Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the
lock in anon_pipe_write().
anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding
pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs
memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any
concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are
pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled
into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder
is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical
section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB
writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average
write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of
holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves
21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to
selftests.
- uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in
copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check
in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add
copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr()
helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC).
- bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real
inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode
attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device
information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program
that was merged into systemd.
- docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by
the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose
on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio
conversions and iomap migration.
Fixes:
- libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo()
and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a
one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo
filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo()
callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where
SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning.
- Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs,
qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a
device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them;
the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a
follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the
minix v3 block size fails.
- mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API.
- fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by
switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg()
from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID
path.
- vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing
delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount
performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init
s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT.
- selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped
grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in
listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns()
where the tests should SKIP.
- filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for
CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n.
- init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before
running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state.
- fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in
validate_coredump_safety().
- iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in
__iomap_write_begin().
- backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc.
Cleanups:
- initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin()
instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and
extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x
prefixes.
- Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc()
across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2,
isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the
do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page
allocator calls with kmalloc().
- Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and
journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence.
- Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove
start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path()
into start_removing_path().
- fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with
EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES().
- vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for
the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the
architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases.
- dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free()
via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags.
- iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the
allocation against multiplication overflow.
- fs/pipe: write to ->poll_usage only once.
- vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd().
- dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc().
- namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts().
- sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code.
- Comment fixes: retire a stale comment in fget_task_next() and fix
assorted spelling mistakes"

fanotify: allow reporting pidfds for reaped tasks
Fanotify used to refuse to report pidfds for reaped tasks by applying a pid_has_task() check before calling pidfd_prepare(). This prevented userspace from obtaining information about the task. Register the event pid with pidfs when creating the fanotify event if pidfd reporting was requested, so pidfd_prepare() can later create a pidfd for the reaped task.

simpe_xattr: use per-sb cache
Move the hash table to the super block to remove excessive overhead in case
of small number of xattrs per inode.
Add linked list to the inode, used for listxattr and eviction. Listxattr
uses rcu protection to iterate the list of xattrs.
Before being made per-sb, lazy allocation was protected by inode lock. Now
inode lock no longer provides sufficient exclusion, so use cmpxchg() to
ensure atomicity.
Though I haven't found a description of this pattern, after some research
it seems that cmpxchg_release() and READ_ONCE() should provide the
necessary memory barriers.
Use simple_xattr_free_rcu() in simple_xattrs_free(). This is needed because
the hash table is now shared between inodes and lookup on a different inode
might be running the compare function on the just freed element within the
RCU grace period.
Following stats are based on slabinfo diff, after creating 100k empty
files, then adding a "user.test=foo" xattr to each:
v7.0 (no rhashtable):
File creation: 993.40 bytes/file
Xattr addition: 79.99 bytes/file
v7.1-rc2 (per-inode rhashtable):
File creation: 939.73 bytes/file
Xattr addition: 1296.08 bytes/file
v7.1-rc2 + this patch (per-sb rhashtable)
File creation: 946.84 bytes/file
Xattr addition: 111.86 bytes/file
The overhead of a single xattr is reduced to nearly v7.0 levels. The per
xattr overhead is slightly larger due to the addition of three pointers to
struct simple_xattr.

simple_xattr: change interface to pass struct simple_xattrs **
Change the simple_xattr API to accept pointer-to-pointer (struct simple_xattrs **) instead of pointer. This allows the functions to handle lazy allocation internally without requiring callers to use simple_xattrs_lazy_alloc(). The simple_xattr_set(), simple_xattr_set_limited() and simple_xattr_add() functions now handle allocation when xattrs is NULL. simple_xattrs_free() now also frees the xattrs structure itself and sets the pointer to NULL. This simplifies callers and removes the need for most callers to explicitly manage xattrs allocation and lifetime. In shmem_initxattrs(), the total required space for all initial xattrs (ispace) is pre-calculated and deducted from sbinfo->free_ispace. Since this patch modifies the function to add new xattrs directly to the inode's &info->xattrs list rather than using a local temporary variable, a failure means that the partially populated info->xattrs list remains attached to the inode. When the VFS caller handles the -ENOMEM error, it drops the newly created inode via iput(), shmem_free_inode() adds freed to sbinfo->free_ispace a second time, permanently inflating the tmpfs free space quota. Fix by substracting already added xattrs from ispace.

