2025-06-29copy_tree(): don't link the mounts via mnt_listAl Viro
The only place that really needs to be adjusted is commit_tree() - there we need to iterate through the copy and we might as well use next_mnt() for that. However, in case when our tree has been slid under something already mounted (propagation to a mountpoint that already has something mounted on it or a 'beneath' move_mount) we need to take care not to walk into the overmounting tree.

2025-06-29mount: separate the flags accessed only under namespace_semAl Viro
Several flags are updated and checked only under namespace_sem; we are already making use of that when we are checking them without mount_lock, but we have to hold mount_lock for all updates, which makes things clumsier than they have to be. Take MNT_SHARED, MNT_UNBINDABLE, MNT_MARKED and MNT_UMOUNT_CANDIDATE into a separate field (->mnt_t_flags), renaming them to T_SHARED, etc. to avoid confusion. All accesses must be under namespace_sem. That changes locking requirements for mnt_change_propagation() and set_mnt_shared() - only namespace_sem is needed now. The same goes for SET_MNT_MARKED et.al. There might be more flags moved from ->mnt_flags to that field; this is just the initial set. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2025-06-29get rid of mountpoint->m_countAl Viro
struct mountpoint has an odd kinda-sorta refcount in it. It's always either equal to or one above the number of mounts attached to that mountpoint. "One above" happens when a function takes a temporary reference to mountpoint. Things get simpler if we express that as inserting a local object into ->m_list and removing it to drop the reference. New calling conventions: 1) lock_mount(), do_lock_mount(), get_mountpoint() and lookup_mountpoint() take an extra struct pinned_mountpoint * argument and returns 0/-E... (or true/false in case of lookup_mountpoint()) instead of returning struct mountpoint pointers. In case of success, the struct mountpoint * we used to get can be found as pinned_mountpoint.mp 2) unlock_mount() (always paired with lock_mount()/do_lock_mount()) takes an address of struct pinned_mountpoint - the same that had been passed to lock_mount()/do_lock_mount(). 3) put_mountpoint() for a temporary reference (paired with get_mountpoint() or lookup_mountpoint()) is replaced with unpin_mountpoint(), which takes the address of pinned_mountpoint we passed to matching {get,lookup}_mountpoint(). 4) all instances of pinned_mountpoint are local variables; they always live on stack. {} is used for initializer, after successful {get,lookup}_mountpoint() we must make sure to call unpin_mountpoint() before leaving the scope and after successful {do_,}lock_mount() we must make sure to call unlock_mount() before leaving the scope. 5) all manipulations of ->m_count are gone, along with ->m_count itself. struct mountpoint lives while its ->m_list is non-empty.

2025-06-29Rewrite of propagate_umount()Al Viro
The variant currently in the tree has problems; trying to prove correctness has caught at least one class of bugs (reparenting that ends up moving the visible location of reparented mount, due to not excluding some of the counterparts on propagation that should've been included). I tried to prove that it's the only bug there; I'm still not sure whether it is. If anyone can reconstruct and write down an analysis of the mainline implementation, I'll gladly review it; as it is, I ended up doing a different implementation. Candidate collection phase is similar, but trimming the set down until it satisfies the constraints turned out pretty different. I hoped to do transformation as a massage series, but that turns out to be too convoluted. So it's a single patch replacing propagate_umount() and friends in one go, with notes and analysis in D/f/propagate_umount.txt (in addition to inline comments). As far I can tell, it is provably correct and provably linear by the number of mounts we need to look at in order to decide what should be unmounted. It even builds and seems to survive testing... Another nice thing that fell out of that is that ->mnt_umounting is no longer needed. Compared to the first version: * explicit MNT_UMOUNT_CANDIDATE flag for is_candidate() * trim_ancestors() only clears that flag, leaving the suckers on list * trim_one() and handle_locked() take the stuff with flag cleared off the list. That allows to iterate with list_for_each_entry_safe() when calling trim_one() - it removes at most one element from the list now. * no globals - I didn't bother with any kind of context, not worth it. * Notes updated accordingly; I have not touch the terms yet.

checks if mount is the root of an anonymouns namespace. Switch open-coded equivalents to using it. For mounts that belong to anon namespace !mnt_has_parent(mount) is the same as mount == ns->root, and intent is more obvious in the latter form.

