vfs: introduce clone_private_mount()

2014-10-23T22:14:36+00:00

Overlayfs needs a private clone of the mount, so create a function for
this and export to modules.

mnt: Prevent pivot_root from creating a loop in the mount tree

2014-10-14T21:27:19+00:00

Andy Lutomirski recently demonstrated that when chroot is used to set
the root path below the path for the new ``root'' passed to pivot_root
the pivot_root system call succeeds and leaks mounts.

In examining the code I see that starting with a new root that is
below the current root in the mount tree will result in a loop in the
mount tree after the mounts are detached and then reattached to one
another.  Resulting in all kinds of ugliness including a leak of that
mounts involved in the leak of the mount loop.

Prevent this problem by ensuring that the new mount is reachable from
the current root of the mount tree.

Pull do_umount fix from Andy Lutomirski:
 "This fix really ought to be safe.  Inside a mountns owned by a
  non-root user namespace, the namespace root almost always has
  MNT_LOCKED set (if it doesn't, then there's a bug, because rootfs
  could be exposed).  In that case, calling umount on "/" will return
  -EINVAL with or without this patch.

  Outside a userns, this patch will have no effect.  may_mount, required
  by umount, already checks
     ns_capable(current->nsproxy->mnt_ns->user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
  so an additional capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) check will have no effect.

  That leaves anything that calls umount on "/" in a non-root userns
  while chrooted.  This is the case that is currently broken (it
  remounts ro, which shouldn't be allowed) and that my patch changes to
  -EPERM.  If anything relies on *that*, I'd be surprised"

vfs: move getname() from callers to do_mount()

2014-10-09T06:39:16+00:00

It would make more sense to pass char __user * instead of
char * in callers of do_mount() and do getname() inside do_mount().

fs: namespace: suppress 'may be used uninitialized' warnings

2014-10-09T06:39:10+00:00

The gcc version 4.9.1 compiler complains Even though it isn't possible for
these variables to not get initialized before they are used.

fs/namespace.c: In function ‘SyS_mount’:
fs/namespace.c:2720:8: warning: ‘kernel_dev’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  ret = do_mount(kernel_dev, kernel_dir->name, kernel_type, flags,

vfs: Add a function to lazily unmount all mounts from any dentry.

2014-10-09T06:38:55+00:00

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.

    documenting deleted wrong turns.

vfs: factor out lookup_mountpoint from new_mountpoint

2014-10-09T06:38:55+00:00

I am shortly going to add a new user of struct mountpoint that
needs to look up existing entries but does not want to create
a struct mountpoint if one does not exist.  Therefore to keep
the code simple and easy to read split out lookup_mountpoint
from new_mountpoint.

vfs: Don't allow overwriting mounts in the current mount namespace

2014-10-09T06:38:54+00:00

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  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
