Pull userns vfs updates from Eric Biederman:
"This tree contains some very long awaited work on generalizing the
user namespace support for mounting filesystems to include filesystems
with a backing store. The real world target is fuse but the goal is
to update the vfs to allow any filesystem to be supported. This
patchset is based on a lot of code review and testing to approach that
goal.
While looking at what is needed to support the fuse filesystem it
became clear that there were things like xattrs for security modules
that needed special treatment. That the resolution of those concerns
would not be fuse specific. That sorting out these general issues
made most sense at the generic level, where the right people could be
drawn into the conversation, and the issues could be solved for
everyone.
At a high level what this patchset does a couple of simple things:
- Add a user namespace owner (s_user_ns) to struct super_block.
- Teach the vfs to handle filesystem uids and gids not mapping into
to kuids and kgids and being reported as INVALID_UID and
INVALID_GID in vfs data structures.
By assigning a user namespace owner filesystems that are mounted with
only user namespace privilege can be detected. This allows security
modules and the like to know which mounts may not be trusted. This
also allows the set of uids and gids that are communicated to the
filesystem to be capped at the set of kuids and kgids that are in the
owning user namespace of the filesystem.
One of the crazier corner casees this handles is the case of inodes
whose i_uid or i_gid are not mapped into the vfs. Most of the code
simply doesn't care but it is easy to confuse the inode writeback path
so no operation that could cause an inode write-back is permitted for
such inodes (aka only reads are allowed).
This set of changes starts out by cleaning up the code paths involved
in user namespace permirted mounts. Then when things are clean enough
adds code that cleanly sets s_user_ns. Then additional restrictions
are added that are possible now that the filesystem superblock
contains owner information.
These changes should not affect anyone in practice, but there are some
parts of these restrictions that are changes in behavior.
- Andy's restriction on suid executables that does not honor the
suid bit when the path is from another mount namespace (think
/proc/[pid]/fd/) or when the filesystem was mounted by a less
privileged user.
- The replacement of the user namespace implicit setting of MNT_NODEV
with implicitly setting SB_I_NODEV on the filesystem superblock
instead.
Using SB_I_NODEV is a stronger form that happens to make this state
user invisible. The user visibility can be managed but it caused
problems when it was introduced from applications reasonably
expecting mount flags to be what they were set to.
There is a little bit of work remaining before it is safe to support
mounting filesystems with backing store in user namespaces, beyond
what is in this set of changes.
- Verifying the mounter has permission to read/write the block device
during mount.
- Teaching the integrity modules IMA and EVM to handle filesystems
mounted with only user namespace root and to reduce trust in their
security xattrs accordingly.
- Capturing the mounters credentials and using that for permission
checks in d_automount and the like. (Given that overlayfs already
does this, and we need the work in d_automount it make sense to
generalize this case).
Furthermore there are a few changes that are on the wishlist:
- Get all filesystems supporting posix acls using the generic posix
acls so that posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user and
posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user may be removed. [Maintainability]
- Reducing the permission checks in places such as remount to allow
the superblock owner to perform them.
- Allowing the superblock owner to chown files with unmapped uids and
gids to something that is mapped so the files may be treated
normally.
I am not considering even obvious relaxations of permission checks
until it is clear there are no more corner cases that need to be
locked down and handled generically.
Many thanks to Seth Forshee who kept this code alive, and putting up
with me rewriting substantial portions of what he did to handle more
corner cases, and for his diligent testing and reviewing of my
changes"

This reverts commit 3c9fe8cdff.
As Miklos points out in commit c1b2cc1a76, the "lookup_hash()" helper
is now unused, and in fact, with the hash salting changes, since the
hash of a dentry name now depends on the directory dentry it is in, the
helper function isn't even really likely to be useful.
So rather than keep it around in case somebody else might end up finding
a use for it, let's just remove the helper and not trick people into
thinking it might be a useful thing.
For example, I had obviously completely missed how the helper didn't
follow the normal dentry hashing patterns, and how the hash salting
patch broke overlayfs. Things would quietly build and look sane, but
not work.

The biggest part is preparation for selinux support, done by Vivek
Goyal. Essentially this makes all operations on underlying

everything nicely consistent.

