While we do currently return -EFAULT in this case, it seems prudent to
follow the behaviour of other syscalls like clone3. It seems quite
unlikely that anyone depends on this error code being EFAULT, but we can
always revert this if it turns out to be an issue.

* tag 'pull-stable-struct_fd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
add struct fd constructors, get rid of __to_fd()
struct fd: representation change
introduce fd_file(), convert all accessors to it.
The fallocate system call takes a mode argument, but that argument
contains a wild mix of exclusive modes and an optional flags.
Replace FALLOC_FL_SUPPORTED_MASK with FALLOC_FL_MODE_MASK, which excludes
the optional flag bit, so that we can use switch statement on the value
to easily enumerate the cases while getting the check for duplicate modes
for free.
To make this (and in the future the file system implementations) more
readable also add a symbolic name for the 0 mode used to allocate blocks.

For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

"Features:
- Support passing NULL along AT_EMPTY_PATH for statx().
NULL paths with any flag value other than AT_EMPTY_PATH go the
usual route and end up with -EFAULT to retain compatibility (Rust
is abusing calls of the sort to detect availability of statx)
This avoids path lookup code, lockref management, memory allocation
and in case of NULL path userspace memory access (which can be
quite expensive with SMAP on x86_64)
- Don't block i_writecount during exec. Remove the
deny_write_access() mechanism for executables
- Relax open_by_handle_at() permissions in specific cases where we
can prove that the caller had sufficient privileges to open a file
- Switch timespec64 fields in struct inode to discrete integers
freeing up 4 bytes
Fixes:
- Fix false positive circular locking warning in hfsplus
- Initialize hfs_inode_info after hfs_alloc_inode() in hfs
- Avoid accidental overflows in vfs_fallocate()
- Don't interrupt fallocate with EINTR in tmpfs to avoid constantly
restarting shmem_fallocate()
- Add missing quote in comment in fs/readdir
Cleanups:
- Don't assign and test in an if statement in mqueue. Move the
assignment out of the if statement
- Reflow the logic in may_create_in_sticky()
- Remove the usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API from procfs
- Reject FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL requets that depend on the new
mount api early
- Rename variables in copy_tree() to make it easier to understand
- Replace WARN(down_read_trylock, ...) abuse with proper asserts in
various places in the VFS
- Get rid of user_path_at_empty() and drop the empty argument from
getname_flags()
- Check for error while copying and no path in one branch in
getname_flags()
- Avoid redundant smp_mb() for THP handling in do_dentry_open()
- Rename parent_ino to d_parent_ino and make it use RCU
- Remove unused header include in fs/readdir
- Export in_group_capable() helper and switch f2fs and fuse over to
it instead of open-coding the logic in both places"

"Misc:
- Don't misleadingly warn during filesystem thaw operations.
It's possible that a block device which was frozen before it was
mounted can cause a failing thaw operation if someone concurrently
tried to mount it while that thaw operation was issued and the
device had already been temporarily claimed for the mount (The
mount will of course be aborted because the device is frozen).

- Make netfs_page_mkwrite() whether folio->mapping is vallid after
acquiring the folio lock.
- Make netfs_page_mkrite() flush conflicting data instead of waiting.
fsnotify:
- Ensure that fsnotify creation events are generated before fsnotify
open events when a file is created via ->atomic_open(). The
ordering was broken before.
- Ensure that no fsnotify events are generated for O_PATH file
descriptors. While no fsnotify open events were generated, fsnotify
close events were. Make it consistent and don't produce any"

filemap_nr_thps on kernels built without CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR
expands to 0, allowing the compiler to eliminate the entire thing, with
exception of the fence (and the branch leading there).
So happens required synchronisation between i_writecount and nr_thps
changes is already provided by the full fence coming from
get_write_access -> atomic_inc_unless_negative, thus the smp_mb instance
above can be removed regardless of CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR.
While I updated commentary in places claiming to match the now-removed
fence, I did not try to patch them to act on the compile option.
I did not bother benchmarking it, not issuing a spurious full fence in
the fast path does not warrant justification from perf standpoint.

