commit a0a6df9afcaf439a6b4c88a3b522e3d05fdef46f upstream.
Unfortunately, there's userland code that used to rely upon these
checks being done before anything else to check for UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW
support. That broke in 41525f56e256 ("fs: refactor ksys_umount").
Separate those from the rest of checks and move them to ksys_umount();
unlike everything else in there, this can be sanely done there.Reported-by: Sargun Dhillon

[ Upstream commit edf7ddbf1c5eb98b720b063b73e20e8a4a1ce673 ]
Missing calls to mntget() (or equivalently, too many calls to mntput())
are hard to detect because mntput() delays freeing mounts using
task_work_add(), then again using call_rcu(). As a result, mnt_count
can often be decremented to -1 without getting a KASAN use-after-free
report. Such cases are still bugs though, and they point to real
use-after-frees being possible.For an example of this, see the bug fixed by commit 1b0b9cc8d379
("vfs: fsmount: add missing mntget()"), discussed at
https://lkml.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20190605135401.GB30925@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#u.
This bug *should* have been trivial to find. But actually, it wasn't
found until syzkaller happened to use fchdir() to manipulate the
reference count just right for the bug to be noticeable.Address this by making mntput_no_expire() issue a WARN if mnt_count has
become negative.Suggested-by: Miklos Szeredi

A previous commit changed the notification mode from true/false to an
int, allowing notify-no, notify-yes, or signal-notify. This was
backwards compatible in the sense that any existing true/false user
would translate to either 0 (on notification sent) or 1, the latter
which mapped to TWA_RESUME. TWA_SIGNAL was assigned a value of 2.Clean this up properly, and define a proper enum for the notification
mode. Now we have:- TWA_NONE. This is 0, same as before the original change, meaning no
notification requested.
- TWA_RESUME. This is 1, same as before the original change, meaning
that we use TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.
- TWA_SIGNAL. This uses TIF_SIGPENDING/JOBCTL_TASK_WORK for the
notification.Clean up all the callers, switching their 0/1/false/true to using the
appropriate TWA_* mode for notifications.Fixes: e91b48162332 ("task_work: teach task_work_add() to do signal_wake_up()")

The copy_mount_options() function takes a user pointer argument but no
size and it tries to read up to a PAGE_SIZE. However, copy_from_user()
is not guaranteed to return all the accessible bytes if, for example,
the access crosses a page boundary and gets a fault on the second page.
To work around this, the current copy_mount_options() implementation
performs two copy_from_user() passes, first to the end of the current
page and the second to what's left in the subsequent page.On arm64 with MTE enabled, access to a user page may trigger a fault
after part of the buffer in a page has been copied (when the user
pointer tag, bits 56-59, no longer matches the allocation tag stored in
memory). Allow copy_mount_options() to handle such intra-page faults by
resorting to byte at a time copy in case of copy_from_user() failure.Note that copy_from_user() handles the zeroing of the kernel buffer in
case of error.Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

For mounts that have the new "nosymfollow" option, don't follow symlinks
when resolving paths. The new option is similar in spirit to the
existing "nodev", "noexec", and "nosuid" options, as well as to the
LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS resolve flag in the openat2(2) syscall. Various BSD
variants have been supporting the "nosymfollow" mount option for a long
time with equivalent implementations.Note that symlinks may still be created on file systems mounted with
the "nosymfollow" option present. readlink() remains functional, so
user space code that is aware of symlinks can still choose to follow
them explicitly.Setting the "nosymfollow" mount option helps prevent privileged
writers from modifying files unintentionally in case there is an
unexpected link along the accessed path. The "nosymfollow" option is
thus useful as a defensive measure for systems that need to deal with
untrusted file systems in privileged contexts.More information on the history and motivation for this patch can be

