Hello,
here is a bugfix to d_path. Please apply (after 2.6.20).
First, when d_path() hits a lazily unmounted mount point, it tries to
prepend the name of the lazily unmounted dentry to the path name. It
gets this wrong, and also overwrites the slash that separates the name
from the following pathname component. This is demonstrated by the
attached test case, which prints "getcwd returned d_path-bugsubdir"
with the bug. The correct result would be "getcwd returned
d_path-bug/subdir".
It could be argued that the name of the root dentry should not be part
of the result of d_path in the first place. On the other hand, what the
unconnected namespace was once reachable as may provide some useful
hints to users, and so that seems okay.
Second, it isn't always possible to tell from the __d_path result whether
the specified root and rootmnt (i.e., the chroot) was reached: lazy
unmounts of bind mounts will produce a path that does start with a
non-slash so we can tell from that, but other lazy unmounts will produce
a path that starts with a slash, just like "ordinary" paths.
The attached patch cleans up __d_path() to fix the bug with overlapping
pathname components. It also adds a @fail_deleted argument, which allows
to get rid of some of the mess in sys_getcwd(). Grabbing the dcache_lock
can then also be moved into __d_path(). The patch also makes sure that
paths will only start with a slash for paths which are connected to the
root and rootmnt.
The @fail_deleted argument could be added to d_path() as well: this would
allow callers to recognize deleted files, without having to resort to the
ambiguous check for the " (deleted)" string at the end of the pathnames.
This is not currently done, but it might be worthwhile.
