fs/super.c: introduce get_tree_bdev_flags()

2024-10-21T12:30:26+00:00

As Allison reported [1], currently get_tree_bdev() will store "Can't lookup blockdev" error message. Although it makes sense for pure bdev-based fses, this message may mislead users who try to use EROFS file-backed mounts since get_tree_nodev() is used as a fallback then. Add get_tree_bdev_flags() to specify extensible flags [2] and GET_TREE_BDEV_QUIET_LOOKUP to silence "Can't lookup blockdev" message since it's misleading to EROFS file-backed mounts now.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the usual pile of misc updates: Features: - Add F_CREATED_QUERY fcntl() that allows userspace to query whether a file was actually created. Often userspace wants to know whether an O_CREATE request did actually create a file without using O_EXCL. The current logic is that to first attempts to open the file without O_CREAT | O_EXCL and if ENOENT is returned userspace tries again with both flags. If that succeeds all is well. If it now reports EEXIST it retries. That works fairly well but some corner cases make this more involved. If this operates on a dangling symlink the first openat() without O_CREAT | O_EXCL will return ENOENT but the second openat() with O_CREAT | O_EXCL will fail with EEXIST. The reason is that openat() without O_CREAT | O_EXCL follows the symlink while O_CREAT | O_EXCL doesn't for security reasons. So it's not something we can really change unless we add an explicit opt-in via O_FOLLOW which seems really ugly. All available workarounds are really nasty (fanotify, bpf lsm etc) so add a simple fcntl(). - Try an opportunistic lookup for O_CREAT. Today, when opening a file we'll typically do a fast lookup, but if O_CREAT is set, the kernel always takes the exclusive inode lock. This was likely done with the expectation that O_CREAT means that we always expect to do the create, but that's often not the case. Many programs set O_CREAT even in scenarios where the file already exists (see related F_CREATED_QUERY patch motivation above). The series contained in the pr rearranges the pathwalk-for-open code to also attempt a fast_lookup in certain O_CREAT cases. If a positive dentry is found, the inode_lock can be avoided altogether and it can stay in rcuwalk mode for the last step_into. - Expose the 64 bit mount id via name_to_handle_at() Now that we provide a unique 64-bit mount ID interface in statx(2), we can now provide a race-free way for name_to_handle_at(2) to provide a file handle and corresponding mount without needing to worry about racing with /proc/mountinfo parsing or having to open a file just to do statx(2). While this is not necessary if you are using AT_EMPTY_PATH and don't care about an extra statx(2) call, users that pass full paths into name_to_handle_at(2) need to know which mount the file handle comes from (to make sure they don't try to open_by_handle_at a file handle from a different filesystem) and switching to AT_EMPTY_PATH would require allocating a file for every name_to_handle_at(2) call - Add a per dentry expire timeout to autofs There are two fairly well known automounter map formats, the autofs format and the amd format (more or less System V and Berkley). Some time ago Linux autofs added an amd map format parser that implemented a fair amount of the amd functionality. This was done within the autofs infrastructure and some functionality wasn't implemented because it either didn't make sense or required extra kernel changes. The idea was to restrict changes to be within the existing autofs functionality as much as possible and leave changes with a wider scope to be considered later. One of these changes is implementing the amd options: 1) "unmount", expire this mount according to a timeout (same as the current autofs default). 2) "nounmount", don't expire this mount (same as setting the autofs timeout to 0 except only for this specific mount) . 3) "utimeout=", expire this mount using the specified timeout (again same as setting the autofs timeout but only for this mount) To implement these options per-dentry expire timeouts need to be implemented for autofs indirect mounts. This is because all map keys (mounts) for autofs indirect mounts use an expire timeout stored in the autofs mount super block info. structure and all indirect mounts use the same expire timeout. Fixes: - Fix missing fput for FSCONFIG_SET_FD in autofs - Use param->file for FSCONFIG_SET_FD in coda - Delete the 'fs/netfs' proc subtreee when netfs module exits - Make sure that struct uid_gid_map fits into a single cacheline - Don't flush in-flight wb switches for superblocks without cgroup writeback - Correcting the idmapping mount example in the idmapping documentation - Fix a race between evice_inodes() and find_inode() and iput() - Refine the show_inode_state() macro definition in writeback code - Prevent dump_mapping() from accessing invalid dentry.d_name.name - Show actual source for debugfs in /proc/mounts - Annotate data-race of busy_poll_usecs in eventpoll - Don't WARN for racy path_noexec check in exec code - Handle OOM on mnt_warn_timestamp_expiry() - Fix some spelling in the iomap design documentation - Fix typo in procfs comment - Fix typo in fs/namespace.c comment Cleanups: - Add the VFS git tree to the MAINTAINERS file - Move FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET to fop_flags freeing up another f_mode bit in struct file bringing us to 5 free f_mode bits - Remove the __I_DIO_WAKEUP bit from i_state flags as we can simplify the wait mechanism - Remove the unused path_put_init() helper - Replace a __u32 with u32 for s_fsnotify_mask as __u32 is uapi specific - Replace the unsigned long i_state member with a u32 i_state member in struct inode freeing up 4 bytes in struct inode.

fs: don't flush in-flight wb switches for superblocks without cgroup writeback

2024-08-19T11:45:02+00:00

When deactivating any type of superblock, it had to wait for the in-flight wb switches to be completed. wb switches are executed in inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() which needs to acquire the wb_switch_rwsem and races against sync_inodes_sb(). If there are too much dirty data in the superblock, the waiting time may increase significantly. For superblocks without cgroup writeback such as tmpfs, they have nothing to do with the wb swithes, so the flushing can be avoided.

fs: don't allow non-init s_user_ns for filesystems without FS_USERNS_MOUNT

2024-07-27T07:56:33+00:00

Christian noticed that it is possible for a privileged user to mount most filesystems with a non-initial user namespace in sb->s_user_ns. When fsopen() is called in a non-init namespace the caller's namespace is recorded in fs_context->user_ns. If the returned file descriptor is then passed to a process priviliged in init_user_ns, that process can call fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE), creating a new superblock with sb->s_user_ns set to the namespace of the process which called fsopen(). This is problematic. We cannot assume that any filesystem which does not set FS_USERNS_MOUNT has been written with a non-initial s_user_ns in mind, increasing the risk for bugs and security issues. Prevent this by returning EPERM from sget_fc() when FS_USERNS_MOUNT is not set for the filesystem and a non-initial user namespace will be used. sget() does not need to be updated as it always uses the user namespace of the current context, or the initial user namespace if SB_SUBMOUNT is set.

fs: don't misleadingly warn during thaw operations

2024-06-18T14:20:47+00:00

The block device may have been frozen before it was claimed by a filesystem. Concurrently another process might try to mount that frozen block device and has temporarily claimed the block device for that purpose causing a concurrent fs_bdev_thaw() to end up here. The mounter is already about to abort mounting because they still saw an elevanted bdev->bd_fsfreeze_count so get_bdev_super() will return NULL in that case. For example, P1 calls dm_suspend() which calls into bdev_freeze() before the block device has been claimed by the filesystem. This brings bdev->bd_fsfreeze_count to 1 and no call into fs_bdev_freeze() is required. Now P2 tries to mount that frozen block device. It claims it and checks bdev->bd_fsfreeze_count. As it's elevated it aborts mounting. In the meantime P3 called dm_resume(). P3 sees that the block device is already claimed by a filesystem and calls into fs_bdev_thaw(). P3 takes a passive reference and realizes that the filesystem isn't ready yet. P3 puts itself to sleep to wait for the filesystem to become ready. P2 now puts the last active reference to the filesystem and marks it as dying. P3 gets woken, sees that the filesystem is dying and get_bdev_super() fails.

fs,block: yield devices early

2024-03-27T12:17:15+00:00

Currently a device is only really released once the umount returns to userspace due to how file closing works. That ultimately could cause an old umount assumption to be violated that concurrent umount and mount don't fail. So an exclusively held device with a temporary holder should be yielded before the filesystem is gone. Add a helper that allows callers to do that. This also allows us to remove the two holder ops that Linus wasn't excited about.
