Commit 08abce60d6 ("security: Introduce path_post_mknod hook")
introduced security_path_post_mknod(), to replace the IMA-specific call
to ima_post_path_mknod().
For symmetry with security_path_mknod(), security_path_post_mknod() was
called after a successful mknod operation, for any file type, rather
than only for regular files at the time there was the IMA call.
However, as reported by VFS maintainers, successful mknod operation does
not mean that the dentry always has an inode attached to it (for
example, not for FIFOs on a SAMBA mount).
If that condition happens, the kernel crashes when
security_path_post_mknod() attempts to verify if the inode associated to
the dentry is private.
Move security_path_post_mknod() where the ima_post_path_mknod() call was,
which is obviously correct from IMA/EVM perspective. IMA/EVM are the only
in-kernel users, and only need to inspect regular files.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Promote IMA/EVM to a proper LSM
This is the bulk of the diffstat, and the source of all the changes
in the VFS code. Prior to the start of the LSM stacking work it was
important that IMA/EVM were separate from the rest of the LSMs,
complete with their own hooks, infrastructure, etc. as it was the
only way to enable IMA/EVM at the same time as a LSM.
However, now that the bulk of the LSM infrastructure supports
multiple simultaneous LSMs, we can simplify things greatly by
bringing IMA/EVM into the LSM infrastructure as proper LSMs. This is
something I've wanted to see happen for quite some time and Roberto
was kind enough to put in the work to make it happen.
- Use the LSM hook default values to simplify the call_int_hook() macro
Previously the call_int_hook() macro required callers to supply a
default return value, despite a default value being specified when
the LSM hook was defined.
This simplifies the macro by using the defined default return value
which makes life easier for callers and should also reduce the number
of return value bugs in the future (we've had a few pop up recently,
hence this work).
- Use the KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of kmem_cache_create()
The guidance appears to be to use the KMEM_CACHE() macro when
possible and there is no reason why we can't use the macro, so let's
use it.
- Fix a number of comment typos in the LSM hook comment blocks
Not much to say here, we fixed some questionable grammar decisions in
the LSM hook comment blocks.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Misc features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual filesystems.
Features:
- Support idmapped mounts for hugetlbfs.
- Add RWF_NOAPPEND flag for pwritev2(). This allows us to fix a bug
where the passed offset is ignored if the file is O_APPEND. The new
flag allows a caller to enforce that the offset is honored to
conform to posix even if the file was opened in append mode.
- Move i_mmap_rwsem in struct address_space to avoid false sharing
between i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem.
- Convert efs, qnx4, and coda to use the new mount api.
- Add a generic is_dot_dotdot() helper that's used by various
filesystems and the VFS code instead of open-coding it multiple
times.
- Recently we've added stable offsets which allows stable ordering
when iterating directories exported through NFS on e.g., tmpfs
filesystems. Originally an xarray was used for the offset map but
that caused slab fragmentation issues over time. This switches the
offset map to the maple tree which has a dense mode that handles
this scenario a lot better. Includes tests.
- Finally merge the case-insensitive improvement series Gabriel has
been working on for a long time. This cleanly propagates case
insensitive operations through ->s_d_op which in turn allows us to
remove the quite ugly generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops() operations.
It also improves performance by trying a case-sensitive comparison
first and then fallback to case-insensitive lookup if that fails.
This also fixes a bug where overlayfs would be able to be mounted
over a case insensitive directory which would lead to all sort of
odd behaviors.
Cleanups:
- Make file_dentry() a simple accessor now that ->d_real() is
simplified because of the backing file work we did the last two
cycles.
- Use the dedicated file_mnt_idmap helper in ntfs3.
- Use smp_load_acquire/store_release() in the i_size_read/write
helpers and thus remove the hack to handle i_size reads in the
filemap code.
- The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is a nop now. Remove it from various places in
fs/
- It's no longer necessary to perform a second built-in initramfs
unpack call because we retain the contents of the previous
extraction. Remove it.
- Now that we have removed various allocators kfree_rcu() always
works with kmem caches and kmalloc(). So simplify various places
that only use an rcu callback in order to handle the kmem cache
case.
- Convert the pipe code to use a lockdep comparison function instead
of open-coding the nesting making lockdep validation easier.
- Move code into fs-writeback.c that was located in a header but can
be made static as it's only used in that one file.
- Rewrite the alignment checking iterators for iovec and bvec to be
easier to read, and also significantly more compact in terms of
generated code. This saves 270 bytes of text on x86-64 (with
clang-18) and 224 bytes on arm64 (with gcc-13). In profiles it also
saves a bit of time for the same workload.
- Switch various places to use KMEM_CACHE instead of
kmem_cache_create().
- Use inode_set_ctime_to_ts() in inode_set_ctime_current()
- Use kzalloc() in name_to_handle_at() to avoid kernel infoleak.
- Various smaller cleanups for eventfds.
Fixes:
- Fix various comments and typos, and unneeded initializations.
- Fix stack allocation hack for clang in the select code.
- Improve dump_mapping() debug code on a best-effort basis.
- Fix build errors in various selftests.
- Avoid wrap-around instrumentation in various places.
- Don't allow user namespaces without an idmapping to be used for
idmapped mounts.
- Fix sysv sb_read() call.
- Fix fallback implementation of the get_name() export operation"

