a877ee03ac vfs: add "device" tag to /proc/self/mountstats
nfsiostat was failing to find mounted filesystems on kernels after
2.6.38 because of changes to show_vfsstat() by commit
c7f404b40a.  This patch adds back the
"device" tag before the nfs server entry so scripts can parse the
mountstats file correctly.

815d405cef VFS: Fix the remaining automounter semantics regressions
The concensus seems to be that system calls such as stat() etc should
not trigger an automount.  Neither should the l* versions.

This patch therefore adds a LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag to tag those lookups
that _should_ trigger an automount on the last path element.

423e0ab086 VFS : mount lock scalability for internal mounts
For a number of file systems that don't have a mount point (e.g. sockfs
and pipefs), they are not marked as long term. Therefore in
mntput_no_expire, all locks in vfs_mount lock are taken instead of just
local cpu's lock to aggregate reference counts when we release
reference to file objects.  In fact, only local lock need to have been
taken to update ref counts as these file systems are in no danger of
going away until we are ready to unregister them.

The attached patch marks file systems using kern_mount without
mount point as long term.  The contentions of vfs_mount lock
is now eliminated.  Before un-registering such file system,
kern_unmount should be called to remove the long term flag and
make the mount point ready to be freed.

f15146380d fs: seq_file - add event counter to simplify poll() support
Moving the event counter into the dynamically allocated 'struc seq_file'
allows poll() support without the need to allocate its own tracking

7c6e984dfc fs/namespace.c: bound mount propagation fix
This issue was discovered by users of busybox.  And the bug is actual for
busybox users, I don't know how it affects others.  Apparently, mount is
called with and without MS_SILENT, and this affects mount() behaviour.
But MS_SILENT is only supposed to affect kernel logging verbosity.

The following script was run in an empty test directory:

mkdir -p mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2
touch mount.dir/a mount.dir/b
mount -vv --bind         mount.shared1 mount.shared1
mount -vv --make-rshared mount.shared1
mount -vv --bind         mount.shared2 mount.shared2
mount -vv --make-rshared mount.shared2
mount -vv --bind mount.shared2 mount.shared1
mount -vv --bind mount.dir     mount.shared2
ls -R mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2
umount mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>/dev/null
umount mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>/dev/null
umount mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>/dev/null
rm -f mount.dir/a mount.dir/b mount.dir/c
rmdir mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2

mount -vv was used to show the mount() call arguments and result.
Output shows that flag argument has 0x00008000 = MS_SILENT bit:

mount: mount('mount.shared1','mount.shared1','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0
mount: mount('','mount.shared1','',0x0010c000,''):0
mount: mount('mount.shared2','mount.shared2','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0
mount: mount('','mount.shared2','',0x0010c000,''):0
mount: mount('mount.shared2','mount.shared1','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0
mount: mount('mount.dir','mount.shared2','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0
mount.dir:
a
b

mount.shared1:

mount.shared2:
a
b

After adding --loud option to remove MS_SILENT bit from just one mount cmd:

mkdir -p mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2
touch mount.dir/a mount.dir/b
mount -vv --bind         mount.shared1 mount.shared1 2>&1
mount -vv --make-rshared mount.shared1               2>&1
mount -vv --bind         mount.shared2 mount.shared2 2>&1
mount -vv --loud --make-rshared mount.shared2               2>&1  # <-HERE
mount -vv --bind mount.shared2 mount.shared1         2>&1
mount -vv --bind mount.dir     mount.shared2         2>&1
ls -R mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2      2>&1
umount mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>/dev/null
umount mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>/dev/null
umount mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2 2>/dev/null
rm -f mount.dir/a mount.dir/b mount.dir/c
rmdir mount.dir mount.shared1 mount.shared2

