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.
