Eric W. Biederman 45634cd8cb userns: Support autofs4 interacing with multiple user namespaces
Use kuid_t and kgid_t in struct autofs_info and struct autofs_wait_queue.

When creating directories and symlinks default the uid and gid of
the mount requester to the global root uid and gid.  autofs4_wait
will update these fields when a mount is requested.

When generating autofsv5 packets report the uid and gid of the mount
requestor in user namespace of the process that opened the pipe,
reporting unmapped uids and gids as overflowuid and overflowgid.

In autofs_dev_ioctl_requester return the uid and gid of the last mount
requester converted into the calling processes user namespace.  When the
uid or gid don't map return overflowuid and overflowgid as appropriate,
allowing failure to find a mount requester to be distinguished from
failure to map a mount requester.

The uid and gid mount options specifying the user and group of the
root autofs inode are converted into kuid and kgid as they are parsed
defaulting to the current uid and current gid of the process that
mounts autofs.

Mounting of autofs for the present remains confined to processes in
the initial user namespace.

Linus Torvalds 64f371bc31 autofs: make the autofsv5 packet file descriptor use a packetized pipe
The autofs packet size has had a very unfortunate size problem on x86:
because the alignment of 'u64' differs in 32-bit and 64-bit modes, and
because the packet data was not 8-byte aligned, the size of the autofsv5
packet structure differed between 32-bit and 64-bit modes despite
looking otherwise identical (300 vs 304 bytes respectively).

We first fixed that up by making the 64-bit compat mode know about this
problem in commit a32744d4ab ("autofs: work around unhappy compat
problem on x86-64"), and that made a 32-bit 'systemd' work happily on a
64-bit kernel because everything then worked the same way as on a 32-bit
kernel.

But it turned out that 'automount' had actually known and worked around
this problem in user space, so fixing the kernel to do the proper 32-bit
compatibility handling actually *broke* 32-bit automount on a 64-bit
kernel, because it knew that the packet sizes were wrong and expected
those incorrect sizes.

As a result, we ended up reverting that compatibility mode fix, and
thus breaking systemd again, in commit fcbf94b9de.

With both automount and systemd doing a single read() system call, and
verifying that they get *exactly* the size they expect but using
different sizes, it seemed that fixing one of them inevitably seemed to
break the other.  At one point, a patch I seriously considered applying
from Michael Tokarev did a "strcmp()" to see if it was automount that
was doing the operation.  Ugly, ugly.

However, a prettier solution exists now thanks to the packetized pipe
mode.  By marking the communication pipe as being packetized (by simply
setting the O_DIRECT flag), we can always just write the bigger packet
size, and if user-space does a smaller read, it will just get that
partial end result and the extra alignment padding will simply be thrown
away.

This makes both automount and systemd happy, since they now get the size
they asked for, and the kernel side of autofs simply no longer needs to
care - it could pad out the packet arbitrarily.

Of course, if there is some *other* user of autofs (please, please,
please tell me it ain't so - and we haven't heard of any) that tries to
read the packets with multiple writes, that other user will now be
broken - the whole point of the packetized mode is that one system call
gets exactly one packet, and you cannot read a packet in pieces.

Linus Torvalds fcbf94b9de Revert "autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64"
This reverts commit a32744d4ab.

While that commit was technically the right thing to do, and made the
x86-64 compat mode work identically to native 32-bit mode (and thus
fixing the problem with a 32-bit systemd install on a 64-bit kernel), it
turns out that the automount binaries had workarounds for this compat
problem.

Now, the workarounds are disgusting: doing an "uname()" to find out the
architecture of the kernel, and then comparing it for the 64-bit cases
and fixing up the size of the read() in automount for those.  And they
were confused: it's not actually a generic 64-bit issue at all, it's
very much tied to just x86-64, which has different alignment for an
'u64' in 64-bit mode than in 32-bit mode.

But the end result is that fixing the compat layer actually breaks the
case of a 32-bit automount on a x86-64 kernel.

There are various approaches to fix this (including just doing a
"strcmp()" on current->comm and comparing it to "automount"), but I
think that I will do the one that teaches pipes about a special "packet
mode", which will allow user space to not have to care too deeply about
the padding at the end of the autofs packet.