The old ftruncate() syscall, using the 32-bit off_t misses a sign
extension when called in compat mode on 64-bit architectures. As a
result, passing a negative length accidentally succeeds in truncating
to file size between 2GiB and 4GiB.
Changing the type of the compat syscall to the signed compat_off_t
changes the behavior so it instead returns -EINVAL.
The native entry point, the truncate() syscall and the corresponding
loff_t based variants are all correct already and do not suffer
from this mistake.

When a file is opened and created with open(..., O_CREAT) we get
both the CREATE and OPEN fsnotify events and would expect them in that
order. For most filesystems we get them in that order because
open_last_lookups() calls fsnofify_create() and then do_open() (from
path_openat()) calls vfs_open()->do_dentry_open() which calls
fsnotify_open().
However when ->atomic_open is used, the
do_dentry_open() -> fsnotify_open()
call happens from finish_open() which is called from the ->atomic_open
handler in lookup_open() which is called *before* open_last_lookups()
calls fsnotify_create. So we get the "open" notification before
"create" - which is backwards. ltp testcase inotify02 tests this and
reports the inconsistency.
This patch lifts the fsnotify_open() call out of do_dentry_open() and
places it higher up the call stack. There are three callers of
do_dentry_open().
For vfs_open() and kernel_file_open() the fsnotify_open() is placed
directly in that caller so there should be no behavioural change.
For finish_open() there are two cases:
- finish_open is used in ->atomic_open handlers. For these we add a
call to fsnotify_open() at open_last_lookups() if FMODE_OPENED is
set - which means do_dentry_open() has been called.
- finish_open is used in ->tmpfile() handlers. For these a similar
call to fsnotify_open() is added to vfs_tmpfile()
With this patch NFSv3 is restored to its previous behaviour (before
->atomic_open support was added) of generating CREATE notifications
before OPEN, and NFSv4 now has that same correct ordering that is has
not had before. I haven't tested other filesystems.

Historically, the signed integer overflow sanitizer did not work in the
kernel due to its interaction with `-fwrapv` but this has since been
changed [1] in the newest version of Clang. It was re-enabled in the
kernel with Commit 557f8c582a ("ubsan: Reintroduce signed overflow
sanitizer").
Let's use the check_add_overflow helper to first verify the addition
stays within the bounds of its type (long long); then we can use that
sum for the following check.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Promote IMA/EVM to a proper LSM
This is the bulk of the diffstat, and the source of all the changes
in the VFS code. Prior to the start of the LSM stacking work it was
important that IMA/EVM were separate from the rest of the LSMs,
complete with their own hooks, infrastructure, etc. as it was the
only way to enable IMA/EVM at the same time as a LSM.
However, now that the bulk of the LSM infrastructure supports
multiple simultaneous LSMs, we can simplify things greatly by
bringing IMA/EVM into the LSM infrastructure as proper LSMs. This is
something I've wanted to see happen for quite some time and Roberto
was kind enough to put in the work to make it happen.
- Use the LSM hook default values to simplify the call_int_hook() macro
Previously the call_int_hook() macro required callers to supply a
default return value, despite a default value being specified when
the LSM hook was defined.
This simplifies the macro by using the defined default return value
which makes life easier for callers and should also reduce the number
of return value bugs in the future (we've had a few pop up recently,
hence this work).
- Use the KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of kmem_cache_create()
The guidance appears to be to use the KMEM_CACHE() macro when
possible and there is no reason why we can't use the macro, so let's
use it.
- Fix a number of comment typos in the LSM hook comment blocks
Not much to say here, we fixed some questionable grammar decisions in
the LSM hook comment blocks.

