de16588a77 Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
  for vfs and individual filesystems.

  Features:

   - Block mode changes on symlinks and rectify our broken semantics

   - Report file modifications via fsnotify() for splice

   - Allow specifying an explicit timeout for the "rootwait" kernel
     command line option. This allows to timeout and reboot instead of
     always waiting indefinitely for the root device to show up

   - Use synchronous fput for the close system call

  Cleanups:

   - Get rid of open-coded lockdep workarounds for async io submitters
     and replace it all with a single consolidated helper

   - Simplify epoll allocation helper

   - Convert simple_write_begin and simple_write_end to use a folio

   - Convert page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm() to use a folio

   - Simplify __range_close to avoid pointless locking

   - Disable per-cpu buffer head cache for isolated cpus

   - Port ecryptfs to kmap_local_page() api

   - Remove redundant initialization of pointer buf in pipe code

   - Unexport the d_genocide() function which is only used within core
     vfs

   - Replace printk(KERN_ERR) and WARN_ON() with WARN()

  Fixes:

   - Fix various kernel-doc issues

   - Fix refcount underflow for eventfds when used as EFD_SEMAPHORE

   - Fix a mainly theoretical issue in devpts

   - Check the return value of __getblk() in reiserfs

   - Fix a racy assert in i_readcount_dec

   - Fix integer conversion issues in various functions

   - Fix LSM security context handling during automounts that prevented
     NFS superblock sharing"

29044dae2e fsnotify: fix fsnotify hooks in pseudo filesystems
Commit 49246466a9 ("fsnotify: move fsnotify_nameremove() hook out of
d_delete()") moved the fsnotify delete hook before d_delete() so fsnotify
will have access to a positive dentry.

This allowed a race where opening the deleted file via cached dentry
is now possible after receiving the IN_DELETE event.

To fix the regression in pseudo filesystems, convert d_delete() calls
to d_drop() (see commit 46c46f8df9 ("devpts_pty_kill(): don't bother
with d_delete()") and move the fsnotify hook after d_drop().

Add a missing fsnotify_unlink() hook in nfsdfs that was found during
the audit of fsnotify hooks in pseudo filesystems.

Note that the fsnotify hooks in simple_recursive_removal() follow
d_invalidate(), so they require no change.

73052b0dae fs/devpts: always delete dcache dentry-s in dput()
d_delete only unhashes an entry if it is reached with
dentry->d_lockref.count != 1. Prior to commit 8ead9dd547 ("devpts:
more pty driver interface cleanups"), d_delete was called on a dentry
from devpts_pty_kill with two references held, which would trigger the
unhashing, and the subsequent dputs would release it.

Commit 8ead9dd547 reworked devpts_pty_kill to stop acquiring the second
reference from d_find_alias, and the d_delete call left the dentries
still on the hashed list without actually ever being dropped from dcache
before explicit cleanup. This causes the number of negative dentries for
devpts to pile up, and an `ls /dev/pts` invocation can take seconds to
return.

Provide always_delete_dentry() from simple_dentry_operations
as .d_delete for devpts, to make the dentry be dropped from dcache.

Without this cleanup, the number of dentries in /dev/pts/ can be grown
arbitrarily as:

`python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn(["ls", "/dev/pts"])'`

A systemtap probe on dcache_readdir to count d_subdirs shows this count
to increase with each pty spawn invocation above:

probe kernel.function("dcache_readdir") {
    subdirs = &@cast($file->f_path->dentry, "dentry")->d_subdirs;
    p = subdirs;
    p = @cast(p, "list_head")->next;
    i = 0
    while (p != subdirs) {
      p = @cast(p, "list_head")->next;
      i = i+1;
    }
    printf("number of dentries: %d\n", i);
}

a319b01d90 devpts: resolve devpts bind-mounts
Most libcs will still look at /dev/ptmx when opening the master fd of a pty
device. When /dev/ptmx is a bind-mount of /dev/pts/ptmx and the TIOCGPTPEER
ioctl() is used to safely retrieve a file descriptor for the slave side of
the pty based on the master fd, the /proc/self/fd/{0,1,2} symlinks will
point to /. A very simply reproducer for this issue presupposing a libc
that uses TIOCGPTPEER in its openpty() implementation is:

unshare --mount
mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
chmod 666 /dev/ptmx
script
ls -al /proc/self/fd/0

Having bind-mounts of /dev/pts/ptmx to /dev/ptmx not working correctly is a
regression. In addition, it is also a fairly common scenario in containers
employing user namespaces.