...
If lazy call of ->permission() returns a hard error, check that
try_to_unlazy() succeeds before returning it. That both makes
life easier for ->permission() instances and closes the race
in ENOTDIR handling - it is possible that positive d_can_lookup()
seen in link_path_walk() applies to the state *after* unlink() +
mkdir(), while nd->inode matches the state prior to that.
Normally seeing e.g. EACCES from permission check in rcu pathwalk
means that with some timings non-rcu pathwalk would've run into
the same; however, running into a non-executable regular file
in the middle of a pathname would not get to permission check -
it would fail with ENOTDIR instead.

Move hardcoded IMA function calls (not appraisal-specific functions) from
various places in the kernel to the LSM infrastructure, by introducing a
new LSM named 'ima' (at the end of the LSM list and always enabled like
'integrity').
Having IMA before EVM in the Makefile is sufficient to preserve the
relative order of the new 'ima' LSM in respect to the upcoming 'evm' LSM,
and thus the order of IMA and EVM function calls as when they were
hardcoded.
Make moved functions as static (except ima_post_key_create_or_update(),
which is not in ima_main.c), and register them as implementation of the
respective hooks in the new function init_ima_lsm().
Select CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH, to ensure that the path-based LSM hook
path_post_mknod is always available and ima_post_path_mknod() is always
executed to mark files as new, as before the move.
A slight difference is that IMA and EVM functions registered for the
inode_post_setattr, inode_post_removexattr, path_post_mknod,
inode_post_create_tmpfile, inode_post_set_acl and inode_post_remove_acl
won't be executed for private inodes. Since those inodes are supposed to be
fs-internal, they should not be of interest to IMA or EVM. The S_PRIVATE
flag is used for anonymous inodes, hugetlbfs, reiserfs xattrs, XFS scrub
and kernel-internal tmpfs files.
Conditionally register ima_post_key_create_or_update() if
CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS is enabled. Also, conditionally register
ima_kernel_module_request() if CONFIG_INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS is enabled.
Finally, add the LSM_ID_IMA case in lsm_list_modules_test.c.

work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/ directory only.
The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as those patches
are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect also the removal of the
no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
Let us recap the purpose of this work:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls
out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to see further
work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the struct ctl_table.
Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have suggested
for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for v6.9-rc1 I look forward
to seeing him sent you a pull request for further sysctl changes. This also
removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer as he has moved on to other projects and
has had no time to help at all.

A file that has never gotten FMODE_OPENED will never have RCU-accessed
references, its final fput() is equivalent to file_free() and if it
doesn't have FMODE_BACKING either, it can be done from any context and
won't need task_work treatment.
Now that we have SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU we can simplify this and have
other callers benefit. All of that can be achieved easier is to make
fput() recoginze that case and call file_free() directly.
No need to introduce a special primitive for that. It also allowed
things like failing dentry_open() could benefit from that as well.

