Reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually _stored_
anywhere. That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other
things, we have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended
to be an unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether
the reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if
that removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).
Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag (DCACHE_PERSISTENT)
marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set claims responsibility
for +1 in refcount.
The end result this series is aiming for:
* get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives that
would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear persistency flag.
* instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the remaining
"leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't been removed
prior to umount), have the regular shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip
DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries, dropping the corresponding
reference if it had been set. After that kill_litter_super() becomes
an equivalent of kill_anon_super().
Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many places
in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.
This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary pieces
have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting to the
meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions to it.
Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
that stuff is here.

Quite a bit is already done by infrastructure changes (simple_link(),
simple_unlink()) - all that is left is replacing d_instantiate() +
pinning dget() (in ->symlink() and ->mknod()) with d_make_persistent(),
and, in case of shmem, using simple_unlink() and simple_link() in
->unlink() and ->link() resp., instead of open-coding those there.
Since d_make_persistent() accepts (and hashes) unhashed ones, shmem
situation gets simpler - we no longer care whether ->lookup() has hashed
the sucker.
With that done, we don't need kill_litter_super() for these filesystems
anymore - by the umount time all remaining dentries will be marked
persistent and kill_litter_super() will boil down to call of
kill_anon_super().
The same goes for devtmpfs and rootfs - they are handled by
ramfs or by shmem, depending upon config.
NB: strictly speaking, both devtmpfs and rootfs ought to use
ramfs_kill_sb() if they end up using ramfs; that's a separate
story and the only impact of "just use kill_{litter,anon}_super()"
is that we fail to free their sb->s_fs_info... on reboot.
That's orthogonal to the changes in this series - kill_litter_super()
is identical to kill_anon_super() for those at this point.

kern_path_locked() is now only used to prepare for removing an object
from the filesystem (and that is the only credible reason for wanting a
positive locked dentry). Thus it corresponds to kern_path_create() and
so should have a corresponding name.
Unfortunately the name "kern_path_create" is somewhat misleading as it
doesn't actually create anything. The recently added
simple_start_creating() provides a better pattern I believe. The
"start" can be matched with "end" to bracket the creating or removing.
So this patch changes names:
kern_path_locked -> start_removing_path
kern_path_create -> start_creating_path
user_path_create -> start_creating_user_path
user_path_locked_at -> start_removing_user_path_at
done_path_create -> end_creating_path
and also introduces end_removing_path() which is identical to
end_creating_path().
__start_removing_path (which was __kern_path_locked) is enhanced to
call mnt_want_write() for consistency with the start_creating_path().

The recent move of the bdev_statx call to the low-level vfs_getattr_nosec
helper caused it being used by devtmpfs, which leads to deadlocks in
md teardown due to the block device lookup and put interfering with the
unusual lifetime rules in md.
But as handle_remove only works on inodes created and owned by devtmpfs
itself there is no need to use vfs_getattr_nosec vs simply reading the
mode from the inode directly. Switch to that to avoid the bdev lookup
or any other unintentional side effect.

"This contains cleanups that fell out of the work from async directory

- Change kern_path_locked() and user_path_locked_at() to never return
a negative dentry. This simplifies the usability of these helpers

- Drop d_exact_alias() from the remaining place in NFS where it is

- Drop an unnecessary call to fh_update() from nfsd_create_locked()

Change vfs_mkdir() to return a dentry provided by the filesystems

of cases where the resulting dentry is not positive to very few
cases. The code in these places becomes simpler and easier to
understand.
- Repack DENTRY_* and LOOKUP_* flags"
* tag 'vfs-6.15-rc1.async.dir' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
doc: fix inline emphasis warning
VFS: Change vfs_mkdir() to return the dentry.
nfs: change mkdir inode_operation to return alternate dentry if needed.