2025-06-29prevent mount hash conflictsAl Viro
Currently it's still possible to run into a pathological situation when two hashed mounts share both parent and mountpoint. That does not work well, for obvious reasons. We are not far from getting rid of that; the only remaining gap is attach_recursive_mnt() not being careful enough when sliding a tree under existing mount (for propagated copies or in 'beneath' case for the original one). To deal with that cleanly we need to be able to find overmounts (i.e. mounts on top of parent's root); we could do hash lookups or scan the list of children but either would be costly. Since one of the results we get from that will be prevention of multiple parallel overmounts, let's just bite the bullet and store a (non-counting) reference to overmount in struct mount. With that done, closing the hole in attach_recursive_mnt() becomes easy - we just need to follow the chain of overmounts before we change the mountpoint of the mount we are sliding things under.

2025-05-26Don't propagate mounts into detached treesAl Viro
All versions up to 6.14 did not propagate mount events into detached tree. Shortly after 6.14 a merge of vfs-6.15-rc1.mount.namespace (130e696aa68b) has changed that. Unfortunately, that has caused userland regressions (reported in https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAOYeF9WQhFDe+BGW=Dp5fK8oRy5AgZ6zokVyTj1Wp4EUiYgt4w@mail.gmail.com/) Straight revert wouldn't be an option - in particular, the variant in 6.14 had a bug that got fixed in d1ddc6f1d9f0 ("fix IS_MNT_PROPAGATING uses") and we don't want to bring the bug back. This is a modification of manual revert posted by Christian, with changes needed to avoid reintroducing the breakage in scenario described in d1ddc6f1d9f0.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs mount namespace updates from Christian Brauner: "This expands the ability of anonymous mount namespaces: - Creating detached mounts from detached mounts Currently, detached mounts can only be created from attached mounts. This limitaton prevents various use-cases. For example, the ability to mount a subdirectory without ever having to make the whole filesystem visible first. The current permission modelis: (1) Check that the caller is privileged over the owning user namespace of it's current mount namespace. (2) Check that the caller is located in the mount namespace of the mount it wants to create a detached copy of. While it is not strictly necessary to do it this way it is consistently applied in the new mount api. This model will also be used when allowing the creation of detached mount from another detached mount. The (1) requirement can simply be met by performing the same check as for the non-detached case, i.e., verify that the caller is privileged over its current mount namespace. To meet the (2) requirement it must be possible to infer the origin mount namespace that the anonymous mount namespace of the detached mount was created from. The origin mount namespace of an anonymous mount is the mount namespace that the mounts that were copied into the anonymous mount namespace originate from. In order to check the origin mount namespace of an anonymous mount namespace the sequence number of the original mount namespace is recorded in the anonymous mount namespace. With this in place it is possible to perform an equivalent check (2') to (2). The origin mount namespace of the anonymous mount namespace must be the same as the caller's mount namespace. To establish this the sequence number of the caller's mount namespace and the origin sequence number of the anonymous mount namespace are compared. The caller is always located in a non-anonymous mount namespace since anonymous mount namespaces cannot be setns()ed into. The caller's mount namespace will thus always have a valid sequence number. The owning namespace of any mount namespace, anonymous or non-anonymous, can never change. A mount attached to a non-anonymous mount namespace can never change mount namespace. If the sequence number of the non-anonymous mount namespace and the origin sequence number of the anonymous mount namespace match, the owning namespaces must match as well. Hence, the capability check on the owning namespace of the caller's mount namespace ensures that the caller has the ability to copy the mount tree. - Allow mount detached mounts on detached mounts Currently, detached mounts can only be mounted onto attached mounts. This limitation makes it impossible to assemble a new private rootfs and move it into place. Instead, a detached tree must be created, attached, then mounted open and then either moved or detached again. Lift this restriction. In order to allow mounting detached mounts onto other detached mounts the same permission model used for creating detached mounts from detached mounts can be used (cf. above). Allowing to mount detached mounts onto detached mounts leaves three cases to consider: (1) The source mount is an attached mount and the target mount is a detached mount. This