After switching to non-RCU mode, we want nd->depth to match the number
of entries in nd->stack[] that need eventual path_put().
legitimize_links() takes care of that on failures; unfortunately,
failure exits added for LOOKUP_CACHED do not.
We could add the logics for that into those failure exits, both in
try_to_unlazy() and in try_to_unlazy_next(), but since both checks
are immediately followed by legitimize_links() and there's no calls
of legitimize_links() other than those two... It's easier to
move the check (and required handling of nd->depth on failure) into
legitimize_links() itself.
[caught by Jens: ... and since we are zeroing ->depth here, we need
to do drop_links() first]

io_uring always punts opens to async context, since there's no control
over whether the lookup blocks or not. Add LOOKUP_CACHED to support
just doing the fast RCU based lookups, which we know will not block. If
we can do a cached path resolution of the filename, then we don't have
to always punt lookups for a worker.
During path resolution, we always do LOOKUP_RCU first. If that fails and
we terminate LOOKUP_RCU, then fail a LOOKUP_CACHED attempt as well.

Most callers check for non-zero return, and assume it's -ECHILD (which
it always will be). One caller uses the actual error return. Clean this
up and make it fully consistent, by having unlazy_walk() return a bool
instead. Rename it to try_to_unlazy() and return true on success, and
failure on error. That's easier to read.

Running my yearly branch profiling code, it detected a 100% wrong branch
condition in name.c for lookup_fast(). The code in question has:
status = d_revalidate(dentry, nd->flags);
if (likely(status > 0))
return dentry;
if (unlazy_child(nd, dentry, seq))
return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD);
if (unlikely(status == -ECHILD))
/* we'd been told to redo it in non-rcu mode */
status = d_revalidate(dentry, nd->flags);
If the status of the d_revalidate() is greater than zero, then the function
finishes. Otherwise, if it is an "unlazy_child" it returns with -ECHILD.
After the above two checks, the status is compared to -ECHILD, as that is
what is returned if the original d_revalidate() needed to be done in a
non-rcu mode.
Especially this path is called in a condition of:
if (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU) {
And most of the d_revalidate() functions have:
if (flags & LOOKUP_RCU)
return -ECHILD;
It appears that that is the only case that this if statement is triggered
on two of my machines, running in production.
As it is dependent on what filesystem mix is configured in the running
kernel, simply remove the unlikely() from the if statement.

For mounts that have the new "nosymfollow" option, don't follow symlinks
when resolving paths. The new option is similar in spirit to the
existing "nodev", "noexec", and "nosuid" options, as well as to the
LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS resolve flag in the openat2(2) syscall. Various BSD
variants have been supporting the "nosymfollow" mount option for a long
time with equivalent implementations.
Note that symlinks may still be created on file systems mounted with
the "nosymfollow" option present. readlink() remains functional, so
user space code that is aware of symlinks can still choose to follow
them explicitly.
Setting the "nosymfollow" mount option helps prevent privileged
writers from modifying files unintentionally in case there is an
unexpected link along the accessed path. The "nosymfollow" option is
thus useful as a defensive measure for systems that need to deal with
untrusted file systems in privileged contexts.

The execve(2)/uselib(2) syscalls have always rejected non-regular files.
Recently, it was noticed that a deadlock was introduced when trying to
execute pipes, as the S_ISREG() test was happening too late. This was
fixed in commit 73601ea5b7 ("fs/open.c: allow opening only regular files
during execve()"), but it was added after inode_permission() had already
run, which meant LSMs could see bogus attempts to execute non-regular
files.
Move the test into the other inode type checks (which already look for
other pathological conditions[1]). Since there is no need to use
FMODE_EXEC while we still have access to "acc_mode", also switch the test
to MAY_EXEC.
Also include a comment with the redundant S_ISREG() checks at the end of
execve(2)/uselib(2) to note that they are present to avoid any mistakes.

posix_acl_permission() does not care about MAY_NOT_BLOCK, and in fact
the permission logic internally must not check that bit (it's only for
upper layers to decide whether they can block to do IO to look up the
acl information or not).
But the way the code was written, it _looked_ like it cared, since the
function explicitly did not mask that bit off.
But it has exactly two callers: one for when that bit is set, which
first clears the bit before calling posix_acl_permission(), and the
other call site when that bit was clear.
So stop the silly games "saving" the MAY_NOT_BLOCK bit that must not be
used for the actual permission test, and that currently is pointlessly
cleared by the callers when the function itself should just not care.

