fs: use all available ids
The counter is unconditionally incremented for each mount allocation.
If we set it to 1ULL << 32 we're losing 4294967296 as the first valid
non-32 bit mount id.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.11.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs mount query updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains work to extend the abilities of listmount() and
  statmount() and various fixes and cleanups.

  Features:

   - Allow iterating through mounts via listmount() from newest to
     oldest. This makes it possible for mount(8) to keep iterating the
     mount table in reverse order so it gets newest mounts first.

   - Relax permissions on listmount() and statmount().

     It's not necessary to have capabilities in the initial namespace:
     it is sufficient to have capabilities in the owning namespace of
     the mount namespace we're located in to list unreachable mounts in
     that namespace.

   - Extend both listmount() and statmount() to list and stat mounts in
     foreign mount namespaces.

     Currently the only way to iterate over mount entries in mount
     namespaces that aren't in the caller's mount namespace is by
     crawling through /proc in order to find /proc/<pid>/mountinfo for
     the relevant mount namespace.

     This is both very clumsy and hugely inefficient. So extend struct
     mnt_id_req with a new member that allows to specify the mount
     namespace id of the mount namespace we want to look at.

     Luckily internally we already have most of the infrastructure for
     this so we just need to expose it to userspace. Give userspace a
     way to retrieve the id of a mount namespace via statmount() and
     through a new nsfs ioctl() on mount namespace file descriptor.

     This comes with appropriate selftests.

   - Expose mount options through statmount().

     Currently if userspace wants to get mount options for a mount and
     with statmount(), they still have to open /proc/<pid>/mountinfo to
     parse mount options. Simply the information through statmount()
     directly.

     Afterwards it's possible to only rely on statmount() and
     listmount() to retrieve all and more information than
     /proc/<pid>/mountinfo provides.

     This comes with appropriate selftests.

  Fixes:

   - Avoid copying to userspace under the namespace semaphore in
     listmount.

  Cleanups:

   - Simplify the error handling in listmount by relying on our newly
     added cleanup infrastructure.

   - Refuse invalid mount ids early for both listmount and statmount"

In this mount table the root mount of the mount namespace is the mount
with id 363 (It isn't visible because it's literally just what the
rootfs mount is mounted upon and usually it's just a copy of the real
rootfs).

The rootfs mount that's mounted on the root mount of the mount namespace
is the mount with id 412. But the mount namespace contains mounts that
were created before the rootfs mount and thus have earlier mount ids. So
the first call to listmnt_next() would return the mount with the mount
id 408 and not the rootfs mount.

So we need to find the actual rootfs mount mounted on the root mount of
the mount namespace. This logic is also present in mntns_install() where
vfs_path_lookup() is used. We can't use this though as we're holding the
namespace semaphore. We could look at the children of the root mount of
the mount namespace directly but that also seems a bit out of place
while we have the rbtree. So let's just iterate through the rbtree
starting from the root mount of the mount namespace and find the mount
whose parent is the root mount of the mount namespace. That mount will
usually appear very early in the rbtree and afaik there can only be one.
IOW, it would be very strange if we ended up with a root mount of a
mount namespace that has shadow mounts.

fs: export mount options via statmount()
statmount() can export arbitrary strings, so utilize the __spare1 slot
for a mnt_opts string pointer, and then support asking for and setting
the mount options during statmount().  This calls into the helper for
showing mount options, which already uses a seq_file, so fits in nicely
with our existing mechanism for exporting strings via statmount().

This patch makes use of the new mnt_ns_id field in struct mnt_id_req to
allow users to stat mount entries not in their mount namespace.  The
rules are the same as listmount(), the user must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in
their user namespace and the target mount namespace must be a child of
the current namespace.

listmount: allow listing in reverse order
util-linux is about to implement listmount() and statmount() support.
Karel requested the ability to scan the mount table in backwards order
because that's what libmount currently does in order to get the latest
mount first. We currently don't support this in listmount(). Add a new
LISTMOUNT_REVERSE flag to allow listing mounts in reverse order. For
example, listing all child mounts of /sys without LISTMOUNT_REVERSE
gives:

    /sys/kernel/security @ mnt_id: 4294968369
    /sys/fs/cgroup @ mnt_id: 4294968370
    /sys/firmware/efi/efivars @ mnt_id: 4294968371
    /sys/fs/bpf @ mnt_id: 4294968372
    /sys/kernel/tracing @ mnt_id: 4294968373
    /sys/kernel/debug @ mnt_id: 4294968374
    /sys/fs/fuse/connections @ mnt_id: 4294968375
    /sys/kernel/config @ mnt_id: 4294968376

whereas with LISTMOUNT_REVERSE it gives:

    /sys/kernel/config @ mnt_id: 4294968376
    /sys/fs/fuse/connections @ mnt_id: 4294968375

fs: don't copy to userspace under namespace semaphore
Don't copy mount ids to userspace while holding the namespace semaphore.
We really shouldn't do that and I've gone through lenghts avoiding that
in statmount() already.

