[ Upstream commit 340f0c7067a95281ad13734f8225f49c6cf52067 ]
The change to update the permissions of the eventfs_inode had the
misconception that using the tracefs_inode would find all the
eventfs_inodes that have been updated and reset them on remount.
The problem with this approach is that the eventfs_inodes are freed when
they are no longer used (basically the reason the eventfs system exists).
When they are freed, the updated eventfs_inodes are not reset on a remount
because their tracefs_inodes have been freed.
Instead, since the events directory eventfs_inode always has a
tracefs_inode pointing to it (it is not freed when finished), and the
events directory has a link to all its children, have the
eventfs_remount() function only operate on the events eventfs_inode and
have it descend into its children updating their uid and gids.

commit 8898e7f288c47d450a3cf1511c791a03550c0789 upstream.
The directories require unique inode numbers but all the eventfs files
have the same inode number. Prevent the directories from having the same
inode numbers as the files as that can confuse some tooling.

commit d4e9a968738bf66d3bb852dd5588d4c7afd6d7f4 upstream.
In function eventfs_find_events,there is a potential null pointer
that may be caused by calling update_events_attr which will perform
some operations on the members of the ei struct when ei is NULL.
Hence,When ei->is_freed is set,return NULL directly.

The events directory gets its permissions from the root inode. But this
can cause an inconsistency if the instances directory changes its
permissions, as the permissions of the created directories under it should
inherit the permissions of the instances directory when directories under
it are created.
Currently the behavior is:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# chgrp 1002 instances
# mkdir instances/foo
# ls -l instances/foo
[..]
-r--r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 buffer_total_size_kb
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 error_log
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 May 1 18:55 events
--w------- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 free_buffer
drwxr-x--- 2 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 options
drwxr-x--- 10 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 per_cpu
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 set_event
All the files and directories under "foo" has the "lkp" group except the
"events" directory. That's because its getting its default value from the
mount point instead of its parent.
Have the "events" directory make its default value based on its parent's
permissions. That now gives:
# ls -l instances/foo
[..]
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 buffer_subbuf_size_kb
-r--r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 buffer_total_size_kb
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 current_tracer

Treat the events directory the same as other directories when it comes to
permissions. The events directory was considered different because it's
dentry is persistent, whereas the other directory dentries are created
when accessed. But the way tracefs now does its ownership by using the
root dentry's permissions as the default permissions, the events directory
can get out of sync when a remount is performed setting the group and user
permissions.
Remove the special case for the events directory on setting the
attributes. This allows the updates caused by remount to work properly as
well as simplifies the code.

The toplevel events directory is really no different than the events
directory of instances. Having the two be different caused
inconsistencies and made it harder to fix the permissions bugs.
Make all events directories act the same.

There's an inconsistency with the way permissions are handled in tracefs.
Because the permissions are generated when accessed, they default to the
root inode's permission if they were never set by the user. If the user
sets the permissions, then a flag is set and the permissions are saved via
the inode (for tracefs files) or an internal attribute field (for
eventfs).
But if a remount happens that specify the permissions, all the files that
were not changed by the user gets updated, but the ones that were are not.
If the user were to remount the file system with a given permission, then
all files and directories within that file system should be updated.
This can cause security issues if a file's permission was updated but the
admin forgot about it. They could incorrectly think that remounting with
permissions set would update all files, but miss some.
For example:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# chgrp 1002 current_tracer
# ls -l
[..]
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_size_kb
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_subbuf_size_kb
-r--r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_total_size_kb
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:25 current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 dynamic_events
-r--r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 dyn_ftrace_total_info
-r--r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 enabled_functions
Where current_tracer now has group "lkp".
# mount -o remount,gid=1001 .
# ls -l
-rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_size_kb
-rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_subbuf_size_kb
-r--r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_total_size_kb
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:25 current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 dynamic_events
-r--r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 dyn_ftrace_total_info
-r--r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 enabled_functions
Everything changed but the "current_tracer".
Add a new link list that keeps track of all the tracefs_inodes which has
the permission flags that tell if the file/dir should use the root inode's
permission or not. Then on remount, clear all the flags so that the
default behavior of using the root inode's permission is done for all
files and directories.

The freeing of eventfs_inode via a kfree_rcu() callback. But the content
of the eventfs_inode was being freed after the last kref. This is
dangerous, as changes are being made that can access the content of an
eventfs_inode from an RCU loop.
Instead of using kfree_rcu() use call_rcu() that calls a function to do
all the freeing of the eventfs_inode after a RCU grace period has expired.