Right now we remove MAY_WRITE/MAY_APPEND bits from mask if realfile is on
lower/. This is done as files on lower will never be written and will be
copied up. But to copy up a file, mounter should have MAY_READ permission
otherwise copy up will fail. So set MAY_READ in mask when MAY_WRITE is
reset.
Dan Walsh noticed this when he did access(lowerfile, W_OK) and it returned
True (context mounts) but when he tried to actually write to file, it
failed as mounter did not have permission on lower file.
[SzM] don't set MAY_READ if only MAY_APPEND is set without MAY_WRITE; this

Setting POSIX ACL needs special handling:
1) Some permission checks are done by ->setxattr() which now uses mounter's
creds ("ovl: do operations on underlying file system in mounter's
context"). These permission checks need to be done with current cred as
well.
2) Setting ACL can fail for various reasons. We do not need to copy up in
these cases.
In the mean time switch to using generic_setxattr.
[Arnd Bergmann] Fix link error without POSIX ACL. posix_acl_from_xattr()
doesn't have a 'static inline' implementation when CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL is
disabled, and I could not come up with an obvious way to do it.
This instead avoids the link error by defining two sets of ACL operations
and letting the compiler drop one of the two at compile time depending
on CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL. This avoids all references to the ACL code,
also leading to smaller code.

Inode attributes are copied up to overlay inode (uid, gid, mode, atime,
mtime, ctime) so generic code using these fields works correcty. If a hard
link is created in overlayfs separate inodes are allocated for each link.
If chmod/chown/etc. is performed on one of the links then the inode
belonging to the other ones won't be updated.
This patch attempts to fix this by sharing inodes for hard links.
Use inode hash (with real inode pointer as a key) to make sure overlay
inodes are shared for hard links on upper. Hard links on lower are still
split (which is not user observable until the copy-up happens, see
Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt under "Non-standard behavior").
The inode is only inserted in the hash if it is non-directoy and upper.

To get from overlay inode to real inode we currently use 'struct
ovl_entry', which has lifetime connected to overlay dentry. This is okay,
since each overlay dentry had a new overlay inode allocated.
Following patch will break that assumption, so need to leave out ovl_entry.
This patch stores the real inode directly in i_private, with the lowest bit
used to indicate whether the inode is upper or lower.
Lifetime rules remain, using ovl_inode_real() must only be done while
caller holds ref on overlay dentry (and hence on real dentry), or within
RCU protected regions.

The fact that we always do permission checking on the overlay inode and
clear MAY_WRITE for checking access to the lower inode allows cruft to be
removed from ovl_permission().

vfs_getattr() but that's only needed if the underlying filesystem can
change (which is not allowed). We may later introduce a "paranoia_mode"
that verifies that mode/uid/gid are not changed.
2) splitting out the IS_RDONLY() check from inode_permission() also becomes
unnecessary once we remove the MAY_WRITE from the lower inode check.

Now we have two levels of checks in ovl_permission(). overlay inode
is checked with the creds of task while underlying inode is checked
with the creds of mounter.
Looks like mounter does not have to have WRITE access to files on lower/.
So remove the MAY_WRITE from access mask for checks on underlying
lower inode.
This means task should still have the MAY_WRITE permission on lower
inode and mounter is not required to have MAY_WRITE.
It also solves the problem of read only NFS mounts being used as lower.
If __inode_permission(lower_inode, MAY_WRITE) is called on read only
NFS, it fails. By resetting MAY_WRITE, check succeeds and case of
read only NFS shold work with overlay without having to specify any
special mount options (default permission).

Given we are now doing checks both on overlay inode as well underlying
inode, we should be able to do checks and operations on underlying file
system using mounter's context.
So modify all operations to do checks/operations on underlying dentry/inode

Right now ovl_permission() calls __inode_permission(realinode), to do
permission checks on real inode and no checks are done on overlay inode.
Modify it to do checks both on overlay inode as well as underlying inode.
Checks on overlay inode will be done with the creds of calling task while
checks on underlying inode will be done with the creds of mounter.

Now we are planning to do DAC permission checks on overlay inode
itself. And to make it work, we will need to make sure we can get acls from

The hash salting changes meant that we can no longer reuse the hash in the
overlay dentry to look up the underlying dentry.
Instead of lookup_hash(), use lookup_one_len_unlocked() and swith to
mounter's creds (like we do for all other operations later in the series).
Now the lookup_hash() export introduced in 4.6 by 3c9fe8cdff ("vfs: add
lookup_hash() helper") is unused and can possibly be removed; its
usefulness negated by the hash salting and the idea that mounter's creds
should be used on operations on underlying filesystems.

Currently, NR_KERNEL_STACK tracks the number of kernel stacks in a zone.
This only makes sense if each kernel stack exists entirely in one zone,
and allowing vmapped stacks could break this assumption.
Since frv has THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, we need to track kernel stack
allocations in a unit that divides both THREAD_SIZE and PAGE_SIZE on all
architectures. Keep it simple and use KiB.

