no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b
("fs: remove no_llseek")
To quote that commit,
At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -
git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
sed -i '/\<no_llseek\>/d' $i
done
would do it.
Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

Pull networking changes from Jakub Kicinski:
"WiFi 7 and sendpage changes are the biggest pieces of work for this
release. The latter will definitely require fixes but I think that we
got it to a reasonable point.
Core:
- Rework the sendpage & splice implementations
Instead of feeding data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg
handlers to support taking a reference on the data, controlled by a
new flag called MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file to invoke an
additional callback instead of trying to predict what the right
combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is
Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely
- Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to
SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid
- Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT
- Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker
- Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families
Protocols:
- Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent
sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to
tcp_rmem[2]
- Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy
- Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure
that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags
- Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions
linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative
- Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info
(MPTCP_FULL_INFO)
- Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full
record
- Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the
way to issuing ioctls over io_uring
- Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully
encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address
- Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure
in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same
link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch
- PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable
- Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client
(ipconfig)
- Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers
(e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether
packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge)
- Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets
- Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their
printk level to debug
- HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto
- Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4
- Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7
BPF:
- Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows
maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or
in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs,
especially those using open-coded iterators
- Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF
assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data.
But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the
output buffer *should* be, without writing anything
- Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers
- Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper
- Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands
- Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark
maps as read-only)
- Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo
- Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are
self-explanatory):
- Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(),
bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size()
and bpf_dynptr_clone().
- bpf_task_under_cgroup()
- bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets
- bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs
Netfilter:
- Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables. Allow checking
presence of an entry in a map without using the value
- Increase ip_vs_conn_tab_bits range for 64BIT builds
- Allow updating size of a set
- Improve NAT tuple selection when connection is closing
Driver API:
- Integrate netdev with LED subsystem, to allow configuring HW
"offloaded" blinking of LEDs based on link state and activity
(i.e. packets coming in and out)
- Support configuring rate selection pins of SFP modules
- Factor Clause 73 auto-negotiation code out of the drivers, provide
common helper routines
- Add more fool-proof helpers for managing lifetime of MDIO devices
associated with the PCS layer
- Allow drivers to report advanced statistics related to Time Aware
scheduler offload (taprio)

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()
op
- Remove generic_file_splice_read()
- Remove ITER_PIPE and its paraphernalia as generic_file_splice_read
was the only user"