Limit the number of mounts that can be retrieved in one go to 1 million
mount ids. That's effectively 10 times the default limt of 100000 mounts
that we put on each mount namespace by default. Since listmount() is an
iterator limiting the number of mounts retrievable in one go isn't a
problem as userspace can just pick up where they left off.

Karel menti_ned that libmount will probably be reading the mount table
in "in small steps, 512 nodes per request. Nobody likes a tool that
takes too long in the kernel, and huge servers are unusual use cases.
Libmount will very probably provide API to define size of the step (IDs
per request)."

vfs: support statx(..., NULL, AT_EMPTY_PATH, ...)
The newly used helper also checks for empty ("") paths.

NULL paths with any flag value other than AT_EMPTY_PATH go the usual
route and end up with -EFAULT to retain compatibility (Rust is abusing
calls of the sort to detect availability of statx).

This avoids path lookup code, lockref management, memory allocation and
in case of NULL path userspace memory access (which can be quite
expensive with SMAP on x86_64).

Benchmarked with statx(..., AT_EMPTY_PATH, ...) running on Sapphire
Rapids, with the "" path for the first two cases and NULL for the last
one.

Results in ops/s:

This involves renaming the opaque variables (e.g., p, q, r, s)
to be more descriptive, aiming to make the code easier to understand.

Changes:
mnt     -> src_root (root of the tree to copy)
r       -> src_root_child (direct child of the root being cloning)
p       -> src_parent (parent of src_mnt)
s       -> src_mnt (current mount being copying)

A current limitation of open_by_handle_at() is that it's currently not possible
to use it from within containers at all because we require CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
in the initial namespace. That's unfortunate because there are scenarios where
using open_by_handle_at() from within containers.

Two examples:

(1) cgroupfs allows to encode cgroups to file handles and reopen them with
    open_by_handle_at().
(2) Fanotify allows placing filesystem watches they currently aren't usable in
    containers because the returned file handles cannot be used.

Here's a proposal for relaxing the permission check for open_by_handle_at().

(1) Opening file handles when the caller has privileges over the filesystem
    (1.1) The caller has an unobstructed view of the filesystem.
    (1.2) The caller has permissions to follow a path to the file handle.

This doesn't address the problem of opening a file handle when only a portion
of a filesystem is exposed as is common in containers by e.g., bind-mounting a
subtree. The proposal to solve this use-case is:

(2) Opening file handles when the caller has privileges over a subtree
    (2.1) The caller is able to reach the file from the provided mount fd.
    (2.2) The caller has permissions to construct an unobstructed path to the
          file handle.
    (2.3) The caller has permissions to follow a path to the file handle.

The relaxed permission checks are currently restricted to directory file
handles which are what both cgroupfs and fanotify need. Handling disconnected
non-directory file handles would lead to a potentially non-deterministic api.
If a disconnected non-directory file handle is provided we may fail to decode
a valid path that we could use for permission checking. That in itself isn't a
problem as we would just return EACCES in that case. However, confusion may
arise if a non-disconnected dentry ends up in the cache later and those opening
the file handle would suddenly succeed.

* It's potentially possible to use timing information (side-channel) to infer
  whether a given inode exists. I don't think that's particularly
  problematic. Thanks to Jann for bringing this to my attention.

* An unrelated note (IOW, these are thoughts that apply to
  open_by_handle_at() generically and are unrelated to the changes here):
  Jann pointed out that we should verify whether deleted files could
  potentially be reopened through open_by_handle_at(). I don't think that's
  possible though.

  Another potential thing to check is whether open_by_handle_at() could be
  abused to open internal stuff like memfds or gpu stuff. I don't think so
  but I haven't had the time to completely verify this.

This dates back to discussions Amir and I had quite some time ago and thanks to
him for providing a lot of details around the export code and related patches!

fs: relax mount_setattr() permission checks
When we added mount_setattr() I added additional checks compared to the
legacy do_reconfigure_mnt() and do_change_type() helpers used by regular
mount(2). If that mount had a parent then verify that the caller and the
mount namespace the mount is attached to match and if not make sure that
it's an anonymous mount.

The real rootfs falls into neither category. It is neither an anoymous
mount because it is obviously attached to the initial mount namespace
but it also obviously doesn't have a parent mount. So that means legacy
mount(2) allows changing mount properties on the real rootfs but
mount_setattr(2) blocks this. I never thought much about this but of
course someone on this planet of earth changes properties on the real
rootfs as can be seen in [1].

