Currently a device is only really released once the umount returns to
userspace due to how file closing works. That ultimately could cause
an old umount assumption to be violated that concurrent umount and mount
don't fail. So an exclusively held device with a temporary holder should
be yielded before the filesystem is gone. Add a helper that allows
callers to do that. This also allows us to remove the two holder ops
that Linus wasn't excited about.

Now that we open block devices as files we need to deal with the
realities that closing is a deferred operation. An operation on the
block device such as e.g., freeze, thaw, or removal that runs
concurrently with umount, tries to acquire a stable reference on the
holder. The holder might already be gone though. Make that reliable by
grabbing a passive reference to the holder during bdev_open() and
releasing it during bdev_release().

Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.
That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
that return a bdev_handle.
Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
opening and closing a file.
This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.
The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
removable completely.
A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
possible to remove bdev->bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

...
Add two new helpers to allow opening block devices as files.
This is not the final infrastructure. This still opens the block device
before opening a struct a file. Until we have removed all references to
struct bdev_handle we can't switch the order:
* Introduce blk_to_file_flags() to translate from block specific to
flags usable to pen a new file.
* Introduce bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}().
* Introduce temporary sb_bdev_handle() helper to retrieve a struct
bdev_handle from a block device file and update places that directly
reference struct bdev_handle to rely on it.
* Don't count block device openes against the number of open files. A
bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}() file is never installed into any
file descriptor table.
One idea that came to mind was to use kernel_tmpfile_open() which
would require us to pass a path and it would then call do_dentry_open()
going through the regular fops->open::blkdev_open() path. But then we're
back to the problem of routing block specific flags such as
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES through the open path and would have to waste
FMODE_* flags every time we add a new one. With this we can avoid using
a flag bit and we have more leeway in how we open block devices from
bdev_open_by_{dev,path}().

Pull vfs super updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the super work for this cycle including the long-awaited
series by Jan to make it possible to prevent writing to mounted block
devices:
- Writing to mounted devices is dangerous and can lead to filesystem
corruption as well as crashes. Furthermore syzbot comes with more
and more involved examples how to corrupt block device under a
mounted filesystem leading to kernel crashes and reports we can do
nothing about. Add tracking of writers to each block device and a
kernel cmdline argument which controls whether other writeable
opens to block devices open with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES flag are
allowed.
Note that this effectively only prevents modification of the
particular block device's page cache by other writers. The actual
device content can still be modified by other means - e.g. by
issuing direct scsi commands, by doing writes through devices lower
in the storage stack (e.g. in case loop devices, DM, or MD are
involved) etc. But blocking direct modifications of the block
device page cache is enough to give filesystems a chance to perform
data validation when loading data from the underlying storage and
thus prevent kernel crashes.
Syzbot can use this cmdline argument option to avoid uninteresting
crashes. Also users whose userspace setup does not need writing to
mounted block devices can set this option for hardening. We expect
that this will be interesting to quite a few workloads.
Btrfs is currently opted out of this because they still haven't
merged patches we require for this to work from three kernel
releases ago.
- Reimplement block device freezing and thawing as holder operations
on the block device.
This allows us to extend block device freezing to all devices
associated with a superblock and not just the main device. It also
allows us to remove get_active_super() and thus another function
that scans the global list of superblocks.
Freezing via additional block devices only works if the filesystem
chooses to use @fs_holder_ops for these additional devices as well.
That currently only includes ext4 and xfs.
Earlier releases switched get_tree_bdev() and mount_bdev() to use
@fs_holder_ops. The remaining nilfs2 open-coded version of
mount_bdev() has been converted to rely on @fs_holder_ops as well.
So block device freezing for the main block device will continue to
work as before.
There should be no regressions in functionality. The only special
case is btrfs where block device freezing for the main block device
never worked because sb->s_bdev isn't set. Block device freezing
for btrfs can be fixed once they can switch to @fs_holder_ops but
that can happen whenever they're ready"

