Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro:
"Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to
pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing
those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually
_stored_ anywhere.
That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we
have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an
unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the
reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that
removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).
Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag
(DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set
claims responsibility for +1 in refcount.
The end result this series is aiming for:
- get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives
that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear
persistency flag.
- instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the
remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't
been removed prior to umount), have the regular
shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries,
dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that
kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super().
Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many
places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.
This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary
pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting
to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
to it.
Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
that stuff is here"

At this point there are very few call chains that might lead to
d_make_discardable() on a dentry that hadn't been made persistent:
calls of simple_unlink() and simple_rmdir() in configfs and
apparmorfs.
Both filesystems do pin (part of) their contents in dcache, but
they are currently playing very unusual games with that. Converting
them to more usual patterns might be possible, but it's definitely
going to be a long series of changes in both cases.
For now the easiest solution is to have both stop using simple_unlink()
and simple_rmdir() - that allows to make d_make_discardable() warn
when given a non-persistent dentry.
Rather than giving them full-blown private copies (with calls of
d_make_discardable() replaced with dput()), let's pull the parts of
simple_unlink() and simple_rmdir() that deal with timestamps and link
counts into separate helpers (__simple_unlink() and __simple_rmdir()
resp.) and have those used by configfs and apparmorfs.

These are guaranteed to be empty by the time they are shut down;
both are single-instance and there is an internal mount maintained
for as long as there is any contents.
Both have that internal mount pinned by every object in root.
In other words, kill_litter_super() boils down to kill_anon_super()
for those.

Configfs can be configured as a loadable module, which causes a link-time
failure for dm-crypt crash dump support:
crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.text+0x3a4): undefined reference to `config_item_init_type_name'
aarch64-linux-ld: kernel/crash_dump_dm_crypt.o: in function `configfs_dmcrypt_keys_init':
crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.init.text+0x90): undefined reference to `config_group_init'
aarch64-linux-ld: crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.init.text+0xb4): undefined reference to `configfs_register_subsystem'
aarch64-linux-ld: crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.init.text+0xd8): undefined reference to `configfs_unregister_subsystem'
This could be avoided with a dependency on CONFIGFS_FS=y, but the
dependency has an additional problem of causing Kconfig dependency loops
since most other uses select the symbol.
Using a simple 'select CONFIGFS_FS' here in turn fails with
CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=m, because that still only causes configfs to be a
loadable module.
The only version I found that fixes this reliably uses an additional
Kconfig symbol to ensure the 'select' actually turns on configfs as
builtin, with two additional changes to avoid dependency loops with nvme
and sysfs.
There is no compile-time dependency between configfs and sysfs, so
selecting configfs from a driver with sysfs disabled does not cause link
failures, only the default /sys/kernel/config mount point will not be
created.

Some filesystems, such as NFS, cifs, ceph, and fuse, do not have
complete control of sequencing on the actual filesystem (e.g. on a
different server) and may find that the inode created for a mkdir
request already exists in the icache and dcache by the time the mkdir
request returns. For example, if the filesystem is mounted twice the
directory could be visible on the other mount before it is on the
original mount, and a pair of name_to_handle_at(), open_by_handle_at()
calls could instantiate the directory inode with an IS_ROOT() dentry
before the first mkdir returns.
This means that the dentry passed to ->mkdir() may not be the one that
is associated with the inode after the ->mkdir() completes. Some
callers need to interact with the inode after the ->mkdir completes and
they currently need to perform a lookup in the (rare) case that the
dentry is no longer hashed.
This lookup-after-mkdir requires that the directory remains locked to
avoid races. Planned future patches to lock the dentry rather than the
directory will mean that this lookup cannot be performed atomically with
the mkdir.
To remove this barrier, this patch changes ->mkdir to return the
resulting dentry if it is different from the one passed in.
Possible returns are:
NULL - the directory was created and no other dentry was used
ERR_PTR() - an error occurred
non-NULL - this other dentry was spliced in
This patch only changes file-systems to return "ERR_PTR(err)" instead of
"err" or equivalent transformations. Subsequent patches will make
further changes to some file-systems to return a correct dentry.
Not all filesystems reliably result in a positive hashed dentry:
- NFS, cifs, hostfs will sometimes need to perform a lookup of
the name to get inode information. Races could result in this
returning something different. Note that this lookup is
non-atomic which is what we are trying to avoid. Placing the
lookup in filesystem code means it only happens when the filesystem
has no other option.
- kernfs and tracefs leave the dentry negative and the ->revalidate
operation ensures that lookup will be called to correctly populate
the dentry. This could be fixed but I don't think it is important
to any of the users of vfs_mkdir() which look at the dentry.
The recommendation to use
d_drop();d_splice_alias()
is ugly but fits with current practice. A planned future patch will
change this.

