Eric has reported that since commit d2faa41516 "quota: Do not acquire
dqio_sem for dquot overwrites in v2 format" test generic/232
occasionally fails due to quota information being incorrect. Indeed that
commit was too eager to remove dqio_sem completely from the path that
just overwrites quota structure with updated information. Although that
is innocent on its own, another process that inserts new quota structure
to the same block can perform read-modify-write cycle of that block thus
effectively discarding quota information update if they race in a wrong
way.
Fix the problem by acquiring dqio_sem for reading for overwrites of
quota structure. Note that it *is* possible to completely avoid taking
dqio_sem in the overwrite path however that will require modifying path
inserting / deleting quota structures to avoid RMW cycles of the full
block and for now it is not clear whether it is worth the hassle.

dq_data_lock is currently used to protect all modifications of quota
accounting information, consistency of quota accounting on the inode,
and dquot pointers from inode. As a result contention on the lock can be
pretty heavy.
Reduce the contention on the lock by protecting quota accounting
information by a new dquot->dq_dqb_lock and consistency of quota
accounting with inode usage by inode->i_lock.
This change reduces time to create 500000 files on ext4 on ramdisk by 50
different processes in separate directories by 6% when user quota is
turned on. When those 50 processes belong to 50 different users, the
improvement is about 9%.

Ext4 ea_inode feature allows storing xattr values in external inodes to
be able to store values that are bigger than a block in size. Ext4 also
has deduplication support for these type of inodes. With deduplication,
the actual storage waste is eliminated but the users of such inodes are
still charged full quota for the inodes as if there was no sharing
happening in the background.
This design requires ext4 to manually charge the users because the
inodes are shared.
An implication of this is that, if someone calls chown on a file that
has such references we need to transfer the quota for the file and xattr
inodes. Current dquot_transfer() function implicitly transfers one inode
charge. With ea_inode feature, we would like to transfer multiple inode
charges.
Add get_inode_usage callback which can interrogate the total number of
inodes that were charged for a given inode.

Writeback quota is protected by s_umount semaphore held for reading
because every writeback must be protected by that lock (grabbed either
by the generic writeback code or by quotactl handler). Getting next
available ID in quota file, querying quota state, setting quota
information, getting quota format are all quotactl operations protected
by s_umount semaphore held for reading grabbed in quotactl handler.
This also fixes lockdep splat about possible deadlock during filesystem
freezing where sync_filesystem() is called with page-faults already
blocked but sync_filesystem() calls into dquot_writeback_dquots() which
grabs dqonoff_mutex which ranks above i_mutex (vfs_load_quota_inode()
grabs i_mutex under dqonoff_mutex) which clearly ranks below page fault
freeze protection (e.g. via mmap_sem dependencies). The reported problem
is not a real deadlock possibility since during quota on we check
whether filesystem freezing is not in progress but still it is good to
have this fixed.

Static family IDs have never really been used, the only
use case was the workaround I introduced for those users
that assumed their family ID was also their multicast
group ID.
Additionally, because static family IDs would never be
reserved by the generic netlink code, using a relatively
low ID would only work for built-in families that can be
registered immediately after generic netlink is started,
which is basically only the control family (apart from
the workaround code, which I also had to add code for so
it would reserve those IDs)
Thus, anything other than GENL_ID_GENERATE is flawed and
luckily not used except in the cases I mentioned. Move
those workarounds into a few lines of code, and then get
rid of GENL_ID_GENERATE entirely, making it more robust.

Pull userns vfs updates from Eric Biederman:
"This tree contains some very long awaited work on generalizing the
user namespace support for mounting filesystems to include filesystems
with a backing store. The real world target is fuse but the goal is
to update the vfs to allow any filesystem to be supported. This
patchset is based on a lot of code review and testing to approach that
goal.
While looking at what is needed to support the fuse filesystem it
became clear that there were things like xattrs for security modules
that needed special treatment. That the resolution of those concerns
would not be fuse specific. That sorting out these general issues
made most sense at the generic level, where the right people could be
drawn into the conversation, and the issues could be solved for
everyone.
At a high level what this patchset does a couple of simple things:
- Add a user namespace owner (s_user_ns) to struct super_block.
- Teach the vfs to handle filesystem uids and gids not mapping into
to kuids and kgids and being reported as INVALID_UID and
INVALID_GID in vfs data structures.
By assigning a user namespace owner filesystems that are mounted with
only user namespace privilege can be detected. This allows security
modules and the like to know which mounts may not be trusted. This
also allows the set of uids and gids that are communicated to the
filesystem to be capped at the set of kuids and kgids that are in the
owning user namespace of the filesystem.
One of the crazier corner casees this handles is the case of inodes
whose i_uid or i_gid are not mapped into the vfs. Most of the code
simply doesn't care but it is easy to confuse the inode writeback path
so no operation that could cause an inode write-back is permitted for
such inodes (aka only reads are allowed).
This set of changes starts out by cleaning up the code paths involved
in user namespace permirted mounts. Then when things are clean enough
adds code that cleanly sets s_user_ns. Then additional restrictions
are added that are possible now that the filesystem superblock
contains owner information.
These changes should not affect anyone in practice, but there are some
parts of these restrictions that are changes in behavior.
- Andy's restriction on suid executables that does not honor the
suid bit when the path is from another mount namespace (think
/proc/[pid]/fd/) or when the filesystem was mounted by a less
privileged user.
- The replacement of the user namespace implicit setting of MNT_NODEV
with implicitly setting SB_I_NODEV on the filesystem superblock
instead.
Using SB_I_NODEV is a stronger form that happens to make this state
user invisible. The user visibility can be managed but it caused
problems when it was introduced from applications reasonably
expecting mount flags to be what they were set to.
There is a little bit of work remaining before it is safe to support
mounting filesystems with backing store in user namespaces, beyond
what is in this set of changes.
- Verifying the mounter has permission to read/write the block device
during mount.
- Teaching the integrity modules IMA and EVM to handle filesystems
mounted with only user namespace root and to reduce trust in their
security xattrs accordingly.
- Capturing the mounters credentials and using that for permission
checks in d_automount and the like. (Given that overlayfs already
does this, and we need the work in d_automount it make sense to
generalize this case).
Furthermore there are a few changes that are on the wishlist:
- Get all filesystems supporting posix acls using the generic posix
acls so that posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user and
posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user may be removed. [Maintainability]
- Reducing the permission checks in places such as remount to allow
the superblock owner to perform them.
- Allowing the superblock owner to chown files with unmapped uids and
gids to something that is mapped so the files may be treated
normally.
I am not considering even obvious relaxations of permission checks
until it is clear there are no more corner cases that need to be
locked down and handled generically.
Many thanks to Seth Forshee who kept this code alive, and putting up
with me rewriting substantial portions of what he did to handle more
corner cases, and for his diligent testing and reviewing of my
changes"