That change will make the compat workaround unnecessary, so let's revert
it first, and get automount working again in compat mode.  The
packetized pipes will then fix autofs for systemd.

Ian Kent a32744d4ab autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64
When the autofs protocol version 5 packet type was added in commit
5c0a32fc2c ("autofs4: add new packet type for v5 communications"), it
obvously tried quite hard to be word-size agnostic, and uses explicitly
sized fields that are all correctly aligned.

However, with the final "char name[NAME_MAX+1]" array at the end, the
actual size of the structure ends up being not very well defined:
because the struct isn't marked 'packed', doing a "sizeof()" on it will
align the size of the struct up to the biggest alignment of the members
it has.

And despite all the members being the same, the alignment of them is
different: a "__u64" has 4-byte alignment on x86-32, but native 8-byte
alignment on x86-64.  And while 'NAME_MAX+1' ends up being a nice round
number (256), the name[] array starts out a 4-byte aligned.

End result: the "packed" size of the structure is 300 bytes: 4-byte, but
not 8-byte aligned.

As a result, despite all the fields being in the same place on all
architectures, sizeof() will round up that size to 304 bytes on
architectures that have 8-byte alignment for u64.

Note that this is *not* a problem for 32-bit compat mode on POWER, since
there __u64 is 8-byte aligned even in 32-bit mode.  But on x86, 32-bit
and 64-bit alignment is different for 64-bit entities, and as a result
the structure that has exactly the same layout has different sizes.

So on x86-64, but no other architecture, we will just subtract 4 from
the size of the structure when running in a compat task.  That way we
will write the properly sized packet that user mode expects.

Not pretty.  Sadly, this very subtle, and unnecessary, size difference
has been encoded in user space that wants to read packets of *exactly*
the right size, and will refuse to touch anything else.

Ian Kent b5b801779d autofs4: Add d_manage() dentry operation
This patch required a previous patch to add the ->d_automount()
dentry operation.

Add a function to use the newly defined ->d_manage() dentry operation
for blocking during mount and expire.

Whether the VFS calls the dentry operations d_automount() and d_manage()
is controled by the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT and DMANAGED_TRANSIT flags. autofs
uses the d_automount() operation to callback to user space to request
mount operations and the d_manage() operation to block walks into mounts
that are under construction or destruction.

In order to prevent these functions from being called unnecessarily the
DMANAGED_* flags are cleared for cases which would cause this. In the
common case the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT and DMANAGED_TRANSIT flags are both
set for dentrys waiting to be mounted. The DMANAGED_TRANSIT flag is
cleared upon successful mount request completion and set during expire
runs, both during the dentry expire check, and if selected for expire,
is left set until a subsequent successful mount request completes.

The exception to this is the so-called rootless multi-mount which has
no actual mount at its base. In this case the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT flag
is cleared upon successful mount request completion as well and set
again after a successful expire.

- previously, an offset mount had it's type set to

  re-implementation needs to be able distinguish all three types.
  So this was changed to make the type setting explicit.

- a type AUTOFS_TYPE_ANY was added for use by the re-implementation
  when checking if a given path is a mountpoint. It's not really a
  type as we use this to ask if a given path is a mountpoint in the
  autofs_dev_ioctl_ismountpoint() function.

- functions to set and test the autofs mount types have been added to
  improve readability and make the type usage explicit.

- the mount type is used from user space for the mount control
  re-implementtion so, for consistency, all the definitions have
  been moved to the user space include file include/linux/auto_fs4.h.

David Howells 0eb790e3a2 CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the autofs4 filesystem
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id().  In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

Steven Whitehouse a447c09324 vfs: Use const for kernel parser table
This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser
tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in
all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst
exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble.

This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm
since then.

Ian Kent 2576737873 autofs4: use look aside list for lookups
A while ago a patch to resolve a deadlock during directory creation was
merged.  This delayed the hashing of lookup dentrys until the ->mkdir()
(or ->symlink()) operation completed to ensure we always went through
->lookup() instead of also having processes go through ->revalidate() so
our VFS locking remained consistent.

Now we are seeing a couple of side affects of that change in situations
with heavy mount activity.

