[PATCH v12] exec: Fix dead-lock in de_thread with ptrace_attach

by Bernd Edlinger

This introduces signal->exec_bprm, which is used to fix the case when at least one of the sibling threads is traced, and therefore the trace process may dead-lock in ptrace_attach, but de_thread will need to wait for the tracer to continue execution. The solution is to detect this situation and allow ptrace_attach to continue by temporarily releasing the cred_guard_mutex, while de_thread() is still waiting for traced zombies to be eventually released by the tracer. In the case of the thread group leader we only have to wait for the thread to become a zombie, which may also need co-operation from the tracer due to PTRACE_O_TRACEEXIT. When a tracer wants to ptrace_attach a task that already is in execve, we simply retry the ptrace_may_access check while temporarily installing the new credentials and dumpability which are about to be used after execve completes. If the ptrace_attach happens on a thread that is a sibling-thread of the thread doing execve, it is sufficient to check against the old credentials, as this thread will be waited for, before the new credentials are installed. Other threads die quickly since the cred_guard_mutex is released, but a deadly signal is already pending. In case the mutex_lock_killable misses the signal, the non-zero current->signal->exec_bprm makes sure they release the mutex immediately and return with -ERESTARTNOINTR. This means there is no API change, unlike the previous version of this patch which was discussed here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/b6537ae6-31b1-5c50-f32b-8b8332ace882@hotmail.d… See tools/testing/selftests/ptrace/vmaccess.c for a test case that gets fixed by this change. Note that since the test case was originally designed to test the ptrace_attach returning an error in this situation, the test expectation needed to be adjusted, to allow the API to succeed at the first attempt.

Note: I got actually one response from an automatic checker to the v11 patch, https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/202107121344.wu68hEPF-lkp@intel.com/ which is complaining about: >> kernel/ptrace.c:425:26: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) @@ expected struct cred const *old_cred @@ got struct cred const [noderef] __rcu *real_cred @@ 417 struct linux_binprm *bprm = task->signal->exec_bprm; 418 const struct cred *old_cred; 419 struct mm_struct *old_mm; 420 421 retval = down_write_killable(&task->signal->exec_update_lock); 422 if (retval) 423 goto unlock_creds; 424 task_lock(task); > 425 old_cred = task->real_cred; v12: Essentially identical to v11. - Fixed a minor merge conflict in linux v5.17, and fixed the above mentioned nit by adding __rcu to the declaration. - re-tested the patch with all linux versions from v5.11 to v6.6 v10 was an alternative approach which did imply an API change. But I would prefer to avoid such an API change. The difficult part is getting the right dumpability flags assigned before de_thread starts, hope you like this version. If not, the v10 is of course also acceptable.

[PATCH net-next 0/4] (no cover subject)

by Breno Leitao

This patch series introduces a new configfs attribute that enables sending messages directly through netconsole without going through the kernel's logging infrastructure. This feature allows users to send custom messages, alerts, or status updates directly to netconsole receivers by writing to /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/<target>/send_msg, without poluting kernel buffers, and sending msgs to the serial, which could be slow. At Meta this is currently used in two cases right now (through printk by now): a) When a new workload enters or leave the machine. b) From time to time, as a "ping" to make sure the netconsole/machine is alive. The implementation reuses the existing message transmission functions (send_msg_udp() and send_ext_msg_udp()) to handle both basic and extended message formats. Regarding code organization, this version uses forward declarations for send_msg_udp() and send_ext_msg_udp() functions rather than relocating them within the file. While forward declarations do add a small amount of redundancy, they avoid the larger churn that would result from moving entire function definitions. --- Breno Leitao (4): netconsole: extract message fragmentation into send_msg_udp() netconsole: Add configfs attribute for direct message sending selftests/netconsole: Switch to configfs send_msg interface Documentation: netconsole: Document send_msg configfs attribute Documentation/networking/netconsole.rst | 40 +++++++++++++++ drivers/net/netconsole.c | 59 ++++++++++++++++++---- .../selftests/drivers/net/netcons_sysdata.sh | 2 +- 3 files changed, 91 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) --- base-commit: ab084f0b8d6d2ee4b1c6a28f39a2a7430bdfa7f0 change-id: 20251127-netconsole_send_msg-89813956dc23 Best regards, -- Breno Leitao <leitao(a)debian.org>