would be equivalent to moving a mount between different mount namespaces. A caller could move an attached mount to a detached mount. The detached mount can now be freely attached to any mount namespace. This changes the current delegatioh model significantly for no good reason. So this will fail. (2) Anonymous mount namespaces are always attached fully, i.e., it is not possible to only attach a subtree of an anoymous mount namespace. This simplifies the implementation and reasoning. Consequently, if the anonymous mount namespace of the source detached mount and the target detached mount are the identical the mount request will fail. (3) The source mount's anonymous mount namespace is different from the target mount's anonymous mount namespace. In this case the source anonymous mount namespace of the source mount tree must be freed after its mounts have been moved to the target anonymous mount namespace. The source anonymous mount namespace must be empty afterwards. By allowing to mount detached mounts onto detached mounts a caller may do the following: fd_tree1 = open_tree(-EBADF, "/mnt", OPEN_TREE_CLONE) fd_tree2 = open_tree(-EBADF, "/tmp", OPEN_TREE_CLONE) fd_tree1 and fd_tree2 refer to two different detached mount trees that belong to two different anonymous mount namespace. It is important to note that fd_tree1 and fd_tree2 both refer to the root of their respective anonymous mount namespaces. By allowing to mount detached mounts onto detached mounts the caller may now do: move_mount(fd_tree1, "", fd_tree2, "", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH | MOVE_MOUNT_T_EMPTY_PATH) This will cause the detached mount referred to by fd_tree1 to be mounted on top of the detached mount referred to by fd_tree2. Thus, the detached mount fd_tree1 is moved from its separate anonymous mount namespace into fd_tree2's anonymous mount namespace. It also means that while fd_tree2 continues to refer to the root of its respective anonymous mount namespace fd_tree1 doesn't anymore. This has the consequence that only fd_tree2 can be moved to another anonymous or non-anonymous mount namespace. Moving fd_tree1 will now fail as fd_tree1 doesn't refer to the root of an anoymous mount namespace anymore. Now fd_tree1 and fd_tree2 refer to separate detached mount trees referring to the same anonymous mount namespace. This is conceptually fine. The new mount api does allow for this to happen already via: mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt mkdir -p /mnt/A mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt/A fd_tree3 = open_tree(-EBADF, "/mnt", OPEN_TREE_CLONE | AT_RECURSIVE) fd_tree4 = open_tree(-EBADF, "/mnt/A", 0) Both fd_tree3 and fd_tree4 refer to two different detached mount trees but both detached mount trees refer to the same anonymous mount namespace. An as with fd_tree1 and fd_tree2, only fd_tree3 may be moved another mount namespace as fd_tree3 refers to the root of the anonymous mount namespace just while fd_tree4 doesn't. However, there's an important difference between the fd_tree3/fd_tree4 and the fd_tree1/fd_tree2 example. Closing fd_tree4 and releasing the respective struct file will have no further effect on fd_tree3's detached mount tree. However, closing fd_tree3 will cause the mount tree and the respective anonymous mount namespace to be destroyed causing the detached mount tree of fd_tree4 to be invalid for further mounting. By allowing to mount detached mounts on detached mounts as in the fd_tree1/fd_tree2 example both struct files will affect each other. Both fd_tree1 and fd_tree2 refer to struct files that have FMODE_NEED_UNMOUNT set. To handle this we use the fact that @fd_tree1 will have a parent mount once it has been attached to @fd_tree2. When dissolve_on_fput() is called the mount that has been passed in will refer to the root of the anonymous mount namespace. If it doesn't it would mean that mounts are leaked. So before allowing to mount detached mounts onto detached mounts this would be a bug. Now that detached mounts can be mounted onto detached mounts it just means that the mount has been attached to another anonymous mount namespace and thus dissolve_on_fput() must not unmount the mount tree or free the anonymous mount namespace as the file referring to the root of the namespace hasn't been closed yet. If it had been closed yet it would be obvious because the mount namespace would be NULL, i.e., the @fd_tree1 would have already been unmounted. If @fd_tree1 hasn't been unmounted yet and has a parent mount it is safe to skip any cleanup as closing @fd_tree2 will take care of all cleanup operations. - Allow mount propagation for detached mount trees In commit ee2e3f50629f ("mount: fix mounting of detached mounts onto targets that reside on shared mounts") I fixed a bug where propagating the source mount tree of an anonymous mount namespace into a target mount tree of a non-anonymous mount namespace could be used to trigger an integer overflow in the non-anonymous mount namespace causing any new mounts to fail.