Since util-linux finally switched to the new mount api in 2.39 not so
long ago it also relies on mount_setattr() and that surfaced this issue
when Fedora 39 finally switched to it. Fix this.

a05aea98d4 sysctl-6.8-rc1
To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size
 penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the
 final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this
 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.

 "There are no exciting changes for users, it's been mostly API
  conversions and some fixes or refactoring.

  The mount API conversion is a base for future improvements that would
  come with VFS. Metadata processing has been converted to folios, not
  yet enabling the large folios but it's one patch away once everything
  gets tested enough.

  Core changes:

   - convert extent buffers to folios:
      - direct API conversion where possible
      - performance can drop by a few percent on metadata heavy
        workloads, the folio sizes are not constant and the calculations
        add up in the item helpers
      - both regular and subpage modes
      - data cannot be converted yet, we need to port that to iomap and
        there are some other generic changes required

   - convert mount to the new API, should not be user visible:
      - options deprecated long time ago have been removed: inode_cache,
        recovery
      - the new logic that splits mount to two phases slightly changes
        timing of device scanning for multi-device filesystems
      - LSM options will now work (like for selinux)

   - convert delayed nodes radix tree to xarray, preserving the
     preload-like logic that still allows to allocate with GFP_NOFS

   - more validation of sysfs value of scrub_speed_max

   - refactor chunk map structure, reduce size and improve performance

   - extent map refactoring, smaller data structures, improved
     performance

   - reduce size of struct extent_io_tree, embedded in several
     structures

   - temporary pages used for compression are cached and attached to a
     shrinker, this may slightly improve performance

   - in zoned mode, remove redirty extent buffer tracking, zeros are
     written in case an out-of-order is detected and proper data are
     written to the actual write pointer

   - cleanups, refactoring, error message improvements, updated tests

   - verify and update branch name or tag

   - remove unwanted text"

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the work to retrieve detailed information about mounts
  via two new system calls. This is hopefully the beginning of the end
  of the saga that started with fsinfo() years ago.

  The LWN articles in [1] and [2] can serve as a summary so we can avoid
  rehashing everything here.

  At LSFMM in May 2022 we got into a room and agreed on what we want to
  do about fsinfo(). Basically, split it into pieces. This is the first
  part of that agreement. Specifically, it is concerned with retrieving
  information about mounts. So this only concerns the mount information
  retrieval, not the mount table change notification, or the extended
  filesystem specific mount option work. That is separate work.

  Currently mounts have a 32bit id. Mount ids are already in heavy use
  by libmount and other low-level userspace but they can't be relied
  upon because they're recycled very quickly. We agreed that mounts
  should carry a unique 64bit id by which they can be referenced
  directly. This is now implemented as part of this work.

  The new 64bit mount id is exposed in statx() through the new
  STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE flag. If the flag isn't raised the old mount id is
  returned. If it is raised and the kernel supports the new 64bit mount
  id the flag is raised in the result mask and the new 64bit mount id is
  returned. New and old mount ids do not overlap so they cannot be
  conflated.

  Two new system calls are introduced that operate on the 64bit mount
  id: statmount() and listmount(). A summary of the api and usage can be
  found on LWN as well (cf. [3]) but of course, I'll provide a summary
  here as well.

  Both system calls rely on struct mnt_id_req. Which is the request
  struct used to pass the 64bit mount id identifying the mount to
  operate on. It is extensible to allow for the addition of new
  parameters and for future use in other apis that make use of mount
  ids.

  statmount() mimicks the semantics of statx() and exposes a set flags
  that userspace may raise in mnt_id_req to request specific information
  to be retrieved. A statmount() call returns a struct statmount filled
  in with information about the requested mount. Supported requests are
  indicated by raising the request flag passed in struct mnt_id_req in
  the @mask argument in struct statmount.

  Currently we do support:

   - STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC:
     Basic filesystem info

   - STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC
     Mount information (mount id, parent mount id, mount attributes etc)

   - STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM
     Propagation from what mount in current namespace

   - STATMOUNT_MNT_ROOT
     Path of the root of the mount (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /bla)

   - STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT
     Path of the mount point (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /mnt)

   - STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
     Name of the filesystem type as the magic number isn't enough due to submounts

  The string options STATMOUNT_MNT_{ROOT,POINT} and STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
  are appended to the end of the struct. Userspace can use the offsets
  in @fs_type, @mnt_root, and @mnt_point to reference those strings
  easily.

