We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into
kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly. This patch
rearranges mount path so that the kernfs and sysfs parts are separate.
* As sysfs_super_info won't be visible outside kernfs proper,
kernfs_super_ns() is added to allow kernfs users to access a
super_block's namespace tag.
* Generic mount operation is separated out into kernfs_mount_ns().
sysfs_mount() now just performs sysfs-specific permission check,
acquires namespace tag, and invokes kernfs_mount_ns().
* Generic superblock release is separated out into kernfs_kill_sb()
which can be used directly as file_system_type->kill_sb(). As sysfs
needs to put the namespace tag, sysfs_kill_sb() wraps
kernfs_kill_sb() with ns tag put.
* sysfs_dir_cachep init and sysfs_inode_init() are separated out into
kernfs_init(). kernfs_init() uses only small amount of memory and
trying to handle and propagate kernfs_init() failure doesn't make
much sense. Use SLAB_PANIC for sysfs_dir_cachep and make
sysfs_inode_init() panic on failure.
After this change, kernfs_init() should be called before
sysfs_init(), fs/namespace.c::mnt_init() modified accordingly.

e51db73532
userns: Better restrictions on when proc and sysfs can be mounted
caused a regression on mounting a new instance of proc in a mount
namespace created with user namespace privileges, when binfmt_misc
is mounted on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc.
This is an unintended regression caused by the absolutely bogus empty
directory check in fs_fully_visible. The check fs_fully_visible replaced
didn't even bother to attempt to verify proc was fully visible and
hiding proc files with any kind of mount is rare. So for now fix
the userspace regression by allowing directory with nlink == 1
as /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc has.
I will have a better patch but it is not stable material, or
last minute kernel material. So it will have to wait.

* RCU-delayed freeing of vfsmounts
* vfsmount_lock replaced with a seqlock (mount_lock)
* sequence number from mount_lock is stored in nameidata->m_seq and
used when we exit RCU mode
* new vfsmount flag - MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT. Set by umount_tree() when its
caller knows that vfsmount will have no surviving references.
* synchronize_rcu() done between unlocking namespace_sem in namespace_unlock()
and doing pending mntput().
* new helper: legitimize_mnt(mnt, seq). Checks the mount_lock sequence
number against seq, then grabs reference to mnt. Then it rechecks mount_lock
again to close the race and either returns success or drops the reference it
has acquired. The subtle point is that in case of MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT we can
simply decrement the refcount and sod off - aforementioned synchronize_rcu()
makes sure that final mntput() won't come until we leave RCU mode. We need
that, since we don't want to end up with some lazy pathwalk racing with
umount() and stealing the final mntput() from it - caller of umount() may
expect it to return only once the fs is shut down and we don't want to break
that. In other cases (i.e. with MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT absent) we have to do
full-blown mntput() in case of mount_lock sequence number mismatch happening
just as we'd grabbed the reference, but in those cases we won't be stealing
the final mntput() from anything that would care.
* mntput_no_expire() doesn't lock anything on the fast path now. Incidentally,
SMP and UP cases are handled the same way - no ifdefs there.
* normal pathname resolution does *not* do any writes to mount_lock. It does,
of course, bump the refcounts of vfsmount and dentry in the very end, but that's
it.

We check submounts before doing d_drop() on a non-empty directory dentry in
NFS (have_submounts()), but we do not exclude a racing mount. Nor do we
prevent mounts to be added to the disconnected subtree using relative paths
after the d_drop().
This patch fixes these issues by checking for unlinked (unhashed, non-root)
ancestors before proceeding with the mount. This is done with rename
seqlock taken for write and with ->d_lock grabbed on each ancestor in turn,
including our dentry itself. This ensures that the only one of
check_submounts_and_drop() or has_unlinked_ancestor() can succeed.

Christopher reported a regression where he was unable to unmount a NFS
filesystem where the root had gone stale. The problem is that
d_revalidate handles the root of the filesystem differently from other
dentries, but d_weak_revalidate does not. We could simply fix this by
making d_weak_revalidate return success on IS_ROOT dentries, but there
are cases where we do want to revalidate the root of the fs.
A umount is really a special case. We generally aren't interested in
anything but the dentry and vfsmount that's attached at that point. If
the inode turns out to be stale we just don't care since the intent is
to stop using it anyway.
Try to handle this situation better by treating umount as a special
case in the lookup code. Have it resolve the parent using normal
means, and then do a lookup of the final dentry without revalidating
it. In most cases, the final lookup will come out of the dcache, but
the case where there's a trailing symlink or !LAST_NORM entry on the
end complicates things a bit.

