Subject: [RFC][PATCH 00/27] VFS: Introduce filesystem context [ver #5]
Here are a set of patches to create a filesystem context prior to setting
up a new mount, populating it with the parsed options/binary data, creating
the superblock and then effecting the mount. This is also used for remount
since much of the parsing stuff is common in many filesystems.
This allows namespaces and other information to be conveyed through the
mount procedure. A method is also provided by which supplementary error
information to be retrieved (so many things can go wrong during a mount
that a small integer isn't really sufficient to convey the issue).
This also allows Miklós Szeredi's idea of doing:
fd = fsopen("nfs");
write(fd, "option=val", ...);
fsmount(fd, "/mnt");
that he presented at LSF-2017 to be implemented (see the relevant patches
in the series). I add a
prctl(PR_ERRMSG_ENABLE, 1);
call to enable error message buffering and:
prctl(PR_ERRMSG_READ, ...);
to retrieve and discard the latest error message.
I didn't use netlink as that would make the core kernel depend on
CONFIG_NET and CONFIG_NETLINK and would introduce network namespacing
issues.
I've implemented mount context handling for procfs, nfs, mqueue, cpuset,
kernfs, sysfs and cgroup filesystems.
Significant changes:
ver #5:
(*) Renamed sb_config -> fs_context and adjusted variable names.
(*) Differentiated the flags in sb->s_flags (now named SB_*) from those
passed to mount(2) (named MS_*).
(*) Renamed __vfs_new_fs_context() to vfs_new_fs_context() and made the
caller always provide a struct file_system_type pointer and the
parameters required.
(*) Got rid of vfs_submount_fc() in favour of passing
FS_CONTEXT_FOR_SUBMOUNT to vfs_new_fs_context(). The purpose is now
used more.
(*) Call ->validate() on the remount path.
(*) Got rid of the inode locking in sys_fsmount().
(*) Call security_sb_mountpoint() in the mount(2) path.
ver #4:
(*) Split the sb_config patch up somewhat.
(*) Made the supplementary error string facility something attached to the
task_struct rather than the sb_config so that error messages can be
obtained from NFS doing a mount-root-and-pathwalk inside the
nfs_get_tree() operation.
Further, made this managed and read by prctl rather than through the
mount fd so that it's more generally available.
ver #3:
(*) Rebased on 4.12-rc1.
(*) Split the NFS patch up somewhat.
ver #2:
(*) Removed the ->fill_super() from sb_config_operations and passed it in
directly to functions that want to call it. NFS now calls
nfs_fill_super() directly rather than jumping through a pointer to it
since there's only the one option at the moment.
(*) Removed ->mnt_ns and ->sb from sb_config and moved ->pid_ns into
proc_sb_config.
(*) Renamed create_super -> get_tree.
(*) Renamed struct mount_context to struct sb_config and amended various
variable names.
(*) sys_fsmount() acquired AT_* flags and MS_* flags (for MNT_* flags)
arguments.
ver #1:
(*) Split the sb_config stuff out into its own header.
(*) Support non-context aware filesystems through a special set of
sb_config operations.
(*) Stored the created superblock and root dentry into the sb_config after
creation rather than directly into a vfsmount. This allows some
arguments to be removed to various NFS functions.
(*) Added an explicit superblock-creation step. This allows a created
superblock to then be mounted multiple times.
(*) Added a flag to say that the sb_config is degraded and cannot have
another go at having a superblock creation whilst getting rid of the
one that says it's already mounted.
Further developments:
(*) Implement sb reconfiguration (for now it returns ENOANO).
(*) Implement mount context support in more filesystems, ext4 being next
on my list.
(*) Move the walk-from-root stuff that nfs has to generic code so that you
can do something akin to:
mount /dev/sda1:/foo/bar /mnt
See nfs_follow_remote_path() and mount_subtree(). This is slightly
tricky in NFS as we have to prevent referral loops.
(*) Work out how to get at the error message incurred by submounts
encountered during nfs_follow_remote_path().
Should the error message be moved to task_struct and made more
general, perhaps retrieved with a prctl() function?
(*) Clean up/consolidate the security functions. Possibly add a
validation hook to be called at the same time as the mount context
validate op.
