      configfs: Allow ->make_item() and ->make_group() to return detailed errors. · 11c3b792
      Joel Becker 提交于
      The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently
      return a new item/group.  A return of NULL signifies an error.  Because
      of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack.
      
      Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes
      when these operations fail.  This patch adds that ability by changing the
      ->make_item/group() ops to return an int.
      
      Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs.

      configfs: Fix failing mkdir() making racing rmdir() fail · 6d8344ba
      Louis Rilling 提交于
      When fixing the rename() vs rmdir() deadlock, we stopped locking default groups'
      inodes in configfs_detach_prep(), letting racing mkdir() in default groups
      proceed concurrently. This enables races like below happen, which leads to a
      failing mkdir() making rmdir() fail, despite the group to remove having no
      user-created directory under it in the end.
      
      	process A: 			process B:
      	/* PWD=A/B */
      	mkdir("C")
      	  make_item("C")
      	  attach_group("C")
      					rmdir("A")
      					  detach_prep("A")
      					    detach_prep("B")
      					      error because of "C"
      					  return -ENOTEMPTY
      	    attach_group("C/D")
      	      error (eg -ENOMEM)
      	  return -ENOMEM
      
      This patch prevents such scenarii by making rmdir() wait as long as
      detach_prep() fails because a racing mkdir() is in the middle of attach_group().
      To achieve this, mkdir() sets a flag CONFIGFS_USET_IN_MKDIR in parent's
      configfs_dirent before calling attach_group(), and clears the flag once
      attach_group() is done. detach_prep() fails with -EAGAIN whenever the flag is
      hit and returns the guilty inode's mutex so that rmdir() can wait on it.

      configfs: Fix deadlock with racing rmdir() and rename() · b3e76af8
      Louis Rilling 提交于
      This patch fixes the deadlock between racing sys_rename() and configfs_rmdir().
      
      The idea is to avoid locking i_mutexes of default groups in
      configfs_detach_prep(), and rely instead on the new configfs_dirent_lock to
      protect against configfs_dirent's linkage mutations. To ensure that an mkdir()
      racing with rmdir() will not create new items in a to-be-removed default group,
      we make configfs_new_dirent() check for the CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING flag right
      before linking the new dirent, and return error if the flag is set. This makes
      racing mkdir()/symlink()/dir_open() fail in places where errors could already
      happen, resp. in (attach_item()|attach_group())/create_link()/new_dirent().
      
      configfs_depend() remains safe since it locks all the path from configfs root,
      and is thus mutually exclusive with rmdir().
      
      An advantage of this is that now detach_groups() unconditionnaly takes the
      default groups i_mutex, which makes it more consistent with populate_groups().

      configfs: Protect configfs_dirent s_links list mutations · 5301a77d
      Louis Rilling 提交于
      Symlinks to a config_item are listed under its configfs_dirent s_links, but the
      list mutations are not protected by any common lock.
      
      This patch uses the configfs_dirent_lock spinlock to add the necessary
      protection.
      
      Note: we should also protect the list_empty() test in configfs_detach_prep() but
      1/ the lock should not be released immediately because nothing would prevent the
      list from being filled after a successful list_empty() test, making the problem
      tricky,
      2/ this will be solved by the rmdir() vs rename() deadlock bugfix.

      configfs: Introduce configfs_dirent_lock · 6f610764
      Louis Rilling 提交于
      This patch introduces configfs_dirent_lock spinlock to protect configfs_dirent
      traversals against linkage mutations (add/del/move). This will allow
      configfs_detach_prep() to avoid locking i_mutexes.
      
      Locking rules for configfs_dirent linkage mutations are the same plus the
      requirement of taking configfs_dirent_lock. For configfs_dirent walking, one can
      either take appropriate i_mutex as before, or take configfs_dirent_lock.
      
      The spinlock could actually be a mutex, but the critical sections are either
      O(1) or should not be too long (default groups walking in last patch).
      
      ChangeLog:
        - Clarify the comment on configfs_dirent_lock usage
        - Move sd->s_element init before linking the new dirent
        - In lseek(), do not release configfs_dirent_lock before the dirent is
          relinked.

      r/o bind mounts: filesystem helpers for custom 'struct file's · ce8d2cdf
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      Why do we need r/o bind mounts?
      
      This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem.  In the
      process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of
      the number of writers to any given mount.
      
      This has a number of uses.  It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems
      writable.  It will be useful for containers in the future because users may
      have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to
      somefilesystems.  This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the
      tree for several years.
      
      It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem
      read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want
      to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively
      updated.  I've been using the following script to test that the feature is
      working as desired.  It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o
      bind mount of it.  It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the
      three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a
      file on the r/o mount.
      
      This patch:
      
      Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct
      file's.
      
      This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these
      filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code
      may patch.
      
      Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.

      configfs: config item dependancies. · 631d1feb
      Joel Becker 提交于
      Sometimes other drivers depend on particular configfs items.  For
      example, ocfs2 mounts depend on a heartbeat region item.  If that
      region item is removed with rmdir(2), the ocfs2 mount must BUG or go
      readonly.  Not happy.
      
      This provides two additional API calls: configfs_depend_item() and
      configfs_undepend_item().  A client driver can call
      configfs_depend_item() on an existing item to tell configfs that it is
      depended on.  configfs will then return -EBUSY from rmdir(2) for that
      item.  When the item is no longer depended on, the client driver calls
      configfs_undepend_item() on it.
      
      These API cannot be called underneath any configfs callbacks, as
      they will conflict.  They can block and allocate.  A client driver
      probably shouldn't calling them of its own gumption.  Rather it should
      be providing an API that external subsystems call.
      
      How does this work?  Imagine the ocfs2 mount process.  When it mounts,
      it asks for a heart region item.  This is done via a call into the
      heartbeat code.  Inside the heartbeat code, the region item is looked
      up.  Here, the heartbeat code calls configfs_depend_item().  If it
      succeeds, then heartbeat knows the region is safe to give to ocfs2.
      If it fails, it was being torn down anyway, and heartbeat can gracefully
      pass up an error.

      configfs: accessing item hierarchy during rmdir(2) · 299894cc
      Joel Becker 提交于
      Add a notification callback, ops->disconnect_notify(). It has the same
      prototype as ->drop_item(), but it will be called just before the item
      linkage is broken. This way, configfs users who want to do work while
      the object is still in the heirarchy have a chance.
      
      Client drivers will still need to config_item_put() in their
      ->drop_item(), if they implement it.  They need do nothing in
      ->disconnect_notify().  They don't have to provide it if they don't
      care.  But someone who wants to be notified before ci_parent is set to
      NULL can now be notified.