exec_state: relocate dumpable information
The dumpable flag captured at execve() is consulted by __ptrace_may_access() and several /proc owner / visibility checks. It lives on mm_struct today, which exit_mm() clears from the task long before the task itself is reaped. exec_state is anchored to the execve() that established the current privilege domain. CLONE_VM siblings refcount-share the parent's exec_state via copy_exec_state(); non-CLONE_VM clones allocate a fresh exec_state inheriting the parent's dumpable mode and user_ns reference via task_exec_state_copy(). execve() allocates a fresh instance (via alloc_task_exec_state() in begin_new_exec()) and installs it under task_lock + exec_update_lock with task_exec_state_replace(). init_task uses a static instance. The dumpable mode now lives on task->exec_state->dumpable. task->mm->flags no longer carries dumpability; MMF_DUMPABLE_MASK is removed, but MMF_DUMPABLE_BITS is reserved so MMF_DUMP_FILTER_* bit positions remain stable for the /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter ABI. The task->user_dumpable cache bit and its assignment in exit_mm() are removed; readers go through get_dumpable(task) directly. coredump_params gains a snapshot field cprm.dumpable, populated from get_dumpable(current) at vfs_coredump() entry, replacing the previous __get_dumpable(cprm->mm_flags) consumers in fs/coredump.c and fs/pidfs.c. The user namespace recorded at execve() is consulted by __ptrace_may_access() and by /proc/PID/* owner derivation. Move the captured user_ns onto task_exec_state, which stays attached to the task past exit_mm() and across exit_files(). bprm grows a user_ns field staged in bprm_mm_init() with the caller's user_ns, narrowed by would_dump() to the closest privileged ancestor, and consumed by exec_mmap() via alloc_task_exec_state(bprm->user_ns). free_bprm() releases the staging reference. mm_struct loses ->user_ns entirely. Initializers in init-mm, efi_mm, and the implicit one in mm_init()/dup_mm()/mm_alloc() are removed; __mmdrop() drops the matching put_user_ns(). The kthread_use_mm() WARN_ON_ONCE(!mm->user_ns) is no longer meaningful and goes too.

sched/coredump: introduce enum task_dumpable
Replace the SUID_DUMP_DISABLE/USER/ROOT preprocessor constants with enum task_dumpable. Numeric values are preserved (kernel.suid_dumpable sysctl and prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE) ABI), so this is a pure rename with no behavioral change.

Merge tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.pidfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull clone and pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Add three new clone3() flags for pidfd-based process lifecycle
management.
CLONE_AUTOREAP:
CLONE_AUTOREAP makes a child process auto-reap on exit without ever
becoming a zombie. This is a per-process property in contrast to
the existing auto-reap mechanism via SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN for
SIGCHLD which applies to all children of a given parent.
Currently the only way to automatically reap children is to set
SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN on SIGCHLD. This is a parent-scoped
property affecting all children which makes it unsuitable for
libraries or applications that need selective auto-reaping of
specific children while still being able to wait() on others.
CLONE_AUTOREAP stores an autoreap flag in the child's
signal_struct. When the child exits do_notify_parent() checks this
flag and causes exit_notify() to transition the task directly to
EXIT_DEAD. Since the flag lives on the child it survives
reparenting: if the original parent exits and the child is
reparented to a subreaper or init the child still auto-reaps when
it eventually exits. This is cleaner than forcing the subreaper to
get SIGCHLD and then reaping it. If the parent doesn't care the
subreaper won't care. If there's a subreaper that would care it
would be easy enough to add a prctl() that either just turns back
on SIGCHLD and turns off auto-reaping or a prctl() that just
notifies the subreaper whenever a child is reparented to it.
CLONE_AUTOREAP can be combined with CLONE_PIDFD to allow the parent
to monitor the child's exit via poll() and retrieve exit status via
PIDFD_GET_INFO. Without CLONE_PIDFD it provides a fire-and-forget
pattern. No exit signal is delivered so exit_signal must be zero.
CLONE_THREAD and CLONE_PARENT are rejected: CLONE_THREAD because
autoreap is a process-level property, and CLONE_PARENT because an
autoreap child reparented via CLONE_PARENT could become an
invisible zombie under a parent that never calls wait().
The flag is not inherited by the autoreap process's own children.
Each child that should be autoreaped must be explicitly created
with CLONE_AUTOREAP.
CLONE_NNP:
CLONE_NNP sets no_new_privs on the child at clone time. Unlike
prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS) which a process sets on itself,
CLONE_NNP allows the parent to impose no_new_privs on the child at
creation without affecting the parent's own privileges.
CLONE_THREAD is rejected because threads share credentials.
CLONE_NNP is useful on its own for any spawn-and-sandbox pattern
but was specifically introduced to enable unprivileged usage of
CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL.
CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL:
This flag ties a child's lifetime to the pidfd returned from
clone3(). When the last reference to the struct file created by
clone3() is closed the kernel sends SIGKILL to the child. A pidfd
obtained via pidfd_open() for the same process does not keep the
child alive and does not trigger autokill - only the specific
struct file from clone3() has this property. This is useful for
container runtimes, service managers, and sandboxed subprocess
execution - any scenario where the child must die if the parent
crashes or abandons the pidfd or just wants a throwaway helper
process.
CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL requires both CLONE_PIDFD and CLONE_AUTOREAP.
It requires CLONE_PIDFD because the whole point is tying the
child's lifetime to the pidfd. It requires CLONE_AUTOREAP because a
killed child with no one to reap it would become a zombie - the
primary use case is the parent crashing or abandoning the pidfd so
no one is around to call waitpid(). CLONE_THREAD is rejected
because autokill targets a process not a thread.
If CLONE_NNP is specified together with CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL an
unprivileged user may spawn a process that is autokilled. The child
cannot escalate privileges via setuid/setgid exec after being
spawned. If CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL is specified without CLONE_NNP the
caller must have have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in its user namespace"

