A backing file struct stores two path's, one "real" path that is referring
to f_inode and one "fake" path, which should be displayed to users in
/proc/<pid>/maps.
There is a lot more potential code that needs to know the "real" path, then
code that needs to know the "fake" path.
Instead of code having to request the "real" path with file_real_path(),
store the "real" path in f_path and require code that needs to know the
"fake" path request it with file_user_path().
Replace the file_real_path() helper with a simple const accessor f_path().
After this change, file_dentry() is not expected to observe any files
with overlayfs f_path and real f_inode, so the call to ->d_real() should
not be needed. Leave the ->d_real() call for now and add an assertion
in ovl_d_real() to catch if we made wrong assumptions.

A writeable mapped backing file can perform writes to the real inode.
Therefore, the real path mount must be kept writable so long as the
writable map exists.
This may not be strictly needed for ovelrayfs private upper mount,
but it is correct to take the mnt_writers count in the vfs helper.

This is most notably delegation of freeing to task_work, which comes
with an enormous cost (see 021a160abf ("fs: use __fput_sync in

file refcount is checked as a safety belt against buggy consumers with
an atomic cmpxchg. Technically it is not necessary, but it happens to
not be measurable due to several other atomics which immediately follow.
Optmizing them away to make this atomic into a problem is left as an
exercise for the reader.

- handle the refcount with cmpxchg, adjust commentary accordingly

Before exporting these helpers to modules, make their names more
meaningful.
The names mnt_{get,put)_write_access*() were chosen, because they rhyme
with the inode {get,put)_write_access() helpers, which have a very close
meaning for the inode object.

Merge tag 'v6.5/vfs.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
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"

Merge tag 'v6.5/vfs.rename.locking' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs rename locking updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work from Jan to fix problems with cross-directory
renames originally reported in [1].
To quickly sum it up some filesystems (so far we know at least about
ext4, udf, f2fs, ocfs2, likely also reiserfs, gfs2 and others) need to
lock the directory when it is being renamed into another directory.
This is because we need to update the parent pointer in the directory
in that case and if that races with other operations on the directory,
in particular a conversion from one directory format into another, bad
things can happen.
So far we've done the locking in the filesystem code but recently
Darrick pointed out in [2] that the RENAME_EXCHANGE case was missing.
That one is particularly nasty because RENAME_EXCHANGE can arbitrarily
mix regular files and directories and proper lock ordering is not
achievable in the filesystems alone.
This patch set adds locking into vfs_rename() so that not only parent
directories but also moved inodes, regardless of whether they are
directories or not, are locked when calling into the filesystem.
This means establishing a locking order for unrelated directories. New
helpers are added for this purpose and our documentation is updated to
cover this in detail.
The locking is now actually easier to follow as we now always lock
source and target. We've always locked the target independent of
whether it was a directory or file and we've always locked source if
it was a regular file. The exact details for why this came about can
be found in [3] and [4]"

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().

Now that we converted everything to just rely on struct mnt_idmap move it all
into a separate file. This ensure that no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap without any dedicated helpers and makes it easier to extend it in the

idmappings as they are two distinct types and require distinct helpers that
cannot be used interchangeably. We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap

In previous patches we built a new posix api solely around get and set
inode operations. Now that we have all the pieces in place we can switch
the system calls and the vfs over to only rely on this api when
interacting with posix acls. This finally removes all type unsafety and
type conversion issues explained in detail in [1] that we aim to get rid
of.
With the new posix acl api we immediately translate into an appropriate
kernel internal struct posix_acl format both when getting and setting
posix acls. This is a stark contrast to before were we hacked unsafe raw
values into the uapi struct that was stored in a void pointer relying
and having filesystems and security modules hack around in the uapi
struct as well.

Split out the generic checks whether an inode allows writing xattrs. Since
security.* and system.* xattrs don't have any restrictions and we're going
to split out posix acls into a dedicated api we will use this helper to
check whether we can write posix acls.

