An all around not pleasant experience. To avoid this scenario when finding the appropriate source mount to copy stop the walk up the mnt_master chain when the first source mount is encountered. Further rewrite the walk up the last_source mnt_master chain so that it is clear what is going on. The reason why the first source mount is special is that it it's mnt_parent is not a mount in the dest_mnt propagation tree, and as such termination conditions based up on the dest_mnt mount propgation tree do not make sense. To avoid other kinds of confusion last_dest is not changed when computing last_source. last_dest is only used once in propagate_one and that is above the point of the code being modified, so changing the global variable is meaningless and confusing.

* fs/pnode.c: treat zero mnt_group_id-s as unequalMaxim Patlasov2016-02-201-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | propagate_one(m) calculates "type" argument for copy_tree() like this: > if (m->mnt_group_id == last_dest->mnt_group_id) { > type = CL_MAKE_SHARED; > } else { > type = CL_SLAVE; > if (IS_MNT_SHARED(m)) > type |= CL_MAKE_SHARED; > } The "type" argument then governs clone_mnt() behavior with respect to flags and mnt_master of new mount. When we iterate through a slave group, it is possible that both current "m" and "last_dest" are not shared (although, both are slaves, i.e. have non-NULL mnt_master-s). Then the comparison above erroneously makes new mount shared and sets its mnt_master to last_source->mnt_master. The patch fixes the problem by handling zero mnt_group_id-s as though they are unequal. The similar problem exists in the implementation of "else" clause above when we have to ascend upward in the master/slave tree by calling: > last_source = last_source->mnt_master; > last_dest = last_source->mnt_parent; proper number of times. The last step is governed by "n->mnt_group_id != last_dest->mnt_group_id" condition that may lie if both are zero. The patch fixes this case in the same way as the former one.

* mnt: Don't propagate unmounts to locked mountsEric W. Biederman2015-04-021-3/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the first mount in shared subtree is locked don't unmount the shared subtree. This is ensured by walking through the mounts parents before children and marking a mount as unmountable if it is not locked or it is locked but it's parent is marked. This allows recursive mount detach to propagate through a set of mounts when unmounting them would not reveal what is under any locked mount. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

* mnt: On an unmount propagate clearing of MNT_LOCKEDEric W. Biederman2015-04-021-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A prerequisite of calling umount_tree is that the point where the tree is mounted at is valid to unmount. If we are propagating the effect of the unmount clear MNT_LOCKED in every instance where the same filesystem is mounted on the same mountpoint in the mount tree, as we know (by virtue of the fact that umount_tree was called) that it is safe to reveal what is at that mountpoint.

* mnt: Delay removal from the mount hash.Eric W. Biederman2015-04-021-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Modify __lookup_mnt_hash_last to ignore mounts that have MNT_UMOUNTED set. - Don't remove mounts from the mount hash table in propogate_umount - Don't remove mounts from the mount hash table in umount_tree before the entire list of mounts to be umounted is selected. - Remove mounts from the mount hash table as the last thing that happens in the case where a mount has a parent in umount_tree. Mounts without parents are not hashed (by definition). This paves the way for delaying removal from the mount hash table even farther and fixing the MNT_LOCKED vs MNT_DETACH issue.

* mnt: In umount_tree reuse mnt_list instead of mnt_hashEric W. Biederman2015-04-021-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | umount_tree builds a list of mounts that need to be unmounted. Utilize mnt_list for this purpose instead of mnt_hash. This begins to allow keeping a mount on the mnt_hash after it is unmounted, which is necessary for a properly functioning MNT_LOCKED implementation. The fact that mnt_list is an ordinary list makding available list_move is nice bonus. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
* mnt: Move the clear of MNT_LOCKED from copy_tree to it's callers.Eric W. Biederman2014-12-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clear MNT_LOCKED in the callers of copy_tree except copy_mnt_ns, and collect_mounts. In copy_mnt_ns it is necessary to create an exact copy of a mount tree, so not clearing MNT_LOCKED is important. Similarly collect_mounts is used to take a snapshot of the mount tree for audit logging purposes and auditing using a faithful copy of the tree is important. This becomes particularly significant when we start setting MNT_LOCKED on rootfs to prevent it from being unmounted. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

* smarter propagate_mnt()Al Viro2014-04-011-79/+119
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current mainline has copies propagated to *all* nodes, then tears down the copies we made for nodes that do not contain counterparts of the desired mountpoint. That sets the right propagation graph for the copies (at teardown time we move the slaves of removed node to a surviving peer or directly to master), but we end up paying a fairly steep price in useless allocations. It's fairly easy to create a situation where N calls of mount(2) create exactly N bindings, with O(N^2) vfsmounts allocated and freed in process. Fortunately, it is possible to avoid those allocations/freeings. The trick is to create copies in the right order and find which one would've eventually become a master with the current algorithm. It turns out to be possible in O(nodes getting propagation) time and with no extra allocations at all. One part is that we need to make sure that eventual master will be created before its slaves, so we need to walk the propagation tree in a different order - by peer groups. And iterate through the peers before dealing with the next group. Another thing is finding the (earlier) copy that will be a master of one we are about to create; to do that we are (temporary) marking the masters of mountpoints we are attaching the copies to. Either we are in a peer of the last mountpoint we'd dealt with, or we have the following situation: we are attaching to mountpoint M, the last copy S_0 had been attached to M_0 and there are sequences S_0...S_n, M_0...M_n such that S_{i+1} is a master of S_{i}, S_{i} mounted on M{i} and we need to create a slave of the first S_{k} such that M is getting propagation from M_{k}. It means that the master of M_{k} will be among the sequence of masters of M. On the other hand, the nearest marked node in that sequence will either be the master of M_{k} or the master of M_{k-1} (the latter - in the case if M_{k-1} is a slave of something M gets propagation from, but in a wrong peer group). So we go through the sequence of masters of M until we find a marked one (P). Let N be the one before it. Then we go through the sequence of masters of S_0 until we find one (say, S) mounted on a node D that has P as master and check if D is a peer of N. If it is, S will be the master of new copy, if not - the master of S will be. That's it for the hard part; the rest is fairly simple. Iterator is in next_group(), handling of one prospective mountpoint is propagate_one(). It seems to survive all tests and gives a noticably better performance than the current mainline for setups that are seriously using shared subtrees.

Add the flag CL_UNPRIVILEGED to note when we are copying a mount from a mount namespace that requires more privileges to a mount namespace that requires fewer privileges. When the CL_UNPRIVILEGED flag is set cause clone_mnt to set MNT_NO_REMOUNT if any of the mnt flags that should never be changed are set. This protects both mount propagation and the initial creation of a less privileged mount namespace.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros in lglock.h. But there's no reason to not just use common utility functions and put all the data into a common data structure.

The patch is rather large because I move over all users in one go to keep it bisectable. This impacts the VFS somewhat in terms of lines changed. But no actual behaviour change.

| | | | | | | | | | | | a) mount --move is checking that ->mnt_parent is non-NULL before looking if that parent happens to be shared; ->mnt_parent is never NULL and it's not even an misspelled !mnt_has_parent() b) pivot_root open-codes is_path_reachable(), poorly. c) so does path_is_under(), while we are at it.

* vfs: new internal helper: mnt_has_parent(mnt)Al Viro2012-01-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | vfsmounts have ->mnt_parent pointing either to a different vfsmount or to itself; it's never NULL and termination condition in loops traversing the tree towards root is mnt == mnt->mnt_parent. At least one place (see the next patch) is confused about what's going on; let's add an explicit helper checking it right way and use it in all places where we need it. Not that there had been too many, but... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
