* autofs4: make autofs type usage explicitIan Kent2009-01-075-17/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - the type assigned at mount when no type is given is changed from 0 to AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT. This was done because 0 and AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT were being treated implicitly as the same type. - previously, an offset mount had it's type set to AUTOFS_TYPE_DIRECT|AUTOFS_TYPE_OFFSET but the mount control re-implementation needs to be able distinguish all three types. So this was changed to make the type setting explicit. - a type AUTOFS_TYPE_ANY was added for use by the re-implementation when checking if a given path is a mountpoint. It's not really a type as we use this to ask if a given path is a mountpoint in the autofs_dev_ioctl_ismountpoint() function. - functions to set and test the autofs mount types have been added to improve readability and make the type usage explicit. - the mount type is used from user space for the mount control re-implementtion so, for consistency, all the definitions have been moved to the user space include file include/linux/auto_fs4.h.

* autofs4: add miscellaneous device for ioctlsIan Kent2008-10-165-12/+915
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a miscellaneous device to the autofs4 module for routing ioctls. This provides the ability to obtain an ioctl file handle for an autofs mount point that is possibly covered by another mount. The actual problem with autofs is that it can't reconnect to existing mounts. Immediately one things of just adding the ability to remount autofs file systems would solve it, but alas, that can't work. This is because autofs direct mounts and the implementation of "on demand mount and expire" of nested mount trees have the file system mounted on top of the mount trigger dentry. To resolve this a miscellaneous device node for routing ioctl commands to these mount points has been implemented in the autofs4 kernel module and a library added to autofs. This provides the ability to open a file descriptor for these over mounted autofs mount points. Please refer to Documentation/filesystems/autofs4-mount-control.txt for a discussion of the problem, implementation alternatives considered and a description of the interface.

* autofs4: fix direct mount pending expire raceIan Kent2008-07-243-26/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For direct and offset type mounts that are covered by another mount we cannot check the AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING flag during a path walk which leads to lookups walking into an expiring mount while it is being expired. For example, for the direct multi-mount map entry with a couple of offsets: /race/mm1 / <server1>:/<path1> /om1 <server2>:/<path2> /om2 <server1>:/<path3> an autofs trigger mount is mounted on /race/mm1 and when accessed it is over mounted and trigger mounts made for /race/mm1/om1 and /race/mm1/om2. So it isn't possible for path walks to see the expiring flag at all and they happily walk into the file system while it is expiring. When expiring these mounts follow_down() must stop at the autofs mount and all processes must block in the ->follow_link() method (except the daemon) until the expire is complete. This is done by decrementing the d_mounted field of the autofs trigger mount root dentry until the expire is completed. In ->follow_link() all processes wait on the expire and the mount following is completed for the daemon until the expire is complete.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The selection of a dentry for expiration and the setting of the AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING flag isn't done atomically which can lead to lookups walking into an expiring mount. What happens is that an expire is initiated by the daemon and a dentry is selected for expire but, since there is no lock held between the selection and setting of the expiring flag, a process may find the flag clear and continue walking into the mount tree at the same time the daemon attempts the expire it.

* autofs4: fix pending checksIan Kent2008-07-241-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two cases for which a dentry that has a pending mount request does not wait for completion. One is via autofs4_revalidate() and the other via autofs4_follow_link(). In revalidate, after the mount point directory is created, but before the mount is done, the check in try_to_fill_dentry() can can fail to send the dentry to the wait queue since the dentry is positive and the lookup flags may contain only LOOKUP_FOLLOW. Although we don't trigger a mount for the LOOKUP_FOLLOW flag, if ther's one pending we might as well wait and use the mounted dentry for the lookup. In autofs4_follow_link() the dentry is not checked to see if it is pending so it may fail to call try_to_fill_dentry() and not wait for mount completion. A dentry that is pending must always be sent to the wait queue.

