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")

    &lt; XFS has gained super CoW powers! &gt;
     ----------------------------------

Pull XFS support for shared data extents from Dave Chinner:
 "This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle.  This
  pullreq contains the new shared data extents feature for XFS.

  Given the complexity and size of this change I am expecting - like the
  addition of reverse mapping last cycle - that there will be some
  follow-up bug fixes and cleanups around the -rc3 stage for issues that
  I'm sure will show up once the code hits a wider userbase.

  What it is:

  At the most basic level we are simply adding shared data extents to
  XFS - i.e. a single extent on disk can now have multiple owners. To do
  this we have to add new on-disk features to both track the shared
  extents and the number of times they've been shared. This is done by
  the new "refcount" btree that sits in every allocation group. When we
  share or unshare an extent, this tree gets updated.

  Along with this new tree, the reverse mapping tree needs to be updated
  to track each owner or a shared extent. This also needs to be updated
  ever share/unshare operation. These interactions at extent allocation
  and freeing time have complex ordering and recovery constraints, so
  there's a significant amount of new intent-based transaction code to
  ensure that operations are performed atomically from both the runtime
  and integrity/crash recovery perspectives.

  We also need to break sharing when writes hit a shared extent - this
  is where the new copy-on-write implementation comes in. We allocate
  new storage and copy the original data along with the overwrite data
  into the new location. We only do this for data as we don't share
  metadata at all - each inode has it's own metadata that tracks the
  shared data extents, the extents undergoing CoW and it's own private
  extents.

  Of course, being XFS, nothing is simple - we use delayed allocation
  for CoW similar to how we use it for normal writes. ENOSPC is a
  significant issue here - we build on the reservation code added in
  4.8-rc1 with the reverse mapping feature to ensure we don't get
  spurious ENOSPC issues part way through a CoW operation. These
  mechanisms also help minimise fragmentation due to repeated CoW
  operations. To further reduce fragmentation overhead, we've also
  introduced a CoW extent size hint, which indicates how large a region
  we should allocate when we execute a CoW operation.

  With all this functionality in place, we can hook up .copy_file_range,
  .clone_file_range and .dedupe_file_range and we gain all the
  capabilities of reflink and other vfs provided functionality that
  enable manipulation to shared extents. We also added a fallocate mode
  that explicitly unshares a range of a file, which we implemented as an
  explicit CoW of all the shared extents in a file.

  As such, it's a huge chunk of new functionality with new on-disk
  format features and internal infrastructure. It warns at mount time as
  an experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all
  new on-disk features until they stabilise). We have not released
  userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
  download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
  access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
  Initial userspace support will be released at the same time the kernel
  with this code in it is released.

  The new code causes 5-6 new failures with xfstests - these aren't
  serious functional failures but things the output of tests changing
  slightly due to perturbations in layouts, space usage, etc. OTOH,
  we've added 150+ new tests to xfstests that specifically exercise this
  new functionality so it's got far better test coverage than any
  functionality we've previously added to XFS.

  Darrick has done a pretty amazing job getting us to this stage, and
  special mention also needs to go to Christoph (review, testing,
  improvements and bug fixes) and Brian (caught several intricate bugs
  during review) for the effort they've also put in.

  Summary:

   - unshare range (FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE) support for fallocate

   - copy-on-write extent size hints (FS_XFLAG_COWEXTSIZE) for fsxattr
     interface

   - shared extent support for XFS

   - copy-on-write support for shared extents

   - copy_file_range support

   - clone_file_range support (implements reflink)

   - dedupe_file_range support

   - defrag support for reverse mapping enabled filesystems"

<content type='text'>
This patch allows flock, posix locks, ofd locks and leases to work
correctly on overlayfs.

Instead of using the underlying inode for storing lock context use the
overlay inode.  This allows locks to be persistent across copy-up.

This is done by introducing locks_inode() helper and using it instead of
file_inode() to get the inode in locking code.  For non-overlayfs the two
are equivalent, except for an extra pointer dereference in locks_inode().

Since lock operations are in "struct file_operations" we must also make
sure not to call underlying filesystem's lock operations.  Introcude a
super block flag MS_NOREMOTELOCK to this effect.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this update was stabilized before the merge window and
  appeared in -next.  The "device dax" implementation was revised this
  week in response to review feedback, and to address failures detected
  by the recently expanded ndctl unit test suite.

  Not included in this pull request are two dax topic branches (dax
  error handling, and dax radix-tree locking).  These topics were
  deferred to get a few more days of -next integration testing, and to
  coordinate a branch baseline with Ted and the ext4 tree.  Vishal and
  Ross will send the error handling and locking topics respectively in
  the next few days.

  This branch has received a positive build result from the kbuild robot
  across 226 configs.

  Summary:

   - Device DAX for persistent memory: Device DAX is the device-centric
     analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory
     ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening
     file system.  Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable.
     Specifically this interface:

      a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size
         (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.

      b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what
         fault scenarios are supported.

     Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
     targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature
     differentiated memory ranges.

   - Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats.
     This enables management of these first generation devices until a
     unified DSM specification materializes.

   - Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm
     identifier format.

   - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem"