Move hardcoded IMA function calls (not appraisal-specific functions) from
various places in the kernel to the LSM infrastructure, by introducing a
new LSM named 'ima' (at the end of the LSM list and always enabled like
'integrity').
Having IMA before EVM in the Makefile is sufficient to preserve the
relative order of the new 'ima' LSM in respect to the upcoming 'evm' LSM,
and thus the order of IMA and EVM function calls as when they were
hardcoded.
Make moved functions as static (except ima_post_key_create_or_update(),
which is not in ima_main.c), and register them as implementation of the
respective hooks in the new function init_ima_lsm().
Select CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH, to ensure that the path-based LSM hook
path_post_mknod is always available and ima_post_path_mknod() is always
executed to mark files as new, as before the move.
A slight difference is that IMA and EVM functions registered for the

move those into a new file_lock_core, and embed that inside struct
file_lock.

Pull vfs rw updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains updates from Amir for read-write backing file helpers
for stacking filesystems such as overlayfs:
- Fanotify is currently in the process of introducing pre content
events. Roughly, a new permission event will be added indicating
that it is safe to write to the file being accessed. These events
are used by hierarchical storage managers to e.g., fill the content
of files on first access.
During that work we noticed that our current permission checking is
inconsistent in rw_verify_area() and remap_verify_area().
Especially in the splice code permission checking is done multiple
times. For example, one time for the whole range and then again for
partial ranges inside the iterator.
In addition, we mostly do permission checking before we call
file_start_write() except for a few places where we call it after.
For pre-content events we need such permission checking to be done
before file_start_write(). So this is a nice reason to clean this
all up.
After this series, all permission checking is done before
file_start_write().
As part of this cleanup we also massaged the splice code a bit. We
got rid of a few helpers because we are alredy drowning in special
read-write helpers. We also cleaned up the return types for splice
helpers.
- Introduce generic read-write helpers for backing files. This lifts
some overlayfs code to common code so it can be used by the FUSE
passthrough work coming in over the next cycles. Make Amir and
Miklos the maintainers for this new subsystem of the vfs"

A backing file struct stores two path's, one "real" path that is referring
to f_inode and one "fake" path, which should be displayed to users in
/proc/<pid>/maps.
There is a lot more potential code that needs to know the "real" path, then
code that needs to know the "fake" path.
Instead of code having to request the "real" path with file_real_path(),
store the "real" path in f_path and require code that needs to know the
"fake" path request it with file_user_path().
Replace the file_real_path() helper with a simple const accessor f_path().
After this change, file_dentry() is not expected to observe any files
with overlayfs f_path and real f_inode, so the call to ->d_real() should
not be needed. Leave the ->d_real() call for now and add an assertion
in ovl_d_real() to catch if we made wrong assumptions.

A writeable mapped backing file can perform writes to the real inode.
Therefore, the real path mount must be kept writable so long as the

Pull fchmodat2 system call from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the fchmodat2() system call. It is a revised version of the
fchmodat() system call, adding a missing flag argument. Support for
both AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW and AT_EMPTY_PATH are included.
Adding this system call revision has been a longstanding request but
so far has always fallen through the cracks. While the kernel
implementation of fchmodat() does not have a flag argument the libc
provided POSIX-compliant fchmodat(3) version does. Both glibc and musl
have to implement a workaround in order to support AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
(see [1] and [2]).
The workaround is brittle because it relies not just on O_PATH and
O_NOFOLLOW semantics and procfs magic links but also on our rather
inconsistent symlink semantics.
This gives userspace a proper fchmodat2() system call that libcs can
use to properly implement fchmodat(3) and allows them to get rid of
their hacks. In this case it will immediately benefit them as the
current workaround is already defunct because of aformentioned
inconsistencies.
In addition to AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, give userspace the ability to use
AT_EMPTY_PATH with fchmodat2(). This is already possible with
fchownat() so there's no reason to not also support it for
fchmodat2().
The implementation is simple and comes with selftests. Implementation
of the system call and wiring up the system call are done as separate
patches even though they could arguably be one patch. But in case
there are merge conflicts from other system call additions it can be
beneficial to have separate patches"

close(2) is a special case which guarantees a shallow kernel stack,
making delegation to task_work machinery unnecessary. Said delegation is
problematic as it involves atomic ops and interrupt masking trips, none
of which are cheap on x86-64. Forcing close(2) to do it looks like an
oversight in the original work.
Moreover presence of CONFIG_RSEQ adds an additional overhead as fput()
-> task_work_add(..., TWA_RESUME) -> set_notify_resume() makes the
thread returning to userspace land in resume_user_mode_work(), where
rseq_handle_notify_resume takes a SMAP round-trip if rseq is enabled for
the thread (and it is by default with contemporary glibc).

