[ Upstream commit 93b919da64c15b90953f96a536e5e61df896ca57 ]

symlink body shouldn't be freed without an RCU delay.  Switch debugfs to
-&gt;destroy_inode() and use of call_rcu(); free both the inode and symlink
body in the callback.  Similar to solution for bpf, only here it's even
more obvious that -&gt;evict_inode() can be dropped.

<content type='text'>
commit d88c93f090f708c18195553b352b9f205e65418f upstream.

debugfs_rename() needs to check that the dentries passed into it really
are valid, as sometimes they are not (i.e. if the return value of
another debugfs call is passed into this one.)  So fix this up by
properly checking if the two parent directories are errors (they are
allowed to be NULL), and if the dentry to rename is not NULL or an
error.

<content type='text'>
commit 49d31c2f389acfe83417083e1208422b4091cd9e upstream.

take_dentry_name_snapshot() takes a safe snapshot of dentry name;
if the name is a short one, it gets copied into caller-supplied
structure, otherwise an extra reference to external name is grabbed
(those are never modified).  In either case the pointer to stable
string is stored into the same structure.

dentry must be held by the caller of take_dentry_name_snapshot(),
but may be freely dropped afterwards - the snapshot will stay
until destroyed by release_dentry_name_snapshot().

Intended use:
	struct name_snapshot s;

	take_dentry_name_snapshot(&amp;s, dentry);
	...
	access s.name
	...
	release_dentry_name_snapshot(&amp;s);

Replaces fsnotify_oldname_...(), gets used in fsnotify to obtain the name
to pass down with event.

<title>fs: Better permission checking for submounts</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d3381fab77cbca6f9664cf49b3f5dd3171f1f6d3</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 93faccbbfa958a9668d3ab4e30f38dd205cee8d8 upstream.

To support unprivileged users mounting filesystems two permission
checks have to be performed: a test to see if the user allowed to
create a mount in the mount namespace, and a test to see if
the user is allowed to access the specified filesystem.

The automount case is special in that mounting the original filesystem
grants permission to mount the sub-filesystems, to any user who
happens to stumble across the their mountpoint and satisfies the
ordinary filesystem permission checks.

Attempting to handle the automount case by using override_creds
almost works.  It preserves the idea that permission to mount
the original filesystem is permission to mount the sub-filesystem.
Unfortunately using override_creds messes up the filesystems
ordinary permission checks.

Solve this by being explicit that a mount is a submount by introducing
vfs_submount, and using it where appropriate.

vfs_submount uses a new mount internal mount flags MS_SUBMOUNT, to let
sget and friends know that a mount is a submount so they can take appropriate
action.

sget and sget_userns are modified to not perform any permission checks
on submounts.

follow_automount is modified to stop using override_creds as that
has proven problemantic.

do_mount is modified to always remove the new MS_SUBMOUNT flag so
that we know userspace will never by able to specify it.

autofs4 is modified to stop using current_real_cred that was put in
there to handle the previous version of submount permission checking.

cifs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to vfs_submount.

debugfs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to
trace_automount by adding a new parameter.  To make this change easier
a new typedef debugfs_automount_t is introduced to capture the type of
the debugfs automount function.

Fixes: 069d5ac9ae0d ("autofs:  Fix automounts by using current_real_cred()-&gt;uid")
Fixes: aeaa4a79ff6a ("fs: Call d_automount with the filesystems creds")

current_fs_time() uses struct super_block* as an argument.
As per Linus's suggestion, this is changed to take struct
inode* as a parameter instead. This is because the function
is primarily meant for vfs inode timestamps.
Also the function was renamed as per Arnd's suggestion.

Change all calls to current_fs_time() to use the new
current_time() function instead. current_fs_time() will be
deleted.

<title>libfs: support RENAME_NOREPLACE in simple_rename()</title>

<content type='text'>
This is trivial to do:

 - add flags argument to simple_rename()
 - check if flags doesn't have any other than RENAME_NOREPLACE
 - assign simple_rename() to .rename2 instead of .rename

Filesystems converted:

hugetlbfs, ramfs, bpf.

Debugfs uses simple_rename() to implement debugfs_rename(), which is for
debugfs instances to rename files internally, not for userspace filesystem
access.  For this case pass zero flags to simple_rename().

<title>debugfs: introduce a public file_operations accessor</title>

<id>urn:sha1:86f0e06767dda7863d6d2a8f0b3b857e6ea876a0</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces an accessor which can be used
by the users of debugfs (drivers, fs, ...) to get the
original file_operations struct. It also removes the
REAL_FOPS_DEREF macro in file.c and converts the code
to use the public version.

Previously, REAL_FOPS_DEREF was only available within
the file.c of debugfs. But having a public getter
available for debugfs users is important as some
drivers (carl9170 and b43) use the pointer of the
original file_operations in conjunction with container_of()
within their debugfs implementations.