Synthetic events create and destroy tracefs files when they are created
and removed. The tracing subsystem has its own file descriptor
representing the state of the events attached to the tracefs files.
There's a race between the eventfs files and this file descriptor of the
tracing system where the following can cause an issue:
With two scripts 'A' and 'B' doing:
Script 'A':
echo "hello int aaa" > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
while :
do
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/hello/enable
done
Script 'B':
echo > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
Script 'A' creates a synthetic event "hello" and then just writes zero
into its enable file.
Script 'B' removes all synthetic events (including the newly created
"hello" event).
What happens is that the opening of the "enable" file has:
{
struct trace_event_file *file = inode->i_private;
int ret;
ret = tracing_check_open_get_tr(file->tr);
[..]
But deleting the events frees the "file" descriptor, and a "use after
free" happens with the dereference at "file->tr".
The file descriptor does have a reference counter, but there needs to be a
way to decrement it from the eventfs when the eventfs_inode is removed
that represents this file descriptor.
Add an optional "release" callback to the eventfs_entry array structure,
that gets called when the eventfs file is about to be removed. This allows
for the creating on the eventfs file to increment the tracing file
descriptor ref counter. When the eventfs file is deleted, it can call the
release function that will call the put function for the tracing file
descriptor.
This will protect the tracing file from being freed while a eventfs file
that references it is being opened.

Only the root "events" directory stores a dentry. There's no reason to
hold a dentry pointer for every eventfs_inode as it is never set except
for the root "events" eventfs_inode.
Create a eventfs_root_inode structure that holds the events_dir dentry.
The "events" eventfs_inode *is* special, let it have its own descriptor.

There's a couple of if statements in eventfs_root_lookup() that should
never be true. Instead of removing them, add WARN_ON_ONCE() around them.
One is a tracefs_inode not being for eventfs.
The other is a child being freed but still on the parent's children
list. When a child is freed, it is removed from the list under the
same mutex that is held during the iteration.

The directory link count in eventfs was somewhat bogus. It was only being
updated when a directory child was being looked up and not on creation.
One solution would be to update in get_attr() the link count by iterating
the ei->children list and then adding 2. But that could slow down simple
stat() calls, especially if it's done on all directories in eventfs.
Another solution would be to add a parent pointer to the eventfs_inode
and keep track of the number of sub directories it has on creation. But
this adds overhead for something not really worthwhile.
The solution decided upon is to keep all directory links in eventfs as 1.
This tells user space not to rely on the hard links of directories. Which
in this case it shouldn't.

The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without
actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally
broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries
going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually
work since it's not ordered wrt lookups.
There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry:
- the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable
dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating().
And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in
eventfs_remove_events_dir().
This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events
directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of
the eventfs data structures.
- the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there
are dentries that refer to it.
It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing
reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only
ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child
dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the
parent ei.
This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one
valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any
random dentry.
The magic child dentry array that is kind of a "reverse reference list"
is simply replaced by having child dentries take a ref to the ei. As
does the directory dentries. That makes the broken use case go away.

In order for the dentries to stay up-to-date with the eventfs changes,
just add a 'd_revalidate' function that checks the 'is_freed' bit.
Also, clean up the dentry release to actually use d_release() rather
than the slightly odd d_iput() function. We don't care about the inode,
all we want to do is to get rid of the refcount to the eventfs data
added by dentry->d_fsdata.
It would probably be cleaner to make eventfs its own filesystem, or at
least set its own dentry ops when looking up eventfs files. But as it
is, only eventfs dentries use d_fsdata, so we don't really need to split
these things up by use.
Another thing that might be worth doing is to make all eventfs lookups
mark their dentries as not worth caching. We could do that with
d_delete(), but the DCACHE_DONTCACHE flag would likely be even better.
As it is, the dentries are all freeable, but they only tend to get freed
at memory pressure rather than more proactively. But that's a separate
issue.

The dentry lookup for eventfs files was very broken, and had lots of
signs of the old situation where the filesystem names were all created
statically in the dentry tree, rather than being looked up dynamically
based on the eventfs data structures.
You could see it in the naming - how it claimed to "create" dentries
rather than just look up the dentries that were given it.
You could see it in various nonsensical and very incorrect operations,
like using "simple_lookup()" on the dentries that were passed in, which
only results in those dentries becoming negative dentries. Which meant
that any other lookup would possibly return ENOENT if it saw that
negative dentry before the data was then later filled in.
You could see it in the immense amount of nonsensical code that didn't
actually just do lookups.

