git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro: "Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually _stored_ anywhere. That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self). Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag (DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set claims responsibility for +1 in refcount. The end result this series is aiming for: - get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear persistency flag. - instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't been removed prior to umount), have the regular shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries, dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super(). Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series. This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary pieces have already gone into mainline.

4 daysautofs: fix per-dentry timeout warningIan Kent
The check that determines if the message that warns about the per-dentry timeout being greater than the super block timeout is not correct. The initial value for this field is -1 and the type of the field is unsigned long. I could change the type to long but the message is in the wrong place too, it should come after the timeout setting. So leave everything else as it is and move the message and check the timeout is actually set as an additional condition on issuing the message. Also fix the timeout comparison.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner: "This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install() that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires cumbersome cleanup paths. FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately: fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device)); if (fd < 0) vfio_device_put_registration(device); return fd; FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or additional work before publishing: FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file->file); if (fdf.err) { fput(sync_file->file); return fdf.err; } data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf); if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &data, sizeof(data))) return -EFAULT; return fd_publish(fdf); The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE() encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called, both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller. I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup infrastructure while also being usable separately.

2025-11-19autofs: dont trigger mount if it cant succeedIan Kent
If a mount namespace contains autofs mounts, and they are propagation private, and there is no namespace specific automount daemon to handle possible automounting then attempted path resolution will loop until MAXSYMLINKS is reached before failing causing quite a bit of noise in the log. Add a check for this in autofs ->d_automount() so that the VFS can immediately return an error in this case. Since the mount is propagation private an EPERM return seems most appropriate.

2025-04-08VFS: rename lookup_one_len family to lookup_noperm and remove permission checkNeilBrown
The lookup_one_len family of functions is (now) only used internally by a filesystem on itself either - in a context where permission checking is irrelevant such as by a virtual filesystem populating itself, or xfs accessing its ORPHANAGE or dquota accessing the quota file; or - in a context where a permission check (MAY_EXEC on the parent) has just been performed such as a network filesystem finding in "silly-rename" file in the same directory. This is also the context after the _parentat() functions where currently lookup_one_qstr_excl() is used. So the permission check is pointless. The name "one_len" is unhelpful in understanding the purpose of these functions and should be changed. Most of the callers pass the len as "strlen()" so using a qstr and QSTR() can simplify the code. This patch renames these functions (include lookup_positive_unlocked() which is part of the family despite the name) to have a name based on "lookup_noperm". They are changed to receive a 'struct qstr' instead of separate name and len. In a few cases the use of QSTR() results in a new call to strlen(). try_lookup_noperm() takes a pointer to a qstr instead of the whole qstr. This is consistent with d_hash_and_lookup() (which is nearly identical) and useful for lookup_noperm_unlocked(). The new lookup_noperm_common() doesn't take a qstr yet. That will be tidied up in a subsequent patch.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner: - Mount notifications The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with fanotify to listen for mount topology changes. Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are generated. The generated notification record contains the unique mount id of the mount. The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed information about the mount using the received unique mount id. This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo in userspace. - Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount api - Support detached mounts in overlayfs Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means userspace cannot user file descriptors received via open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first. This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount(). Allow them to directly use detached mounts. - Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which allows to read the idmapping from the mount. - Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any way. The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation for userspace. - Add a way to query statmount() for supported options Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved through statmount(). - Allow superblock owners to force unmount * tag 'vfs-6.15-rc1.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (21 commits) umount: Allow superblock owners to force umount selftests: add tests for mount notification selinux: add FILE__WATCH_MOUNTNS samples/vfs: fix printf format string for size_t fs: allow changing idmappings fs: add kflags member to struct mount_kattr fs: add open_tree_attr() fs: add copy_mount_setattr() helper fs: add vfs_open_tree() helper statmount: add a new supported_mask field samples/vfs: add STATMOUNT_MNT_{G,U}IDMAP selftests: add tests for using detached mount with overlayfs samples/vfs: check whether flag was raised statmount: allow to retrieve idmappings uidgid: add map_id_range_up() fs: allow detached mounts in clone_private_mount() selftests/overlayfs: test specifying layers as O_PATH file descriptors fs: support O_PATH fds with FSCONFIG_SET_FD vfs: add notifications for mount attach and detach fanotify: notify on mount attach and detach ...
2025-03-18VFS/autofs: try_lookup_one_len() does not need any locksNeilBrown
try_lookup_one_len() is identical to lookup_one_unlocked() except that it doesn't include the call to lookup_slow(). The latter doesn't need the inode to be locked, so the former cannot either. So fix the documentation, remove the WARN_ON and fix the only caller to not take the lock.

