PROT_EXEC seems to be completely unnecessary (as the lguest binary never executes there), and will allow it to work with SELinux (and more importantly, PaX :-) as they can/do forbid writable and executable mappings. Also, map PROT_NONE guard pages at start and end of guest memory for extra paranoia. I changed the length check to addr + size > guest_limit because >= is wrong (addr of 0, size of getpagesize() with a guest_limit of getpagesize() would false positive).

On PARISC, we have an include of linux/mm.h inside our asm/pgtable.h, so this patch commit 14fd403f Author: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Date: Thu Jan 13 15:46:37 2011 -0800 thp: export maybe_mkwrite causes us an unsatisfiable use of pte_mkwrite in linux/mm.h. The fix is to avoid including linux/mm.h in our pgtable.h, which unbreaks the build. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

pmdp_get_and_clear/pmdp_clear_flush/pmdp_splitting_flush were trapped as BUG() and they were defined only to diminish the risk of build issues on not-x86 archs and to be consistent with the generic pte methods previously defined in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h. But they are causing more trouble than they were supposed to solve, so it's simpler not to define them when THP is off. This is also correcting the export of pmdp_splitting_flush which is currently unused (x86 isn't using the generic implementation in mm/pgtable-generic.c and no other arch needs that [yet]).

Commit 415e12b2 ("PCI/ACPI: Request _OSC control once for each root bridge (v3)") put the acpi_hest_init() call in acpi_pci_root_init() into a wrong place, presumably because the author confused acpi_pci_disabled with acpi_disabled. Bring the code ordering in acpi_pci_root_init() back to sanity. Additionally, make sure that hest_disable is set when acpi_disabled is set, which is going to prevent acpi_hest_parse(), that still may be executed for acpi_disabled=1 through aer_acpi_firmware_first(), from crashing because of uninitialized hest_tab.

Instead of splitting refcount between (per-cpu) mnt_count and (SMP-only) mnt_longrefs, make all references contribute to mnt_count again and keep track of how many are longterm ones. Accounting rules for longterm count: * 1 for each fs_struct.root.mnt * 1 for each fs_struct.pwd.mnt * 1 for having non-NULL ->mnt_ns * decrement to 0 happens only under vfsmount lock exclusive That allows nice common case for mntput() - since we can't drop the final reference until after mnt_longterm has reached 0 due to the rules above, mntput() can grab vfsmount lock shared and check mnt_longterm. If it turns out to be non-zero (which is the common case), we know that this is not the final mntput() and can just blindly decrement percpu mnt_count. Otherwise we grab vfsmount lock exclusive and do usual decrement-and-check of percpu mnt_count. For fs_struct.c we have mnt_make_longterm() and mnt_make_shortterm(); namespace.c uses the latter in places where we don't already hold vfsmount lock exclusive and opencodes a few remaining spots where we need to manipulate mnt_longterm. Note that we mostly revert the code outside of fs/namespace.c back to what we used to have; in particular, normal code doesn't need to care about two kinds of references, etc. And we get to keep the optimization Nick's variant had bought us...

Expiry-related code calls umount_tree() several times with the same list to collect vfsmounts to. Which is fine, except that umount_tree() implicitly assumed that the list would be empty on each call - it moves the victims over there and then iterates through the list kicking them out. It's *almost* idempotent, so everything nearly worked. However, mnt->ghosts handling (and thus expirability checks) had been broken - that part was not idempotent... The fix is trivial - use local temporary list, splice it to the the collector list when we are through. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Unexport do_add_mount() and make ->d_automount() return the vfsmount to be added rather than calling do_add_mount() itself. follow_automount() will then do the addition. This slightly complicates things as ->d_automount() normally wants to add the new vfsmount to an expiration list and start an expiration timer. The problem with that is that the vfsmount will be deleted if it has a refcount of 1 and the timer will not repeat if the expiration list is empty. To this end, we require the vfsmount to be returned from d_automount() with a refcount of (at least) 2. One of these refs will be dropped unconditionally. In addition, follow_automount() must get a 3rd ref around the call to do_add_mount() lest it eat a ref and return an error, leaving the mount we have open to being expired as we would otherwise have only 1 ref on it. d_automount() should also add the the vfsmount to the expiration list (by calling mnt_set_expiry()) and start the expiration timer before returning, if this mechanism is to be used. The vfsmount will be unlinked from the expiration list by follow_automount() if do_add_mount() fails. This patch also fixes the call to do_add_mount() for AFS to propagate the mount flags from the parent vfsmount.

