A deadlock can occur when user space uses a signal (autofs version 4 uses
SIGCHLD for this) to effect expire completion.
The order of events is:
Expire process completes, but before being able to send SIGCHLD to it's parent
...
Another process walks onto a different mount point and drops the directory
inode semaphore prior to sending the request to the daemon as it must ...
A third process does an lstat on on the expired mount point causing it to wait
on expire completion (unfortunately) holding the directory semaphore.
The mount request then arrives at the daemon which does an lstat and,
deadlock.
For some time I was concerned about releasing the directory semaphore around
the expire wait in autofs4_lookup as well as for the mount call back. I
finally realized that the last round of changes in this function made the
expiring dentry and the lookup dentry separate and distinct so the check and
possible wait can be done anywhere prior to the mount call back. This patch
moves the check to just before the mount call back and inside the directory
inode mutex release.

So this was changed to make the type setting explicit.
- a type AUTOFS_TYPE_ANY was added for use by the re-implementation

Add a miscellaneous device to the autofs4 module for routing ioctls. This

point that is possibly covered by another mount.
The actual problem with autofs is that it can't reconnect to existing
mounts. Immediately one things of just adding the ability to remount
autofs file systems would solve it, but alas, that can't work. This is
because autofs direct mounts and the implementation of "on demand mount
and expire" of nested mount trees have the file system mounted on top of
the mount trigger dentry.
To resolve this a miscellaneous device node for routing ioctl commands to
these mount points has been implemented in the autofs4 kernel module and a
library added to autofs. This provides the ability to open a file
descriptor for these over mounted autofs mount points.
Please refer to Documentation/filesystems/autofs4-mount-control.txt for a

For direct and offset type mounts that are covered by another mount we
cannot check the AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING flag during a path walk which leads
to lookups walking into an expiring mount while it is being expired.
For example, for the direct multi-mount map entry with a couple of
offsets:
/race/mm1 / <server1>:/<path1>
/om1 <server2>:/<path2>
/om2 <server1>:/<path3>
an autofs trigger mount is mounted on /race/mm1 and when accessed it is
over mounted and trigger mounts made for /race/mm1/om1 and /race/mm1/om2.
So it isn't possible for path walks to see the expiring flag at all and
they happily walk into the file system while it is expiring.
When expiring these mounts follow_down() must stop at the autofs mount and
all processes must block in the ->follow_link() method (except the daemon)
until the expire is complete. This is done by decrementing the d_mounted
field of the autofs trigger mount root dentry until the expire is
completed. In ->follow_link() all processes wait on the expire and the
mount following is completed for the daemon until the expire is complete.

There are two cases for which a dentry that has a pending mount request
does not wait for completion. One is via autofs4_revalidate() and the
other via autofs4_follow_link().
In revalidate, after the mount point directory is created, but before the
mount is done, the check in try_to_fill_dentry() can can fail to send the
dentry to the wait queue since the dentry is positive and the lookup flags
may contain only LOOKUP_FOLLOW. Although we don't trigger a mount for the
LOOKUP_FOLLOW flag, if ther's one pending we might as well wait and use
the mounted dentry for the lookup.
In autofs4_follow_link() the dentry is not checked to see if it is pending
so it may fail to call try_to_fill_dentry() and not wait for mount
completion.
A dentry that is pending must always be sent to the wait queue.

