devtmpfs regression fix: reconfigure on each mount

2022-01-17T07:40:29+00:00

Prior to Linux v5.4 devtmpfs used mount_single() which treats the given
mount options as "remount" options, so it updates the configuration of
the single super_block on each mount.

Since that was changed, the mount options used for devtmpfs are ignored.
This is a regression which affect systemd - which mounts devtmpfs with
"-o mode=755,size=4m,nr_inodes=1m".

This patch restores the "remount" effect by calling reconfigure_single()

cgroup1: fix leaked context root causing sporadic NULL deref in LTP

2021-07-21T16:39:20+00:00

Richard reported sporadic (roughly one in 10 or so) null dereferences and
other strange behaviour for a set of automated LTP tests.  Things like:

   BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
   #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
   #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

   Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
   CPU: 0 PID: 1516 Comm: umount Not tainted 5.10.0-yocto-standard #1
   Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-48-gd9c812dda519-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014
   RIP: 0010:kernfs_sop_show_path+0x1b/0x60

...or these others:

   RIP: 0010:d_alloc_parallel+0x98/0x510
   RIP: 0010:do_readlinkat+0x86/0x120

There were other less common instances of some kind of a general scribble
but the common theme was mount and cgroup and a dubious dentry triggering
the NULL dereference.  I was only able to reproduce it under qemu by
replicating Richard's setup as closely as possible - I never did get it
to happen on bare metal, even while keeping everything else the same.

In commit 71d883c37e8d ("cgroup_do_mount(): massage calling conventions")
we see this as a part of the overall change:

   --------------
           struct cgroup_subsys *ss;
   -       struct dentry *dentry;

   [...]

   -       dentry = cgroup_do_mount(&cgroup_fs_type, fc->sb_flags, root,
   -                                CGROUP_SUPER_MAGIC, ns);

   [...]

   -       if (percpu_ref_is_dying(&root->cgrp.self.refcnt)) {
   -               struct super_block *sb = dentry->d_sb;
   -               dput(dentry);
   +       ret = cgroup_do_mount(fc, CGROUP_SUPER_MAGIC, ns);
   +       if (!ret && percpu_ref_is_dying(&root->cgrp.self.refcnt)) {
   +               struct super_block *sb = fc->root->d_sb;
   +               dput(fc->root);
                   deactivate_locked_super(sb);
                   msleep(10);
                   return restart_syscall();
           }
   --------------

In changing from the local "*dentry" variable to using fc->root, we now
export/leave that dentry pointer in the file context after doing the dput()
in the unlikely "is_dying" case.   With LTP doing a crazy amount of back to
back mount/unmount [testcases/bin/cgroup_regression_5_1.sh] the unlikely
becomes slightly likely and then bad things happen.

A fix would be to not leave the stale reference in fc->root as follows:

   --------------
                  dput(fc->root);
  +               fc->root = NULL;
                  deactivate_locked_super(sb);
   --------------

...but then we are just open-coding a duplicate of fc_drop_locked() so we
simply use that instead.

fs: add vfs_parse_fs_param_source() helper

2021-07-14T16:19:06+00:00

Add a simple helper that filesystems can use in their parameter parser
to parse the "source" parameter. A few places open-coded this function
and that already caused a bug in the cgroup v1 parser that we fixed.
Let's make it harder to get this wrong by introducing a helper which
performs all necessary checks.

fuse: reject options on reconfigure via fsconfig(2)

2020-07-14T12:45:41+00:00

Previous patch changed handling of remount/reconfigure to ignore all
options, including those that are unknown to the fuse kernel fs.  This was
done for backward compatibility, but this likely only affects the old
mount(2) API.

The new fsconfig(2) based reconfiguration could possibly be improved.  This
would make the new API less of a drop in replacement for the old, OTOH this
is a good chance to get rid of some weirdnesses in the old API.

Several other behaviors might make sense:

 1) unknown options are rejected, known options are ignored

 2) unknown options are rejected, known options are rejected if the value
 is changed, allowed otherwise

 3) all options are rejected

Prior to the backward compatibility fix to ignore all options all known
options were accepted (1), even if they change the value of a mount
parameter; fuse_reconfigure() does not look at the config values set by
fuse_parse_param().

To fix that we'd need to verify that the value provided is the same as set
in the initial configuration (2).  The major drawback is that this is much
more complex than just rejecting all attempts at changing options (3);
i.e. all options signify initial configuration values and don't make sense
on reconfigure.

This patch opts for (3) with the rationale that no mount options are
reconfigurable in fuse.

add prefix to fs_context->log

2020-02-07T19:48:35+00:00

... turning it into struct p_log embedded into fs_context.  Initialize
the prefix with fs_type->name, turning fs_parse() into a trivial
inline wrapper for __fs_parse().

This makes fs_parameter_description->name completely unused.

new primitive: __fs_parse()

fs_parse() analogue taking p_log instead of fs_context.
fs_parse() turned into a wrapper, callers in ceph_common and rbd
switched to __fs_parse().

As the result, fs_parse() never gets NULL fs_context and neither
do fs_context-based logging primitives