Pull vfs file handling updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains Amir's work to fix a long-standing problem where an
unprivileged overlayfs mount can be used to avoid fanotify permission
events that were requested for an inode or superblock on the
underlying filesystem.
Some background about files opened in overlayfs. If a file is opened
in overlayfs @file->f_path will refer to a "fake" path. What this
means is that while @file->f_inode will refer to inode of the
underlying layer, @file->f_path refers to an overlayfs
{dentry,vfsmount} pair. The reasons for doing this are out of scope
here but it is the reason why the vfs has been providing the
open_with_fake_path() helper for overlayfs for very long time now. So
nothing new here.
This is for sure not very elegant and everyone including the overlayfs
maintainers agree. Improving this significantly would involve more
fragile and potentially rather invasive changes.
In various codepaths access to the path of the underlying filesystem
is needed for such hybrid file. The best example is fsnotify where
this becomes security relevant. Passing the overlayfs
@file->f_path->dentry will cause fsnotify to skip generating fsnotify
events registered on the underlying inode or superblock.
To fix this we extend the vfs provided open_with_fake_path() concept
for overlayfs to create a backing file container that holds the real
path and to expose a helper that can be used by relevant callers to
get access to the path of the underlying filesystem through the new
file_real_path() helper. This pattern is similar to what we do in
d_real() and d_real_inode().
The first beneficiary is fsnotify and fixes the security sensitive
problem mentioned above.
There's a couple of nice cleanups included as well.
Over time, the old open_with_fake_path() helper added specifically for
overlayfs a long time ago started to get used in other places such as
cachefiles. Even though cachefiles have nothing to do with hybrid
files.
The only reason cachefiles used that concept was that files opened
with open_with_fake_path() aren't charged against the caller's open
file limit by raising FMODE_NOACCOUNT. It's just mere coincidence that
both overlayfs and cachefiles need to ensure to not overcharge the
caller for their internal open calls.
So this work disentangles FMODE_NOACCOUNT use cases and backing file
use-cases by adding the FMODE_BACKING flag which indicates that the
file can be used to retrieve the backing file of another filesystem.
(Fyi, Jens will be sending you a really nice cleanup from Christoph
that gets rid of 3 FMODE_* flags otherwise this would be the last
fmode_t bit we'd be using.)
So now overlayfs becomes the sole user of the renamed
open_with_fake_path() helper which is now named backing_file_open().
For internal kernel users such as cachefiles that are only interested
in FMODE_NOACCOUNT but not in FMODE_BACKING we add a new
kernel_file_open() helper which opens a file without being charged
against the caller's open file limit. All new helpers are properly
documented and clearly annotated to mention their special uses.
We also rename vfs_tmpfile_open() to kernel_tmpfile_open() to clearly
distinguish it from vfs_tmpfile() and align it the other kernel_*()
internal helpers"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual fs
Features:
- Use mode 0600 for file created by cachefilesd so it can be run by
unprivileged users. This aligns them with directories which are
already created with mode 0700 by cachefilesd
- Reorder a few members in struct file to prevent some false sharing
scenarios
- Indicate that an eventfd is used a semaphore in the eventfd's
fdinfo procfs file
- Add a missing uapi header for eventfd exposing relevant uapi
defines
- Let the VFS protect transitions of a superblock from read-only to
read-write in addition to the protection it already provides for
transitions from read-write to read-only. Protecting read-only to
read-write transitions allows filesystems such as ext4 to perform
internal writes, keeping writers away until the transition is
completed
Cleanups:
- Arnd removed the architecture specific arch_report_meminfo()
prototypes and added a generic one into procfs.h. Note, we got a
report about a warning in amdpgpu codepaths that suggested this was
bisectable to this change but we concluded it was a false positive
- Remove unused parameters from split_fs_names()
- Rename put_and_unmap_page() to unmap_and_put_page() to let the name
reflect the order of the cleanup operation that has to unmap before
the actual put
- Unexport buffer_check_dirty_writeback() as it is not used outside
of block device aops
- Stop allocating aio rings from highmem
- Protecting read-{only,write} transitions in the VFS used open-coded
barriers in various places. Replace them with proper little helpers
and document both the helpers and all barrier interactions involved
when transitioning between read-{only,write} states
- Use flexible array members in old readdir codepaths
Fixes:
- Use the correct type __poll_t for epoll and eventfd
- Replace all deprecated strlcpy() invocations, whose return value
isn't checked with an equivalent strscpy() call
- Fix some kernel-doc warnings in fs/open.c
- Reduce the stack usage in jffs2's xattr codepaths finally getting
rid of this: fs/jffs2/xattr.c:887:1: error: the frame size of 1088
bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
royally annoying compilation warning
- Use __FMODE_NONOTIFY instead of FMODE_NONOTIFY where an int and not
fmode_t is required to avoid fmode_t to integer degradation
warnings
- Create coredumps with O_WRONLY instead of O_RDWR. There's a long
explanation in that commit how O_RDWR is actually a bug which we
found out with the help of Linus and git archeology
- Fix "no previous prototype" warnings in the pipe codepaths
- Add overflow calculations for remap_verify_area() as a signed
addition overflow could be triggered in xfstests
- Fix a null pointer dereference in sysv
- Use an unsigned variable for length calculations in jfs avoiding
compilation warnings with gcc 13

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.