Before [1] freezing a filesystems through the block layer only worked
for the main block device as the owning superblock of additional block
devices could not be found. Any filesystem that made use of multiple
block devices would only be freezable via it's main block device.
For example, consider xfs over device mapper with /dev/dm-0 as main
block device and /dev/dm-1 as external log device. Two freeze requests
before [1]:
(1) dmsetup suspend /dev/dm-0 on the main block device
bdev_freeze(dm-0)
-> dm-0->bd_fsfreeze_count++
-> freeze_super(xfs-sb)
The owning superblock is found and the filesystem gets frozen.
Returns 0.
(2) dmsetup suspend /dev/dm-1 on the log device
bdev_freeze(dm-1)
-> dm-1->bd_fsfreeze_count++
The owning superblock isn't found and only the block device freeze
count is incremented. Returns 0.
Two freeze requests after [1]:
(1') dmsetup suspend /dev/dm-0 on the main block device
bdev_freeze(dm-0)
-> dm-0->bd_fsfreeze_count++
-> freeze_super(xfs-sb)
The owning superblock is found and the filesystem gets frozen.
Returns 0.
(2') dmsetup suspend /dev/dm-1 on the log device
bdev_freeze(dm-0)
-> dm-0->bd_fsfreeze_count++
-> freeze_super(xfs-sb)
The owning superblock is found and the filesystem gets frozen.
Returns -EBUSY.
When (2') is called we initiate a freeze from another block device of
the same superblock. So we increment the bd_fsfreeze_count for that
additional block device. But we now also find the owning superblock for
additional block devices and call freeze_super() again which reports
-EBUSY.
This can be reproduced through xfstests via:
mkfs.xfs -f -m crc=1,reflink=1,rmapbt=1, -i sparse=1 -lsize=1g,logdev=/dev/nvme1n1p4 /dev/nvme1n1p3
mkfs.xfs -f -m crc=1,reflink=1,rmapbt=1, -i sparse=1 -lsize=1g,logdev=/dev/nvme1n1p6 /dev/nvme1n1p5
FSTYP=xfs
export TEST_DEV=/dev/nvme1n1p3
export TEST_DIR=/mnt/test
export TEST_LOGDEV=/dev/nvme1n1p4
export SCRATCH_DEV=/dev/nvme1n1p5
export SCRATCH_MNT=/mnt/scratch
export SCRATCH_LOGDEV=/dev/nvme1n1p6
export USE_EXTERNAL=yes
sudo ./check generic/311
Current semantics allow two concurrent freezers: one initiated from
userspace via FREEZE_HOLDER_USERSPACE and one initiated from the kernel
via FREEZE_HOLDER_KERNEL. If there are multiple concurrent freeze
requests from either FREEZE_HOLDER_USERSPACE or FREEZE_HOLDER_KERNEL
-EBUSY is returned.
We need to preserve these semantics because as they are uapi via
FIFREEZE and FITHAW ioctl()s. IOW, freezes don't nest for FIFREEZE and
FITHAW. Other kernels consumers rely on non-nesting freezes as well.
With freezes initiated from the block layer freezes need to nest if the
same superblock is frozen via multiple devices. So we need to start
counting the number of freeze requests.
If FREEZE_MAY_NEST is passed alongside FREEZE_HOLDER_KERNEL or
FREEZE_HOLDER_USERSPACE we allow the caller to nest freeze calls.
To accommodate the old semantics we split the freeze counter into two
counting kernel initiated and userspace initiated freezes separately. We
can then also stop recording FREEZE_HOLDER_* in struct sb_writers.
We also simplify freezing by making all concurrent freezers share a
single active superblock reference count instead of having separate
references for kernel and userspace. I don't see why we would need two
active reference counts. Neither FREEZE_HOLDER_KERNEL nor
FREEZE_HOLDER_USERSPACE can put the active reference as long as they are
concurrent freezers anwyay. That was already true before we allowed
nesting freezes.
Survives various fstests runs with different options including the
reproducer, online scrub, and online repair, fsfreze, and so on. Also
survives blktests.

because the inner overlayfs will eat all the whiteouts and overlay

We want to protect concurrent updates of ovl inode size and mtime

Punt write aio completion to a workqueue so that we can protect
ovl_copyattr() with a spinlock.
Export sb_init_dio_done_wq(), so that overlayfs can use its own
dio workqueue to punt aio completions.