  The struct statmount reserves quite a bit of space currently for
  future extensibility. This isn't really a problem and if this bothers
  us we can just send a follow-up pull request during this cycle.

  listmount() is given a 64bit mount id via mnt_id_req just as
  statmount(). It takes a buffer and a size to return an array of the
  64bit ids of the child mounts of the requested mount. Userspace can
  thus choose to either retrieve child mounts for a mount in batches or
  iterate through the child mounts. For most use-cases it will be
  sufficient to just leave space for a few child mounts. But for big
  mount tables having an iterator is really helpful. Iterating through a
  mount table works by setting @param in mnt_id_req to the mount id of
  the last child mount retrieved in the previous listmount() call"

9d5b947535 fs: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove sentinel elements ctl_table struct. Special attention was placed in
making sure that an empty directory for fs/verity was created when
CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES is not defined. In this case we use the
register sysctl call that expects a size.

add listmount(2) syscall
Add way to query the children of a particular mount.  This is a more
flexible way to iterate the mount tree than having to parse
/proc/self/mountinfo.

Lookup the mount by the new 64bit mount ID. If a mount needs to be
queried based on path, then statx(2) can be used to first query the
mount ID belonging to the path.

Return an array of new (64bit) mount ID's. Without privileges only
mounts are listed which are reachable from the task's root.

Folded into this patch are several later improvements. Keeping them
separate would make the history pointlessly confusing:

* Recursive listing of mounts is the default now (cf. [1]).
* Remove explicit LISTMOUNT_UNREACHABLE flag (cf. [1]) and fail if mount
  is unreachable from current root. This also makes permission checking
  consistent with statmount() (cf. [3]).
* Start listing mounts in unique mount ID order (cf. [2]) to allow
  continuing listmount() from a midpoint.
* Allow to continue listmount(). The @request_mask parameter is renamed
  and to @param to be usable by both statmount() and listmount().
  If @param is set to a mount id then listmount() will continue listing
  mounts from that id on. This allows listing mounts in multiple
  listmount invocations without having to resize the buffer. If @param
  is zero then the listing starts from the beginning (cf. [4]).
* Don't return EOVERFLOW, instead return the buffer size which allows to
  detect a full buffer as well (cf. [4]).

statmount: simplify string option retrieval
The previous code was a bit too clever for what we currently support.

A few minor changes:

* Avoid indirect function calls and use a simple switch statement. We
  really only have three cases to handle so it's not like it's massively
  complex. We can switch to something more elaborate should we introduce
  more complex options.
* Defer all copy_to_user() calls until after we've given up namespace
  semaphore.
  On kernels with userfaultfd it's possible to abuse copy_from/to_user()
  calls to indefinitely block on page faults. That's usually a
  privileged operation but may be made available to unprivileged users.

  Independent of userfaultfd it's better to not do all the
  copy_to_user() work while holding namespace semaphore. Instead collect
  the information and then copy it out after we've given up all locks.
* This also folds a change from Arnd to reduce the stack size in
  prepare_kstatmount() to avoid warning such as:

  fs/namespace.c:4995:1: error: stack frame size (1536) exceeds limit (1024) in '__se_sys_statmount' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]

add statmount(2) syscall
Add a way to query attributes of a single mount instead of having to parse
the complete /proc/$PID/mountinfo, which might be huge.

Lookup the mount the new 64bit mount ID.  If a mount needs to be queried
based on path, then statx(2) can be used to first query the mount ID
belonging to the path.

Design is based on a suggestion by Linus:

  "So I'd suggest something that is very much like "statfsat()", which gets
   a buffer and a length, and returns an extended "struct statfs" *AND*
   just a string description at the end."

The interface closely mimics that of statx.

Handle ASCII attributes by appending after the end of the structure (as per
above suggestion).  Pointers to strings are stored in u64 members to make
the structure the same regardless of pointer size.  Strings are nul
terminated.

mounts: keep list of mounts in an rbtree
When adding a mount to a namespace insert it into an rbtree rooted in the
mnt_namespace instead of a linear list.

The mnt.mnt_list is still used to set up the mount tree and for
propagation, but not after the mount has been added to a namespace.  Hence
mnt_list can live in union with rb_node.  Use MNT_ONRB mount flag to
validate that the mount is on the correct list.

This allows removing the cursor used for reading /proc/$PID/mountinfo.  The
mnt_id_unique of the next mount can be used as an index into the seq file.

Tested by inserting 100k bind mounts, unsharing the mount namespace, and
unmounting.  No performance regressions have been observed.

For the last mount in the 100k list the statmount() call was more than 100x
faster due to the mount ID lookup not having to do a linear search.  This
patch makes the overhead of mount ID lookup non-observable in this range.

add unique mount ID
If a mount is released then its mnt_id can immediately be reused.  This is
bad news for user interfaces that want to uniquely identify a mount.

Implementing a unique mount ID is trivial (use a 64bit counter).
Unfortunately userspace assumes 32bit size and would overflow after the
counter reaches 2^32.

Introduce a new 64bit ID alongside the old one.  Initialize the counter to
2^32, this guarantees that the old and new IDs are never mixed up.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the work to extend move_mount() to allow adding a mount
  beneath the topmost mount of a mount stack.