The result is different now - look closely at mount.shared1 directory listing.
Now it does show files 'a' and 'b':

mount: mount('mount.shared1','mount.shared1','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0
mount: mount('','mount.shared1','',0x0010c000,''):0
mount: mount('mount.shared2','mount.shared2','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0
mount: mount('','mount.shared2','',0x00104000,''):0
mount: mount('mount.shared2','mount.shared1','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0
mount: mount('mount.dir','mount.shared2','(null)',0x00009000,'(null)'):0

mount.dir:
a
b

mount.shared1:
a
b

mount.shared2:
a
b

The analysis shows that MS_SILENT flag which is ON by default in any
busybox-> mount operations cames to flags_to_propagation_type function and
causes the error return while is_power_of_2 checking because the function
expects only one bit set.  This doesn't allow to do busybox->mount with
any --make-[r]shared, --make-[r]private etc options.

Moreover, the recently added flags_to_propagation_type() function doesn't
allow us to do such operations as --make-[r]private --make-[r]shared etc.
when MS_SILENT is on.  The idea or clearing the MS_SILENT flag came from
to Denys Vlasenko.

be85bccaa5 Revert "vfs: Export file system uuid via /proc/<pid>/mountinfo"
This reverts commit 93f1c20bc8.

It turns out that libmount misparses it because it adds a '-' character
in the uuid string, which libmount then incorrectly confuses with the
separator string (" - ") at the end of all the optional arguments.

Upstream libmount (in the util-linux tree) has been fixed, but until
that fix actually percolates up to users, we'd better not expose this
change in the kernel.

Let's revisit this later (possibly by exposing the UUID without any '-'
characters in it, avoiding the user-space bug).

b12cea9198 change the locking order for namespace_sem
Have it nested inside ->i_mutex.  Instead of using follow_down()
under namespace_sem, followed by grabbing i_mutex and checking that
mountpoint to be is not dead, do the following:
	grab i_mutex
	check that it's not dead
	grab namespace_sem
	see if anything is mounted there
	if not, we've won
	otherwise
		drop locks
		put_path on what we had
		replace with what's mounted
		retry everything with new mountpoint to be

New helper (lock_mount()) does that.  do_add_mount(), do_move_mount(),
do_loopback() and pivot_root() switched to it; in case of the last
two that eliminates a race we used to have - original code didn't
do follow_down().

ff36fe2c84 LSM: Pass -o remount options to the LSM
The VFS mount code passes the mount options to the LSM.  The LSM will remove
options it understands from the data and the VFS will then pass the remaining
options onto the underlying filesystem.  This is how options like the
SELinux context= work.  The problem comes in that -o remount never calls
into LSM code.  So if you include an LSM specific option it will get passed
to the filesystem and will cause the remount to fail.  An example of where
this is a problem is the 'seclabel' option.  The SELinux LSM hook will
print this word in /proc/mounts if the filesystem is being labeled using
xattrs.  If you pass this word on mount it will be silently stripped and
ignored.  But if you pass this word on remount the LSM never gets called
and it will be passed to the FS.  The FS doesn't know what seclabel means
and thus should fail the mount.  For example an ext3 fs mounted over loop

# mount -o loop /tmp/fs /mnt/tmp
# cat /proc/mounts | grep /mnt/tmp
/dev/loop0 /mnt/tmp ext3 rw,seclabel,relatime,errors=continue,barrier=0,data=ordered 0 0
# mount -o remount /mnt/tmp
mount: /mnt/tmp not mounted already, or bad option
# dmesg
EXT3-fs (loop0): error: unrecognized mount option "seclabel" or missing value

This patch passes the remount mount options to an new LSM hook.

f03c65993b sanitize vfsmount refcounting changes
Instead of splitting refcount between (per-cpu) mnt_count
and (SMP-only) mnt_longrefs, make all references contribute
to mnt_count again and keep track of how many are longterm
ones.

