Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
- Fix an uninitialized variable in file_getattr().
The flags_valid field wasn't initialized before calling
vfs_fileattr_get(), triggering KMSAN uninit-value reports in fuse
- Fix writeback wakeup and logging timeouts when DETECT_HUNG_TASK is
not enabled.
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs is 0 in that case causing spurious
"waiting for writeback completion for more than 1 seconds" warnings
- Fix a null-ptr-deref in do_statmount() when the mount is internal
- Add missing kernel-doc description for the @private parameter in
iomap_readahead()
- Fix mount namespace creation to hold namespace_sem across the mount
copy in create_new_namespace().
The previous drop-and-reacquire pattern was fragile and failed to
clean up mount propagation links if the real rootfs was a shared or
dependent mount
- Fix /proc mount iteration where m->index wasn't updated when
m->show() overflows, causing a restart to repeatedly show the same
mount entry in a rapidly expanding mount table
- Return EFSCORRUPTED instead of ENOSPC in minix_new_inode() when the
inode number is out of range
- Fix unshare(2) when CLONE_NEWNS is set and current->fs isn't shared.
copy_mnt_ns() received the live fs_struct so if a subsequent
namespace creation failed the rollback would leave pwd and root
pointing to detached mounts. Always allocate a new fs_struct when
CLONE_NEWNS is requested
- fserror bug fixes:
- Remove the unused fsnotify_sb_error() helper now that all callers
have been converted to fserror_report_metadata
- Fix a lockdep splat in fserror_report() where igrab() takes
inode::i_lock which can be held in IRQ context.
Replace igrab() with a direct i_count bump since filesystems
should not report inodes that are about to be freed or not yet
exposed
- Handle error pointer in procfs for try_lookup_noperm()
- Fix an integer overflow in ep_loop_check_proc() where recursive calls
returning INT_MAX would overflow when +1 is added, breaking the
recursion depth check
- Fix a misleading break in pidfs

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

The m->index isn't updated when m->show() overflows and retains its
value before the current mount causing a restart to start at the same
value. If that happens in short order to due a quickly expanding mount
table this would cause the same mount to be shown again and again.
Ensure that *pos always equals the mount id of the mount that was
returned by start/next. On restart after overflow mnt_find_id_at(*pos)
finds the exact mount. This should avoid duplicates, avoid skips and
should handle concurrent modification just fine.

