There's a mistake in commit 2be7828c9f ("get rid of autofs_getpath()")
that affects kernels from v5.13.0, basically missed because of me not
fully testing the change for Al.
The problem is that the hash calculation for the wait name qstr hasn't
been updated to account for the change to use dentry_path_raw(). This
prevents the correct matching an existing wait resulting in multiple
notifications being sent to the daemon for the same mount which must
not occur.
The problem wasn't discovered earlier because it only occurs when
multiple processes trigger a request for the same mount concurrently
so it only shows up in more aggressive testing.

allow wq->name.name to point not at the beginning of the object containing
the string, with wq->offset telling how far into it we are. Then we can
bloody well just use dentry_path_raw() instead of autofs_getpath() -
the only real difference is that dentry_path_raw() puts the result into
the end of buffer and returns where it starts.

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.

autofs got broken in some configurations by commit 13c164b1a1
("autofs: switch to kernel_write") because there is now an extra LSM
permission check done by security_file_permission() in rw_verify_area().
autofs is one if the few places that really does want the much more
limited __kernel_write(), because the write is an internal kernel one
that shouldn't do any user permission checks (it also doesn't need the
file_start_write/file_end_write logic, since it's just a pipe).
There are a couple of other cases like that - accounting, core dumping,
and splice - but autofs stands out because it can be built as a module.
As a result, we need to export this internal __kernel_write() function
again.
We really don't want any other module to use this, but we don't have a
"EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_AUTOFS_ONLY()". But we can mark it GPL-only to at
least approximate that "internal use only" for licensing.
While in this area, make autofs pass in NULL for the file position
pointer, since it's always a pipe, and we now use a NULL file pointer
for streaming file descriptors (see file_ppos() and commit 438ab720c6:
"vfs: pass ppos=NULL to .read()/.write() of FMODE_STREAM files")
This effectively reverts commits 9db9775224 ("fs: unexport
__kernel_write") and 13c164b1a1 ("autofs: switch to kernel_write").

"autofs misuses checks for ->d_subdirs emptiness; the cursors are in
the same lists, resulting in false negatives. It's not needed anyway,
since autofs maintains counter in struct autofs_info, containing 0 for
removed ones, 1 for live symlinks and 1 + number of children for live
directories, which is precisely what we need for those checks.
This series switches to use of that counter and untangles the crap
around its uses (it needs not be atomic and there's a bunch of
completely pointless "defensive" checks).
This fell out of dcache_readdir work; the main point is to get rid of
->d_subdirs abuses in there. I've more followup cleanups, but I hadn't
run those by Ian yet, so they can go next cycle"

All writers are serialized on inode->i_rwsem. So are the readers
outside of expire.c. And the readers in expire.c are in the
code that really doesn't care about narrow races - it's looking
for expiry candidates and its callers have to cope with the
possibility of a good candidate becoming busy right under them.
No point bothering with atomic operations - just use int and
mark the non-serialized readers with READ_ONCE().

* get_next_positive_subdir() loses the redundant check for

a no-op for a good reason...
* get_next_positive_dentry() switched to the same helper. Logics:
look for positive child in prev; if not found, look for the
positive child of prev's parent following prev, etc. That way
we are guaranteed that we are only moving rootwards through the
ancestors of prev, which is pinned and thus not going anywhere.
Since ->d_parent on autofs never changes, the same goes for
the entire chain of ancestors and we don't need overlapping
->d_lock on them. Which avoids the trylock loops, in addition
to simplifying the logics in there...

autofs does not expect the pipe it is given to have O_NONBLOCK set -
specifically if __kernel_write() in autofs_write() returns -EAGAIN, this
is treated as a fatal error and the pipe is closed.
For safety autofs should, therefore, clear the O_NONBLOCK flag.
Releases of systemd prior to 8th February 2019 used
pipe2(p, O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC)
and thus (inadvertently) set this flag.

Add an autofs file system mount option that can be used to provide a
generic indicator to applications that the mount entry should be ignored
when displaying mount information.
In other OSes that provide autofs and that provide a mount list to user
space based on the kernel mount list a no-op mount option ("ignore" is
the one use on the most common OS) is allowed so that autofs file system
users can optionally use it.
The idea is that it be used by user space programs to exclude autofs
mounts from consideration when reading the mounts list.
Prior to the change to link /etc/mtab to /proc/self/mounts all I needed
to do to achieve this was to use mount(2) and not update the mtab but
now that no longer works.
I know the symlinking happened a long time ago and I considered doing
this then but, at the time I couldn't remember the commonly used option
name and thought persuading the various utility maintainers would be too
hard.
But now I have a RHEL request to do this for compatibility for a widely
used product so I want to go ahead with it and try and enlist the help
of some utility package maintainers.
Clearly, without the option nothing can be done so it's at least a
start.

