commit 344bac8f0d73fe970cd9f5b2f132906317d29e8b upstream.

Move mnt-&gt;mnt_node into the union with mnt-&gt;mnt_rcu and mnt-&gt;mnt_llist
instead of keeping it with mnt-&gt;mnt_list. This allows us to use
RB_CLEAR_NODE(&amp;mnt-&gt;mnt_node) in umount_tree() as well as
list_empty(&amp;mnt-&gt;mnt_node). That in turn allows us to remove MNT_ONRB.

This also fixes the bug reported in [1] where seemingly MNT_ONRB wasn't
set in @mnt-&gt;mnt_flags even though the mount was present in the mount
rbtree of the mount namespace.

The root cause is the following race. When a btrfs subvolume is mounted
a temporary mount is created:

btrfs_get_tree_subvol()
{
        mnt = fc_mount()
        // Register the newly allocated mount with sb-&gt;mounts:
        lock_mount_hash();
        list_add_tail(&amp;mnt-&gt;mnt_instance, &amp;mnt-&gt;mnt.mnt_sb-&gt;s_mounts);
        unlock_mount_hash();
}

and registered on sb-&gt;s_mounts. Later it is added to an anonymous mount
namespace via mount_subvol():

-&gt; mount_subvol()
   -&gt; mount_subtree()
      -&gt; alloc_mnt_ns()
         mnt_add_to_ns()
         vfs_path_lookup()
         put_mnt_ns()

The mnt_add_to_ns() call raises MNT_ONRB in @mnt-&gt;mnt_flags. If someone
concurrently does a ro remount:

reconfigure_super()
-&gt; sb_prepare_remount_readonly()
   {
           list_for_each_entry(mnt, &amp;sb-&gt;s_mounts, mnt_instance) {
   }

all mounts registered in sb-&gt;s_mounts are visited and first
MNT_WRITE_HOLD is raised, then MNT_READONLY is raised, and finally
MNT_WRITE_HOLD is removed again.

The flag modification for MNT_WRITE_HOLD/MNT_READONLY and MNT_ONRB race
so MNT_ONRB might be lost.

<content type='text'>
When adding a mount to a namespace insert it into an rbtree rooted in the
mnt_namespace instead of a linear list.

The mnt.mnt_list is still used to set up the mount tree and for
propagation, but not after the mount has been added to a namespace.  Hence
mnt_list can live in union with rb_node.  Use MNT_ONRB mount flag to
validate that the mount is on the correct list.

This allows removing the cursor used for reading /proc/$PID/mountinfo.  The
mnt_id_unique of the next mount can be used as an index into the seq file.

Tested by inserting 100k bind mounts, unsharing the mount namespace, and
unmounting.  No performance regressions have been observed.

For the last mount in the 100k list the statmount() call was more than 100x
faster due to the mount ID lookup not having to do a linear search.  This
patch makes the overhead of mount ID lookup non-observable in this range.

Before exporting these helpers to modules, make their names more
meaningful.

The names mnt_{get,put)_write_access*() were chosen, because they rhyme
with the inode {get,put)_write_access() helpers, which have a very close
meaning for the inode object.

 - Arnd Bergmann has fixed a bunch of -Wmissing-prototypes in top-level
   directories

 - Douglas Anderson has added a new "buddy" mode to the hardlockup
   detector. It permits the detector to work on architectures which
   cannot provide the required interrupts, by having CPUs periodically
   perform checks on other CPUs

 - Zhen Lei has enhanced kexec's ability to support two crash regions

 - Petr Mladek has done a lot of cleanup on the hard lockup detector's
   Kconfig entries

 - And the usual bunch of singleton patches in various places

<title>init: improve the name_to_dev_t interface</title>

name_to_dev_t has a very misleading name, that doesn't make clear
it should only be used by the early init code, and also has a bad
calling convention that doesn't allow returning different kinds of
errors.  Rename it to early_lookup_bdev to make the use case clear,
and return an errno, where -EINVAL means the string could not be
parsed, and -ENODEV means it the string was valid, but there was
no device found for it.

Also stub out the whole call for !CONFIG_BLOCK as all the non-block
root cases are always covered in the caller.

Instead of waiting for an RCU grace period between each ipc_namespace
structure that is being freed, wait an RCU grace period for every batch
of ipc_namespace structures.

Thanks to Al Viro for the suggestion of the helper function.

This speeds up the run time of the test case that allocates ipc_namespaces
in a loop from 6 minutes, to a little over 1 second:

Now that we converted everything to just rely on struct mnt_idmap move it all
into a separate file. This ensure that no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap without any dedicated helpers and makes it easier to extend it in the
future. Filesystems will now not be able to conflate mount and filesystem
idmappings as they are two distinct types and require distinct helpers that
cannot be used interchangeably. We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap
as we see fit.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Remove legacy file_mnt_user_ns() and mnt_user_ns().

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.