Holding ->s_vfs_rename_mutex *almost* prevents ->d_parent changes; the
case where we really don't want it is splicing the root of disconnected
tree to somewhere.
In other words, ->s_vfs_rename_mutex is sufficient to stabilize "X is an
ancestor of Y" only if X and Y are already in the same tree. Otherwise
it can go from false to true, and one can construct a deadlock on that.
Make lock_two_directories() report an error in such case and update the
callers of lock_rename()/lock_rename_child() to handle such errors.

We should never lock two subdirectories without having taken
->s_vfs_rename_mutex; inode pointer order or not, the "order" proposed
in 28eceeda13 "fs: Lock moved directories" is not transitive, with
the usual consequences.
The rationale for locking renamed subdirectory in all cases was
the possibility of race between rename modifying .. in a subdirectory to
reflect the new parent and another thread modifying the same subdirectory.
For a lot of filesystems that's not a problem, but for some it can lead
to trouble (e.g. the case when short directory contents is kept in the
inode, but creating a file in it might push it across the size limit
and copy its contents into separate data block(s)).
However, we need that only in case when the parent does change -
otherwise ->rename() doesn't need to do anything with .. entry in the
first place. Some instances are lazy and do a tautological update anyway,
but it's really not hard to avoid.
Amended locking rules for rename():
find the parent(s) of source and target
if source and target have the same parent
lock the common parent
else
lock ->s_vfs_rename_mutex
lock both parents, in ancestor-first order; if neither
is an ancestor of another, lock the parent of source
first.
find the source and target.
if source and target have the same parent
if operation is an overwriting rename of a subdirectory
lock the target subdirectory
else
if source is a subdirectory
lock the source
if target is a subdirectory
lock the target
lock non-directories involved, in inode pointer order if both
source and target are such.
That way we are guaranteed that parents are locked (for obvious reasons),
that any renamed non-directory is locked (nfsd relies upon that),
that any victim is locked (emptiness check needs that, among other things)
and subdirectory that changes parent is locked (needed to protect the update
of .. entries). We are also guaranteed that any operation locking more
than one directory either takes ->s_vfs_rename_mutex or locks a parent
followed by its child.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They
are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount.
- Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This
helps in scenarios where we would usually only print
"unknown-block(1,2)".
- Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the
endless POSIX ACL saga in a way.
When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip
the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might
take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX
ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end
up with:
(1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs
(2) SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in filesystem
The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems
that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL
purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and
Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server
and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the
upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer.
This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that
don't even have POSIX ACL support at all.
Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal
superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask
handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's
not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all
umask handling always in the vfs.
- Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too.
- Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in
IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a
very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider
cleanup that was done.
- Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly
from Amir:
When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files
and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a
"fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is
the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem.
In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the
backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change
allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an
overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make
fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem
objects that were accessed via overlayfs.
This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to
new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent
example is commit db1d1e8b98 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get
the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in
IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to
reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring.
This contains work to switch things around: instead of having
filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code
opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed.
Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use
the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing
crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path
exposed by default.
This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did
not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to
catch if we have made any wrong assumptions.
After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a
plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real().
- Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small
change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on
their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work.
Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for
files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions
between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So
extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There
are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly
and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under
rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always
dodgy.
I forgot to put in the link tag for this change and the discussion
in the commit so adding it into the merge message:

that was only used to protect against writes without pipe_lock()
from O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE aka watch queues. As that was never
implemented remove the additional locking from pipe_write().
- Annotate struct watch_filter with the new __counted_by attribute.
- Clarify do_unlinkat() cleanup so that it doesn't look like an extra
iput() is done that would cause issues.
- Simplify file cleanup when the file has never been opened.
- Use module helper instead of open-coding it.
- Predict error unlikely for stale retry.
- Use WRITE_ONCE() for mount expiry field instead of just commenting
that one hopes the compiler doesn't get smart.
Fixes:
- Fix readahead on block devices.
- Fix writeback when layztime is enabled and inodes whose timestamp
is the only thing that changed reside on wb->b_dirty_time. This
caused excessively large zombie memory cgroup when lazytime was
enabled as such inodes weren't handled fast enough.
- Convert BUG_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE() in open_last_lookups()"

