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. This chunk is finally getting
to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
to it.
Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
that stuff is here"

The ro variable, being of type bool, caused the -EROFS return value from
mnt_want_write() to be implicitly converted to 1. This prevented the file
from being correctly acquired, thus triggering the issue reported by
syzbot [1].
Changing the type of ro to int allows the system to correctly identify
the reason for the file open failure.

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. IOW, it's centered
around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"

Pull directory locking updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to add centralized APIs for directory locking
operations.
This series is part of a larger effort to change directory operation
locking to allow multiple concurrent operations in a directory. The
ultimate goal is to lock the target dentry(s) rather than the whole
parent directory.
To help with changing the locking protocol, this series centralizes
locking and lookup in new helper functions. The helpers establish a
pattern where it is the dentry that is being locked and unlocked
(currently the lock is held on dentry->d_parent->d_inode, but that can
change in the future).
This also changes vfs_mkdir() to unlock the parent on failure, as well
as dput()ing the dentry. This allows end_creating() to only require
the target dentry (which may be IS_ERR() after vfs_mkdir()), not the
parent"

vfs_mkdir() already drops the reference to the dentry on failure but it
leaves the parent locked.
This complicates end_creating() which needs to unlock the parent even
though the dentry is no longer available.
If we change vfs_mkdir() to unlock on failure as well as releasing the
dentry, we can remove the "parent" arg from end_creating() and simplify
the rules for calling it.
Note that cachefiles_get_directory() can choose to substitute an error
instead of actually calling vfs_mkdir(), for fault injection. In that
case it needs to call end_creating(), just as vfs_mkdir() now does on
error.
ovl_create_real() will now unlock on error. So the conditional
end_creating() after the call is removed, and end_creating() is called
internally on error.

xfs, fuse, ipc/mqueue need variants of start_creating or start_removing
which do not check permissions.
This patch adds _noperm versions of these functions.
Note that do_mq_open() was only calling mntget() so it could call
path_put() - it didn't really need an extra reference on the mnt.
Now it doesn't call mntget() and uses end_creating() which does
the dput() half of path_put().
Also mq_unlink() previously passed
d_inode(dentry->d_parent)
as the dir inode to vfs_unlink(). This is after locking
d_inode(mnt->mnt_root)
These two inodes are the same, but normally calls use the textual
parent.
So I've changes the vfs_unlink() call to be given d_inode(mnt->mnt_root).

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace
infrastructure of the kernel.
Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct
ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so
on.
We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type
that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new
changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up.
The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every
namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings
from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace
type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a
single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives
the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will
yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy.
The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum()
and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the
network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about.
Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference
counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even
though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open
accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a
very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do
for e.g., files.
In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration
infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes
it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all
mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller
holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts
in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system
call.
Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the
systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a
unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the
concept to all other namespace types.
The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by
their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and
bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate
through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree
works completely locklessly.
This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic
infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct
mnt_namespace itself.
There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for
now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept
introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have
supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very
useful.
This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible
to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common
name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis.
As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive,
meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in
able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle.
Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the
kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode
the file handle.
Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which
means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's
irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate
/proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the
namespace based on a pidfd already.
It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for
the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any
resources and to compare them trivially.
Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the
namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise
they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant
namespace.
The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable
and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace
identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable
format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file
handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already
allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles"

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.
While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.
Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of callees to
sys_clone3/copy_process (excluding the architecture-specific
copy_thread) to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that
no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.

Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm:
introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback").
This is preferred to the existing f_op->mmap() hook as it does require
a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke
this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual
address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations.
This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a
single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly
reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state.
Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of
incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been
the cause of bugs and complexity in the past.
The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op->mmap, and in that vein this
series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op->mmap_prepare.
Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap
capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than
directly checking for f_op->mmap (which is now not a valid check) and
secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA
parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted.
Commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for
nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file
systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow
f_op->mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op->mmap() callback.
This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly
with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we
finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed.
As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they
can nest all other file systems.
We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to
remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later
series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping
insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs,
syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.
We shall return to all of these later"

- all mnt_list uses are transient now - it's used only to
represent temporary sets during umount_tree()
- mount refcounting change: children no longer pin parents for any
mounts, whether they'd passed through umount_tree() or not
- 'struct mountpoint' changes:
- refcount is no more; what matters is ->m_list emptiness
- instead of temporary bumping the refcount, we insert a new
object (pinned_mountpoint) into ->m_list
- new calling conventions for lock_mount() and friends
- do_move_mount()/attach_recursive_mnt() seriously cleaned up
- globals in fs/pnode.c are gone
- propagate_mnt(), change_mnt_propagation() and propagate_umount()
cleaned up (in the last case - pretty much completely rewritten).
- freeing of emptied mnt_namespace is done in namespace_unlock(). For
one thing, there are subtle ordering requirements there; for another
it simplifies cleanups.
- assorted cleanups
- restore the machinery for long-term mounts from accumulated bitrot.