Fix an oversight when creating a new mount namespace. If someone had the
bright idea to make the real rootfs a shared or dependent mount and it
is later copied the copy will become a peer of the old real rootfs mount
or a dependent mount of it. The namespace semaphore is dropped and we
use mount lock exact to lock the new real root mount. If that fails or
the subsequent do_loopback() fails we rely on the copy of the real root
mount to be cleaned up by path_put(). The problem is that this doesn't
deal with mount propagation and will leave the mounts linked in the
propagation lists.
When creating a new mount namespace create_new_namespace() first
acquires namespace_sem to clone the nullfs root, drops it, then
reacquires it via LOCK_MOUNT_EXACT which takes inode_lock first to
respect the inode_lock -> namespace_sem lock ordering. This
drop-and-reacquire pattern is fragile and was the source of the
propagation cleanup bug fixed in the preceding commit.
Extend lock_mount_exact() with a copy_mount mode that clones the mount
under the locks atomically. When copy_mount is true, path_overmounted()
is skipped since we're copying the mount, not mounting on top of it -
the nullfs root always has rootfs mounted on top so the check would
always fail. If clone_mnt() fails after get_mountpoint() has pinned the
mountpoint, __unlock_mount() is used to properly unpin the mountpoint
and release both locks.
This allows create_new_namespace() to use LOCK_MOUNT_EXACT_COPY which
takes inode_lock and namespace_sem once and holds them throughout the
clone and subsequent mount operations, eliminating the
drop-and-reacquire pattern entirely.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a mix of VFS cleanups, performance improvements, API
fixes, documentation, and a deprecation notice.
Scalability and performance:
- Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of
twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown
throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck. Pad the
namespace refcount to reduce false-sharing
- Track file lock presence via a flag in ->i_opflags instead of
reading ->i_flctx, avoiding false-sharing with ->i_readcount on
open/close hot paths. Measured 4-16% improvement on 24-core
open-in-a-loop benchmarks
- Use a consume fence in locks_inode_context() to match the
store-release/load-consume idiom, eliminating a hardware fence on
some architectures
- Annotate cdev_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp to prevent
false-sharing
- Remove a redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in
__follow_mount_rcu() that never fires since the caller already
verifies it, eliminating a 100% mispredicted branch
- Fix a 100% mispredicted likely() in devcgroup_inode_permission()
that became wrong after a prior code reorder
Bug fixes and correctness:
- Make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction instead of
skipping, fixing a corner case where two matching inodes could
exist in the hash
- Move f_mode initialization before file_ref_init() in alloc_file()
to respect the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU ordering contract
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard in try_to_free_buffers() for folios with
no buffers attached, preventing a null pointer dereference when
AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set but no release_folio op exists
- Fix select restart_block to store end_time as timespec64, avoiding
truncation of tv_sec on 32-bit architectures
- Make dump_inode() use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode
and superblock fields, matching the dump_mapping() pattern
API modernization:
- Make posix_acl_to_xattr() allocate the buffer internally since
every single caller was doing it anyway. Reduces boilerplate and
unnecessary error checking across ~15 filesystems
- Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() for the
ihash_entries, dhash_entries, mhash_entries, and mphash_entries
boot parameters, adding proper error handling
- Convert chardev code to use guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) cleanup
patterns
- Replace min_t() with min() or umin() in VFS code to avoid silently
truncating unsigned long to unsigned int
- Gate LOOKUP_RCU assertions behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS since callers
already check the flag
Deprecation:
- Begin deprecating legacy BSD process accounting (acct(2)). The
interface has numerous footguns and better alternatives exist
(eBPF)
Documentation:
- Fix and complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations, removing
duplicated documentation between ReST and source
- Fix kernel-doc warnings for __start_dirop() and ilookup5_nowait()
Testing:
- Add a kunit test for initramfs cpio handling of entries with
filesize > PATH_MAX
Misc:
- Add missing <linux/init_task.h> include in fs_struct.c"

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- statmount: accept fd as a parameter
Extend struct mnt_id_req with a file descriptor field and a new
STATMOUNT_BY_FD flag. When set, statmount() returns mount information
for the mount the fd resides on — including detached mounts
(unmounted via umount2(MNT_DETACH)).
For detached mounts the STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT and STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID
mask bits are cleared since neither is meaningful. The capability
check is skipped for STATMOUNT_BY_FD since holding an fd already
implies prior access to the mount and equivalent information is
available through fstatfs() and /proc/pid/mountinfo without
privilege. Includes comprehensive selftests covering both attached
and detached mount cases.
- fs: Remove internal old mount API code (1 patch)
Now that every in-tree filesystem has been converted to the new
mount API, remove all the legacy shim code in fs_context.c that
handled unconverted filesystems. This deletes ~280 lines including
legacy_init_fs_context(), the legacy_fs_context struct, and
associated wrappers. The mount(2) syscall path for userspace remains
untouched. Documentation references to the legacy callbacks are
cleaned up.
- mount: add OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to open_tree()
Container runtimes currently use CLONE_NEWNS to copy the caller's
entire mount namespace — only to then pivot_root() and recursively
unmount everything they just copied. With large mount tables and
thousands of parallel container launches this creates significant
contention on the namespace semaphore.
OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE copies only the specified mount tree (like
OPEN_TREE_CLONE) but returns a mount namespace fd instead of a
detached mount fd. The new namespace contains the copied tree mounted
on top of a clone of the real rootfs.
This functions as a combined unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) + pivot_root() in a
single syscall. Works with user namespaces: an unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER)
followed by OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE creates a mount namespace owned by
the new user namespace. Mount namespace file mounts are excluded from
the copy to prevent cycles. Includes ~1000 lines of selftests"
* tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.namespace' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
selftests/open_tree: add OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE tests
mount: add OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE
fs: Remove internal old mount API code
selftests: statmount: tests for STATMOUNT_BY_FD
statmount: accept fd as a parameter

