Enable autofs4 to work in a "container". oz_pgrp is converted from
pid_t to struct pid and this is stored at mount time based on the
"pgrp=" option or if the option is missing then the current pgrp.
The "pgrp=" option is interpreted in the PID namespace of the current
process. This option is flawed in that it doesn't carry the namespace
information, so it should be deprecated. AFAICS the autofs daemon
always sends the current pgrp, which is the default anyway.
The oz_pgrp is also set from the AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_SETPIPEFD_CMD ioctl.
This ioctl sets oz_pgrp to the current pgrp. It is not allowed to
change the pid namespace.
oz_pgrp is used mainly to determine whether the process traversing the
autofs mount tree is the autofs daemon itself or not. This function now
compares the pid pointers instead of the pid_t values.
One other use of oz_pgrp is in autofs4_show_options. There is shows the
virtual pid number (i.e. the one that is valid inside the PID namespace
of the calling process)
For debugging printk convert oz_pgrp to the value in the initial pid
namespace.

Use kuid_t and kgid_t in struct autofs_info and struct autofs_wait_queue.
When creating directories and symlinks default the uid and gid of
the mount requester to the global root uid and gid. autofs4_wait
will update these fields when a mount is requested.
When generating autofsv5 packets report the uid and gid of the mount
requestor in user namespace of the process that opened the pipe,
reporting unmapped uids and gids as overflowuid and overflowgid.
In autofs_dev_ioctl_requester return the uid and gid of the last mount
requester converted into the calling processes user namespace. When the
uid or gid don't map return overflowuid and overflowgid as appropriate,
allowing failure to find a mount requester to be distinguished from
failure to map a mount requester.
The uid and gid mount options specifying the user and group of the
root autofs inode are converted into kuid and kgid as they are parsed
defaulting to the current uid and current gid of the process that
mounts autofs.
Mounting of autofs for the present remains confined to processes in
the initial user namespace.

The autofs packet size has had a very unfortunate size problem on x86:
because the alignment of 'u64' differs in 32-bit and 64-bit modes, and
because the packet data was not 8-byte aligned, the size of the autofsv5
packet structure differed between 32-bit and 64-bit modes despite
looking otherwise identical (300 vs 304 bytes respectively).
We first fixed that up by making the 64-bit compat mode know about this
problem in commit a32744d4ab ("autofs: work around unhappy compat
problem on x86-64"), and that made a 32-bit 'systemd' work happily on a
64-bit kernel because everything then worked the same way as on a 32-bit
kernel.
But it turned out that 'automount' had actually known and worked around
this problem in user space, so fixing the kernel to do the proper 32-bit
compatibility handling actually *broke* 32-bit automount on a 64-bit
kernel, because it knew that the packet sizes were wrong and expected
those incorrect sizes.
As a result, we ended up reverting that compatibility mode fix, and
thus breaking systemd again, in commit fcbf94b9de.
With both automount and systemd doing a single read() system call, and
verifying that they get *exactly* the size they expect but using
different sizes, it seemed that fixing one of them inevitably seemed to
break the other. At one point, a patch I seriously considered applying
from Michael Tokarev did a "strcmp()" to see if it was automount that
was doing the operation. Ugly, ugly.
However, a prettier solution exists now thanks to the packetized pipe
mode. By marking the communication pipe as being packetized (by simply
setting the O_DIRECT flag), we can always just write the bigger packet
size, and if user-space does a smaller read, it will just get that
partial end result and the extra alignment padding will simply be thrown
away.
This makes both automount and systemd happy, since they now get the size
they asked for, and the kernel side of autofs simply no longer needs to
care - it could pad out the packet arbitrarily.
Of course, if there is some *other* user of autofs (please, please,
please tell me it ain't so - and we haven't heard of any) that tries to
read the packets with multiple writes, that other user will now be
broken - the whole point of the packetized mode is that one system call
gets exactly one packet, and you cannot read a packet in pieces.