VFS: repack LOOKUP_ bit flags.
VFS: repack DENTRY_ flags.
vfs_mkdir() does not guarantee to leave the child dentry hashed or make
it positive on success, and in many such cases the filesystem had to use
a different dentry which it can now return.
This patch changes vfs_mkdir() to return the dentry provided by the
filesystems which is hashed and positive when provided. This reduces
the number of cases where the resulting dentry is not positive to a
handful which don't deserve extra efforts.
The only callers of vfs_mkdir() which are interested in the resulting
inode are in-kernel filesystem clients: cachefiles, nfsd, smb/server.
The only filesystems that don't reliably provide the inode are:
- kernfs, tracefs which these clients are unlikely to be interested in
- cifs in some configurations would need to do a lookup to find the
created inode, but doesn't. cifs cannot be exported via NFS, is
unlikely to be used by cachefiles, and smb/server only has a soft
requirement for the inode, so this is unlikely to be a problem in
practice.
- hostfs, nfs, cifs may need to do a lookup (rarely for NFS) and it is
possible for a race to make that lookup fail. Actual failure
is unlikely and providing callers handle negative dentries graceful
they will fail-safe.
So this patch removes the lookup code in nfsd and smb/server and adjusts
them to fail safe if a negative dentry is provided:
- cache-files already fails safe by restarting the task from the
top - it still does with this change, though it no longer calls
cachefiles_put_directory() as that will crash if the dentry is
negative.
- nfsd reports "Server-fault" which it what it used to do if the lookup
failed. This will never happen on any file-systems that it can actually
export, so this is of no consequence. I removed the fh_update()
call as that is not needed and out-of-place. A subsequent
nfsd_create_setattr() call will call fh_update() when needed.
- smb/server only wants the inode to call ksmbd_smb_inherit_owner()
which updates ->i_uid (without calling notify_change() or similar)
which can be safely skipping on cifs (I hope).
If a different dentry is returned, the first one is put. If necessary
the fact that it is new can be determined by comparing pointers. A new
dentry will certainly have a new pointer (as the old is put after the
new is obtained).
Similarly if an error is returned (via ERR_PTR()) the original dentry is
put.

This results in a subtle change to bcachefs in that an ioctl will now
return -ENOENT in preference to -EXDEV. I believe this restores the

When a dev_t is set in a struct device, an symlink in /sys/dev/ is
created for it either under /sys/dev/block/ or /sys/dev/char/ depending
on the device type.
The logic to determine this would trigger off of the class of the
object, and the kobj_type set in that location. But it turns out that
this deep nesting isn't needed at all, as it's either a choice of block
or "everything else" which is a char device. So make the logic a lot
more simple and obvious, and remove the incorrect comments in the code
that tried to document something that was not happening at all (it is
impossible to set class->dev_kobj to NULL as the class core prevented
that from happening.
This removes the only place that class->dev_kobj was being used, so
after this, it can be removed entirely.

- fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review
cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices.
Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a
watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems.
- driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be moved
into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust has
pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are
passing around and working with structures that really do not have
to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only making
things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work (started
last release with kobject changes) in moving struct bus_type to be
constant. We didn't quite make it for this release, but the
remaining patches will be finished up for the release after this
one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort.
Other than that we have in here:
- debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems
- error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit
codepaths.
- cacheinfo rework and fixes

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

When the devtmpfs fails to mount, a dangling pointer still remains in
global. Specifically, the err variable is passed by a pointer to the

setup_done. In this situation, the thread pointer is not set to null.
After the devtmpfsd exited, the devtmpfs can wakes up the destroyed
devtmpfsd thread by wake_up_process if a device change event comes.

The internal_fs_type is mounted via vfs_kernel_mount() and is never
registered as a filesystem, thus specifying the parameters is redundant
as those params will not be validated by fs_validate_description().
Both {shmem,ramfs}_fs_parameters are anyway validated when those
respective filesystems are first registered, so there is no reason to
pass them to devtmpfs too, drop them.

Prior to Linux v5.4 devtmpfs used mount_single() which treats the given
mount options as "remount" options, so it updates the configuration of
the single super_block on each mount.
Since that was changed, the mount options used for devtmpfs are ignored.
This is a regression which affect systemd - which mounts devtmpfs with
"-o mode=755,size=4m,nr_inodes=1m".
This patch restores the "remount" effect by calling reconfigure_single()

devtmpfs is writable. Add the noexec and nosuid as default mount flags
to prevent code execution from /dev. The systems who don't use systemd
and who rely on CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y are the ones to be protected by
this patch. Other systems are fine with the udev solution.
No sane program should be relying on executing from /dev. So this patch
reduces the attack surface. It doesn't prevent any specific attack, but
it reduces the possibility that someone can use /dev as a place to put
executable code. Chrome OS has been carrying this patch for several
years. It seems trivial and simple solution to improve the protection of
/dev when CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y.