Because 'inode' is being initialised before checking if 'dentry' is negative
it looks like an extra iput() on 'inode' may happen since the ihold() is
done only if the dentry is *not* negative. In reality this doesn't happen
because d_is_negative() is never true if ->d_inode is NULL. This patch only
makes the code easier to understand, as I was initially mislead by it.

SB_POSIXACL must be set when a filesystem supports POSIX ACLs, but NFSv4
also sets this flag to prevent the VFS from applying the umask on
newly-created files. NFSv4 doesn't support POSIX ACLs however, which
causes confusion when other subsystems try to test for them.
Add a new SB_I_NOUMASK flag that allows filesystems to opt-in to umask
stripping without advertising support for POSIX ACLs. Set the new flag
on NFSv4 instead of SB_POSIXACL.
Also, move mode_strip_umask to namei.h and convert init_mknod and
init_mkdir to use it.

An io_uring openat operation can update an audit reference count
from multiple threads resulting in the call trace below.
A call to io_uring_submit() with a single openat op with a flag of
IOSQE_ASYNC results in the following reference count updates.
These first part of the system call performs two increments that do not race.
do_syscall_64()
__do_sys_io_uring_enter()
io_submit_sqes()
io_openat_prep()
__io_openat_prep()
getname()
getname_flags() /* update 1 (increment) */
__audit_getname() /* update 2 (increment) */
The openat op is queued to an io_uring worker thread which starts the
opportunity for a race. The system call exit performs one decrement.
do_syscall_64()
syscall_exit_to_user_mode()
syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare()
__audit_syscall_exit()
audit_reset_context()
putname() /* update 3 (decrement) */
The io_uring worker thread performs one increment and two decrements.
These updates can race with the system call decrement.

The @source inode must be valid. It is even checked via IS_SWAPFILE()
above making it pretty clear. So no need to check it when we unlock.
What doesn't need to exist is the @target inode. The lock_two_inodes()
helper currently swaps the @inode1 and @inode2 arguments if @inode1 is
NULL to have consistent lock class usage. However, we know that at least
for vfs_rename() that @inode1 is @source and thus is never NULL as per
above. We also know that @source is a different inode than @target as
that is checked right at the beginning of vfs_rename(). So we know that
@source is valid and locked and that @target is locked. So drop the
check whether @source is non-NULL.