This reverts commit a32744d4ab.
While that commit was technically the right thing to do, and made the
x86-64 compat mode work identically to native 32-bit mode (and thus
fixing the problem with a 32-bit systemd install on a 64-bit kernel), it
turns out that the automount binaries had workarounds for this compat
problem.
Now, the workarounds are disgusting: doing an "uname()" to find out the
architecture of the kernel, and then comparing it for the 64-bit cases
and fixing up the size of the read() in automount for those. And they
were confused: it's not actually a generic 64-bit issue at all, it's
very much tied to just x86-64, which has different alignment for an
'u64' in 64-bit mode than in 32-bit mode.
But the end result is that fixing the compat layer actually breaks the
case of a 32-bit automount on a x86-64 kernel.
There are various approaches to fix this (including just doing a
"strcmp()" on current->comm and comparing it to "automount"), but I
think that I will do the one that teaches pipes about a special "packet
mode", which will allow user space to not have to care too deeply about
the padding at the end of the autofs packet.
That change will make the compat workaround unnecessary, so let's revert
it first, and get automount working again in compat mode. The
packetized pipes will then fix autofs for systemd.

When the autofs protocol version 5 packet type was added in commit
5c0a32fc2c ("autofs4: add new packet type for v5 communications"), it
obvously tried quite hard to be word-size agnostic, and uses explicitly
sized fields that are all correctly aligned.
However, with the final "char name[NAME_MAX+1]" array at the end, the
actual size of the structure ends up being not very well defined:
because the struct isn't marked 'packed', doing a "sizeof()" on it will
align the size of the struct up to the biggest alignment of the members
it has.
And despite all the members being the same, the alignment of them is
different: a "__u64" has 4-byte alignment on x86-32, but native 8-byte
alignment on x86-64. And while 'NAME_MAX+1' ends up being a nice round
number (256), the name[] array starts out a 4-byte aligned.
End result: the "packed" size of the structure is 300 bytes: 4-byte, but
not 8-byte aligned.
As a result, despite all the fields being in the same place on all
architectures, sizeof() will round up that size to 304 bytes on
architectures that have 8-byte alignment for u64.
Note that this is *not* a problem for 32-bit compat mode on POWER, since
there __u64 is 8-byte aligned even in 32-bit mode. But on x86, 32-bit
and 64-bit alignment is different for 64-bit entities, and as a result
the structure that has exactly the same layout has different sizes.
So on x86-64, but no other architecture, we will just subtract 4 from
the size of the structure when running in a compat task. That way we
will write the properly sized packet that user mode expects.
Not pretty. Sadly, this very subtle, and unnecessary, size difference
has been encoded in user space that wants to read packets of *exactly*
the right size, and will refuse to touch anything else.

This patch required a previous patch to add the ->d_automount()
dentry operation.
Add a function to use the newly defined ->d_manage() dentry operation
for blocking during mount and expire.
Whether the VFS calls the dentry operations d_automount() and d_manage()
is controled by the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT and DMANAGED_TRANSIT flags. autofs
uses the d_automount() operation to callback to user space to request
mount operations and the d_manage() operation to block walks into mounts
that are under construction or destruction.
In order to prevent these functions from being called unnecessarily the
DMANAGED_* flags are cleared for cases which would cause this. In the
common case the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT and DMANAGED_TRANSIT flags are both
set for dentrys waiting to be mounted. The DMANAGED_TRANSIT flag is
cleared upon successful mount request completion and set during expire
runs, both during the dentry expire check, and if selected for expire,
is left set until a subsequent successful mount request completes.
The exception to this is the so-called rootless multi-mount which has
no actual mount at its base. In this case the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT flag
is cleared upon successful mount request completion as well and set
again after a successful expire.