The eventfs_find_events() code tries to walk up the tree to find the
event directory that a dentry belongs to, in order to then find the
eventfs inode that is associated with that event directory.
However, it uses an odd combination of walking the dentry parent,
looking up the eventfs inode associated with that, and then looking up
the dentry from there. Repeat.
But the code shouldn't have back-pointers to dentries in the first
place, and it should just walk the dentry parenthood chain directly.
Similarly, 'set_top_events_ownership()' looks up the dentry from the
eventfs inode, but the only reason it wants a dentry is to look up the
superblock in order to look up the root dentry.
But it already has the real filesystem inode, which has that same
superblock pointer. So just pass in the superblock pointer using the
information that's already there, instead of looking up extraneous data
that is irrelevant.

The eventfs inodes and directories are allocated when referenced. But this
leaves the issue of keeping consistent inode numbers and the number is
only saved in the inode structure itself. When the inode is no longer
referenced, it can be freed. When the file that the inode was representing
is referenced again, the inode is once again created, but the inode number
needs to be the same as it was before.
Just making the inode numbers the same for all files is fine, but that
does not work with directories. The find command will check for loops via
the inode number and having the same inode number for directories triggers:
# find /sys/kernel/tracing
find: File system loop detected;
'/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/initcall/initcall_finish' is part of the same file system loop as
'/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/initcall'.
[..]
Linus pointed out that the eventfs_inode structure ends with a single
32bit int, and on 64 bit machines, there's likely a 4 byte hole due to
alignment. We can use this hole to store the inode number for the
eventfs_inode. All directories in eventfs are represented by an
eventfs_inode and that data structure can hold its inode number.
That last int was also purposely placed at the end of the structure to
prevent holes from within. Now that there's a 4 byte number to hold the
inode, both the inode number and the last integer can be moved up in the
structure for better cache locality, where the llist and rcu fields can be
moved to the end as they are only used when the eventfs_inode is being
deleted.

As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead
to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the
caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear
overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.
So, use the purpose specific kcalloc() function instead of the argument
size * count in the kzalloc() function.

The original eventfs code added a wrapper around the dcache_readdir open
callback and created all the dentries and inodes at open, and increment
their ref count. A wrapper was added around the dcache_readdir release
function to decrement all the ref counts of those created inodes and
dentries. But this proved to be buggy[1] for when a kprobe was created
during a dir read, it would create a dentry between the open and the
release, and because the release would decrement all ref counts of all
files and directories, that would include the kprobe directory that was
not there to have its ref count incremented in open. This would cause the
ref count to go to negative and later crash the kernel.
To solve this, the dentries and inodes that were created and had their ref
count upped in open needed to be saved. That list needed to be passed from
the open to the release, so that the release would only decrement the ref
counts of the entries that were incremented in the open.
Unfortunately, the dcache_readdir logic was already using the
file->private_data, which is the only field that can be used to pass
information from the open to the release. What was done was the eventfs
created another descriptor that had a void pointer to save the
dcache_readdir pointer, and it wrapped all the callbacks, so that it could
save the list of entries that had their ref counts incremented in the
open, and pass it to the release. The wrapped callbacks would just put
back the dcache_readdir pointer and call the functions it used so it could
still use its data[2].
But Linus had an issue with the "hijacking" of the file->private_data
(unfortunately this discussion was on a security list, so no public link).
Which we finally agreed on doing everything within the iterate_shared
callback and leave the dcache_readdir out of it[3]. All the information
needed for the getents() could be created then.
But this ended up being buggy too[4]. The iterate_shared callback was not
the right place to create the dentries and inodes. Even Christian Brauner
had issues with that[5].
An attempt was to go back to creating the inodes and dentries at
the open, create an array to store the information in the
file->private_data, and pass that information to the other callbacks.[6]
The difference between that and the original method, is that it does not
use dcache_readdir. It also does not up the ref counts of the dentries and
pass them. Instead, it creates an array of a structure that saves the
dentry's name and inode number. That information is used in the
iterate_shared callback, and the array is freed in the dir release. The
dentries and inodes created in the open are not used for the iterate_share
or release callbacks. Just their names and inode numbers.
Linus did not like that either[7] and just wanted to remove the dentries
being created in iterate_shared and use the hard coded inode numbers.
[ All this while Linus enjoyed an unexpected vacation during the merge
window due to lack of power. ]

The dentries and inodes are created in the readdir for the sole purpose of
getting a consistent inode number. Linus stated that is unnecessary, and
that all inodes can have the same inode number. For a virtual file system
they are pretty meaningless.
Instead use a single unique inode number for all files and one for all
directories.

