Previous patch changed handling of remount/reconfigure to ignore all
options, including those that are unknown to the fuse kernel fs.  This was
done for backward compatibility, but this likely only affects the old
mount(2) API.

The new fsconfig(2) based reconfiguration could possibly be improved.  This
would make the new API less of a drop in replacement for the old, OTOH this
is a good chance to get rid of some weirdnesses in the old API.

Several other behaviors might make sense:

 1) unknown options are rejected, known options are ignored

 2) unknown options are rejected, known options are rejected if the value
 is changed, allowed otherwise

 3) all options are rejected

Prior to the backward compatibility fix to ignore all options all known
options were accepted (1), even if they change the value of a mount
parameter; fuse_reconfigure() does not look at the config values set by
fuse_parse_param().

To fix that we'd need to verify that the value provided is the same as set
in the initial configuration (2).  The major drawback is that this is much
more complex than just rejecting all attempts at changing options (3);
i.e. all options signify initial configuration values and don't make sense
on reconfigure.

This patch opts for (3) with the rationale that no mount options are
reconfigurable in fuse.

Overlayfs is using clone_private_mount() to create internal mounts for
underlying layers.  These are used for operations requiring a path, such as
dentry_open().

Since these private mounts are not in any namespace they are treated as
short term, "detached" mounts and mntput() involves taking the global
mount_lock, which can result in serious cacheline pingpong.

Make these private mounts longterm instead, which trade the penalty on
mntput() for a slightly longer shutdown time due to an added RCU grace
period when putting these mounts.

Introduce a new helper kern_unmount_many() that can take care of multiple
longterm mounts with a single RCU grace period.

Pull thread updates from Christian Brauner:
 "We have been discussing using pidfds to attach to namespaces for quite
  a while and the patches have in one form or another already existed
  for about a year. But I wanted to wait to see how the general api
  would be received and adopted.

  This contains the changes to make it possible to use pidfds to attach
  to the namespaces of a process, i.e. they can be passed as the first
  argument to the setns() syscall.

  When only a single namespace type is specified the semantics are
  equivalent to passing an nsfd. That means setns(nsfd, CLONE_NEWNET)
  equals setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWNET).

  However, when a pidfd is passed, multiple namespace flags can be
  specified in the second setns() argument and setns() will attach the
  caller to all the specified namespaces all at once or to none of them.

  Specifying 0 is not valid together with a pidfd. Here are just two
  obvious examples:

    setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWNET);
    setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWUSER);

  Allowing to also attach subsets of namespaces supports various
  use-cases where callers setns to a subset of namespaces to retain
  privilege, perform an action and then re-attach another subset of
  namespaces.

  Apart from significantly reducing the number of syscalls needed to
  attach to all currently supported namespaces (eight "open+setns"
  sequences vs just a single "setns()"), this also allows atomic setns
  to a set of namespaces, i.e. either attaching to all namespaces
  succeeds or we fail without having changed anything.

  This is centered around a new internal struct nsset which holds all
  information necessary for a task to switch to a new set of namespaces
  atomically. Fwiw, with this change a pidfd becomes the only token
  needed to interact with a container. I'm expecting this to be
  picked-up by util-linux for nsenter rather soon.

  Associated with this change is a shiny new test-suite dedicated to
  setns() (for pidfds and nsfds alike)"

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.

For quite a while we have been thinking about using pidfds to attach to
namespaces. This patchset has existed for about a year already but we've
wanted to wait to see how the general api would be received and adopted.
Now that more and more programs in userspace have started using pidfds
for process management it's time to send this one out.

This patch makes it possible to use pidfds to attach to the namespaces
of another process, i.e. they can be passed as the first argument to the
setns() syscall. When only a single namespace type is specified the
semantics are equivalent to passing an nsfd. That means
setns(nsfd, CLONE_NEWNET) equals setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWNET). However,
when a pidfd is passed, multiple namespace flags can be specified in the
second setns() argument and setns() will attach the caller to all the
specified namespaces all at once or to none of them. Specifying 0 is not
valid together with a pidfd.

Here are just two obvious examples:
setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWNET);
setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWUSER);
Allowing to also attach subsets of namespaces supports various use-cases
where callers setns to a subset of namespaces to retain privilege, perform
an action and then re-attach another subset of namespaces.

If the need arises, as Eric suggested, we can extend this patchset to
assume even more context than just attaching all namespaces. His suggestion
specifically was about assuming the process' root directory when
setns(pidfd, 0) or setns(pidfd, SETNS_PIDFD) is specified. For now, just
keep it flexible in terms of supporting subsets of namespaces but let's
wait until we have users asking for even more context to be assumed. At
that point we can add an extension.