We have been seeing mount requests comming to the automount daemon for
keys of the form "<map key>/<non key directory>" which are lookups for
invalid map keys. But we can check for this in the kernel module and
return a fail immediately, without having to send a request to the daemon.
It is possible to recognise these requests are invalid based on whether
the request dentry is negative and its relation to the autofs file system
root.
For example, given the indirect multi-mount map entry:
idm1 \
/mm1 <server>:/<path1>
/mm2 <server>:/<path2>
For a request to mount idm1, IS_ROOT((idm1)->d_parent) will be always be
true and the dentry may be negative. But directories idm1/mm1 and
idm1/mm2 will always be created as part of the mount request for idm1. So
any mount request within idm1 itself must have a positive dentry otherwise
the map key is invalid.
In version 4 these multi-mount entries are all mounted and umounted as a
single request and in version 5 the directories idm1/mm1 and idm1/mm2 are
created and an autofs fs mounted on them to act as a mount trigger so the
above is also true.
This also holds true for the autofs version 4 pseudo direct mount feature.
When this feature is used without the "--ghost" option automount(8) will
create internal submounts as we go down the map key paths which are
essentially normal indirect mounts for which the above holds. If the
"--ghost" option is given the directories for map keys are created at
daemon startup so valid map entries correspond to postive dentries in the
autofs fs.
autofs version 5 direct mount maps are similar except that the IS_ROOT
check is not needed. This has been addressed in a previous patch tittled
"autofs4 - detect invalid direct mount requests".
For example, given the direct multi-mount map entry:
/test/dm1 \
/mm1 <server>:/<path1>
/mm2 <server>:/<path2>
An autofs fs is mounted on /test/dm1 as a trigger mount and when a mount
is triggered for /test/dm1, the multi-mount offset directories
/test/dm1/mm1 and /test/dm1/mm2 are created and an autofs fs is mounted on
them to act as mount triggers. So valid direct mount requests must always
have a positive dentry if they correspond to a valid map entry.

Close a race between a pending mount that is about to finish and a new
lookup for the same directory.
Process P1 triggers a mount of directory foo. It sets
DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING in the ->lookup routine, creates a waitq entry for
'foo', and calls out to the daemon to perform the mount. The autofs
daemon will then create the directory 'foo', using a new dentry that will
be hashed in the dcache.
Before the mount completes, another process, P2, tries to walk into the
'foo' directory. The vfs path walking code finds an entry for 'foo' and
calls the revalidate method. Revalidate finds that the entry is not
PENDING (because PENDING was never set on the dentry created by the
mkdir), but it does find the directory is empty. Revalidate calls
try_to_fill_dentry, which sets the PENDING flag and then calls into the
autofs4 wait code to trigger or wait for a mount of 'foo'. The wait code
finds the entry for 'foo' and goes to sleep waiting for the completion of
the mount.
Yet another process, P3, tries to walk into the 'foo' directory. This
process again finds a dentry in the dcache for 'foo', and calls into the
autofs revalidate code.
The revalidate code finds that the PENDING flag is set, and so calls
try_to_fill_dentry.
a) try_to_fill_dentry sets the PENDING flag redundantly for this
dentry, then calls into the autofs4 wait code.
b) the autofs4 wait code takes the waitq mutex and searches for an
entry for 'foo'
Between a and b, P1 is woken up because the mount completed. P1 takes the
wait queue mutex, clears the PENDING flag from the dentry, and removes the
waitqueue entry for 'foo' from the list.
When it releases the waitq mutex, P3 (eventually) acquires it. At this
time, it looks for an existing waitq for 'foo', finds none, and so creates
a new one and calls out to the daemon to mount the 'foo' directory.
Now, the reason that three processes are required to trigger this race is
that, because the PENDING flag is not set on the dentry created by mkdir,
the window for the race would be way to slim for it to ever occur.
Basically, between the testing of d_mountpoint(dentry) and the taking of
the waitq mutex, the mount would have to complete and the daemon would
have to be woken up, and that in turn would have to wake up P1. This is
simply impossible. Add the third process, though, and it becomes slightly
more likely.

When an open(2) call is made on an autofs mount point directory that
already exists and the O_DIRECTORY flag is not used the needed mount
callback to the daemon is not done. This leads to the path walk
continuing resulting in a callback to the daemon with an incorrect
key. open(2) is called without O_DIRECTORY by the "find" utility but
this should be handled properly anyway.
This happens because autofs needs to use the lookup flags to decide
when to callback to the daemon to perform a mount to prevent mount
storms. For example, an autofs indirect mount map that has the "browse"
option will have the mount point directories are pre-created and the
stat(2) call made by a color ls against each directory will cause all
these directories to be mounted. It is unfortunate we need to resort
to this but mount maps can be quite large. Additionally, if a user
manually umounts an autofs indirect mount the directory isn't removed
which also leads to this situation.
To resolve this autofs needs to use the lookup intent flags to enable
it to make this decision. This patch adds this check and triggers a
call back if any of the lookup intent flags are set as all these calls
warrant a mount attempt be requested.
I know that external VFS code which uses the lookup flags is something
that the VFS would like to eliminate but I have no choice as I can't
see any other way to do this. A VFS dentry or inode operation callback
which returns the lookup "type" (requires a definition) would be
sufficient. But this change is needed now and I'm not aware of the form
that coming VFS changes will take so I'm not willing to propose anything
along these lines.
If anyone can provide an alternate method I would be happy to use it.