Replace generic_splice_sendpage() + splice_from_pipe + pipe_to_sendpage()
with a net-specific handler, splice_to_socket(), that calls sendmsg() with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES set instead of calling ->sendpage().
MSG_MORE is used to indicate if the sendmsg() is expected to be followed
with more data.
This allows multiple pipe-buffer pages to be passed in a single call in a
BVEC iterator, allowing the processing to be pushed down to a loop in the
protocol driver. This helps pave the way for passing multipage folios down
too.
Protocols that haven't been converted to handle MSG_SPLICE_PAGES yet should
just ignore it and do a normal sendmsg() for now - although that may be a
bit slower as it may copy everything.

In the syscall test of UnixBench, performance regression occurred due
to false sharing.
The lock and atomic members, including file::f_lock, file::f_count and
file::f_pos_lock are highly contended and frequently updated in the
high-concurrency test scenarios. perf c2c indentified one affected
read access, file::f_op.
To prevent false sharing, the layout of file struct is changed as
following
(A) f_lock, f_count and f_pos_lock are put together to share the same
cache line.
(B) The read mostly members, including f_path, f_inode, f_op are put
into a separate cache line.
(C) f_mode is put together with f_count, since they are used frequently
at the same time.
Due to '__randomize_layout' attribute of file struct, the updated layout
only can be effective when CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_NONE is 'y'.
The optimization has been validated in the syscall test of UnixBench.
performance gain is 30~50%. Furthermore, to confirm the optimization
effectiveness on the other codes path, the results of fsdisk, fsbuffer
and fstime are also shown.
Here are the detailed test results of unixbench.

This reverts commit 9828ed3f69.
Sadly, it does seem to cause failures to load modules. Johan Hovold reports:
"This change breaks module loading during boot on the Lenovo Thinkpad
X13s (aarch64).
Specifically it results in indefinite probe deferral of the display
and USB (ethernet) which makes it a pain to debug. Typing in the dark
to acquire some logs reveals that other modules are missing as well"
Since this was applied late as a "let's try this", I'm reverting it
asap, and we can try to figure out what goes wrong later. The excessive
parallel module loading problem is annoying, but not noticeable in
normal situations, and this was only meant as an optimistic workaround
for a user-space bug.
One possible solution may be to do the optimistic exclusive open first,
and then use a lock to serialize loading if that fails.