2025-01-09fs: kill MNT_ONRBChristian Brauner
Move mnt->mnt_node into the union with mnt->mnt_rcu and mnt->mnt_llist instead of keeping it with mnt->mnt_list. This allows us to use RB_CLEAR_NODE(&mnt->mnt_node) in umount_tree() as well as list_empty(&mnt->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->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->mounts: lock_mount_hash(); list_add_tail(&mnt->mnt_instance, &mnt->mnt.mnt_sb->s_mounts); unlock_mount_hash(); } and registered on sb->s_mounts. Later it is added to an anonymous mount namespace via mount_subvol(): -> mount_subvol() -> mount_subtree() -> alloc_mnt_ns() mnt_add_to_ns() vfs_path_lookup() put_mnt_ns() The mnt_add_to_ns() call raises MNT_ONRB in @mnt->mnt_flags. If someone concurrently does a ro remount: reconfigure_super() -> sb_prepare_remount_readonly() { list_for_each_entry(mnt, &sb->s_mounts, mnt_instance) { } all mounts registered in sb->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.

Features: - Allow iterating through mounts via listmount() from newest to oldest. This makes it possible for mount(8) to keep iterating the mount table in reverse order so it gets newest mounts first. - Relax permissions on listmount() and statmount(). It's not necessary to have capabilities in the initial namespace: it is sufficient to have capabilities in the owning namespace of the mount namespace we're located in to list unreachable mounts in that namespace. - Extend both listmount() and statmount() to list and stat mounts in foreign mount namespaces. Currently the only way to iterate over mount entries in mount namespaces that aren't in the caller's mount namespace is by crawling through /proc in order to find /proc/<pid>/mountinfo for the relevant mount namespace. This is both very clumsy and hugely inefficient. So extend struct mnt_id_req with a new member that allows to specify the mount namespace id of the mount namespace we want to look at. Luckily internally we already have most of the infrastructure for this so we just need to expose it to userspace. Give userspace a way to retrieve the id of a mount namespace via statmount() and through a new nsfs ioctl() on mount namespace file descriptor. This comes with appropriate selftests. - Expose mount options through statmount(). Currently if userspace wants to get mount options for a mount and with statmount(), they still have to open /proc/<pid>/mountinfo to parse mount options. Simply the information through statmount() directly. Afterwards it's possible to only rely on statmount() and listmount() to retrieve all and more information than /proc/<pid>/mountinfo provides.

2024-05-28fhandle: relax open_by_handle_at() permission checksChristian Brauner
A current limitation of open_by_handle_at() is that it's currently not possible to use it from within containers at all because we require CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH in the initial namespace. That's unfortunate because there are scenarios where using open_by_handle_at() from within containers. Two examples: (1) cgroupfs allows to encode cgroups to file handles and reopen them with open_by_handle_at(). (2) Fanotify allows placing filesystem watches they currently aren't usable in containers because the returned file handles cannot be used. Here's a proposal for relaxing the permission check for open_by_handle_at(). (1) Opening file handles when the caller has privileges over the filesystem (1.1) The caller has an unobstructed view of the filesystem. (1.2) The caller has permissions to follow a path to the file handle. This doesn't address the problem of opening a file handle when only a portion of a filesystem is exposed as is common in containers by e.g., bind-mounting a subtree. The proposal to solve this use-case is: (2) Opening file handles when the caller has privileges over a subtree (2.1) The caller is able to reach the file from the provided mount fd. (2.2) The caller has permissions to construct an unobstructed path to the file handle. (2.3) The caller has permissions to follow a path to the file handle. The relaxed permission checks are currently restricted to directory file handles which are what both cgroupfs and fanotify need. Handling disconnected non-directory file handles would lead to a potentially non-deterministic api. If a disconnected non-directory file handle is provided we may fail to decode a valid path that we could use for permission checking. That in itself isn't a problem as we would just return EACCES in that case. However, confusion may arise if a non-disconnected dentry ends up in the cache later and those opening the file handle would suddenly succeed. * It's potentially possible to use timing information (side-channel) to infer whether a given inode exists. I don't think that's particularly problematic. Thanks to Jann for bringing this to my attention. * An unrelated note (IOW, these are thoughts that apply to open_by_handle_at() generically and are unrelated to the changes here): Jann pointed out that we should verify whether deleted files could potentially be reopened through open_by_handle_at(). I don't think that's possible though. Another potential thing to check is whether open_by_handle_at() could be abused to open internal stuff like memfds or gpu stuff. I don't think so but I haven't had the time to completely verify this. This dates back to discussions Amir and I had quite some time ago and thanks to him for providing a lot of details around the export code and related patches!