Pull vfs xattr updates from Christian Brauner: "This reworks the simple_xattr infrastructure and adds support for user.* extended attributes on sockets. The simple_xattr subsystem currently uses an rbtree protected by a reader-writer spinlock. This series replaces the rbtree with an rhashtable giving O(1) average-case lookup with RCU-based lockless reads. This sped up concurrent access patterns on tmpfs quite a bit and it's an overall easy enough conversion to do and gets rid or rwlock_t. The conversion is done incrementally: a new rhashtable path is added alongside the existing rbtree, consumers are migrated one at a time (shmem, kernfs, pidfs), and then the rbtree code is removed. All three consumers switch from embedded structs to pointer-based lazy allocation so the rhashtable overhead is only paid for inodes that actually use xattrs. With this infrastructure in place the series adds support for user.* xattrs on sockets. Path-based AF_UNIX sockets inherit xattr support from the underlying filesystem (e.g. tmpfs) but sockets in sockfs - that is everything created via socket() including abstract namespace AF_UNIX sockets - had no xattr support at all. The xattr_permission() checks are reworked to allow user.* xattrs on S_IFSOCK inodes. Sockfs sockets get per-inode limits of 128 xattrs and 128KB total value size matching the limits already in use for kernfs. The practical motivation comes from several directions. systemd and GNOME are expanding their use of Varlink as an IPC mechanism. For D-Bus there are tools like dbus-monitor that can observe IPC traffic across the system but this only works because D-Bus has a central broker. For Varlink there is no broker and there is currently no way to identify which sockets speak Varlink. With user.* xattrs on sockets a service can label its socket with the IPC protocol it speaks (e.g., user.varlink=1) and an eBPF program can then selectively capture traffic on those sockets. Enumerating bound sockets via netlink combined with these xattr labels gives a way to discover all Varlink IPC entrypoints for debugging and introspection. Similarly, systemd-journald wants to use xattrs on the /dev/log socket for protocol negotiation to indicate whether RFC 5424 structured syslog is supported or whether only the legacy RFC 3164 format should be used. In containers these labels are particularly useful as high-privilege or more complicated solutions for socket identification aren't available.