As the ei->entries array is fixed for the duration of the eventfs_inode,
it can be used to skip over already read entries in eventfs_iterate().
That is, if ctx->pos is greater than zero, there's no reason in doing the
loop across the ei->entries array for the entries less than ctx->pos.
Instead, start the lookup of the entries at the current ctx->pos.

The ctx->pos was only updated when it added an entry, but the "skip to
current pos" check (c--) happened for every loop regardless of if the
entry was added or not. This inconsistency caused readdir to be incorrect.
It was due to:
for (i = 0; i < ei->nr_entries; i++) {
if (c > 0) {
c--;
continue;
}
mutex_lock(&eventfs_mutex);
/* If ei->is_freed then just bail here, nothing more to do */
if (ei->is_freed) {
mutex_unlock(&eventfs_mutex);
goto out;
}
r = entry->callback(name, &mode, &cdata, &fops);
mutex_unlock(&eventfs_mutex);
[..]
ctx->pos++;
}
But this can cause the iterator to return a file that was already read.
That's because of the way the callback() works. Some events may not have
all files, and the callback can return 0 to tell eventfs to skip the file
for this directory.
for instance, we have:
# ls /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/function
format hist hist_debug id inject
and
# ls /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/
enable filter format hist hist_debug id inject trigger
Where the function directory is missing "enable", "filter" and
"trigger". That's because the callback() for events has:
static int event_callback(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data,
const struct file_operations **fops)
{
struct trace_event_file *file = *data;
struct trace_event_call *call = file->event_call;
[..]
/*
* Only event directories that can be enabled should have
* triggers or filters, with the exception of the "print"
* event that can have a "trigger" file.
*/
if (!(call->flags & TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE)) {
if (call->class->reg && strcmp(name, "enable") == 0) {
*mode = TRACE_MODE_WRITE;
*fops = &ftrace_enable_fops;
return 1;
}
if (strcmp(name, "filter") == 0) {
*mode = TRACE_MODE_WRITE;
*fops = &ftrace_event_filter_fops;
return 1;
}
}
if (!(call->flags & TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE) ||
strcmp(trace_event_name(call), "print") == 0) {
if (strcmp(name, "trigger") == 0) {
*mode = TRACE_MODE_WRITE;
*fops = &event_trigger_fops;
return 1;
}
}
[..]
return 0;
}
Where the function event has the TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE set.
This means that the entries array elements for "enable", "filter" and
"trigger" when called on the function event will have the callback return
0 and not 1, to tell eventfs to skip these files for it.
Because the "skip to current ctx->pos" check happened for all entries, but
the ctx->pos++ only happened to entries that exist, it would confuse the
reading of a directory. Which would cause:
# ls /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/function/
format hist hist hist_debug hist_debug id inject inject
The missing "enable", "filter" and "trigger" caused ls to show "hist",
"hist_debug" and "inject" twice.
Update the ctx->pos for every iteration to keep its update and the "skip"
update consistent. This also means that on error, the ctx->pos needs to be
decremented if it was incremented without adding something.

If ei->is_freed is set in eventfs_iterate(), it means that the directory
that is being iterated on is in the process of being freed. Just exit the
loop immediately when that is ever detected, and separate out the return
of the entry->callback() from ei->is_freed.

Instead of walking the dentries on mount/remount to update the gid values of
all the dentries if a gid option is specified on mount, just update the root
inode. Add .getattr, .setattr, and .permissions on the tracefs inode
operations to update the permissions of the files and directories.
For all files and directories in the top level instance:
/sys/kernel/tracing/*
It will use the root inode as the default permissions. The inode that
represents: /sys/kernel/tracing (or wherever it is mounted).
When an instance is created:
mkdir /sys/kernel/tracing/instance/foo
The directory "foo" and all its files and directories underneath will use
the default of what foo is when it was created. A remount of tracefs will
not affect it.
If a user were to modify the permissions of any file or directory in
tracefs, it will also no longer be modified by a change in ownership of a
remount.
The events directory, if it is in the top level instance, will use the
tracefs root inode as the default ownership for itself and all the files and
directories below it.
For the events directory in an instance ("foo"), it will keep the ownership
of what it was when it was created, and that will be used as the default
ownership for the files and directories beneath it.

