Subject: [PATCH] let proc net directory inodes reflect to active net
namespace
Hi,
Linux kernel recently got a bugfix 1fde6f21d90f ("proc: fix /proc/net/* after setns(2)"),
but unfortunately it only solves the issue for procfs net file inodes so they get correct
content after a process change namespace.
Checking on a v5.2-rc6 kernel :
sh-4.4# sh netns_procfs_test.sh
[ 16.451640] ip (108) used greatest stack depth: 12264 bytes left
Before net namespace change :
==== /proc/net/dev ====
Inter-| Receive | Transmit
face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packd
eth0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

sit0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

After net namespace change :
==== /proc/net/dev ====
Inter-| Receive | Transmit
face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packd
sit0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
if_other: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
lo: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
==== files in /proc/net/dev_snmp6 ====

if_default
This kernel is fixed for file inode bug but suffers dir inode bug
sh-4.4#
As can be seen above, after the namespace change we see new content in procfs net/dev
but the listing of procfs net/dev_snmp6 still shows entries from previous namespace.
We need to apply similar bugfix for directory creation in procfs net as the mentioned
commit do for files.
Checking on a v5.2-rc6 kernel with bugfixes :
sh-4.4# sh netns_procfs_test.sh

This kernel is fixed for both file and dir inode bug
sh-4.4#
Here we see that the directory procfs net/dev_snmp6 is updated according to the namespace
change.
The fix is two commits, first updates proc_net_mkdir() entries similar to mentioned patch
and second one is changing net/ipv6/proc.c to use proc_net_mkdir() instead.
Speaking about proc_net_mkdir()...

[phallsma@...-phallsma-l3 linux]$
IMHO all code should use proc_net_mkdir() instead of proc_mkdir() for procfs net entries,
or am I missing something here? If not possible to changeover to proc_net_mkdir() there
is a need for duplicating my first commit at those places. I'm fixing the one for dev_snmp6()
which is what I've tested as well.
Also wonder if it all is optimal. Wouldn't it be better to re-enable dcache for these (files as well as directories)
and in addition have kernel drop dcache in case of a namespace change?
Attaching patches and app/script for verifying.
I'm not on the mailing lists so please keep me on CC in case of responding.
Best regards,
Per
