ovl_{read,write}_iter() always call fdput(real) to put one or zero
refcounts of the real file, but for aio, whether it was submitted or not,
ovl_aio_put() also calls fdput(), which is not balanced. This is only a
problem in the less common case when FDPUT_FPUT flag is set.
To fix the problem use get_file() to take file refcount and use fput()
instead of fdput() in ovl_aio_put().

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual filesystems.
Features:
- Block mode changes on symlinks and rectify our broken semantics
- Report file modifications via fsnotify() for splice
- Allow specifying an explicit timeout for the "rootwait" kernel
command line option. This allows to timeout and reboot instead of
always waiting indefinitely for the root device to show up
- Use synchronous fput for the close system call
Cleanups:
- Get rid of open-coded lockdep workarounds for async io submitters
and replace it all with a single consolidated helper
- Simplify epoll allocation helper
- Convert simple_write_begin and simple_write_end to use a folio
- Convert page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm() to use a folio
- Simplify __range_close to avoid pointless locking
- Disable per-cpu buffer head cache for isolated cpus
- Port ecryptfs to kmap_local_page() api
- Remove redundant initialization of pointer buf in pipe code
- Unexport the d_genocide() function which is only used within core
vfs
- Replace printk(KERN_ERR) and WARN_ON() with WARN()
Fixes:
- Fix various kernel-doc issues
- Fix refcount underflow for eventfds when used as EFD_SEMAPHORE
- Fix a mainly theoretical issue in devpts
- Check the return value of __getblk() in reiserfs
- Fix a racy assert in i_readcount_dec
- Fix integer conversion issues in various functions
- Fix LSM security context handling during automounts that prevented
NFS superblock sharing"

The new digest field in the metacopy xattr is used during lookup to
record whether the header contained a digest in the OVL_HAS_DIGEST
flags.
When accessing file data the first time, if OVL_HAS_DIGEST is set, we
reload the metadata and check that the source lowerdata inode matches
the specified digest in it (according to the enabled verity
options). If the verity check passes we store this info in the inode
flags as OVL_VERIFIED_DIGEST, so that we can avoid doing it again if
the inode remains in memory.
The verification is done in ovl_maybe_validate_verity() which needs to
be called in the same places as ovl_maybe_lookup_lowerdata(), so there
is a new ovl_verify_lowerdata() helper that calls these in the right
order, and all current callers of ovl_maybe_lookup_lowerdata() are
changed to call it instead.

Pull splice updates from Jens Axboe:
"This kills off ITER_PIPE to avoid a race between truncate,
iov_iter_revert() on the pipe and an as-yet incomplete DMA to a bio
with unpinned/unref'ed pages from an O_DIRECT splice read. This causes
memory corruption.
Instead, we either use (a) filemap_splice_read(), which invokes the
buffered file reading code and splices from the pagecache into the
pipe; (b) copy_splice_read(), which bulk-allocates a buffer, reads
into it and then pushes the filled pages into the pipe; or (c) handle
it in filesystem-specific code.
Summary:
- Rename direct_splice_read() to copy_splice_read()
- Simplify the calculations for the number of pages to be reclaimed
in copy_splice_read()
- Turn do_splice_to() into a helper, vfs_splice_read(), so that it
can be used by overlayfs and coda to perform the checks on the
lower fs
- Make vfs_splice_read() jump to copy_splice_read() to handle
direct-I/O and DAX
- Provide shmem with its own splice_read to handle non-existent pages
in the pagecache. We don't want a ->read_folio() as we don't want
to populate holes, but filemap_get_pages() requires it
- Provide overlayfs with its own splice_read to call down to a lower
layer as overlayfs doesn't provide ->read_folio()
- Provide coda with its own splice_read to call down to a lower layer
as coda doesn't provide ->read_folio()
- Direct ->splice_read to copy_splice_read() in tty, procfs, kernfs
and random files as they just copy to the output buffer and don't
splice pages
- Provide wrappers for afs, ceph, ecryptfs, ext4, f2fs, nfs, ntfs3,
ocfs2, orangefs, xfs and zonefs to do locking and/or revalidation
- Make cifs use filemap_splice_read()
- Replace pointers to generic_file_splice_read() with pointers to
filemap_splice_read() as DIO and DAX are handled in the caller;
filesystems can still provide their own alternate ->splice_read()

Overlayfs creates the real underlying files with fake f_path, whose
f_inode is on the underlying fs and f_path on overlayfs.
Those real files were open with FMODE_NONOTIFY, because fsnotify code was
not prapared to handle fsnotify hooks on files with fake path correctly
and fanotify would report unexpected event->fd with fake overlayfs path,
when the underlying fs was being watched.
Teach fsnotify to handle events on the real files, and do not set real
files to FMODE_NONOTIFY to allow operations on real file (e.g. open,
access, modify, close) to generate async and permission events.
Because fsnotify does not have notifications on address space
operations, we do not need to worry about ->vm_file not reporting
events to a watched overlayfs when users are accessing a mapped
overlayfs file.