  There are two LWN articles about this. One covers the original patch
  series in [1]. The other in [2] summarizes the session and roughly the
  discussion between Al and me at LSFMM. The second article also goes
  into some good questions from attendees.

  Since all details are found in the relevant commit with a technical
  dive into semantics and locking at the end I'm only adding the
  motivation and core functionality for this from commit message and
  leave out the invasive details. The code is also heavily commented and
  annotated as well which was explicitly requested.

  TL;DR:

    > mount -t ext4 /dev/sda /mnt
      |
      └─/mnt    /dev/sda    ext4

    > mount --beneath -t xfs /dev/sdb /mnt
      |
      └─/mnt    /dev/sdb    xfs
        └─/mnt  /dev/sda    ext4

    > umount /mnt
      |
      └─/mnt    /dev/sdb    xfs

  The longer motivation is that various distributions are adding or are
  in the process of adding support for system extensions and in the
  future configuration extensions through various tools. A more detailed
  explanation on system and configuration extensions can be found on the
  manpage which is listed below at [3].

  System extension images may – dynamically at runtime — extend the
  /usr/ and /opt/ directory hierarchies with additional files. This is
  particularly useful on immutable system images where a /usr/ and/or
  /opt/ hierarchy residing on a read-only file system shall be extended
  temporarily at runtime without making any persistent modifications.

  When one or more system extension images are activated, their /usr/
  and /opt/ hierarchies are combined via overlayfs with the same
  hierarchies of the host OS, and the host /usr/ and /opt/ overmounted
  with it ("merging"). When they are deactivated, the mount point is
  disassembled — again revealing the unmodified original host version of
  the hierarchy ("unmerging"). Merging thus makes the extension's
  resources suddenly appear below the /usr/ and /opt/ hierarchies as if
  they were included in the base OS image itself. Unmerging makes them
  disappear again, leaving in place only the files that were shipped
  with the base OS image itself.

  System configuration images are similar but operate on directories
  containing system or service configuration.

  On nearly all modern distributions mount propagation plays a crucial
  role and the rootfs of the OS is a shared mount in a peer group
  (usually with peer group id 1):

     TARGET  SOURCE  FSTYPE  PROPAGATION  MNT_ID  PARENT_ID
     /       /       ext4    shared:1     29      1

  On such systems all services and containers run in a separate mount
  namespace and are pivot_root()ed into their rootfs. A separate mount
  namespace is almost always used as it is the minimal isolation
  mechanism services have. But usually they are even much more isolated
  up to the point where they almost become indistinguishable from
  containers.

  Mount propagation again plays a crucial role here. The rootfs of all
  these services is a slave mount to the peer group of the host rootfs.
  This is done so the service will receive mount propagation events from
  the host when certain files or directories are updated.

  In addition, the rootfs of each service, container, and sandbox is
  also a shared mount in its separate peer group:

     TARGET  SOURCE  FSTYPE  PROPAGATION         MNT_ID  PARENT_ID
     /       /       ext4    shared:24 master:1  71      47

  For people not too familiar with mount propagation, the master:1 means
  that this is a slave mount to peer group 1. Which as one can see is
  the host rootfs as indicated by shared:1 above. The shared:24
  indicates that the service rootfs is a shared mount in a separate peer
  group with peer group id 24.

  A service may run other services. Such nested services will also have
  a rootfs mount that is a slave to the peer group of the outer service
  rootfs mount.

  For containers things are just slighly different. A container's rootfs
  isn't a slave to the service's or host rootfs' peer group. The rootfs
  mount of a container is simply a shared mount in its own peer group:

     TARGET                    SOURCE  FSTYPE  PROPAGATION  MNT_ID  PARENT_ID
     /home/ubuntu/debian-tree  /       ext4    shared:99    61      60

  So whereas services are isolated OS components a container is treated
  like a separate world and mount propagation into it is restricted to a
  single well known mount that is a slave to the peer group of the
  shared mount /run on the host:

     TARGET                  SOURCE              FSTYPE  PROPAGATION  MNT_ID  PARENT_ID
     /propagate/debian-tree  /run/host/incoming  tmpfs   master:5     71      68

  Here, the master:5 indicates that this mount is a slave to the peer
  group with peer group id 5. This allows to propagate mounts into the
  container and served as a workaround for not being able to insert
  mounts into mount namespaces directly. But the new mount api does
  support inserting mounts directly. For the interested reader the
  blogpost in [4] might be worth reading where I explain the old and the
  new approach to inserting mounts into mount namespaces.

  Containers of course, can themselves be run as services. They often
  run full systems themselves which means they again run services and
  containers with the exact same propagation settings explained above.

  The whole system is designed so that it can be easily updated,
  including all services in various fine-grained ways without having to
  enter every single service's mount namespace which would be
  prohibitively expensive. The mount propagation layout has been
  carefully chosen so it is possible to propagate updates for system
  extensions and configurations from the host into all services.