Since we now delay hashing of dentrys until the ->mkdir() call, droping
and re-taking the directory mutex within the ->lookup() function when we
are being called by user space is not needed. This can lead to a race
when other processes are attempting to access the same directory during
mount point directory creation.
In this case we need to hang onto the mutex to ensure we don't get user
processes trying to create a mount request for a newly created dentry
after the mount point entry has already been created. This ensures that
when we need to check a dentry passed to autofs4_wait(), if it is hashed,
it is always the mount point dentry and not a new dentry created by
another lookup during directory creation.

A while ago a patch to resolve a deadlock during directory creation was
merged. This delayed the hashing of lookup dentrys until the ->mkdir()
(or ->symlink()) operation completed to ensure we always went through
->lookup() instead of also having processes go through ->revalidate() so
our VFS locking remained consistent.
Now we are seeing a couple of side affects of that change in situations
with heavy mount activity.
Two cases have been identified:
1) When a mount request is triggered, due to the delayed hashing, the
directory created by user space for the mount point doesn't have the
DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag set. In the case of an autofs multi-mount
where a tree of mount point directories are created this can lead to
the path walk continuing rather than the dentry being sent to the wait
queue to wait for request completion. This is because, if the pending
flag isn't set, the criteria for deciding this is a mount in progress
fails to hold, namely that the dentry is not a mount point and has no
subdirectories.
2) A mount request dentry is initially created negative and unhashed.
It remains this way until the ->mkdir() callback completes. Since it
is unhashed a fresh dentry is used when the user space mount request
creates the mount point directory. This leaves the original dentry
negative and unhashed. But revalidate has no way to tell the VFS that
the dentry has changed, other than to force another ->lookup() by
returning false, which is at best wastefull and at worst not possible.
This results in an -ENOENT return from the original path walk when in
fact the mount succeeded.
To resolve this we need to ensure that the same dentry is used in all
calls to ->lookup() during the course of a mount request. This patch
achieves that by adding the initial dentry to a look aside list and
removes it at ->mkdir() or ->symlink() completion (or when the dentry is
released), since these are the only create operations autofs4 supports.

Correct the error of making a positive dentry negative after it has been
instantiated.
The code that makes this error attempts to re-use the dentry from a
concurrent expire and mount to resolve a race and the dentry used for the
lookup must be negative for mounts to trigger in the required cases. The
fact is that the dentry doesn't need to be re-used because all that is
needed is to preserve the flag that indicates an expire is still
incomplete at the time of the mount request.
This change uses the the dentry to check the flag and wait for the expire
to complete then discards it instead of attempting to re-use it.

Jeff Moyer has identified a case where the autofs4 function
root.c:try_to_fill_dentry() can return -EBUSY when it should return 0.
Jeff's description of the way this happens is:
"automount starts an expire for directory d. after the callout to the daemon,
but before the rmdir, another process tries to walk into the same directory.
It puts itself onto the waitq, pending the expiration.
When the expire finishes, the second process is woken up. In
try_to_fill_dentry, it does this check:
status = d_invalidate(dentry);
if (status != -EBUSY)
return -EAGAIN;
And status is EBUSY. The dentry still has a non-zero d_inode, and the
flags do not contain LOOKUP_CONTINUE or LOOKUP_DIRECTORY
So, we fall through and return -EBUSY to the caller."