The reason for the current failure is that the kernel tries to verify the
useability of the devpts filesystem without resolving the /dev/ptmx
bind-mount first. This will lead it to detect that the dentry is escaping
its bind-mount. The reason is that while the devpts filesystem mounted at
/dev/pts has the devtmpfs mounted at /dev as its parent mount:

21 -- -- / /dev
-- 21 -- / /dev/pts

devtmpfs and devpts are on different devices

-- -- 0:6  / /dev
-- -- 0:20 / /dev/pts

This has the consequence that the pathname of the parent directory of the
devpts filesystem mount at /dev/pts is /. So if /dev/ptmx is a bind-mount
of /dev/pts/ptmx then the /dev/ptmx bind-mount and the devpts mount at
/dev/pts will end up being located on the same device which is recorded in
the superblock of their vfsmount. This means the parent directory of the
/dev/ptmx bind-mount will be /ptmx:

-- -- ---- /ptmx /dev/ptmx

Without the bind-mount resolution patch the kernel will now perform the
bind-mount escape check directly on /dev/ptmx. The function responsible for
this is devpts_ptmx_path() which calls pts_path() which in turn calls
path_parent_directory(). Based on the above explanation,
path_parent_directory() will yield / as the parent directory for the
/dev/ptmx bind-mount and not the expected /dev. Thus, the kernel detects
that /dev/ptmx is escaping its bind-mount and will set /proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>
to /.

This patch changes the logic to first resolve any bind-mounts. After the
bind-mounts have been resolved (i.e. we have traced it back to the
associated devpts mount) devpts_ptmx_path() can be called. In order to
guarantee correct path generation for the slave file descriptor the kernel
now requires that a pts directory is found in the parent directory of the
ptmx bind-mount. This implies that when doing bind-mounts the ptmx
bind-mount and the devpts mount should have a common parent directory. A
valid example is:

mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx

an invalid example is:

mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /ptmx

This allows us to support:
- calling open on ptmx devices located inside non-standard devpts mounts:
  mount -t devpts devpts /mnt
  master = open("/mnt/ptmx", ...);
  slave = ioctl(master, TIOCGPTPEER, ...);
- calling open on ptmx devices located outside the devpts mount with a
  common ancestor directory:
  mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
  mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
  master = open("/dev/ptmx", ...);
  slave = ioctl(master, TIOCGPTPEER, ...);

while failing on ptmx devices located outside the devpts mount without a
common ancestor directory:
  mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
  mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /ptmx
  master = open("/ptmx", ...);
  slave = ioctl(master, TIOCGPTPEER, ...);

in which case save path generation cannot be guaranteed.

311fc65c9f pty: Repair TIOCGPTPEER
The implementation of TIOCGPTPEER has two issues.

When /dev/ptmx (as opposed to /dev/pts/ptmx) is opened the wrong
vfsmount is passed to dentry_open.  Which results in the kernel displaying
the wrong pathname for the peer.

The second is simply by caching the vfsmount and dentry of the peer it leaves
them open, in a way they were not previously Which because of the inreased
reference counts can cause unnecessary behaviour differences resulting in
regressions.

To fix these move the ioctl into tty_io.c at a generic level allowing
the ioctl to have access to the struct file on which the ioctl is
being called.  This allows the path of the slave to be derived when
opening the slave through TIOCGPTPEER instead of requiring the path to
the slave be cached.  Thus removing the need for caching the path.

A new function devpts_ptmx_path is factored out of devpts_acquire and
used to implement a function devpts_mntget.   The new function devpts_mntget
takes a filp to perform the lookup on and fsi so that it can confirm
that the superblock that is found by devpts_ptmx_path is the proper superblock.

v2: Lots of fixes to make the code actually work
v3: Suggestions by Linus
    - Removed the unnecessary initialization of filp in ptm_open_peer
    - Simplified devpts_ptmx_path as gotos are no longer required

[ This is the fix for the issue that was reverted in commit
  143c97cc65, but this time without breaking 'pbuilder' due to
  increased reference counts   - Linus ]

143c97cc65 Revert "pty: fix the cached path of the pty slave file descriptor in the master"
This reverts commit c8c03f1858.