  The simplest model to update the whole system is to mount on top of
  /usr, /opt, or /etc on the host. The new mount on /usr, /opt, or /etc
  will then propagate into every service. This works cleanly the first
  time. However, when the system is updated multiple times it becomes
  necessary to unmount the first update on /opt, /usr, /etc and then
  propagate the new update. But this means, there's an interval where
  the old base system is accessible. This has to be avoided to protect
  against downgrade attacks.

  The vfs already exposes a mechanism to userspace whereby mounts can be
  mounted beneath an existing mount. Such mounts are internally referred
  to as "tucked". The patch series exposes the ability to mount beneath
  a top mount through the new MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH flag for the
  move_mount() system call. This allows userspace to seamlessly upgrade
  mounts. After this series the only thing that will have changed is
  that mounting beneath an existing mount can be done explicitly instead
  of just implicitly.

  The crux is that the proposed mechanism already exists and that it is
  so powerful as to cover cases where mounts are supposed to be updated
  with new versions. Crucially, it offers an important flexibility.
  Namely that updates to a system may either be forced or can be delayed
  and the umount of the top mount be left to a service if it is a
  cooperative one"

propagate the new update. But this means, there's an interval where the
old base system is accessible. This has to be avoided to protect against
downgrade attacks.

The vfs already exposes a mechanism to userspace whereby mounts can be
mounted beneath an existing mount. Such mounts are internally referred
to as "tucked". The patch series exposes the ability to mount beneath a
top mount through the new MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH flag for the move_mount()
system call. This allows userspace to seamlessly upgrade mounts. After
this series the only thing that will have changed is that mounting
beneath an existing mount can be done explicitly instead of just
implicitly.

Today, there are two scenarios where a mount can be mounted beneath an
existing mount instead of on top of it:

(1) When a service or container is started in a new mount namespace and
    pivot_root()s into its new rootfs. The way this is done is by
    mounting the new rootfs beneath the old rootfs:

            fd_newroot = open("/var/lib/machines/fedora", ...);
            fd_oldroot = open("/", ...);
            fchdir(fd_newroot);
            pivot_root(".", ".");

    After the pivot_root(".", ".") call the new rootfs is mounted
    beneath the old rootfs which can then be unmounted to reveal the
    underlying mount:

            fchdir(fd_oldroot);
            umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);

    Since pivot_root() moves the caller into a new rootfs no mounts must
    be propagated out of the new rootfs as a consequence of the
    pivot_root() call. Thus, the mounts cannot be shared.

(2) When a mount is propagated to a mount that already has another mount
    mounted on the same dentry.

    The easiest example for this is to create a new mount namespace. The
    following commands will create a mount namespace where the rootfs
    mount / will be a slave to the peer group of the host rootfs /
    mount's peer group. IOW, it will receive propagation from the host:

            mount --make-shared /
            unshare --mount --propagation=slave

    Now a new mount on the /mnt dentry in that mount namespace is
    created. (As it can be confusing it should be spelled out that the
    tmpfs mount on the /mnt dentry that was just created doesn't
    propagate back to the host because the rootfs mount / of the mount
    namespace isn't a peer of the host rootfs.):

            mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt

            TARGET  SOURCE  FSTYPE  PROPAGATION
            └─/mnt  tmpfs   tmpfs

    Now another terminal in the host mount namespace can observe that
    the mount indeed hasn't propagated back to into the host mount
    namespace. A new mount can now be created on top of the /mnt dentry
    with the rootfs mount / as its parent:

            mount --bind /opt /mnt

            TARGET  SOURCE           FSTYPE  PROPAGATION
            └─/mnt  /dev/sda2[/opt]  ext4    shared:1

    The mount namespace that was created earlier can now observe that
    the bind mount created on the host has propagated into it:

            TARGET    SOURCE           FSTYPE  PROPAGATION
            └─/mnt    /dev/sda2[/opt]  ext4    master:1
              └─/mnt  tmpfs            tmpfs

    But instead of having been mounted on top of the tmpfs mount at the
    /mnt dentry the /opt mount has been mounted on top of the rootfs
    mount at the /mnt dentry. And the tmpfs mount has been remounted on
    top of the propagated /opt mount at the /opt dentry. So in other
    words, the propagated mount has been mounted beneath the preexisting
    mount in that mount namespace.