Accounting rules for longterm count:
	* 1 for each fs_struct.root.mnt
	* 1 for each fs_struct.pwd.mnt
	* 1 for having non-NULL ->mnt_ns
	* decrement to 0 happens only under vfsmount lock exclusive

That allows nice common case for mntput() - since we can't drop the
final reference until after mnt_longterm has reached 0 due to the rules
above, mntput() can grab vfsmount lock shared and check mnt_longterm.
If it turns out to be non-zero (which is the common case), we know
that this is not the final mntput() and can just blindly decrement
percpu mnt_count.  Otherwise we grab vfsmount lock exclusive and
do usual decrement-and-check of percpu mnt_count.

For fs_struct.c we have mnt_make_longterm() and mnt_make_shortterm();
namespace.c uses the latter in places where we don't already hold
vfsmount lock exclusive and opencodes a few remaining spots where
we need to manipulate mnt_longterm.

Note that we mostly revert the code outside of fs/namespace.c back
to what we used to have; in particular, normal code doesn't need
to care about two kinds of references, etc.  And we get to keep
the optimization Nick's variant had bought us...

7b8a53fd81 fix old umount_tree() breakage
Expiry-related code calls umount_tree() several times with
the same list to collect vfsmounts to.  Which is fine, except
that umount_tree() implicitly assumed that the list would
be empty on each call - it moves the victims over there and
then iterates through the list kicking them out.  It's *almost*
idempotent, so everything nearly worked.  However, mnt->ghosts
handling (and thus expirability checks) had been broken - that
part was not idempotent...

The fix is trivial - use local temporary list, splice it to
the the collector list when we are through.

ea5b778a8b Unexport do_add_mount() and add in follow_automount(), not ->d_automount()
Unexport do_add_mount() and make ->d_automount() return the vfsmount to be
added rather than calling do_add_mount() itself.  follow_automount() will then
do the addition.

This slightly complicates things as ->d_automount() normally wants to add the
new vfsmount to an expiration list and start an expiration timer.  The problem
with that is that the vfsmount will be deleted if it has a refcount of 1 and
the timer will not repeat if the expiration list is empty.

To this end, we require the vfsmount to be returned from d_automount() with a
refcount of (at least) 2.  One of these refs will be dropped unconditionally.
In addition, follow_automount() must get a 3rd ref around the call to
do_add_mount() lest it eat a ref and return an error, leaving the mount we
have open to being expired as we would otherwise have only 1 ref on it.

d_automount() should also add the the vfsmount to the expiration list (by
calling mnt_set_expiry()) and start the expiration timer before returning, if
this mechanism is to be used.  The vfsmount will be unlinked from the
expiration list by follow_automount() if do_add_mount() fails.

This patch also fixes the call to do_add_mount() for AFS to propagate the mount
flags from the parent vfsmount.

cc53ce53c8 Add a dentry op to allow processes to be held during pathwalk transit
Add a dentry op (d_manage) to permit a filesystem to hold a process and make it
sleep when it tries to transit away from one of that filesystem's directories
during a pathwalk.  The operation is keyed off a new dentry flag
(DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT).

The filesystem is allowed to be selective about which processes it holds and
which it permits to continue on or prohibits from transiting from each flagged
directory.  This will allow autofs to hold up client processes whilst letting
its userspace daemon through to maintain the directory or the stuff behind it
or mounted upon it.

The ->d_manage() dentry operation:

	int (*d_manage)(struct path *path, bool mounting_here);

takes a pointer to the directory about to be transited away from and a flag
indicating whether the transit is undertaken by do_add_mount() or
do_move_mount() skipping through a pile of filesystems mounted on a mountpoint.

It should return 0 if successful and to let the process continue on its way;
-EISDIR to prohibit the caller from skipping to overmounted filesystems or
automounting, and to use this directory; or some other error code to return to
the user.

->d_manage() is called with namespace_sem writelocked if mounting_here is true
and no other locks held, so it may sleep.  However, if mounting_here is true,
it may not initiate or wait for a mount or unmount upon the parameter
directory, even if the act is actually performed by userspace.