This allows userspace to avoid going through /proc/self/fd when dealing
with all types of file descriptors for chmod(), and makes fchmodat2() a
proper superset of all other chmod syscalls.
The primary difference between fchmodat2(AT_EMPTY_PATH) and fchmod() is
that fchmod() doesn't operate on O_PATH file descriptors by design. To
quote open(2):
> O_PATH (since Linux 2.6.39)
> [...]
> The file itself is not opened, and other file operations (e.g.,
> read(2), write(2), fchmod(2), fchown(2), fgetxattr(2), ioctl(2),
> mmap(2)) fail with the error EBADF.
However, procfs has allowed userspace to do this operation ever since
the introduction of O_PATH through magic-links, so adding this feature
is only an improvement for programs that have to mess around with
/proc/self/fd/$n today to get this behaviour. In addition,
fchownat(AT_EMPTY_PATH) has existed since the introduction of O_PATH and
allows chown() operations directly on O_PATH descriptors.

On the userspace side fchmodat(3) is implemented as a wrapper
function which implements the POSIX-specified interface. This
interface differs from the underlying kernel system call, which does not
have a flags argument. Most implementations require procfs [1][2].
There doesn't appear to be a good userspace workaround for this issue
but the implementation in the kernel is pretty straight-forward.
The new fchmodat2() syscall allows to pass the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag,
unlike existing fchmodat.

Pull vfs file handling updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains Amir's work to fix a long-standing problem where an
unprivileged overlayfs mount can be used to avoid fanotify permission
events that were requested for an inode or superblock on the
underlying filesystem.
Some background about files opened in overlayfs. If a file is opened
in overlayfs @file->f_path will refer to a "fake" path. What this
means is that while @file->f_inode will refer to inode of the
underlying layer, @file->f_path refers to an overlayfs
{dentry,vfsmount} pair. The reasons for doing this are out of scope
here but it is the reason why the vfs has been providing the
open_with_fake_path() helper for overlayfs for very long time now. So
nothing new here.
This is for sure not very elegant and everyone including the overlayfs
maintainers agree. Improving this significantly would involve more
fragile and potentially rather invasive changes.
In various codepaths access to the path of the underlying filesystem
is needed for such hybrid file. The best example is fsnotify where
this becomes security relevant. Passing the overlayfs
@file->f_path->dentry will cause fsnotify to skip generating fsnotify
events registered on the underlying inode or superblock.
To fix this we extend the vfs provided open_with_fake_path() concept
for overlayfs to create a backing file container that holds the real
path and to expose a helper that can be used by relevant callers to
get access to the path of the underlying filesystem through the new
file_real_path() helper. This pattern is similar to what we do in
d_real() and d_real_inode().
The first beneficiary is fsnotify and fixes the security sensitive
problem mentioned above.
There's a couple of nice cleanups included as well.
Over time, the old open_with_fake_path() helper added specifically for
overlayfs a long time ago started to get used in other places such as
cachefiles. Even though cachefiles have nothing to do with hybrid
files.
The only reason cachefiles used that concept was that files opened
with open_with_fake_path() aren't charged against the caller's open
file limit by raising FMODE_NOACCOUNT. It's just mere coincidence that
both overlayfs and cachefiles need to ensure to not overcharge the
caller for their internal open calls.
So this work disentangles FMODE_NOACCOUNT use cases and backing file
use-cases by adding the FMODE_BACKING flag which indicates that the
file can be used to retrieve the backing file of another filesystem.
(Fyi, Jens will be sending you a really nice cleanup from Christoph
that gets rid of 3 FMODE_* flags otherwise this would be the last
fmode_t bit we'd be using.)
So now overlayfs becomes the sole user of the renamed
open_with_fake_path() helper which is now named backing_file_open().
For internal kernel users such as cachefiles that are only interested
in FMODE_NOACCOUNT but not in FMODE_BACKING we add a new
kernel_file_open() helper which opens a file without being charged
against the caller's open file limit. All new helpers are properly
documented and clearly annotated to mention their special uses.
We also rename vfs_tmpfile_open() to kernel_tmpfile_open() to clearly
distinguish it from vfs_tmpfile() and align it the other kernel_*()
internal helpers"

