Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some
time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or
directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes
with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more
filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and
maintainers.
Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here
are just a few:
- Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between
multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex
scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the
implementation of portable home directories in
systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home
directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple
computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This
effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at
login time.
- It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged
containers without having to change ownership permanently through
chown(2).
- It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to
mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the
user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their
Linux subsystem.
- It is possible to share files between containers with
non-overlapping idmappings.
- Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can
use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC)
permission checking.
- They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount
basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In
contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is
instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when
ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or
container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall
mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of
all files.
- Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as
idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped
to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself
take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It
simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is
especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of
files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home
directory and container and vm scenario.
- Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it
to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only
apply as long as the mount exists.
Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and
pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull
this:
- systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away
in their implementation of portable home directories.
https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/
- container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between
host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged
containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in
containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite
a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734
- The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest
in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is
ported.
- ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers.
I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed
here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the
mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of
talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones:
https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdf
https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/
This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and
xfs:
https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts
It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid
execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and
non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs
setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will
be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to
merge this.
In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with
user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to
map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace.
The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not
idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the
testsuite.
Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users
to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
currently marked with.
The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by
passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an
argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new
MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern
of extensibility.
The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped
mount:
- The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the
user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in.
- The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts.
- The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the
idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped.
- The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have
been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag
and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem.
The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the
kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler.
By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no
behavioral or performance changes are observed.
The manpage with a detailed description can be found here:
https://git.kernel.org/brauner/man-pages/c/1d7b902e2875a1ff342e036a9f866a995640aea8
In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed
and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The
patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or
complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and
xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and
will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify
that port has been done correctly.
The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped
mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most
valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform
mounts based on file descriptors only.
Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2()
RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time
we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and
path resolution.
While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount
proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not
possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in
the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing.
With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last
restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api,
covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the
crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount
tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This
syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and
projects.
There is a simple tool available at
https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped
that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this
patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you
decide to pull this in the following weeks:

When truncating files the vfs will verify that the caller is privileged
over the inode. Extend it to handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is
accessed through an idmapped mount it is mapped according to the mount's
user namespace. Afterwards the permissions checks are identical to
non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing
changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.

retrieve the mount's user namespace right before performing permission

non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.

The inode_owner_or_capable() helper determines whether the caller is the

Similarly, allow the inode_init_owner() helper to handle idmapped

In order to determine whether a caller holds privilege over a given
inode the capability framework exposes the two helpers
privileged_wrt_inode_uidgid() and capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(). The former
verifies that the inode has a mapping in the caller's user namespace and
the latter additionally verifies that the caller has the requested
capability in their current user namespace.
If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the
mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to
non-idmapped inodes. If the initial user namespace is passed all
operations are a nop so non-idmapped mounts will not see a change in
behavior.

generic_update_time() always passes I_DIRTY_TIME to
__mark_inode_dirty(), which doesn't really make sense because (a)
generic_update_time() might be asked to do only an i_version update, not
also a timestamps update; and (b) I_DIRTY_TIME is only supposed to be
set in i_state if the filesystem has lazytime enabled, so using it
unconditionally in generic_update_time() is inconsistent.
As a result there is a weird edge case where if only an i_version update
was requested (not also a timestamps update) but it is no longer needed
(i.e. inode_maybe_inc_iversion() returns false), then I_DIRTY_TIME will
be set in i_state even if the filesystem isn't mounted with lazytime.
Fix this by only passing I_DIRTY_TIME to __mark_inode_dirty() if the
timestamps were updated and the filesystem has lazytime enabled.

