That's of little use to people trying to understand the git commit.

And it's of little use to people who write the documentation. 
Hopefully Michael has been following this closely enough to get by with
what we have here (ie: nothing).

And it's of little use to people who are trying to review this patch
and who haven't followed this alleged lengthy discussion. (ie: me)

And it's of little use to people who write for sites such as lwn.net,
http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges etc.

This is not some personal weekend hack project.  It is the Linux
kernel, used by millions around the world.

OK, that covered a lot of architectures.

Andrew,

I see you accepted this patch into -mm.  I've finally got to looking
at and testing this, so:

Tested-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>
Acked-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

In my tests, everything looks fine.  I'll forward my test program in a
follow-up mail.

I think Ulrich wanted to try to see this patch in for 2.6.28; it's
past the merge window of course, so it's up to you, but I have no
problem with that.  The API is the one that Ulrich initially proposed,
before taking a detour into paccept()
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/671443 ), which I argued
against (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723952,
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/106071/), since I (and
Roland) could see no reason for the added complexity of a signal set
argument (like pselect()/ppoll()/epoll_pwait()).  (In any case, if
someone does come up with a compelling reason to add a sigset
argument, then we can add it via the use of a new flag bit.)

My only argument is with the name of the new sysytem call.

> I've updated the test program which now looks as follows:

(I assume that there had been no testing on x86-32, since, the
__i386__ ifdef's notwithstanding,  the program below can't work on
x86-32 -- sys_socketcall() takes its arguments packaged into an array
on x86-32, not as an inline list.)

Andrew, you noted a lack of explanation accompanying the original
patch.  Here's something to fill the gap, and which may be suitable
for the changelog.

==
Introduce a new accept4() system call.  The addition of this system
call matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(),
signalfd4(), inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added
new system calls that differed from analogous traditional system calls
in adding a flags argument that can be used to access additional
functionality. The accept4() system call is exactly the same as
accept(), except that it adds a flags bit-mask argument.  Two flags
are initially implemented.  (Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27
also had both of these flags.)  SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec
(FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled for the new file descriptor returned
by accept4().  This is a useful security feature to avoid leaking
information in a multithreaded program where one thread is doing an
accept() at the same time as another thread is doing a fork() plus
exec().  (More details here:
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File Descriptor
Handling", Ulrich Drepper)  The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK, which
causes the O_NONBLOCK flag to be enabled on the new open file
description created by accept4().  (This flag is merely a convenience,
saving the use of additional calls fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL)
to achieve the same result.)
==

For the curious, some further background on accept4() and the new
system calls in 2.6.27 is at
http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.com/2008/10/recent-changes-in-file-descriptor.html
and http://lwn.net/Articles/281965/)

Cheers,

Michael

Re: [PATCH] reintroduce accept4

Andrew,

I see you accepted this patch into -mm.  I've finally got to looking
at and testing this, so:

Tested-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
Acked-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>

In my tests, everything looks fine.  I'll forward my test program in a
follow-up mail.

I think Ulrich wanted to try to see this patch in for 2.6.28; it's
past the merge window of course, so it's up to you, but I have no
problem with that.  The API is the one that Ulrich initially proposed,
before taking a detour into paccept()
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/671443 ), which I argued
against (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723952,
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/106071/), since I (and
Roland) could see no reason for the added complexity of a signal set
argument (like pselect()/ppoll()/epoll_pwait()).  (In any case, if
someone does come up with a compelling reason to add a sigset
argument, then we can add it via the use of a new flag bit.)

My only argument is with the name of the new sysytem call.

> I've updated the test program which now looks as follows:

(I assume that there had been no testing on x86-32, since, the
__i386__ ifdef's notwithstanding,  the program below can't work on
x86-32 -- sys_socketcall() takes its arguments packaged into an array
on x86-32, not as an inline list.)

Andrew, you noted a lack of explanation accompanying the original
patch.  Here's something to fill the gap, and which may be suitable
for the changelog.

==
Introduce a new accept4() system call.  The addition of this system
call matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(),
signalfd4(), inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added
new system calls that differed from analogous traditional system calls
in adding a flags argument that can be used to access additional
functionality. The accept4() system call is exactly the same as
accept(), except that it adds a flags bit-mask argument.  Two flags
are initially implemented.  (Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27
also had both of these flags.)  SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec
(FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled for the new file descriptor returned
by accept4().  This is a useful security feature to avoid leaking
information in a multithreaded program where one thread is doing an
accept() at the same time as another thread is doing a fork() plus
exec().  (More details here:
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File Descriptor
Handling", Ulrich Drepper)  The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK, which
causes the O_NONBLOCK flag to be enabled on the new open file
description created by accept4().  (This flag is merely a convenience,
saving the use of additional calls fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL)
to achieve the same result.)
==

For the curious, some further background on accept4() and the new
system calls in 2.6.27 is at
http://linux-man-pages.blogspot.com/2008/10/recent-changes-in-file-descriptor.html
and http://lwn.net/Articles/281965/)

Cheers,

Michael

Re: [PATCH] reintroduce accept4

[Michael Kerrisk]

Hit the send button a little early on my last mail.  Just to complete one piece:

> My only argument is with the name of the new sysytem call.

... Each of these new system calls (accept4(), dup3(), evenfd2(),
signalfd4(), inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) has a name
that's based on the number of arguments it has.  This follows a
convention that was used in a few traditional Unix system calls, e.g.,
wait3(), wait4(), dup2().  However, it's probably a mistake since:

a) The glibc interfaces can have different numbers of arguments from
the system call

b) In the future, we might use the new bits in the flags argument to
signal the presence of additional arguments for the call, in which
case the number in the name no longer matches the number of arguments
in the call signature.