Rasmus Villemoes points out that the 'in_group_p()' tests can be a
noticeable expense, and often completely unnecessary. A common
situation is that the 'group' bits are the same as the 'other' bits
wrt the permissions we want to test.
So rewrite 'acl_permission_check()' to not bother checking for group
ownership when the permission check doesn't care.
For example, if we're asking for read permissions, and both 'group' and
'other' allow reading, there's really no reason to check if we're part
of the group or not: either way, we'll allow it.
Rasmus says:
"On a bog-standard Ubuntu 20.04 install, a workload consisting of
compiling lots of userspace programs (i.e., calling lots of
short-lived programs that all need to get their shared libs mapped in,
and the compilers poking around looking for system headers - lots of
/usr/lib, /usr/bin, /usr/include/ accesses) puts in_group_p around
0.1% according to perf top.
System-installed files are almost always 0755 (directories and
binaries) or 0644, so in most cases, we can avoid the binary search
and the cost of pulling the cred->groups array and in_group_p() .text
into the cpu cache"

We fall back to lookup+create (instead of atomic_open) in several cases:
1) we don't have write access to filesystem and O_TRUNC is
present in the flags. It's not something we want ->atomic_open() to
see - it just might go ahead and truncate the file. However, we can
pass it the flags sans O_TRUNC - eventually do_open() will call
handle_truncate() anyway.
2) we have O_CREAT | O_EXCL and we can't write to parent.
That's going to be an error, of course, but we want to know _which_
error should that be - might be EEXIST (if file exists), might be
EACCES or EROFS. Simply stripping O_CREAT (and checking if we see
ENOENT) would suffice, if not for O_EXCL. However, we used to have
->atomic_open() fully responsible for rejecting O_CREAT | O_EXCL
on existing file and just stripping O_CREAT would've disarmed
those checks. With nothing downstream to catch the problem -
FMODE_OPENED used to be "don't bother with EEXIST checks,
->atomic_open() has done those". Now EEXIST checks downstream
are skipped only if FMODE_CREATED is set - FMODE_OPENED alone
is not enough. That has eliminated the need to fall back onto
lookup+create path in this case.
3) O_WRONLY or O_RDWR when we have no write access to
filesystem, with nothing else objectionable. Fallback is
(and had always been) pointless.
IOW, we don't really need that fallback; all we need in such
cases is to trim O_TRUNC and O_CREAT properly.

Currently path_openat() has "EEXIST on O_EXCL|O_CREAT" checks done on one
of the ways out of open_last_lookups(). There are 4 cases:
1) the last component is . or ..; check is not done.
2) we had FMODE_OPENED or FMODE_CREATED set while in lookup_open();
check is not done.
3) symlink to be traversed is found; check is not done (nor
should it be)
4) everything else: check done (before complete_walk(), even).
In case (1) O_EXCL|O_CREAT ends up failing with -EISDIR - that's
open("/tmp/.", O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600)
Note that in the same conditions
open("/tmp", O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600)
would have yielded EEXIST. Either error is allowed, switching to -EEXIST
in these cases would've been more consistent.
Case (2) is more subtle; first of all, if we have FMODE_CREATED set, the
object hadn't existed prior to the call. The check should not be done in
such a case. The rest is problematic, though - we have
FMODE_OPENED set (i.e. it went through ->atomic_open() and got
successfully opened there)
FMODE_CREATED is *NOT* set
O_CREAT and O_EXCL are both set.
Any such case is a bug - either we failed to set FMODE_CREATED when we
had, in fact, created an object (no such instances in the tree) or
we have opened a pre-existing file despite having had both O_CREAT and
O_EXCL passed. One of those was, in fact caught (and fixed) while
sorting out this mess (gfs2 on cold dcache). And in such situations
we should fail with EEXIST.
Note that for (1) and (4) FMODE_CREATED is not set - for (1) there's nothing
in handle_dots() to set it, for (4) we'd explicitly checked that.
And (1), (2) and (4) are exactly the cases when we leave the loop in
the caller, with do_open() called immediately after that loop. IOW, we
can move the check over there, and make it
If we have O_CREAT|O_EXCL and after successful pathname resolution
FMODE_CREATED is *not* set, we must have run into a preexisting file and
should fail with EEXIST.