* autofs4: indirect dentry must almost always be positiveIan Kent2008-07-241-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have been seeing mount requests comming to the automount daemon for keys of the form "<map key>/<non key directory>" which are lookups for invalid map keys. But we can check for this in the kernel module and return a fail immediately, without having to send a request to the daemon. It is possible to recognise these requests are invalid based on whether the request dentry is negative and its relation to the autofs file system root. For example, given the indirect multi-mount map entry: idm1 \ /mm1 <server>:/<path1> /mm2 <server>:/<path2> For a request to mount idm1, IS_ROOT((idm1)->d_parent) will be always be true and the dentry may be negative. But directories idm1/mm1 and idm1/mm2 will always be created as part of the mount request for idm1. So any mount request within idm1 itself must have a positive dentry otherwise the map key is invalid. In version 4 these multi-mount entries are all mounted and umounted as a single request and in version 5 the directories idm1/mm1 and idm1/mm2 are created and an autofs fs mounted on them to act as a mount trigger so the above is also true. This also holds true for the autofs version 4 pseudo direct mount feature. When this feature is used without the "--ghost" option automount(8) will create internal submounts as we go down the map key paths which are essentially normal indirect mounts for which the above holds. If the "--ghost" option is given the directories for map keys are created at daemon startup so valid map entries correspond to postive dentries in the autofs fs. autofs version 5 direct mount maps are similar except that the IS_ROOT check is not needed. This has been addressed in a previous patch tittled "autofs4 - detect invalid direct mount requests". For example, given the direct multi-mount map entry: /test/dm1 \ /mm1 <server>:/<path1> /mm2 <server>:/<path2> An autofs fs is mounted on /test/dm1 as a trigger mount and when a mount is triggered for /test/dm1, the multi-mount offset directories /test/dm1/mm1 and /test/dm1/mm2 are created and an autofs fs is mounted on them to act as mount triggers. So valid direct mount requests must always have a positive dentry if they correspond to a valid map entry.

* autofs4: fix pending mount raceIan Kent2008-07-241-38/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Close a race between a pending mount that is about to finish and a new lookup for the same directory. Process P1 triggers a mount of directory foo. It sets DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING in the ->lookup routine, creates a waitq entry for 'foo', and calls out to the daemon to perform the mount. The autofs daemon will then create the directory 'foo', using a new dentry that will be hashed in the dcache. Before the mount completes, another process, P2, tries to walk into the 'foo' directory. The vfs path walking code finds an entry for 'foo' and calls the revalidate method. Revalidate finds that the entry is not PENDING (because PENDING was never set on the dentry created by the mkdir), but it does find the directory is empty. Revalidate calls try_to_fill_dentry, which sets the PENDING flag and then calls into the autofs4 wait code to trigger or wait for a mount of 'foo'. The wait code finds the entry for 'foo' and goes to sleep waiting for the completion of the mount. Yet another process, P3, tries to walk into the 'foo' directory. This process again finds a dentry in the dcache for 'foo', and calls into the autofs revalidate code. The revalidate code finds that the PENDING flag is set, and so calls try_to_fill_dentry. a) try_to_fill_dentry sets the PENDING flag redundantly for this dentry, then calls into the autofs4 wait code. b) the autofs4 wait code takes the waitq mutex and searches for an entry for 'foo' Between a and b, P1 is woken up because the mount completed. P1 takes the wait queue mutex, clears the PENDING flag from the dentry, and removes the waitqueue entry for 'foo' from the list. When it releases the waitq mutex, P3 (eventually) acquires it. At this time, it looks for an existing waitq for 'foo', finds none, and so creates a new one and calls out to the daemon to mount the 'foo' directory. Now, the reason that three processes are required to trigger this race is that, because the PENDING flag is not set on the dentry created by mkdir, the window for the race would be way to slim for it to ever occur. Basically, between the testing of d_mountpoint(dentry) and the taking of the waitq mutex, the mount would have to complete and the daemon would have to be woken up, and that in turn would have to wake up P1. This is simply impossible. Add the third process, though, and it becomes slightly more likely.

* autofs4: use lookup intent flags to trigger mountsIan Kent2008-07-241-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an open(2) call is made on an autofs mount point directory that already exists and the O_DIRECTORY flag is not used the needed mount callback to the daemon is not done. This leads to the path walk continuing resulting in a callback to the daemon with an incorrect key. open(2) is called without O_DIRECTORY by the "find" utility but this should be handled properly anyway. This happens because autofs needs to use the lookup flags to decide when to callback to the daemon to perform a mount to prevent mount storms. For example, an autofs indirect mount map that has the "browse" option will have the mount point directories are pre-created and the stat(2) call made by a color ls against each directory will cause all these directories to be mounted. It is unfortunate we need to resort to this but mount maps can be quite large. Additionally, if a user manually umounts an autofs indirect mount the directory isn't removed which also leads to this situation. To resolve this autofs needs to use the lookup intent flags to enable it to make this decision. This patch adds this check and triggers a call back if any of the lookup intent flags are set as all these calls warrant a mount attempt be requested. I know that external VFS code which uses the lookup flags is something that the VFS would like to eliminate but I have no choice as I can't see any other way to do this. A VFS dentry or inode operation callback which returns the lookup "type" (requires a definition) would be sufficient. But this change is needed now and I'm not aware of the form that coming VFS changes will take so I'm not willing to propose anything along these lines. If anyone can provide an alternate method I would be happy to use it.