2025-02-27Change inode_operations.mkdir to return struct dentry *NeilBrown
Some filesystems, such as NFS, cifs, ceph, and fuse, do not have complete control of sequencing on the actual filesystem (e.g. on a different server) and may find that the inode created for a mkdir request already exists in the icache and dcache by the time the mkdir request returns. For example, if the filesystem is mounted twice the directory could be visible on the other mount before it is on the original mount, and a pair of name_to_handle_at(), open_by_handle_at() calls could instantiate the directory inode with an IS_ROOT() dentry before the first mkdir returns. This means that the dentry passed to ->mkdir() may not be the one that is associated with the inode after the ->mkdir() completes. Some callers need to interact with the inode after the ->mkdir completes and they currently need to perform a lookup in the (rare) case that the dentry is no longer hashed. This lookup-after-mkdir requires that the directory remains locked to avoid races. Planned future patches to lock the dentry rather than the directory will mean that this lookup cannot be performed atomically with the mkdir. To remove this barrier, this patch changes ->mkdir to return the resulting dentry if it is different from the one passed in. Possible returns are: NULL - the directory was created and no other dentry was used ERR_PTR() - an error occurred non-NULL - this other dentry was spliced in This patch only changes file-systems to return "ERR_PTR(err)" instead of "err" or equivalent transformations. Subsequent patches will make further changes to some file-systems to return a correct dentry. Not all filesystems reliably result in a positive hashed dentry: - NFS, cifs, hostfs will sometimes need to perform a lookup of the name to get inode information. Races could result in this returning something different. Note that this lookup is non-atomic which is what we are trying to avoid. Placing the lookup in filesystem code means it only happens when the filesystem has no other option. - kernfs and tracefs leave the dentry negative and the ->revalidate operation ensures that lookup will be called to correctly populate the dentry. This could be fixed but I don't think it is important to any of the users of vfs_mkdir() which look at the dentry. The recommendation to use d_drop();d_splice_alias() is ugly but fits with current practice. A planned future patch will change this.

2024-08-30autofs: add per dentry expire timeoutIan Kent
Add ability to set per-dentry mount expire timeout to autofs. There are two fairly well known automounter map formats, the autofs format and the amd format (more or less System V and Berkley). Some time ago Linux autofs added an amd map format parser that implemented a fair amount of the amd functionality. This was done within the autofs infrastructure and some functionality wasn't implemented because it either didn't make sense or required extra kernel changes. The idea was to restrict changes to be within the existing autofs functionality as much as possible and leave changes with a wider scope to be considered later. One of these changes is implementing the amd options: 1) "unmount", expire this mount according to a timeout (same as the current autofs default). 2) "nounmount", don't expire this mount (same as setting the autofs timeout to 0 except only for this specific mount) . 3) "utimeout=<seconds>", expire this mount using the specified timeout (again same as setting the autofs timeout but only for this mount). To implement these options per-dentry expire timeouts need to be implemented for autofs indirect mounts. This is because all map keys (mounts) for autofs indirect mounts use an expire timeout stored in the autofs mount super block info. structure and all indirect mounts use the same expire timeout. Now I have a request to add the "nounmount" option so I need to add the per-dentry expire handling to the kernel implementation to do this. The implementation uses the trailing path component to identify the mount (and is also used as the autofs map key) which is passed in the autofs_dev_ioctl structure path field. The expire timeout is passed in autofs_dev_ioctl timeout field (well, of the timeout union). If the passed in timeout is equal to -1 the per-dentry timeout and flag are cleared providing for the "unmount" option. If the timeout is greater than or equal to 0 the timeout is set to the value and the flag is also set. If the dentry timeout is 0 the dentry will not expire by timeout which enables the implementation of the "nounmount" option for the specific mount. When the dentry timeout is greater than zero it allows for the implementation of the "utimeout=<seconds>" option.