The obvious example where this is useful is a standard container
manager interacting with a running container: pushing and pulling files
or directories, injecting mounts, attaching/execing any kind of process,
managing network devices all these operations require attaching to all
or at least multiple namespaces at the same time. Given that nowadays
most containers are spawned with all namespaces enabled we're currently
looking at at least 14 syscalls, 7 to open the /proc/<pid>/ns/<ns>
nsfds, another 7 to actually perform the namespace switch. With time
namespaces we're looking at about 16 syscalls.
(We could amortize the first 7 or 8 syscalls for opening the nsfds by
 stashing them in each container's monitor process but that would mean
 we need to send around those file descriptors through unix sockets
 everytime we want to interact with the container or keep on-disk
 state. Even in scenarios where a caller wants to join a particular
 namespace in a particular order callers still profit from batching
 other namespaces. That mostly applies to the user namespace but
 all container runtimes I found join the user namespace first no matter
 if it privileges or deprivileges the container similar to how unshare
 behaves.)
With pidfds this becomes a single syscall no matter how many namespaces
are supposed to be attached to.

A decently designed, large-scale container manager usually isn't the
parent of any of the containers it spawns so the containers don't die
when it crashes or needs to update or reinitialize. This means that
for the manager to interact with containers through pids is inherently
racy especially on systems where the maximum pid number is not
significicantly bumped. This is even more problematic since we often spawn
and manage thousands or ten-thousands of containers. Interacting with a
container through a pid thus can become risky quite quickly. Especially
since we allow for an administrator to enable advanced features such as
syscall interception where we're performing syscalls in lieu of the
container. In all of those cases we use pidfds if they are available and
we pass them around as stable references. Using them to setns() to the
target process' namespaces is as reliable as using nsfds. Either the
target process is already dead and we get ESRCH or we manage to attach
to its namespaces but we can't accidently attach to another process'
namespaces. So pidfds lend themselves to be used with this api.
The other main advantage is that with this change the pidfd becomes the
only relevant token for most container interactions and it's the only
token we need to create and send around.

Apart from significiantly reducing the number of syscalls from double
digit to single digit which is a decent reason post-spectre/meltdown
this also allows to switch to a set of namespaces atomically, i.e.
either attaching to all the specified namespaces succeeds or we fail. If
we fail we haven't changed a single namespace. There are currently three
namespaces that can fail (other than for ENOMEM which really is not
very interesting since we then have other problems anyway) for
non-trivial reasons, user, mount, and pid namespaces. We can fail to
attach to a pid namespace if it is not our current active pid namespace
or a descendant of it. We can fail to attach to a user namespace because
we are multi-threaded or because our current mount namespace shares
filesystem state with other tasks, or because we're trying to setns()
to the same user namespace, i.e. the target task has the same user
namespace as we do. We can fail to attach to a mount namespace because
it shares filesystem state with other tasks or because we fail to lookup
the new root for the new mount namespace. In most non-pathological
scenarios these issues can be somewhat mitigated. But there are cases where
we're half-attached to some namespace and failing to attach to another one.
I've talked about some of these problem during the hallway track (something
only the pre-COVID-19 generation will remember) of Plumbers in Los Angeles
in 2018(?). Even if all these issues could be avoided with super careful
userspace coding it would be nicer to have this done in-kernel. Pidfds seem
to lend themselves nicely for this.

The other neat thing about this is that setns() becomes an actual
counterpart to the namespace bits of unshare().

Add a simple struct nsset. It holds all necessary pieces to switch to a new
set of namespaces without leaving a task in a half-switched state which we
will make use of in the next patch. This patch switches the existing setns
logic over without causing a change in setns() behavior. This brings
setns() closer to how unshare() works(). The prepare_ns() function is
responsible to prepare all necessary information. This has two reasons.
First it minimizes dependencies between individual namespaces, i.e. all
install handler can expect that all fields are properly initialized
independent in what order they are called in. Second, this makes the code
easier to maintain and easier to follow if it needs to be changed.

The prepare_ns() helper will only be switched over to use a flags argument
in the next patch. Here it will still use nstype as a simple integer
argument which was argued would be clearer. I'm not particularly
opinionated about this if it really helps or not. The struct nsset itself
already contains the flags field since its name already indicates that it
can contain information required by different namespaces. None of this
should have functional consequences.
