This helper is for filesystems that want to read the symlink and are better
off with the get_link() interface (returning a char *) rather than the
readlink() interface (copy into a userspace buffer).Also call the LSM hook for readlink (not get_link) since this is for
symlink reading not following.Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

On overlayfs relatime_need_update() needs inode times to be correct on
overlay inode. But i_mtime and i_ctime are updated by filesystem code on
underlying inode only, so they will be out-of-date on the overlay inode.This patch copies the times from the underlying inode if needed. This
can't be done if called from RCU lookup (link following) but link m/ctime
are not updated by fs, so this is all right.This patch doesn't change functionality for anything but overlayfs.

In most cases, EPERM is returned on immutable inode, and there're only a
few places returning EACCES. I noticed this when running LTP on

Pull userns vfs updates from Eric Biederman:
"This tree contains some very long awaited work on generalizing the
user namespace support for mounting filesystems to include filesystems
with a backing store. The real world target is fuse but the goal is
to update the vfs to allow any filesystem to be supported. This
patchset is based on a lot of code review and testing to approach that
goal.While looking at what is needed to support the fuse filesystem it
became clear that there were things like xattrs for security modules
that needed special treatment. That the resolution of those concerns
would not be fuse specific. That sorting out these general issues
made most sense at the generic level, where the right people could be
drawn into the conversation, and the issues could be solved for
everyone.At a high level what this patchset does a couple of simple things:
- Add a user namespace owner (s_user_ns) to struct super_block.
- Teach the vfs to handle filesystem uids and gids not mapping into
to kuids and kgids and being reported as INVALID_UID and
INVALID_GID in vfs data structures.By assigning a user namespace owner filesystems that are mounted with
only user namespace privilege can be detected. This allows security
modules and the like to know which mounts may not be trusted. This
also allows the set of uids and gids that are communicated to the
filesystem to be capped at the set of kuids and kgids that are in the
owning user namespace of the filesystem.One of the crazier corner casees this handles is the case of inodes
whose i_uid or i_gid are not mapped into the vfs. Most of the code
simply doesn't care but it is easy to confuse the inode writeback path
so no operation that could cause an inode write-back is permitted for
such inodes (aka only reads are allowed).This set of changes starts out by cleaning up the code paths involved
in user namespace permirted mounts. Then when things are clean enough
adds code that cleanly sets s_user_ns. Then additional restrictions
are added that are possible now that the filesystem superblock
contains owner information.These changes should not affect anyone in practice, but there are some
parts of these restrictions that are changes in behavior.- Andy's restriction on suid executables that does not honor the
suid bit when the path is from another mount namespace (think
/proc/[pid]/fd/) or when the filesystem was mounted by a less
privileged user.- The replacement of the user namespace implicit setting of MNT_NODEV
with implicitly setting SB_I_NODEV on the filesystem superblock
instead.Using SB_I_NODEV is a stronger form that happens to make this state
user invisible. The user visibility can be managed but it caused
problems when it was introduced from applications reasonably
expecting mount flags to be what they were set to.There is a little bit of work remaining before it is safe to support
mounting filesystems with backing store in user namespaces, beyond
what is in this set of changes.- Verifying the mounter has permission to read/write the block device
during mount.- Teaching the integrity modules IMA and EVM to handle filesystems
mounted with only user namespace root and to reduce trust in their
security xattrs accordingly.- Capturing the mounters credentials and using that for permission
checks in d_automount and the like. (Given that overlayfs already
does this, and we need the work in d_automount it make sense to
generalize this case).Furthermore there are a few changes that are on the wishlist:
- Get all filesystems supporting posix acls using the generic posix
acls so that posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user and
posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user may be removed. [Maintainability]- Reducing the permission checks in places such as remount to allow
the superblock owner to perform them.- Allowing the superblock owner to chown files with unmapped uids and
gids to something that is mapped so the files may be treated
normally.I am not considering even obvious relaxations of permission checks
until it is clear there are no more corner cases that need to be
locked down and handled generically.Many thanks to Seth Forshee who kept this code alive, and putting up
with me rewriting substantial portions of what he did to handle more
corner cases, and for his diligent testing and reviewing of my