Commit 092a53452b ("autofs: take more care to not update last_used on
path walk") helped to (partially) resolve a problem where automounts
were not expiring due to aggressive accesses from user space.
This patch was later reverted because, for very large environments, it
meant more mount requests from clients and when there are a lot of
clients this caused a fairly significant increase in server load.
But there is a need for both types of expire check, depending on use
case, so add a mount option to allow for strict update of last use of
autofs dentrys (which just means not updating the last use on path walk
access).

Al Viro made some suggestions to improve the implementation of commit
0633da48f0 ("fix autofs_sbi() does not check super block type").
The check is unnecessary in all cases except for ioctl usage so placing
the check in the super block accessor function adds a small overhead to
the common case where it isn't needed.
So it's sufficient to do this in the ioctl code only.
Also the check in the ioctl code is needlessly complex.

The userspace automount(8) daemon is meant to perform a forced expire when
sent a SIGUSR2.
But since the expiration is routed through the kernel and the kernel
doesn't send an expire request if the mount is busy this hasn't worked at
least since autofs version 5.
Add an AUTOFS_EXP_FORCED flag to allow implemention of the feature and
bump the protocol version so user space can check if it's implemented if
needed.

Depending on how it is configured the autofs user space daemon can leave
in use mounts mounted at exit and re-connect to them at start up. But for
this to work best the state of the autofs file system needs to be left
intact over the restart.
Also, at system shutdown, mounts in an autofs file system might be
umounted exposing a mount point trigger for which subsequent access can
lead to a hang. So recent versions of automount(8) now does its best to
set autofs file system mounts catatonic at shutdown.
When autofs file system mounts are catatonic it's currently possible to
create and remove directories and symlinks which can be a problem at
restart, as described above.
So return EACCES in the directory, symlink and unlink methods if the
autofs file system is catatonic.

This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.
This set of changes is split into several parts:
- The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
something only for very special cases. The part starts using
PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
of processes or just a single process.
- With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
appear to be received after the fork completes"

It turns out that systemd has a bug: it wants to load the autofs module
early because of some initialization ordering with udev, and it doesn't
do that correctly. Everywhere else it does the proper "look up module
name" that does the proper alias resolution, but in that early code, it
just uses a hardcoded "autofs4" for the module name.
The result of that is that as of commit a2225d931f ("autofs: remove
left-over autofs4 stubs"), you get
systemd[1]: Failed to insert module 'autofs4': No such file or directory
in the system logs, and a lack of module loading. All this despite the
fact that we had very clearly marked 'autofs4' as an alias for this
module.
What's so ridiculous about this is that literally everything else does
the module alias handling correctly, including really old versions of
systemd (that just used 'modprobe' to do this), and even all the other
systemd module loading code.
Only that special systemd early module load code is broken, hardcoding
the module names for not just 'autofs4', but also "ipv6", "unix",
"ip_tables" and "virtio_rng". Very annoying.
Instead of creating an _additional_ separate compatibility 'autofs4'
module, just rely on the fact that everybody else gets this right, and
just call the module 'autofs4' for compatibility reasons, with 'autofs'
as the alias name.
That will allow the systemd people to fix their bugs, adding the proper
alias handling, and maybe even fix the name of the module to be just
"autofs" (so that they can _test_ the alias handling). And eventually,
we can revert this silly compatibility hack.

There's no need to retain the fs/autofs4 directory for backward
compatibility.
Adding an AUTOFS4_FS fragment to the autofs Kconfig and a module alias
for autofs4 is sufficient for almost all cases. Not keeping fs/autofs4
remnants will prevent "insmod <path>/autofs4/autofs4.ko" from working
but this shouldn't be used in automation scripts rather than
modprobe(8).
There were some comments about things to look out for with the module
rename in the fs/autofs4/Kconfig that is removed by this patch, see the
commit patch if you are interested.
One potential problem with this change is that when the
fs/autofs/Kconfig fragment for AUTOFS4_FS is removed any AUTOFS4_FS
entries will be removed from the kernel config, resulting in no autofs
file system being built if there is no AUTOFS_FS entry also.
This would have also happened if the fs/autofs4 remnants had remained
and is most likely to be a problem with automated builds.
Please check your build configurations before the removal which will
occur after the next couple of kernel releases.

We don't set "*name" so it's slightly nicer to just pass "name" instead
of "&name".
