2014-02-07staging: ashmem: Avoid deadlock between read and mmap callsTodd Poynor
Avoid holding ashmem_mutex across code that can page fault. Page faults grab the mmap_sem for the process, which are also held by mmap calls prior to calling ashmem_mmap, which locks ashmem_mutex. The reversed order of locking between the two can deadlock. The calls that can page fault are read() and the ASHMEM_SET_NAME and ASHMEM_GET_NAME ioctls. Move the code that accesses userspace pages outside the ashmem_mutex.

2013-10-25staging: ashmem: Fix ASHMEM_PURGE_ALL_CACHES return valueJohn Stultz
Hopefully this isn't too late for 3.12. In commit 7dc19d5aff (convert shrinkers to new count/scan API) the return value to PURGE_ALL_CACHES was dropped, causing -EPERM to always be returned. This patch re-adds the ret assignment, setting it to the the ashmem_shrink_count(), which is the lru_count. (Sorry this was missed in the review!)

I am sorry if I have interpreted anything incorrectly here. This is my second day really attempting to understand the Ashmem system. I can not finish documenting this class at this stage - There is still more that I have to learn. For now, however, it will have to do.

2013-09-17staging/android: Initial partial kernel-doc for ashmem.cCruz Julian Bishop
I am beginning to understand the core concepts at play here. I am nowhere near finished with this class - However, it is better if I commit what I have documented so far tonight - That way, if I mess up tomorrow morning, I can just roll back to here. Sorry if this clutters things up. In the end, once *everything* is documented, it will make understanding the Android staging driver easier to understand as a programmer - Hopefully for both new developers and current ones.

2013-09-10drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan APIDave Chinner
Convert the driver shrinkers to the new API. Most changes are compile tested only because I either don't have the hardware or it's staging stuff. FWIW, the md and android code is pretty good, but the rest of it makes me want to claw my eyes out. The amount of broken code I just encountered is mind boggling. I've added comments explaining what is broken, but I fear that some of the code would be best dealt with by being dragged behind the bike shed, burying in mud up to it's neck and then run over repeatedly with a blunt lawn mower. Special mention goes to the zcache/zcache2 drivers. They can't co-exist in the build at the same time, they are under different menu options in menuconfig, they only show up when you've got the right set of mm subsystem options configured and so even compile testing is an exercise in pulling teeth. And that doesn't even take into account the horrible, broken code...

Android's shared memory subsystem, Ashmem, does not support calls from a 32bit userspace in a 64 bit kernel. This patch adds support for syscalls coming from a 32bit userspace in a 64bit kernel.

2013-03-05staging: android: ashmem: get_name,set_name not to hold ashmem_mutexShankar Brahadeeswaran
Problem: There exists a path in ashmem driver that could lead to acquistion of mm->mmap_sem, ashmem_mutex in reverse order. This could lead to deadlock in the system. For Example, assume that mmap is called on a ashmem region in the context of a thread say T1. sys_mmap_pgoff (1. acquires mm->mmap_sem) | --> mmap_region | ----> ashmem_mmap (2. acquires asmem_mutex) Now if there is a context switch after 1 and before 2, and if another thread T2 (that shares the mm struct) invokes an ioctl say ASHMEM_GET_NAME, this can lead to the following path ashmem_ioctl | -->get_name (3. acquires ashmem_mutex) | ---> copy_to_user (4. acquires the mm->mmap_sem) Note that the copy_to_user could lead to a valid fault if no physical page is allocated yet for the user address passed. Now T1 has mmap_sem and is waiting for ashmem_mutex. and T2 has the ashmem_mutex and is waiting for mmap_sem Thus leading to deadlock. Solution: Do not call copy_to_user or copy_from_user while holding the ahsmem_mutex. Instead copy this to a local buffer that lives in the stack while holding this lock. This will maintain data integrity as well never reverse the lock order. Testing: Created a unit test case to reproduce the problem.

2012-10-09mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEARKonstantin Khlebnikov
Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special vma operation: ->remap_pages(). Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support, if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used. Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

2012-05-29mm/fs: route MADV_REMOVE to FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLEHugh Dickins
Now tmpfs supports hole-punching via fallocate(), switch madvise_remove() to use do_fallocate() instead of vmtruncate_range(): which extends madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE) support from tmpfs to ext4, ocfs2 and xfs. There is one more user of vmtruncate_range() in our tree, staging/android's ashmem_shrink(): convert it to use do_fallocate() too (but if its unpinned areas are already unmapped - I don't know - then it would do better to use shmem_truncate_range() directly).

2011-12-21ashmem: Anonymous shared memory subsystemRobert Love
The anonymous shared memory (ashmem) subsystem provides a Unix-y,file-based shared memory interface to user-space. It works like anonymous memory (e.g. mmapping fd=0) except if you share the file descriptor via the usual means, you will share the mapping. The shared memory can be accessed via both mmap or file I/O. The backing store is a simple shmem file. Additionally, ashmem introduces the concept of page pinning. Pinned pages (the default) behave like any anonymous memory. Unpinned pages are available to the kernel for eviction during VM pressure. When repinning the pages, the return value instructs user-space as to any eviction. In this manner, user-space processes may implement caching and similar resource management that efficiently integrates with kernel memory management. Signed-off-by: Robert Love <rlove@google.com> ashmem: Don't install fault handler for private mmaps. Ashmem is used to create named private heaps. If this heap is backed by a tmpfs file it will allocate two pages for every page touched. In 2.6.27, the extra page would later be freed, but 2.6.29 does not scan anonymous pages when running without swap so the memory is not freed while the file is referenced. This change changes the behavior of private ashmem mmaps to match /dev/zero instead tmpfs.