Currently inode_init_always() doesn't initialize i_ino to 0. This is
unexpected because unlike the other inode fields that aren't initialized
by inode_init_always(), i_ino isn't guaranteed to end up back at its
initial value after the inode is freed. Only one filesystem (XFS)
actually sets set i_ino back to 0 when freeing its inodes.
So, callers of new_inode() see some random previous i_ino. Normally
that's fine, since normally i_ino isn't accessed before being set.
There can be edge cases where that isn't necessarily true, though.
The one I've run into is that on ext4, when creating an encrypted file,
the new file's encryption key has to be set up prior to the jbd2
transaction, and thus prior to i_ino being set. If something goes
wrong, fs/crypto/ may log warning or error messages, which normally
include i_ino. So it needs to know whether it is valid to include i_ino
yet or not. Also, on some files i_ino needs to be hashed for use in the
crypto, so fs/crypto/ needs to know whether that can be done yet or not.
There are ways this could be worked around, either in fs/crypto/ or in
fs/ext4/. But, it seems there's no reason not to just fix
inode_init_always() to do the expected thing and initialize i_ino to 0.
So, do that, and also remove the initialization in jfs_fill_super() that
becomes redundant.

If generic_drop_inode() returns true, it means iput_final() can evict
this inode regardless of whether it is dirty or not. If we check
I_DONTCACHE in generic_drop_inode(), any inode with this bit set will be
evicted unconditionally. This is not the desired behavior because
I_DONTCACHE only means the inode shouldn't be cached on the LRU list.
As for whether we need to evict this inode, this is what
generic_drop_inode() should do. This patch corrects the usage of
I_DONTCACHE.

Switch the block device lookup interfaces to directly work with a dev_t
so that struct block_device references are only acquired by the
blkdev_get variants (and the blk-cgroup special case). This means that
we now don't need an extra reference in the inode and can generally
simplify handling of struct block_device to keep the lookups contained
in the core block layer code.

Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
"There's some core VFS changes which affect a couple of filesystems:
- Make the inode hash table RCU safe and providing some RCU-safe
accessor functions. The search can then be done without taking the
inode_hash_lock. Care must be taken because the object may be being
deleted and no wait is made.
- Allow iunique() to avoid taking the inode_hash_lock.
- Allow AFS's callback processing to avoid taking the inode_hash_lock
when using the inode table to find an inode to notify.
- Improve Ext4's time updating. Konstantin Khlebnikov said "For now,
I've plugged this issue with try-lock in ext4 lazy time update.
This solution is much better."
Then there's a set of changes to make a number of improvements to the
AFS driver:
- Improve callback (ie. third party change notification) processing
by:
(a) Relying more on the fact we're doing this under RCU and by
using fewer locks. This makes use of the RCU-based inode
searching outlined above.
(b) Moving to keeping volumes in a tree indexed by volume ID
rather than a flat list.
(c) Making the server and volume records logically part of the
cell. This means that a server record now points directly at
the cell and the tree of volumes is there. This removes an N:M
mapping table, simplifying things.
- Improve keeping NAT or firewall channels open for the server
callbacks to reach the client by actively polling the fileserver on
a timed basis, instead of only doing it when we have an operation
to process.
- Improving detection of delayed or lost callbacks by including the
parent directory in the list of file IDs to be queried when doing a
bulk status fetch from lookup. We can then check to see if our copy
of the directory has changed under us without us getting notified.
- Determine aliasing of cells (such as a cell that is pointed to be a
DNS alias). This allows us to avoid having ambiguity due to
apparently different cells using the same volume and file servers.
- Improve the fileserver rotation to do more probing when it detects
that all of the addresses to a server are listed as non-responsive.
It's possible that an address that previously stopped responding
has become responsive again.
Beyond that, lay some foundations for making some calls asynchronous:
- Turn the fileserver cursor struct into a general operation struct
and hang the parameters off of that rather than keeping them in
local variables and hang results off of that rather than the call
struct.
- Implement some general operation handling code and simplify the
callers of operations that affect a volume or a volume component
(such as a file). Most of the operation is now done by core code.
- Operations are supplied with a table of operations to issue
different variants of RPCs and to manage the completion, where all
the required data is held in the operation object, thereby allowing
these to be called from a workqueue.
- Put the standard "if (begin), while(select), call op, end" sequence
into a canned function that just emulates the current behaviour for
now.
There are also some fixes interspersed:
- Don't let the EACCES from ICMP6 mapping reach the user as such,
since it's confusing as to whether it's a filesystem error. Convert
it to EHOSTUNREACH.
- Don't use the epoch value acquired through probing a server. If we
have two servers with the same UUID but in different cells, it's
hard to draw conclusions from them having different epoch values.
- Don't interpret the argument to the CB.ProbeUuid RPC as a
fileserver UUID and look up a fileserver from it.
- Deal with servers in different cells having the same UUIDs. In the
event that a CB.InitCallBackState3 RPC is received, we have to
break the callback promises for every server record matching that
UUID.
- Don't let afs_statfs return values that go below 0.
- Don't use running fileserver probe state to make server selection
and address selection decisions on. Only make decisions on final
state as the running state is cleared at the start of probing"

