Al Viro b4c0353693 sanitize handling of nd->last_type, kill LAST_BIND
->last_type values are set in 3 places: path_init() (sets to LAST_ROOT),
link_path_walk (LAST_NORM/DOT/DOTDOT) and pick_link (LAST_BIND).

The are checked in walk_component(), lookup_last() and do_last().
They also get copied to the caller by filename_parentat().  In the last
3 cases the value is what we had at the return from link_path_walk().
In case of walk_component() it's either directly downstream from
assignment in link_path_walk() or, when called by lookup_last(), the
value we have at the return from link_path_walk().

The value at the entry into link_path_walk() can survive to return only
if the pathname contains nothing but slashes.  Note that pick_link()
never returns such - pure jumps are handled directly.  So for the calls
of link_path_walk() for trailing symlinks it does not matter what value
had been there at the entry; the value at the return won't depend upon it.

There are 3 call chains that might have pick_link() storing LAST_BIND:

1) pick_link() from step_into() from walk_component() from
link_path_walk().  In that case we will either be parsing the next
component immediately after return into link_path_walk(), which will
overwrite the ->last_type before anyone has a chance to look at it,
or we'll fail, in which case nobody will be looking at ->last_type at all.

2) pick_link() from step_into() from walk_component() from lookup_last().
The value is never looked at due to the above; it won't affect the value
seen at return from any link_path_walk().

3) pick_link() from step_into() from do_last().  Ditto.

In other words, assignemnt in pick_link() is pointless, and so is
LAST_BIND itself; nothing ever looks at that value.  Kill it off.
And make link_path_walk() _always_ assign ->last_type - in the only
case when the value at the entry might survive to the return that value
is always LAST_ROOT, inherited from path_init().  Move that assignment
from path_init() into the beginning of link_path_walk(), to consolidate
the things.

Historical note: LAST_BIND used to be used for the kludge with trailing
pure jump symlinks (extra iteration through the top-level loop).
No point keeping it anymore...

Al Viro 161aff1d93 LOOKUP_MOUNTPOINT: fold path_mountpointat() into path_lookupat()
New LOOKUP flag, telling path_lookupat() to act as path_mountpointat().
IOW, traverse mounts at the final point and skip revalidation of the

Linus Torvalds 6aee4badd8 Merge branch 'work.openat2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull openat2 support from Al Viro:
 "This is the openat2() series from Aleksa Sarai.

  I'm afraid that the rest of namei stuff will have to wait - it got
  zero review the last time I'd posted #work.namei, and there had been a
  leak in the posted series I'd caught only last weekend. I was going to
  repost it on Monday, but the window opened and the odds of getting any
  review during that... Oh, well.

  Anyway, openat2 part should be ready; that _did_ get sane amount of
  review and public testing, so here it comes"

From Aleksa's description of the series:
 "For a very long time, extending openat(2) with new features has been
  incredibly frustrating. This stems from the fact that openat(2) is
  possibly the most famous counter-example to the mantra "don't silently
  accept garbage from userspace" -- it doesn't check whether unknown
  flags are present[1].

  This means that (generally) the addition of new flags to openat(2) has
  been fraught with backwards-compatibility issues (O_TMPFILE has to be
  defined as __O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY|[O_RDWR or O_WRONLY] to ensure old
  kernels gave errors, since it's insecure to silently ignore the
  flag[2]). All new security-related flags therefore have a tough road
  to being added to openat(2).

  Furthermore, the need for some sort of control over VFS's path
  resolution (to avoid malicious paths resulting in inadvertent
  breakouts) has been a very long-standing desire of many userspace
  applications.

  This patchset is a revival of Al Viro's old AT_NO_JUMPS[3] patchset
  (which was a variant of David Drysdale's O_BENEATH patchset[4] which
  was a spin-off of the Capsicum project[5]) with a few additions and
  changes made based on the previous discussion within [6] as well as
  others I felt were useful.

  In line with the conclusions of the original discussion of
  AT_NO_JUMPS, the flag has been split up into separate flags. However,
  instead of being an openat(2) flag it is provided through a new
  syscall openat2(2) which provides several other improvements to the
  openat(2) interface (see the patch description for more details). The
  following new LOOKUP_* flags are added:

  LOOKUP_NO_XDEV:

     Blocks all mountpoint crossings (upwards, downwards, or through
     absolute links). Absolute pathnames alone in openat(2) do not
     trigger this. Magic-link traversal which implies a vfsmount jump is
     also blocked (though magic-link jumps on the same vfsmount are
     permitted).

  LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS:

     Blocks resolution through /proc/$pid/fd-style links. This is done
     by blocking the usage of nd_jump_link() during resolution in a
     filesystem. The term "magic-links" is used to match with the only
     reference to these links in Documentation/, but I'm happy to change
     the name.

     It should be noted that this is different to the scope of
     ~LOOKUP_FOLLOW in that it applies to all path components. However,
     you can do openat2(NO_FOLLOW|NO_MAGICLINKS) on a magic-link and it
     will *not* fail (assuming that no parent component was a
     magic-link), and you will have an fd for the magic-link.

     In order to correctly detect magic-links, the introduction of a new
     LOOKUP_MAGICLINK_JUMPED state flag was required.

  LOOKUP_BENEATH:

     Disallows escapes to outside the starting dirfd's
     tree, using techniques such as ".." or absolute links. Absolute
     paths in openat(2) are also disallowed.

     Conceptually this flag is to ensure you "stay below" a certain
     point in the filesystem tree -- but this requires some additional
     to protect against various races that would allow escape using
     "..".

     Currently LOOKUP_BENEATH implies LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS, because it
     can trivially beam you around the filesystem (breaking the
     protection). In future, there might be similar safety checks done
     as in LOOKUP_IN_ROOT, but that requires more discussion.

  In addition, two new flags are added that expand on the above ideas:

  LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS:

     Does what it says on the tin. No symlink resolution is allowed at
     all, including magic-links. Just as with LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS this
     can still be used with NOFOLLOW to open an fd for the symlink as
     long as no parent path had a symlink component.

  LOOKUP_IN_ROOT:

     This is an extension of LOOKUP_BENEATH that, rather than blocking
     attempts to move past the root, forces all such movements to be
     scoped to the starting point. This provides chroot(2)-like
     protection but without the cost of a chroot(2) for each filesystem
     operation, as well as being safe against race attacks that
     chroot(2) is not.

     If a race is detected (as with LOOKUP_BENEATH) then an error is
     generated, and similar to LOOKUP_BENEATH it is not permitted to
     cross magic-links with LOOKUP_IN_ROOT.

     The primary need for this is from container runtimes, which
     currently need to do symlink scoping in userspace[7] when opening
     paths in a potentially malicious container.

     There is a long list of CVEs that could have bene mitigated by
     having RESOLVE_THIS_ROOT (such as CVE-2017-1002101,
     CVE-2017-1002102, CVE-2018-15664, and CVE-2019-5736, just to name a
     few).

  In order to make all of the above more usable, I'm working on
  libpathrs[8] which is a C-friendly library for safe path resolution.
  It features a userspace-emulated backend if the kernel doesn't support
  openat2(2). Hopefully we can get userspace to switch to using it, and
  thus get openat2(2) support for free once it's ready.

  Future work would include implementing things like
  RESOLVE_NO_AUTOMOUNT and possibly a RESOLVE_NO_REMOTE (to allow
  programs to be sure they don't hit DoSes though stale NFS handles)"

Al Viro c64cd6e34e reimplement path_mountpoint() with less magic
... and get rid of a bunch of bugs in it.  Background:
the reason for path_mountpoint() is that umount() really doesn't
want attempts to revalidate the root of what it's trying to umount.
The thing we want to avoid actually happen from complete_walk();
solution was to do something parallel to normal path_lookupat()
and it both went overboard and got the boilerplate subtly
(and not so subtly) wrong.

A better solution is to do pretty much what the normal path_lookupat()
does, but instead of complete_walk() do unlazy_walk().  All it takes
to avoid that ->d_weak_revalidate() call...  mountpoint_last() goes
away, along with everything it got wrong, and so does the magic around
LOOKUP_NO_REVAL.

Another source of bugs is that when we traverse mounts at the final
location (and we need to do that - umount . expects to get whatever's
overmounting ., if any, out of the lookup) we really ought to take
care of ->d_manage() - as it is, manual umount of autofs automount
in progress can lead to unpleasant surprises for the daemon.  Easily
solved by using handle_lookup_down() instead of follow_mount().