Rely on the fact that another flavor of the filesystem is already

Verify that the mounted filesystem is not covered in any significant
way. I would love to verify that the previously mounted filesystem
has no mounts on top but there are at least the directories
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc and /sys/fs/cgroup/ that exist explicitly
for other filesystems to mount on top of.
Refactor the test into a function named fs_fully_visible and call that

test local to the filesystems involved and the results current of when
the mounts take place, removing a weird threading of the user

When creating a less privileged mount namespace or propogating mounts
from a more privileged to a less privileged mount namespace lock the
submounts so they may not be unmounted individually in the child mount
namespace revealing what is under them.
This enforces the reasonable expectation that it is not possible to
see under a mount point. Most of the time mounts are on empty
directories and revealing that does not matter, however I have seen an
occassionaly sloppy configuration where there were interesting things
concealed under a mount point that probably should not be revealed.
Expirable submounts are not locked because they will eventually
unmount automatically so whatever is under them already needs
to be safe for unprivileged users to access.
From a practical standpoint these restrictions do not appear to be
significant for unprivileged users of the mount namespace. Recursive
bind mounts and pivot_root continues to work, and mounts that are
created in a mount namespace may be unmounted there. All of which
means that the common idiom of keeping a directory of interesting
files and using pivot_root to throw everything else away continues to
work just fine.

are created while at the same time proc and sysfs have content that

Respect the policy of who may see the shared content of proc and sysfs

In practice there are only two interesting cases: proc and sysfs are

Guarantee that the policy of which files may be access that is
established by setting the root directory will not be violated
by user namespaces by verifying that the root directory points
to the root of the mount namespace at the time of user namespace
creation.
Changing the root is a privileged operation, and as a matter of policy
it serves to limit unprivileged processes to files below the current
root directory.
For reasons of simplicity and comprehensibility the privilege to
change the root directory is gated solely on the CAP_SYS_CHROOT
capability in the user namespace. Therefore when creating a user
namespace we must ensure that the policy of which files may be access
can not be violated by changing the root directory.
Anyone who runs a processes in a chroot and would like to use user
namespace can setup the same view of filesystems with a mount
namespace instead. With this result that this is not a practical
limitation for using user namespaces.

Which made the following nasty sequence possible.
pid = clone(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS);
if (pid == 0) { /* child */
system("mount --bind /home/me/passwd /etc/passwd");
}
else if (pid != 0) { /* parent */

Assign a unique proc inode to each namespace, and use that

inode for every namespace in proc.
A single proc inode per namespace allows userspace to test
to see if two processes are in the same namespace.
This has been a long requested feature and only blocked because
a naive implementation would put the id in a global space and
would ultimately require having a namespace for the names of
namespaces, making migration and certain virtualization tricks
impossible.
We still don't have per superblock inode numbers for proc, which
appears necessary for application unaware checkpoint/restart and
migrations (if the application is using namespace file descriptors)
but that is now allowd by the design if it becomes important.

setns support for the mount namespace is a little tricky as an
arbitrary decision must be made about what to set fs->root and
fs->pwd to, as there is no expectation of a relationship between
the two mount namespaces. Therefore I arbitrarily find the root
mount point, and follow every mount on top of it to find the top
of the mount stack. Then I set fs->root and fs->pwd to that
location. The topmost root of the mount stack seems like a
reasonable place to be.
Bind mount support for the mount namespace inodes has the
possibility of creating circular dependencies between mount
namespaces. Circular dependencies can result in loops that
prevent mount namespaces from every being freed. I avoid
creating those circular dependencies by adding a sequence number
to the mount namespace and require all bind mounts be of a
younger mount namespace into an older mount namespace.
Add a helper function proc_ns_inode so it is possible to
detect when we are attempting to bind mound a namespace inode.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

with MNT_SHRINKABLE in flags (i.e. from finish_automount()). The
reason is that ->mnt_ns may be a temporary namespace created exactly
to contain automounts a-la NFS4 referral handling. It's not the

don't rely on proc_mounts->m being the first field; container_of()
is there for purpose. No need to bother with ->private, while
we are at it - the same container_of will do nicely.

it's enough to set ->mnt_ns of internal vfsmounts to something
distinct from all struct mnt_namespace out there; then we can
just use the check for ->mnt_ns != NULL in the fast path of
mntput_no_expire()

__mnt_make_shortterm() in there undoes the effect of __mnt_make_longterm()
we'd done back when we set ->mnt_ns non-NULL; it should not be done to
vfsmounts that had never gone through commit_tree() and friends. Kudos to
lczerner for catching that one...

lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
in lglock.h. But there's no reason to not just use common utility
functions and put all the data into a common data structure.
In preparation, this patch changes the API to look more like normal
function calls with pointers, not magic macros.
The patch is rather large because I move over all users in one go to keep
it bisectable. This impacts the VFS somewhat in terms of lines changed.
But no actual behaviour change.

If there are any inodes on the super block that have been unlinked
(i_nlink == 0) but have not yet been deleted then prevent the
remounting the super block read-only.

Currently remouting superblock read-only is racy in a major way.
With the per mount read-only infrastructure it is now possible to
prevent most races, which this patch attempts.
Before starting the remount read-only, iterate through all mounts
belonging to the superblock and if none of them have any pending
writes, set sb->s_readonly_remount. This indicates that remount is in
progress and no further write requests are allowed. If the remount
succeeds set MS_RDONLY and reset s_readonly_remount.
If the remounting is unsuccessful just reset s_readonly_remount.
This can result in transient EROFS errors, despite the fact the
remount failed. Unfortunately hodling off writes is difficult as
remount itself may touch the filesystem (e.g. through load_nls())
which would deadlock.
A later patch deals with delayed writes due to nlink going to zero.
