If we *do* run into an in-lookup match, we need to wait for it to
cease being in-lookup. Fortunately, we do have unused space in
in-lookup dentries - d_lru is never looked at until it stops being
in-lookup.
So we can stash a pointer to wait_queue_head from stack frame of
the caller of ->lookup(). Some precautions are needed while
waiting, but it's not that hard - we do hold a reference to dentry
we are waiting for, so it can't go away. If it's found to be
in-lookup the wait_queue_head is still alive and will remain so
at least while ->d_lock is held. Moreover, the condition we
are waiting for becomes true at the same point where everything
on that wq gets woken up, so we can just add ourselves to the
queue once.
d_alloc_parallel() gets a pointer to wait_queue_head_t from its
caller; lookup_slow() adjusted, d_add_ci() taught to use
d_alloc_parallel() if the dentry passed to it happens to be
in-lookup one (i.e. if it's been called from the parallel lookup).
That's pretty much it - all that remains is to switch ->i_mutex
to rwsem and have lookup_slow() take it shared.

We will need to be able to check if there is an in-lookup
dentry with matching parent/name. Right now it's impossible,
but as soon as start locking directories shared such beasts
will appear.
Add a secondary hash for locating those. Hash chains go through
the same space where d_alias will be once it's not in-lookup anymore.
Search is done under the same bitlock we use for modifications -
with the primary hash we can rely on d_rehash() into the wrong
chain being the worst that could happen, but here the pointers are
buggered once it's removed from the chain. On the other hand,
the chains are not going to be long and normally we'll end up
adding to the chain anyway. That allows us to avoid bothering with
->d_lock when doing the comparisons - everything is stable until
removed from chain.
New helper: d_alloc_parallel(). Right now it allocates, verifies
that no hashed and in-lookup matches exist and adds to in-lookup
hash.
Returns ERR_PTR() for error, hashed match (in the unlikely case it's
been found) or new dentry. In-lookup matches trigger BUG() for
now; that will change in the next commit when we introduce waiting
for ongoing lookup to finish. Note that in-lookup matches won't be
possible until we actually go for shared locking.
lookup_slow() switched to use of d_alloc_parallel().
Again, these commits are separated only for making it easier to
review. All this machinery will start doing something useful only
when we go for shared locking; it's just that the combination is
too large for my taste.

marked as such when (would be) parallel lookup is about to pass them
to actual ->lookup(); unmarked when
* __d_add() is about to make it hashed, positive or not.
* __d_move() (from d_splice_alias(), directly or via
__d_unalias()) puts a preexisting dentry in its place
* in caller of ->lookup() if it has escaped all of the
above. Bug (WARN_ON, actually) if it reaches the final dput()
or d_instantiate() while still marked such.
As the result, we are guaranteed that for as long as the flag is
set, dentry will
* remain negative unhashed with positive refcount
* never have its ->d_alias looked at
* never have its ->d_lru looked at
* never have its ->d_parent and ->d_name changed
Right now we have at most one such for any given parent directory.
With parallel lookups that restriction will weaken to
* only exist when parent is locked shared
* at most one with given (parent,name) pair (comparison of
names is according to ->d_compare())
* only exist when there's no hashed dentry with the same
(parent,name)
Transition will take the next several commits; unfortunately, we'll
only be able to switch to rwsem at the end of this series. The
reason for not making it a single patch is to simplify review.
New primitives: d_in_lookup() (a predicate checking if dentry is in
the in-lookup state) and d_lookup_done() (tells the system that
we are done with lookup and if it's still marked as in-lookup, it
should cease to be such).

Commit 3034a14 "ima: pass 'opened' flag to identify newly created files"
stopped identifying empty files as new files. However new empty files
can be created using the mknodat syscall. On systems with IMA-appraisal
enabled, these empty files are not labeled with security.ima extended
attributes properly, preventing them from subsequently being opened in
order to write the file data contents. This patch defines a new hook
named ima_post_path_mknod() to mark these empty files, created using
mknodat, as new in order to allow the file data contents to be written.
In addition, files with security.ima xattrs containing a file signature
are considered "immutable" and can not be modified. The file contents
need to be written, before signing the file. This patch relaxes this
requirement for new files, allowing the file signature to be written
before the file contents.
Changelog:
- defer identifying files with signatures stored as security.ima
(based on Dmitry Rozhkov's comments)
- removing tests (eg. dentry, dentry->d_inode, inode->i_size == 0)
(based on Al's review)

