proc: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mount points

2015-07-01T15:36:41Z

Add a new function proc_create_mount_point that when used to creates a directory that can not be added to. Add a new function is_empty_pde to test if a function is a mount point. Update the code to use make_empty_dir_inode when reporting a permanently empty directory to the vfs. Update the code to not allow adding to permanently empty directories. Update /proc/openprom and /proc/fs/nfsd to be permanently empty directories. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

fs/proc: use a rb tree for the directory entries

2014-12-11T01:41:09Z

When a lot of netdevices are created, one of the bottleneck is the creation of proc entries. This serie aims to accelerate this part. The current implementation for the directories in /proc is using a single linked list. This is slow when handling directories with large numbers of entries (eg netdevice-related entries when lots of tunnels are opened). This patch replaces this linked list by a red-black tree. Here are some numbers: dummy30000.batch contains 30 000 times 'link add type dummy'. Before the patch: $ time ip -b dummy30000.batch real 2m31.950s user 0m0.440s sys 2m21.440s $ time rmmod dummy real 1m35.764s user 0m0.000s sys 1m24.088s After the patch: $ time ip -b dummy30000.batch real 2m0.874s user 0m0.448s sys 1m49.720s $ time rmmod dummy real 1m13.988s user 0m0.000s sys 1m1.008s The idea of improving this part was suggested by Thierry Herbelot.

bury struct proc_ns in fs/proc

2014-12-04T19:34:54Z

a) make get_proc_ns() return a pointer to struct ns_common b) mirror ns_ops in dentry->d_fsdata of ns dentries, so that is_mnt_ns_file() could get away with fewer dereferences. That way struct proc_ns becomes invisible outside of fs/proc/*.c Signed-off-by: Al Viro

proc/maps: replace proc_maps_private->pid with "struct inode *inode"

2014-10-10T02:25:50Z

m_start() can use get_proc_task() instead, and "struct inode *" provides more potentially useful info, see the next changes.

fs/proc/task_mmu.c: shift mm_access() from m_start() to proc_maps_open()

2014-10-10T02:25:48Z

A simple test-case from Kirill Shutemov cat /proc/self/maps >/dev/null chmod +x /proc/self/net/packet exec /proc/self/net/packet makes lockdep unhappy, cat/exec take seq_file->lock + cred_guard_mutex in the opposite order. It's a false positive and probably we should not allow "chmod +x" on proc files. Still I think that we should avoid mm_access() and cred_guard_mutex in sys_read() paths, security checking should happen at open time. Besides, this doesn't even look right if the task changes its ->mm between m_stop() and m_start(). Add the new "mm_struct *mm" member into struct proc_maps_private and change proc_maps_open() to initialize it using proc_mem_open(). Change m_start() to use priv->mm if atomic_inc_not_zero(mm_users) succeeds or return NULL (eof) otherwise. The only complication is that proc_maps_open() users should additionally do mmdrop() in fop->release(), add the new proc_map_release() helper for that. Note: this is the user-visible change, if the task execs after open("maps") the new ->mm won't be visible via this file. I hope this is fine, and this matches /proc/pid/mem bahaviour.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "This is a bunch of small changes built against 3.16-rc6. The most significant change for users is the first patch which makes setns drmatically faster by removing unneded rcu handling. The next chunk of changes are so that "mount -o remount,.." will not allow the user namespace root to drop flags on a mount set by the system wide root. Aks this forces read-only mounts to stay read-only, no-dev mounts to stay no-dev, no-suid mounts to stay no-suid, no-exec mounts to stay no exec and it prevents unprivileged users from messing with a mounts atime settings. I have included my test case as the last patch in this series so people performing backports can verify this change works correctly. The next change fixes a bug in NFS that was discovered while auditing nsproxy users for the first optimization. Today you can oops the kernel by reading /proc/fs/nfsfs/{servers,volumes} if you are clever with pid namespaces. I rebased and fixed the build of the !CONFIG_NFS_FS case yesterday when a build bot caught my typo. Given that no one to my knowledge bases anything on my tree fixing the typo in place seems more responsible that requiring a typo-fix to be backported as well. The last change is a small semantic cleanup introducing /proc/thread-self and pointing /proc/mounts and /proc/net at it. This prevents several kinds of problemantic corner cases. It is a user-visible change so it has a minute chance of causing regressions so the change to /proc/mounts and /proc/net are individual one line commits that can be trivially reverted. Unfortunately I lost and could not find the email of the original reporter so he is not credited. From at least one perspective this change to /proc/net is a refgression fix to allow pthread /proc/net uses that were broken by the introduction of the network namespace" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: proc: Point /proc/mounts at /proc/thread-self/mounts instead of /proc/self/mounts proc: Point /proc/net at /proc/thread-self/net instead of /proc/self/net proc: Implement /proc/thread-self to point at the directory of the current thread proc: Have net show up under /proc//task/ NFS: Fix /proc/fs/nfsfs/servers and /proc/fs/nfsfs/volumes mnt: Add tests for unprivileged remount cases that have found to be faulty mnt: Change the default remount atime from relatime to the existing value mnt: Correct permission checks in do_remount mnt: Move the test for MNT_LOCK_READONLY from change_mount_flags into do_remount mnt: Only change user settable mount flags in remount namespaces: Use task_lock and not rcu to protect nsproxy