When creating containers the setup usually involves using CLONE_NEWNS
via clone3() or unshare(). This copies the caller's complete mount
namespace. The runtime will also assemble a new rootfs and then use
pivot_root() to switch the old mount tree with the new rootfs. Afterward
it will recursively umount the old mount tree thereby getting rid of all
mounts.
On a basic system here where the mount table isn't particularly large
this still copies about 30 mounts. Copying all of these mounts only to
get rid of them later is pretty wasteful.
This is exacerbated if intermediary mount namespaces are used that only
exist for a very short amount of time and are immediately destroyed
again causing a ton of mounts to be copied and destroyed needlessly.
With a large mount table and a system where thousands or ten-thousands
of containers are spawned in parallel this quickly becomes a bottleneck
increasing contention on the semaphore.
Extend open_tree() with a new OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE flag. Similar to
OPEN_TREE_CLONE only the indicated mount tree is copied. Instead of
returning a file descriptor referring to that mount tree
OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE will cause open_tree() to return a file descriptor
to a new mount namespace. In that new mount namespace the copied mount
tree has been mounted on top of a copy of the real rootfs.
The caller can setns() into that mount namespace and perform any
additionally required setup such as move_mount() detached mounts in
there.
This allows OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to function as a combined
unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) and pivot_root().
A caller may for example choose to create an extremely minimal rootfs:
fd_mntns = open_tree(-EBADF, "/var/lib/containers/wootwoot", OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE);
This will create a mount namespace where "wootwoot" has become the
rootfs mounted on top of the real rootfs. The caller can now setns()
into this new mount namespace and assemble additional mounts.
This also works with user namespaces:
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER);
fd_mntns = open_tree(-EBADF, "/var/lib/containers/wootwoot", OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE);
which creates a new mount namespace owned by the earlier created user
namespace with "wootwoot" as the rootfs mounted on top of the real
rootfs.

Remove the "nullfs_rootfs" boot parameter and simply always use nullfs.
The mutable rootfs will be mounted on top of it. Systems that don't use
pivot_root() to pivot away from the real rootfs will have an additional
mount stick around but that shouldn't be a problem at all. If it is
we'll rever this commit.
This also simplifies the boot process and removes the need for the
traditional switch_root workarounds.

Currently pivot_root() doesn't work on the real rootfs because it
cannot be unmounted. Userspace has to do a recursive removal of the
initramfs contents manually before continuing the boot.
Really all we want from the real rootfs is to serve as the parent mount
for anything that is actually useful such as the tmpfs or ramfs for
initramfs unpacking or the rootfs itself. There's no need for the real
rootfs to actually be anything meaningful or useful. Add a immutable
rootfs called "nullfs" that can be selected via the "nullfs_rootfs"
kernel command line option.
The kernel will mount a tmpfs/ramfs on top of it, unpack the initramfs
and fire up userspace which mounts the rootfs and can then just do:
chdir(rootfs);
pivot_root(".", ".");
umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);
and be done with it. (Ofc, userspace can also choose to retain the
initramfs contents by using something like pivot_root(".", "/initramfs")
without unmounting it.)
Technically this also means that the rootfs mount in unprivileged
namespaces doesn't need to become MNT_LOCKED anymore as it's guaranteed
that the immutable rootfs remains permanently empty so there cannot be
anything revealed by unmounting the covering mount.
In the future this will also allow us to create completely empty mount
namespaces without risking to leak anything.
systemd already handles this all correctly as it tries to pivot_root()
first and falls back to MS_MOVE only when that fails.
This goes back to various discussion in previous years and a LPC 2024
presentation about this very topic.

