[RFC PATCH] procfs: Add file path and size to /proc/<pid>/fdinfo

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Processes can pin shared memory by keeping a handle to it through a
file descriptor; for instance dmabufs, memfd, and ashsmem (in Android).

In the case of a memory leak, to identify the process pinning the
memory, userspace needs to:
  - Iterate the /proc/<pid>/fd/* for each process
  - Do a readlink on each entry to identify the type of memory from
    the file path.
  - stat() each entry to get the size of the memory.

The file permissions on /proc/<pid>/fd/* only allows for the owner
or root to perform the operations above; and so is not suitable for
capturing the system-wide state in a production environment.

This issue was addressed for dmabufs by making /proc/*/fdinfo/*
accessible to a process with PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS credentials[1]
To allow the same kind of tracking for other types of shared memory,
add the following fields to /proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd>:

path - This allows identifying the type of memory based on common
       prefixes: e.g. "/memfd...", "/dmabuf...", "/dev/ashmem..."

       This was not an issued when dmabuf tracking was introduced
       because the exp_name field of dmabuf fdinfo could be used
       to distinguish dmabuf fds from other types.

size - To track the amount of memory that is being pinned.

       dmabufs expose size as an additional field in fdinfo. Remove
       this and make it a common field for all fds.

Access to /proc/<pid>/fdinfo is governed by PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS
-- the same as for /proc/<pid>/maps which also exposes the path and
size for mapped memory regions.

This allows for a system process with PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS to
account the pinned per-process memory via fdinfo.

 file has been created with [see open(2) for details] and 'mnt_id' represents
 mount ID of the file system containing the opened file [see 3.5
