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.

This comment implies "file" might be stale? Does that mean anything for
the above seq_file_path()?

I think this should be split into two patches, one adding the size and
one adding the path.
Adding the size is completely unproblematic, but the path might raise
some eyebrows.

We might consider splitting this into multiple seq_printf calls, one for
each printed attribute.
It becomes a bit unreadable and the minimal additional overhead
shouldn't matter that much.

Hi Christian,
Thanks for reviewing. "path" is exposed under the same ptrace
capability as in /proc/pid/maps. If we want to be more cautious, then
perhaps only adding "path" for the applicable anon inodes (dmabuf,
memfd, ...)? But prefer to keep it generic if no one sees an issue
with that.