Currently gcc seems to inline devtmpfs_setup() into devtmpfsd(), so
its memory footprint isn't reclaimed as intended. Mark it noinline to
make sure it gets put in .init.text.
While here, setup_done can also be put in .init.data: After complete()
releases the internal spinlock, the completion object is never touched
again by that thread, and the waiting thread doesn't proceed until it
observes ->done while holding that spinlock.
This is now the same pattern as for kthreadd_done in init/main.c:
complete() is done in a __ref function, while the corresponding
wait_for_completion() is in an __init function.

Calling complete() from within the __init function is wrong -
theoretically, the init process could proceed all the way to freeing
the init mem before the devtmpfsd thread gets to execute the return
instruction in devtmpfs_setup().
In practice, it seems to be harmless as gcc inlines devtmpfs_setup()
into devtmpfsd(). So the calls of the __init functions init_chdir()
etc. actually happen from devtmpfs_setup(), but the __ref on that one
silences modpost (it's all right, because those calls happen before
the complete()). But it does make the __init annotation of the setup
function moot, which we'll fix in a subsequent patch.

The various vfs_*() helpers are called by filesystems or by the vfs
itself to perform core operations such as create, link, mkdir, mknod, rename,
rmdir, tmpfile and unlink. Enable them to handle idmapped mounts. If the
inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the
mount's user namespace and pass it down. Afterwards the checks and
operations are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user
namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see
identical behavior as before.

When file attributes are changed most filesystems rely on the
setattr_prepare(), setattr_copy(), and notify_change() helpers for
initialization and permission checking. Let them handle idmapped mounts.
If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the
mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to
non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing
changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.
Helpers that perform checks on the ia_uid and ia_gid fields in struct
iattr assume that ia_uid and ia_gid are intended values and have already
been mapped correctly at the userspace-kernelspace boundary as we
already do today. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing
changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.

Pull vfs file system parameter updates from Al Viro:
"Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry
of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is
the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case
every time something got added to that system-wide registry.
New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their
namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW,
they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely
useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having
to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself.
And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally
pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts -
things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them
do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants
blessed by direct support in fs_parse(), TYVM.
Quite a bit of boilerplate is gone. And IMO the data structures make a
lot more sense now. -200LoC, while we are at it"

devtmpfs_mount() is only called from prepare_namespace() in
init/do_mounts.c, which is an __init function, so devtmpfs_mount() can

After complete(&setup_done), devtmpfs_init proceeds and may actually
return, invalidating the *err pointer, before devtmpfsd() proceeds to
reading back *err.
This is of course completely theoretical since the error conditions
never trigger in practice, and even if they did, nobody cares about
the exit value from a kernel thread, so it doesn't matter if we happen
to read back some garbage from some other stack frame. Still, this
isn't a pattern that should be copy-pasted, so fix it.

In devtmpfs, do_mount() can be called directly instead of complex wrapping
by ksys_mount():
- the first and third arguments are const strings in the kernel,
and do not need to be copied over from userspace;
- the fifth argument is NULL, and therefore no page needs to be
copied over from userspace;
- the second and fourth argument are passed through anyway.

Convert the ramfs, shmem, tmpfs, devtmpfs and rootfs filesystems to the new
internal mount API as the old one will be obsoleted and removed. This
allows greater flexibility in communication of mount parameters between
userspace, the VFS and the filesystem.
See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.
Note that tmpfs is slightly tricky as it can contain embedded commas, so it
can't be trivially split up using strsep() to break on commas in
generic_parse_monolithic(). Instead, tmpfs has to supply its own generic
parser.
However, if tmpfs changes, then devtmpfs and rootfs, which are wrappers
around tmpfs or ramfs, must change too - and thus so must ramfs, so these
had to be converted also.

Create an internal-only type matching the current devtmpfs, never
register it and have one kernel-internal mount done. That thing
gets mounted only once, so it is free to use mount_nodev().
The "public" devtmpfs (the one we do register, and only after
the internal mount of the real thing is done) simply gets and
returns an extra reference to the internal superblock.