pidfds: add coredump_code field to pidfd_info
The struct pidfd_info currently exposes in a field called coredump_signal the
signal number (si_signo) that triggered the dump (for example, 11 for SIGSEGV).
However, it is also valuable to understand the reason why that signal was sent.
This additional context is provided by the signal code (si_code), such as 2 for
SEGV_ACCERR.
Add a new field to struct pidfd_info called coredump_code with the value of
si_code for the benefit of sysadmins who pipe core dumps to user-space programs
for later analysis. The following snippet illustrates a simplified C program
that consumes coredump_signal and coredump_code, and then logs core dump
signals and codes to a file:
int pidfd = (int)atoi(argv[1]);
struct pidfd_info info = {
.mask = PIDFD_INFO_EXIT | PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP,
};
if (ioctl(pidfd, PIDFD_GET_INFO, &info) == 0)
if (info.mask & PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP)
fprintf(f, "PID=%d, si_signo: %d si_code: %d\n",
info.pid, info.coredump_signal, info.coredump_code);
Assuming the program is installed under /usr/local/bin/core-logger, core dump
processing can be enabled by setting /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to
'|/usr/local/bin/dumpstuff %F'.
systemd-coredump(8) already uses pidfds to process core dumps, and it could be
extended to include the values of coredump_code too.

This is useful for container runtimes, service managers, and sandboxed subprocess execution - any scenario where the child must die if the parent crashes or abandons the pidfd. CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL requires both CLONE_PIDFD (the whole point is tying lifetime to the pidfd file) and CLONE_AUTOREAP (a killed child with no one to reap it would become a zombie). CLONE_THREAD is rejected because autokill targets a process not a thread. The clone3 pidfd is identified by the PIDFD_AUTOKILL file flag set on the struct file at clone3() time. The pidfs .release handler checks this flag and sends SIGKILL via do_send_sig_info(SIGKILL, SEND_SIG_PRIV, ...) only when it is set. Files from pidfd_open() or open_by_handle_at() are distinct struct files that do not carry this flag. dup()/fork() share the same struct file so they extend the child's lifetime until the last reference drops. CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL uses a privilege model based on CLONE_NNP: without CLONE_NNP the child could escalate privileges via setuid/setgid exec after being spawned, so the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in its user namespace. With CLONE_NNP the child can never gain new privileges so unprivileged usage is allowed. This is a deliberate departure from the pdeath_signal model which is reset during secureexec and commit_creds() rendering it useless for container runtimes that need to deprivilege themselves.

pidfs: adapt to rhashtable-based simple_xattrs
Adapt pidfs to use the rhashtable-based xattr path by switching from a dedicated slab cache to simple_xattrs_alloc(). Previously pidfs used a custom kmem_cache (pidfs_xattr_cachep) that allocated a struct containing an embedded simple_xattrs plus simple_xattrs_init(). Replace this with simple_xattrs_alloc() which combines kzalloc + rhashtable_init, and drop the dedicated slab cache entirely. Use simple_xattr_free_rcu() for replaced xattr entries to allow concurrent RCU readers to finish.

- Fix an uninitialized variable in file_getattr().
The flags_valid field wasn't initialized before calling
vfs_fileattr_get(), triggering KMSAN uninit-value reports in fuse
- Fix writeback wakeup and logging timeouts when DETECT_HUNG_TASK is
not enabled.
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs is 0 in that case causing spurious

- Add missing kernel-doc description for the @private parameter in
iomap_readahead()
- Fix mount namespace creation to hold namespace_sem across the mount
copy in create_new_namespace().
The previous drop-and-reacquire pattern was fragile and failed to
clean up mount propagation links if the real rootfs was a shared or
dependent mount
- Fix /proc mount iteration where m->index wasn't updated when
m->show() overflows, causing a restart to repeatedly show the same

- Return EFSCORRUPTED instead of ENOSPC in minix_new_inode() when the
inode number is out of range
- Fix unshare(2) when CLONE_NEWNS is set and current->fs isn't shared.
copy_mnt_ns() received the live fs_struct so if a subsequent
namespace creation failed the rollback would leave pwd and root
pointing to detached mounts. Always allocate a new fs_struct when
CLONE_NEWNS is requested
- fserror bug fixes:
- Remove the unused fsnotify_sb_error() helper now that all callers
have been converted to fserror_report_metadata
- Fix a lockdep splat in fserror_report() where igrab() takes
inode::i_lock which can be held in IRQ context.
Replace igrab() with a direct i_count bump since filesystems
should not report inodes that are about to be freed or not yet
exposed
- Handle error pointer in procfs for try_lookup_noperm()

