The top "events" directory has a static inode (it's created when it is and
removed when the directory is removed). There's no need to use the events
ei->attr to determine its permissions. But it is used for saving the
permissions of the "events" directory for when it is created, as that is
needed for the default permissions for the files and directories
underneath it.
For example:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# mkdir instances/foo
# chown 1001 instances/foo/events
The files under instances/foo/events should still have the same owner as
instances/foo (which the instances/foo/events ei->attr will hold), but the
events directory now has owner 1001.

The permissions being set during the creation of the inodes was updating
eventfs_inode attributes as well. Those attributes should only be touched
by the setattr or remount operations, not during the creation of inodes.
The eventfs_inode attributes should only be used to set the inodes and
should not be modified during the inode creation.
Simplify the code and fix the situation by:
1) Removing the eventfs_find_events() and doing a simple lookup for
the events descriptor in eventfs_get_inode()
2) Remove update_events_attr() as the attributes should only be used
to update the inode and should not be modified here.
3) Add update_inode_attr() that uses the attributes to determine what
the inode permissions should be.
4) As the parent_inode of the eventfs_root_inode structure is no longer
needed, remove it.
Now on creation, the inode gets the proper permissions without causing
side effects to the ei->attr field.

Now that inodes have their permissions updated on remount, the only other
places to update the inode permissions are when they are created and in
the setattr callback. The getattr and permission callbacks are not needed
as the inodes should already be set at their proper settings.
Remove the callbacks, as it not only simplifies the code, but also allows
more flexibility to fix the inconsistencies with various corner cases
(like changing the permission of an instance directory).

To simplify the code, create a eventfs_get_inode() that is used when an
eventfs file or directory is created. Have the internal tracefs_inode
updated the appropriate flags in this function and update the inode's
mode as well.

When the inode is being dropped from the dentry, the TRACEFS_EVENT_INODE
flag needs to be cleared to prevent a remount from calling
eventfs_remount() on the tracefs_inode private data. There's a race
between the inode is dropped (and the dentry freed) to where the inode is
actually freed. If a remount happens between the two, the eventfs_inode
could be accessed after it is freed (only the dentry keeps a ref count on
it).
Currently the TRACEFS_EVENT_INODE flag is cleared from the dentry iput()
function. But this is incorrect, as it is possible that the inode has
another reference to it. The flag should only be cleared when the inode is
really being dropped and has no more references. That happens in the
drop_inode callback of the inode, as that gets called when the last
reference of the inode is released.
Remove the tracefs_d_iput() function and move its logic to the more
appropriate tracefs_drop_inode() callback function.

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.

When a remount happens, if a gid or uid is specified update the inodes to
have the same gid and uid. This will allow the simplification of the

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.

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

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.

If the instances directory's permissions were never change, then have it
and its children use the mount point permissions as the default.
Currently, the permissions of instance directories are determined by the
instance directory's permissions itself. But if the tracefs file system is
remounted and changes the permissions, the instance directory and its
children should use the new permission.
But because both the instance directory and its children use the instance
directory's inode for permissions, it misses the update.
To demonstrate this:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# mkdir instances/foo
# ls -ld instances/foo
drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:07 instances/foo
# ls -ld instances
drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 18:57 instances
# ls -ld current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 18:57 current_tracer
# mount -o remount,gid=1002 .
# ls -ld instances
drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 18:57 instances
# ls -ld instances/foo/
drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:07 instances/foo/
# ls -ld current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:57 current_tracer
Notice that changing the group id to that of "lkp" did not affect the
instances directory nor its children. It should have been:
# ls -ld current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 19:19 current_tracer
# ls -ld instances/foo/
drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:25 instances/foo/
# ls -ld instances
drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 19:19 instances
# mount -o remount,gid=1002 .
# ls -ld current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 19:19 current_tracer
# ls -ld instances
drwxr-x--- 3 root lkp 0 May 1 19:19 instances
# ls -ld instances/foo/
drwxr-x--- 5 root lkp 0 May 1 19:25 instances/foo/
Where all files were updated by the remount gid update.

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.

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.

Yes, yes, I know the slab people were planning on going slow and letting
every subsystem fight this thing on their own. But let's just rip off
the band-aid and get it over and done with. I don't want to see a
number of unnecessary pull requests just to get rid of a flag that no
longer has any meaning.
This was mainly done with a couple of 'sed' scripts and then some manual
cleanup of the end result.

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.

eventfs uses the tracefs_inode and assumes that it's already initialized
to zero. That is, it doesn't set fields to zero (like ti->private) after
getting its tracefs_inode. This causes bugs due to stale values.
Just initialize the entire structure to zero on allocation so there isn't
any more surprises.
This is a partial fix to access to ti->private. The assignment still needs
to be made before the dentry is instantiated.

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,

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

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

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.

In order to apply a shortcut to skip over the current ctx->pos
immediately, by using the ei->entries array, the reading of that array
should be first. Moving the array reading before the linked list reading
will make the shortcut change diff nicer to read.

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.

A flag was needed to denote which eventfs_inode was the "events"
directory, so a bit was taken from the "nr_entries" field, as there's not
that many entries, and 2^30 is plenty. But the bit number for nr_entries
was not updated to reflect the bit taken from it, which would add an
unnecessary integer to the structure.

If a getdents() is called on the tracefs directory but does not get all
the files, it can leave a "cursor" dentry in the d_subdirs list of tracefs
dentry. This cursor dentry does not have a d_inode for it. Before
referencing tracefs_inode from the dentry, the d_inode must first be
checked if it has content. If not, then it's not a tracefs_inode and can
be ignored.
The following caused a crash:
#define getdents64(fd, dirp, count) syscall(SYS_getdents64, fd, dirp, count)
#define BUF_SIZE 256
#define TDIR "/tmp/file0"
int main(void)
{
char buf[BUF_SIZE];
int fd;
int n;
mkdir(TDIR, 0777);
mount(NULL, TDIR, "tracefs", 0, NULL);
fd = openat(AT_FDCWD, TDIR, O_RDONLY);
n = getdents64(fd, buf, BUF_SIZE);
ret = mount(NULL, TDIR, NULL, MS_NOSUID|MS_REMOUNT|MS_RELATIME|MS_LAZYTIME,
"gid=1000");
return 0;
}
That's because the 256 BUF_SIZE was not big enough to read all the
dentries of the tracefs file system and it left a "cursor" dentry in the
subdirs of the tracefs root inode. Then on remounting with "gid=1000",
it would cause an iteration of all dentries which hit:
ti = get_tracefs(dentry->d_inode);
if (ti && (ti->flags & TRACEFS_EVENT_INODE))
eventfs_update_gid(dentry, gid);
Which crashed because of the dereference of the cursor dentry which had a NULL
d_inode.
In the subdir loop of the dentry lookup of set_gid(), if a child has a
NULL d_inode, simply skip it.

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 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

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.

This has caused me to encounter a problem where the gid I specified in

situation:

gid 3012 = readtracefs
/data/tmp # ls -lh

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.
