[PATCH] memcg: charge fs_context and legacy_fs_context

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

 



This patch adds accounting flags to fs_context and legacy_fs_context 
allocation sites so that kernel could correctly charge these objects.

We have written a PoC to demonstrate the effect of the missing-charging
bugs. The PoC takes around 1,200MB unaccounted memory, while it is charged
for only 362MB memory usage. We evaluate the PoC on QEMU x86_64 v5.2.90
+ Linux kernel v5.10.19 + Debian buster. All the limitations including
ulimits and sysctl variables are set as default. Specifically, the hard 
NOFILE limit and nr_open in sysctl are both 1,048,576.

#ifndef __NR_fsopen
#define __NR_fsopen 430
#endif
static inline int fsopen(const char *fs_name, unsigned int flags)
{
        return syscall(__NR_fsopen, fs_name, flags);
}

static char thread_stack[512][STACK_SIZE];

int thread_fn(void* arg)
{
  for (int i = 0; i< 800000; ++i) {
    int fsfd = fsopen("nfs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC);
    if (fsfd == -1) {
      errExit("fsopen");
    }
  }
  while(1);
  return 0;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  int thread_pid;
  for (int i = 0; i < 1; ++i) {
    thread_pid = clone(thread_fn, thread_stack[i] + STACK_SIZE, \
      SIGCHLD, NULL);
  }
  while(1);
  return 0;
}