This reverts commit 3c9fe8cdff1b889a059a30d22f130372f2b3885f.
As Miklos points out in commit c1b2cc1a765a, the "lookup_hash()" helper
is now unused, and in fact, with the hash salting changes, since the
hash of a dentry name now depends on the directory dentry it is in, the
helper function isn't even really likely to be useful.So rather than keep it around in case somebody else might end up finding
a use for it, let's just remove the helper and not trick people into
thinking it might be a useful thing.For example, I had obviously completely missed how the helper didn't
follow the normal dentry hashing patterns, and how the hash salting
patch broke overlayfs. Things would quietly build and look sane, but
not work.Suggested-by: Miklos Szeredi

Seth Forshee reported a mount regression in nfs autmounts
with "fs: Add user namespace member to struct super_block".It turns out that the assumption that current->cred is something
reasonable during mount while necessary to improve support of
unprivileged mounts is wrong in the automount path.To fix the existing filesystems override current->cred with the
init_cred before calling d_automount and restore current->cred after
d_automount completes.To support unprivileged mounts would require a more nuanced cred
selection, so fail on unprivileged mounts for the time being. As none
of the filesystems that currently set FS_USERNS_MOUNT implement
d_automount this check is only good for preventing future problems.Fixes: 6e4eab577a0c ("fs: Add user namespace member to struct super_block")

It is expected that filesystems can not represent uids and gids from
outside of their user namespace. Keep things simple by not even
trying to create filesystem nodes with non-sense uids and gids.Acked-by: Seth Forshee
Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" -
When a filesystem outside of init_user_ns is mounted it could have
uids and gids stored in it that do not map to init_user_ns.The plan is to allow those filesystems to set i_uid to INVALID_UID and
i_gid to INVALID_GID for unmapped uids and gids and then to handle
that strange case in the vfs to ensure there is consistent robust
handling of the weirdness.Upon a careful review of the vfs and filesystems about the only case
where there is any possibility of confusion or trouble is when the
inode is written back to disk. In that case filesystems typically
read the inode->i_uid and inode->i_gid and write them to disk even
when just an inode timestamp is being updated.Which leads to a rule that is very simple to implement and understand
inodes whose i_uid or i_gid is not valid may not be written.In dealing with access times this means treat those inodes as if the
inode flag S_NOATIME was set. Reads of the inodes appear safe and
useful, but any write or modification is disallowed. The only inode
write that is allowed is a chown that sets the uid and gid on the
inode to valid values. After such a chown the inode is normal and may
be treated as such.Denying all writes to inodes with uids or gids unknown to the vfs also
prevents several oddball cases where corruption would have occurred
because the vfs does not have complete information.One problem case that is prevented is attempting to use the gid of a
directory for new inodes where the directories sgid bit is set but the
directories gid is not mapped.Another problem case avoided is attempting to update the evm hash
after setxattr, removexattr, and setattr. As the evm hash includeds
the inode->i_uid or inode->i_gid not knowning the uid or gid prevents
a correct evm hash from being computed. evm hash verification also
fails when i_uid or i_gid is unknown but that is essentially harmless
as it does not cause filesystem corruption.Acked-by: Seth Forshee

The two methods essentially do the same: find the real dentry/inode
belonging to an overlay dentry. The difference is in the usage:vfs_open() uses ->d_select_inode() and expects the function to perform
copy-up if necessary based on the open flags argument.file_dentry() uses ->d_real() passing in the overlay dentry as well as the
underlying inode.vfs_rename() uses ->d_select_inode() but passes zero flags. ->d_real()
with a zero inode would have worked just as well here.This patch merges the functionality of ->d_select_inode() into ->d_real()
by adding an 'open_flags' argument to the latter.[Al Viro] Make the signature of d_real() match that of ->d_real() again.
And constify the inode argument, while we are at it.Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