Aleksa Sarai 8db52c7e7e namei: LOOKUP_IN_ROOT: chroot-like scoped resolution
/* Background. */
Container runtimes or other administrative management processes will
often interact with root filesystems while in the host mount namespace,
because the cost of doing a chroot(2) on every operation is too
prohibitive (especially in Go, which cannot safely use vfork). However,
a malicious program can trick the management process into doing
operations on files outside of the root filesystem through careful
crafting of symlinks.

Most programs that need this feature have attempted to make this process
safe, by doing all of the path resolution in userspace (with symlinks
being scoped to the root of the malicious root filesystem).
Unfortunately, this method is prone to foot-guns and usually such
implementations have subtle security bugs.

Thus, what userspace needs is a way to resolve a path as though it were
in a chroot(2) -- with all absolute symlinks being resolved relative to
the dirfd root (and ".." components being stuck under the dirfd root).
It is much simpler and more straight-forward to provide this
functionality in-kernel (because it can be done far more cheaply and
correctly).

More classical applications that also have this problem (which have
their own potentially buggy userspace path sanitisation code) include
web servers, archive extraction tools, network file servers, and so on.

/* Userspace API. */
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT will be exposed to userspace through openat2(2).

/* Semantics. */
Unlike most other LOOKUP flags (most notably LOOKUP_FOLLOW),
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT applies to all components of the path.

With LOOKUP_IN_ROOT, any path component which attempts to cross the
starting point of the pathname lookup (the dirfd passed to openat) will
remain at the starting point. Thus, all absolute paths and symlinks will
be scoped within the starting point.

There is a slight change in behaviour regarding pathnames -- if the
pathname is absolute then the dirfd is still used as the root of
resolution of LOOKUP_IN_ROOT is specified (this is to avoid obvious
foot-guns, at the cost of a minor API inconsistency).

As with LOOKUP_BENEATH, Jann's security concern about ".."[1] applies to
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT -- therefore ".." resolution is blocked. This restriction
will be lifted in a future patch, but requires more work to ensure that
permitting ".." is done safely.

Magic-link jumps are also blocked, because they can beam the path lookup
across the starting point. It would be possible to detect and block
only the "bad" crossings with path_is_under() checks, but it's unclear
whether it makes sense to permit magic-links at all. However, userspace
is recommended to pass LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS if they want to ensure that
magic-link crossing is entirely disabled.

/* Testing. */
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT is tested as part of the openat2(2) selftests.

Aleksa Sarai adb21d2b52 namei: LOOKUP_BENEATH: O_BENEATH-like scoped resolution
/* Background. */
There are many circumstances when userspace wants to resolve a path and
ensure that it doesn't go outside of a particular root directory during
resolution. Obvious examples include archive extraction tools, as well as
other security-conscious userspace programs. FreeBSD spun out O_BENEATH
from their Capsicum project[1,2], so it also seems reasonable to
implement similar functionality for Linux.

This is part of a refresh of Al's AT_NO_JUMPS patchset[3] (which was a
variation on David Drysdale's O_BENEATH patchset[4], which in turn was
based on the Capsicum project[5]).

Unlike most other LOOKUP flags (most notably LOOKUP_FOLLOW),
LOOKUP_BENEATH applies to all components of the path.

With LOOKUP_BENEATH, any path component which attempts to "escape" the
starting point of the filesystem lookup (the dirfd passed to openat)
will yield -EXDEV. Thus, all absolute paths and symlinks are disallowed.

Due to a security concern brought up by Jann[6], any ".." path
components are also blocked. This restriction will be lifted in a future
patch, but requires more work to ensure that permitting ".." is done
safely.

Magic-link jumps are also blocked, because they can beam the path lookup
across the starting point. It would be possible to detect and block
only the "bad" crossings with path_is_under() checks, but it's unclear

Aleksa Sarai 72ba29297e namei: LOOKUP_NO_XDEV: block mountpoint crossing
/* Background. */
The need to contain path operations within a mountpoint has been a
long-standing usecase that userspace has historically implemented
manually with liberal usage of stat(). find, rsync, tar and
many other programs implement these semantics -- but it'd be much
simpler to have a fool-proof way of refusing to open a path if it
crosses a mountpoint.

Aleksa Sarai 4b99d49969 namei: LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS: block magic-link resolution
/* Background. */
There has always been a special class of symlink-like objects in procfs
(and a few other pseudo-filesystems) which allow for non-lexical
resolution of paths using nd_jump_link(). These "magic-links" do not
follow traditional mount namespace boundaries, and have been used
consistently in container escape attacks because they can be used to
trick unsuspecting privileged processes into resolving unexpected paths.

It is also non-trivial for userspace to unambiguously avoid resolving
magic-links, because they do not have a reliable indication that they
are a magic-link (in order to verify them you'd have to manually open
the path given by readlink(2) and then verify that the two file
descriptors reference the same underlying file, which is plagued with
possible race conditions or supplementary attack scenarios).

It would therefore be very helpful for userspace to be able to avoid
these symlinks easily, thus hopefully removing a tool from attackers'
toolboxes.

This is part of a refresh of Al's AT_NO_JUMPS patchset[1] (which was a
variation on David Drysdale's O_BENEATH patchset[2], which in turn was
based on the Capsicum project[3]).

With LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS, any magic-link path component encountered
during path resolution will yield -ELOOP. The handling of ~LOOKUP_FOLLOW
for a trailing magic-link is identical to LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS.

LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS implies LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS.

LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS is tested as part of the openat2(2) selftests.

Aleksa Sarai 278121417a namei: LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS: block symlink resolution
/* Background. */
Userspace cannot easily resolve a path without resolving symlinks, and
would have to manually resolve each path component with O_PATH and
O_NOFOLLOW. This is clearly inefficient, and can be fairly easy to screw
up (resulting in possible security bugs). Linus has mentioned that Git
has a particular need for this kind of flag[1]. It also resolves a
fairly long-standing perceived deficiency in O_NOFOLLOw -- that it only
blocks the opening of trailing symlinks.

This is part of a refresh of Al's AT_NO_JUMPS patchset[2] (which was a
variation on David Drysdale's O_BENEATH patchset[3], which in turn was

Most of the callers of lookup_one_len_unlocked() treat negatives are
ERR_PTR(-ENOENT).  Provide a helper that would do just that.  Note
that a pinned positive dentry remains positive - it's ->d_inode is
stable, etc.; a pinned _negative_ dentry can become positive at any
point as long as you are not holding its parent at least shared.
So using lookup_one_len_unlocked() needs to be careful;
lookup_positive_unlocked() is safer and that's what the callers

Al Viro 84a2bd3940 fs/namei.c: keep track of nd->root refcount status
The rules for nd->root are messy:
	* if we have LOOKUP_ROOT, it doesn't contribute to refcounts
	* if we have LOOKUP_RCU, it doesn't contribute to refcounts
	* if nd->root.mnt is NULL, it doesn't contribute to refcounts
	* otherwise it does contribute

terminate_walk() needs to drop the references if they are contributing.
So everything else should be careful not to confuse it, leading to
rather convoluted code.

It's easier to keep track of whether we'd grabbed the reference(s)
explicitly.  Use a new flag for that.  Don't bother with zeroing
nd->root.mnt on unlazy failures and in terminate_walk - it's not
needed anymore (terminate_walk() won't care and the next path_init()
will zero nd->root in !LOOKUP_ROOT case anyway).

Resulting rules for nd->root refcounts are much simpler: they are
contributing iff LOOKUP_ROOT_GRABBED is set in nd->flags.

Richard Guy Briggs 57d4657716 audit: ignore fcaps on umount
Don't fetch fcaps when umount2 is called to avoid a process hang while
it waits for the missing resource to (possibly never) re-appear.

Note the comment above user_path_mountpoint_at():
 * A umount is a special case for path walking. We're not actually interested
 * in the inode in this situation, and ESTALE errors can be a problem.  We
 * simply want track down the dentry and vfsmount attached at the mountpoint
 * and avoid revalidating the last component.

This can happen on ceph, cifs, 9p, lustre, fuse (gluster) or NFS.

David Howells 0da0b7fd73 afs: Display manually added cells in dynamic root mount
Alter the dynroot mount so that cells created by manipulation of
/proc/fs/afs/cells and /proc/fs/afs/rootcell and by specification of a root
cell as a module parameter will cause directories for those cells to be
created in the dynamic root superblock for the network namespace[*].

To this end:

 (1) Only one dynamic root superblock is now created per network namespace
     and this is shared between all attempts to mount it.  This makes it
     easier to find the superblock to modify.

 (2) When a dynamic root superblock is created, the list of cells is walked
     and directories created for each cell already defined.