2023-11-18mounts: keep list of mounts in an rbtreeMiklos Szeredi
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.

2023-11-18add unique mount IDMiklos Szeredi
If a mount is released then its mnt_id can immediately be reused. This is bad news for user interfaces that want to uniquely identify a mount. Implementing a unique mount ID is trivial (use a 64bit counter). Unfortunately userspace assumes 32bit size and would overflow after the counter reaches 2^32. Introduce a new 64bit ID alongside the old one. Initialize the counter to 2^32, this guarantees that the old and new IDs are never mixed up.

2020-08-19mnt: Use generic ns_common::countKirill Tkhai
Switch over mount namespaces to use the newly introduced common lifetime counter. Currently every namespace type has its own lifetime counter which is stored in the specific namespace struct. The lifetime counters are used identically for all namespaces types. Namespaces may of course have additional unrelated counters and these are not altered. This introduces a common lifetime counter into struct ns_common. The ns_common struct encompasses information that all namespaces share. That should include the lifetime counter since its common for all of them. It also allows us to unify the type of the counters across all namespaces. Most of them use refcount_t but one uses atomic_t and at least one uses kref. Especially the last one doesn't make much sense since it's just a wrapper around refcount_t since 2016 and actually complicates cleanup operations by having to use container_of() to cast the correct namespace struct out of struct ns_common. Having the lifetime counter for the namespaces in one place reduces maintenance cost. Not just because after switching all namespaces over we will have removed more code than we added but also because the logic is more easily understandable and we indicate to the user that the basic lifetime requirements for all namespaces are currently identical.

2020-05-14proc/mounts: add cursorMiklos Szeredi
If mounts are deleted after a read(2) call on /proc/self/mounts (or its kin), the subsequent read(2) could miss a mount that comes after the deleted one in the list. This is because the file position is interpreted as the number mount entries from the start of the list. E.g. first read gets entries #0 to #9; the seq file index will be 10. Then entry #5 is deleted, resulting in #10 becoming #9 and #11 becoming #10, etc... The next read will continue from entry #10, and #9 is missed. Solve this by adding a cursor entry for each open instance. Taking the global namespace_sem for write seems excessive, since we are only dealing with a per-namespace list. Instead add a per-namespace spinlock and use that together with namespace_sem taken for read to protect against concurrent modification of the mount list. This may reduce parallelism of is_local_mountpoint(), but it's hardly a big contention point. We could also use RCU freeing of cursors to make traversal not need additional locks, if that turns out to be neceesary. Only move the cursor once for each read (cursor is not added on open) to minimize cacheline invalidation. When EOF is reached, the cursor is taken off the list, in order to prevent an excessive number of cursors due to inactive open file descriptors.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-05-23mnt: In propgate_umount handle visiting mounts in any orderEric W. Biederman
While investigating some poor umount performance I realized that in the case of overlapping mount trees where some of the mounts are locked the code has been failing to unmount all of the mounts it should have been unmounting. This failure to unmount all of the necessary mounts can be reproduced with: $ cat locked_mounts_test.sh mount -t tmpfs test-base /mnt mount --make-shared /mnt mkdir -p /mnt/b mount -t tmpfs test1 /mnt/b mount --make-shared /mnt/b mkdir -p /mnt/b/10 mount -t tmpfs test2 /mnt/b/10 mount --make-shared /mnt/b/10 mkdir -p /mnt/b/10/20 mount --rbind /mnt/b /mnt/b/10/20 unshare -Urm --propagation unchaged /bin/sh -c 'sleep 5; if [ $(grep test /proc/self/mountinfo | wc -l) -eq 1 ] ; then echo SUCCESS ; else echo FAILURE ; fi' sleep 1 umount -l /mnt/b wait %% $ unshare -Urm ./locked_mounts_test.sh This failure is corrected by removing the prepass that marks mounts that may be umounted. A first pass is added that umounts mounts if possible and if not sets mount mark if they could be unmounted if they weren't locked and adds them to a list to umount possibilities. This first pass reconsiders the mounts parent if it is on the list of umount possibilities, ensuring that information of umoutability will pass from child to mount parent. A second pass then walks through all mounts that are umounted and processes their children unmounting them or marking them for reparenting. A last pass cleans up the state on the mounts that could not be umounted and if applicable reparents them to their first parent that remained mounted. While a bit longer than the old code this code is much more robust as it allows information to flow up from the leaves and down from the trunk making the order in which mounts are encountered in the umount propgation tree irrelevant.