* autofs4: don't release directory mutex if called in oz_modeIan Kent2008-07-241-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we now delay hashing of dentrys until the ->mkdir() call, droping and re-taking the directory mutex within the ->lookup() function when we are being called by user space is not needed. This can lead to a race when other processes are attempting to access the same directory during mount point directory creation. In this case we need to hang onto the mutex to ensure we don't get user processes trying to create a mount request for a newly created dentry after the mount point entry has already been created. This ensures that when we need to check a dentry passed to autofs4_wait(), if it is hashed, it is always the mount point dentry and not a new dentry created by another lookup during directory creation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A while ago a patch to resolve a deadlock during directory creation was merged. This delayed the hashing of lookup dentrys until the ->mkdir() (or ->symlink()) operation completed to ensure we always went through ->lookup() instead of also having processes go through ->revalidate() so our VFS locking remained consistent. Now we are seeing a couple of side affects of that change in situations with heavy mount activity. Two cases have been identified: 1) When a mount request is triggered, due to the delayed hashing, the directory created by user space for the mount point doesn't have the DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag set. In the case of an autofs multi-mount where a tree of mount point directories are created this can lead to the path walk continuing rather than the dentry being sent to the wait queue to wait for request completion. This is because, if the pending flag isn't set, the criteria for deciding this is a mount in progress fails to hold, namely that the dentry is not a mount point and has no subdirectories. 2) A mount request dentry is initially created negative and unhashed. It remains this way until the ->mkdir() callback completes. Since it is unhashed a fresh dentry is used when the user space mount request creates the mount point directory. This leaves the original dentry negative and unhashed. But revalidate has no way to tell the VFS that the dentry has changed, other than to force another ->lookup() by returning false, which is at best wastefull and at worst not possible. This results in an -ENOENT return from the original path walk when in fact the mount succeeded. To resolve this we need to ensure that the same dentry is used in all calls to ->lookup() during the course of a mount request. This patch achieves that by adding the initial dentry to a look aside list and removes it at ->mkdir() or ->symlink() completion (or when the dentry is released), since these are the only create operations autofs4 supports.

* autofs4: don't make expiring dentry negativeIan Kent2008-07-243-78/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Correct the error of making a positive dentry negative after it has been instantiated. The code that makes this error attempts to re-use the dentry from a concurrent expire and mount to resolve a race and the dentry used for the lookup must be negative for mounts to trigger in the required cases. The fact is that the dentry doesn't need to be re-used because all that is needed is to preserve the flag that indicates an expire is still incomplete at the time of the mount request. This change uses the the dentry to check the flag and wait for the expire to complete then discards it instead of attempting to re-use it.

* autofs4: fix incorrect return from root.c:try_to_fill_dentry()Jeff Moyer2008-05-011-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jeff Moyer has identified a case where the autofs4 function root.c:try_to_fill_dentry() can return -EBUSY when it should return 0. Jeff's description of the way this happens is: "automount starts an expire for directory d. after the callout to the daemon, but before the rmdir, another process tries to walk into the same directory. It puts itself onto the waitq, pending the expiration. When the expire finishes, the second process is woken up. In try_to_fill_dentry, it does this check: status = d_invalidate(dentry); if (status != -EBUSY) return -EAGAIN; And status is EBUSY. The dentry still has a non-zero d_inode, and the flags do not contain LOOKUP_CONTINUE or LOOKUP_DIRECTORY So, we fall through and return -EBUSY to the caller."

* autofs4: fix execution order race in mount request codeJeff Moyer2008-05-011-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jeff Moyer has identified a race in due to an execution order dependency in the autofs4 function root.c:try_to_fill_dentry(). Jeff's description of this race is: "P1 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo. Since the VFS can't find an entry for "foo" under /mount/submount, it calls into the autofs4 kernel module to allocate a new dentry, D1. The kernel creates a new waitq for this lookup and calls the daemon to perform the mount. The daemon performs a mkdir of the "foo" directory under /mount/submount, which ends up creating a *new* dentry, D2. Then, P2 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo. The VFS path walking logic finds a dentry in the dcache, D2, and calls the revalidate function with this. In the autofs4 revalidate code, we then trigger a mount, since the dentry is an empty directory that isn't a mountpoint, and so set DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING and call into the wait code to trigger the mount. The wait code finds our existing waitq entry (since it is keyed off of the directory name) and adds itself to the list of waiters. After the daemon finishes the mount, it calls back into the kernel to release the waiters. When this happens, P1 is woken up and goes about clearing the DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag, but it does this in D1! So, given that P1 in our case is a program that will immediately try to access a file under /mount/submount/foo, we end up finding the dentry D2 which still has the pending flag set, and we set out to wait for a mount *again*! So, one way to address this is to re-do the lookup at the end of try_to_fill_dentry, and to clear the pending flag on the hashed dentry. This seems a sane approach to me." And Jeff's patch does this.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata. Together with the other patches of this series - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on <dentry,vfsmount> pairs - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed - it reduces the overall code size: without patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux with patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux This patch: Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

The proposals are to * equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to represent that fact, * and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making the common prefix of the same name. For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.