Overlayfs uses open_with_fake_path() to allocate internal kernel files,

Allocate a container struct backing_file for those internal files, that

cachefiles uses kernel_open_tmpfile() to open kernel internal tmpfile
without accounting for nr_files.
cachefiles uses open_with_fake_path() for the same reason without the
need for a fake path.
Fork open_with_fake_path() to kernel_file_open() which only does the
noaccount part and use it in cachefiles.

fsnotify_open() hook is called only from high level system calls
context and not called for the very many helpers to open files.
This may makes sense for many of the special file open cases, but it is
inconsistent with fsnotify_close() hook that is called for every last
fput() of on a file object with FMODE_OPENED.
As a result, it is possible to observe ACCESS, MODIFY and CLOSE events
without ever observing an OPEN event.
Fix this inconsistency by replacing all the fsnotify_open() hooks with
a single hook inside do_dentry_open().
If there are special cases that would like to opt-out of the possible
overhead of fsnotify() call in fsnotify_open(), they would probably also
want to avoid the overhead of fsnotify() call in the rest of the fsnotify
hooks, so they should be opening that file with the __FMODE_NONOTIFY flag.
However, in the majority of those cases, the s_fsnotify_connectors
optimization in fsnotify_parent() would be sufficient to avoid the
overhead of fsnotify() call anyway.

