Keep void * instead, allocate on demand (in parse_str_opts, at the moment). Eventually both selinux and smack will be better off with private structures with several strings in those, rather than this "counter and two pointers to dynamically allocated arrays" ugliness. This commit allows to do that at leisure, without disrupting anything outside of given module. Changes: * instead of struct security_mnt_opt use an opaque pointer initialized to NULL. * security_sb_eat_lsm_opts(), security_sb_parse_opts_str() and security_free_mnt_opts() take it as var argument (i.e. as void **); call sites are unchanged. * security_sb_set_mnt_opts() and security_sb_remount() take it by value (i.e. as void *). * new method: ->sb_free_mnt_opts(). Takes void *, does whatever freeing that needs to be done. * ->sb_set_mnt_opts() and ->sb_remount() might get NULL as mnt_opts argument, meaning "empty".

Kill ->sb_copy_data() - it's used only in combination with immediately following ->sb_parse_opts_str(). Turn that combination into a new method.

* if mount(2) passes something like "context=foo" with MS_REMOUNT in flags (/sbin/mount.nfs will _not_ do that - you need to issue the syscall manually), you'll get leaked copies for LSM options. The reason is that instead of nfs_{alloc,free}_parsed_mount_data() nfs_remount() uses kzalloc/kfree, which lacks the needed cleanup. * selinux options are not changed on remount (as for any other fs), but in case of NFS the failure is quiet - they are not compared to what we used to have, with complaint in case of attempted changes. Trivially fixed by converting to use of security_sb_remount(). Reviewed-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

1) keeping a copy in btrfs_fs_info is completely pointless - we never use it for anything. Getting rid of that allows for simpler calling conventions for setup_security_options() (caller is responsible for freeing mnt_opts in all cases). 2) on remount we want to use ->sb_remount(), not ->sb_set_mnt_opts(), same as we would if not for FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA. Behaviours *are* close (in fact, selinux sb_set_mnt_opts() ought to punt to sb_remount() in "already initialized" case), but let's handle that uniformly. And the only reason why the original btrfs changes didn't go for security_sb_remount() in btrfs_remount() case is that it hadn't been exported. Let's export it for a while - it'll be going away soon anyway. Reviewed-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

David Howells authored
Separate just the changing of mount flags (MS_REMOUNT|MS_BIND) from full remount because the mount data will get parsed with the new fs_context stuff prior to doing a remount - and this causes the syscall to fail under some circumstances. To quote Eric's explanation: [...] mount(..., MS_REMOUNT|MS_BIND, ...) now validates the mount options string, which breaks systemd unit files with ProtectControlGroups=yes (e.g. systemd-networkd.service) when systemd does the following to change a cgroup (v1) mount to read-only: mount(NULL, "/run/systemd/unit-root/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd", NULL, MS_RDONLY|MS_NOSUID|MS_NODEV|MS_NOEXEC|MS_REMOUNT|MS_BIND, NULL) ... when the kernel has CONFIG_CGROUPS=y but no cgroup subsystems enabled, since in that case the error "cgroup1: Need name or subsystem set" is hit when the mount options string is empty. Probably it doesn't make sense to validate the mount options string at all in the MS_REMOUNT|MS_BIND case, though maybe you had something else in mind. This is also worthwhile doing because we will need to add a mount_setattr() syscall to take over the remount-bind function.

THP allocation mode is quite complex and it depends on the defrag mode. This complexity is hidden in alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask from a large part currently. The NUMA special casing (namely __GFP_THISNODE) is however independent and placed in alloc_pages_vma currently. This both adds an unnecessary branch to all vma based page allocation requests and it makes the code more complex unnecessarily as well. Not to mention that e.g. shmem THP used to do the node reclaiming unconditionally regardless of the defrag mode until recently. This was not only unexpected behavior but it was also hardly a good default behavior and I strongly suspect it was just a side effect of the code sharing more than a deliberate decision which suggests that such a layering is wrong. Get rid of the thp special casing from alloc_pages_vma and move the logic to alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask. __GFP_THISNODE is applied to the resulting gfp mask only when the direct reclaim is not requested and when there is no explicit numa binding to preserve the current logic. Please note that there's also a slight difference wrt MPOL_BIND now. The previous code would avoid using __GFP_THISNODE if the local node was outside of policy_nodemask(). After this patch __GFP_THISNODE is avoided for all MPOL_BIND policies. So there's a difference that if local node is actually allowed by the bind policy's nodemask, previously __GFP_THISNODE would be added, but now it won't be. From the behavior POV this is still correct because the policy nodemask is used.