As the size of a directory increases item creation slows down.
Optimizing access to s_children removes this bottleneck.
dirents are already pinned into the cache, there is no need to scan the
s_children list looking for duplicate Items. The configfs_dirent_exists
check is moved to a location where it is called only during subsystem
initialization.
d_lookup will only need to call configfs_lookup in the case where the
item in question is not pinned to dcache. The only items not pinned to
dcache are attributes. These are placed at the front of the s_children
list, whilst pinned items are inserted at the back. configfs_lookup
stops scanning when it encounters the first pinned entry in s_children.
The assumption of the above optimizations is that there will be few
attributes, but potentially many Items in a given directory.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a

conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the

eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems

This is because the refcount is not correct in configfs_make_dirent().
For normal stage, the refcount is changing as:
configfs_register_subsystem()
configfs_create_dir()
configfs_make_dirent()
configfs_new_dirent() # set s_count = 1
dentry->d_fsdata = configfs_get(sd); # s_count = 2
...
configfs_unregister_subsystem()
configfs_remove_dir()
remove_dir()
configfs_remove_dirent() # s_count = 1
dput() ...
*dentry_unlink_inode()*
configfs_d_iput() # s_count = 0, release
However, if we failed in configfs_create():
configfs_register_subsystem()
configfs_create_dir()
configfs_make_dirent() # s_count = 2
...
configfs_create() # fail
->out_remove:
configfs_remove_dirent(dentry)
configfs_put(sd) # s_count = 1
return PTR_ERR(inode);
There is no inode in the error path, so the configfs_d_iput() is lost
and makes sd and fragment memory leaked.
To fix this, when we failed in configfs_create(), manually call
configfs_put(sd) to keep the refcount correct.

When configfs_register_subsystem() or configfs_unregister_subsystem()
is executing link_group() or unlink_group(),
it is possible that two processes add or delete list concurrently.
Some unfortunate interleavings of them can cause kernel panic.
One of cases is:
A --> B --> C --> D
A <-- B <-- C <-- D
delete list_head *B | delete list_head *C
--------------------------------|-----------------------------------
configfs_unregister_subsystem | configfs_unregister_subsystem
unlink_group | unlink_group
unlink_obj | unlink_obj
list_del_init | list_del_init
__list_del_entry | __list_del_entry
__list_del | __list_del
// next == C |
next->prev = prev |
| next->prev = prev
prev->next = next |
| // prev == B
| prev->next = next
Fix this by adding mutex when calling link_group() or unlink_group(),
but parent configfs_subsystem is NULL when config_item is root.
So I create a mutex configfs_subsystem_mutex.

Commit 49246466a989 ("fsnotify: move fsnotify_nameremove() hook out of
d_delete()") moved the fsnotify delete hook before d_delete() so fsnotify
will have access to a positive dentry.
This allowed a race where opening the deleted file via cached dentry
is now possible after receiving the IN_DELETE event.
To fix the regression in pseudo filesystems, convert d_delete() calls
to d_drop() (see commit 46c46f8df9aa ("devpts_pty_kill(): don't bother
with d_delete()") and move the fsnotify hook after d_drop().
Add a missing fsnotify_unlink() hook in nfsdfs that was found during
the audit of fsnotify hooks in pseudo filesystems.
Note that the fsnotify hooks in simple_recursive_removal() follow
d_invalidate(), so they require no change.

Commit 7fe1e79b59ba ("configfs: implement the .read_iter and .write_iter
methods") changed the simple_read_from_buffer() calls into copy_to_iter()
calls and the simple_write_to_buffer() calls into copy_from_iter() calls.
The simple*buffer() methods update the file offset (*ppos) but the read
and write iterators not yet. Make the read and write iterators update the
file offset (iocb->ki_pos).
This patch has been tested as follows:

Move the ramfs aops to libfs and reuse them for kernfs and configfs.
Thosw two did not wire up ->set_page_dirty before and now get
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback, which is the right one for no-writeback
address_space usage.
Drop the now unused exports of the libfs helpers only used for ramfs-style
pagecache usage.

The section "19) Editor modelines and other cruft" in
Documentation/process/coding-style.rst clearly says, "Do not include any
of these in source files."
I recently receive a patch to explicitly add a new one.
Let's do treewide cleanups, otherwise some people follow the existing code
and attempt to upstream their favoriate editor setups.
It is even nicer if scripts/checkpatch.pl can check it.
If we like to impose coding style in an editor-independent manner, I think
editorconfig (patch [1]) is a saner solution.

Commit b0841eefd969 ("configfs: provide exclusion between IO and removals")
uses ->frag_dead to mark the fragment state, thus no bothering with extra
refcount on config_item when opening a file. The configfs_get_config_item
was removed in __configfs_open_file, but not with config_item_put. So the
refcount on config_item will lost its balance, causing use-after-free
issues in some occasions like this:
Test:
1. Mount configfs on /config with read-only items:
drwxrwx--- 289 root root 0 2021-04-01 11:55 /config
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2021-04-01 11:54 /config/a
--w--w--w- 1 root root 4096 2021-04-01 11:53 /config/a/1.txt
......
2. Then run:
for file in /config
do
echo $file
grep -R 'key' $file
done
3. __configfs_open_file will be called in parallel, the first one
got called will do:
if (file->f_mode & FMODE_READ) {
if (!(inode->i_mode & S_IRUGO))
goto out_put_module;
config_item_put(buffer->item);
kref_put()
package_details_release()
kfree()
the other one will run into use-after-free issues like this:

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.

The two helpers inode_permission() and generic_permission() are used by
the vfs to perform basic permission checking by verifying that the
caller is privileged over an inode. In order to handle idmapped mounts
we extend the two helpers with an additional user namespace argument.
On idmapped mounts the two helpers will make sure to map the inode
according to the mount's user namespace and then peform identical
permission checks to inode_permission() and generic_permission(). If the
initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts
will see identical behavior as before.