After a couple of years and multiple LTS releases we received a report
that the behavior of O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT changed starting with v5.7.
On kernels prior to v5.7 combinations of O_DIRECTORY, O_CREAT, O_EXCL
had the following semantics:
(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
* d doesn't exist: create regular file
* d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
* d exists and is a directory: EISDIR
(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
* d doesn't exist: create regular file
* d exists and is a regular file: EEXIST
* d exists and is a directory: EEXIST
(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
* d doesn't exist: ENOENT
* d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
* d exists and is a directory: open directory
On kernels since to v5.7 combinations of O_DIRECTORY, O_CREAT, O_EXCL
have the following semantics:
(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
* d doesn't exist: ENOTDIR (create regular file)
* d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
* d exists and is a directory: EISDIR
(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
* d doesn't exist: ENOTDIR (create regular file)
* d exists and is a regular file: EEXIST
* d exists and is a directory: EEXIST
(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
* d doesn't exist: ENOENT
* d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
* d exists and is a directory: open directory
This is a fairly substantial semantic change that userspace didn't
notice until Pedro took the time to deliberately figure out corner
cases. Since no one noticed this breakage we can somewhat safely assume
that O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT combinations are likely unused.
The v5.7 breakage is especially weird because while ENOTDIR is returned
indicating failure a regular file is actually created. This doesn't make
a lot of sense.
Time was spent finding potential users of this combination. Searching on
codesearch.debian.net showed that codebases often express semantical
expectations about O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT which are completely contrary
to what our code has done and currently does.
The expectation often is that this particular combination would create
and open a directory. This suggests users who tried to use that
combination would stumble upon the counterintuitive behavior no matter
if pre-v5.7 or post v5.7 and quickly realize neither semantics give them
what they want. For some examples see the code examples in [1] to [3]
and the discussion in [4].
There are various ways to address this issue. The lazy/simple option
would be to restore the pre-v5.7 behavior and to just live with that bug
forever. But since there's a real chance that the O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT
quirk isn't relied upon we should try to get away with murder(ing bad
semantics) first. If we need to Frankenstein pre-v5.7 behavior later so
be it.
So let's simply return EINVAL categorically for O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT
combinations. In addition to cleaning up the old bug this also opens up
the possiblity to make that flag combination do something more intuitive
in the future.
Starting with this commit the following semantics apply:
(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
* d doesn't exist: EINVAL
* d exists and is a regular file: EINVAL
* d exists and is a directory: EINVAL
(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
* d doesn't exist: EINVAL
* d exists and is a regular file: EINVAL
* d exists and is a directory: EINVAL
(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
* d doesn't exist: ENOENT
* d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
* d exists and is a directory: open directory
One additional note, O_TMPFILE is implemented as:
#define __O_TMPFILE 020000000
#define O_TMPFILE (__O_TMPFILE | O_DIRECTORY)
#define O_TMPFILE_MASK (__O_TMPFILE | O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
For older kernels it was important to return an explicit error when
O_TMPFILE wasn't supported. So O_TMPFILE requires that O_DIRECTORY is
raised alongside __O_TMPFILE. It also enforced that O_CREAT wasn't
specified. Since O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT could be used to create a regular
allowing that combination together with __O_TMPFILE would've meant that
false positives were possible, i.e., that a regular file was created
instead of a O_TMPFILE. This could've been used to trick userspace into
thinking it operated on a O_TMPFILE when it wasn't.
Now that we block O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT completely the check for O_CREAT
in the __O_TMPFILE branch via if ((flags & O_TMPFILE_MASK) != O_TMPFILE)
can be dropped. Instead we can simply check verify that O_DIRECTORY is
raised via if (!(flags & O_DIRECTORY)) and explain this in two comments.
As Aleksa pointed out O_PATH is unaffected by this change since it
always returned EINVAL if O_CREAT was specified - with or without
O_DIRECTORY.

It falls down to do_faccessat without the AT_EACCESS flag, which in turn
results in allocation of new creds in order to modify fsuid/fsgid and
caps. This is a very expensive process single-threaded and most notably
multi-threaded, with numerous structures getting refed and unrefed on
imminent new cred destruction.
Turns out for typical consumers the resulting creds would be identical
and this can be checked upfront, avoiding the hard work.

Pull vfs hardening update from Christian Brauner:
"Jan pointed out that during shutdown both filp_close() and super block
destruction will use basic printk logging when bugs are detected. This
causes issues in a few scenarios:
- Tools like syzkaller cannot figure out that the logged message
indicates a bug.
- Users that explicitly opt in to have the kernel bug on data
corruption by selecting CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION should see
the kernel crash when they did actually select that option.
- When there are busy inodes after the superblock is shut down later
access to such a busy inodes walks through freed memory. It would
be better to cleanly crash instead.
All of this can be addressed by using the already existing
CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() macro in these places when kernel bugs are
detected. Its logging improvement is useful for all users.
Otherwise this only has a meaningful behavioral effect when users do
select CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION which means this is backward
compatible for regular users"

Merge tag 'fs.idmapped.v6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping
Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:
- Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b ("fs:
introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
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 relevant on the mount level. Especially for
non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
potential source for bugs.
This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.
Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments.
Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.
Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.
We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
requirements.
In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.
- Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.
A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.
However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
up.
As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
additional tests.

Currently, filp_close() and generic_shutdown_super() use printk() to log
messages when bugs are detected. This is problematic because infrastructure
like syzkaller has no idea that this message indicates a bug.
In addition, some people explicitly want their kernels to BUG() when kernel
data corruption has been detected (CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION).
And finally, when generic_shutdown_super() detects remaining inodes on a
system without CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION, it would be nice if later
accesses to a busy inode would at least crash somewhat cleanly rather than
walking through freed memory.
To address all three, use CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() when kernel bugs are
detected.