[PATCH nf-next v2 2/4] netfilter: flowtable: Add IP6IP6 rx sw acceleration

by Lorenzo Bianconi

Introduce sw acceleration for rx path of IP6IP6 tunnels relying on the netfilter flowtable infrastructure. Subsequent patches will add sw acceleration for IP6IP6 tunnels tx path. IP6IP6 rx sw acceleration can be tested running the following scenario where the traffic is forwarded between two NICs (eth0 and eth1) and an IP6IP6 tunnel is used to access a remote site (using eth1 as the underlay device): ETH0 -- TUN0 <==> ETH1 -- [IP network] -- TUN1 (2001:db8:3::2) $ip addr show 6: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:00:22:33:11:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 2001:db8:1::2/64 scope global nodad valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 7: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:11:22:33:11:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 2001:db8:2::1/64 scope global nodad valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 8: tun0@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1480 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/tunnel6 2001:db8:2::1 peer 2001:db8:2::2 permaddr ce9c:2940:7dcc:: inet6 2002:db8:1::1/64 scope global nodad valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever $ip -6 route show 2001:db8:1::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 2001:db8:2::/64 dev eth1 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium 2002:db8:1::/64 dev tun0 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium default via 2002:db8:1::2 dev tun0 metric 1024 pref medium $nft list ruleset table inet filter { flowtable ft { hook ingress priority filter devices = { eth0, eth1 } } chain forward { type filter hook forward priority filter;

[PATCH v2 0/3] selftests/resctrl: Add Hygon CPUs support and bug fixes

by Xiaochen Shen

The resctrl selftest currently exhibits several failures on Hygon CPUs due to missing vendor detection and edge-case handling specific to Hygon's architecture. This patch series addresses three distinct issues: 1. Missing CPU vendor detection, causing the test to fail with "# Can not get vendor info..." on Hygon CPUs. 2. A division-by-zero crash in SNC detection on Hygon CPUs. 3. Incorrect handling of non-contiguous CBM support on Hygon CPUs. These changes enable resctrl selftest to run successfully on Hygon CPUs that support Platform QoS features.

[PATCH v5 0/3] selftests: cgroup: Enhance robustness with polling helpers

by Guopeng Zhang

Hi all, This patch series introduces improvements to the cgroup selftests by adding a helper function to better handle asynchronous updates in cgroup statistics. These changes are especially useful for managing cgroup stats like memory.stat and cgroup.stat, which can be affected by delays (e.g., RCU callbacks and asynchronous rstat flushing). Patch 1/3 adds cg_read_key_long_poll(), a generic helper to poll a numeric key in a cgroup file until it reaches an expected value or a retry limit is hit. Patches 2/3 and 3/3 convert existing tests to use this helper, making them more robust on busy systems. v5: - Drop the "/* 3s total */" comment from MEMCG_SOCKSTAT_WAIT_RETRIES as suggested by Shakeel, so it does not become stale if the wait interval changes. - Elaborate in the commit message of patch 3/3 on the rationale behind the 8s timeout in test_kmem_dead_cgroups(), and add a comment next to KMEM_DEAD_WAIT_RETRIES explaining that it is a generous upper bound derived from stress testing and not tied to a specific kernel constant. - Add Reviewed-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeel.butt(a)linux.dev> to this series. - Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251124123816.486164-1-zhangguopeng@kylinos.cn/ v4: - Patch 1/3: Add the cg_read_key_long_poll() helper to poll cgroup keys with retries and configurable intervals. - Patch 2/3: Update test_memcg_sock() to use cg_read_key_long_poll() for handling delayed "sock " counter updates in memory.stat. - Patch 3/3: Replace the sleep-and-retry logic in test_kmem_dead_cgroups() with cg_read_key_long_poll() for waiting on nr_dying_descendants. - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/p655qedqjaakrnqpytc6dltejfluxo6jrffcltfz2ivonmk… v3: - Move MEMCG_SOCKSTAT_WAIT_* defines after the #include block as suggested. - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/5ad2b75f-748a-4e93-8d11-63295bda0cbf@linux.dev/ v2: - Clarify the rationale for the 3s timeout and mention the periodic rstat flush interval (FLUSH_TIME = 2 * HZ) in the comment. - Replace hardcoded retry count and wait interval with macros to avoid magic numbers and make the timeout calculation explicit. - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251119122758.85610-1-ioworker0@gmail.com/ Thanks to Michal Koutný for the suggestion, and to Lance Yang and Shakeel Butt for their reviews and feedback.
