_readahead_ondemand() call out of splice loop.
This avoids one pointless page allocation/insertion in case of non-zero
ra_pages, or many pointless readahead calls in case of zero ra_pages.
Note that if a user sets ra_pages to less than PIPE_BUFFERS=16 pages, he will
not get expected readahead behavior anyway. The splice code works in batches
of 16 pages, which can be taken as another form of synchronous readahead.

OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> reported that he's noticed
nfsd read corruption in recent kernels, and did the hard work of
discovering that it's due to splice updating the file position twice.
This means that the next operation would start further ahead than it
should.
nfsd_vfs_read()
splice_direct_to_actor()
while(len) {
do_splice_to() [update sd->pos]
-> generic_file_splice_read() [read from sd->pos]
nfsd_direct_splice_actor()
-> __splice_from_pipe() [update sd->pos]
There's nothing wrong with the core splice code, but the direct
splicing is an addon that calls both input and output paths.
So it has to take care in locally caching offset so it remains correct.

If the output actor doesn't transfer the full amount of data, we will
increment ppos too much. Two related bugs in there:
- We need to break out and return actor() retval if it is shorted than
what we spliced into the pipe.
- Adjust ppos only according to actor() return.
Also fix loop problem in generic_file_splice_read(), it should not keep
going when data has already been transferred.

For direct splicing (or private splicing), the output may not be a file.
So abstract out the handling into a specified actor function and put
the data in the splice_desc structure earlier, so we can build on top
of that.
This is the first step in better splice handling for drivers, and also
for implementing vmsplice _to_ user memory.

If the destination pipe is full and we already transferred
data, we break out instead of waiting for more pipe room.
The exit logic looks at spd->nr_pages to see if we moved
everything inside the spd container, but we decrement that
variable in the loop to decide when spd has emptied.
Instead we want to compare to the original page count in
the spd, so cache that in a local variable.

Original patch and description from Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>,
merged and adapted to splice branch by me. Neils text follows:
__generic_file_splice_read() currently samples the i_size at the start
and doesn't do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load
a page. After ->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate
may have caused that page to be filled with zeros, and the read()
call should not see these.
However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be
called on a page between the time that __generic_file_splice_read()
samples i_size and when it finds that it has an uptodate page. These
include at least read-ahead and possibly another thread performing a
read
So we must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page. Thus the
current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with a
sampling before page addition into spd.

It's only supposed to be used by do_sendfile(), which is never
modular. So kill the export.

Don't try to guess what the read-ahead logic will do, allow it
to make its own decisions.

Eric Dumazet, thank you for disclosing this bug.
Readahead logic somehow fails to populate the page range with data.
It can be because
1) the readahead routine is not always called in the following lines of
fs/splice.c:
if (!loff || nr_pages > 1)
page_cache_readahead(mapping, &in->f_ra, in, index, nr_pages);
2) even called, page_cache_readahead() wont guarantee the pages are there.
It wont submit readahead I/O for pages already in the radix tree, or when
(ra_pages == 0), or after 256 cache hits.
In your case, it should be because of the retried reads, which lead to
excessive cache hits, and disables readahead at some time.
And that _one_ failure of readahead blocks the whole read process.
The application receives EAGAIN and retries the read, but
__generic_file_splice_read() refuse to make progress:
- in the previous invocation, it has allocated a blank page and inserted it
into the radix tree, but never has the chance to start I/O for it: the test
of SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK goes before that.
- in the retried invocation, the readahead code will neither get out of the
cache hit mode, nor will it submit I/O for an already existing page.
