fscontext: do not consume log entries when returning -EMSGSIZE

2025-10-19T14:23:05+00:00

commit 72d271a7baa7062cb27e774ac37c5459c6d20e22 upstream. Userspace generally expects APIs that return -EMSGSIZE to allow for them to adjust their buffer size and retry the operation. However, the fscontext log would previously clear the message even in the -EMSGSIZE case. Given that it is very cheap for us to check whether the buffer is too small before we remove the message from the ring buffer, let's just do that instead. While we're at it, refactor some fscontext_read() into a separate helper to make the ring buffer logic a bit easier to read.

uninline may_mount() and don't opencode it in fspick(2)/fsopen(2)

2022-05-20T03:25:10+00:00

It's done once per (mount-related) syscall and there's no point whatsoever making it inline. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

treewide: Use fallthrough pseudo-keyword

2020-08-23T22:36:59+00:00

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary fall-through markings when it is the case.

add prefix to fs_context->log

2020-02-07T19:48:35+00:00

... turning it into struct p_log embedded into fs_context. Initialize the prefix with fs_type->name, turning fs_parse() into a trivial inline wrapper for __fs_parse(). This makes fs_parameter_description->name completely unused. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

get rid of fs_value_is_filename_empty

2020-02-07T19:48:30+00:00

Its behaviour is identical to that of fs_value_is_filename. It makes no sense, anyway - LOOKUP_EMPTY affects nothing whatsoever once the pathname has been imported from userland. And both fs_value_is_filename and fs_value_is_filename_empty carry an already imported pathname. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

move mount_capable() further out

2019-05-25T22:00:02+00:00

Call graph of vfs_get_tree(): vfs_fsconfig_locked() # neither kernmount, nor submount do_new_mount() # neither kernmount, nor submount fc_mount() afs_mntpt_do_automount() # submount mount_one_hugetlbfs() # kernmount pid_ns_prepare_proc() # kernmount mq_create_mount() # kernmount vfs_kern_mount() simple_pin_fs() # kernmount vfs_submount() # submount kern_mount() # kernmount init_mount_tree() btrfs_mount() nfs_do_root_mount() The first two need the check (unconditionally). init_mount_tree() is setting rootfs up; any capability checks make zero sense for that one. And btrfs_mount()/ nfs_do_root_mount() have the checks already done in their callers. IOW, we can shift mount_capable() handling into the two callers - one in the normal case of mount(2), another - in fsconfig(2) handling of FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE. I.e. the syscalls that set a new filesystem up. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

uapi, fsopen: use square brackets around "fscontext" [ver #2]

2019-05-16T16:23:45+00:00

Make the name of the anon inode fd "[fscontext]" instead of "fscontext". This is minor but most core-kernel anon inode fds already carry square brackets around their name: [eventfd] [eventpoll] [fanotify] [io_uring] [pidfd] [signalfd] [timerfd] [userfaultfd] For the sake of consistency lets do the same for the fscontext anon inode fd that comes with the new mount api.

vfs: syscall: Add fspick() to select a superblock for reconfiguration

2019-03-20T22:49:06+00:00

Provide an fspick() system call that can be used to pick an existing mountpoint into an fs_context which can thereafter be used to reconfigure a superblock (equivalent of the superblock side of -o remount). This looks like: int fd = fspick(AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", FSPICK_CLOEXEC | FSPICK_NO_AUTOMOUNT); fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "intr", NULL, 0); fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "noac", NULL, 0); fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_RECONFIGURE, NULL, NULL, 0); At the point of fspick being called, the file descriptor referring to the filesystem context is in exactly the same state as the one that was created by fsopen() after fsmount() has been successfully called.