Within fs/namei.c, follow_managed() is extended to check with d_manage() first
on each managed directory, before transiting away from it or attempting to
automount upon it.

follow_down() is renamed follow_down_one() and should only be used where the
filesystem deliberately intends to avoid management steps (e.g. autofs).

A new follow_down() is added that incorporates the loop done by all other
callers of follow_down() (do_add/move_mount(), autofs and NFSD; whilst AFS, NFS
and CIFS do use it, their use is removed by converting them to use
d_automount()).  The new follow_down() calls d_manage() as appropriate.  It
also takes an extra parameter to indicate if it is being called from mount code
(with namespace_sem writelocked) which it passes to d_manage().  follow_down()
ignores automount points so that it can be used to mount on them.

__follow_mount_rcu() is made to abort rcu-walk mode if it hits a directory with
DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT set on the basis that we're probably going to have to
sleep.  It would be possible to enter d_manage() in rcu-walk mode too, and have
that determine whether to abort or not itself.  That would allow the autofs
daemon to continue on in rcu-walk mode.

Note that DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT on a directory should be cleared when it isn't
required as every tranist from that directory will cause d_manage() to be
invoked.  It can always be set again when necessary.

==========================
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR AUTOFS
==========================

Autofs currently uses the lookup() inode op and the d_revalidate() dentry op to
trigger the automounting of indirect mounts, and both of these can be called
with i_mutex held.

autofs knows that the i_mutex will be held by the caller in lookup(), and so
can drop it before invoking the daemon - but this isn't so for d_revalidate(),
since the lock is only held on _some_ of the code paths that call it.  This
means that autofs can't risk dropping i_mutex from its d_revalidate() function
before it calls the daemon.

The bug could manifest itself as, for example, a process that's trying to
validate an automount dentry that gets made to wait because that dentry is
expired and needs cleaning up:

	mkdir         S ffffffff8014e05a     0 32580  24956

versus the automount daemon which wants to remove that dentry, but can't

which means that the system is deadlocked.

This patch allows autofs to hold up normal processes whilst the daemon goes
ahead and does things to the dentry tree behind the automouter point without
risking a deadlock as almost no locks are held in d_manage() and none in
d_automount().

b3e19d924b fs: scale mntget/mntput
The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability.
We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup,
which often go to the same mount point.

The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made
scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that
was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs
that may have taken a reference count.

We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping
distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less
frequently.

- check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection
  for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts).

- keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this
  is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of
  a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a
  particular CPU which requires more locking).

- keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum
  the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then,
  keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references,
  and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0.

This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root
and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is
a short reference.

This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted
subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running
in them.

This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a
per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock
and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger
and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash.

5f57cbcc02 fs: dcache remove d_mounted
Rather than keep a d_mounted count in the dentry, set a dentry flag instead.
The flag can be cleared by checking the hash table to see if there are any
mounts left, which is not time critical because it is performed at detach time.

The mounted state of a dentry is only used to speculatively take a look in the
mount hash table if it is set -- before following the mount, vfsmount lock is
taken and mount re-checked without races.

This saves 4 bytes on 32-bit, nothing on 64-bit but it does provide a hole I
might use later (and some configs have larger than 32-bit spinlocks which might
make use of the hole).

Autofs4 conversion and changelog by Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net>:
In autofs4, when expring direct (or offset) mounts we need to ensure that we
block user path walks into the autofs mount, which is covered by another mount.
To do this we clear the mounted status so that follows stop before walking into
the mount and are essentially blocked until the expire is completed. The
automount daemon still finds the correct dentry for the umount due to the
follow mount logic in fs/autofs4/root.c:autofs4_follow_link(), which is set as
an inode operation for direct and offset mounts only and is called following
the lookup that stopped at the covered mount.

At the end of the expire the covering mount probably has gone away so the
mounted status need not be restored. But we need to check this and only restore
the mounted status if the expire failed.

