This patch makes it possible to kill a process looping in cont_expand_zero. A process may spend a lot of time in this function, so it is desirable to be able to kill it. It happened to me that I wanted to copy a piece data from the disk to a file. By mistake, I used the "seek" parameter to dd instead of "skip". Due to the "seek" parameter, dd attempted to extend the file and became stuck doing so - the only possibility was to reset the machine or wait many hours until the filesystem runs out of space and cont_expand_zero fails. We need this patch to be able to terminate the process. Signed-off-by:

For DAX, we want to be able to copy between iovecs and kernel addresses that don't necessarily have a struct page. This is a fairly simple rearrangement for bvec iters to kmap the pages outside and pass them in, but for user iovecs it gets more complicated because we might try various different ways to kmap the memory. Duplicating the existing logic works out best in this case. We need to be able to write zeroes to an iovec for reads from unwritten ranges in a file. This is performed by the new iov_iter_zero() function, again patterned after the existing code that handles iovec iterators. [AV: and export the buggers...] Signed-off-by:

total_objects could be 0 and is used as a denom. While total_objects is a "long", total_objects == 0 unlikely happens for 3.12 and later kernels because 32-bit architectures would not be able to hold (1 << 32) objects. However, total_objects == 0 may happen for kernels between 3.1 and 3.11 because total_objects in prune_super() was an "int" and (e.g.) x86_64 architecture might be able to hold (1 << 32) objects.

schedule_delayed_work() happening when the work is already pending is a cheap no-op. Don't bother with ->wbuf_queued logics - it's both broken (cancelling ->wbuf_dwork leaves it set, as spotted by Jeff Harris) and pointless. It's cheaper to let schedule_delayed_work() handle that case. Reported-by:

Kirill Smelkov authoredThe function which calls s_op->alloc_inode() is not inode_alloc(), but instead alloc_inode() which lives in fs/inode.c . The typo was there from the beginning from 5ea626aa (VFS: update documentation, 2005) - there was no standalone inode_alloc() for the whole kernel history.

the only in-tree instance checks d_unhashed() anyway, out-of-tree code can preserve the current behaviour by adding such check if they want it and we get an ability to use it in cases where we *want* to be notified of killing being inevitable before ->d_lock is dropped, whether it's unhashed or not. In particular, autofs would benefit from that. Signed-off-by: -

The only reason for games with ->d_prune() was __d_drop(), which was needed only to force dput() into killing the sucker off. Note that lock_parent() can be called under ->i_lock and won't drop it, so dentry is safe from somebody managing to kill it under us - it won't happen while we are holding ->i_lock. __dentry_kill() is called only with ->d_lockref.count being 0 (here and when picked from shrink list) or 1 (dput() and dropping the ancestors in shrink_dentry_list()), so it will never be called twice - the first thing it's doing is making ->d_lockref.count negative and once that happens, nothing will increment it.

Now that d_invalidate always succeeds and flushes mount points use it in stead of a combination of shrink_dcache_parent and d_drop in proc_flush_task_mnt. This removes the danger of a mount point under /proc/<pid>/... becoming unreachable after the d_drop. Reviewed-by:

With the introduction of mount namespaces and bind mounts it became possible to access files and directories that on some paths are mount points but are not mount points on other paths. It is very confusing when rm -rf somedir returns -EBUSY simply because somedir is mounted somewhere else. With the addition of user namespaces allowing unprivileged mounts this condition has gone from annoying to allowing a DOS attack on other users in the system. The possibility for mischief is removed by updating the vfs to support rename, unlink and rmdir on a dentry that is a mountpoint and by lazily unmounting mountpoints on deleted dentries. In particular this change allows rename, unlink and rmdir system calls on a dentry without a mountpoint in the current mount namespace to succeed, and it allows rename, unlink, and rmdir performed on a distributed filesystem to update the vfs cache even if when there is a mount in some namespace on the original dentry. There are two common patterns of maintaining mounts: Mounts on trusted paths with the parent directory of the mount point and all ancestory directories up to / owned by root and modifiable only by root (i.e. /media/xxx, /dev, /dev/pts, /proc, /sys, /sys/fs/cgroup/{cpu, cpuacct, ...}, /usr, /usr/local). Mounts on unprivileged directories maintained by fusermount. In the case of mounts in trusted directories owned by root and modifiable only by root the current parent directory permissions are sufficient to ensure a mount point on a trusted path is not removed or renamed by anyone other than root, even if there is a context where the there are no mount points to prevent this. In the case of mounts in directories owned by less privileged users races with users modifying the path of a mount point are already a danger. fusermount already uses a combination of chdir, /proc/<pid>/fd/NNN, and UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW to prevent these races. The removable of global rename, unlink, and rmdir protection really adds nothing new to consider only a widening of the attack window, and fusermount is already safe against unprivileged users modifying the directory simultaneously. In principle for perfect userspace programs returning -EBUSY for unlink, rmdir, and rename of dentires that have mounts in the local namespace is actually unnecessary. Unfortunately not all userspace programs are perfect so retaining -EBUSY for unlink, rmdir and rename of dentries that have mounts in the current mount namespace plays an important role of maintaining consistency with historical behavior and making imperfect userspace applications hard to exploit. v2: Remove spurious old_dentry. v3: Optimized shrink_submounts_and_drop Removed unsued afs label v4: Simplified the changes to check_submounts_and_drop Do not rename check_submounts_and_drop shrink_submounts_and_drop Document what why we need atomicity in check_submounts_and_drop Rely on the parent inode mutex to make d_revalidate and d_invalidate an atomic unit. v5: Refcount the mountpoint to detach in case of simultaneous renames.