* if we have a hashed negative dentry and either CREAT|EXCL on
r/o filesystem, or CREAT|TRUNC on r/o filesystem, or CREAT|EXCL
with failing may_o_create(), we should fail with EROFS or the
error may_o_create() has returned, but not ENOENT. Which is what
the current code ends up returning.
* if we have CREAT|TRUNC hitting a regular file on a read-only
filesystem, we can't fail with EROFS here. At the very least,
not until we'd done follow_managed() - we might have a writable
file (or a device, for that matter) bound on top of that one.
Moreover, the code downstream will see that O_TRUNC and attempt
to grab the write access (*after* following possible mount), so
if we really should fail with EROFS, it will happen. No need
to do that inside atomic_open().
The real logics is much simpler than what the current code is
trying to do - if we decided to go for simple lookup, ended
up with a negative dentry *and* had create_error set, fail with
create_error. No matter whether we'd got that negative dentry
from lookup_real() or had found it in dcache.

When get_acl() is called for an inode whose ACL is not cached yet, the
get_acl inode operation is called to fetch the ACL from the filesystem.
The inode operation is responsible for updating the cached acl with
set_cached_acl(). This is done without locking at the VFS level, so
another task can call set_cached_acl() or forget_cached_acl() before the
get_acl inode operation gets to calling set_cached_acl(), and then
get_acl's call to set_cached_acl() results in caching an outdate ACL.
Prevent this from happening by setting the cached ACL pointer to a
task-specific sentinel value before calling the get_acl inode operation.
Move the responsibility for updating the cached ACL from the get_acl
inode operations to get_acl(). There, only set the cached ACL if the
sentinel value hasn't changed.
The sentinel values are chosen to have odd values. Likewise, the value
of ACL_NOT_CACHED is odd. In contrast, ACL object pointers always have
an even value (ACLs are aligned in memory). This allows to distinguish
uncached ACLs values from ACL objects.
In addition, switch from guarding inode->i_acl and inode->i_default_acl
upates by the inode->i_lock spinlock to using xchg() and cmpxchg().
Filesystems that do not want ACLs returned from their get_acl inode
operations to be cached must call forget_cached_acl() to prevent the VFS
from doing so.

We need information about exports when crossing mountpoints during
lookup or NFSv4 readdir. If we don't already have that information
cached, we may have to ask (and wait for) rpc.mountd.
In both cases we currently hold the i_mutex on the parent of the
directory we're asking rpc.mountd about. We've seen situations where
rpc.mountd performs some operation on that directory that tries to take
the i_mutex again, resulting in deadlock.
With some care, we may be able to avoid that in rpc.mountd. But it
seems better just to avoid holding a mutex while waiting on userspace.
It appears that lookup_one_len is pretty much the only operation that
needs the i_mutex. So we could just drop the i_mutex elsewhere and do
something like
mutex_lock()
lookup_one_len()
mutex_unlock()
In many cases though the lookup would have been cached and not required
the i_mutex, so it's more efficient to create a lookup_one_len() variant
that only takes the i_mutex when necessary.

In rare cases a directory can be renamed out from under a bind mount.
In those cases without special handling it becomes possible to walk up
the directory tree to the root dentry of the filesystem and down
from the root dentry to every other file or directory on the filesystem.
Like division by zero .. from an unconnected path can not be given
a useful semantic as there is no predicting at which path component
the code will realize it is unconnected. We certainly can not match
the current behavior as the current behavior is a security hole.
Therefore when encounting .. when following an unconnected path
return -ENOENT.
- Add a function path_connected to verify path->dentry is reachable
from path->mnt.mnt_root. AKA to validate that rename did not do
something nasty to the bind mount.
To avoid races path_connected must be called after following a path

Breakage had been introduced in commit b18825a - prior to that
we were looking at nd->inode, which had been fetched before
verifying that ->d_seq was still valid. That form of check
would only be satisfied if at some point the pathname prefix
would indeed have resolved to a non-directory. The fix consists
of checking ->d_seq after we'd run into a non-directory dentry,

b) make it putname(name) upon return in all other cases.