The implementation of bdev holder operations such as fs_bdev_mark_dead()
and fs_bdev_sync() grab sb->s_umount semaphore under
bdev->bd_holder_lock. This is problematic because it leads to
disk->open_mutex -> sb->s_umount lock ordering which is counterintuitive
(usually we grab higher level (e.g. filesystem) locks first and lower
level (e.g. block layer) locks later) and indeed makes lockdep complain
about possible locking cycles whenever we open a block device while
holding sb->s_umount semaphore. Implement a function
bdev_super_lock_shared() which safely transitions from holding
bdev->bd_holder_lock to holding sb->s_umount on alive superblock without
introducing the problematic lock dependency. We use this function
fs_bdev_sync() and fs_bdev_mark_dead().

Pull superblock fixes from Christian Brauner:
"Two follow-up fixes for the super work this cycle:
- Move a misplaced lockep assertion before we potentially free the
object containing the lock.
- Ensure that filesystems which match superblocks in sget{_fc}()
based on sb->s_fs_info are guaranteed to see a valid sb->s_fs_info
as long as a superblock still appears on the filesystem type's
superblock list.
What we want as a proper solution for next cycle is to split
sb->free_sb() out of sb->kill_sb() so that we can simply call
kill_super_notify() after sb->kill_sb() but before sb->free_sb().
Currently, this is lumped together in sb->kill_sb()"
* tag 'v6.6-vfs.super.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
super: ensure valid info
super: move lockdep assert
For keyed filesystems that recycle superblocks based on s_fs_info or
information contained therein s_fs_info must be kept as long as the
superblock is on the filesystem type super list. This isn't guaranteed
as s_fs_info will be freed latest in sb->kill_sb().
The fix is simply to perform notification and list removal in
kill_anon_super(). Any filesystem needs to free s_fs_info after they
call the kill_*() helpers. If they don't they risk use-after-free right
now so fixing it here is guaranteed that s_fs_info remain valid.
For block backed filesystems notifying in pass sb->kill_sb() in
deactivate_locked_super() remains unproblematic and is required because
multiple other block devices can be shut down after kill_block_super()
has been called from a filesystem's sb->kill_sb() handler. For example,
ext4 and xfs close additional devices. Block based filesystems don't
depend on s_fs_info (btrfs does use s_fs_info but also uses
kill_anon_super() and not kill_block_super().).
Sorry for that braino. Goal should be to unify this behavior during this
cycle obviously. But let's please do a simple bugfix now.

Pull superblock updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the super rework that was ready for this cycle. The
first part changes the order of how we open block devices and allocate
superblocks, contains various cleanups, simplifications, and a new
mechanism to wait on superblock state changes.
This unblocks work to ultimately limit the number of writers to a
block device. Jan has already scheduled follow-up work that will be
ready for v6.7 and allows us to restrict the number of writers to a
given block device. That series builds on this work right here.
The second part contains filesystem freezing updates.
Overview:
The generic superblock changes are rougly organized as follows
(ignoring additional minor cleanups):
(1) Removal of the bd_super member from struct block_device.
This was a very odd back pointer to struct super_block with
unclear rules. For all relevant places we have other means to get
the same information so just get rid of this.
(2) Simplify rules for superblock cleanup.
Roughly, everything that is allocated during fs_context
initialization and that's stored in fs_context->s_fs_info needs
to be cleaned up by the fs_context->free() implementation before
the superblock allocation function has been called successfully.
After sget_fc() returned fs_context->s_fs_info has been
transferred to sb->s_fs_info at which point sb->kill_sb() if
fully responsible for cleanup. Adhering to these rules means that
cleanup of sb->s_fs_info in fill_super() is to be avoided as it's
brittle and inconsistent.
Cleanup shouldn't be duplicated between sb->put_super() as
sb->put_super() is only called if sb->s_root has been set aka
when the filesystem has been successfully born (SB_BORN). That
complexity should be avoided.
This also means that block devices are to be closed in
sb->kill_sb() instead of sb->put_super(). More details in the
lower section.
(3) Make it possible to lookup or create a superblock before opening
block devices
There's a subtle dependency on (2) as some filesystems did rely
on fill_super() to be called in order to correctly clean up
sb->s_fs_info. All these filesystems have been fixed.
(4) Switch most filesystem to follow the same logic as the generic
mount code now does as outlined in (3).
(5) Use the superblock as the holder of the block device. We can now
easily go back from block device to owning superblock.
(6) Export and extend the generic fs_holder_ops and use them as
holder ops everywhere and remove the filesystem specific holder
ops.
(7) Call from the block layer up into the filesystem layer when the
block device is removed, allowing to shut down the filesystem
without risk of deadlocks.
(8) Get rid of get_super().
We can now easily go back from the block device to owning
superblock and can call up from the block layer into the
filesystem layer when the device is removed. So no need to wade
through all registered superblock to find the owning superblock
anymore"

