Container admin can create new namespaces and force kernel to allocate up
to several pages of memory for the namespaces and its associated
structures.
Net and uts namespaces have enabled accounting for such allocations. It
makes sense to account for rest ones to restrict the host's memory
consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.

Patch series "memcg accounting from OpenVZ", v7.
OpenVZ uses memory accounting 20+ years since v2.2.x linux kernels.
Initially we used our own accounting subsystem, then partially committed
it to upstream, and a few years ago switched to cgroups v1. Now we're
rebasing again, revising our old patches and trying to push them upstream.
We try to protect the host system from any misuse of kernel memory
allocation triggered by untrusted users inside the containers.
Patch-set is addressed mostly to cgroups maintainers and cgroups@ mailing
list, though I would be very grateful for any comments from maintainersi
of affected subsystems or other people added in cc:
Compared to the upstream, we additionally account the following kernel objects:
- network devices and its Tx/Rx queues
- ipv4/v6 addresses and routing-related objects
- inet_bind_bucket cache objects
- VLAN group arrays
- ipv6/sit: ip_tunnel_prl
- scm_fp_list objects used by SCM_RIGHTS messages of Unix sockets
- nsproxy and namespace objects itself
- IPC objects: semaphores, message queues and share memory segments
- mounts
- pollfd and select bits arrays
- signals and posix timers
- file lock
- fasync_struct used by the file lease code and driver's fasync queues
- tty objects
- per-mm LDT
We have an incorrect/incomplete/obsoleted accounting for few other kernel
objects: sk_filter, af_packets, netlink and xt_counters for iptables.
They require rework and probably will be dropped at all.
Also we're going to add an accounting for nft, however it is not ready
yet.
We have not tested performance on upstream, however, our performance team
compares our current RHEL7-based production kernel and reports that they
are at least not worse as the according original RHEL7 kernel.
This patch (of 10):
The kernel allocates ~400 bytes of 'struct mount' for any new mount.
Creating a new mount namespace clones most of the parent mounts, and this
can be repeated many times. Additionally, each mount allocates up to
PATH_MAX=4096 bytes for mnt->mnt_devname.
It makes sense to account for these allocations to restrict the host's
memory consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.

Pull move_mount updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains an extension to the move_mount() syscall making it
possible to add a single private mount into an existing propagation

The use-case comes from the criu folks which have been struggling with
restoring complex mount trees for a long time. Variations of this work
have been discussed at Plumbers before, e.g.
https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/contributions/640/
The extension to move_mount() enables criu to restore any set of mount
namespaces, mount trees and sharing group trees without introducing
yet more complexity into mount propagation itself.
The changes required to criu to make use of this and restore complex
propagation trees are available at

We added CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING in 2015, and soon after turned it
off in Fedora and RHEL8. Several other distros have followed suit.
I've heard of one problem in all that time: Someone migrated from an
older distro that supported "-o mand" to one that didn't, and the host
had a fstab entry with "mand" in it which broke on reboot. They didn't
actually _use_ mandatory locking so they just removed the mount option
and moved on.
This patch rips out mandatory locking support wholesale from the kernel,
along with the Kconfig option and the Documentation file. It also
changes the mount code to ignore the "mand" mount option instead of
erroring out, and to throw a big, ugly warning.

Previously a sharing group (shared and master ids pair) can be only
inherited when mount is created via bindmount. This patch adds an
ability to add an existing private mount into an existing sharing group.
With this functionality one can first create the desired mount tree from
only private mounts (without the need to care about undesired mount
propagation or mount creation order implied by sharing group
dependencies), and next then setup any desired mount sharing between
those mounts in tree as needed.
This allows CRIU to restore any set of mount namespaces, mount trees and
sharing group trees for a container.
We have many issues with restoring mounts in CRIU related to sharing
groups and propagation:
- reverse sharing groups vs mount tree order requires complex mounts
reordering which mostly implies also using some temporary mounts
(please see https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/3/23/569 for more info)
- mount() syscall creates tons of mounts due to propagation
- mount re-parenting due to propagation
- "Mount Trap" due to propagation
- "Non Uniform" propagation, meaning that with different tricks with
mount order and temporary children-"lock" mounts one can create mount
trees which can't be restored without those tricks
(see https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/contributions/640/)
With this new functionality we can resolve all the problems with
propagation at once.

Commit dab741e0e02b ("Add a "nosymfollow" mount option.") added support
for the "nosymfollow" mount option allowing to block following symlinks
when resolving paths. The mount option so far was only available in the
old mount api. Make it available in the new mount api as well. Bonus is
that it can be applied to a whole subtree not just a single mount.

We currently don't have any filesystems that support idmapped mounts
which are mountable inside a user namespace. That was a deliberate
decision for now as a userns root can just mount the filesystem
themselves. So enforce this restriction explicitly until there's a real
use-case for this. This way we can notice it and will have a chance to
adapt and audit our translation helpers and fstests appropriately if we
need to support such filesystems.