We always mixed in the parent pointer into the dentry name hash, but we
did it late at lookup time. It turns out that we can simplify that
lookup-time action by salting the hash with the parent pointer early
instead of late.A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own
pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism.Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the
NULL pointer as a no-salt.Cc: Vegard Nossum

The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts"
in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If
there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx
uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails.The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that
userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new
instance of the filesystem.Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem.
Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the
mounter is in the initial mount namespace.A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry
named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the
passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function
path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot.In the implementation of devpts:
- devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of
devpts are equal.
- pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached
inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem.
- devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the
unnecessary inode hold is removed.
- devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a
deacrivate_super.
- The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now
ignored.In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as
they are never used.Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current
situation.This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5,

caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being

It's an analogue of commit 7500c38a (fix the braino in "namei:
massage lookup_slow() to be usable by lookup_one_len_unlocked()").
The same problem (->lookup()-returned unhashed negative dentry
just might be an autofs one with ->d_manage() that would wait
until the daemon makes it positive) applies in do_last() - we
need to do follow_managed() first.Fortunately, remaining callers of follow_managed() are OK - only
autofs has that weirdness (negative dentry that does not mean
an instant -ENOENT)) and autofs never has its negative dentries
hashed, so we can't pick one from a dcache lookup.->d_manage() is a bloody mess ;-/

"This series does several related things:- Makes the dcache hash (fs/namei.c) useful for general kernel use.

above.- Avoids 64-bit multiplies in hash_64() on 32-bit platforms. Two
32-bit multiplies will do well enough.- Rids the world of the bad hash multipliers in hash_32.
This finishes the job started in commit 689de1d6ca95 ("Minimal
fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()")The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for
32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified"
multipliers.The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of
Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added. Those
patches are last in the series.- Overhauls the dcache hash mixing.
The patch in commit 0fed3ac866ea ("namei: Improve hash mixing if
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS") was an off-the-cuff suggestion.
Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously
faster and better. (My own invention, as there was noting suitable
in the literature I could find. Comments welcome!)- Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX(). This
would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to.- Sort out partial_name_hash().
The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though
it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state
contributes nothing to the result. And some callers do odd things:- fs/hfs/string.c only allocates 32 bits of state
- fs/hfsplus/unicode.c uses it to hash 16-bit unicode symbols not bytes- Modify bytemask_from_count to handle inputs of 1..sizeof(long)
rather than 0..sizeof(long)-1. This would simplify users other
than full_name_hash"Special thanks to Bruce Fields for testing and finding bugs in v1. (I
learned some humbling lessons about "obviously correct" code.)On the arch-specific front, the m68k assembly has been tested in a