Overlayfs uses open_with_fake_path() to allocate internal kernel files,
with a "fake" path - whose f_path is not on the same fs as f_inode.
Allocate a container struct backing_file for those internal files, that
is used to hold the "fake" ovl path along with the real path.
backing_file_real_path() can be used to access the stored real path.

Defer lookup of lowerdata in the data-only layers to first data access
or before copy up.
We perform lowerdata lookup before copy up even if copy up is metadata
only copy up. We can further optimize this lookup later if needed.
We do best effort lazy lookup of lowerdata for d_real_inode(), because
this interface does not expect errors. The only current in-tree caller
of d_real_inode() is trace_uprobe and this caller is likely going to be
followed reading from the file, before placing uprobes on offset within
the file, so lowerdata should be available when setting the uprobe.

Make the code handle the case of numlower > 1 and missing lowerdata

Missing lowerdata dentry is an indication for lazy lookup of lowerdata

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

Currently various places test if direct IO is possible on a file by
checking for the existence of the direct_IO address space operation.
This is a poor choice, as the direct_IO operation may not be used - it is
only used if the generic_file_*_iter functions are called for direct IO
and some filesystems - particularly NFS - don't do this.
Instead, introduce a new f_mode flag: FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT and change the
various places to check this (avoiding pointer dereferences).
do_dentry_open() will set this flag if ->direct_IO is present, so
filesystems do not need to be changed.
NFS *is* changed, to set the flag explicitly and discard the direct_IO
entry in the address_space_operations for files.
Other filesystems which currently use noop_direct_IO could usefully be
changed to set this flag instead.

When copying inode attributes from the upper or lower layer to ovl inodes
we need to take the upper or lower layer's mount's idmapping into
account. In a lot of places we call ovl_copyattr() only on upper inodes and
in some we call it on either upper or lower inodes. Split this into two
separate helpers.
The first one should only be called on upper
inodes and is thus called ovl_copy_upperattr(). The second one can be
called on upper or lower inodes. We add ovl_copy_realattr() for this
task. The new helper makes use of the previously added ovl_i_path_real()
helper. This is needed to support idmapped base layers with overlay.
When overlay copies the inode information from an upper or lower layer
to the relevant overlay inode it will apply the idmapping of the upper
or lower layer when doing so. The ovl inode ownership will thus always
correctly reflect the ownership of the idmapped upper or lower layer.
All idmapping helpers are nops when no idmapped base layers are used.

There's possibility of an ABBA deadlock in case of a splice write to an
overlayfs file and a concurrent splice write to a corresponding real file.
The call chain for splice to an overlay file:
-> do_splice [takes sb_writers on overlay file]
-> do_splice_from
-> iter_file_splice_write [takes pipe->mutex]
-> vfs_iter_write
...
-> ovl_write_iter [takes sb_writers on real file]
And the call chain for splice to a real file:
-> do_splice [takes sb_writers on real file]
-> do_splice_from
-> iter_file_splice_write [takes pipe->mutex]
Syzbot successfully bisected this to commit 82a763e61e2b ("ovl: simplify
file splice").
Fix by reverting the write part of the above commit and by adding missing
bits from ovl_write_iter() into ovl_splice_write().

Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some
time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or
directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes
with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more
filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and
maintainers.
Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here
are just a few:
- Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between
multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex
scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the
implementation of portable home directories in
systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home
directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple
computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This
effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at
login time.
- It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged
containers without having to change ownership permanently through
chown(2).
- It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to
mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the
user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their
Linux subsystem.
- It is possible to share files between containers with
non-overlapping idmappings.
- Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can
use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC)
permission checking.
- They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount
basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In
contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is
instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when
ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or
container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall
mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of
all files.
- Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as
idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped
to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself
take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It
simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is
especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of
files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home
directory and container and vm scenario.
- Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it
to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only
apply as long as the mount exists.
Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and
pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull
this:
- systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away
in their implementation of portable home directories.
https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/
- container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between
host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged
containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in
containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite
a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734
- The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest
in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is
ported.
- ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers.
I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed
here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the
mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of
talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones:
https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdf
https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/
This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and
xfs:
https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts
It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid
execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and
non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs
setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will
be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to
merge this.
In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with
user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to
map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace.
The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not
idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the
testsuite.
Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users
to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
currently marked with.
The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by
passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an
argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new
MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern
of extensibility.
The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped
mount:
- The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the
user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in.
- The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts.
- The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the
idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped.
- The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have
been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag
and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem.
The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the
kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler.
By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no
behavioral or performance changes are observed.
The manpage with a detailed description can be found here:
https://git.kernel.org/brauner/man-pages/c/1d7b902e2875a1ff342e036a9f866a995640aea8
In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed
and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The
patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or
complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and
xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and
will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify
that port has been done correctly.
The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped
mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most
valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform
mounts based on file descriptors only.
Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2()
RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time
we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and
path resolution.
While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount
proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not
possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in
the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing.
With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last
restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api,
covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the
crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount
tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This
syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and
projects.
There is a simple tool available at
https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped
that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this
patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you
decide to pull this in the following weeks:

Overlayfs's volatile option allows the user to bypass all forced sync calls
to the upperdir filesystem. This comes at the cost of safety. We can never
ensure that the user's data is intact, but we can make a best effort to
expose whether or not the data is likely to be in a bad state.
The best way to handle this in the time being is that if an overlayfs's
upperdir experiences an error after a volatile mount occurs, that error
will be returned on fsync, fdatasync, sync, and syncfs. This is
contradictory to the traditional behaviour of VFS which fails the call
once, and only raises an error if a subsequent fsync error has occurred,
and been raised by the filesystem.
One awkward aspect of the patch is that we have to manually set the
superblock's errseq_t after the sync_fs callback as opposed to just
returning an error from syncfs. This is because the call chain looks
something like this:
sys_syncfs ->
sync_filesystem ->
__sync_filesystem ->
/* The return value is ignored here
sb->s_op->sync_fs(sb)
_sync_blockdev
/* Where the VFS fetches the error to raise to userspace */
errseq_check_and_advance
Because of this we call errseq_set every time the sync_fs callback occurs.
Due to the nature of this seen / unseen dichotomy, if the upperdir is an
inconsistent state at the initial mount time, overlayfs will refuse to
mount, as overlayfs cannot get a snapshot of the upperdir's errseq that
will increment on error until the user calls syncfs.

The inode_owner_or_capable() helper determines whether the caller is the
owner of the inode or is capable with respect to that inode. Allow it to
handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped
mount it according to the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks
are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is
passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical
behavior as before.
Similarly, allow the inode_init_owner() helper to handle idmapped
mounts. It initializes a new inode on idmapped mounts by mapping the
fsuid and fsgid of the caller from the mount's user namespace. If the
initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts
will see identical behavior as before.

The two helpers inode_permission() and generic_permission() are used by
the vfs to perform basic permission checking by verifying that the
caller is privileged over an inode. In order to handle idmapped mounts
we extend the two helpers with an additional user namespace argument.
On idmapped mounts the two helpers will make sure to map the inode
according to the mount's user namespace and then peform identical
permission checks to inode_permission() and generic_permission(). If the
initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts
will see identical behavior as before.

generic_file_splice_read() and iter_file_splice_write() will call back into
f_op->iter_read() and f_op->iter_write() respectively. These already do
the real file lookup and cred override. So the code in ovl_splice_read()
and ovl_splice_write() is redundant.
In addition the ovl_file_accessed() call in ovl_splice_write() is
incorrect, though probably harmless.
Fix by calling generic_file_splice_read() and iter_file_splice_write()
directly.

ovl_ioctl_set_flags() does a capability check using flags, but then the
real ioctl double-fetches flags and uses potentially different value.
The "Check the capability before cred override" comment misleading: user
can skip this check by presenting benign flags first and then overwriting
them to non-benign flags.
Just remove the cred override for now, hoping this doesn't cause a
regression.
The proper solution is to create a new setxflags i_op (patches are in the
works).

Container folks are complaining that dnf/yum issues too many sync while
installing packages and this slows down the image build. Build requirement
is such that they don't care if a node goes down while build was still
going on. In that case, they will simply throw away unfinished layer and
start new build. So they don't care about syncing intermediate state to the
disk and hence don't want to pay the price associated with sync.
So they are asking for mount options where they can disable sync on overlay
mount point.
They primarily seem to have two use cases.
- For building images, they will mount overlay with nosync and then sync
upper layer after unmounting overlay and reuse upper as lower for next
layer.
- For running containers, they don't seem to care about syncing upper layer
because if node goes down, they will simply throw away upper layer and
create a fresh one.
So this patch provides a mount option "volatile" which disables all forms
of sync. Now it is caller's responsibility to throw away upper if system
crashes or shuts down and start fresh.
With "volatile", I am seeing roughly 20% speed up in my VM where I am just
installing emacs in an image. Installation time drops from 31 seconds to 25
seconds when nosync option is used. This is for the case of building on top
of an image where all packages are already cached. That way I take out the
network operations latency out of the measurement.
Giuseppe is also looking to cut down on number of iops done on the disk. He
is complaining that often in cloud their VMs are throttled if they cross
the limit. This option can help them where they reduce number of iops (by
cutting down on frequent sync and writebacks).