Pull more misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Optimize close_range() from O(range size) to O(active FDs) by using
find_next_bit() on the open_fds bitmap instead of linearly scanning
the entire requested range. This is a significant improvement for
large-range close operations on sparse file descriptor tables.
- Add FS_XFLAG_VERITY file attribute for fs-verity files, retrievable
via FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and file_getattr(). The flag is read-only.
Add tracepoints for fs-verity enable and verify operations,
replacing the previously removed debug printk's.
- Prevent nfsd from exporting special kernel filesystems like pidfs
and nsfs. These filesystems have custom ->open() and ->permission()
export methods that are designed for open_by_handle_at(2) only and
are incompatible with nfsd. Update the exportfs documentation
accordingly.
Fixes:
- Fix KMSAN uninit-value in ovl_fill_real() where strcmp() was used
on a non-null-terminated decrypted directory entry name from
fscrypt. This triggered on encrypted lower layers when the
decrypted name buffer contained uninitialized tail data.
The fix also adds VFS-level name_is_dot(), name_is_dotdot(), and
name_is_dot_dotdot() helpers, replacing various open-coded "." and
".." checks across the tree.
- Fix read-only fsflags not being reset together with xflags in
vfs_fileattr_set(). Currently harmless since no read-only xflags
overlap with flags, but this would cause inconsistencies for any
future shared read-only flag
- Return -EREMOTE instead of -ESRCH from PIDFD_GET_INFO when the
target process is in a different pid namespace. This lets userspace
distinguish "process exited" from "process in another namespace",
matching glibc's pidfd_getpid() behavior
Cleanups:
- Use C-string literals in the Rust seq_file bindings, replacing the
kernel::c_str!() macro (available since Rust 1.77)
- Fix typo in d_walk_ret enum comment, add porting notes for the
readlink_copy() calling convention change"

pidfs: convert rb-tree to rhashtable
Mateusz reported performance penalties [1] during task creation because pidfs uses pidmap_lock to add elements into the rbtree. Switch to an rhashtable to have separate fine-grained locking and to decouple from pidmap_lock moving all heavy manipulations outside of it. Convert the pidfs inode-to-pid mapping from an rb-tree with seqcount protection to an rhashtable. This removes the global pidmap_lock contention from pidfs_ino_get_pid() lookups and allows the hashtable insert to happen outside the pidmap_lock. pidfs_add_pid() is split. pidfs_prepare_pid() allocates inode number and initializes pid fields and is called inside pidmap_lock. pidfs_add_pid() inserts pid into rhashtable and is called outside pidmap_lock. Insertion into the rhashtable can fail and memory allocation may happen so we need to drop the spinlock. To guard against accidently opening an already reaped task pidfs_ino_get_pid() uses additional checks beyond pid_vnr(). If pid->attr is PIDFS_PID_DEAD or NULL the pid either never had a pidfd or it already went through pidfs_exit() aka the process as already reaped. If pid->attr is valid check PIDFS_ATTR_BIT_EXIT to figure out whether the task has exited. This slightly changes visibility semantics: pidfd creation is denied after pidfs_exit() runs, which is just before the pid number is removed from the via free_pid(). That should not be an issue though.

pidfs: return -EREMOTE when PIDFD_GET_INFO is called on another ns
Currently it is not possible to distinguish between the case where a
process has already exited and the case where a process is in a
different namespace, as both return -ESRCH.
glibc's pidfd_getpid() procfs-based implementation returns -EREMOTE
in the latter, so that distinguishing the two is possible, as the
fdinfo in procfs will list '0' as the PID in that case:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pidfd_getpid.c;h=860829cf07da2267484299ccb02861822c0d07b4;hb=HEAD#l121
Change the error code so that the kernel also returns -EREMOTE in
that case.

pidfs: protect PIDFD_GET_* ioctls() via ifdef
We originally protected PIDFD_GET_<ns-type>_NAMESPACE ioctls() through
ifdefs and recent rework made it possible to drop them. There was an
oversight though. When the relevant namespace is turned off ns->ops will
be NULL so even though opening a file descriptor is perfectly legitimate
it would fail during inode eviction when the file was closed.
The simple fix would be to check ns->ops for NULL and continue allow to
retrieve namespace fds from pidfds but we don't allow retrieving them
when the relevant namespace type is turned off. So keep the
simplification but add the ifdefs back in.

