For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

Since eventfd's document has clearly stated: A write(2) call adds
the 8-byte integer value supplied in its buffer to the counter.
However, in the current implementation, the following code snippet
did not cause an error:
char str[16] = "hello world";
uint64_t value;
ssize_t size;
int fd;
fd = eventfd(0, 0);
size = write(fd, &str, strlen(str));
printf("eventfd: test writing a string, size=%ld\n", size);
size = read(fd, &value, sizeof(value));
printf("eventfd: test reading as uint64, size=%ld, valus=0x%lX\n",
size, value);
close(fd);
And its output is:
eventfd: test writing a string, size=8
eventfd: test reading as uint64, size=8, valus=0x6F77206F6C6C6568
By checking whether count is equal to sizeof(ucnt), such errors
could be detected. It also follows the requirements of the manual.

When printing eventfd->count, interrupts will be disabled and a spinlock

For eventfd with flag EFD_SEMAPHORE, when its ctx->count is 0, calling
eventfd_ctx_do_read will cause ctx->count to overflow to ULLONG_MAX.
An underflow can happen with EFD_SEMAPHORE eventfds in at least the
following three subsystems:
(1) virt/kvm/eventfd.c
(2) drivers/vfio/virqfd.c
(3) drivers/virt/acrn/irqfd.c
where (2) and (3) are just modeled after (1). An eventfd must be
specified for use with the KVM_IRQFD ioctl(). This can also be an
EFD_SEMAPHORE eventfd. When the eventfd count is zero or has been
decremented to zero an underflow can be triggered when the irqfd is shut
down by raising the KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_DEASSIGN flag in the KVM_IRQFD
ioctl():
// ctx->count == 0
kvm_vm_ioctl()
-> kvm_irqfd()
-> kvm_irqfd_deassign()
-> irqfd_deactivate()
-> irqfd_shutdown()
-> eventfd_ctx_remove_wait_queue(&cnt)
-> eventfd_ctx_do_read(&cnt)
Userspace polling on the eventfd wouldn't notice the underflow because 1
is always returned as the value from eventfd_read() while ctx->count
would've underflowed. It's not a huge deal because this should only be
happening when the irqfd is shutdown but we should still fix it and
avoid the spurious wakeup.

This is identical to eventfd_signal(), but it allows the caller to pass
in a mask to be used for the poll wakeup key. The use case is avoiding
repeated multishot triggers if we have a dependency between eventfd and
io_uring.
If we setup an eventfd context and register that as the io_uring eventfd,
and at the same time queue a multishot poll request for the eventfd
context, then any CQE posted will repeatedly trigger the multishot request
until it terminates when the CQ ring overflows.
In preparation for io_uring detecting this circular dependency, add the
mentioned helper so that io_uring can pass in EPOLL_URING as part of the
poll wakeup key.

The recursion protection for eventfd_signal() is based on a per CPU
variable and relies on the !RT semantics of spin_lock_irqsave() for
protecting this per CPU variable. On RT kernels spin_lock_irqsave() neither
disables preemption nor interrupts which allows the spin lock held section
to be preempted. If the preempting task invokes eventfd_signal() as well,
then the recursion warning triggers.
Paolo suggested to protect the per CPU variable with a local lock, but
that's heavyweight and actually not necessary. The goal of this protection
is to prevent the task stack from overflowing, which can be achieved with a
per task recursion protection as well.
Replace the per CPU variable with a per task bit similar to other recursion
protection bits like task_struct::in_page_owner. This works on both !RT and
RT kernels and removes as a side effect the extra per CPU storage.
No functional change for !RT kernels.