Allow d_manage() to be called from pathwalk when it is in RCU-walk mode as well as when it is in Ref-walk mode. This permits __follow_mount_rcu() to call d_manage() directly. d_manage() needs a parameter to indicate that it is in RCU-walk mode as it isn't allowed to sleep if in that mode (but should return -ECHILD instead). autofs4_d_manage() can then be set to retain RCU-walk mode if the daemon accesses it and otherwise request dropping back to ref-walk mode.

This patch required a previous patch to add the ->d_automount() dentry operation. Add a function to use the newly defined ->d_manage() dentry operation for blocking during mount and expire. Whether the VFS calls the dentry operations d_automount() and d_manage() is controled by the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT and DMANAGED_TRANSIT flags. autofs uses the d_automount() operation to callback to user space to request mount operations and the d_manage() operation to block walks into mounts that are under construction or destruction. In order to prevent these functions from being called unnecessarily the DMANAGED_* flags are cleared for cases which would cause this. In the common case the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT and DMANAGED_TRANSIT flags are both set for dentrys waiting to be mounted. The DMANAGED_TRANSIT flag is cleared upon successful mount request completion and set during expire runs, both during the dentry expire check, and if selected for expire, is left set until a subsequent successful mount request completes. The exception to this is the so-called rootless multi-mount which has no actual mount at its base. In this case the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT flag is cleared upon successful mount request completion as well and set again after a successful expire.

Add a dentry op (d_manage) to permit a filesystem to hold a process and make it sleep when it tries to transit away from one of that filesystem's directories during a pathwalk. The operation is keyed off a new dentry flag (DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT). The filesystem is allowed to be selective about which processes it holds and which it permits to continue on or prohibits from transiting from each flagged directory. This will allow autofs to hold up client processes whilst letting its userspace daemon through to maintain the directory or the stuff behind it or mounted upon it. The ->d_manage() dentry operation: int (*d_manage)(struct path *path, bool mounting_here); takes a pointer to the directory about to be transited away from and a flag indicating whether the transit is undertaken by do_add_mount() or do_move_mount() skipping through a pile of filesystems mounted on a mountpoint. It should return 0 if successful and to let the process continue on its way; -EISDIR to prohibit the caller from skipping to overmounted filesystems or automounting, and to use this directory; or some other error code to return to the user. ->d_manage() is called with namespace_sem writelocked if mounting_here is true and no other locks held, so it may sleep. However, if mounting_here is true, it may not initiate or wait for a mount or unmount upon the parameter directory, even if the act is actually performed by userspace. Within fs/namei.c, follow_managed() is extended to check with d_manage() first on each managed directory, before transiting away from it or attempting to automount upon it. follow_down() is renamed follow_down_one() and should only be used where the filesystem deliberately intends to avoid management steps (e.g. autofs). A new follow_down() is added that incorporates the loop done by all other callers of follow_down() (do_add/move_mount(), autofs and NFSD; whilst AFS, NFS and CIFS do use it, their use is removed by converting them to use d_automount()). The new follow_down() calls d_manage() as appropriate. It also takes an extra parameter to indicate if it is being called from mount code (with namespace_sem writelocked) which it passes to d_manage(). follow_down() ignores automount points so that it can be used to mount on them. __follow_mount_rcu() is made to abort rcu-walk mode if it hits a directory with DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT set on the basis that we're probably going to have to sleep. It would be possible to enter d_manage() in rcu-walk mode too, and have that determine whether to abort or not itself. That would allow the autofs daemon to continue on in rcu-walk mode. Note that DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT on a directory should be cleared when it isn't required as every tranist from that directory will cause d_manage() to be invoked. It can always be set again when necessary. ========================== WHAT THIS MEANS FOR AUTOFS ========================== Autofs currently uses the lookup() inode op and the d_revalidate() dentry op to trigger the automounting of indirect mounts, and both of these can be called with i_mutex held. autofs knows that the i_mutex will be held by the caller in lookup(), and so can drop it before invoking the daemon - but this isn't so for d_revalidate(), since the lock is only held on _some_ of the code paths that call it. This means that autofs can't risk dropping i_mutex from its d_revalidate() function before it calls the daemon. The bug could manifest itself as, for example, a process that's trying to validate an automount dentry that gets made to wait because that dentry is expired and needs cleaning up: mkdir S ffffffff8014e05a 0 32580 24956 Call Trace: [<ffffffff885371fd>] :autofs4:autofs4_wait+0x674/0x897 [<ffffffff80127f7d>] avc_has_perm+0x46/0x58 [<ffffffff8009fdcf>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e [<ffffffff88537be6>] :autofs4:autofs4_expire_wait+0x41/0x6b [<ffffffff88535cfc>] :autofs4:autofs4_revalidate+0x91/0x149 [<ffffffff80036d96>] __lookup_hash+0xa0/0x12f [<ffffffff80057a2f>] lookup_create+0x46/0x80 [<ffffffff800e6e31>] sys_mkdirat+0x56/0xe4 versus the automount daemon which wants to remove that dentry, but can't because the normal process is holding the i_mutex lock: automount D ffffffff8014e05a 0 32581 1 32561 Call Trace: [<ffffffff80063c3f>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x60/0x9b [<ffffffff8000ccf1>] do_path_lookup+0x2ca/0x2f1 [<ffffffff80063c89>] .text.lock.mutex+0xf/0x14 [<ffffffff800e6d55>] do_rmdir+0x77/0xde [<ffffffff8005d229>] tracesys+0x71/0xe0 [<ffffffff8005d28d>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0 which means that the system is deadlocked. This patch allows autofs to hold up normal processes whilst the daemon goes ahead and does things to the dentry tree behind the automouter point without risking a deadlock as almost no locks are held in d_manage() and none in d_automount().