Patch 0fed3ac866 improved the hash mixing, but the function is slower
than necessary; there's a 7-instruction dependency chain (10 on x86)
each loop iteration.Word-at-a-time access is a very tight loop (which is good, because
link_path_walk() is one of the hottest code paths in the entire kernel),
and the hash mixing function must not have a longer latency to avoid
slowing it down.There do not appear to be any published fast hash functions that:
1) Operate on the input a word at a time, and
2) Don't need to know the length of the input beforehand, and
3) Have a single iterated mixing function, not needing conditional
branches or unrolling to distinguish different loop iterations.One of the algorithms which comes closest is Yann Collet's xxHash, but
that's two dependent multiplies per word, which is too much.The key insights in this design are:
1) Barring expensive ops like multiplies, to diffuse one input bit
across 64 bits of hash state takes at least log2(64) = 6 sequentially
dependent instructions. That is more cycles than we'd like.
2) An operation like "hash ^= hash << 13" requires a second temporary
register anyway, and on a 2-operand machine like x86, it's three
instructions.
3) A better use of a second register is to hold a two-word hash state.
With careful design, no temporaries are needed at all, so it doesn't
increase register pressure. And this gets rid of register copying
on 2-operand machines, so the code is smaller and faster.
4) Using two words of state weakens the requirement for one-round mixing;
we now have two rounds of mixing before cancellation is possible.
5) A two-word hash state also allows operations on both halves to be
done in parallel, so on a superscalar processor we get more mixing
in fewer cycles.I ended up using a mixing function inspired by the ChaCha and Speck
round functions. It is 6 simple instructions and 3 cycles per iteration
(assuming multiply by 9 can be done by an "lea" instruction):x ^= *input++;
y ^= x; x = ROL(x, K1);
x += y; y = ROL(y, K2);
y *= 9;Not only is this reversible, two consecutive rounds are reversible:
if you are given the initial and final states, but not the intermediate
state, it is possible to compute both input words. This means that at
least 3 words of input are required to create a collision.(It also has the property, used by hash_name() to avoid a branch, that
it hashes all-zero to all-zero.)The rotate constants K1 and K2 were found by experiment. The search took
a sample of random initial states (I used 1023) and considered the effect
of flipping each of the 64 input bits on each of the 128 output bits two
rounds later. Each of the 8192 pairs can be considered a biased coin, and
adding up the Shannon entropy of all of them produces a score.The best-scoring shifts also did well in other tests (flipping bits in y,
trying 3 or 4 rounds of mixing, flipping all 64*63/2 pairs of input bits),
so the choice was made with the additional constraint that the sum of the
shifts is odd and not too close to the word size.The final state is then folded into a 32-bit hash value by a less carefully
optimized multiply-based scheme. This also has to be fast, as pathname
components tend to be short (the most common case is one iteration!), but
there's some room for latency, as there is a fair bit of intervening logic
before the hash value is used for anything.(Performance verified with "bonnie++ -s 0 -n 1536:-2" on tmpfs. I need
a better benchmark; the numbers seem to show a slight dip in performance
between 4.6.0 and this patch, but they're too noisy to quote.)Special thanks to Bruce fields for diligent testing which uncovered a
nasty fencepost error in an earlier version of this patch.[checkpatch.pl formatting complaints noted and respectfully disagreed with.]

We'd like to make more use of the highly-optimized dcache hash functions
throughout the kernel, rather than have every subsystem create its own,
and a function that hashes basic null-terminated strings is required
for that.(The name is to emphasize that it returns both hash and length.)
It's actually useful in the dcache itself, specifically d_alloc_name().
Other uses in the next patch.full_name_hash() is also tweaked to make it more generally useful:
1) Take a "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" argument, to
be consistent with hash_name().
2) Handle zero-length inputs. If we want more callers, we don't want
to make them worry about corner cases.Signed-off-by: George Spelvin