    Mount namespaces make this easy to illustrate but it's also easy to
    mount beneath an existing mount in the same mount namespace
    (The following example assumes a shared rootfs mount / with peer
     group id 1):

            mount --bind /opt /opt

            TARGET   SOURCE          FSTYPE  MNT_ID  PARENT_ID  PROPAGATION
            └─/opt  /dev/sda2[/opt]  ext4    188     29         shared:1

    If another mount is mounted on top of the /opt mount at the /opt
    dentry:

            mount --bind /tmp /opt

    The following clunky mount tree will result:

            TARGET      SOURCE           FSTYPE  MNT_ID  PARENT_ID  PROPAGATION
            └─/opt      /dev/sda2[/tmp]  ext4    405      29        shared:1
              └─/opt    /dev/sda2[/opt]  ext4    188     405        shared:1
                └─/opt  /dev/sda2[/tmp]  ext4    404     188        shared:1

    The /tmp mount is mounted beneath the /opt mount and another copy is
    mounted on top of the /opt mount. This happens because the rootfs /
    and the /opt mount are shared mounts in the same peer group.

    When the new /tmp mount is supposed to be mounted at the /opt dentry
    then the /tmp mount first propagates to the root mount at the /opt
    dentry. But there already is the /opt mount mounted at the /opt
    dentry. So the old /opt mount at the /opt dentry will be mounted on
    top of the new /tmp mount at the /tmp dentry, i.e. @opt->mnt_parent
    is @tmp and @opt->mnt_mountpoint is /tmp (Note that @opt->mnt_root
    is /opt which is what shows up as /opt under SOURCE). So again, a
    mount will be mounted beneath a preexisting mount.

    (Fwiw, a few iterations of mount --bind /opt /opt in a loop on a
     shared rootfs is a good example of what could be referred to as
     mount explosion.)

The main point is that such mounts allows userspace to umount a top
mount and reveal an underlying mount. So for example, umounting the
tmpfs mount on /mnt that was created in example (1) using mount
namespaces reveals the /opt mount which was mounted beneath it.

In (2) where a mount was mounted beneath the top mount in the same mount
namespace unmounting the top mount would unmount both the top mount and
the mount beneath. In the process the original mount would be remounted
on top of the rootfs mount / at the /opt dentry again.

This again, is a result of mount propagation only this time it's umount
propagation. However, this can be avoided by simply making the parent
mount / of the @opt mount a private or slave mount. Then the top mount
and the original mount can be unmounted to reveal the mount beneath.

These two examples are fairly arcane and are merely added to make it
clear how mount propagation has effects on current and future features.

More common use-cases will just be things like:

        mount -t btrfs /dev/sdA /mnt
        mount -t xfs   /dev/sdB --beneath /mnt
        umount /mnt

after which we'll have updated from a btrfs filesystem to a xfs
filesystem without ever revealing the underlying mountpoint.

The crux is that the proposed mechanism already exists and that it is so
powerful as to cover cases where mounts are supposed to be updated with
new versions. Crucially, it offers an important flexibility. Namely that
updates to a system may either be forced or can be delayed and the
umount of the top mount be left to a service if it is a cooperative one.

This adds a new flag to move_mount() that allows to explicitly move a
beneath the top mount adhering to the following semantics:

* Mounts cannot be mounted beneath the rootfs. This restriction
  encompasses the rootfs but also chroots via chroot() and pivot_root().
  To mount a mount beneath the rootfs or a chroot, pivot_root() can be
  used as illustrated above.
* The source mount must be a private mount to force the kernel to
  allocate a new, unused peer group id. This isn't a required
  restriction but a voluntary one. It avoids repeating a semantical
  quirk that already exists today. If bind mounts which already have a
  peer group id are inserted into mount trees that have the same peer
  group id this can cause a lot of mount propagation events to be
  generated (For example, consider running mount --bind /opt /opt in a
  loop where the parent mount is a shared mount.).
* Avoid getting rid of the top mount in the kernel. Cooperative services
  need to be able to unmount the top mount themselves.
  This also avoids a good deal of additional complexity. The umount
  would have to be propagated which would be another rather expensive
  operation. So namespace_lock() and lock_mount_hash() would potentially
  have to be held for a long time for both a mount and umount
  propagation. That should be avoided.
* The path to mount beneath must be mounted and attached.
* The top mount and its parent must be in the caller's mount namespace
  and the caller must be able to mount in that mount namespace.
* The caller must be able to unmount the top mount to prove that they
  could reveal the underlying mount.
* The propagation tree is calculated based on the destination mount's
  parent mount and the destination mount's mountpoint on the parent
  mount. Of course, if the parent of the destination mount and the
  destination mount are shared mounts in the same peer group and the
  mountpoint of the new mount to be mounted is a subdir of their
  ->mnt_root then both will receive a mount of /opt. That's probably
  easier to understand with an example. Assuming a standard shared
  rootfs /:

          mount --bind /opt /opt
          mount --bind /tmp /opt

  will cause the same mount tree as:

          mount --bind /opt /opt
          mount --beneath /tmp /opt

  because both / and /opt are shared mounts/peers in the same peer
  group and the /opt dentry is a subdirectory of both the parent's and
  the child's ->mnt_root. If a mount tree like that is created it almost
  always is an accident or abuse of mount propagation. Realistically
  what most people probably mean in this scenarios is:

          mount --bind /opt /opt
          mount --make-private /opt
          mount --make-shared /opt

