Currently, kernfs nodes can be created hidden and activated later by calling
kernfs_activate() to allow creation of multiple nodes to succeed or fail as
a unit. This is an one-way one-time-only transition. This patch introduces
kernfs_show() which can toggle visibility dynamically.
As the currently proposed use - toggling the cgroup pressure files - only
requires operating on leaf nodes, for the sake of simplicity, restrict it as
such for now.
Hiding uses the same mechanism as deactivation and likewise guarantees that
there are no in-flight operations on completion. KERNFS_ACTIVATED and
KERNFS_HIDDEN are used to manage the interactions between activations and
show/hide operations. A node is visible iff both activated & !hidden.

Factor out kernfs_activate_one() from kernfs_activate() and reorder
operations so that KERNFS_ACTIVATED now simply indicates whether activation
was attempted on the node ignoring whether activation took place. As the
flag doesn't have a reader, the refactoring and reordering shouldn't cause
any behavior difference.

KERNFS_ACTIVATED tracks whether a given node has ever been activated. As a
node was only deactivated on removal, this was used for
1. Drain optimization (removed by the previous patch).
2. To hide !activated nodes
3. To avoid double activations
4. Reject adding children to a node being removed
5. Skip activaing a node which is being removed.
We want to decouple deactivation from removal so that nodes can be
deactivated and hidden dynamically, which makes KERNFS_ACTIVATED useless for
all of the above purposes.
#1 is already gone. #2 and #3 can instead test whether the node is currently
active. A new flag KERNFS_REMOVING is added to explicitly mark nodes which
are being removed for #4 and #5.
While this leaves KERNFS_ACTIVATED with no users, leave it be as it will be
used in a following patch.

__kernfs_remove() was skipping draining based on KERNFS_ACTIVATED - whether
the node has ever been activated since creation. Instead, update it to
always call kernfs_drain() which now drains or skips based on the precise
drain conditions. This ensures that the nodes will be deactivated and
drained regardless of their states.
This doesn't make meaningful difference now but will enable deactivating and
draining nodes dynamically by making removals safe when racing those
operations.
While at it, drop / update comments.

Track the number of mmapped files and files that need to be released and
skip kernfs_drain_open_file() if both are zero, which are the precise
conditions which require draining open_files. The early exit test is
factored into kernfs_should_drain_open_files() which is now tested by
kernfs_drain_open_files()'s caller - kernfs_drain().
This isn't a meaningful optimization on its own but will enable future
stand-alone kernfs_deactivate() implementation.
v2: Chengming noticed that on->nr_to_release was leaking after ->open()
failure. Fix it by telling kernfs_unlink_open_file() that it's called
from the ->open() fail path and should dec the counter. Use kzalloc() to
allocate kernfs_open_node so that the tracking fields are correctly
initialized.

kernfs_node->attr.open is an RCU pointer to kernfs_open_node. However, RCU
dereference is currently only used in kernfs_notify(). Everywhere else,
either we're holding the lock which protects it or know that the
kernfs_open_node is pinned becaused we have a pointer to a kernfs_open_file
which is hanging off of it.
kernfs_deref_open_node() is used for the latter case - accessing
kernfs_open_node from kernfs_open_file. The lifetime and visibility rules
are simple and clear here. To someone who can access a kernfs_open_file, its
kernfs_open_node is pinned and visible through of->kn->attr.open.
Replace kernfs_deref_open_node() which simpler of_on(). The former takes
both @kn and @of and RCU deref @kn->attr.open while sanity checking with
@of. The latter takes @of and uses protected deref on of->kn->attr.open.
As the return value can't be NULL, remove the error handling in the callers
too.
This shouldn't cause any functional changes.

In current kernfs design a single mutex, kernfs_open_file_mutex, protects
the list of kernfs_open_file instances corresponding to a sysfs attribute.
So even if different tasks are opening or closing different sysfs files
they can contend on osq_lock of this mutex. The contention is more apparent
in large scale systems with few hundred CPUs where most of the CPUs have
running tasks that are opening, accessing or closing sysfs files at any
point of time.
Using hashed mutexes in place of a single global mutex, can significantly
reduce contention around global mutex and hence can provide better
scalability. Moreover as these hashed mutexes are not part of kernfs_node
objects we will not see any singnificant change in memory utilization of
kernfs based file systems like sysfs, cgroupfs etc.
Modify interface introduced in previous patch to make use of hashed
mutexes. Use kernfs_node address as hashing key.

Previously the protection of kernfs_pr_cont_buf was piggy backed by
rename_lock, which means that pr_cont() needs to be protected under
rename_lock. This can cause potential circular lock dependencies.
If there is an OOM, we have the following call hierarchy:
-> cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed()
-> pr_cont_cgroup_name()
-> pr_cont_kernfs_name()
pr_cont_kernfs_name() will grab rename_lock and call printk. So we have
the following lock dependencies:
kernfs_rename_lock -> console_sem
Sometimes, printk does a wakeup before releasing console_sem, which has
the dependence chain:
console_sem -> p->pi_lock -> rq->lock
Now, imagine one wants to read cgroup_name under rq->lock, for example,
printing cgroup_name in a tracepoint in the scheduler code. They will
be holding rq->lock and take rename_lock:
rq->lock -> kernfs_rename_lock
Now they will deadlock.
A prevention to this circular lock dependency is to separate the
protection of pr_cont_buf from rename_lock. In principle, rename_lock
is to protect the integrity of cgroup name when copying to buf. Once
pr_cont_buf has got its content, rename_lock can be dropped. So it's
safe to drop rename_lock after kernfs_name_locked (and
kernfs_path_from_node_locked) and rely on a dedicated pr_cont_lock
to protect pr_cont_buf.

The decision to free kernfs_open_node object in kernfs_put_open_node can
be taken based on whether kernfs_open_node->files list is empty or not. As
far as kernfs_drain_open_files is concerned it can't overlap with
kernfs_fops_open and hence can check for ->attr.open optimistically
(if ->attr.open is NULL) or under kernfs_open_file_mutex (if it needs to
traverse the ->files list.) Thus kernfs_drain_open_files can work w/o ref
counting involved kernfs_open_node as well.
So remove ->refcnt and modify the above mentioned users accordingly.

The kernfs implementation has big lock granularity(kernfs_rwsem) so
every kernfs-based(e.g., sysfs, cgroup) fs are able to compete the
lock. It makes trouble for some cases to wait the global lock
for a long time even though they are totally independent contexts
each other.
A general example is process A goes under direct reclaim with holding
the lock when it accessed the file in sysfs and process B is waiting
the lock with exclusive mode and then process C is waiting the lock
until process B could finish the job after it gets the lock from
process A.
This patch switches the global kernfs_rwsem to per-fs lock, which
put the rwsem into kernfs_root.

It's been reported that doing stress test for module insertion and
removal can result in an ENOENT from libkmod for a valid module.
In kernfs_iop_lookup() a negative dentry is created if there's no kernfs
node associated with the dentry or the node is inactive.
But inactive kernfs nodes are meant to be invisible to the VFS and
creating a negative dentry for these can have unexpected side effects
when the node transitions to an active state.
The point of creating negative dentries is to avoid the expensive
alloc/free cycle that occurs if there are frequent lookups for kernfs
attributes that don't exist. So kernfs nodes that are not yet active
should not result in a negative dentry being created so when they
transition to an active state VFS lookups can create an associated
dentry is a natural way.
It's also been reported that https://github.com/osandov/blktests.git
test block/001 hangs during the test. It was suggested that recent
changes to blktests might have caused it but applying this patch
resolved the problem without change to blktests.

It seems a positive dentry in kernfs becomes a negative dentry directly
through d_delete() in vfs_rmdir(). dentry->d_time is uninitialized
when accessing it in kernfs_dop_revalidate(), because it is only
initialized when created as negative dentry in kernfs_iop_lookup().
The problem can be reproduced by the following command:
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/pids && mkdir hi && stat hi && rmdir hi && stat hi
A simple fixes seems to be initializing d->d_time for positive dentry
in kernfs_iop_lookup() as well. The downside is the negative dentry
will be revalidated again after it becomes negative in d_delete(),
because the revison of its parent must have been increased due to
its removal.
Alternative solution is implement .d_iput for kernfs, and assign d_time
for the newly-generated negative dentry in it. But we may need to
take kernfs_rwsem to protect again the concurrent kernfs_link_sibling()
on the parent directory, it is a little over-killing. Now the simple
fix is chosen.