The eventfs creates dynamically allocated dentries and inodes. Using the
dcache_readdir() logic for its own directory lookups requires hiding the
cursor of the dcache logic and playing games to allow the dcache_readdir()
to still have access to the cursor while the eventfs saved what it created
and what it needs to release.
Instead, just have eventfs have its own iterate_shared callback function
that will fill in the dent entries. This simplifies the code quite a bit.

The "lookup" parameter is a way to differentiate the call to
create_file/dir_dentry() from when it's just a lookup (no need to up the
dentry refcount) and accessed via a readdir (need to up the refcount).
But reality, it just makes the code more complex. Just up the refcount and
let the caller decide to dput() the result or not.

It was reported that when mounting the tracefs file system with a gid
other than root, the ownership did not carry down to the eventfs directory
due to the dynamic nature of it.
A fix was done to solve this, but it had two issues.
(a) if the attr passed into update_inode_attr() was NULL, it didn't do
anything. This is true for files that have not had a chown or chgrp
done to itself or any of its sibling files, as the attr is allocated
for all children when any one needs it.
# umount /sys/kernel/tracing
# mount -o rw,seclabel,relatime,gid=1000 -t tracefs nodev /mnt
# ls -ld /mnt/events/sched
drwxr-xr-x 28 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/
# ls -ld /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch
drwxr-xr-x 2 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch/
But when checking the files:
# ls -l /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch
total 0
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 enable
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 filter
-r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 format
-r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 hist
-r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 id
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 trigger
(b) When the attr does not denote the UID or GID, it defaulted to using
the parent uid or gid. This is incorrect as changing the parent
uid or gid will automatically change all its children.
# chgrp tracing /mnt/events/timer
# ls -ld /mnt/events/timer
drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:34 /mnt/events/timer

At first it was thought that this could be easily fixed by just making the
default ownership of the superblock when it was mounted. But this does not
handle the case of:
# chgrp tracing instances
# mkdir instances/foo
If the superblock was used, then the group ownership would be that of what
it was when it was mounted, when it should instead be "tracing".
Instead, set a flag for the top level eventfs directory ("events") to flag
which eventfs_inode belongs to it.
Since the "events" directory's dentry and inode are never freed, it does
not need to use its attr field to restore its mode and ownership. Use the
this eventfs_inode's attr as the default ownership for all the files and
directories underneath it.
When the events eventfs_inode is created, it sets its ownership to its
parent uid and gid. As the events directory is created at boot up before
it gets mounted, this will always be uid=0 and gid=0. If it's created via
an instance, then it will take the ownership of the instance directory.
When the file system is mounted, it will update all the gids if one is
specified. This will have a callback to update the events evenfs_inode's
default entries.
When a file or directory is created under the events directory, it will
walk the ei->dentry parents until it finds the evenfs_inode that belongs
to the events directory to retrieve the default uid and gid values.

It will prevent certain applications from accessing tracefs properly, I
try to avoid this issue by making the following modifications.
To fix this, have the files created default to taking the ownership of
the parent dentry unless the ownership was previously set by the user.

Eventfs uses simple_lookup(), however, it will fail if the name of the
entry is beyond NAME_MAX length. When this error is encountered, eventfs
still tries to create dentries instead of skipping the dentry creation.
When the dentry is attempted to be created in this state d_wait_lookup()
will loop forever, waiting for the lookup to be removed.
Fix eventfs to return the error in simple_lookup() back to the caller
instead of continuing to try to create the dentry.

The both create_file_dentry() and create_dir_dentry() takes a boolean
parameter "lookup", as on lookup the inode_lock should already be taken,
but for dcache_dir_open_wrapper() it is not taken.
There's no reason that the dcache_dir_open_wrapper() can't take the
inode_lock before calling these functions. In fact, it's better if it
does, as the lock can be held throughout both directory and file
creations.
This also simplifies the code, and possibly prevents unexpected race
conditions when the lock is released.

If memory reclaim happens, it can reclaim file system pages. The file
system pages from eventfs may take the eventfs_mutex on reclaim. This
means that allocation while holding the eventfs_mutex must not call into
filesystem reclaim. A lockdep splat uncovered this.

With the call to simple_recursive_removal() on the entire eventfs sub
system when the directory is removed, it performs the d_invalidate on all
the dentries when it is removed. There's no need to do clean ups when a
dentry is being created while the directory is being deleted.
As dentries are cleaned up by the simpler_recursive_removal(), trying to
do d_invalidate() in these functions will cause the dentry to be
invalidated twice, and crash the kernel.

