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

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.

Add ability to set per-dentry mount expire timeout to autofs.
There are two fairly well known automounter map formats, the autofs
format and the amd format (more or less System V and Berkley).
Some time ago Linux autofs added an amd map format parser that
implemented a fair amount of the amd functionality. This was done
within the autofs infrastructure and some functionality wasn't
implemented because it either didn't make sense or required extra
kernel changes. The idea was to restrict changes to be within the
existing autofs functionality as much as possible and leave changes
with a wider scope to be considered later.
One of these changes is implementing the amd options:
1) "unmount", expire this mount according to a timeout (same as the
current autofs default).
2) "nounmount", don't expire this mount (same as setting the autofs
timeout to 0 except only for this specific mount) .
3) "utimeout=<seconds>", expire this mount using the specified
timeout (again same as setting the autofs timeout but only for
this mount).
To implement these options per-dentry expire timeouts need to be
implemented for autofs indirect mounts. This is because all map keys
(mounts) for autofs indirect mounts use an expire timeout stored in
the autofs mount super block info. structure and all indirect mounts
use the same expire timeout.
Now I have a request to add the "nounmount" option so I need to add
the per-dentry expire handling to the kernel implementation to do this.
The implementation uses the trailing path component to identify the
mount (and is also used as the autofs map key) which is passed in the
autofs_dev_ioctl structure path field. The expire timeout is passed
in autofs_dev_ioctl timeout field (well, of the timeout union).
If the passed in timeout is equal to -1 the per-dentry timeout and
flag are cleared providing for the "unmount" option. If the timeout
is greater than or equal to 0 the timeout is set to the value and the
flag is also set. If the dentry timeout is 0 the dentry will not expire
by timeout which enables the implementation of the "nounmount" option
for the specific mount. When the dentry timeout is greater than zero it
allows for the implementation of the "utimeout=<seconds>" option.

We are seeing systemd hang on its autofs direct mount at
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc.
Historically this was due to a mismatch in the communication structure
size between a 64 bit kernel and a 32 bit user space and was fixed by
making the pipe communication record oriented.
During autofs v5 development I decided to stay with the existing usage
instead of changing to a packed structure for autofs <=> user space
communications which turned out to be a mistake on my part.
Problems arose and they were fixed by allowing for the 64 bit to 32
bit size difference in the automount(8) code.
Along the way systemd started to use autofs and eventually encountered
this problem too. systemd refused to compensate for the length
difference insisting it be fixed in the kernel. Fortunately Linus
implemented the packetized pipe which resolved the problem in a
straight forward and simple way.
In the autofs mount api conversion series I inadvertatly dropped the
packet pipe flag settings when adding the autofs_parse_fd() function.
This patch fixes that omission.

Add an autofs file system mount option that can be used to provide a
generic indicator to applications that the mount entry should be ignored
when displaying mount information.
In other OSes that provide autofs and that provide a mount list to user
space based on the kernel mount list a no-op mount option ("ignore" is
the one use on the most common OS) is allowed so that autofs file system
users can optionally use it.
The idea is that it be used by user space programs to exclude autofs
mounts from consideration when reading the mounts list.
Prior to the change to link /etc/mtab to /proc/self/mounts all I needed
to do to achieve this was to use mount(2) and not update the mtab but
now that no longer works.
I know the symlinking happened a long time ago and I considered doing
this then but, at the time I couldn't remember the commonly used option
name and thought persuading the various utility maintainers would be too
hard.
But now I have a RHEL request to do this for compatibility for a widely
used product so I want to go ahead with it and try and enlist the help
of some utility package maintainers.
Clearly, without the option nothing can be done so it's at least a
start.

Commit 092a53452b ("autofs: take more care to not update last_used on

were not expiring due to aggressive accesses from user space.
This patch was later reverted because, for very large environments, it
meant more mount requests from clients and when there are a lot of
clients this caused a fairly significant increase in server load.
But there is a need for both types of expire check, depending on use
case, so add a mount option to allow for strict update of last use of
autofs dentrys (which just means not updating the last use on path walk
access).

Stop the autofs filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace
autofs_read_inode() with autofs_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
autofs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
at the code for a long time.
The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
represent that fact,
* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
the common prefix of the same name.
For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

Make autofs container-friendly by caching struct pid reference rather than
pid_t and using pid_nr() to retreive a task's pid_t.
ChangeLog:
- Fix Eric Biederman's comments - Use find_get_pid() to hold a
reference to oz_pgrp and release while unmounting; separate out
changes to autofs and autofs4.
- Fix Cedric's comments: retain old prototype of parse_options()
and move necessary change to its caller.

When kernel is compiled with old version of autofs (CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS), and
new (observed at least with 5.x.x) automount deamon is started, kernel
correctly reports incompatible version of kernel and userland daemon, but
then screws things up instead of correct handling of the error:
autofs: kernel does not match daemon version

and then deadlock comes.
The problem: autofs_fill_super() returns EINVAL to get_sb_nodev(), but
before that, it calls kill_anon_super() to destroy the superblock which
won't be needed. This is however way too soon to call kill_anon_super(),
because get_sb_nodev() has to perform its own cleanup of the superblock
first (deactivate_super(), etc.). The correct time to call
kill_anon_super() is in the autofs_kill_sb() callback, which is called by
deactivate_super() at proper time, when the superblock is ready to be
killed.
I can see the same faulty codepath also in autofs4. This patch solves
issues in both filesystems in a same way - it postpones the
kill_anon_super() until the proper time is signalized by deactivate_super()
calling the kill_sb() callback.

Resolve the panic on failed mount of an autofs filesystem originally
reported by Mao Bibo.
It addresses two issues that happen after the mount fail. The first a NULL
pointer reference to a field (pipe) in the autofs superblock info structure
and second the lack of super block cleanup by the autofs and autofs4
modules.

Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super()
so that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy
the dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true.
What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the
kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_anon_super().
The call to shrink_dcache_sb() is removed as it is redundant since
shrink_dcache_for_umount() will now be called after the cleanup routine.

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.
Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