Add a dentry op (d_automount) to handle automounting directories rather than abusing the follow_link() inode operation. The operation is keyed off a new dentry flag (DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT). This also makes it easier to add an AT_ flag to suppress terminal segment automount during pathwalk and removes the need for the kludge code in the pathwalk algorithm to handle directories with follow_link() semantics. The ->d_automount() dentry operation: struct vfsmount *(*d_automount)(struct path *mountpoint); takes a pointer to the directory to be mounted upon, which is expected to provide sufficient data to determine what should be mounted. If successful, it should return the vfsmount struct it creates (which it should also have added to the namespace using do_add_mount() or similar). If there's a collision with another automount attempt, NULL should be returned. If the directory specified by the parameter should be used directly rather than being mounted upon, -EISDIR should be returned. In any other case, an error code should be returned. The ->d_automount() operation is called with no locks held and may sleep. At this point the pathwalk algorithm will be in ref-walk mode. Within fs/namei.c itself, a new pathwalk subroutine (follow_automount()) is added to handle mountpoints. It will return -EREMOTE if the automount flag was set, but no d_automount() op was supplied, -ELOOP if we've encountered too many symlinks or mountpoints, -EISDIR if the walk point should be used without mounting and 0 if successful. The path will be updated to point to the mounted filesystem if a successful automount took place. __follow_mount() is replaced by follow_managed() which is more generic (especially with the patch that adds ->d_manage()). This handles transits from directories during pathwalk, including automounting and skipping over mountpoints (and holding processes with the next patch). __follow_mount_rcu() will jump out of RCU-walk mode if it encounters an automount point with nothing mounted on it. follow_dotdot*() does not handle automounts as you don't want to trigger them whilst following "..". I've also extracted the mount/don't-mount logic from autofs4 and included it here. It makes the mount go ahead anyway if someone calls open() or creat(), tries to traverse the directory, tries to chdir/chroot/etc. into the directory, or sticks a '/' on the end of the pathname. If they do a stat(), however, they'll only trigger the automount if they didn't also say O_NOFOLLOW. I've also added an inode flag (S_AUTOMOUNT) so that filesystems can mark their inodes as automount points. This flag is automatically propagated to the dentry as DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT by __d_instantiate(). This saves NFS and could save AFS a private flag bit apiece, but is not strictly necessary. It would be preferable to do the propagation in d_set_d_op(), but that doesn't normally have access to the inode. [AV: fixed breakage in case if __follow_mount_rcu() fails and nameidata_drop_rcu() succeeds in RCU case of do_lookup(); we need to fall through to non-RCU case after that, rather than just returning with ungrabbed *path] Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Was-Acked-by: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