pick_link() needs to push onto stack; we start with using two-element
array embedded into struct nameidata and the first time we need
more than that we switch to separately allocated array.
Allocation can fail, of course, and handling of that would be simple
enough - we need to drop 'link' and bugger off. However, the things
get more complicated in RCU mode. There we must do GFP_ATOMIC
allocation. If that fails, we try to switch to non-RCU mode and
repeat the allocation.
To switch to non-RCU mode we need to grab references to 'link' and
to everything in nameidata. The latter done by unlazy_walk();
the former - legitimize_path(). 'link' must go first - after
unlazy_walk() we are out of RCU-critical period and it's too
late to call legitimize_path() since the references in link->mnt
and link->dentry might be pointing to freed and reused memory.
So we do legitimize_path(), then unlazy_walk(). And that's where
it gets too subtle: what to do if the former fails? We MUST
do path_put(link) to avoid leaks. And we can't do that under
rcu_read_lock(). Solution in mainline was to empty then nameidata
manually, drop out of RCU mode and then do put_path().
In effect, we open-code the things eventual terminate_walk()
would've done on error in RCU mode. That looks badly out of place
and confusing. We could add a comment along the lines of the
explanation above, but... there's a simpler solution. Call
unlazy_walk() even if legitimaze_path() fails. It will take
us out of RCU mode, so we'll be able to do path_put(link).
Yes, it will do unnecessary work - attempt to grab references
on the stuff in nameidata, only to have them dropped as soon
as we return the error to upper layer and get terminate_walk()
called there. So what? We are thoroughly off the fast path
by that point - we had GFP_ATOMIC allocation fail, we had
->d_seq or mount_lock mismatch and we are about to try walking
the same path from scratch in non-RCU mode. Which will need
to do the same allocation, this time with GFP_KERNEL, so it will
be able to apply memory pressure for blocking stuff.
Compared to that the cost of several lockref_get_not_dead()
is noise. And the logics become much easier to understand
that way.

step_into() tries to avoid grabbing and dropping mount references
on the steps that do not involve crossing mountpoints (which is
obviously the majority of cases). So it uses a local struct path
with unusual refcounting rules - path.mnt is pinned if and only if
it's not equal to nd->path.mnt.
We used to have similar beasts all over the place and we had quite
a few bugs crop up in their handling - it's easy to get confused
when changing e.g. cleanup on failure exits (or adding a new check,
etc.)
Now that's mostly gone - the step_into() instance (which is what
we need them for) is the only one left. It is exposed to mount
traversal and it's (shortly) seen by pick_link(). Since pick_link()
needs to store it in link stack, where the normal rules apply,
it has to make sure that mount is pinned regardless of nd->path.mnt
value. That's done on all calls of pick_link() and very early
in those. Let's do that in the caller (step_into()) instead -
that way the fewer places need to be aware of such struct path
instances.

The loops in follow_dotdot{_rcu()} are doing the same thing:
we have a mount and we want to find out how far up the chain
of mounts do we need to go.
We follow the chain of mount until we find one that is not
directly overmounting the root of another mount. If such
a mount is found, we want the location it's mounted upon.
If we run out of chain (i.e. get to a mount that is not
mounted on anything else) or run into process' root, we
report failure.
On success, we want (in RCU case) d_seq of resulting location
sampled or (in non-RCU case) references to that location
acquired.

switches follow_dotdot_rcu() to it; non-RCU case will be

Change nd->path only after the loop is done and only in case we hadn't
ended up finding ourselves in root. Same for NO_XDEV check. Don't
recheck mount_lock on each step either.
That separates the "check how far back do we need to go through the
mount stack" logics from the rest of .. traversal.
Note that the sequence for d_seq/d_inode here is
* sample mount_lock seqcount
...
* sample d_seq
* fetch d_inode
* verify mount_lock seqcount
The last step makes sure that d_inode value we'd got matches d_seq -
it dentry is guaranteed to have been a mountpoint through the
entire thing, so its d_inode must have been stable.

The logics in both of them is the same:
while true
if in process' root // uncommon
break
if *not* in mount root // normal case
find the parent
return
if at absolute root // very uncommon
break
move to underlying mountpoint
report that we are in root
Pull the common path out of the loop:
if in process' root // uncommon
goto in_root
if unlikely(in mount root)
while true
if at absolute root
goto in_root
move to underlying mountpoint
if in process' root
goto in_root
if in mount root
break;
find the parent // we are not in mount root
return
in_root:
report that we are in root
The reason for that transformation is that we get to keep the
common path straight *and* get a separate block for "move
through underlying mountpoints", which will allow to sanitize
NO_XDEV handling there. What's more, the pared-down loops
will be easier to deal with - in particular, non-RCU case
has no need to grab mount_lock and rewriting it to the
form that wouldn't do that is a non-trivial change. Better
do that with less stuff getting in the way...

lift step_into() into handle_dots() (where they merge with each other);
have follow_... return dentry and pass inode/seq to the caller.

Right now the tail ends of follow_dotdot{,_rcu}() are pretty
much the open-coded analogues of step_into(). The differences:
* the lack of proper LOOKUP_NO_XDEV handling in non-RCU case
(arguably a bug)
* the lack of ->d_manage() handling (again, arguably a bug)
Adjust the calling conventions so that on the next step with could
just switch those functions to returning step_into().