  This forces the allocation of a new separate peer group for the /opt
  mount. Aferwards a mount --bind or mount --beneath actually makes
  sense as the / and /opt mount belong to different peer groups. Before
  that it's likely just confusion about what the user wanted to achieve.
* Refuse MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH if:
  (1) the @mnt_from has been overmounted in between path resolution and
      acquiring @namespace_sem when locking @mnt_to. This avoids the
      proliferation of shadow mounts.
  (2) if @to_mnt is moved to a different mountpoint while acquiring
      @namespace_sem to lock @to_mnt.
  (3) if @to_mnt is unmounted while acquiring @namespace_sem to lock
      @to_mnt.
  (4) if the parent of the target mount propagates to the target mount
      at the same mountpoint.
      This would mean mounting @mnt_from on @mnt_to->mnt_parent and then
      propagating a copy @c of @mnt_from onto @mnt_to. This defeats the
      whole purpose of mounting @mnt_from beneath @mnt_to.
  (5) if the parent mount @mnt_to->mnt_parent propagates to @mnt_from at
      the same mountpoint.
      If @mnt_to->mnt_parent propagates to @mnt_from this would mean
      propagating a copy @c of @mnt_from on top of @mnt_from. Afterwards
      @mnt_from would be mounted on top of @mnt_to->mnt_parent and
      @mnt_to would be unmounted from @mnt->mnt_parent and remounted on
      @mnt_from. But since @c is already mounted on @mnt_from, @mnt_to
      would ultimately be remounted on top of @c. Afterwards, @mnt_from
      would be covered by a copy @c of @mnt_from and @c would be covered
      by @mnt_from itself. This defeats the whole purpose of mounting
      @mnt_from beneath @mnt_to.
  Cases (1) to (3) are required as they deal with races that would cause
  bugs or unexpected behavior for users. Cases (4) and (5) refuse
  semantical quirks that would not be a bug but would cause weird mount
  trees to be created. While they can already be created via other means
  (mount --bind /opt /opt x n) there's no reason to repeat past mistakes
  in new features.

fs: use a for loop when locking a mount
Currently, lock_mount() uses a goto to retry the lookup until it
succeeded in acquiring the namespace_lock() preventing the top mount
from being overmounted. While that's perfectly fine we want to lookup
the mountpoint on the parent of the top mount in later patches. So adapt
the code to make this easier to implement. Also, the for loop is
arguably a little cleaner and makes the code easier to follow. No
functional changes intended.

fs: properly document __lookup_mnt()
The comment on top of __lookup_mnt() states that it finds the first
mount implying that there could be multiple mounts mounted at the same
dentry with the same parent.

On older kernels "shadow mounts" could be created during mount
propagation. So if a mount @m in the destination propagation tree
already had a child mount @p mounted at @mp then any mount @n we
propagated to @m at the same @mp would be appended after the preexisting
mount @p in @mount_hashtable. This was a completely direct way of
creating shadow mounts.

That direct way is gone but there are still subtle ways to create shadow
mounts. For example, when attaching a source mnt @mnt to a shared mount.
The root of the source mnt @mnt might be overmounted by a mount @o after
we finished path lookup but before we acquired the namespace semaphore
to copy the source mount tree @mnt.

After we acquired the namespace lock @mnt is copied including @o
covering it. After we attach @mnt to a shared mount @dest_mnt we end up
propagation it to all it's peer and slaves @d. If @d already has a mount
@n mounted on top of it we tuck @mnt beneath @n. This means, we mount
@mnt at @d and mount @n on @mnt. Now we have both @o and @n mounted on
the same mountpoint at @mnt.

Explain this in the documentation as this is pretty subtle.

 "This contains a pile of various smaller fixes. Most of them aren't
  very interesting so this just highlights things worth mentioning:

   - Various filesystems contained the same little helper to convert
     from the mode of a dentry to the DT_* type of that dentry.

     They have now all been switched to rely on the generic
     fs_umode_to_dtype() helper. All custom helpers are removed (Jeff)

   - Fsnotify now reports ACCESS and MODIFY events for splice
     (Chung-Chiang Cheng)

   - After converting timerfd a long time ago to rely on
     wait_event_interruptible_*() apis, convert eventfd as well. This
     removes the complex open-coded wait code (Wen Yang)

   - Simplify sysctl registration for devpts, avoiding the declaration
     of two tables. Instead, just use a prefixed path with
     register_sysctl() (Luis)

   - The setattr_should_drop_sgid() helper is now exported so NFS can