Extend `struct mnt_id_req` to take in a fd and introduce STATMOUNT_BY_FD
flag. When a valid fd is provided and STATMOUNT_BY_FD is set, statmount
will return mountinfo about the mount the fd is on.
This even works for "unmounted" mounts (mounts that have been umounted
using umount2(mnt, MNT_DETACH)), if you have access to a file descriptor
on that mount. These "umounted" mounts will have no mountpoint and no
valid mount namespace. Hence, we unset the STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT and
STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID in statmount.mask for "unmounted" mounts.
In case of STATMOUNT_BY_FD, given that we already have access to an fd
on the mount, accessing mount information without a capability check
seems fine because of the following reasons:
- All fs related information is available via fstatfs() without any
capability check.
- Mount information is also available via /proc/pid/mountinfo (without
any capability check).
- Given that we have access to a fd on the mount which tells us that we
had access to the mount at some point (or someone that had access gave
us the fd). So, we should be able to access mount info.

Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
cumbersome cleanup paths.
FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:
fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
if (fd < 0)
vfio_device_put_registration(device);
return fd;
FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
additional work before publishing:
FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file->file);
if (fdf.err) {
fput(sync_file->file);
return fdf.err;
}
data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &data, sizeof(data)))
return -EFAULT;
return fd_publish(fdf);
The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.
I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"

Pull autofs update from Christian Brauner:
"Prevent futile mount triggers in private mount namespaces.
Fix a problematic loop in autofs when a mount namespace contains
autofs mounts that are propagation private and there is no
namespace-specific automount daemon to handle possible automounting.
Previously, attempted path resolution would loop until MAXSYMLINKS was
reached before failing, causing significant noise in the log.
The fix adds a check in autofs ->d_automount() so that the VFS can
immediately return EPERM in this case. Since the mount is propagation
private, EPERM is the most appropriate error code"

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial namespace infrastructure changes including a new
system call, active reference counting, and extensive header cleanups.
The branch depends on the shared kbuild branch for -fms-extensions support.
Features:
- listns() system call
Add a new listns() system call that allows userspace to iterate
through namespaces in the system. This provides a programmatic
interface to discover and inspect namespaces, addressing
longstanding limitations:
Currently, there is no direct way for userspace to enumerate
namespaces. Applications must resort to scanning /proc/*/ns/ across
all processes, which is:
- Inefficient - requires iterating over all processes
- Incomplete - misses namespaces not attached to any running
process but kept alive by file descriptors, bind mounts, or
parent references
- Permission-heavy - requires access to /proc for many processes
- No ordering or ownership information
- No filtering per namespace type
The listns() system call solves these problems:
ssize_t listns(const struct ns_id_req *req, u64 *ns_ids,
size_t nr_ns_ids, unsigned int flags);
struct ns_id_req {
__u32 size;
__u32 spare;
__u64 ns_id;
struct /* listns */ {
__u32 ns_type;
__u32 spare2;
__u64 user_ns_id;
};
};
Features include:
- Pagination support for large namespace sets
- Filtering by namespace type (MNT_NS, NET_NS, USER_NS, etc.)
- Filtering by owning user namespace
- Permission checks respecting namespace isolation
- Active Reference Counting
Introduce an active reference count that tracks namespace
visibility to userspace. A namespace is visible in the following
cases:
- The namespace is in use by a task
- The namespace is persisted through a VFS object (namespace file
descriptor or bind-mount)
- The namespace is a hierarchical type and is the parent of child
namespaces
The active reference count does not regulate lifetime (that's still
done by the normal reference count) - it only regulates visibility
to namespace file handles and listns().
This prevents resurrection of namespaces that are pinned only for
internal kernel reasons (e.g., user namespaces held by
file->f_cred, lazy TLB references on idle CPUs, etc.) which should
not be accessible via (1)-(3).
- Unified Namespace Tree
Introduce a unified tree structure for all namespaces with:
- Fixed IDs assigned to initial namespaces
- Lookup based solely on inode number
- Maintained list of owned namespaces per user namespace
- Simplified rbtree comparison helpers
Cleanups
- Header Reorganization:
- Move namespace types into separate header (ns_common_types.h)
- Decouple nstree from ns_common header
- Move nstree types into separate header
- Switch to new ns_tree_{node,root} structures with helper functions
- Use guards for ns_tree_lock
- Initial Namespace Reference Count Optimization
- Make all reference counts on initial namespaces a nop to avoid
pointless cacheline ping-pong for namespaces that can never go
away
- Drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
- Add NS_COMMON_INIT() macro and use it for all namespaces
- pid: rely on common reference count behavior
- Miscellaneous Cleanups
- Rename exit_task_namespaces() to exit_nsproxy_namespaces()
- Rename is_initial_namespace() and make argument const
- Use boolean to indicate anonymous mount namespace
- Simplify owner list iteration in nstree
- nsfs: raise SB_I_NODEV, SB_I_NOEXEC, and DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- nsfs: use inode_just_drop()
- pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly
- pidfs: simplify PIDFD_GET__NAMESPACE ioctls
- libfs: allow to specify s_d_flags
- cgroup: add cgroup namespace to tree after owner is set
- nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify create_new_namespaces()
Fixes:
- setns(pidfd, ...) race condition
Fix a subtle race when using pidfds with setns(). When the target
task exits after prepare_nsset() but before commit_nsset(), the
namespace's active reference count might have been dropped. If
setns() then installs the namespaces, it would bump the active
reference count from zero without taking the required reference on
the owner namespace, leading to underflow when later decremented.
The fix resurrects the ownership chain if necessary - if the caller
succeeded in grabbing passive references, the setns() should
succeed even if the target task exits or gets reaped.
- Return EFAULT on put_user() error instead of success
- Make sure references are dropped outside of RCU lock (some
namespaces like mount namespace sleep when putting the last
reference)
- Don't skip active reference count initialization for network
namespace
- Add asserts for active refcount underflow
- Add asserts for initial namespace reference counts (both passive
and active)
- ipc: enable is_ns_init_id() assertions
- Fix kernel-doc comments for internal nstree functions
- Selftests
- 15 active reference count tests
- 9 listns() functionality tests
- 7 listns() permission tests
- 12 inactive namespace resurrection tests
- 3 threaded active reference count tests
- commit_creds() active reference tests
- Pagination and stress tests

