[Devel] [PATCH 3/4] ipc namespaces: implement support for posix msqueues

Serge E. Hallyn serue at us.ibm.com
Mon Feb 23 19:09:24 PST 2009


Implement multiple mounts of the mqueue file system, and
link it to usage of CLONE_NEWIPC.

Each ipc ns has a corresponding mqueuefs superblock.  When
a user does clone(CLONE_NEWIPC) or unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), the
unshare will cause an internal mount of a new mqueuefs sb
linked to the new ipc ns.

When a user does 'mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue', he
mounts the mqueuefs superblock.

Posix message queues can be worked with both through the
mq_* system calls (see mq_overview(7)), and through the VFS
through the mqueue mount.  Any usage of mq_open() and friends
will work with the acting task's ipc namespace.  Any actions
through the VFS will work with the mqueuefs in which the
file was created.  So if a user doesn't remount mqueuefs
after unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), mq_open("/ab") will not be
reflected in "ls /dev/mqueue".

If task a mounts mqueue for ipc_ns:1, then clones task b with
a new ipcns, ipcns:2, and then task a is the last task in
ipc_ns:1 to exit, then (1) ipc_ns:1 will be freed, (2) it's
superblock will live on until task b umounts the corresponding
mqueuefs, and vfs actions will continue to succeed, but (3)
sb->s_fs_info will be NULL for the sb corresponding to the
deceased ipc_ns:1.

To make this happen, we must protect the ipc reference count
when
	a. a task exits and drops its ipcns->count, since
	   it might be dropping it to 0 and freeing the ipcns
	b. a task accesses the ipcns through its mqueuefs
	   interface, since it bumps the ipcns refcount and
	   might race with the last task in the ipcns exiting.
So the kref is changed to an atomic_t so we can use
atomic_dec_and_lock(&ns->count,mq_lock), and every access to
the ipcns through ns = mqueuefs_sb->s_fs_info is protected by
the same lock.

Changelog:
	Feb 11: Addresed feedback from Andrew Morton including:
		. use DEFINE_SPINLOCK
		. don't check for null ns in put_ipc_ns()
		. comment why ipc_ns can be NULL at delete_inode
		. set mq_mnt to NULL if IS_ERR() in mq_init_ns
		. convert #defines to inline fns for type checking
		. use generic get_sb_ns helper
	Dec 19: Commented put_ipc_ns (As per Dave Hansen comment)
		Addressed nits (per Sukadev Bhattiprolu comment)
	Dec 17: removed unused static fn (get_ipcns_from_sb)