XXX: autofs may not work right if we have other mounts go over the top of it?

7a2e8a8faa VFS: Sanity check mount flags passed to change_mnt_propagation()
Sanity check the flags passed to change_mnt_propagation().  Exactly
one flag should be set.  Return EINVAL otherwise.

Userspace can pass in arbitrary combinations of MS_* flags to mount().
do_change_type() is called if any of MS_SHARED, MS_PRIVATE, MS_SLAVE,
or MS_UNBINDABLE is set.  do_change_type() clears MS_REC and then
calls change_mnt_propagation() with the rest of the user-supplied
flags.  change_mnt_propagation() clearly assumes only one flag is set
but do_change_type() does not check that this is true.  For example,
mount() with flags MS_SHARED | MS_RDONLY does not actually make the
mount shared or read-only but does clear MNT_UNBINDABLE.

99b7db7b8f fs: brlock vfsmount_lock
fs: brlock vfsmount_lock

Use a brlock for the vfsmount lock. It must be taken for write whenever
modifying the mount hash or associated fields, and may be taken for read when
performing mount hash lookups.

A new lock is added for the mnt-id allocator, so it doesn't need to take
the heavy vfsmount write-lock.

The number of atomics should remain the same for fastpath rlock cases, though
code would be slightly slower due to per-cpu access. Scalability is not not be
much improved in common cases yet, due to other locks (ie. dcache_lock) getting
in the way. However path lookups crossing mountpoints should be one case where
scalability is improved (currently requiring the global lock).

The slowpath is slower due to use of brlock. On a 64 core, 64 socket, 32 node
Altix system (high latency to remote nodes), a simple umount microbenchmark
(mount --bind mnt mnt2 ; umount mnt2 loop 1000 times), before this patch it
took 6.8s, afterwards took 7.1s, about 5% slower.

7a4dec5389 Fix sget() race with failing mount
If sget() finds a matching superblock being set up, it'll
grab an active reference to it and grab s_umount.  That's
fine - we'll wait for completion of foofs_get_sb() that way.
However, if said foofs_get_sb() fails we'll end up holding
the halfway-created superblock.  deactivate_locked_super()
called by foofs_get_sb() will just unlock the sucker since
we are holding another active reference to it.

What we need is a way to tell if superblock has been successfully
set up.  Unfortunately, neither ->s_root nor the check for
MS_ACTIVE quite fit.  Cheap and easy way, suitable for backport:
new flag set by the (only) caller of ->get_sb().  If that flag
isn't present by the time sget() grabbed s_umount on preexisting
superblock it has found, it's seeing a stillborn and should
just bury it with deactivate_locked_super() (and repeat the search).

Longer term we want to set that flag in ->get_sb() instances (and
check for it to distinguish between "sget() found us a live sb"
and "sget() has allocated an sb, we need to set it up" in there,
instead of checking ->s_root as we do now).

d83c49f3e3 Fix the regression created by "set S_DEAD on unlink()..." commit
1) i_flags simply doesn't work for mount/unlink race prevention;
we may have many links to file and rm on one of those obviously
shouldn't prevent bind on top of another later on.  To fix it
right way we need to mark _dentry_ as unsuitable for mounting
upon; new flag (DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT) is protected by d_flags and
i_mutex on the inode in question.  Set it (with dont_mount(dentry))
in unlink/rmdir/etc., check (with cant_mount(dentry)) in places
in namespace.c that used to check for S_DEAD.  Setting S_DEAD
is still needed in places where we used to set it (for directories
getting killed), since we rely on it for readdir/rmdir race
prevention.

2) rename()/mount() protection has another bogosity - we unhash
the target before we'd checked that it's not a mountpoint.  Fixed.

3) ancient bogosity in pivot_root() - we locked i_mutex on the
right directory, but checked S_DEAD on the different (and wrong)
one.  Noticed and fixed.