Previous patch changed handling of remount/reconfigure to ignore all
options, including those that are unknown to the fuse kernel fs. This was
done for backward compatibility, but this likely only affects the old
mount(2) API.The new fsconfig(2) based reconfiguration could possibly be improved. This
would make the new API less of a drop in replacement for the old, OTOH this
is a good chance to get rid of some weirdnesses in the old API.Several other behaviors might make sense:
1) unknown options are rejected, known options are ignored
2) unknown options are rejected, known options are rejected if the value
is changed, allowed otherwise3) all options are rejected
Prior to the backward compatibility fix to ignore all options all known
options were accepted (1), even if they change the value of a mount
parameter; fuse_reconfigure() does not look at the config values set by
fuse_parse_param().To fix that we'd need to verify that the value provided is the same as set
in the initial configuration (2). The major drawback is that this is much
more complex than just rejecting all attempts at changing options (3);
i.e. all options signify initial configuration values and don't make sense
on reconfigure.This patch opts for (3) with the rationale that no mount options are
reconfigurable in fuse.Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

Overlayfs is using clone_private_mount() to create internal mounts for
underlying layers. These are used for operations requiring a path, such as
dentry_open().Since these private mounts are not in any namespace they are treated as
short term, "detached" mounts and mntput() involves taking the global
mount_lock, which can result in serious cacheline pingpong.Make these private mounts longterm instead, which trade the penalty on
mntput() for a slightly longer shutdown time due to an added RCU grace
period when putting these mounts.Introduce a new helper kern_unmount_many() that can take care of multiple
longterm mounts with a single RCU grace period.Cc: Al Viro

If mounts are deleted after a read(2) call on /proc/self/mounts (or its
kin), the subsequent read(2) could miss a mount that comes after the
deleted one in the list. This is because the file position is interpreted
as the number mount entries from the start of the list.E.g. first read gets entries #0 to #9; the seq file index will be 10. Then
entry #5 is deleted, resulting in #10 becoming #9 and #11 becoming #10,
etc... The next read will continue from entry #10, and #9 is missed.Solve this by adding a cursor entry for each open instance. Taking the
global namespace_sem for write seems excessive, since we are only dealing
with a per-namespace list. Instead add a per-namespace spinlock and use
that together with namespace_sem taken for read to protect against
concurrent modification of the mount list. This may reduce parallelism of
is_local_mountpoint(), but it's hardly a big contention point. We could
also use RCU freeing of cursors to make traversal not need additional
locks, if that turns out to be neceesary.Only move the cursor once for each read (cursor is not added on open) to
minimize cacheline invalidation. When EOF is reached, the cursor is taken
off the list, in order to prevent an excessive number of cursors due to
inactive open file descriptors.Reported-by: Karel Zak