Currently setgid stripping in file_remove_privs()'s should_remove_suid()
helper is inconsistent with other parts of the vfs. Specifically, it only
raises ATTR_KILL_SGID if the inode is S_ISGID and S_IXGRP but not if the
inode isn't in the caller's groups and the caller isn't privileged over the
inode although we require this already in setattr_prepare() and
setattr_copy() and so all filesystem implement this requirement implicitly
because they have to use setattr_{prepare,copy}() anyway.
But the inconsistency shows up in setgid stripping bugs for overlayfs in
xfstests (e.g., generic/673, generic/683, generic/685, generic/686,
generic/687). For example, we test whether suid and setgid stripping works
correctly when performing various write-like operations as an unprivileged
user (fallocate, reflink, write, etc.):
echo "Test 1 - qa_user, non-exec file $verb"
setup_testfile
chmod a+rws $junk_file
commit_and_check "$qa_user" "$verb" 64k 64k
The test basically creates a file with 6666 permissions. While the file has
the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits set it does not have the S_IXGRP set. On a
regular filesystem like xfs what will happen is:
sys_fallocate()
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> xfs_file_fallocate()
-> file_modified()
-> __file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
-> notify_change()
-> setattr_copy()
In should_remove_suid() we can see that ATTR_KILL_SUID is raised
unconditionally because the file in the test has S_ISUID set.
But we also see that ATTR_KILL_SGID won't be set because while the file
is S_ISGID it is not S_IXGRP (see above) which is a condition for
ATTR_KILL_SGID being raised.
So by the time we call notify_change() we have attr->ia_valid set to
ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_FORCE. Now notify_change() sees that
ATTR_KILL_SUID is set and does:
ia_valid = attr->ia_valid |= ATTR_MODE
attr->ia_mode = (inode->i_mode & ~S_ISUID);
which means that when we call setattr_copy() later we will definitely
update inode->i_mode. Note that attr->ia_mode still contains S_ISGID.
Now we call into the filesystem's ->setattr() inode operation which will
end up calling setattr_copy(). Since ATTR_MODE is set we will hit:
if (ia_valid & ATTR_MODE) {
umode_t mode = attr->ia_mode;
vfsgid_t vfsgid = i_gid_into_vfsgid(mnt_userns, inode);
if (!vfsgid_in_group_p(vfsgid) &&
!capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(mnt_userns, inode, CAP_FSETID))
mode &= ~S_ISGID;
inode->i_mode = mode;
}
and since the caller in the test is neither capable nor in the group of the
inode the S_ISGID bit is stripped.
But assume the file isn't suid then ATTR_KILL_SUID won't be raised which
has the consequence that neither the setgid nor the suid bits are stripped
even though it should be stripped because the inode isn't in the caller's
groups and the caller isn't privileged over the inode.
If overlayfs is in the mix things become a bit more complicated and the bug
shows up more clearly. When e.g., ovl_setattr() is hit from
ovl_fallocate()'s call to file_remove_privs() then ATTR_KILL_SUID and
ATTR_KILL_SGID might be raised but because the check in notify_change() is
questioning the ATTR_KILL_SGID flag again by requiring S_IXGRP for it to be
stripped the S_ISGID bit isn't removed even though it should be stripped:
sys_fallocate()
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> ovl_fallocate()
-> file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
-> notify_change()
-> ovl_setattr()
// TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS
-> ovl_do_notify_change()
-> notify_change()
// GIVE UP MOUNTER'S CREDS
// TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> xfs_file_fallocate()
-> file_modified()
-> __file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = attr_force | kill;
-> notify_change()
The fix for all of this is to make file_remove_privs()'s
should_remove_suid() helper to perform the same checks as we already
require in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and have notify_change()
not pointlessly requiring S_IXGRP again. It doesn't make any sense in the
first place because the caller must calculate the flags via
should_remove_suid() anyway which would raise ATTR_KILL_SGID.
While we're at it we move should_remove_suid() from inode.c to attr.c
where it belongs with the rest of the iattr helpers. Especially since it
returns ATTR_KILL_S{G,U}ID flags. We also rename it to
setattr_should_drop_suidgid() to better reflect that it indicates both
setuid and setgid bit removal and also that it returns attr flags.
Running xfstests with this doesn't report any regressions. We should really
try and use consistent checks.

Thread A trying to acquire a write lease checks the value of i_readcount
and i_writecount in check_conflicting_open() to verify that its own fd
is the only fd referencing the file.
Thread B trying to open the file for read will call break_lease() in
do_dentry_open() before incrementing i_readcount, which leaves a small
window where thread A can acquire the write lease and then thread B
completes the open of the file for read without breaking the write lease
that was acquired by thread A.
Fix this race by incrementing i_readcount before checking for existing
leases, same as the case with i_writecount.
Use a helper put_file_access() to decrement i_readcount or i_writecount

Currently we have 3 primitives for removing an opened file from descriptor
table - pick_file(), __close_fd_get_file() and close_fd_get_file(). Their
calling conventions are rather odd and there's a code duplication for no
good reason. They can be unified -
1) have __range_close() cap max_fd in the very beginning; that way
we don't need separate way for pick_file() to report being past the end
of descriptor table.
2) make {__,}close_fd_get_file() return file (or NULL) directly, rather
than returning it via struct file ** argument. Don't bother with
(bogus) return value - nobody wants that -ENOENT.
3) make pick_file() return NULL on unopened descriptor - the only caller
that used to care about the distinction between descriptor past the end
of descriptor table and finding NULL in descriptor table doesn't give
a damn after (1).
4) lift ->files_lock out of pick_file()
That actually simplifies the callers, as well as the primitives themselves.
Code duplication is also gone...