Make the inode hash table RCU searchable so that searches that want to
access or modify an inode without taking a ref on that inode can do so
without taking the inode hash table lock.
The main thing this requires is some RCU annotation on the list
manipulation operations. Inodes are already freed by RCU in most cases.
Users of this interface must take care as the inode may be still under
construction or may be being torn down around them.
There are at least three instances where this can be of use:
(1) Testing whether the inode number iunique() is going to return is
currently unique (the iunique_lock is still held).
(2) Ext4 date stamp updating.
(3) AFS callback breaking.

is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers

By now, bmap() will either return the physical block number related to
the requested file offset or 0 in case of error or the requested offset
maps into a hole.
This patch makes the needed changes to enable bmap() to proper return
errors, using the return value as an error return, and now, a pointer
must be passed to bmap() to be filled with the mapped physical block.
It will change the behavior of bmap() on return:
- negative value in case of error
- zero on success or map fell into a hole
In case of a hole, the *block will be zero too
Since this is a prep patch, by now, the only error return is -EINVAL if
->bmap doesn't exist.

Casefolded encrypted directories will use a new dirhash method that
requires a secret key. If the directory uses a v2 encryption policy,
it's easy to derive this key from the master key using HKDF. However,
v1 encryption policies don't provide a way to derive additional keys.
Therefore, don't allow casefolding on directories that use a v1 policy.
Specifically, make it so that trying to enable casefolding on a
directory that has a v1 policy fails, trying to set a v1 policy on a
casefolded directory fails, and trying to open a casefolded directory
that has a v1 policy (if one somehow exists on-disk) fails.

ac05fbb inode: don't softlockup when evicting inodes
but there hasn't been an audit of all walkers, so do that now. This
also consistently moves the cond_resched() calls to the bottom of each
loop in cases where it already exists.
One loop remains: remove_dquot_ref(), because I'm not quite sure how

In previous patch, an application could put part of its text section in
THP via madvise(). These THPs will be protected from writes when the
application is still running (TXTBSY). However, after the application
exits, the file is available for writes.
This patch avoids writes to file THP by dropping page cache for the file
when the file is open for write. A new counter nr_thps is added to struct
address_space. In do_dentry_open(), if the file is open for write and
nr_thps is non-zero, we drop page cache for the whole file.

timespec_trunc() function is used to truncate a
filesystem timestamp to the right granularity.
But, the function does not clamp tv_sec part of the
timestamps according to the filesystem timestamp limits.
The replacement api: timestamp_truncate() also alters the
signature of the function to accommodate filesystem
timestamp clamping according to flesystem limits.
Note that the tv_nsec part is set to 0 if tv_sec is not within
the range supported for the filesystem.