"Features:
- Expose coredump signal via pidfd
Expose the signal that caused the coredump through the pidfd
interface. The recent changes to rework coredump handling to rely
on unix sockets are in the process of being used in systemd. The
previous systemd coredump container interface requires the coredump
file descriptor and basic information including the signal number
to be sent to the container. This means the signal number needs to
be available before sending the coredump to the container.
- Add supported_mask field to pidfd
Add a new supported_mask field to struct pidfd_info that indicates
which information fields are supported by the running kernel. This
allows userspace to detect feature availability without relying on
error codes or kernel version checks.
Cleanups:
- Drop struct pidfs_exit_info and prepare to drop exit_info pointer,
simplifying the internal publication mechanism for exit and
coredump information retrievable via the pidfd ioctl
- Use guard() for task_lock in pidfs
- Reduce wait_pidfd lock scope

pidfd: add a new supported_mask field
Some of the future fields in struct pidfd_info can be optional. If the kernel has nothing to emit in that field, then it doesn't set the flag in the reply. This presents a problem: There is currently no way to know what mask flags the kernel supports since one can't always count on them being in the reply. Add a new PIDFD_INFO_SUPPORTED_MASK flag and field that the kernel can set in the reply. Userspace can use this to determine if the fields it requires from the kernel are supported. This also gives us a way to deprecate fields in the future, if that should become necessary.

When PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP is requested we raise it unconditionally in the returned mask even if no coredump actually did take place.

Merge tag 'namespace-6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace infrastructure of the kernel. Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so on. We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up. The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy. The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum() and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about. Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do for e.g., files. In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system call. Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the concept to all other namespace types. The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree works completely locklessly. This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct mnt_namespace itself. There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very useful. This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis. As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive, meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle. Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode the file handle. Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate /proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the namespace based on a pidfd already. It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any resources and to compare them trivially. Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant namespace. The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles" * tag 'namespace-6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (65 commits) ns: drop assert ns: move ns type into struct ns_common nstree: make struct ns_tree private ns: add ns_debug() ns: simplify ns_common_init() further cgroup: add missing ns_common include ns: use inode initializer for initial namespaces selftests/namespaces: verify initial namespace inode numbers ns: rename to __ns_ref nsfs: port to ns_ref_*() helpers net: port to ns_ref_*() helpers uts: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ipv4: use check_net() net: use check_net() net-sysfs: use check_net() user: port to ns_ref_*() helpers time: port to ns_ref_*() helpers pid: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ipc: port to ns_ref_*() helpers cgroup: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ... |

Merge tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
limit the memory size
- Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()
Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets
- Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option
Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
been constructed)
This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:
* In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
containers would fail to mount procfs)
But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
just one-shot this using mount(2)
* Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)
While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
of unfortunate
Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
using fsconfig(2):
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");
Cleanups:
- Remove the last references to EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK
- Make file_remove_privs_flags() static
- Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN when GFP_NOWAIT is used
- Use try_cmpxchg() in start_dir_add()

- Replace offsetof() with struct_size() in ioctl_file_dedupe_range()
- Remove vfs_ioctl() export
- Replace rwlock() with spinlock in epoll code as rwlock causes
priority inversion on preempt rt kernels

in may_open()
- Use struct_size() in dir_add() in the initramfs code

- Rename generic_delete_inode() to inode_just_drop() and
generic_drop_inode() to inode_generic_drop()
- Remove unused arguments from fcntl_{g,s}et_rw_hint()
Fixes:
- Document @name parameter for name_contains_dotdot() helper
- Fix spelling mistake
- Always return zero from replace_fd() instead of the file descriptor
number
- Limit the size for copy_file_range() in compat mode to prevent a
signed overflow
- Fix debugfs mount options not being applied
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in minixfs
- Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in cramfs
- Don't trigger automounts with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV
If openat2() was called with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV it didn't traverse
through automounts, but could still trigger them
- Add FL_RECLAIM flag to show_fl_flags() macro so it appears in
tracepoints

mm: update coredump logic to correctly use bitmap mm flags
The coredump logic is slightly different from other users in that it both stores mm flags and additionally sets and gets using masks. Since the MMF_DUMPABLE_* flags must remain as they are for uABI reasons, and of course these are within the first 32-bits of the flags, it is reasonable to provide access to these in the same fashion so this logic can all still keep working as it has been. Therefore, introduce coredump-specific helpers __mm_flags_get_dumpable() and __mm_flags_set_mask_dumpable() for this purpose, and update all core dump users of mm flags to use these.