- Re-enable IOCB_NOWAIT writes to files. This refactors file
timestamp update logic, fixing a layering bypass in btrfs when
updating timestamps on device files and improving FMODE_NOCMTIME

- Path lookup optimizations extracting slowpaths into dedicated
routines and adding branch prediction hints for mntput_no_expire(),
fd_install(), lookup_slow(), and various other hot paths.
- Enable clang's -fms-extensions flag, requiring a JFS rename to
avoid conflicts.
- Remove spurious exports in fs/file_attr.c.
- Stop duplicating union pipe_index declaration. This depends on the
shared kbuild branch that brings in -fms-extensions support which
is merged into this branch.
- Use MD5 library instead of crypto_shash in ecryptfs.
- Use largest_zero_folio() in iomap_dio_zero().
- Replace simple_strtol/strtoul with kstrtoint/kstrtouint in init and
initrd code.
- Various typo fixes.
Fixes:
- Fix emergency sync for btrfs. Btrfs requires an explicit sync_fs()
call with wait == 1 to commit super blocks. The emergency sync path
never passed this, leaving btrfs data uncommitted during emergency

In the stock variant the compiler spills several registers on the stack
and employs stack smashing protection, adding even more code + a branch
on exit..
The actual fast path is small enough that the compiler inlines it for
all callers -- the symbol is no longer emitted.
Forcing noinline on it just for code-measurement purposes shows the fast
path dropping from 111 to 39 bytes.

If a mount namespace contains autofs mounts, and they are propagation
private, and there is no namespace specific automount daemon to handle
possible automounting then attempted path resolution will loop until
MAXSYMLINKS is reached before failing causing quite a bit of noise in
the log.
Add a check for this in autofs ->d_automount() so that the VFS can
immediately return an error in this case. Since the mount is propagation
private an EPERM return seems most appropriate.

grab_requested_mnt_ns was changed to return error codes on failure, but
its callers were not updated to check for error pointers, still checking
only for a NULL return value.
This commit updates the callers to use IS_ERR() or IS_ERR_OR_NULL() and
PTR_ERR() to correctly check for and propagate errors.
This also makes sure that the logic actually works and mount namespace
file descriptors can be used to refere to mounts.