Introduce a new mount bind mount property to allow idmapping mounts. The
MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag can be set via the new mount_setattr() syscall
together with a file descriptor referring to a user namespace.
The user namespace referenced by the namespace file descriptor will be
attached to the bind mount. All interactions with the filesystem going
through that mount will be mapped according to the mapping specified in
the user namespace attached to it.
Using user namespaces to mark mounts means we can reuse all the existing
infrastructure in the kernel that already exists to handle idmappings
and can also use this for permission checking to allow unprivileged user
to create idmapped mounts in the future.
Idmapping a mount is decoupled from the caller's user and mount
namespace. This means idmapped mounts can be created in the initial
user namespace which is an important use-case for systemd-homed,
portable usb-sticks between systems, sharing data between the initial
user namespace and unprivileged containers, and other use-cases that
have been brought up. For example, assume a home directory where all
files are owned by uid and gid 1000 and the home directory is brought to
a new laptop where the user has id 12345. The system administrator can
simply create a mount of this home directory with a mapping of
1000:12345:1 and other mappings to indicate the ids should be kept.
(With this it is e.g. also possible to create idmapped mounts on the
host with an identity mapping 1:1:100000 where the root user is not
mapped. A user with root access that e.g. has been pivot rooted into
such a mount on the host will be not be able to execute, read, write, or
create files as root.)
Given that mapping a mount is decoupled from the caller's user namespace
a sufficiently privileged process such as a container manager can set up
an idmapped mount for the container and the container can simply pivot
root to it. There's no need for the container to do anything. The mount
will appear correctly mapped independent of the user namespace the
container uses. This means we don't need to mark a mount as idmappable.
In order to create an idmapped mount the caller must currently be
privileged in the user namespace of the superblock the mount belongs to.
Once a mount has been idmapped we don't allow it to change its mapping.
This keeps permission checking and life-cycle management simple. Users
wanting to change the idmapped can always create a new detached mount
with a different idmapping.

This implements the missing mount_setattr() syscall. While the new mount
api allows to change the properties of a superblock there is currently
no way to change the properties of a mount or a mount tree using file
descriptors which the new mount api is based on. In addition the old
mount api has the restriction that mount options cannot be applied
recursively. This hasn't changed since changing mount options on a
per-mount basis was implemented in [1] and has been a frequent request
not just for convenience but also for security reasons. The legacy
mount syscall is unable to accommodate this behavior without introducing
a whole new set of flags because MS_REC | MS_REMOUNT | MS_BIND |
MS_RDONLY | MS_NOEXEC | [...] only apply the mount option to the topmost
mount. Changing MS_REC to apply to the whole mount tree would mean
introducing a significant uapi change and would likely cause significant
regressions.
The new mount_setattr() syscall allows to recursively clear and set
mount options in one shot. Multiple calls to change mount options
requesting the same changes are idempotent:
int mount_setattr(int dfd, const char *path, unsigned flags,
struct mount_attr *uattr, size_t usize);
Flags to modify path resolution behavior are specified in the @flags
argument. Currently, AT_EMPTY_PATH, AT_RECURSIVE, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW,
and AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT are supported. If useful, additional lookup flags to
restrict path resolution as introduced with openat2() might be supported
in the future.
The mount_setattr() syscall can be expected to grow over time and is
designed with extensibility in mind. It follows the extensible syscall
pattern we have used with other syscalls such as openat2(), clone3(),
sched_{set,get}attr(), and others.
The set of mount options is passed in the uapi struct mount_attr which
currently has the following layout:
struct mount_attr {
__u64 attr_set;
__u64 attr_clr;
__u64 propagation;
__u64 userns_fd;
};
The @attr_set and @attr_clr members are used to clear and set mount
options. This way a user can e.g. request that a set of flags is to be
raised such as turning mounts readonly by raising MOUNT_ATTR_RDONLY in
@attr_set while at the same time requesting that another set of flags is
to be lowered such as removing noexec from a mount tree by specifying
MOUNT_ATTR_NOEXEC in @attr_clr.
Note, since the MOUNT_ATTR_<atime> values are an enum starting from 0,
not a bitmap, users wanting to transition to a different atime setting
cannot simply specify the atime setting in @attr_set, but must also
specify MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME in the @attr_clr field. So we ensure that
MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME can't be partially set in @attr_clr and that @attr_set
can't have any atime bits set if MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME isn't set in
@attr_clr.
The @propagation field lets callers specify the propagation type of a
mount tree. Propagation is a single property that has four different
settings and as such is not really a flag argument but an enum.
Specifically, it would be unclear what setting and clearing propagation
settings in combination would amount to. The legacy mount() syscall thus
forbids the combination of multiple propagation settings too. The goal
is to keep the semantics of mount propagation somewhat simple as they
are overly complex as it is.
The @userns_fd field lets user specify a user namespace whose idmapping
becomes the idmapping of the mount. This is implemented and explained in
detail in the next patch.