In the end, names like acceptx(), dupx(), ... or acceptfl(), duplf(),
... or somesuch would probably have been better.  But given that we
already added the other system calls, it doesn't seem worth bothering
to change things for accept4().

Cheers,

Michael

Re: [PATCH] reintroduce accept4

[Michael Kerrisk]

Here's my test program.  Works on x86-32.  Should work on x86-64, but
I don't have a system to hand to test with.

It tests accept4() with each of the four possible combinations of
SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK set/clear in 'flags', and verifies that
the appropriate flags are set on the file descriptor/open file
description returned by accept4().

I tested Ulrich's patch in this thread by applying against 2.6.28-rc2,
and it passes according to my test program.

Re: [PATCH] reintroduce accept4

Andrew,

There was a couplke of crufty printf()'s in the preceding version that
I didn't notice until just after I hit send.  Paste this version into
the changelog instead.

Cheers,

Andrew,

There was a couplke of crufty printf()'s in the preceding version that
I didn't notice until just after I hit send.  Paste this version into

That's easy - I'll send it to Linus and let him decide ;)

Realistically, this isn't likely to get much third-party testing in -rc
anyway.  Our best defence at this time is careful review and developer
runtime testing, which you've done, thanks.

If it's buggy, we can live with that - fix it later, backport the
fixes.  It's security holes (including DoS ones) which we need to be
most concerned about.

Ulrich's patch only updated x86.  If you're going to send it to Linus,
please give us other architecture maintainers a chance to get patches
to you to wire it up on our architectures, and then send Linus the
combined patch.

Actually, any architecture that uses sys_socketcall should be OK
already, by the looks, and that includes powerpc.

Here's the latest version, for review-n-test enjoyment:

From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>

Introduce a new accept4() system call.  The addition of this system call
matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(), signalfd4(),
inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added new system calls
that differed from analogous traditional system calls in adding a flags
argument that can be used to access additional functionality.

The accept4() system call is exactly the same as accept(), except that it
adds a flags bit-mask argument.  Two flags are initially implemented. 
(Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27 also had both of these flags.)
SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled for
the new file descriptor returned by accept4().  This is a useful security
feature to avoid leaking information in a multithreaded program where one
thread is doing an accept() at the same time as another thread is doing a
fork() plus exec().

More details here: http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File
Descriptor Handling", Ulrich Drepper) The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK,
which causes the O_NONBLOCK flag to be enabled on the new open file
description created by accept4().  (This flag is merely a convenience,
saving the use of additional calls fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL) to
achieve the same result.

Here's my test program.  Works on x86-32.  Should work on x86-64, but
I don't have a system to hand to test with.

It tests accept4() with each of the four possible combinations of
SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK set/clear in 'flags', and verifies that
the appropriate flags are set on the file descriptor/open file
description returned by accept4().

I tested Ulrich's patch in this thread by applying against 2.6.28-rc2,
and it passes according to my test program.

Here's the latest version, for review-n-test enjoyment:

From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>

Introduce a new accept4() system call.  The addition of this system call
matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(), signalfd4(),
inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added new system calls
that differed from analogous traditional system calls in adding a flags
argument that can be used to access additional functionality.

The accept4() system call is exactly the same as accept(), except that it
adds a flags bit-mask argument.  Two flags are initially implemented. 
(Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27 also had both of these flags.)
SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled for
the new file descriptor returned by accept4().  This is a useful security
feature to avoid leaking information in a multithreaded program where one
thread is doing an accept() at the same time as another thread is doing a
fork() plus exec().

More details here: http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File
Descriptor Handling", Ulrich Drepper) The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK,
which causes the O_NONBLOCK flag to be enabled on the new open file
description created by accept4().  (This flag is merely a convenience,
saving the use of additional calls fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL) to
achieve the same result.

Here's my test program.  Works on x86-32.  Should work on x86-64, but
I don't have a system to hand to test with.

It tests accept4() with each of the four possible combinations of
SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK set/clear in 'flags', and verifies that
the appropriate flags are set on the file descriptor/open file
description returned by accept4().

I tested Ulrich's patch in this thread by applying against 2.6.28-rc2,
and it passes according to my test program.

This para break is in the wrong place.

The para break should actually be at the sentence break in the previous line.

Andrew,

I made a few small tweaks to the changelog: wording fixes, and para
break fixes; other than that, changed the text to say that I rewrote
(rather than updated) the test program.  Please substitute it with the
following.

Cheers,

Michael

From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>

Introduce a new accept4() system call.  The addition of this system call
matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(), signalfd4(),
inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added new system calls
that differed from analogous traditional system calls in adding a flags
argument that can be used to access additional functionality.

The accept4() system call is exactly the same as accept(), except that
it adds a flags bit-mask argument.  Two flags are initially implemented.
(Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27 also had both of these flags.)

SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled
for the new file descriptor returned by accept4().  This is a useful
security feature to avoid leaking information in a multithreaded
program where one thread is doing an accept() at the same time as
another thread is doing a fork() plus exec().  More details here:
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File Descriptor Handling",
Ulrich Drepper).

The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK, which causes the O_NONBLOCK flag
to be enabled on the new open file description created by accept4().
(This flag is merely a convenience, saving the use of additional calls
fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL) to achieve the same result.

Here's a test program.  Works on x86-32.  Should work on x86-64, but
I (mtk) don't have a system to hand to test with.

It tests accept4() with each of the four possible combinations of
SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK set/clear in 'flags', and verifies
that the appropriate flags are set on the file descriptor/open file
description returned by accept4().

I tested Ulrich's patch in this thread by applying against 2.6.28-rc2,
and it passes according to my test program.