For quite a while we have been thinking about using pidfds to attach to
namespaces. This patchset has existed for about a year already but we've
wanted to wait to see how the general api would be received and adopted.
Now that more and more programs in userspace have started using pidfds
for process management it's time to send this one out.This patch makes it possible to use pidfds to attach to the namespaces
of another process, i.e. they can be passed as the first argument to the
setns() syscall. When only a single namespace type is specified the
semantics are equivalent to passing an nsfd. That means
setns(nsfd, CLONE_NEWNET) equals setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWNET). However,
when a pidfd is passed, multiple namespace flags can be specified in the
second setns() argument and setns() will attach the caller to all the
specified namespaces all at once or to none of them. Specifying 0 is not
valid together with a pidfd.Here are just two obvious examples:
setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWNET);
setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWUSER);
Allowing to also attach subsets of namespaces supports various use-cases
where callers setns to a subset of namespaces to retain privilege, perform
an action and then re-attach another subset of namespaces.If the need arises, as Eric suggested, we can extend this patchset to
assume even more context than just attaching all namespaces. His suggestion
specifically was about assuming the process' root directory when
setns(pidfd, 0) or setns(pidfd, SETNS_PIDFD) is specified. For now, just
keep it flexible in terms of supporting subsets of namespaces but let's
wait until we have users asking for even more context to be assumed. At
that point we can add an extension.The obvious example where this is useful is a standard container
manager interacting with a running container: pushing and pulling files
or directories, injecting mounts, attaching/execing any kind of process,
managing network devices all these operations require attaching to all
or at least multiple namespaces at the same time. Given that nowadays
most containers are spawned with all namespaces enabled we're currently
looking at at least 14 syscalls, 7 to open the /proc//ns/
nsfds, another 7 to actually perform the namespace switch. With time
namespaces we're looking at about 16 syscalls.
(We could amortize the first 7 or 8 syscalls for opening the nsfds by
stashing them in each container's monitor process but that would mean
we need to send around those file descriptors through unix sockets
everytime we want to interact with the container or keep on-disk
state. Even in scenarios where a caller wants to join a particular
namespace in a particular order callers still profit from batching
other namespaces. That mostly applies to the user namespace but
all container runtimes I found join the user namespace first no matter
if it privileges or deprivileges the container similar to how unshare
behaves.)
With pidfds this becomes a single syscall no matter how many namespaces
are supposed to be attached to.A decently designed, large-scale container manager usually isn't the
parent of any of the containers it spawns so the containers don't die
when it crashes or needs to update or reinitialize. This means that
for the manager to interact with containers through pids is inherently
racy especially on systems where the maximum pid number is not
significicantly bumped. This is even more problematic since we often spawn
and manage thousands or ten-thousands of containers. Interacting with a
container through a pid thus can become risky quite quickly. Especially
since we allow for an administrator to enable advanced features such as
syscall interception where we're performing syscalls in lieu of the
container. In all of those cases we use pidfds if they are available and
we pass them around as stable references. Using them to setns() to the
target process' namespaces is as reliable as using nsfds. Either the
target process is already dead and we get ESRCH or we manage to attach
to its namespaces but we can't accidently attach to another process'
namespaces. So pidfds lend themselves to be used with this api.
The other main advantage is that with this change the pidfd becomes the
only relevant token for most container interactions and it's the only
token we need to create and send around.Apart from significiantly reducing the number of syscalls from double
digit to single digit which is a decent reason post-spectre/meltdown
this also allows to switch to a set of namespaces atomically, i.e.
either attaching to all the specified namespaces succeeds or we fail. If
we fail we haven't changed a single namespace. There are currently three
namespaces that can fail (other than for ENOMEM which really is not
very interesting since we then have other problems anyway) for
non-trivial reasons, user, mount, and pid namespaces. We can fail to
attach to a pid namespace if it is not our current active pid namespace
or a descendant of it. We can fail to attach to a user namespace because
we are multi-threaded or because our current mount namespace shares
filesystem state with other tasks, or because we're trying to setns()
to the same user namespace, i.e. the target task has the same user
namespace as we do. We can fail to attach to a mount namespace because
it shares filesystem state with other tasks or because we fail to lookup
the new root for the new mount namespace. In most non-pathological
scenarios these issues can be somewhat mitigated. But there are cases where
we're half-attached to some namespace and failing to attach to another one.
I've talked about some of these problem during the hallway track (something
only the pre-COVID-19 generation will remember) of Plumbers in Los Angeles
in 2018(?). Even if all these issues could be avoided with super careful
userspace coding it would be nicer to have this done in-kernel. Pidfds seem
to lend themselves nicely for this.The other neat thing about this is that setns() becomes an actual
counterpart to the namespace bits of unshare().Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner

Add a simple struct nsset. It holds all necessary pieces to switch to a new
set of namespaces without leaving a task in a half-switched state which we
will make use of in the next patch. This patch switches the existing setns
logic over without causing a change in setns() behavior. This brings
setns() closer to how unshare() works(). The prepare_ns() function is
responsible to prepare all necessary information. This has two reasons.
First it minimizes dependencies between individual namespaces, i.e. all
install handler can expect that all fields are properly initialized
independent in what order they are called in. Second, this makes the code
easier to maintain and easier to follow if it needs to be changed.The prepare_ns() helper will only be switched over to use a flags argument
in the next patch. Here it will still use nstype as a simple integer
argument which was argued would be clearer. I'm not particularly
opinionated about this if it really helps or not. The struct nsset itself
already contains the flags field since its name already indicates that it
can contain information required by different namespaces. None of this
should have functional consequences.Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner

Protection against automount/automount races (two threads hitting the same
referral point at the same time) is based upon do_add_mount() prevention of
identical overmounts - trying to overmount the root of mounted tree with
the same tree fails with -EBUSY. It's unreliable (the other thread might've
mounted something on top of the automount it has triggered) *and* causes
no end of headache for follow_automount() and its caller, since
finish_automount() behaves like do_new_mount() - if the mountpoint to be is
overmounted, it mounts on top what's overmounting it. It's not only wrong
(we want to go into what's overmounting the automount point and quietly
discard what we planned to mount there), it introduces the possibility of
original parent mount getting dropped. That's what 8aef18845266 (VFS: Fix
vfsmount overput on simultaneous automount) deals with, but it can't do
anything about the reliability of conflict detection - if something had
been overmounted the other thread's automount (e.g. that other thread
having stepped into automount in mount(2)), we don't get that -EBUSY and
the result is
referral point under automounted NFS under explicit overmount
under another copy of automounted NFSWhat we need is finish_automount() *NOT* digging into overmounts - if it
finds one, it should just quietly discard the thing it was asked to mount.
And don't bother with actually crossing into the results of finish_automount() -
the same loop that calls follow_automount() will do that just fine on the
next iteration.IOW, instead of calling lock_mount() have finish_automount() do it manually,
_without_ the "move into overmount and retry" part. And leave crossing into
the results to the caller of follow_automount(), which simplifies it a lot.Moral: if you end up with a lot of glue working around the calling conventions
of something, perhaps these calling conventions are simply wrong...Fixes: 8aef18845266 (VFS: Fix vfsmount overput on simultaneous automount)

In prepare_namespace(), do_mount() can be used instead of ksys_mount()
as the first and third argument are const strings in the kernel, the
second and fourth argument are passed through anyway, and the fifth
argument is NULL.In do_mount_root(), ksys_mount() is called with the first and third
argument being already kernelspace strings, which do not need to be
copied over from userspace to kernelspace (again). The second and
fourth arguments are passed through to do_mount() anyway. The fifth
argument, while already residing in kernelspace, needs to be put into
a page of its own. Then, do_mount() can be used instead of
ksys_mount().Once this is done, there are no in-kernel users to ksys_mount() left,
which can therefore be removed.Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

After do_add_mount() returns success, the caller doesn't hold a
reference to the 'struct mount' anymore. So it's invalid to access it
in mnt_warn_timestamp_expiry().Fix it by calling mnt_warn_timestamp_expiry() before do_add_mount()
rather than after, and adjusting the warning message accordingly.Reported-by: syzbot+da4f525235510683d855@syzkaller.appspotmail.com

This patch is a part of a series that extends kernel ABI to allow to pass
tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than
0x00) as syscall arguments.In copy_mount_options a user address is being subtracted from TASK_SIZE.
If the address is lower than TASK_SIZE, the size is calculated to not
allow the exact_copy_from_user() call to cross TASK_SIZE boundary.
However if the address is tagged, then the size will be calculated
incorrectly.Untag the address before subtracting.

Pull fuse updates from Miklos Szeredi:
- Continue separating the transport (user/kernel communication) and the
filesystem layers of fuse. Getting rid of most layering violations
will allow for easier cleanup and optimization later on.- Prepare for the addition of the virtio-fs filesystem. The actual
filesystem will be introduced by a separate pull request.- Convert to new mount API.
- Various fixes, optimizations and cleanups.

Pull y2038 vfs updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"Add inode timestamp clamping.This series from Deepa Dinamani adds a per-superblock minimum/maximum
timestamp limit for a file system, and clamps timestamps as they are
written, to avoid random behavior from integer overflow as well as
having different time stamps on disk vs in memory.At mount time, a warning is now printed for any file system that can
represent current timestamps but not future timestamps more than 30
years into the future, similar to the arbitrary 30 year limit that was
added to settimeofday().This was picked as a compromise to warn users to migrate to other file
systems (e.g. ext4 instead of ext3) when they need the file system to
survive beyond 2038 (or similar limits in other file systems), but not
get in the way of normal usage"* tag 'y2038-vfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground:
