Hey,
This is v2 of this patchset.
In accordance with some comments There's a cond_resched() added to the close loop similar to what is done for close_files(). A common helper pick_file() for __close_fd() and __close_range() has been split out. This allows to only make a cond_resched() call when filp_close() has been called similar to what is done in close_files(). Maybe that's not worth it. Jann mentioned that cond_resched() looks rather cheap. So it maybe that we could simply do:
while (fd <= max_fd) { __close(files, fd++); cond_resched(); }
I also added a missing test for close_range(fd, fd, 0).
Thanks! Christian

This adds the close_range() syscall. It allows to efficiently close a range of file descriptors up to all file descriptors of a calling task.
The syscall came up in a recent discussion around the new mount API and making new file descriptor types cloexec by default. During this discussion, Al suggested the close_range() syscall (cf. [1]). Note, a syscall in this manner has been requested by various people over time.
First, it helps to close all file descriptors of an exec()ing task. This can be done safely via (quoting Al's example from [1] verbatim):
/* that exec is sensitive */ unshare(CLONE_FILES); /* we don't want anything past stderr here */ close_range(3, ~0U); execve(....);
The code snippet above is one way of working around the problem that file descriptors are not cloexec by default. This is aggravated by the fact that we can't just switch them over without massively regressing userspace. For a whole class of programs having an in-kernel method of closing all file descriptors is very helpful (e.g. demons, service managers, programming language standard libraries, container managers etc.). (Please note, unshare(CLONE_FILES) should only be needed if the calling task is multi-threaded and shares the file descriptor table with another thread in which case two threads could race with one thread allocating file descriptors and the other one closing them via close_range(). For the general case close_range() before the execve() is sufficient.)
Second, it allows userspace to avoid implementing closing all file descriptors by parsing through /proc/<pid>/fd/* and calling close() on each file descriptor. From looking at various large(ish) userspace code bases this or similar patterns are very common in: - service managers (cf. [4]) - libcs (cf. [6]) - container runtimes (cf. [5]) - programming language runtimes/standard libraries - Python (cf. [2]) - Rust (cf. [7], [8]) As Dmitry pointed out there's even a long-standing glibc bug about missing kernel support for this task (cf. [3]). In addition, the syscall will also work for tasks that do not have procfs mounted and on kernels that do not have procfs support compiled in. In such situations the only way to make sure that all file descriptors are closed is to call close() on each file descriptor up to UINT_MAX or RLIMIT_NOFILE, OPEN_MAX trickery (cf. comment [8] on Rust).
The performance is striking. For good measure, comparing the following simple close_all_fds() userspace implementation that is essentially just glibc's version in [6]:
static int close_all_fds(void) { int dir_fd; DIR *dir; struct dirent *direntp;
dir = opendir("/proc/self/fd"); if (!dir) return -1; dir_fd = dirfd(dir); while ((direntp = readdir(dir))) { int fd; if (strcmp(direntp->d_name, ".") == 0) continue; if (strcmp(direntp->d_name, "..") == 0) continue; fd = atoi(direntp->d_name); if (fd == dir_fd || fd == 0 || fd == 1 || fd == 2) continue; close(fd); } closedir(dir); return 0; }
to close_range() yields: 1. closing 4 open files: - close_all_fds(): ~280 us - close_range(): ~24 us
2. closing 1000 open files: - close_all_fds(): ~5000 us - close_range(): ~800 us
close_range() is designed to allow for some flexibility. Specifically, it does not simply always close all open file descriptors of a task. Instead, callers can specify an upper bound. This is e.g. useful for scenarios where specific file descriptors are created with well-known numbers that are supposed to be excluded from getting closed. For extra paranoia close_range() comes with a flags argument. This can e.g. be used to implement extension. Once can imagine userspace wanting to stop at the first error instead of ignoring errors under certain circumstances. There might be other valid ideas in the future. In any case, a flag argument doesn't hurt and keeps us on the safe side.
From an implementation side this is kept rather dumb. It saw some input
from David and Jann but all nonsense is obviously my own! - Errors to close file descriptors are currently ignored. (Could be changed by setting a flag in the future if needed.) - __close_range() is a rather simplistic wrapper around __close_fd(). My reasoning behind this is based on the nature of how __close_fd() needs to release an fd. But maybe I misunderstood specifics: We take the files_lock and rcu-dereference the fdtable of the calling task, we find the entry in the fdtable, get the file and need to release files_lock before calling filp_close(). In the meantime the fdtable might have been altered so we can't just retake the spinlock and keep the old rcu-reference of the fdtable around. Instead we need to grab a fresh reference to the fdtable. If my reasoning is correct then there's really no point in fancyfying __close_range(): We just need to rcu-dereference the fdtable of the calling task once to cap the max_fd value correctly and then go on calling __close_fd() in a loop.