It turns out that while fixing the ptmx file descriptor to have the
correct 'struct path' to the associated slave pty is a really good
thing, it breaks some user space tools for a very annoying reason.

The problem is that /dev/ptmx and its associated slave pty (/dev/pts/X)
are on different mounts.  That was what caused us to have the wrong path
in the first place (we would mix up the vfsmount of the 'ptmx' node,
with the dentry of the pty slave node), but it also means that now while
we use the right vfsmount, having the pty master open also keeps the pts
mount busy.

And it turn sout that that makes 'pbuilder' very unhappy, as noted by
Stefan Lippers-Hollmann:

 "This patch introduces a regression for me when using pbuilder
  0.228.7[2] (a helper to build Debian packages in a chroot and to
  create and update its chroots) when trying to umount /dev/ptmx (inside
  the chroot) on Debian/ unstable (full log and pbuilder configuration
  file[3] attached).

  [...]
  Setting up build-essential (12.3) ...
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-15) ...
  I: unmounting dev/ptmx filesystem
  W: Could not unmount dev/ptmx: umount: /var/cache/pbuilder/build/1340/dev/ptmx: target is busy
          (In some cases useful info about processes that
           use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1).)"

apparently pbuilder tries to unmount the /dev/pts filesystem while still
holding at least one master node open, which is arguably not very nice,
but we don't break user space even when fixing other bugs.

So this commit has to be reverted.

I'll try to figure out a way to avoid caching the path to the slave pty
in the master pty.  The only thing that actually wants that slave pty
path is the "TIOCGPTPEER" ioctl, and I think we could just recreate the
path at that time.

c8c03f1858 pty: fix the cached path of the pty slave file descriptor in the master
Christian Brauner reported that if you use the TIOCGPTPEER ioctl() to
get a slave pty file descriptor, the resulting file descriptor doesn't
look right in /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd>.  In particular, he wanted to use
readlink() on /proc/self/fd/<fd> to get the pathname of the slave pty
(basically implementing "ptsname{_r}()").

The reason for that was that we had generated the wrong 'struct path'
when we create the pty in ptmx_open().

In particular, the dentry was correct, but the vfsmount pointed to the
mount of the ptmx node. That _can_ be correct - in case you use
"/dev/pts/ptmx" to open the master - but usually is not.  The normal
case is to use /dev/ptmx, which then looks up the pts/ directory, and
then the vfsmount of the ptmx node is obviously the /dev directory, not
the /dev/pts/ directory.

We actually did have the right vfsmount available, but in the wrong
place (it gets looked up in 'devpts_acquire()' when we get a reference
to the pts filesystem), and so ptmx_open() used the wrong mnt pointer.

The end result of this confusion was that the pty worked fine, but when
if you did TIOCGPTPEER to get the slave side of the pty, end end result
would also work, but have that dodgy 'struct path'.

And then when doing "d_path()" on to get the pathname, the vfsmount
would not match the root of the pts directory, and d_path() would return
an empty pathname thinking that the entry had escaped a bind mount into
another mount.

This fixes the problem by making devpts_acquire() return the vfsmount
for the pts filesystem, allowing ptmx_open() to trivially just use the
right mount for the pts dentry, and create the proper 'struct path'.

078cd8279e fs: Replace CURRENT_TIME with current_time() for inode timestamps
CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
Use current_time() instead.

CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.

This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.

Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
share the same time granularity.

e98d413703 devpts: Change the owner of /dev/pts/ptmx to the mounter of /dev/pts
In 99.99% of the cases only root in a user namespace can mount /dev/pts
and in those cases the owner of /dev/pts/ptmx will remain root.root

In the oddball case where someone else has CAP_SYS_ADMIN this code
modifies the /dev/pts mount code to use current_fsuid and current_fsgid
as the values to use when creating the /dev/ptmx inode.  As is done
when any other file is created.

This is a code simplification, and it allows running without a root
user entirely.

c1b241f0c1 devpts: Simplify devpts_mount by using mount_nodev
Now that all of the work of setting up a superblock has been moved to
devpts_fill_super simplify devpts_mount by calling mount_nodev instead
of rolling mount_nodev by hand.