2023-10-24autofs: fix add autofs_parse_fd()Ian Kent
We are seeing systemd hang on its autofs direct mount at /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc. Historically this was due to a mismatch in the communication structure size between a 64 bit kernel and a 32 bit user space and was fixed by making the pipe communication record oriented. During autofs v5 development I decided to stay with the existing usage instead of changing to a packed structure for autofs <=> user space communications which turned out to be a mistake on my part. Problems arose and they were fixed by allowing for the 64 bit to 32 bit size difference in the automount(8) code. Along the way systemd started to use autofs and eventually encountered this problem too. systemd refused to compensate for the length difference insisting it be fixed in the kernel. Fortunately Linus implemented the packetized pipe which resolved the problem in a straight forward and simple way. In the autofs mount api conversion series I inadvertatly dropped the packet pipe flag settings when adding the autofs_parse_fd() function. This patch fixes that omission.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner: "This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs, xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant filesystems. The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes. Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the client decide to invalidate the cache. Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps (e.g., backup applications). If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates. This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are actively queried. This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one. As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used. Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use coarse-grained timestamps. Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included: - Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all maintainers provided necessary Acks. - Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented as requiring accessors. - Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in. - Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers. - Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it removing a bunch of open-coding" * tag 'v6.6-vfs.ctime' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (107 commits) btrfs: convert to multigrain timestamps ext4: switch to multigrain timestamps xfs: switch to multigrain timestamps tmpfs: add support for multigrain timestamps fs: add infrastructure for multigrain timestamps fs: drop the timespec64 argument from update_time xfs: have xfs_vn_update_time gets its own timestamp fat: make fat_update_time get its own timestamp fat: remove i_version handling from fat_update_time ubifs: have ubifs_update_time use inode_update_timestamps btrfs: have it use inode_update_timestamps fs: drop the timespec64 arg from generic_update_time fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr fs: remove silly warning from current_time gfs2: fix timestamp handling on quota inodes fs: rename i_ctime field to __i_ctime selinux: convert to ctime accessor functions security: convert to ctime accessor functions apparmor: convert to ctime accessor functions sunrpc: convert to ctime accessor functions ...

Otherwise they will be lost. In this case an AUTOFS_IOC_EXPIRE_MULTI ioctl is done, then a new waitqueue struct is allocated in autofs_wait(), its initial wait_ctr equals 2. After that wait_event_killable() is interrupted (it returns -ERESTARTSYS), so that 'wq->name.name == NULL' condition may be not satisfied. Actually, this condition can be satisfied when autofs_wait_release() or autofs_catatonic_mode() is called and, what is also important, wait_ctr is decremented in those places. Upon the exit of autofs_wait(), wait_ctr is decremented to 1. Then the unmounting process begins: kill_sb calls autofs_catatonic_mode(), which should have freed the waitqueues, but it only decrements its usage counter to zero which is not a correct behaviour. edit:imk This description is of course not correct. The umount performed as a result of an expire is a umount of a mount that has been automounted, it's not the autofs mount itself. They happen independently, usually after everything mounted within the autofs file system has been expired away. If everything hasn't been expired away the automount daemon can still exit leaving mounts in place. But expires done in both cases will result in a notification that calls autofs_wait_release() with a result status. The problem case is the summary execution of of the automount daemon. In this case any waiting processes won't be woken up until either they are terminated or the mount is umounted. end edit: imk So in catatonic mode we should free waitqueues which counter becomes zero. edit: imk Initially I was concerned that the calling of autofs_wait_release() and autofs_catatonic_mode() was not mutually exclusive but that can't be the case (obviously) because the queue entry (or entries) is removed from the list when either of these two functions are called. Consequently the wait entry will be freed by only one of these functions or by the woken process in autofs_wait() depending on the order of the calls. end edit: imk Reported-by: syzbot+5e53f70e69ff0c0a1c0c@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Suggested-by: Takeshi Misawa <jeliantsurux@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Fedor Pchelkin <pchelkin@ispras.ru> Signed-off-by: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@ispras.ru> Signed-off-by: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Andrei Vagin <avagin@gmail.com> Cc: autofs@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Message-Id: <169112719161.7590.6700123246297365841.stgit@donald.themaw.net> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