Stop playing games with the namespace id and use a boolean instead:
* This will remove the special-casing we need to do everywhere for mount
namespaces.
* It will allow us to use asserts on the namespace id for initial
namespaces everywhere.
* It will allow us to put anonymous mount namespaces on the namespaces
trees in the future and thus make them available to statmount() and
listmount().

The initial set of namespace comes with fixed inode numbers making it
easy for userspace to identify them solely based on that information.
This has long preceeded anything here.
Similarly, let's assign fixed namespace ids for the initial namespaces.
Kill the cookie and use a sequentially increasing number. This has the
nice side-effect that the owning user namespace will always have a
namespace id that is smaller than any of it's descendant namespaces.

In statmount_string(), most flags assign an output offset pointer (offp)
which is later updated with the string offset. However, the
STATMOUNT_MNT_UIDMAP and STATMOUNT_MNT_GIDMAP cases directly set the
struct fields instead of using offp. This leaves offp uninitialized,
leading to a possible uninitialized dereference when *offp is updated.
Fix it by assigning offp for UIDMAP and GIDMAP as well, keeping the code
path consistent.

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace
infrastructure of the kernel.
Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct
ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so
on.
We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type
that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new
changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up.
The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every
namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings
from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace
type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a
single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives
the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will
yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy.
The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum()
and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the
network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about.
Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference
counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even
though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open
accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a
very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do
for e.g., files.
In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration
infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes
it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all
mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller
holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts
in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system
call.
Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the
systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a
unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the
concept to all other namespace types.
The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by
their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and
bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate
through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree
works completely locklessly.
This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic
infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct
mnt_namespace itself.
There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for
now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept
introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have
supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very
useful.
This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible
to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common
name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis.
As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive,
meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in
able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle.
Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the
kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode
the file handle.
Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which
means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's
irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate
/proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the
namespace based on a pidfd already.
It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for
the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any
resources and to compare them trivially.
Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the
namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise
they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant
namespace.
The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable
and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace
identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable
format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file
handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already
allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles"

sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets
- Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option
Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
been constructed)
This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:
* In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
containers would fail to mount procfs)
But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
just one-shot this using mount(2)
* Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)
While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
of unfortunate
Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
using fsconfig(2):
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");
Cleanups:
- Remove the last references to EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK
- Make file_remove_privs_flags() static
- Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN when GFP_NOWAIT is used
- Use try_cmpxchg() in start_dir_add()
- Use try_cmpxchg() in sb_init_done_wq()
- Replace offsetof() with struct_size() in ioctl_file_dedupe_range()
- Remove vfs_ioctl() export
- Replace rwlock() with spinlock in epoll code as rwlock causes
priority inversion on preempt rt kernels
- Make ns_entries in fs/proc/namespaces const
- Use a switch() statement() in init_special_inode() just like we do
in may_open()
- Use struct_size() in dir_add() in the initramfs code
- Use str_plural() in rd_load_image()
- Replace strcpy() with strscpy() in find_link()
- Rename generic_delete_inode() to inode_just_drop() and
generic_drop_inode() to inode_generic_drop()
- Remove unused arguments from fcntl_{g,s}et_rw_hint()
Fixes:
- Document @name parameter for name_contains_dotdot() helper
- Fix spelling mistake
- Always return zero from replace_fd() instead of the file descriptor
number
- Limit the size for copy_file_range() in compat mode to prevent a
signed overflow
- Fix debugfs mount options not being applied
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in minixfs
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in cramfs
- Don't trigger automounts with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV
If openat2() was called with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV it didn't traverse
through automounts, but could still trigger them
- Add FL_RECLAIM flag to show_fl_flags() macro so it appears in
tracepoints
- Fix unused variable warning in rd_load_image() on s390
- Make INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME depend on BLK_DEV_INITRD
- Use ns_capable_noaudit() when determining net sysctl permissions
- Don't call path_put() under namespace semaphore in listmount() and
statmount()"

Massage listmount() and make sure we don't call path_put() under the
namespace semaphore. If we put the last reference we're fscked.

It's misplaced in struct proc_ns_operations and ns->ops might be NULL if
the namespace is compiled out but we still want to know the type of the
namespace for the initial namespace struct.