Where events are consumed in the kernel, for example by KVM's
irqfd_wakeup() and VFIO's virqfd_wakeup(), they currently lack a
mechanism to drain the eventfd's counter.
Since the wait queue is already locked while the wakeup functions are
invoked, all they really need to do is call eventfd_ctx_do_read().
Add a check for the lock, and export it for them.

eventfd is using ->read() as it's file_operations read handler, but
this prevents passing in information about whether a given IO operation
is blocking or not. We can only use the file flags for that. To support
async (-EAGAIN/poll based) retries for io_uring, we need ->read_iter()
support. Convert eventfd to using ->read_iter().
With ->read_iter(), we can support IOCB_NOWAIT. Ensure the fd setup
is done such that we set file->f_mode with FMODE_NOWAIT.

eventfd use cases from aio and io_uring can deadlock due to circular
or resursive calling, when eventfd_signal() tries to grab the waitqueue
lock. On top of that, it's also possible to construct notification
chains that are deep enough that we could blow the stack.
Add a percpu counter that tracks the percpu recursion depth, warn if we
exceed it. The counter is also exposed so that users of eventfd_signal()
can do the right thing if it's non-zero in the context where it is
called.

Finding endpoints of an IPC channel is one of essential task to
understand how a user program works. Procfs and netlink socket provide
enough hints to find endpoints for IPC channels like pipes, unix
sockets, and pseudo terminals. However, there is no simple way to find
endpoints for an eventfd file from userland. An inode number doesn't
hint. Unlike pipe, all eventfd files share the same inode object.
To provide the way to find endpoints of an eventfd file, this patch adds
"eventfd-id" field to /proc/PID/fdinfo of eventfd as identifier.
Integers managed by an IDA are used as ids.
A tool like lsof can utilize the information to print endpoints.

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.
Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections.
But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

done
with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same

For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't

Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

Since commit e22553e2a2 ("eventfd: don't take the spinlock in
eventfd_poll", 2015-02-17), eventfd is reading ctx->count outside
ctx->wqh.lock.
However, things aren't as simple as the read barrier in eventfd_poll
would suggest. In fact, the read barrier, besides lacking a comment, is
not paired in any obvious manner with another read barrier, and it is
pointless because it is sitting between a write (deep in poll_wait) and
the read of ctx->count. The read barrier is acting just as a compiler
barrier, for which we can use READ_ONCE instead. This is what the code
change in this patch does.
The documentation change is just as important, however. The question,
posed by Andrea Arcangeli, is then why the thing is safe on
architectures where spin_unlock does not imply a store-load memory
barrier. The answer is that it's safe because writes of ctx->count use
the same lock as poll_wait, and hence an acquire barrier implicit in
poll_wait provides the necessary synchronization between eventfd_poll
and callers of wake_up_locked_poll. This is sort of mentioned in the
commit message with respect to eventfd_ctx_read ("eventfd_read is
similar, it will do a single decrement with the lock held") but it
applies to all other callers too. It's tricky enough that it should be
documented in the code.

The spinlock in eventfd_poll is trying to protect the count of events so
it can decide if it should return POLLIN, POLLERR, or POLLOUT. But,
because of the way we drop the lock after calling poll_wait, and drop it
again before returning, we have the same pile of races with the lock as
we do with a single read of ctx->count().
This replaces the lock with a read barrier and single read.
eventfd_write does a single bump of ctx->count, so this should not add
new races with adding events. eventfd_read is similar, it will do a
single decrement with the lock held, and so we're making the race with
concurrent readers slightly larger.
This spinlock is the top CPU user in kernel code during one of our
workloads. Removing it gives us a ~2% boost.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

It seems a couple places such as arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon.c and

to get a read-only file. So provide this by having anon_inode_getfile()

Split the anonfd interface into a bare file pointer creation one, and a
file pointer creation plus install one.
There are cases, like the usage of eventfds inside other kernel
interfaces, where the file pointer created by anonfd needs to be used
inside the initialization of other structures.
As it is right now, as soon as anon_inode_getfd() returns, the kenrle can
race with userspace closing the newly installed file descriptor.
This patch, while keeping the old anon_inode_getfd(), introduces a new
anon_inode_getfile() (whose services are reused in anon_inode_getfd())
that allows to split the file creation phase and the fd install one.
Once all the kernel structures are initialized, the code can call the
proper fd_install().
Gregory manifested the need for something like this inside KVM.

Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from
the file pointer instance.
Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the
POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away. Also,
now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the
file*.
This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under
