In this discussion, we identified a need for looking closely and investigating atomic_t usages in the kernel when it is used strictly as a counter without it controlling object lifetimes and state changes. There are a number of atomic_t usages in the kernel where atomic_t api is used strictly for counting and not for managing object lifetime. In some cases, atomic_t might not even be needed. The purpose of these counters is to clearly differentiate atomic_t counters from atomic_t usages that guard object lifetimes, hence prone to overflow and underflow errors. It allows tools that scan for underflow and overflow on atomic_t usages to detect overflow and underflows to scan just the cases that are prone to errors. Simple atomic counters api provides interfaces for simple atomic counters that just count, and don't guard resource lifetimes. The interfaces are built on top of atomic_t api, providing a smaller subset of atomic_t interfaces necessary to support simple counters. Counter wraps around to INT_MIN when it overflows and should not be used to guard resource lifetimes, device usage and open counts that control state changes, and pm states. Overflowing to INT_MIN is consistent with the atomic_t api, which it is built on top of. Using counter_atomic* to guard lifetimes could lead to use-after free when it overflows and undefined behavior when used to manage state changes and device usage/open states. This patch series introduces Simple atomic counters. Counter atomic ops leverage atomic_t and provide a sub-set of atomic_t ops. In addition this patch series converts a few drivers to use the new api. The following criteria is used for select variables for conversion: 1. Variable doesn't guard object lifetimes, manage state changes e.g: device usage counts, device open counts, and pm states. 2. Variable is used for stats and counters. 3. The conversion doesn't change the overflow behavior. Note: Would like to get this into Linux 5.10-rc1 so we can continue updating drivers that can be updated to use this API. If this all looks good, Kees, would you like to take this through your tree or would you like to take this through mine. Changes since Patch v2: -- Thanks for reviews and reviewed-by, and Acked-by tags. Updated the patches with the tags. -- Minor changes to address Greg's comment to remove default from Kconfig -- Added Copyrights to new files Updates to address comments on v2 from Kees Cook -- Updated Patch 1/11 to make clear that the counter wraps around to INT_MIN and that this behavior is consistent with the atomic_t api, on which this counter built api built on top of. -- Other patch change logs updated with the correct wrap around behavior. -- Patch 1/11 is updated to add tests with constants for overflow and underflow. -- Patch 8/11 - added inits for the stat counters -- Patch 10/11 - fixes the vmci_num_guest_devices != 0 to >0 which is safer than checking for !=0. Changes since Patch v1 -- Thanks for reviews and reviewed-by, and Acked-by tags. Updated the patches with the tags. -- Addressed Kees's and Joel's comments: 1. Removed dec_return interfaces 2. Removed counter_simple interfaces to be added later with changes to drivers that use them (if any). Changes since RFC: -- Thanks for reviews and reviewed-by, and Acked-by tags. Updated the patches with the tags. -- Addressed Kees's comments: 1. Non-atomic counters renamed to counter_simple32 and counter_simple64 to clearly indicate size. 2. Added warning for counter_simple* usage and it should be used only when there is no need for atomicity. 3. Renamed counter_atomic to counter_atomic32 to clearly indicate size. 4. Renamed counter_atomic_long to counter_atomic64 and it now uses atomic64_t ops and indicates size. 5. Test updated for the API renames. 6. Added helper functions for test results printing 7. Verified that the test module compiles in kunit env. and test module can be loaded to run the test. 8. Updated Documentation to reflect the intent to make the API restricted so it can never be used to guard object lifetimes and state management. I left _return ops for now, inc_return is necessary for now as per the discussion we had on this topic. -- Updated driver patches with API name changes. -- We discussed if binder counters can be non-atomic. For now I left them the same as the RFC patch - using counter_atomic32 -- Unrelated to this patch series: The patch series review uncovered improvements could be made to test_async_driver_probe and vmw_vmci/vmci_guest. I will track these for fixing later.