Rust's solution is slightly different but is equally unperformant. Rust calls getdtablesize() which is a glibc library function that simply returns the current RLIMIT_NOFILE or OPEN_MAX values. Rust then goes on to call close() on each fd. That's obviously overkill for most tasks. Rarely, tasks - especially non-demons - hit RLIMIT_NOFILE or OPEN_MAX. Let's be nice and assume an unprivileged user with RLIMIT_NOFILE set to 1024. Even in this case, there's a very high chance that in the common case Rust is calling the close() syscall 1021 times pointlessly if the task just has 0, 1, and 2 open.

This adds the close_range() syscall. It allows to efficiently close a range of file descriptors up to all file descriptors of a calling task.
The syscall came up in a recent discussion around the new mount API and making new file descriptor types cloexec by default. During this discussion, Al suggested the close_range() syscall (cf. [1]). Note, a syscall in this manner has been requested by various people over time.
First, it helps to close all file descriptors of an exec()ing task. This can be done safely via (quoting Al's example from [1] verbatim):
/* that exec is sensitive */ unshare(CLONE_FILES); /* we don't want anything past stderr here */ close_range(3, ~0U); execve(....);
this does not work in a hosted c implementation unless the libc guarantees not to use libc internal fds (e.g. in execve). (the libc cannot easily abstract fds, so the syscall abi layer fd semantics is necessarily visible to user code.)
i think this is a new constraint for userspace runtimes. (not entirely unreasonable though)
The code snippet above is one way of working around the problem that file descriptors are not cloexec by default. This is aggravated by the fact that we can't just switch them over without massively regressing userspace. For a whole class of programs having an in-kernel method of closing all file descriptors is very helpful (e.g. demons, service managers, programming language standard libraries, container managers etc.).
was cloexec_range(a,b) considered?
(Please note, unshare(CLONE_FILES) should only be needed if the calling task is multi-threaded and shares the file descriptor table with another thread in which case two threads could race with one thread allocating file descriptors and the other one closing them via close_range(). For the general case close_range() before the execve() is sufficient.)
assuming there is no unblocked signal handler that may open fds.
a syscall that tramples on fds not owned by the caller is ugly (not generally safe to use and may break things if it gets used), i don't have a better solution for fd leaks or missing cloexec, but i think it needs more analysis how it can be used.
This adds basic tests for the new close_range() syscall. - test that no invalid flags can be passed - test that a range of file descriptors is correctly closed - test that a range of file descriptors is correctly closed if there there are already closed file descriptors in the range - test that max_fd is correctly capped to the current fdtable maximum

Your second -I pulls the unexported kernel headers in, userspace programs shouldn't include unexported kernel headers.
It breaks the build on powerpc with eg:

Did you do that on purpose or just copy it from one of the other Makefiles? :)
If you're just wanting to get the syscall number when the headers haven't been exported, I think the best solution is to do eg:

I originally did that on purpose because checkpatch was yammering on about me not having used ARRAY_SIZE(). But that include can go, you are right.