Currently notification marks are attached to object (inode or vfsmnt) by a hlist_head in the object. The list is also protected by a spinlock in the object. So while there is any mark attached to the list of marks, the object must be pinned in memory (and thus e.g. last iput() deleting inode cannot happen). Also for list iteration in fsnotify() to work, we must hold fsnotify_mark_srcu lock so that mark itself and mark->obj_list.next cannot get freed. Thus we are required to wait for response to fanotify events from userspace process with fsnotify_mark_srcu lock held. That causes issues when userspace process is buggy and does not reply to some event - basically the whole notification subsystem gets eventually stuck. So to be able to drop fsnotify_mark_srcu lock while waiting for response, we have to pin the mark in memory and make sure it stays in the object list (as removing the mark waiting for response could lead to lost notification events for groups later in the list). However we don't want inode reclaim to block on such mark as that would lead to system just locking up elsewhere. This commit is the first in the series that paves way towards solving these conflicting lifetime needs. Instead of anchoring the list of marks directly in the object, we anchor it in a dedicated structure (fsnotify_mark_connector) and just point to that structure from the object. The following commits will also add spinlock protecting the list and object pointer to the structure.

2017-02-04mnt: Tuck mounts under others instead of creating shadow/side mounts.Eric W. Biederman
Ever since mount propagation was introduced in cases where a mount in propagated to parent mount mountpoint pair that is already in use the code has placed the new mount behind the old mount in the mount hash table. This implementation detail is problematic as it allows creating arbitrary length mount hash chains. Furthermore it invalidates the constraint maintained elsewhere in the mount code that a parent mount and a mountpoint pair will have exactly one mount upon them. Making it hard to deal with and to talk about this special case in the mount code. Modify mount propagation to notice when there is already a mount at the parent mount and mountpoint where a new mount is propagating to and place that preexisting mount on top of the new mount. Modify unmount propagation to notice when a mount that is being unmounted has another mount on top of it (and no other children), and to replace the unmounted mount with the mount on top of it. Move the MNT_UMUONT test from __lookup_mnt_last into __propagate_umount as that is the only call of __lookup_mnt_last where MNT_UMOUNT may be set on any mount visible in the mount hash table. These modifications allow: - __lookup_mnt_last to be removed. - attach_shadows to be renamed __attach_mnt and its shadow handling to be removed. - commit_tree to be simplified - copy_tree to be simplified The result is an easier to understand tree of mounts that does not allow creation of arbitrary length hash chains in the mount hash table. The result is also a very slight userspace visible difference in semantics. The following two cases now behave identically, where before order mattered: case 1: (explicit user action) B is a slave of A mount something on A/a , it will propagate to B/a and than mount something on B/a case 2: (tucked mount) B is a slave of A mount something on B/a and than mount something on A/a Histroically umount A/a would fail in case 1 and succeed in case 2. Now umount A/a succeeds in both configurations. This very small change in semantics appears if anything to be a bug fix to me and my survey of userspace leads me to believe that no programs will notice or care of this subtle semantic change. v2: Updated to mnt_change_mountpoint to not call dput or mntput and instead to decrement the counts directly. It is guaranteed that there will be other references when mnt_change_mountpoint is called so this is safe. v3: Moved put_mountpoint under mount_lock in attach_recursive_mnt As the locking in fs/namespace.c changed between v2 and v3. v4: Reworked the logic in propagate_mount_busy and __propagate_umount that detects when a mount completely covers another mount. v5: Removed unnecessary tests whose result is alwasy true in find_topper and attach_recursive_mnt. v6: Document the user space visible semantic difference.