- tree-checker: verify the transaction id of the to-be-written dirty
extent buffer
Performance improvements for fsync:
- directory logging speedups (up to -90% run time)
- avoid logging all directory changes during renames (up to -60% run
time)
- avoid inode logging during rename and link when possible (up to
-60% run time)
- prepare extents to be logged before locking a log tree path
(throughput +7%)
- stop copying old file extents when doing a full fsync()
- improved logging of old extents after truncate
Core, fixes:
- improved stale device identification by dev_t and not just path
(for devices that are behind other layers like device mapper)
- continued extent tree v2 preparatory work
- disable features that won't work yet
- add wrappers and abstractions for new tree roots
- improved error handling
- add super block write annotations around background block group
reclaim
- fix device scanning messages potentially accessing stale pointer

One of the key architectual tenets is to keep the parameters for

be changed. Unfortunaltely this is not the case for the current statx
implementation.
IO-Uring change:
This changes replaces the const char * filename pointer in the io_statx
structure with a struct filename *. In addition it also creates the
filename object during the prepare phase.
With this change, the opcode also needs to invoke cleanup, so the
filename object gets freed after processing the request.
fs change:
This replaces the const char* __user filename parameter in the two
functions do_statx and vfs_statx with a struct filename *. In addition
to be able to correctly construct a filename object a new helper
function getname_statx_lookup_flags is introduced. The function makes
sure that do_statx and vfs_statx is invoked with the correct lookup flags.

Historically (pre-2.5), the inode shrinker used to reclaim only empty
inodes and skip over those that still contained page cache. This caused
problems on highmem hosts: struct inode could put fill lowmem zones
before the cache was getting reclaimed in the highmem zones.
To address this, the inode shrinker started to strip page cache to
facilitate reclaiming lowmem. However, this comes with its own set of
problems: the shrinkers may drop actively used page cache just because
the inodes are not currently open or dirty - think working with a large
git tree. It further doesn't respect cgroup memory protection settings
and can cause priority inversions between containers.
Nowadays, the page cache also holds non-resident info for evicted cache
pages in order to detect refaults. We've come to rely heavily on this
data inside reclaim for protecting the cache workingset and driving swap
behavior. We also use it to quantify and report workload health through
psi. The latter in turn is used for fleet health monitoring, as well as
driving automated memory sizing of workloads and containers, proactive
reclaim and memory offloading schemes.
The consequences of dropping page cache prematurely is that we're seeing
subtle and not-so-subtle failures in all of the above-mentioned
scenarios, with the workload generally entering unexpected thrashing
states while losing the ability to reliably detect it.
To fix this on non-highmem systems at least, going back to rotating
inodes on the LRU isn't feasible. We've tried (commit a76cf1a474
("mm: don't reclaim inodes with many attached pages")) and failed
(commit 69056ee6a8 ("Revert "mm: don't reclaim inodes with many
attached pages"")).
The issue is mostly that shrinker pools attract pressure based on their
size, and when objects get skipped the shrinkers remember this as
deferred reclaim work. This accumulates excessive pressure on the
remaining inodes, and we can quickly eat into heavily used ones, or
dirty ones that require IO to reclaim, when there potentially is plenty
of cold, clean cache around still.
Instead, this patch keeps populated inodes off the inode LRU in the
first place - just like an open file or dirty state would. An otherwise
clean and unused inode then gets queued when the last cache entry
disappears. This solves the problem without reintroducing the reclaim
issues, and generally is a bit more scalable than having to wade through
potentially hundreds of thousands of busy inodes.
Locking is a bit tricky because the locks protecting the inode state
(i_lock) and the inode LRU (lru_list.lock) don't nest inside the
irq-safe page cache lock (i_pages.xa_lock). Page cache deletions are
serialized through i_lock, taken before the i_pages lock, to make sure
depopulated inodes are queued reliably. Additions may race with
deletions, but we'll check again in the shrinker. If additions race
with the shrinker itself, we're protected by the i_lock: if find_inode()
or iput() win, the shrinker will bail on the elevated i_count or
I_REFERENCED; if the shrinker wins and goes ahead with the inode, it
will set I_FREEING and inhibit further igets(), which will cause the
other side to create a new instance of the inode instead.