The inode operations .permission() and .getattr() use the kernfs node
write lock but all that's needed is the read lock to protect against
partial updates of these kernfs node fields which are all done under
the write lock.
And .permission() is called frequently during path walks and can cause
quite a bit of contention between kernfs node operations and path
walks when the number of concurrent walks is high.
To change kernfs_iop_getattr() and kernfs_iop_permission() to take
the rw sem read lock instead of the write lock an additional lock is
needed to protect against multiple processes concurrently updating
the inode attributes and link count in kernfs_refresh_inode().
The inode i_lock seems like the sensible thing to use to protect these
inode attribute updates so use it in kernfs_refresh_inode().
The last hunk in the patch, applied to kernfs_fill_super(), is possibly
not needed but taking the lock was present originally. I prefer to
continue to take it to protect against a partial update of the source

If there are many lookups for non-existent paths these negative lookups
can lead to a lot of overhead during path walks.
The VFS allows dentries to be created as negative and hashed, and caches
them so they can be used to reduce the fairly high overhead alloc/free
cycle that occurs during these lookups.
Use the kernfs node parent revision to identify if a change has been
made to the containing directory so that the negative dentry can be
discarded and the lookup redone.

Add a revision counter to kernfs directory nodes so it can be used
to detect if a directory node has changed during negative dentry
revalidation.
There's an assumption that sizeof(unsigned long) <= sizeof(pointer)
on all architectures and as far as I know that assumption holds.
So adding a revision counter to the struct kernfs_elem_dir variant of
the kernfs_node type union won't increase the size of the kernfs_node
struct. This is because struct kernfs_elem_dir is at least
sizeof(pointer) smaller than the largest union variant. It's tempting
to make the revision counter a u64 but that would increase the size of
kernfs_node on archs where sizeof(pointer) is smaller than the revision
counter.

Merge tag 'idmapped-mounts-v5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some
time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or
directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes
with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more
filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and
maintainers.
Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here
are just a few:
- Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between
multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex
scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the
implementation of portable home directories in
systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home
directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple
computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This
effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at
login time.
- It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged
containers without having to change ownership permanently through
chown(2).
- It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to
mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the
user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their
Linux subsystem.
- It is possible to share files between containers with
non-overlapping idmappings.
- Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can
use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC)
permission checking.
- They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount
basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In
contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is
instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when
ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or
container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall
mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of
all files.
- Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as
idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped
to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself
take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It
simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is
especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of
files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home
directory and container and vm scenario.
- Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it
to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only
apply as long as the mount exists.
Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and
pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull
this:
- systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away
in their implementation of portable home directories.
https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/
- container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between
host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged
containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in
containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite
a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734
- The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest
in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is
ported.
- ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers.
I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed
here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the
mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of
talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones:
https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdfhttps://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/
This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and
xfs:
https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts
It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid
execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and
non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs
setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will
be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to
merge this.
In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with
user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to
map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace.
The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not
idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the
testsuite.
Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users
to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
currently marked with.
The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by
passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an
argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new
MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern
of extensibility.
The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped
mount:
- The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the
user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in.
- The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts.
- The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the
idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped.
- The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have
been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag
and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem.
The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the
kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler.
By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no
behavioral or performance changes are observed.
The manpage with a detailed description can be found here:
1d7b902e28
In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed
and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The
patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or
complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and
xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and
will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify
that port has been done correctly.
The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped
mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most
valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform
mounts based on file descriptors only.
Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2()
RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time
we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and
path resolution.
While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount
proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not
possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in
the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing.
With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last
restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api,
covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the
crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount
tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This
syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and
projects.
There is a simple tool available at
https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped
that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this
patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you
decide to pull this in the following weeks:

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.
As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

The posix acl permission checking helpers determine whether a caller is
privileged over an inode according to the acls associated with the
inode. Add helpers that make it possible to handle acls on idmapped
mounts.
The vfs and the filesystems targeted by this first iteration make use of
posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user() and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() to
translate basic posix access and default permissions such as the
ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP type according to the initial user namespace (or
the superblock's user namespace) to and from the caller's current user
namespace. Adapt these two helpers to handle idmapped mounts whereby we
either map from or into the mount's user namespace depending on in which
direction we're translating.
Similarly, cap_convert_nscap() is used by the vfs to translate user
namespace and non-user namespace aware filesystem capabilities from the
superblock's user namespace to the caller's user namespace. Enable it to
handle idmapped mounts by accounting for the mount's user namespace.
In addition the fileystems targeted in the first iteration of this patch
series make use of the posix_acl_chmod() and, posix_acl_update_mode()
helpers. Both helpers perform permission checks on the target inode. Let
them handle idmapped mounts. These two helpers are called when posix
acls are set by the respective filesystems to handle this case we extend
the ->set() method to take an additional user namespace argument to pass
the mount's user namespace down.
