Hi Al,
Can you update your tree with this?
Here are a set of patches to create a filesystem context prior to setting
up a new mount, populating it with the parsed options/binary data, creating
the superblock and then effecting the mount. This is also used for remount
since much of the parsing stuff is common in many filesystems.
This allows namespaces and other information to be conveyed through the
mount procedure.
This also allows Miklós Szeredi's idea of doing:
fd = fsopen("nfs");
write(fd, "option=val", ...);
mfd = fsmount(fd, MS_NODEV);
move_mount(mfd, "", AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH);
that he presented at LSF-2017 to be implemented (see the relevant patches
in the series).
I didn't use netlink as that would make the core kernel depend on
CONFIG_NET and CONFIG_NETLINK and would introduce network namespacing
issues.
I've implemented filesystem context handling for procfs, nfs, mqueue,
cpuset, kernfs, sysfs, cgroup and afs filesystems.
Unconverted filesystems are handled by a legacy filesystem wrapper.
Significant changes:
ver #9:
(*) Dropped the fd cookie stuff and the FMODE_*/O_* split stuff.
(*) Al added an open_tree() system call to allow a mount tree to be picked
referenced or cloned into an O_PATH-style fd. This can then be used
with sys_move_mount(). Dropped the O_CLONE_MOUNT and O_NON_RECURSIVE
open() flags.
(*) Brought error logging back in, though only in the fs_context and not
in the task_struct.
(*) Separated MS_REMOUNT|MS_BIND handling from MS_REMOUNT handling.
(*) Used anon_inodes for the fd returned by fsopen() and fspick(). This
requires making it unconditional.
(*) Fixed lots of bugs. Especial thanks to Al and Eric Biggers for
finding them and providing patches.
(*) Wrote manual pages, which I'll post separately.
ver #8:
(*) Changed the way fsmount() mounts into the namespace according to some
of Al's ideas.
(*) Put better typing on the fd cookie obtained from __fdget() & co..
(*) Stored the fd cookie in struct nameidata rather than the dfd number.
(*) Changed sys_fsmount() to return an O_PATH-style fd rather than
actually mounting into the mount namespace.
(*) Separated internal FMODE_* handling from O_* handling to free up
certain O_* flag numbers.
(*) Added two new open flags (O_CLONE_MOUNT and O_NON_RECURSIVE) for use
with open(O_PATH) to copy a mount or mount-subtree to an O_PATH fd.
(*) Added a new syscall, sys_move_mount(), to move a mount from an
dfd+path source to a dfd+path destination.
(*) Added a file->f_mode flag (FMODE_NEED_UNMOUNT) that indicates that the
vfsmount attached to file->f_path needs 'unmounting' if set.
(*) Made sys_move_mount() clear FMODE_NEED_UNMOUNT if successful.
[!] This doesn't work quite right.
(*) Added a new syscall, fsinfo(), to query information about a
filesystem. The idea being that this will, in future, work with the
fd from fsopen() too and permit querying of the parameters and
metadata before fsmount() is called.
ver #7:
(*) Undo an incorrect MS_* -> SB_* conversion.
(*) Pass the mount data buffer size to all the mount-related functions that
take the data pointer. This fixes a problem where someone (say SELinux)
tries to copy the mount data, assuming it to be a page in size, and
overruns the buffer - thereby incurring an oops by hitting a guard page.
(*) Made the AFS filesystem use them as an example. This is a much easier to
deal with than with NFS or Ext4 as there are very few mount options.
ver #6:
(*) Dropped the supplementary error string facility for the moment.
(*) Dropped the NFS patches for the moment.
(*) Dropped the reserved file descriptor argument from fsopen() and
replaced it with three reserved pointers that must be NULL.
ver #5:
(*) Renamed sb_config -> fs_context and adjusted variable names.
(*) Differentiated the flags in sb->s_flags (now named SB_*) from those
passed to mount(2) (named MS_*).
(*) Renamed __vfs_new_fs_context() to vfs_new_fs_context() and made the
caller always provide a struct file_system_type pointer and the
parameters required.
(*) Got rid of vfs_submount_fc() in favour of passing
FS_CONTEXT_FOR_SUBMOUNT to vfs_new_fs_context(). The purpose is now
used more.
(*) Call ->validate() on the remount path.
(*) Got rid of the inode locking in sys_fsmount().
(*) Call security_sb_mountpoint() in the mount(2) path.
ver #4:
(*) Split the sb_config patch up somewhat.
(*) Made the supplementary error string facility something attached to the
task_struct rather than the sb_config so that error messages can be
obtained from NFS doing a mount-root-and-pathwalk inside the
nfs_get_tree() operation.
Further, made this managed and read by prctl rather than through the
mount fd so that it's more generally available.
ver #3:
(*) Rebased on 4.12-rc1.
(*) Split the NFS patch up somewhat.
ver #2:
(*) Removed the ->fill_super() from sb_config_operations and passed it in
directly to functions that want to call it. NFS now calls
nfs_fill_super() directly rather than jumping through a pointer to it
since there's only the one option at the moment.
(*) Removed ->mnt_ns and ->sb from sb_config and moved ->pid_ns into
proc_sb_config.
(*) Renamed create_super -> get_tree.
(*) Renamed struct mount_context to struct sb_config and amended various
variable names.
(*) sys_fsmount() acquired AT_* flags and MS_* flags (for MNT_* flags)
arguments.
ver #1:
(*) Split the sb_config stuff out into its own header.
(*) Support non-context aware filesystems through a special set of
sb_config operations.
(*) Stored the created superblock and root dentry into the sb_config after
creation rather than directly into a vfsmount. This allows some
arguments to be removed to various NFS functions.
(*) Added an explicit superblock-creation step. This allows a created
superblock to then be mounted multiple times.
(*) Added a flag to say that the sb_config is degraded and cannot have
another go at having a superblock creation whilst getting rid of the
one that says it's already mounted.
Possible further developments:
(*) Implement sb reconfiguration (for now it returns ENOANO).
(*) Implement mount context support in more filesystems, ext4 being next
on my list.
(*) Move the walk-from-root stuff that nfs has to generic code so that you
can do something akin to:
mount /dev/sda1:/foo/bar /mnt
See nfs_follow_remote_path() and mount_subtree(). This is slightly
tricky in NFS as we have to prevent referral loops.
(*) Work out how to get at the error message incurred by submounts
encountered during nfs_follow_remote_path().
Should the error message be moved to task_struct and made more
general, perhaps retrieved with a prctl() function?
(*) Clean up/consolidate the security functions. Possibly add a
validation hook to be called at the same time as the mount context
validate op.