Add a dentry op (d_manage) to permit a filesystem to hold a process and make it
sleep when it tries to transit away from one of that filesystem's directories
during a pathwalk. The operation is keyed off a new dentry flag
(DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT).
The filesystem is allowed to be selective about which processes it holds and
which it permits to continue on or prohibits from transiting from each flagged
directory. This will allow autofs to hold up client processes whilst letting
its userspace daemon through to maintain the directory or the stuff behind it
or mounted upon it.
The ->d_manage() dentry operation:
int (*d_manage)(struct path *path, bool mounting_here);
takes a pointer to the directory about to be transited away from and a flag
indicating whether the transit is undertaken by do_add_mount() or
do_move_mount() skipping through a pile of filesystems mounted on a mountpoint.
It should return 0 if successful and to let the process continue on its way;
-EISDIR to prohibit the caller from skipping to overmounted filesystems or
automounting, and to use this directory; or some other error code to return to
the user.
->d_manage() is called with namespace_sem writelocked if mounting_here is true
and no other locks held, so it may sleep. However, if mounting_here is true,
it may not initiate or wait for a mount or unmount upon the parameter
directory, even if the act is actually performed by userspace.
Within fs/namei.c, follow_managed() is extended to check with d_manage() first
on each managed directory, before transiting away from it or attempting to
automount upon it.
follow_down() is renamed follow_down_one() and should only be used where the
filesystem deliberately intends to avoid management steps (e.g. autofs).
A new follow_down() is added that incorporates the loop done by all other
callers of follow_down() (do_add/move_mount(), autofs and NFSD; whilst AFS, NFS
and CIFS do use it, their use is removed by converting them to use
d_automount()). The new follow_down() calls d_manage() as appropriate. It
also takes an extra parameter to indicate if it is being called from mount code
(with namespace_sem writelocked) which it passes to d_manage(). follow_down()
ignores automount points so that it can be used to mount on them.
__follow_mount_rcu() is made to abort rcu-walk mode if it hits a directory with
DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT set on the basis that we're probably going to have to
sleep. It would be possible to enter d_manage() in rcu-walk mode too, and have
that determine whether to abort or not itself. That would allow the autofs
daemon to continue on in rcu-walk mode.
Note that DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT on a directory should be cleared when it isn't
required as every tranist from that directory will cause d_manage() to be
invoked. It can always be set again when necessary.
==========================
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR AUTOFS
==========================
Autofs currently uses the lookup() inode op and the d_revalidate() dentry op to
trigger the automounting of indirect mounts, and both of these can be called
with i_mutex held.
autofs knows that the i_mutex will be held by the caller in lookup(), and so
can drop it before invoking the daemon - but this isn't so for d_revalidate(),
since the lock is only held on _some_ of the code paths that call it. This
means that autofs can't risk dropping i_mutex from its d_revalidate() function
before it calls the daemon.
The bug could manifest itself as, for example, a process that's trying to
validate an automount dentry that gets made to wait because that dentry is
expired and needs cleaning up:
mkdir S ffffffff8014e05a 0 32580 24956

[<ffffffff80057a2f>] lookup_create+0x46/0x80
[<ffffffff800e6e31>] sys_mkdirat+0x56/0xe4
versus the automount daemon which wants to remove that dentry, but can't
because the normal process is holding the i_mutex lock:
automount D ffffffff8014e05a 0 32581 1 32561
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff80063c3f>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x60/0x9b

[<ffffffff8005d229>] tracesys+0x71/0xe0
[<ffffffff8005d28d>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0
which means that the system is deadlocked.
This patch allows autofs to hold up normal processes whilst the daemon goes
ahead and does things to the dentry tree behind the automouter point without
risking a deadlock as almost no locks are held in d_manage() and none in
d_automount().

The actual problem with autofs is that it can't reconnect to existing

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

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

descriptor for these over mounted autofs mount points.

/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.

The selection of a dentry for expiration and the setting of the
AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING flag isn't done atomically which can lead to lookups
walking into an expiring mount.
What happens is that an expire is initiated by the daemon and a dentry is
selected for expire but, since there is no lock held between the selection
and setting of the expiring flag, a process may find the flag clear and
continue walking into the mount tree at the same time the daemon attempts
the expire it.

If an autofs mount becomes catatonic before autofs4_wait_release() is
called the wait queue counter will not be decremented down to zero and the
entry will never be freed. There are also races decrementing the wait
counter in the wait release function. To deal with this the counter needs
to be updated while holding the wait queue mutex and waiters need to be
woken up unconditionally when the wait is removed from the queue to ensure
we eventually free the wait.

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.

The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
at the code for a long time.
The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
represent that fact,
* 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
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

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.

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.