Pull vfs file handling updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains Amir's work to fix a long-standing problem where an
unprivileged overlayfs mount can be used to avoid fanotify permission
events that were requested for an inode or superblock on the
underlying filesystem.
Some background about files opened in overlayfs. If a file is opened
in overlayfs @file->f_path will refer to a "fake" path. What this
means is that while @file->f_inode will refer to inode of the
underlying layer, @file->f_path refers to an overlayfs
{dentry,vfsmount} pair. The reasons for doing this are out of scope
here but it is the reason why the vfs has been providing the
open_with_fake_path() helper for overlayfs for very long time now. So
nothing new here.
This is for sure not very elegant and everyone including the overlayfs
maintainers agree. Improving this significantly would involve more
fragile and potentially rather invasive changes.
In various codepaths access to the path of the underlying filesystem
is needed for such hybrid file. The best example is fsnotify where
this becomes security relevant. Passing the overlayfs
@file->f_path->dentry will cause fsnotify to skip generating fsnotify
events registered on the underlying inode or superblock.
To fix this we extend the vfs provided open_with_fake_path() concept
for overlayfs to create a backing file container that holds the real
path and to expose a helper that can be used by relevant callers to
get access to the path of the underlying filesystem through the new
file_real_path() helper. This pattern is similar to what we do in
d_real() and d_real_inode().
The first beneficiary is fsnotify and fixes the security sensitive
problem mentioned above.
There's a couple of nice cleanups included as well.
Over time, the old open_with_fake_path() helper added specifically for
overlayfs a long time ago started to get used in other places such as
cachefiles. Even though cachefiles have nothing to do with hybrid
files.
The only reason cachefiles used that concept was that files opened
with open_with_fake_path() aren't charged against the caller's open
file limit by raising FMODE_NOACCOUNT. It's just mere coincidence that
both overlayfs and cachefiles need to ensure to not overcharge the
caller for their internal open calls.
So this work disentangles FMODE_NOACCOUNT use cases and backing file
use-cases by adding the FMODE_BACKING flag which indicates that the
file can be used to retrieve the backing file of another filesystem.
(Fyi, Jens will be sending you a really nice cleanup from Christoph
that gets rid of 3 FMODE_* flags otherwise this would be the last
fmode_t bit we'd be using.)
So now overlayfs becomes the sole user of the renamed
open_with_fake_path() helper which is now named backing_file_open().
For internal kernel users such as cachefiles that are only interested
in FMODE_NOACCOUNT but not in FMODE_BACKING we add a new
kernel_file_open() helper which opens a file without being charged
against the caller's open file limit. All new helpers are properly
documented and clearly annotated to mention their special uses.
We also rename vfs_tmpfile_open() to kernel_tmpfile_open() to clearly
distinguish it from vfs_tmpfile() and align it the other kernel_*()
internal helpers"
* tag 'v6.5/vfs.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
ovl: enable fsnotify events on underlying real files
fs: use backing_file container for internal files with "fake" f_path
fs: move kmem_cache_zalloc() into alloc_empty_file*() helpers
fs: use a helper for opening kernel internal files
fs: rename {vfs,kernel}_tmpfile_open()
Overlayfs and cachefiles use vfs_open_tmpfile() to open a tmpfile
without accounting for nr_files.
Rename this helper to kernel_tmpfile_open() to better reflect this
helper is used for kernel internal users.

When a directory is moved to a different directory, some filesystems
(udf, ext4, ocfs2, f2fs, and likely gfs2, reiserfs, and others) need to
update their pointer to the parent and this must not race with other
operations on the directory. Lock the directories when they are moved.
Although not all filesystems need this locking, we perform it in
vfs_rename() because getting the lock ordering right is really difficult
and we don't want to expose these locking details to filesystems.

Currently the locking order of inode locks for directories that are not
in ancestor relationship is not defined because all operations that
needed to lock two directories like this were serialized by
sb->s_vfs_rename_mutex. However some filesystems need to lock two
subdirectories for RENAME_EXCHANGE operations and for this we need the
locking order established even for two tree-unrelated directories.
Provide a helper function lock_two_inodes() that establishes lock
ordering for any two inodes and use it in lock_two_directories().

Two significant security enhancements are part of this release:
* NFSD's RPC header encoding and decoding, including RPCSEC GSS
and gssproxy header parsing, has been overhauled to make it
more memory-safe.
* Support for Kerberos AES-SHA2-based encryption types has been
added for both the NFS client and server. This provides a clean
path for deprecating and removing insecure encryption types
based on DES and SHA-1. AES-SHA2 is also FIPS-140 compliant, so
that NFS with Kerberos may now be used on systems with fips
enabled.
In addition to these, NFSD is now able to handle crossing into an
auto-mounted mount point on an exported NFS mount. A number of
fixes have been made to NFSD's server-side copy implementation.
RPC metrics have been converted to per-CPU variables. This helps
reduce unnecessary cross-CPU and cross-node memory bus traffic,
and significantly reduces noise when KCSAN is enabled.

Merge tag 'fs.idmapped.v6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping
Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:
- Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b ("fs:
introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached
to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy
to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with
namespaces that are relevant on the mount level. Especially for
non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
potential source for bugs.
This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.
Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments.
Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.
Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.
We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
requirements.
In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.
- Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.
A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.
However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
up.
As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
additional tests.

This function is only used by NFSD to cross mount points.

not uncover it. Add LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT to the lookup flags