The leak occurs because pidfd_info() obtains a task_struct via
get_pid_task() but never calls put_task_struct() to drop the reference,
leaving task->usage unbalanced.
Fix the issue by adding '__free(put_task) = NULL' to the local variable
'task', ensuring that put_task_struct() is automatically invoked when
the variable goes out of scope.

Pull pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:
- persistent info
Persist exit and coredump information independent of whether anyone
currently holds a pidfd for the struct pid.
The current scheme allocated pidfs dentries on-demand repeatedly.
This scheme is reaching it's limits as it makes it impossible to pin
information that needs to be available after the task has exited or
coredumped and that should not be lost simply because the pidfd got
closed temporarily. The next opener should still see the stashed
information.
This is also a prerequisite for supporting extended attributes on
pidfds to allow attaching meta information to them.
If someone opens a pidfd for a struct pid a pidfs dentry is allocated
and stashed in pid->stashed. Once the last pidfd for the struct pid
is closed the pidfs dentry is released and removed from pid->stashed.
So if 10 callers create a pidfs dentry for the same struct pid
sequentially, i.e., each closing the pidfd before the other creates a
new one then a new pidfs dentry is allocated every time.
Because multiple tasks acquiring and releasing a pidfd for the same
struct pid can race with each another a task may still find a valid
pidfs entry from the previous task in pid->stashed and reuse it. Or
it might find a dead dentry in there and fail to reuse it and so
stashes a new pidfs dentry. Multiple tasks may race to stash a new
pidfs dentry but only one will succeed, the other ones will put their
dentry.
The current scheme aims to ensure that a pidfs dentry for a struct
pid can only be created if the task is still alive or if a pidfs
dentry already existed before the task was reaped and so exit
information has been was stashed in the pidfs inode.
That's great except that it's buggy. If a pidfs dentry is stashed in
pid->stashed after pidfs_exit() but before __unhash_process() is
called we will return a pidfd for a reaped task without exit
information being available.
The pidfds_pid_valid() check does not guard against this race as it
doens't sync at all with pidfs_exit(). The pid_has_task() check might
be successful simply because we're before __unhash_process() but
after pidfs_exit().
Introduce a new scheme where the lifetime of information associated
with a pidfs entry (coredump and exit information) isn't bound to the
lifetime of the pidfs inode but the struct pid itself.
The first time a pidfs dentry is allocated for a struct pid a struct
pidfs_attr will be allocated which will be used to store exit and
coredump information.
If all pidfs for the pidfs dentry are closed the dentry and inode can
be cleaned up but the struct pidfs_attr will stick until the struct
pid itself is freed. This will ensure minimal memory usage while
persisting relevant information.
The new scheme has various advantages. First, it allows to close the
race where we end up handing out a pidfd for a reaped task for which
no exit information is available. Second, it minimizes memory usage.
Third, it allows to remove complex lifetime tracking via dentries
when registering a struct pid with pidfs. There's no need to get or
put a reference. Instead, the lifetime of exit and coredump
information associated with a struct pid is bound to the lifetime of
struct pid itself.
- extended attributes
Now that we have a way to persist information for pidfs dentries we
can start supporting extended attributes on pidfds. This will allow
userspace to attach meta information to tasks.
One natural extension would be to introduce a custom pidfs.* extended
attribute space and allow for the inheritance of extended attributes
across fork() and exec().
The first simple scheme will allow privileged userspace to set
trusted extended attributes on pidfs inodes.
- Allow autonomous pidfs file handles
Various filesystems such as pidfs and drm support opening file
handles without having to require a file descriptor to identify the
filesystem. The filesystem are global single instances and can be
trivially identified solely on the information encoded in the file
handle.
This makes it possible to not have to keep or acquire a sentinal file
descriptor just to pass it to open_by_handle_at() to identify the
filesystem. That's especially useful when such sentinel file
descriptor cannot or should not be acquired.
For pidfs this means a file handle can function as full replacement
for storing a pid in a file. Instead a file handle can be stored and
reopened purely based on the file handle.
Such autonomous file handles can be opened with or without specifying
a a file descriptor. If no proper file descriptor is used the
FD_PIDFS_ROOT sentinel must be passed. This allows us to define
further special negative fd sentinels in the future.
Userspace can trivially test for support by trying to open the file
handle with an invalid file descriptor.
- Allow pidfds for reaped tasks with SCM_PIDFD messages
This is a logical continuation of the earlier work to create pidfds
for reaped tasks through the SO_PEERPIDFD socket option merged in