2016-12-03vfs: add path_is_mountpoint() helperIan Kent
d_mountpoint() can only be used reliably to establish if a dentry is not mounted in any namespace. It isn't aware of the possibility there may be multiple mounts using a given dentry that may be in a different namespace. Add helper functions, path_is_mountpoint(), that checks if a struct path is a mountpoint for this case.

2016-09-30mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mountsEric W. Biederman
CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> pointed out that the semantics of shared subtrees make it possible to create an exponentially increasing number of mounts in a mount namespace. mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2 mount --make-rshared / for i in $(seq 1 20) ; do mount --bind /tmp/1 /tmp/2 ; done Will create create 2^20 or 1048576 mounts, which is a practical problem as some people have managed to hit this by accident. As such CVE-2016-6213 was assigned. Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> described the situation for autofs users as follows: > The number of mounts for direct mount maps is usually not very large because of > the way they are implemented, large direct mount maps can have performance > problems. There can be anywhere from a few (likely case a few hundred) to less > than 10000, plus mounts that have been triggered and not yet expired. > > Indirect mounts have one autofs mount at the root plus the number of mounts that > have been triggered and not yet expired. > > The number of autofs indirect map entries can range from a few to the common > case of several thousand and in rare cases up to between 30000 and 50000. I've > not heard of people with maps larger than 50000 entries. > > The larger the number of map entries the greater the possibility for a large > number of active mounts so it's not hard to expect cases of a 1000 or somewhat > more active mounts. So I am setting the default number of mounts allowed per mount namespace at 100,000. This is more than enough for any use case I know of, but small enough to quickly stop an exponential increase in mounts. Which should be perfect to catch misconfigurations and malfunctioning programs. For anyone who needs a higher limit this can be changed by writing to the new /proc/sys/fs/mount-max sysctl.

2015-06-30fs: use seq_open_private() for proc_mountsYann Droneaud
A patchset to remove support for passing pre-allocated struct seq_file to seq_open(). Such feature is undocumented and prone to error. In particular, if seq_release() is used in release handler, it will kfree() a pointer which was not allocated by seq_open(). So this patchset drops support for pre-allocated struct seq_file: it's only of use in proc_namespace.c and can be easily replaced by using seq_open_private()/seq_release_private(). Additionally, it documents the use of file->private_data to hold pointer to struct seq_file by seq_open(). This patch (of 3): Since patch described below, from v2.6.15-rc1, seq_open() could use a struct seq_file already allocated by the caller if the pointer to the structure is stored in file->private_data before calling the function. Commit 1abe77b0fc4b485927f1f798ae81a752677e1d05 Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Date: Mon Nov 7 17:15:34 2005 -0500 [PATCH] allow callers of seq_open do allocation themselves Allow caller of seq_open() to kmalloc() seq_file + whatever else they want and set ->private_data to it. seq_open() will then abstain from doing allocation itself. Such behavior is only used by mounts_open_common(). In order to drop support for such uncommon feature, proc_mounts is converted to use seq_open_private(), which take care of allocating the proc_mounts structure, making it available through ->private in struct seq_file. Conversely, proc_mounts is converted to use seq_release_private(), in order to release the private structure allocated by seq_open_private(). Then, ->private is used directly instead of proc_mounts() macro to access to the proc_mounts structure.