Pull parallel filesystem directory handling update from Al Viro.
This is the main parallel directory work by Al that makes the vfs layer
able to do lookup and readdir in parallel within a single directory.
That's a big change, since this used to be all protected by the
directory inode mutex.The inode mutex is replaced by an rwsem, and serialization of lookups of
a single name is done by a "in-progress" dentry marker.The series begins with xattr cleanups, and then ends with switching
filesystems over to actually doing the readdir in parallel (switching to
the "iterate_shared()" that only takes the read lock).A more detailed explanation of the process from Al Viro:
"The xattr work starts with some acl fixes, then switches ->getxattr to
passing inode and dentry separately. This is the point where the
things start to get tricky - that got merged into the very beginning
of the -rc3-based #work.lookups, to allow untangling the
security_d_instantiate() mess. The xattr work itself proceeds to
switch a lot of filesystems to generic_...xattr(); no complications
there.After that initial xattr work, the series then does the following:
- untangle security_d_instantiate()
- convert a bunch of open-coded lookup_one_len_unlocked() to calls of
that thing; one such place (in overlayfs) actually yields a trivial
conflict with overlayfs fixes later in the cycle - overlayfs ended
up switching to a variant of lookup_one_len_unlocked() sans the
permission checks. I would've dropped that commit (it gets
overridden on merge from #ovl-fixes in #for-next; proper resolution
is to use the variant in mainline fs/overlayfs/super.c), but I
didn't want to rebase the damn thing - it was fairly late in the
cycle...- some filesystems had managed to depend on lookup/lookup exclusion
for *fs-internal* data structures in a way that would break if we
relaxed the VFS exclusion. Fixing hadn't been hard, fortunately.- core of that series - parallel lookup machinery, replacing
->i_mutex with rwsem, making lookup_slow() take it only shared. At
that point lookups happen in parallel; lookups on the same name
wait for the in-progress one to be done with that dentry.Surprisingly little code, at that - almost all of it is in
fs/dcache.c, with fs/namei.c changes limited to lookup_slow() -
making it use the new primitive and actually switching to locking
shared.- parallel readdir stuff - first of all, we provide the exclusion on
per-struct file basis, same as we do for read() vs lseek() for
regular files. That takes care of most of the needed exclusion in
readdir/readdir; however, these guys are trickier than lookups, so
I went for switching them one-by-one. To do that, a new method
'->iterate_shared()' is added and filesystems are switched to it
as they are either confirmed to be OK with shared lock on directory
or fixed to be OK with that. I hope to kill the original method
come next cycle (almost all in-tree filesystems are switched
already), but it's still not quite finished.- several filesystems get switched to parallel readdir. The
interesting part here is dealing with dcache preseeding by readdir;
that needs minor adjustment to be safe with directory locked only
shared.Most of the filesystems doing that got switched to in those
commits. Important exception: NFS. Turns out that NFS folks, with
their, er, insistence on VFS getting the fuck out of the way of the
Smart Filesystem Code That Knows How And What To Lock(tm) have
grown the locking of their own. They had their own homegrown
rwsem, with lookup/readdir/atomic_open being *writers* (sillyunlink
is the reader there). Of course, with VFS getting the fuck out of
the way, as requested, the actual smarts of the smart filesystem
code etc. had become exposed...- do_last/lookup_open/atomic_open cleanups. As the result, open()
without O_CREAT locks the directory only shared. Including the
->atomic_open() case. Backmerge from #for-linus in the middle of
that - atomic_open() fix got brought in.- then comes NFS switch to saner (VFS-based ;-) locking, killing the
homegrown "lookup and readdir are writers" kinda-sorta rwsem. All
exclusion for sillyunlink/lookup is done by the parallel lookups
mechanism. Exclusion between sillyunlink and rmdir is a real rwsem
now - rmdir being the writer.Result: NFS lookups/readdirs/O_CREAT-less opens happen in parallel
now.- the rest of the series consists of switching a lot of filesystems
to parallel readdir; in a lot of cases ->llseek() gets simplified
as well. One backmerge in there (again, #for-linus - rockridge
fix)"* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (74 commits)

Overlayfs needs lookup without inode_permission() and already has the name
hash (in form of dentry->d_name on overlayfs dentry). It also doesn't
support filesystems with d_op->d_hash() so basically it only needs
the actual hashed lookup from lookup_one_len_unlocked()So add a new helper that does unlocked lookup of a hashed name.

If a file is renamed to a hardlink of itself POSIX specifies that rename(2)
should do nothing and return success.This condition is checked in vfs_rename(). However it won't detect hard
links on overlayfs where these are given separate inodes on the overlayfs
layer.Overlayfs itself detects this condition and returns success without doing
anything, but then vfs_rename() will proceed as if this was a successful
rename (detach_mounts(), d_move()).The correct thing to do is to detect this condition before even calling
into overlayfs. This patch does this by calling vfs_select_inode() to get
the underlying inodes.Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi
