      take the targets of /proc/*/ns/* symlinks to separate fs · e149ed2b
      Al Viro 提交于
      New pseudo-filesystem: nsfs.  Targets of /proc/*/ns/* live there now.
      It's not mountable (not even registered, so it's not in /proc/filesystems,
      etc.).  Files on it *are* bindable - we explicitly permit that in do_loopback().
      
      This stuff lives in fs/nsfs.c now; proc_ns_fget() moved there as well.
      get_proc_ns() is a macro now (it's simply returning ->i_private; would
      have been an inline, if not for header ordering headache).
      proc_ns_inode() is an ex-parrot.  The interface used in procfs is
      ns_get_path(path, task, ops) and ns_get_name(buf, size, task, ops).
      
      Dentries and inodes are never hashed; a non-counting reference to dentry
      is stashed in ns_common (removed by ->d_prune()) and reused by ns_get_path()
      if present.  See ns_get_path()/ns_prune_dentry/nsfs_evict() for details
      of that mechanism.
      
      As the result, proc_ns_follow_link() has stopped poking in nd->path.mnt;
      it does nd_jump_link() on a consistent <vfsmount,dentry> pair it gets
      from ns_get_path().

      overlay filesystem · e9be9d5e
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      Overlayfs allows one, usually read-write, directory tree to be
      overlaid onto another, read-only directory tree.  All modifications
      go to the upper, writable layer.
      
      This type of mechanism is most often used for live CDs but there's a
      wide variety of other uses.
      
      The implementation differs from other "union filesystem"
      implementations in that after a file is opened all operations go
      directly to the underlying, lower or upper, filesystems.  This
      simplifies the implementation and allows native performance in these
      cases.
      
      The dentry tree is duplicated from the underlying filesystems, this
      enables fast cached lookups without adding special support into the
      VFS.  This uses slightly more memory than union mounts, but dentries
      are relatively small.
      
      Currently inodes are duplicated as well, but it is a possible
      optimization to share inodes for non-directories.
      
      Opening non directories results in the open forwarded to the
      underlying filesystem.  This makes the behavior very similar to union
      mounts (with the same limitations vs. fchmod/fchown on O_RDONLY file
      descriptors).
      
      Usage:
      
        mount -t overlayfs overlayfs -olowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper/upper,workdir=/upper/work /overlay
      
      The following cotributions have been folded into this patch:
      
      Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>:
       - minimal remount support
       - use correct seek function for directories
       - initialise is_real before use
       - rename ovl_fill_cache to ovl_dir_read

      Robin Dong <hao.bigrat@gmail.com>
       - fix possible leak in ovl_new_inode
       - create new inode in ovl_link
      
      Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com>
       - switch to __inode_permission()
       - copy up i_uid/i_gid from the underlying inode
      
      AV:
       - ovl_copy_up_locked() - dput(ERR_PTR(...)) on two failure exits
       - ovl_clear_empty() - one failure exit forgetting to do unlock_rename(),
         lack of check for udir being the parent of upper, dropping and regaining
         the lock on udir (which would require _another_ check for parent being
         right).
       - bogus d_drop() in copyup and rename [fix from your mail]
       - copyup/remove and copyup/rename races [fix from your mail]
       - ovl_dir_fsync() leaving ERR_PTR() in ->realfile
       - ovl_entry_free() is pointless - it's just a kfree_rcu()
       - fold ovl_do_lookup() into ovl_lookup()
       - manually assigning ->d_op is wrong.  Just use ->s_d_op.
       [patches picked from Miklos]:
       * copyup/remove and copyup/rename races
       * bogus d_drop() in copyup and rename

      take fs_pin stuff to fs/* · efb170c2
      Al Viro 提交于
      Add a new field to fs_pin - kill(pin).  That's what umount and r/o remount
      will be calling for all pins attached to vfsmount and superblock resp.
      Called after bumping the refcount, so it won't go away under us.  Dropping
      the refcount is responsibility of the instance.  All generic stuff moved to
      fs/fs_pin.c; the next step will rip all the knowledge of kernel/acct.c from
      fs/super.c and fs/namespace.c.  After that - death to mnt_pin(); it was
      intended to be usable as generic mechanism for code that wants to attach
      objects to vfsmount, so that they would not make the sucker busy and
      would get killed on umount.  Never got it right; it remained acct.c-specific
      all along.  Now it's very close to being killable.

      efivarfs: Move to fs/efivarfs · d68772b7
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      Now that efivarfs uses the efivar API, move it out of efivars.c and
      into fs/efivarfs where it belongs. This move will eventually allow us
      to enable the efivarfs code without having to also enable
      CONFIG_EFI_VARS built, and vice versa.
      
      Furthermore, things like,
      
          mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
      
      will now work if efivarfs is built as a module without requiring the
      use of MODULE_ALIAS(), which would have been necessary when the
      efivarfs code was part of efivars.c.

      CacheFiles: A cache that backs onto a mounted filesystem · 9ae326a6
      David Howells 提交于
      Add an FS-Cache cache-backend that permits a mounted filesystem to be used as a
      backing store for the cache.
      
      CacheFiles uses a userspace daemon to do some of the cache management - such as
      reaping stale nodes and culling.  This is called cachefilesd and lives in
      /sbin.  The source for the daemon can be downloaded from:
      
      	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/cachefs/cachefilesd.c
      
      And an example configuration from:
      
      	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/cachefs/cachefilesd.conf
      
      The filesystem and data integrity of the cache are only as good as those of the
      filesystem providing the backing services.  Note that CacheFiles does not
      attempt to journal anything since the journalling interfaces of the various
      filesystems are very specific in nature.
      
      CacheFiles creates a misc character device - "/dev/cachefiles" - that is used
      to communication with the daemon.  Only one thing may have this open at once,
      and whilst it is open, a cache is at least partially in existence.  The daemon
      opens this and sends commands down it to control the cache.
      
      CacheFiles is currently limited to a single cache.
      
      CacheFiles attempts to maintain at least a certain percentage of free space on
      the filesystem, shrinking the cache by culling the objects it contains to make
      space if necessary - see the "Cache Culling" section.  This means it can be
      placed on the same medium as a live set of data, and will expand to make use of
      spare space and automatically contract when the set of data requires more
      space.
      
      ============
      REQUIREMENTS
      ============
      
      The use of CacheFiles and its daemon requires the following features to be
      available in the system and in the cache filesystem:
      
      	- dnotify.
      
      	- extended attributes (xattrs).
      
      	- openat() and friends.
      
      	- bmap() support on files in the filesystem (FIBMAP ioctl).
      
      	- The use of bmap() to detect a partial page at the end of the file.
      
      It is strongly recommended that the "dir_index" option is enabled on Ext3
      filesystems being used as a cache.
      
      =============
      CONFIGURATION
      =============
      
      The cache is configured by a script in /etc/cachefilesd.conf.  These commands
      set up cache ready for use.  The following script commands are available:
      
       (*) brun <N>%
       (*) bcull <N>%
       (*) bstop <N>%
       (*) frun <N>%
       (*) fcull <N>%
       (*) fstop <N>%
      
      	Configure the culling limits.  Optional.  See the section on culling
      	The defaults are 7% (run), 5% (cull) and 1% (stop) respectively.
      
      	The commands beginning with a 'b' are file space (block) limits, those
      	beginning with an 'f' are file count limits.
      
       (*) dir <path>
      
      	Specify the directory containing the root of the cache.  Mandatory.
      
       (*) tag <name>
      
      	Specify a tag to FS-Cache to use in distinguishing multiple caches.
      	Optional.  The default is "CacheFiles".
      
       (*) debug <mask>
      
      	Specify a numeric bitmask to control debugging in the kernel module.
      	Optional.  The default is zero (all off).  The following values can be
      	OR'd into the mask to collect various information:
      
      		1	Turn on trace of function entry (_enter() macros)
      		2	Turn on trace of function exit (_leave() macros)
      		4	Turn on trace of internal debug points (_debug())
      
      	This mask can also be set through sysfs, eg:
      
      		echo 5 >/sys/modules/cachefiles/parameters/debug
      
      ==================
      STARTING THE CACHE
      ==================
      
      The cache is started by running the daemon.  The daemon opens the cache device,
      configures the cache and tells it to begin caching.  At that point the cache
      binds to fscache and the cache becomes live.
      
      The daemon is run as follows:
      
      	/sbin/cachefilesd [-d]* [-s] [-n] [-f <configfile>]
      
      The flags are:
      
       (*) -d
      
      	Increase the debugging level.  This can be specified multiple times and
      	is cumulative with itself.
      
       (*) -s
      
      	Send messages to stderr instead of syslog.
      
       (*) -n
      
      	Don't daemonise and go into background.
      
       (*) -f <configfile>
      
      	Use an alternative configuration file rather than the default one.
      
      ===============
      THINGS TO AVOID
      ===============
      
      Do not mount other things within the cache as this will cause problems.  The
      kernel module contains its own very cut-down path walking facility that ignores
      mountpoints, but the daemon can't avoid them.
      
      Do not create, rename or unlink files and directories in the cache whilst the
      cache is active, as this may cause the state to become uncertain.
      
      Renaming files in the cache might make objects appear to be other objects (the
      filename is part of the lookup key).
      
      Do not change or remove the extended attributes attached to cache files by the
      cache as this will cause the cache state management to get confused.
      
      Do not create files or directories in the cache, lest the cache get confused or
      serve incorrect data.
      
      Do not chmod files in the cache.  The module creates things with minimal
      permissions to prevent random users being able to access them directly.
      
      =============
      CACHE CULLING
      =============
      
      The cache may need culling occasionally to make space.  This involves
      discarding objects from the cache that have been used less recently than
      anything else.  Culling is based on the access time of data objects.  Empty
      directories are culled if not in use.
      
      Cache culling is done on the basis of the percentage of blocks and the
      percentage of files available in the underlying filesystem.  There are six
      "limits":
      
       (*) brun
       (*) frun
      
           If the amount of free space and the number of available files in the cache
           rises above both these limits, then culling is turned off.
      
       (*) bcull
       (*) fcull
      
           If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the
           cache falls below either of these limits, then culling is started.
      
       (*) bstop
       (*) fstop
      
           If the amount of available space or the number of available files in the
           cache falls below either of these limits, then no further allocation of
           disk space or files is permitted until culling has raised things above
           these limits again.
      
      These must be configured thusly:
      
      	0 <= bstop < bcull < brun < 100
      	0 <= fstop < fcull < frun < 100
      
      Note that these are percentages of available space and available files, and do
      _not_ appear as 100 minus the percentage displayed by the "df" program.
      
      The userspace daemon scans the cache to build up a table of cullable objects.
      These are then culled in least recently used order.  A new scan of the cache is
      started as soon as space is made in the table.  Objects will be skipped if
      their atimes have changed or if the kernel module says it is still using them.
      
      ===============
      CACHE STRUCTURE
      ===============
      
      The CacheFiles module will create two directories in the directory it was
      given:
      
       (*) cache/
      
       (*) graveyard/
      
      The active cache objects all reside in the first directory.  The CacheFiles
      kernel module moves any retired or culled objects that it can't simply unlink
      to the graveyard from which the daemon will actually delete them.
      
      The daemon uses dnotify to monitor the graveyard directory, and will delete
      anything that appears therein.
      
      The module represents index objects as directories with the filename "I..." or
      "J...".  Note that the "cache/" directory is itself a special index.
      
      Data objects are represented as files if they have no children, or directories
      if they do.  Their filenames all begin "D..." or "E...".  If represented as a
      directory, data objects will have a file in the directory called "data" that
      actually holds the data.
      
      Special objects are similar to data objects, except their filenames begin
      "S..." or "T...".
      
      If an object has children, then it will be represented as a directory.
      Immediately in the representative directory are a collection of directories
      named for hash values of the child object keys with an '@' prepended.  Into
      this directory, if possible, will be placed the representations of the child
      objects:
      
      	INDEX     INDEX      INDEX                             DATA FILES
      	========= ========== ================================= ================
      	cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400
      	cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...DB1ry
      	cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...N22ry
      	cache/@4a/I03nfs/@30/Ji000000000000000--fHg8hi8400/@75/Es0g000w...FP1ry
      
      If the key is so long that it exceeds NAME_MAX with the decorations added on to
      it, then it will be cut into pieces, the first few of which will be used to
      make a nest of directories, and the last one of which will be the objects
      inside the last directory.  The names of the intermediate directories will have
      '+' prepended:
      
      	J1223/@23/+xy...z/+kl...m/Epqr
      
      Note that keys are raw data, and not only may they exceed NAME_MAX in size,
      they may also contain things like '/' and NUL characters, and so they may not
      be suitable for turning directly into a filename.
      
      To handle this, CacheFiles will use a suitably printable filename directly and
      "base-64" encode ones that aren't directly suitable.  The two versions of
      object filenames indicate the encoding:
      
      	OBJECT TYPE	PRINTABLE	ENCODED
      	===============	===============	===============
      	Index		"I..."		"J..."
      	Data		"D..."		"E..."
      	Special		"S..."		"T..."
      
      Intermediate directories are always "@" or "+" as appropriate.
      
      Each object in the cache has an extended attribute label that holds the object
      type ID (required to distinguish special objects) and the auxiliary data from
      the netfs.  The latter is used to detect stale objects in the cache and update
      or retire them.
      
      Note that CacheFiles will erase from the cache any file it doesn't recognise or
      any file of an incorrect type (such as a FIFO file or a device file).
      
      ==========================
      SECURITY MODEL AND SELINUX
      ==========================
      
      CacheFiles is implemented to deal properly with the LSM security features of
      the Linux kernel and the SELinux facility.
      
      One of the problems that CacheFiles faces is that it is generally acting on
      behalf of a process, and running in that process's context, and that includes a
      security context that is not appropriate for accessing the cache - either
      because the files in the cache are inaccessible to that process, or because if
      the process creates a file in the cache, that file may be inaccessible to other
      processes.
      
      The way CacheFiles works is to temporarily change the security context (fsuid,
      fsgid and actor security label) that the process acts as - without changing the
      security context of the process when it the target of an operation performed by
      some other process (so signalling and suchlike still work correctly).
      
      When the CacheFiles module is asked to bind to its cache, it:
      
       (1) Finds the security label attached to the root cache directory and uses
           that as the security label with which it will create files.  By default,
           this is:
      
      	cachefiles_var_t
      
       (2) Finds the security label of the process which issued the bind request
           (presumed to be the cachefilesd daemon), which by default will be:
      
      	cachefilesd_t
      
           and asks LSM to supply a security ID as which it should act given the
           daemon's label.  By default, this will be:
      
      	cachefiles_kernel_t
      
           SELinux transitions the daemon's security ID to the module's security ID
           based on a rule of this form in the policy.
      
      	type_transition <daemon's-ID> kernel_t : process <module's-ID>;
      
           For instance:
      
      	type_transition cachefilesd_t kernel_t : process cachefiles_kernel_t;
      
      The module's security ID gives it permission to create, move and remove files
      and directories in the cache, to find and access directories and files in the
      cache, to set and access extended attributes on cache objects, and to read and
      write files in the cache.
      
      The daemon's security ID gives it only a very restricted set of permissions: it
      may scan directories, stat files and erase files and directories.  It may
      not read or write files in the cache, and so it is precluded from accessing the
      data cached therein; nor is it permitted to create new files in the cache.
      
      There are policy source files available in:
      
      	http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/cachefilesd-0.8.tar.bz2
      
      and later versions.  In that tarball, see the files:
      
      	cachefilesd.te
      	cachefilesd.fc
      	cachefilesd.if
      
      They are built and installed directly by the RPM.
      
      If a non-RPM based system is being used, then copy the above files to their own
      directory and run:
      
      	make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile
      	semodule -i cachefilesd.pp
      
      You will need checkpolicy and selinux-policy-devel installed prior to the
      build.
      
      By default, the cache is located in /var/fscache, but if it is desirable that
      it should be elsewhere, than either the above policy files must be altered, or
      an auxiliary policy must be installed to label the alternate location of the
      cache.
      
      For instructions on how to add an auxiliary policy to enable the cache to be
      located elsewhere when SELinux is in enforcing mode, please see:
      
      	/usr/share/doc/cachefilesd-*/move-cache.txt
      
      When the cachefilesd rpm is installed; alternatively, the document can be found
      in the sources.
      
      ==================
      A NOTE ON SECURITY
      ==================
      
      CacheFiles makes use of the split security in the task_struct.  It allocates
      its own task_security structure, and redirects current->act_as to point to it
      when it acts on behalf of another process, in that process's context.
      
      The reason it does this is that it calls vfs_mkdir() and suchlike rather than
      bypassing security and calling inode ops directly.  Therefore the VFS and LSM
      may deny the CacheFiles access to the cache data because under some
      circumstances the caching code is running in the security context of whatever
      process issued the original syscall on the netfs.
      
      Furthermore, should CacheFiles create a file or directory, the security
      parameters with that object is created (UID, GID, security label) would be
      derived from that process that issued the system call, thus potentially
      preventing other processes from accessing the cache - including CacheFiles's
      cache management daemon (cachefilesd).
      
      What is required is to temporarily override the security of the process that
      issued the system call.  We can't, however, just do an in-place change of the
      security data as that affects the process as an object, not just as a subject.
      This means it may lose signals or ptrace events for example, and affects what
      the process looks like in /proc.
      
      So CacheFiles makes use of a logical split in the security between the
      objective security (task->sec) and the subjective security (task->act_as).  The
      objective security holds the intrinsic security properties of a process and is
      never overridden.  This is what appears in /proc, and is what is used when a
      process is the target of an operation by some other process (SIGKILL for
      example).
      
      The subjective security holds the active security properties of a process, and
      may be overridden.  This is not seen externally, and is used whan a process
      acts upon another object, for example SIGKILLing another process or opening a
      file.
      
      LSM hooks exist that allow SELinux (or Smack or whatever) to reject a request
      for CacheFiles to run in a context of a specific security label, or to create
      files and directories with another security label.

      FS-Cache: Add main configuration option, module entry points and debugging · 06b3db1b
      David Howells 提交于
      Add the main configuration option, allowing FS-Cache to be selected; the
      module entry and exit functions and the debugging stuff used by these patches.
      
      The two configuration options added are:
      
      	CONFIG_FSCACHE
      	CONFIG_FSCACHE_DEBUG
      
      The first enables the facility, and the second makes the debugging statements
      enableable through the "debug" module parameter.  The value of this parameter
      is a bitmask as described in:
      
      	Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt
      
      The module can be loaded at this point, but all it will do at this point in
      the patch series is to start up the slow work facility and shut it down again.

      ext4: Reorder fs/Makefile so that ext2 root fs's are mounted using ext2 · d8ae4601
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      In fs/Makefile, ext3 was placed before ext2 so that a root filesystem
      that possessed a journal, it would be mounted as ext3 instead of ext2.
      This was necessary because a cleanly unmounted ext3 filesystem was
      fully backwards compatible with ext2, and could be mounted by ext2 ---
      but it was desirable that it be mounted with ext3 so that the
      journaling would be enabled.
      
      The ext4 filesystem supports new incompatible features, so there is no
      danger of an ext4 filesystem being mistaken for an ext2 filesystem.
      At that point, the relative ordering of ext4 with respect to ext2
      didn't matter until ext4 gained the ability to mount filesystems
      without a journal starting in 2.6.29-rc1.  Now that this is the case,
      given that ext4 is before ext2, it means that root filesystems that
      were using the plain-jane ext2 format are getting mounted using the
      ext4 filesystem driver, which is a change in behavior which could be
      surprising to users.
      
      It's doubtful that there are that many ext2-only root filesystem users
      that would also have ext4 compiled into the kernel, but to adhere to
      the principle of least surprise, the correct ordering in fs/Makefile
      is ext3, followed by ext2, and finally ext4.

      quota: Split off quota tree handling into a separate file · 1ccd14b9
      Jan Kara 提交于
      There is going to be a new version of quota format having 64-bit
      quota limits and a new quota format for OCFS2. They are both
      going to use the same tree structure as VFSv0 quota format. So
      split out tree handling into a separate file and make size of
      leaf blocks, amount of space usable in each block (needed for
      checksumming) and structures contained in them configurable
      so that the code can be shared.