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages

confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

oom_score_adj is shared for the thread groups (via struct signal) but this
is not sufficient to cover processes sharing mm (CLONE_VM without
CLONE_SIGHAND) and so we can easily end up in a situation when some
processes update their oom_score_adj and confuse the oom killer. In the
worst case some of those processes might hide from the oom killer
altogether via OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN while others are eligible. OOM killer
would then pick up those eligible but won't be allowed to kill others
sharing the same mm so the mm wouldn't release the mm and so the memory.
It would be ideal to have the oom_score_adj per mm_struct because that is
the natural entity OOM killer considers. But this will not work because
some programs are doing
vfork()
set_oom_adj()
exec()
We can achieve the same though. oom_score_adj write handler can set the
oom_score_adj for all processes sharing the same mm if the task is not in
the middle of vfork. As a result all the processes will share the same
oom_score_adj. The current implementation is rather pessimistic and
checks all the existing processes by default if there is more than 1
holder of the mm but we do not have any reliable way to check for external
users yet.

Currently we have two proc interfaces to set oom_score_adj. The legacy
/proc/<pid>/oom_adj and /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj which both have their
specific handlers. Big part of the logic is duplicated so extract the
common code into __set_oom_adj helper. Legacy knob still expects some
details slightly different so make sure those are handled same way - e.g.
the legacy mode ignores oom_score_adj_min and it warns about the usage.

Oleg has pointed out that can simplify both oom_adj_{read,write} and
oom_score_adj_{read,write} even further and drop the sighand lock. The
main purpose of the lock was to protect p->signal from going away but this
will not happen since ea6d290ca3 ("signals: make task_struct->signal
immutable/refcountable").
The other role of the lock was to synchronize different writers,
especially those with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. Introduce a mutex for this
purpose. Later patches will need this lock anyway.

Series "Handle oom bypass more gracefully", V5
The following 10 patches should put some order to very rare cases of mm
shared between processes and make the paths which bypass the oom killer
oom reapable and therefore much more reliable finally. Even though mm
shared outside of thread group is rare (either vforked tasks for a short
period, use_mm by kernel threads or exotic thread model of
clone(CLONE_VM) without CLONE_SIGHAND) it is better to cover them. Not
only it makes the current oom killer logic quite hard to follow and
reason about it can lead to weird corner cases. E.g. it is possible to
select an oom victim which shares the mm with unkillable process or
bypass the oom killer even when other processes sharing the mm are still
alive and other weird cases.
Patch 1 drops bogus task_lock and mm check from oom_{score_}adj_write.
This can be considered a bug fix with a low impact as nobody has noticed
for years.
Patch 2 drops sighand lock because it is not needed anymore as pointed
by Oleg.
Patch 3 is a clean up of oom_score_adj handling and a preparatory work
for later patches.
Patch 4 enforces oom_adj_score to be consistent between processes
sharing the mm to behave consistently with the regular thread groups.
This can be considered a user visible behavior change because one thread
group updating oom_score_adj will affect others which share the same mm
via clone(CLONE_VM). I argue that this should be acceptable because we
already have the same behavior for threads in the same thread group and
sharing the mm without signal struct is just a different model of
threading. This is probably the most controversial part of the series,
I would like to find some consensus here. There were some suggestions
to hook some counter/oom_score_adj into the mm_struct but I feel that
this is not necessary right now and we can rely on proc handler +
oom_kill_process to DTRT. I can be convinced otherwise but I strongly
think that whatever we do the userspace has to have a way to see the
current oom priority as consistently as possible.
Patch 5 makes sure that no vforked task is selected if it is sharing the
mm with oom unkillable task.
Patch 6 ensures that all user tasks sharing the mm are killed which in
turn makes sure that all oom victims are oom reapable.
Patch 7 guarantees that task_will_free_mem will always imply reapable
bypass of the oom killer.
Patch 8 is new in this version and it addresses an issue pointed out by
0-day OOM report where an oom victim was reaped several times.
Patch 9 puts an upper bound on how many times oom_reaper tries to reap a
task and hides it from the oom killer to move on when no progress can be
made. This will give an upper bound to how long an oom_reapable task
can block the oom killer from selecting another victim if the oom_reaper
is not able to reap the victim.
Patch 10 tries to plug the (hopefully) last hole when we can still lock
up when the oom victim is shared with oom unkillable tasks (kthreads and
global init). We just try to be best effort in that case and rather
fallback to kill something else than risk a lockup.
This patch (of 10):
Both oom_adj_write and oom_score_adj_write are using task_lock, check for
task->mm and fail if it is NULL. This is not needed because the
oom_score_adj is per signal struct so we do not need mm at all. The code
has been introduced by 3d5992d2ac ("oom: add per-mm oom disable count")
but we do not do per-mm oom disable since c9f01245b6 ("oom: remove
oom_disable_count").
The task->mm check is even not correct because the current thread might
have exited but the thread group might be still alive - e.g. thread group
leader would lead that echo $VAL > /proc/pid/oom_score_adj would always
fail with EINVAL while /proc/pid/task/$other_tid/oom_score_adj would
succeed. This is unexpected at best.
Remove the lock along with the check to fix the unexpected behavior and
also because there is not real need for the lock in the first place.