Since a28334862993 ("page cache: Finish XArray conversion"), on most
major Linux distributions, the page cache doesn't correctly transition
when the hot data set is changing, and leaves the new pages thrashing
indefinitely instead of kicking out the cold ones.
On a freshly booted, freshly ssh'd into virtual machine with 1G RAM
running stock Arch Linux:
[root@ham ~]# ./reclaimtest.sh

104029/153600 workingset-a
120268/153600 workingset-b
workingset-b is a 600M file on a 1G host that is otherwise entirely
idle. No matter how often it's being accessed, it won't get cached.
While investigating, I noticed that the non-resident information gets
aggressively reclaimed - /proc/vmstat::workingset_nodereclaim. This is
a problem because a workingset transition like this relies on the
non-resident information tracked in the page cache tree of evicted
file ranges: when the cache faults are refaults of recently evicted
cache, we challenge the existing active set, and that allows a new
workingset to establish itself.
Tracing the shrinker that maintains this memory revealed that all page
cache tree nodes were allocated to the root cgroup. This is a problem,
because 1) the shrinker sizes the amount of non-resident information
it keeps to the size of the cgroup's other memory and 2) on most major
Linux distributions, only kernel threads live in the root cgroup and
everything else gets put into services or session groups:
[root@ham ~]# cat /proc/self/cgroup
0::/user.slice/user-0.slice/session-c1.scope
As a result, we basically maintain no non-resident information for the
workloads running on the system, thus breaking the caching algorithm.
Looking through the code, I found the culprit in the above-mentioned
patch: when switching from the radix tree to xarray, it dropped the
__GFP_ACCOUNT flag from the tree node allocations - the flag that
makes sure the allocated memory gets charged to and tracked by the
cgroup of the calling process - in this case, the one doing the fault.
To fix this, allow xarray users to specify per-tree flag that makes
xarray allocate nodes using __GFP_ACCOUNT. Then restore the page cache
tree annotation to request such cgroup tracking for the cache nodes.
With this patch applied, the page cache correctly converges on new
workingsets again after just a few iterations:
[root@ham ~]# ./reclaimtest.sh
+ dd of=workingset-a bs=1M count=0 seek=600
+ cat workingset-a

A lot of ->destroy_inode() instances end with call_rcu() of a callback
that does RCU-delayed part of freeing. Introduce a new method for
doing just that, with saner signature.
Rules:
->destroy_inode ->free_inode
f g immediate call of f(),
RCU-delayed call of g()
f NULL immediate call of f(),
no RCU-delayed calls
NULL g RCU-delayed call of g()
NULL NULL RCU-delayed default freeing
IOW, NULL ->free_inode gives the same behaviour as now.
Note that NULL, NULL is equivalent to NULL, free_inode_nonrcu; we could
mandate the latter form, but that would have very little benefit beyond
making rules a bit more symmetric. It would break backwards compatibility,
require extra boilerplate and expected semantics for (NULL, NULL) pair
would have no use whatsoever...

file_remove_privs() might be called for non-regular files, e.g.
blkdev inode. There is no reason to do its job on things
like blkdev inodes, pipes, or cdevs. Hence, abort if
file does not refer to a regular inode.
AV: more to the point, for devices there might be any number of
inodes refering to given device. Which one to strip the permissions
from, even if that made any sense in the first place? All of them
will be observed with contents modified, after all.

For some reason, the conversion of the VFS code away from 'struct timespec'
left one function behind that still uses it, for absolutely no reason.
Using timespec64 will make the atime update logic work correctly past
y2038.

It seems that commits 5f16f3225b0624 and 00a1a053ebe5, both with same
commitlog ("ext4: atomically set inode->i_flags in ext4_set_inode_flags()")
introduced the set_mask_bits API, but somehow missed not using it in ext4
in the end.
Also, set_mask_bits() is used in fs quite a bit and we can possibly come
up with a generic llsc based implementation (w/o the cmpxchg loop)

This reverts commit a76cf1a474d7d ("mm: don't reclaim inodes with many
attached pages").
This change causes serious changes to page cache and inode cache
behaviour and balance, resulting in major performance regressions when
combining worklaods such as large file copies and kernel compiles.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202441
This change is a hack to work around the problems introduced by changing
how agressive shrinkers are on small caches in commit 172b06c32b94 ("mm:
slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects"). It
creates more problems than it solves, wasn't adequately reviewed or
tested, so it needs to be reverted.