The new function detach_mounts comes in two pieces. The first piece is a static inline test of d_mounpoint that returns immediately without taking any locks if d_mounpoint is not set. In the common case when mountpoints are absent this allows the vfs to continue running with it's same cacheline foot print. The second piece of detach_mounts __detach_mounts actually does the work and it assumes that a mountpoint is present so it is slow and takes namespace_sem for write, and then locks the mount hash (aka mount_lock) after a struct mountpoint has been found. With those two locks held each entry on the list of mounts on a mountpoint is selected and lazily unmounted until all of the mount have been lazily unmounted. v7: Wrote a proper change description and removed the changelog documenting deleted wrong turns.

Eric W. Biederman authored
In preparation for allowing mountpoints to be renamed and unlinked in remote filesystems and in other mount namespaces test if on a dentry there is a mount in the local mount namespace before allowing it to be renamed or unlinked. The primary motivation here are old versions of fusermount unmount which is not safe if the a path can be renamed or unlinked while it is verifying the mount is safe to unmount. More recent versions are simpler and safer by simply using UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW when unmounting a mount in a directory owned by an arbitrary user. Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> reports this is approach is good enough to remove concerns about new kernels mixed with old versions of fusermount. A secondary motivation for restrictions here is that it removing empty directories that have non-empty mount points on them appears to violate the rule that rmdir can not remove empty directories. As Linus Torvalds pointed out this is useful for programs (like git) that test if a directory is empty with rmdir. Therefore this patch arranges to enforce the existing mount point semantics for local mount namespace. v2: Rewrote the test to be a drop in replacement for d_mountpoint v3: Use bool instead of int as the return type of is_local_mountpoint Reviewed-by:

The current comments in d_invalidate about what and why it is doing what it is doing are wildly off-base. Which is not surprising as the comments date back to last minute bug fix of the 2.2 kernel. The big fat lie of a comment said: If it's a directory, we can't drop it for fear of somebody re-populating it with children (even though dropping it would make it unreachable from that root, we still might repopulate it if it was a working directory or similar). [AV] What we really need to avoid is multiple dentry aliases of the same directory inode; on all filesystems that have ->d_revalidate() we either declare all positive dentries always valid (and thus never fed to d_invalidate()) or use d_materialise_unique() and/or d_splice_alias(), which take care of alias prevention. The current rules are: - To prevent mount point leaks dentries that are mount points or that have childrent that are mount points may not be be unhashed. - All dentries may be unhashed. - Directories may be rehashed with d_materialise_unique check_submounts_and_drop implements this already for well maintained remote filesystems so implement the current rules in d_invalidate by just calling check_submounts_and_drop. The one difference between d_invalidate and check_submounts_and_drop is that d_invalidate must respect it when a d_revalidate method has earlier called d_drop so preserve the d_unhashed check in d_invalidate.

d_drop or check_submounts_and_drop called from d_revalidate can result in renamed directories with child dentries being unhashed. These renamed and drop directory dentries can be rehashed after d_materialise_unique uses d_find_alias to find them. Reviewed-by:

On final mntput() we want fs shutdown to happen before return to userland; however, the only case where we want it happen right there (i.e. where task_work_add won't do) is MNT_INTERNAL victim. Those have to be fully synchronous - failure halfway through module init might count on having vfsmount killed right there. Fortunately, final mntput on MNT_INTERNAL vfsmounts happens on shallow stack. So we handle those synchronously and do an analog of delayed fput logics for everything else. As the result, we are guaranteed that fs shutdown will always happen on shallow stack. Signed-off-by: -

Biederman's umount-on-rmdir series changes d_invalidate() to sumarily remove mounts under the passed in dentry regardless of whether they are busy or not. So calling this in fs/autofs4/expire.c:autofs4_tree_busy() is definitely the wrong thing to do becuase it will silently umount entries instead of just cleaning stale dentrys. But this call shouldn't be needed and testing shows that automounting continues to function without it. As Al Viro correctly surmises the original intent of the call was to perform what shrink_dcache_parent() does. If at some time in the future I see stale dentries accumulating following failed mounts I'll revisit the issue and possibly add a shrink_dcache_parent() call if needed. Signed-off-by:

* external dentry names get a small structure prepended to them (struct external_name). * it contains an atomic refcount, matching the number of struct dentry instances that have ->d_name.name pointing to that external name. The first thing free_dentry() does is decrementing refcount of external name, so the instances that are between the call of free_dentry() and RCU-delayed actual freeing do not contribute. * __d_move(x, y, false) makes the name of x equal to the name of y, external or not. If y has an external name, extra reference is grabbed and put into x->d_name.name. If x used to have an external name, the reference to the old name is dropped and, should it reach zero, freeing is scheduled via kfree_rcu(). * free_dentry() in dentry with external name decrements the refcount of that name and, should it reach zero, does RCU-delayed call that will free both the dentry and external name. Otherwise it does what it used to do, except that __d_free() doesn't even look at ->d_name.name; it simply frees the dentry. All non-RCU accesses to dentry external name are safe wrt freeing since they all should happen before free_dentry() is called. RCU accesses might run into a dentry seen by free_dentry() or into an old name that got already dropped by __d_move(); however, in both cases dentry must have been alive and refer to that name at some point after we'd done rcu_read_lock(), which means that any freeing must be still pending.

AFAICS, prepend_name() is broken on SMP alpha. Disclaimer: I don't have SMP alpha boxen to reproduce it on. However, it really looks like the race is real. CPU1: d_path() on /mnt/ramfs/<255-character>/foo CPU2: mv /mnt/ramfs/<255-character> /mnt/ramfs/<63-character> CPU2 does d_alloc(), which allocates an external name, stores the name there including terminating NUL, does smp_wmb() and stores its address in dentry->d_name.name. It proceeds to d_add(dentry, NULL) and d_move() old dentry over to that. ->d_name.name value ends up in that dentry. In the meanwhile, CPU1 gets to prepend_name() for that dentry. It fetches ->d_name.name and ->d_name.len; the former ends up pointing to new name (64-byte kmalloc'ed array), the latter - 255 (length of the old name). Nothing to force the ordering there, and normally that would be OK, since we'd run into the terminating NUL and stop. Except that it's alpha, and we'd need a data dependency barrier to guarantee that we see that store of NUL __d_alloc() has done. In a similar situation dentry_cmp() would survive; it does explicit smp_read_barrier_depends() after fetching ->d_name.name. prepend_name() doesn't and it risks walking past the end of kmalloc'ed object and possibly oops due to taking a page fault in kernel mode.

Only exchange source and destination filenames if flags contain RENAME_EXCHANGE. In case if executable file was running and replaced by other file /proc/PID/exe should still show correct file name, not the old name of the file by which it was replaced. The scenario when this bug manifests itself was like this: * ALT Linux uses rpm and start-stop-daemon; * during a package upgrade rpm creates a temporary file for an executable to rename it upon successful unpacking; * start-stop-daemon is run subsequently and it obtains the (nonexistant) temporary filename via /proc/PID/exe thus failing to identify the running process. Note that "long" filenames (> DNAiME_INLINE_LEN) are still exchanged without RENAME_EXCHANGE and this behaviour exists long enough (should be fixed too apparently). So this patch is just an interim workaround that restores behavior for "short" names as it was before changes introduced by commit da1ce067 ("vfs: add cross-rename"). See https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/7/6 for details. AV: the comments about being more careful with ->d_name.hash than with ->d_name.name are from back in 2.3.40s; they became obsolete by 2.3.60s, when we started to unhash the target instead of swapping hash chain positions followed by d_delete() as we used to do when dcache was first introduced.