Recent rework moved block device closing out of sb->put_super() and into
sb->kill_sb() to avoid deadlocks as s_umount is held in put_super() and
blkdev_put() can end up taking s_umount again.
That means we need to move the removal of the superblock from @fs_supers
out of generic_shutdown_super() and into deactivate_locked_super() to
ensure that concurrent mounters don't fail to open block devices that
are still in use because blkdev_put() in sb->kill_sb() hasn't been
called yet.
We can now do this as we can make iterators through @fs_super and
@super_blocks wait without holding s_umount. Concurrent mounts will wait
until a dying superblock is fully dead so until sb->kill_sb() has been
called and SB_DEAD been set. Concurrent iterators can already discard
any SB_DYING superblock.

Recent patches experiment with making it possible to allocate a new
superblock before opening the relevant block device. Naturally this has
intricate side-effects that we get to learn about while developing this.
Superblock allocators such as sget{_fc}() return with s_umount of the
new superblock held and lock ordering currently requires that block
level locks such as bdev_lock and open_mutex rank above s_umount.
Before aca740cecb ("fs: open block device after superblock creation")
ordering was guaranteed to be correct as block devices were opened prior
to superblock allocation and thus s_umount wasn't held. But now s_umount
must be dropped before opening block devices to avoid locking
violations.
This has consequences. The main one being that iterators over
@super_blocks and @fs_supers that grab a temporary reference to the
superblock can now also grab s_umount before the caller has managed to
open block devices and called fill_super(). So whereas before such
iterators or concurrent mounts would have simply slept on s_umount until
SB_BORN was set or the superblock was discard due to initalization
failure they can now needlessly spin through sget{_fc}().
If the caller is sleeping on bdev_lock or open_mutex one caller waiting
on SB_BORN will always spin somewhere and potentially this can go on for
quite a while.
It should be possible to drop s_umount while allowing iterators to wait
on a nascent superblock to either be born or discarded. This patch
implements a wait_var_event() mechanism allowing iterators to sleep
until they are woken when the superblock is born or discarded.
This also allows us to avoid relooping through @fs_supers and
@super_blocks if a superblock isn't yet born or dying.

We currently have two interfaces that take a block_devices and the find
a mounted file systems to flush or invaldidate data on it. Both are a
bit problematic because they only work for the "main" block devices
that is used as s_dev for the super_block, and because they don't call
into the file system at all.
Merge the two into a new bdev_mark_dead helper that does both the
syncing and invalidation and which is properly documented. This is
in preparation of merging the functionality into the ->mark_dead
holder operation so that it will work on additional block devices
used by a file systems and give us a single entry point for invalidation
of dead devices or media.
Note that a single standalone fsync_bdev call for an obscure ioctl
remains for now, but that one will also be deal with in a bit.

