Subject: [PATCH RFC v2] fhandle: expose u64 mount id to
name_to_handle_at(2)
Now that we provide a unique 64-bit mount ID interface in statx, we can
now provide a race-free way for name_to_handle_at(2) to provide a file
handle and corresponding mount without needing to worry about racing
with /proc/mountinfo parsing.
While this is not necessary if you are using AT_EMPTY_PATH and don't
care about an extra statx(2) call, users that pass full paths into
name_to_handle_at(2) need to know which mount the file handle comes from
(to make sure they don't try to open_by_handle_at a file handle from a
different filesystem) and switching to AT_EMPTY_PATH would require
allocating a file for every name_to_handle_at(2) call, turning
err = name_to_handle_at(-EBADF, "/foo/bar/baz", &handle, &mntid,
AT_HANDLE_MNT_ID_UNIQUE);
into
int fd = openat(-EBADF, "/foo/bar/baz", O_PATH | O_CLOEXEC);
err1 = name_to_handle_at(fd, "", &handle, &unused_mntid, AT_EMPTY_PATH);
err2 = statx(fd, "", AT_EMPTY_PATH, STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE, &statxbuf);
mntid = statxbuf.stx_mnt_id;
close(fd);
Unlike AT_HANDLE_FID, as per Amir's suggestion, AT_HANDLE_MNT_ID_UNIQUE
uses a new AT_* bit from the historically-unused 0xFF range (which we
now define as being the "per-syscall" range for AT_* bits).
Signed-off-by: Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@...har.com>
---
Changes in v2:
- Fixed a few minor compiler warnings and a buggy copy_to_user() check.
- Rename AT_HANDLE_UNIQUE_MOUNT_ID -> AT_HANDLE_MNT_ID_UNIQUE to match statx.
- Switched to using an AT_* bit from 0xFF and defining that range as
being "per-syscall" for future usage.
- Sync tools/ copy of <linux/fcntl.h> to include changes.
- v1: <https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240520-exportfs-u64-mount-id-v1-1-f55fd9215b8e@cyphar.com>