do_reconfigure_mnt() used to take the down_write(&sb->s_umount) lock
which seems unnecessary since we're not changing the superblock. We're
only checking whether it is already read-only. Setting other mount
attributes is protected by lock_mount_hash() afaict and not by s_umount.
The history of down_write(&sb->s_umount) lock being taken when setting
mount attributes dates back to the introduction of MNT_READONLY in [2].
This introduced the concept of having read-only mounts in contrast to
just having a read-only superblock. When it got introduced it was simply
plumbed into do_remount() which already took down_write(&sb->s_umount)
because it was only used to actually change the superblock before [2].
Afaict, it would've already been possible back then to only use
down_read(&sb->s_umount) for MS_BIND | MS_REMOUNT since actual mount
options were protected by the vfsmount lock already. But that would've
meant special casing the locking for MS_BIND | MS_REMOUNT in
do_remount() which people might not have considered worth it.
Then in [1] MS_BIND | MS_REMOUNT mount option changes were split out of
do_remount() into do_reconfigure_mnt() but the down_write(&sb->s_umount)
lock was simply copied over.
Now that we have this be a separate helper only take the
down_read(&sb->s_umount) lock since we're only interested in checking
whether the super block is currently read-only and blocking any writers
from changing it. Essentially, checking that the super block is
read-only has the advantage that we can avoid having to go into the
slowpath and through MNT_WRITE_HOLD and can simply set the read-only
flag on the mount in set_mount_attributes().

The lock_mount_hash() and unlock_mount_hash() helpers are never called
outside a single file. Remove them from the header and make them static
to reflect this fact. There's no need to have them callable from other

Changing mount options always ends up taking lock_mount_hash() but when
MNT_READONLY is requested and neither the mount nor the superblock are
MNT_READONLY we end up taking the lock, dropping it, and retaking it to
change the other mount attributes. Instead, let's acquire the lock once
when changing the mount attributes. This simplifies the locking in these
codepath, makes them easier to reason about and avoids having to
reacquire the lock right after dropping it.

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.
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.
Later patches enforce that once a mount has been idmapped it can't be
remapped. This keeps permission checking and life-cycle management
simple. Users wanting to change the idmapped can always create a new
detached mount with a different idmapping.
Add a new mnt_userns member to vfsmount and two simple helpers to
retrieve the mnt_userns from vfsmounts and files.
The idea to attach user namespaces to vfsmounts has been floated around
in various forms at Linux Plumbers in ~2018 with the original idea
tracing back to a discussion in 2017 at a conference in St. Petersburg
between Christoph, Tycho, and myself.

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.

There's no need for mnt_want_write_file() to increment mnt_writers when
the file is already open for writing, provided that
mnt_drop_write_file() is changed to conditionally decrement it.
We seem to have ended up in the current situation because
mnt_want_write_file() used to be paired with mnt_drop_write(), due to
mnt_drop_write_file() not having been added yet. So originally
mnt_want_write_file() had to always increment mnt_writers.
But later mnt_drop_write_file() was added, and all callers of
mnt_want_write_file() were paired with it. This makes the compatibility
between mnt_want_write_file() and mnt_drop_write() no longer necessary.
Therefore, make __mnt_want_write_file() and __mnt_drop_write_file() skip
incrementing mnt_writers on files already open for writing. This
removes the only caller of mnt_clone_write(), so remove that too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Switch over mount namespaces to use the newly introduced common lifetime
counter.
Currently every namespace type has its own lifetime counter which is stored
in the specific namespace struct. The lifetime counters are used
identically for all namespaces types. Namespaces may of course have
additional unrelated counters and these are not altered.
This introduces a common lifetime counter into struct ns_common. The
ns_common struct encompasses information that all namespaces share. That
should include the lifetime counter since its common for all of them.
It also allows us to unify the type of the counters across all namespaces.
Most of them use refcount_t but one uses atomic_t and at least one uses
kref. Especially the last one doesn't make much sense since it's just a
wrapper around refcount_t since 2016 and actually complicates cleanup
operations by having to use container_of() to cast the correct namespace
struct out of struct ns_common.
Having the lifetime counter for the namespaces in one place reduces
maintenance cost. Not just because after switching all namespaces over we
will have removed more code than we added but also because the logic is
more easily understandable and we indicate to the user that the basic
lifetime requirements for all namespaces are currently identical.

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 otherwise
3) 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.

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.

"We have been discussing using pidfds to attach to namespaces for quite
a while and the patches have in one form or another already existed
for about a year. But I wanted to wait to see how the general api
would be received and adopted.
This contains the changes to make it possible to use pidfds to attach
to the namespaces of a 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.
Apart from significantly reducing the number of syscalls needed to
attach to all currently supported namespaces (eight "open+setns"
sequences vs just a single "setns()"), this also allows atomic setns
to a set of namespaces, i.e. either attaching to all namespaces
succeeds or we fail without having changed anything.
This is centered around a new internal struct nsset which holds all
information necessary for a task to switch to a new set of namespaces
atomically. Fwiw, with this change a pidfd becomes the only token
needed to interact with a container. I'm expecting this to be
picked-up by util-linux for nsenter rather soon.

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.

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/<pid>/ns/<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().

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.