Two cases have been identified:

1) When a mount request is triggered, due to the delayed hashing, the
   directory created by user space for the mount point doesn't have the
   DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag set.  In the case of an autofs multi-mount
   where a tree of mount point directories are created this can lead to
   the path walk continuing rather than the dentry being sent to the wait
   queue to wait for request completion.  This is because, if the pending
   flag isn't set, the criteria for deciding this is a mount in progress
   fails to hold, namely that the dentry is not a mount point and has no
   subdirectories.

2) A mount request dentry is initially created negative and unhashed.
   It remains this way until the ->mkdir() callback completes.  Since it
   is unhashed a fresh dentry is used when the user space mount request
   creates the mount point directory.  This leaves the original dentry
   negative and unhashed.  But revalidate has no way to tell the VFS that
   the dentry has changed, other than to force another ->lookup() by
   returning false, which is at best wastefull and at worst not possible.
   This results in an -ENOENT return from the original path walk when in
   fact the mount succeeded.

To resolve this we need to ensure that the same dentry is used in all
calls to ->lookup() during the course of a mount request.  This patch
achieves that by adding the initial dentry to a look aside list and
removes it at ->mkdir() or ->symlink() completion (or when the dentry is
released), since these are the only create operations autofs4 supports.

Ian Kent 5f6f4f28b6 autofs4: don't make expiring dentry negative
Correct the error of making a positive dentry negative after it has been
instantiated.

The code that makes this error attempts to re-use the dentry from a
concurrent expire and mount to resolve a race and the dentry used for the
lookup must be negative for mounts to trigger in the required cases.  The
fact is that the dentry doesn't need to be re-used because all that is
needed is to preserve the flag that indicates an expire is still
incomplete at the time of the mount request.

This change uses the the dentry to check the flag and wait for the expire
to complete then discards it instead of attempting to re-use it.

Pavel Emelianov a47afb0f9d pid namespaces: round up the API
The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
at the code for a long time.

The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
  represent that fact,
* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
  the common prefix of the same name.

For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

Ian Kent f50b6f8691 [PATCH] autofs4: fix another race between mount and expire
Jeff Moyer has identified a race between mount and expire.

What happens is that during an expire the situation can arise that a directory
is removed and another lookup is done before the expire issues a completion
status to the kernel module.  In this case, since the the lookup gets a new
dentry, it doesn't know that there is an expire in progress and when it posts
its mount request, matches the existing expire request and waits for its
completion.  ENOENT is then returned to user space from lookup (as the dentry
passed in is now unhashed) without having performed the mount request.

The solution used here is to keep track of dentrys in this unhashed state and
reuse them, if possible, in order to preserve the flags.  Additionally, this
infrastructure will provide the framework for the reintroduction of caching of
mount fails removed earlier in development.

Jiri Kosina c949d4eb40 [PATCH] autofs: fix error code path in autofs_fill_sb()
When kernel is compiled with old version of autofs (CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS), and
new (observed at least with 5.x.x) automount deamon is started, kernel
correctly reports incompatible version of kernel and userland daemon, but
then screws things up instead of correct handling of the error:

 autofs: kernel does not match daemon version
 =====================================

 automount/4199 is trying to release lock (&type->s_umount_key) at:
 [<c0163b9e>] get_sb_nodev+0x76/0xa4
 but there are no more locks to release!

 other info that might help us debug this:
 no locks held by automount/4199.

 Leftover inexact backtrace:
  =======================

and then deadlock comes.

The problem: autofs_fill_super() returns EINVAL to get_sb_nodev(), but
before that, it calls kill_anon_super() to destroy the superblock which
won't be needed.  This is however way too soon to call kill_anon_super(),
because get_sb_nodev() has to perform its own cleanup of the superblock
first (deactivate_super(), etc.).  The correct time to call
kill_anon_super() is in the autofs_kill_sb() callback, which is called by
deactivate_super() at proper time, when the superblock is ready to be
killed.

I can see the same faulty codepath also in autofs4.  This patch solves
issues in both filesystems in a same way - it postpones the
kill_anon_super() until the proper time is signalized by deactivate_super()
calling the kill_sb() callback.