 (3) When a new cell is added, if a dynamic root superblock exists, a
     directory is created for it.

 (4) When a cell is destroyed, the directory is removed.

 (5) These directories are created by calling lookup_one_len() on the root
     dir which automatically creates them if they don't exist.

[*] Inasmuch as network namespaces are currently supported here.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Linus Torvalds 20d00ee829 Revert "vfs: add lookup_hash() helper"
This reverts commit 3c9fe8cdff.

As Miklos points out in commit c1b2cc1a76, the "lookup_hash()" helper
is now unused, and in fact, with the hash salting changes, since the
hash of a dentry name now depends on the directory dentry it is in, the
helper function isn't even really likely to be useful.

So rather than keep it around in case somebody else might end up finding
a use for it, let's just remove the helper and not trick people into
thinking it might be a useful thing.

For example, I had obviously completely missed how the helper didn't
follow the normal dentry hashing patterns, and how the hash salting
patch broke overlayfs.  Things would quietly build and look sane, but
not work.

Eric W. Biederman eedf265aa0 devpts: Make each mount of devpts an independent filesystem.
The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts"
in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in.  If
there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx
uses that filesystem.  Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails.

The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that
userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new
instance of the filesystem.

Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem.

Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the
mounter is in the initial mount namespace.

A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry
named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the
passed in path to point to it.  The helper path_pts uses a function
path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot.

In the implementation of devpts:
 - devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of
   devpts are equal.
 - pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached
   inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem.
 - devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx.  And the
   unnecessary inode hold is removed.
 - devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a
   deacrivate_super.
 - The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now
   ignored.

In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as
they are never used.

Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current
situation.

This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5,
centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3,
ubuntu-15.10, fedora23, magia-5, mint-17.3, opensuse-42.1,
slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01.  With the
caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being
two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower
copy does not end up getting used.

NeilBrown bbddca8e8f nfsd: don't hold i_mutex over userspace upcalls
We need information about exports when crossing mountpoints during
lookup or NFSv4 readdir.  If we don't already have that information
cached, we may have to ask (and wait for) rpc.mountd.

In both cases we currently hold the i_mutex on the parent of the
directory we're asking rpc.mountd about.  We've seen situations where
rpc.mountd performs some operation on that directory that tries to take
the i_mutex again, resulting in deadlock.

With some care, we may be able to avoid that in rpc.mountd.  But it
seems better just to avoid holding a mutex while waiting on userspace.

It appears that lookup_one_len is pretty much the only operation that
needs the i_mutex.  So we could just drop the i_mutex elsewhere and do
something like

	mutex_lock()
	lookup_one_len()
	mutex_unlock()

In many cases though the lookup would have been cached and not required
the i_mutex, so it's more efficient to create a lookup_one_len() variant
that only takes the i_mutex when necessary.

* RCU-delayed freeing of vfsmounts
* vfsmount_lock replaced with a seqlock (mount_lock)
* sequence number from mount_lock is stored in nameidata->m_seq and
used when we exit RCU mode
* new vfsmount flag - MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT.  Set by umount_tree() when its
caller knows that vfsmount will have no surviving references.
* synchronize_rcu() done between unlocking namespace_sem in namespace_unlock()
and doing pending mntput().
* new helper: legitimize_mnt(mnt, seq).  Checks the mount_lock sequence
number against seq, then grabs reference to mnt.  Then it rechecks mount_lock
again to close the race and either returns success or drops the reference it
has acquired.  The subtle point is that in case of MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT we can
simply decrement the refcount and sod off - aforementioned synchronize_rcu()
makes sure that final mntput() won't come until we leave RCU mode.  We need
that, since we don't want to end up with some lazy pathwalk racing with
umount() and stealing the final mntput() from it - caller of umount() may
expect it to return only once the fs is shut down and we don't want to break
that.  In other cases (i.e. with MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT absent) we have to do
full-blown mntput() in case of mount_lock sequence number mismatch happening
just as we'd grabbed the reference, but in those cases we won't be stealing
the final mntput() from anything that would care.
* mntput_no_expire() doesn't lock anything on the fast path now.  Incidentally,
SMP and UP cases are handled the same way - no ifdefs there.
* normal pathname resolution does *not* do any writes to mount_lock.  It does,
of course, bump the refcounts of vfsmount and dentry in the very end, but that's
it.