Pull y2038 updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"More syscalls and cleanups
This concludes the main part of the system call rework for 64-bit
time_t, which has spread over most of year 2018, the last six system
calls being
- ppoll
- pselect6
- io_pgetevents
- recvmmsg
- futex
- rt_sigtimedwait
As before, nothing changes for 64-bit architectures, while 32-bit
architectures gain another entry point that differs only in the layout
of the timespec structure. Hopefully in the next release we can wire
up all 22 of those system calls on all 32-bit architectures, which
gives us a baseline version for glibc to start using them.
This does not include the clock_adjtime, getrusage/waitid, and
getitimer/setitimer system calls. I still plan to have new versions of
those as well, but they are not required for correct operation of the
C library since they can be emulated using the old 32-bit time_t based
system calls.
Aside from the system calls, there are also a few cleanups here,
removing old kernel internal interfaces that have become unused after
all references got removed. The arch/sh cleanups are part of this,
there were posted several times over the past year without a reaction
from the maintainers, while the corresponding changes made it into all
other architectures"

current_time is the last remaining caller of current_kernel_time64(),
which is a wrapper around ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64(). This calls the
latter directly for consistency with the rest of the kernel that is moving
to the ktime_get_ family of time accessors, as now documented in
Documentation/core-api/timekeeping.rst.
An open questions is whether we may want to actually call the more
accurate ktime_get_real_ts64() for file systems that save high-resolution
timestamps in their on-disk format. This would add a small overhead to
each update of the inode stamps but lead to inode timestamps to actually
have a usable resolution better than one jiffy (1 to 10 milliseconds
normally). Experiments on a variety of hardware platforms show a typical
time of around 100 CPU cycles to read the cycle counter and calculate the
accurate time from that. On old platforms without a cycle counter, this
can be signiciantly higher, up to several microseconds to access a
hardware clock, but those have become very rare by now.
I traced the original addition of the current_kernel_time() call to set
the nanosecond fields back to linux-2.5.48, where Andi Kleen added a patch
with subject "nanosecond stat timefields". Andi explains that the
motivation was to introduce as little overhead as possible back then. At
this time, reading the clock hardware was also more expensive when most
architectures did not have a cycle counter.
One side effect of having more accurate inode timestamp would be having to
write out the inode every time that mtime/ctime/atime get touched on most
systems, whereas many file systems today only write it when the timestamps
have changed, i.e. at most once per jiffy unless something else changes
as well. That change would certainly be noticed in some workloads, which
is enough reason to not do it without a good reason, regardless of the
cost of reading the time.
One thing we could still consider however would be to round the timestamps
from current_time() to multiples of NSEC_PER_JIFFY, e.g. full
milliseconds rather than having six or seven meaningless but confusing
digits at the end of the timestamp.

Spock reported that commit 172b06c32b94 ("mm: slowly shrink slabs with a
relatively small number of objects") leads to a regression on his setup:
periodically the majority of the pagecache is evicted without an obvious
reason, while before the change the amount of free memory was balancing
around the watermark.
The reason behind is that the mentioned above change created some
minimal background pressure on the inode cache. The problem is that if
an inode is considered to be reclaimed, all belonging pagecache page are
stripped, no matter how many of them are there. So, if a huge
multi-gigabyte file is cached in the memory, and the goal is to reclaim
only few slab objects (unused inodes), we still can eventually evict all
gigabytes of the pagecache at once.
The workload described by Spock has few large non-mapped files in the
pagecache, so it's especially noticeable.
To solve the problem let's postpone the reclaim of inodes, which have
more than 1 attached page. Let's wait until the pagecache pages will be
evicted naturally by scanning the corresponding LRU lists, and only then
reclaim the inode structure.