It turns out that udev under certain circumstances will concurrently try
to load the same modules over-and-over excessively. This isn't a kernel
bug, but it ends up affecting the kernel, to the point that under
certain circumstances we can fail to boot, because the kernel uses a lot
of memory to read all the module data all at once.
Note that it isn't a memory leak, it's just basically a thundering herd
problem happening at bootup with a lot of CPUs, with the worst cases
then being pretty bad.
Admittedly the worst situations are somewhat contrived: lots and lots of
CPUs, not a lot of memory, and KASAN enabled to make it all slower and
as such (unintentionally) exacerbate the problem.
Luis explains: [1]
"My best assessment of the situation is that each CPU in udev ends up
triggering a load of duplicate set of modules, not just one, but *a
lot*. Not sure what heuristics udev uses to load a set of modules per
CPU."
Petr Pavlu chimes in: [2]
"My understanding is that udev workers are forked. An initial kmod
context is created by the main udevd process but no sharing happens
after the fork. It means that the mentioned memory pool logic doesn't
really kick in.
Multiple parallel load requests come from multiple udev workers, for
instance, each handling an udev event for one CPU device and making
the exactly same requests as all others are doing at the same time.
The optimization idea would be to recognize these duplicate requests
at the udevd/kmod level and converge them"
Note that module loading has tried to mitigate this issue before, see
for example commit 064f4536d1 ("module: avoid allocation if module is
already present and ready"), which has a few ASCII graphs on memory use
due to this same issue.
However, while that noticed that the module was already loaded, and
exited with an error early before spending any more time on setting up
the module, it didn't handle the case of multiple concurrent module
loads all being active - but not complete - at the same time.
Yes, one of them will eventually win the race and finalize its copy, and
the others will then notice that the module already exists and error
out, but while this all happens, we have tons of unnecessary concurrent
work being done.
Again, the real fix is for udev to not do that (maybe it should use
threads instead of fork, and have actual shared data structures and not
cause duplicate work). That real fix is apparently not trivial.
But it turns out that the kernel already has a pretty good model for
dealing with concurrent access to the same file: the i_writecount of the
inode.
In fact, the module loading already indirectly uses 'i_writecount' ,
because 'kernel_file_read()' will in fact do
ret = deny_write_access(file);
if (ret)
return ret;
...
allow_write_access(file);
around the read of the file data. We do not allow concurrent writes to
the file, and return -ETXTBUSY if the file was open for writing at the
same time as the module data is loaded from it.
And the solution to the reader concurrency problem is to simply extend
this "no concurrent writers" logic to simply be "exclusive access".
Note that "exclusive" in this context isn't really some absolute thing:
it's only exclusion from writers and from other "special readers" that
do this writer denial. So we simply introduce a variation of that
"deny_write_access()" logic that not only denies write access, but also
requires that this is the _only_ such access that denies write access.
Which means that you can't start loading a module that is already being
loaded as a module by somebody else, or you will get the same -ETXTBSY
error that you would get if there were writers around.
[ It also means that you can't try to load a currently executing
executable as a module, for the same reason: executables do that same
"deny_write_access()" thing, and that's obviously where the whole
ETXTBSY logic traditionally came from.
This is not a problem for kernel modules, since the set of normal
executable files and kernel module files is entirely disjoint. ]
This new function is called "exclusive_deny_write_access()", and the
implementation is trivial, in that it's just an atomic decrement of
i_writecount if it was 0 before.
To use that new exclusivity check, all we then do is wrap the module
loading with that exclusive_deny_write_access()() / allow_write_access()
pair. The actual patch is a bit bigger than that, because we want to
surround not just the "load file data" part, but the whole module setup,
to get maximum exclusion.
So this ends up splitting up "finit_module()" into a few helper
functions to make it all very clear and legible.
In Luis' test-case (bringing up 255 vcpu's in a virtual machine [3]),
the "wasted vmalloc" space (ie module data read into a vmalloc'ed area
in order to be loaded as a module, but then discarded because somebody
else loaded the same module instead) dropped from 1.8GiB to 474kB. Yes,
that's gigabytes to kilobytes.
It doesn't drop completely to zero, because even with this change, you
can still end up having completely serial pointless module loads, where
one udev process has loaded a module fully (and thus the kernel has
released that exclusive lock on the module file), and then another udev
process tries to load the same module again.
So while we cannot fully get rid of the fundamental bug in user space,
we _can_ get rid of the excessive concurrent thundering herd effect.
A couple of final side notes on this all:
- This tweak only affects the "finit_module()" system call, which gives
the kernel a file descriptor with the module data.
You can also just feed the module data as raw data from user space
with "init_module()" (note the lack of 'f' at the beginning), and
obviously for that case we do _not_ have any "exclusive read" logic.
So if you absolutely want to do things wrong in user space, and try
to load the same module multiple times, and error out only later when
the kernel ends up saying "you can't load the same module name
twice", you can still do that.
And in fact, some distros will do exactly that, because they will
uncompress the kernel module data in user space before feeding it to
the kernel (mainly because they haven't started using the new kernel
side decompression yet).
So this is not some absolute "you can't do concurrent loads of the
same module". It's literally just a very simple heuristic that will
catch it early in case you try to load the exact same module file at
the same time, and in that case avoid a potentially nasty situation.
- There is another user of "deny_write_access()": the verity code that
enables fs-verity on a file (the FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY ioctl).
If you use fs-verity and you care about verifying the kernel modules
(which does make sense), you should do it *before* loading said
kernel module. That may sound obvious, but now the implementation
basically requires it. Because if you try to do it concurrently, the
kernel may refuse to load the module file that is being set up by the
fs-verity code.
- This all will obviously mean that if you insist on loading the same
module in parallel, only one module load will succeed, and the others
will return with an error.
That was true before too, but what is different is that the -ETXTBSY
error can be returned *before* the success case of another process
fully loading and instantiating the module.
Again, that might sound obvious, and it is indeed the whole point of
the whole change: we are much quicker to notice the whole "you're
already in the process of loading this module".
So it's very much intentional, but it does mean that if you just
spray the kernel with "finit_module()", and expect that the module is
immediately loaded afterwards without checking the return value, you
are doing something horribly horribly wrong.
I'd like to say that that would never happen, but the whole _reason_
for this commit is that udev is currently doing something horribly
horribly wrong, so ...

Pull cifs client updates from Steve French:
"The largest subset of this is from David Howells et al: making the
cifs/smb3 driver pass iov_iters down to the lowest layers, directly to
the network transport rather than passing lists of pages around,
helping multiple areas:
- Pin user pages, thereby fixing the race between concurrent DIO read
and fork, where the pages containing the DIO read buffer may end up
belonging to the child process and not the parent - with the result
that the parent might not see the retrieved data.
- cifs shouldn't take refs on pages extracted from non-user-backed
iterators (eg. KVEC). With these changes, cifs will apply the
appropriate cleanup.
- Making it easier to transition to using folios in cifs rather than
pages by dealing with them through BVEC and XARRAY iterators.
- Allowing cifs to use the new splice function
The remainder are:
- fixes for stable, including various fixes for uninitialized memory,
wrong length field causing mount issue to very old servers,
important directory lease fixes and reconnect fixes
- cleanups (unused code removal, change one element array usage, and
a change form strtobool to kstrtobool, and Kconfig cleanups)
- SMBDIRECT (RDMA) fixes including iov_iter integration and UAF fixes
- reconnect fixes
- multichannel fixes, including improving channel allocation (to
least used channel)
- remove the last use of lock_page_killable by moving to
folio_lock_killable"

Implement a function, direct_file_splice(), that deals with this by using
an ITER_BVEC iterator instead of an ITER_PIPE iterator as the former won't
free its buffers when reverted. The function bulk allocates all the
buffers it thinks it is going to use in advance, does the read
synchronously and only then trims the buffer down. The pages we did use
get pushed into the pipe.
This fixes a problem with the upcoming iov_iter_extract_pages() function,
whereby pages extracted from a non-user-backed iterator such as ITER_PIPE
aren't pinned. __iomap_dio_rw(), however, calls iov_iter_revert() to
shorten the iterator to just the bufferage it is going to use - which has
the side-effect of freeing the excess pipe buffers, even though they're
attached to a bio and may get written to by DMA (thanks to Hillf Danton for
spotting this[1]).
This then causes memory corruption that is particularly noticeable when the
syzbot test[2] is run. The test boils down to:
out = creat(argv[1], 0666);
ftruncate(out, 0x800);
lseek(out, 0x200, SEEK_SET);
in = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT | O_NOFOLLOW);
sendfile(out, in, NULL, 0x1dd00);
run repeatedly in parallel. What I think is happening is that ftruncate()
occasionally shortens the DIO read that's about to be made by sendfile's
splice core by reducing i_size.
This should be more efficient for DIO read by virtue of doing a bulk page
allocation, but slightly less efficient by ignoring any partial page in the
pipe.

Provide a function to do splice read from a buffered file, pulling the
folios out of the pagecache directly by calling filemap_get_pages() to do
any required reading and then pasting the returned folios into the pipe.
A helper function is provided to do the actual folio pasting and will
handle multipage folios by splicing as many of the relevant subpages as
will fit into the pipe.
The code is loosely based on filemap_read() and might belong in
mm/filemap.c with that as it needs to use filemap_get_pages().

Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:
- Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b ("fs:
introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
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 relevant on the mount level. Especially for
non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
potential source for bugs.
This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.
Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments.
Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.
Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.
We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
requirements.
In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.
- Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.
A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.
However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
up.
As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
additional tests.