Otherwise we are risking a hard error where nonlazy restart would be the right
thing to do; it's a very narrow race with mount --move and most of the time it
ends up being completely harmless, but it's possible to construct a case when
we'll get a bogus hard error instead of falling back to non-lazy walk...
For one thing, when crossing _into_ overmount of parent we need to check for
mount_lock bumps when we get NULL from __lookup_mnt() as well.
For another, and less exotically, we need to make sure that the data fetched
in follow_up_rcu() had been consistent. ->mnt_mountpoint is pinned for as
long as it is a mountpoint, but we need to check mount_lock after fetching
to verify that.

touch_atime is not RCU-safe, and so cannot be called on an RCU walk.
However, in situations where RCU-walk makes a difference, the symlink
will likely to accessed much more often than it is useful to update
the atime.
So split out the test of "Does the atime actually need to be updated"
into atime_needs_update(), and have get_link() unlazy if it finds that
it will need to do that update.

We are almost done - primitives for leaving RCU mode are aware of nd->stack
now, a new primitive for going to non-RCU mode when we have a symlink on hands
added.
The thing we are heavily relying upon is that *any* unlazy failure will be
shortly followed by terminate_walk(), with no access to nameidata in between.
So it's enough to leave the things in a state terminate_walk() would cope with.

We *can't* call that audit garbage in RCU mode - it's doing a weird
mix of allocations (GFP_NOFS, immediately followed by GFP_KERNEL)
and I'm not touching that... thing again.
So if this security sclero^Whardening feature gets triggered when
we are in RCU mode, tough - we'll fail with -ECHILD and have
everything restarted in non-RCU mode. Only to hit the same test
and fail, this time with EACCES and with (oh, rapture) an audit spew
produced.

very simple - just make path_put() conditional on !RCU.
Note that right now it doesn't get called in RCU mode -
we leave it before getting anything into stack.

inode_follow_link now takes an inode and rcu flag as well as the
dentry.
inode is used in preference to d_backing_inode(dentry), particularly
in RCU-walk mode.
selinux_inode_follow_link() gets dentry_has_perm() and
inode_has_perm() open-coded into it so that it can call
avc_has_perm_flags() in way that is safe if LOOKUP_RCU is set.
Calling avc_has_perm_flags() with rcu_read_lock() held means
that when avc_has_perm_noaudit calls avc_compute_av(), the attempt
to rcu_read_unlock() before calling security_compute_av() will not
actually drop the RCU read-lock.
However as security_compute_av() is completely in a read_lock()ed
region, it should be safe with the RCU read-lock held.

Make use of d_backing_inode() in pathwalk to gain access to an
inode or dentry that's on a lower layer.

Lift it from link_path_walk(), trailing_symlink(), lookup_last(),
mountpoint_last(), complete_walk() and do_last(). A _lot_ of
those suckers merge.

Make trailing_symlink() return the pathname to traverse or ERR_PTR(-E...).
A subtle point is that for "magic" symlinks it returns "" now - that
leads to link_path_walk("", nd), which is immediately returning 0 and
we are back to the treatment of the last component, at whereever the
damn thing has left us.
Reduces the stack footprint - link_path_walk() called on more shallow
stack now.

* lift link_path_walk() into callers; moving it down into path_init()
had been a mistake. Stack footprint, among other things...
* do _not_ call path_cleanup() after path_init() failure; on all failure
exits out of it we have nothing for path_cleanup() to do
* have path_init() return pathname or ERR_PTR(-E...)

we can do fdput() under rcu_read_lock() just fine; all we need to take
care of is fetching nd->inode value first.

Makes the situation much more regular - we avoid a strange state
when the element just after the top of stack is used to store
struct path of symlink, but isn't counted in nd->depth. This
is much more regular, so the normal failure exits, etc., work
fine.

Just store it in nd->stack[nd->depth].link right in pick_link().
Now that we make sure of stack expansion in pick_link(), we can
do so...

... and don't open-code unlazy_walk() in there - the only reason
for that is to avoid verfication of cached nd->root, which is
trivially avoided by discarding said cached nd->root first.

rather than letting the callers handle the jump-to-root part of
semantics, do it right in get_link() and return the rest of the
body for the caller to deal with - at that point it's treated
the same way as relative symlinks would be. And return NULL
when there's no "rest of the body" - those are treated the same
as pure jump symlink would be.

Instead of saving name and branching to OK:, where we'll immediately restore
it, and call walk_component() with WALK_PUT|WALK_GET and nd->last_type being
LAST_BIND, which is equivalent to put_link(nd), err = 0, we can just treat
that the same way we'd treat procfs-style "jump" symlinks - do put_link(nd)
and move on.