The logic to free the eventfs_inode (ei) use to set is_freed and clear the
"dentry" field under the eventfs_mutex. But that changed when a race was
found where the ei->dentry needed to be cleared when the last dput() was
called on it. But there was still logic that checked if ei->dentry was not
NULL and is_freed is set, and would warn if it was.
But since that situation was changed and the ei->dentry isn't cleared
until the last dput() is called on it while the ei->is_freed is set, do
not test for that condition anymore, and change the comments to reflect
that.

Looking at how dentry is removed via the tracefs system, I found that
eventfs does not do everything that it did under tracefs. The tracefs
removal of a dentry calls simple_recursive_removal() that does a lot more
than a simple d_invalidate().
As it should be a requirement that any eventfs_inode that has a dentry, so
does its parent. When removing a eventfs_inode, if it has a dentry, a call
to simple_recursive_removal() on that dentry should clean up all the
dentries underneath it.
Add WARN_ON_ONCE() to check for the parent having a dentry if any children
do.

There exists a race between holding a reference of an eventfs_inode dentry
and the freeing of the eventfs_inode. If user space has a dentry held long
enough, it may still be able to access the dentry's eventfs_inode after it
has been freed.
To prevent this, have he eventfs_inode freed via the last dput() (or via
RCU if the eventfs_inode does not have a dentry).
This means reintroducing the eventfs_inode del_list field at a temporary
place to put the eventfs_inode. It needs to mark it as freed (via the
list) but also must invalidate the dentry immediately as the return from
eventfs_remove_dir() expects that they are. But the dentry invalidation
must not be called under the eventfs_mutex, so it must be done after the
eventfs_inode is marked as free (put on a deletion list).

The callback function that is used to create inodes and dentries is not
protected by anything and the data that is passed to it could become
stale. After eventfs_remove_dir() is called by the tracing system, it is
free to remove the events that are associated to that directory.
Unfortunately, that means the callbacks must not be called after that.
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
eventfs_root_lookup() {
eventfs_remove_dir() {
mutex_lock(&event_mutex);
ei->is_freed = set;
mutex_unlock(&event_mutex);
}
kfree(event_call);
for (...) {
entry = &ei->entries[i];
r = entry->callback() {
call = data; // call == event_call above
if (call->flags ...)
[ USE AFTER FREE BUG ]
The safest way to protect this is to wrap the callback with:
mutex_lock(&eventfs_mutex);
if (!ei->is_freed)
r = entry->callback();
else
r = -1;
mutex_unlock(&eventfs_mutex);
This will make sure that the callback will not be called after it is
freed. But now it needs to be known that the callback is called while
holding internal eventfs locks, and that it must not call back into the
eventfs / tracefs system. There's no reason it should anyway, but document
that as well.

Now that inodes and dentries are created on the fly, they are also
reclaimed on memory pressure. Since the ownership and file mode are saved
in the inode, if they are freed, any changes to the ownership and mode
will be lost.
To counter this, if the user changes the permissions or ownership, save
them, and when creating the inodes again, restore those changes.

The eventfs_inode (ei) is protected by SRCU, but the ei->dentry is not. It
is protected by the eventfs_mutex. Anytime the eventfs_mutex is released,
and access to the ei->dentry needs to be done, it should first check if
ei->is_freed is set under the eventfs_mutex. If it is, then the ei->dentry
is invalid and must not be used. The ei->dentry must only be accessed
under the eventfs_mutex and after checking if ei->is_freed is set.
When the ei is being freed, it will (under the eventfs_mutex) set is_freed
and at the same time move the dentry to a free list to be cleared after
the eventfs_mutex is released. This means that any access to the
ei->dentry must check first if ei->is_freed is set, because if it is, then
the dentry is on its way to be freed.
Also add comments to describe this better.

As the eventfs_inode is freed in two different locations, make a helper
function free_ei() to make sure all the allocated fields of the
eventfs_inode is freed.
This requires renaming the existing free_ei() which is called by the srcu
handler to free_rcu_ei() and have free_ei() just do the freeing, where
free_rcu_ei() will call it.

The eventfs_inode->is_freed was a union with the rcu_head with the
assumption that when it was on the srcu list the head would contain a
pointer which would make "is_freed" true. But that was a wrong assumption
as the rcu head is a single link list where the last element is NULL.
Instead, split the nr_entries integer so that "is_freed" is one bit and
the nr_entries is the next 31 bits. As there shouldn't be more than 10
(currently there's at most 5 to 7 depending on the config), this should
not be a problem.