Original rationale for those had been the reduced cost of mntput()
for the stuff that is mounted somewhere. Mount refcount increments and
decrements are frequent; what's worse, they tend to concentrate on the
same instances and cacheline pingpong is quite noticable.
As the result, mount refcounts are per-cpu; that allows a very cheap
increment. Plain decrement would be just as easy, but decrement-and-test
is anything but (we need to add the components up, with exclusion against
possible increment-from-zero, etc.).
Fortunately, there is a very common case where we can tell that decrement
won't be the final one - if the thing we are dropping is currently
mounted somewhere. We have an RCU delay between the removal from mount
tree and dropping the reference that used to pin it there, so we can
just take rcu_read_lock() and check if the victim is mounted somewhere.
If it is, we can go ahead and decrement without and further checks -
the reference we are dropping is not the last one. If it isn't, we
get all the fun with locking, carefully adding up components, etc.,
but the majority of refcount decrements end up taking the fast path.
There is a major exception, though - pipes and sockets. Those live
on the internal filesystems that are not going to be mounted anywhere.
They are not going to be _un_mounted, of course, so having to take the
slow path every time a pipe or socket gets closed is really obnoxious.
Solution had been to mark them as long-lived ones - essentially faking
"they are mounted somewhere" indicator.
With minor modification that works even for ones that do eventually get
dropped - all it takes is making sure we have an RCU delay between
clearing the "mounted somewhere" indicator and dropping the reference.
There are some additional twists (if you want to drop a dozen of such
internal mounts, you'd be better off with clearing the indicator on
all of them, doing an RCU delay once, then dropping the references),
but in the basic form it had been
* use kern_mount() if you want your internal mount to be
a long-term one.
* use kern_unmount() to undo that.
Unfortunately, the things did rot a bit during the mount API reshuffling.
In several cases we have lost the "fake the indicator" part; kern_unmount()
on the unmount side remained (it doesn't warn if you use it on a mount
without the indicator), but all benefits regaring mntput() cost had been
lost.
To get rid of that bitrot, let's add a new helper that would work
with fs_context-based API: fc_mount_longterm(). It's a counterpart
of fc_mount() that does, on success, mark its result as long-term.
It must be paired with kern_unmount() or equivalents.
Converted:
1) mqueue (it used to use kern_mount_data() and the umount side
is still as it used to be)
2) hugetlbfs (used to use kern_mount_data(), internal mount is
never unmounted in this one)
3) i915 gemfs (used to be kern_mount() + manual remount to set
options, still uses kern_unmount() on umount side)
4) v3d gemfs (copied from i915)

The call_mmap() function violates the existing convention in
include/linux/fs.h whereby invocations of virtual file system hooks is
performed by functions prefixed with vfs_xxx().
Correct this by renaming call_mmap() to vfs_mmap(). This also avoids
confusion as to the fact that f_op->mmap_prepare may be invoked here.
Also rename __call_mmap_prepare() function to vfs_mmap_prepare() and adjust
to accept a file parameter, this is useful later for nested file systems.
Finally, fix up the VMA userland tests and ensure the mmap_prepare -> mmap
shim is implemented there.

idr_for_each() is protected by rwsem, but this is not enough. If it is
not protected by RCU read-critical region, when idr_for_each() calls
radix_tree_node_free() through call_rcu() to free the radix_tree_node
structure, the node will be freed immediately, and when reading the next
node in radix_tree_for_each_slot(), the already freed memory may be read.
Therefore, we need to add code to make sure that idr_for_each() is
protected within the RCU read-critical region when we call it in
shm_destroy_orphaned().

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.

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.

The do_vma_munmap() wrapper existed for callers that didn't have a vma
iterator and needed to check the vma mseal status prior to calling the
underlying munmap(). All callers now use a vma iterator and since the
mseal check has been moved to do_vmi_align_munmap() and the vmas are
aligned, this function can just be called instead.
do_vmi_align_munmap() can no longer be static as ipc/shm is using it and
it is exported via the mm.h header.

For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
"The most prominent change this time is the kmem_buckets based
hardening of kmalloc() allocations from Kees Cook.
We have also extended the kmalloc() alignment guarantees for
non-power-of-two sizes in a way that benefits rust.
The rest are various cleanups and non-critical fixups.
- Dedicated bucket allocator (Kees Cook)
This series [1] enhances the probabilistic defense against heap
spraying/grooming of CONFIG_RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES from last year.
kmalloc() users that are known to be useful for exploits can get
completely separate set of kmalloc caches that can't be shared with
other users. The first converted users are alloc_msg() and
memdup_user().
The hardening is enabled by CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS.
- Extended kmalloc() alignment guarantees (Vlastimil Babka)
For years now we have guaranteed natural alignment for power-of-two
allocations, but nothing was defined for other sizes (in practice,
we have two such buckets, kmalloc-96 and kmalloc-192).
To avoid unnecessary padding in the rust layer due to its alignment
rules, extend the guarantee so that the alignment is at least the
largest power-of-two divisor of the requested size.
This fits what rust needs, is a superset of the existing
power-of-two guarantee, and does not in practice change the layout
(and thus does not add overhead due to padding) of the kmalloc-96
and kmalloc-192 caches, unless slab debugging is enabled for them.
- Cleanups and non-critical fixups (Chengming Zhou, Suren
Baghdasaryan, Matthew Willcox, Alex Shi, and Vlastimil Babka)
Various tweaks related to the new alloc profiling code, folio

The msg subsystem is a common target for exploiting[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
use-after-free type confusion flaws in the kernel for both read and write
primitives. Avoid having a user-controlled dynamically-size allocation
share the global kmalloc cache by using a separate set of kmalloc buckets
via the kmem_buckets API.

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Remove sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/*
Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size
and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for
net/, io_uring/, mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline
through their respective subsystems making the next release the most
likely place where the final series that removes the check for
proc_name == NULL will land.
This adds to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/.
- Adjust ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification
- Remove unused ctl_table function arguments
- Move non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header
- Make ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure
Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by
keeping the pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no
ctl_tables where made const in this PR, the ground work for making
that possible has started with these changes sent by Thomas
Weißschuh.