Jeff Moyer has identified a race in due to an execution order dependency
in the autofs4 function root.c:try_to_fill_dentry().
Jeff's description of this race is:
"P1 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo. Since the VFS can't find an entry
for "foo" under /mount/submount, it calls into the autofs4 kernel module to
allocate a new dentry, D1. The kernel creates a new waitq for this lookup and
calls the daemon to perform the mount.
The daemon performs a mkdir of the "foo" directory under /mount/submount,
which ends up creating a *new* dentry, D2.
Then, P2 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo. The VFS path walking logic
finds a dentry in the dcache, D2, and calls the revalidate function with this.
In the autofs4 revalidate code, we then trigger a mount, since the dentry is
an empty directory that isn't a mountpoint, and so set DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING
and call into the wait code to trigger the mount.
The wait code finds our existing waitq entry (since it is keyed off of the
directory name) and adds itself to the list of waiters.
After the daemon finishes the mount, it calls back into the kernel to release
the waiters. When this happens, P1 is woken up and goes about clearing the
DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag, but it does this in D1! So, given that P1 in our
case is a program that will immediately try to access a file under
/mount/submount/foo, we end up finding the dentry D2 which still has the
pending flag set, and we set out to wait for a mount *again*!
So, one way to address this is to re-do the lookup at the end of
try_to_fill_dentry, and to clear the pending flag on the hashed dentry. This
seems a sane approach to me."
And Jeff's patch does this.

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good

that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.
Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
<dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to

* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
the common prefix of the same name.
For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are

Due to inconsistent locking in the VFS between calls to lookup and
revalidate deadlock can occur in the automounter.
The inconsistency is that the directory inode mutex is held for both lookup
and revalidate calls when called via lookup_hash whereas it is held only
for lookup during a path walk. Consequently, if the mutex is held during a
call to revalidate autofs4 can't release the mutex to callback the daemon
as it can't know whether it owns the mutex.
This situation happens when a process tries to create a directory within an
automount and a second process also tries to create the same directory
between the lookup and the mkdir. Since the first process has dropped the
mutex for the daemon callback, the second process takes it during
revalidate leading to deadlock between the autofs daemon and the second
process when the daemon tries to create the mount point directory.
After spending quite a bit of time trying to resolve this on more than one
occassion, using rather complex and ulgy approaches, it turns out that just
delaying the hashing of the dentry until the create operation works fine.

Commit f50b6f8691 introduced a race in
autofs4 between autofs_lookup_unhashed() and autofs_dentry_release().
autofs_dentry_release() ends up clearing the ->dentry and ->inode members
of autofs_info before removing it from the rehash list. The list is
protected by the rehash lock in both functions, but since
autofs_dentry_release() starts tearing the autofs_info struct down before
removing it from the list, autofs_lookup_unhashed() can get a autofs_info
with a NULL dentry.
This patch moves the clearing of ->dentry and ->inode after the removal
from the rehash list.

This problem was identified and fixed some time ago by Jeff Moyer but it fell
through the cracks somehow.
It is possible that a user space application could remove and re-create a
directory during a request. To avoid returning a failure from lookup
incorrectly when our current dentry is unhashed we need to check if another
positive, hashed dentry matching this one exists and if so return it instead
of a fail.

Jeff Moyer has identified a race between mount and expire.
What happens is that during an expire the situation can arise that a directory
is removed and another lookup is done before the expire issues a completion
status to the kernel module. In this case, since the the lookup gets a new
dentry, it doesn't know that there is an expire in progress and when it posts
its mount request, matches the existing expire request and waits for its
completion. ENOENT is then returned to user space from lookup (as the dentry
passed in is now unhashed) without having performed the mount request.
The solution used here is to keep track of dentrys in this unhashed state and
reuse them, if possible, in order to preserve the flags. Additionally, this
infrastructure will provide the framework for the reintroduction of caching of
mount fails removed earlier in development.

and then deadlock comes.
The problem: autofs_fill_super() returns EINVAL to get_sb_nodev(), but
before that, it calls kill_anon_super() to destroy the superblock which
won't be needed. This is however way too soon to call kill_anon_super(),
because get_sb_nodev() has to perform its own cleanup of the superblock
first (deactivate_super(), etc.). The correct time to call
kill_anon_super() is in the autofs_kill_sb() callback, which is called by
deactivate_super() at proper time, when the superblock is ready to be
killed.
I can see the same faulty codepath also in autofs4. This patch solves
issues in both filesystems in a same way - it postpones the
kill_anon_super() until the proper time is signalized by deactivate_super()
calling the kill_sb() callback.

Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super() so
that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy the
dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true.
What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the
kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_anon_super().
This makes the struct autofs_sb_info::root member variable redundant (since
sb->s_root is still available), and so that is removed. The calls to
shrink_dcache_sb() are also removed since they're also redundant as
shrink_dcache_for_umount() will now be called after the cleanup routine.

For a long time now I have had a problem with not being able to return a
lookup failure on an existsing directory. In autofs this corresponds to a
mount failure on a autofs managed mount entry that is browsable (and so the
mount point directory exists).
While this problem has been present for a long time I've avoided resolving
it because it was not very visible. But now that autofs v5 has "mount and
expire on demand" of nested multiple mounts, such as is found when mounting
an export list from a server, solving the problem cannot be avoided any
longer.
I've tried very hard to find a way to do this entirely within the autofs4
module but have not been able to find a satisfactory way to achieve it.
So, I need to propose a change to the VFS.

In this case dentrys created during a lookup for which a mount fails or has

These dentrys may not be invalidated prior to comparing the interanl usage
count of valid autofs dentrys against the dentry d_count which makes a
mount tree appear busy so it doesn't expire.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

This patch fixes two problems.
First, the comparison of entries in the waitq.c was incorrect.
Second, the NFY_NONE check was incorrect. The test of whether the dentry
is mounted if ineffective, for example, if an expire fails then we could
wait forever on a non existant expire. The bug was identified by Jeff
Moyer.
The patch changes autofs4 to wait on expires only as this is all that's
needed. If there is no existing wait when autofs4_wait is call with a type
of NFY_NONE it delays until either a wait appears or the the expire flag is
cleared.

Alter the expire semantics that define how "busyness" is determined.
Currently a last_used counter is updated on every revalidate from processes
other than the mount owner process group.
This patch changes that so that an expire candidate is busy only if it has a
reference count greater than the expected minimum, such as when there is an
open file or working directory in use.
This method is the only way that busyness can be established for direct mounts
within the new implementation. For consistency the expire semantic is made
the same for all mounts.
A side effect of the patch is that mounts which remain mounted unessessarily
in the presence of some GUI programs that scan the filesystem should now
expire.

Fix the case where an expire returns busy on a tree mount when it is in fact
not busy. This case was overlooked when the patch to prevent the expiring
away of "scaffolding" directories for tree mounts was applied.
The problem arises when a tree of mounts is a member of a map with other keys.
The current logic will not expire the tree if any other mount in the map is
busy. The solution is to maintain a "minimum" use count for each autofs
dentry and compare this to the actual dentry usage count during expire.

Addresse a problem where stale dentrys stop mounts from happening.
When a mount point directory is pre-created and a non-existent entry within it
is requested a dentry ends up being created within the mount point directory
which stops future mounts. The problem is solved by ignoring negative,
unhashed dentrys in the mount point d_subdirs list.
Additionally the apparent cacheing of -ENOENT returns from requests is
removed. The test on d_time is a tautology and d_time is not initialised and
has an unexpected value. In short it doesn't do what it's meant to.
The cacheing of failed requests to the daemon is important and will be
followed up later.

Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.
Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)
This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.
At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.
Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)
As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

For browsable autofs maps, a mount request that arrives at the same time an
expire is happening can fail to perform the needed mount.
This happens becuase the directory exists and so the revalidate succeeds when
we need it to fail so that lookup is called on the same dentry to do the
mount. Instead lookup is called on the next path component which should be
whithin the mount, but the parent isn't mounted.
The solution is to allow the revalidate to continue and perform the mount as
no directory creation (at mount time) is needed for browsable mount entries.

At the tail end of an expire it's possible for a process to enter
autofs4_wait, with a waitq type of NFY_NONE but find that the expire is
finished. In this cause autofs4_wait will try to create a new wait but not
notify the daemon leading to a hang. As the wait type is meant to delay mount
requests from revalidate or lookup during an expire and the expire is done all
we need to do is check if the dentry is a mountpoint. If it's not then we're
