From 9915672d41273f5b77f1b3c29b391ffb7732b84b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 09:15:27 -0800 Subject: af_unix: limit unix_tot_inflight Vegard Nossum found a unix socket OOM was possible, posting an exploit program. My analysis is we can eat all LOWMEM memory before unix_gc() being called from unix_release_sock(). Moreover, the thread blocked in unix_gc() can consume huge amount of time to perform cleanup because of huge working set. One way to handle this is to have a sensible limit on unix_tot_inflight, tested from wait_for_unix_gc() and to force a call to unix_gc() if this limit is hit. This solves the OOM and also reduce overall latencies, and should not slowdown normal workloads. Reported-by: Vegard Nossum Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

Other limits might be needed as well (if we queue other types of files), since the passfd mechanism is currently limited by socket receive queue sizes only. Add a recursion_level to unix socket, allowing up to 4 levels. Each time we send an unix socket through sendfd mechanism, we copy its recursion level (plus one) to receiver. This recursion level is cleared when socket receive queue is emptied. Reported-by: Марк Коренберг Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