Details
=======
As mentioned on the list (cf. [1]-[3]) mount requests like
mount -t ext4 /dev/sda /A are ambigous for userspace. Either a new
superblock has been created and mounted or an existing superblock has
been reused and a bind-mount has been created.
This becomes clear in the following example where two processes create
the same mount for the same block device:
P1 P2
fd_fs = fsopen("ext4"); fd_fs = fsopen("ext4");
fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "source", "/dev/sda"); fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "source", "/dev/sda");
fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "dax", "always"); fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "resuid", "1000");
// wins and creates superblock
fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, ...)
// finds compatible superblock of P1
// spins until P1 sets SB_BORN and grabs a reference
fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, ...)
fd_mnt1 = fsmount(fd_fs); fd_mnt2 = fsmount(fd_fs);
move_mount(fd_mnt1, "/A") move_mount(fd_mnt2, "/B")
Not just does P2 get a bind-mount but the mount options that P2
requestes are silently ignored. The VFS itself doesn't, can't and
shouldn't enforce filesystem specific mount option compatibility. It
only enforces incompatibility for read-only <-> read-write transitions:
mount -t ext4 /dev/sda /A
mount -t ext4 -o ro /dev/sda /B
The read-only request will fail with EBUSY as the VFS can't just
silently transition a superblock from read-write to read-only or vica
versa without risking security issues.
To userspace this silent superblock reuse can become a security issue in
because there is currently no straightforward way for userspace to know
that they did indeed manage to create a new superblock and didn't just
reuse an existing one.
This adds a new FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL command to fsconfig() that
returns EBUSY if an existing superblock would be reused. Userspace that
needs to be sure that it did create a new superblock with the requested
mount options can request superblock creation using this command. If the
command succeeds they can be sure that they did create a new superblock
with the requested mount options.
This requires the new mount api. With the old mount api it would be
necessary to plumb this through every legacy filesystem's
file_system_type->mount() method. If they want this feature they are
most welcome to switch to the new mount api.
Following is an analysis of the effect of FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL on
each high-level superblock creation helper:
(1) get_tree_nodev()
Always allocate new superblock. Hence, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE and
FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL are equivalent.
The binderfs or overlayfs filesystems are examples.
(4) get_tree_keyed()
Finds an existing superblock based on sb->s_fs_info. Hence,
FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE would reuse an existing superblock whereas
FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL would reject it with EBUSY.
The mqueue or nfsd filesystems are examples.
(2) get_tree_bdev()
This effectively works like get_tree_keyed().
The ext4 or xfs filesystems are examples.
(3) get_tree_single()
Only one superblock of this filesystem type can ever exist.
Hence, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE would reuse an existing superblock
whereas FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL would reject it with EBUSY.
The securityfs or configfs filesystems are examples.
Note that some single-instance filesystems never destroy the
superblock once it has been created during the first mount. For
example, if securityfs has been mounted at least onces then the
created superblock will never be destroyed again as long as there is
still an LSM making use it. Consequently, even if securityfs is
unmounted and the superblock seemingly destroyed it really isn't
which means that FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL will continue rejecting
reusing an existing superblock.
This is acceptable thugh since special purpose filesystems such as
this shouldn't have a need to use FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL anyway
and if they do it's probably to make sure that mount options aren't
ignored.
Following is an analysis of the effect of FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL on
filesystems that make use of the low-level sget_fc() helper directly.
They're all effectively variants on get_tree_keyed(), get_tree_bdev(),
or get_tree_nodev():
(5) mtd_get_sb()
Similar logic to get_tree_keyed().
(6) afs_get_tree()
Similar logic to get_tree_keyed().
(7) ceph_get_tree()
Similar logic to get_tree_keyed().
Already explicitly allows forcing the allocation of a new superblock
via CEPH_OPT_NOSHARE. This turns it into get_tree_nodev().
(8) fuse_get_tree_submount()
Similar logic to get_tree_nodev().
(9) fuse_get_tree()
Forces reuse of existing FUSE superblock.
Forces reuse of existing superblock if passed in file refers to an
existing FUSE connection.
If FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL is specified together with an fd
referring to an existing FUSE connections this would cause the
superblock reusal to fail. If reusing is the intent then
FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL shouldn't be specified.
(10) fuse_get_tree()
-> get_tree_nodev()
Same logic as in get_tree_nodev().
(11) fuse_get_tree()
-> get_tree_bdev()
Same logic as in get_tree_bdev().
(12) virtio_fs_get_tree()
Same logic as get_tree_keyed().
(13) gfs2_meta_get_tree()
Forces reuse of existing gfs2 superblock.
Mounting gfs2meta enforces that a gf2s superblock must already
exist. If not, it will error out. Consequently, mounting gfs2meta
with FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL would always fail. If reusing is the
intent then FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL shouldn't be specified.
(14) kernfs_get_tree()
Similar logic to get_tree_keyed().
(15) nfs_get_tree_common()
Similar logic to get_tree_keyed().
Already explicitly allows forcing the allocation of a new superblock

get_tree_nodev().

The get_tree_single_reconf() helper isn't used anywhere. Remove it.

Export fs_holder_ops so that file systems that open additional block
devices can use it as well.

fs_mark_dead currently uses get_super to find the superblock for the
block device that is going away. This means it is limited to the
main device stored in sb->s_dev, leading to a lot of code duplication
for file systems that can use multiple block devices.
Now that the holder for all block devices used by file systems is set
to the super_block, we can instead look at that holder and then check
if the file system is born and active, so do that instead.

The file system type is not a very useful holder as it doesn't allow us
to go back to the actual file system instance. Pass the super_block instead
which is useful when passed back to the file system driver.