Jeff Layton 8033426e6b vfs: allow umount to handle mountpoints without revalidating them
Christopher reported a regression where he was unable to unmount a NFS
filesystem where the root had gone stale. The problem is that
d_revalidate handles the root of the filesystem differently from other
dentries, but d_weak_revalidate does not. We could simply fix this by
making d_weak_revalidate return success on IS_ROOT dentries, but there
are cases where we do want to revalidate the root of the fs.

A umount is really a special case. We generally aren't interested in
anything but the dentry and vfsmount that's attached at that point. If
the inode turns out to be stale we just don't care since the intent is
to stop using it anyway.

Try to handle this situation better by treating umount as a special
case in the lookup code. Have it resolve the parent using normal
means, and then do a lookup of the final dentry without revalidating
it. In most cases, the final lookup will come out of the dcache, but
the case where there's a trailing symlink or !LAST_NORM entry on the
end complicates things a bit.

Since the commit below which added O_PATH support to the *at() calls, the
error return for readlink/readlinkat for the empty pathname has switched
from ENOENT to EINVAL:

  commit 65cfc67223
  Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
  Date:   Sun Mar 13 15:56:26 2011 -0400

    readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames

This is both unexpected for userspace and makes readlink/readlinkat
inconsistant with all other interfaces; and inconsistant with our stated
return for these pathnames.

As the readlinkat call does not have a flags parameter we cannot use the
AT_EMPTY_PATH approach used in the other calls.  Therefore expose whether
the original path is infact entry via a new user_path_at_empty() path
lookup function.  Use this to determine whether to default to EINVAL or
ENOENT for failures.

Linus Torvalds b6c8069d35 vfs: remove LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag
That flag no longer makes sense, since we don't look up automount points
as eagerly any more.  Additionally, it turns out that the NO_AUTOMOUNT
handling was buggy to begin with: it would avoid automounting even for
cases where we really *needed* to do the automount handling, and could
return ENOENT for autofs entries that hadn't been instantiated yet.

With our new non-eager automount semantics, one discussion has been
about adding a AT_AUTOMOUNT flag to vfs_fstatat (and thus the
newfstatat() and fstatat64() system calls), but it's probably not worth
it: you can always force at least directory automounting by simply
adding the final '/' to the filename, which works for *all* of the stat
family system calls, old and new.

So AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT (and thus LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT) really were just a
result of our bad default behavior.

Linus Torvalds d94c177bee vfs pathname lookup: Add LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag
Since we've now turned around and made LOOKUP_FOLLOW *not* force an
automount, we want to add the ability to force an automount event on
lookup even if we don't happen to have one of the other flags that force
it implicitly (LOOKUP_OPEN, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY, LOOKUP_PARENT..)

Most cases will never want to use this, since you'd normally want to
delay automounting as long as possible, which usually implies
LOOKUP_OPEN (when we open a file or directory, we really cannot avoid
the automount any more).

But Trond argued sufficiently forcefully that at a minimum bind mounting
a file and quotactl will want to force the automount lookup.  Some other
cases (like nfs_follow_remote_path()) could use it too, although
LOOKUP_DIRECTORY would work there as well.

This commit just adds the flag and logic, no users yet, though.  It also
doesn't actually touch the LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag that is related, and
was made irrelevant by the same change that made us not follow on
LOOKUP_FOLLOW.

Al Viro f52e0c1130 New AT_... flag: AT_EMPTY_PATH
For name_to_handle_at(2) we'll want both ...at()-style syscall that
would be usable for non-directory descriptors (with empty relative
pathname).  Introduce new flag (AT_EMPTY_PATH) to deal with that and
corresponding LOOKUP_EMPTY; teach user_path_at() and path_init() to
deal with the latter.

Al Viro 5b6ca027d8 reduce vfs_path_lookup() to do_path_lookup()
New lookup flag: LOOKUP_ROOT.  nd->root is set (and held) by caller,
path_init() starts walking from that place and all pathname resolution
machinery never drops nd->root if that flag is set.  That turns
vfs_path_lookup() into a special case of do_path_lookup() *and*
gets us down to 3 callers of link_path_walk(), making it finally
feasible to rip the handling of trailing symlink out of link_path_walk().
That will not only simply the living hell out of it, but make life
much simpler for unionfs merge.  Trailing symlink handling will
become iterative, which is a good thing for stack footprint in
a lot of situations as well.
