2014-10-14autofs4: d_manage() should return -EISDIR when appropriate in rcu-walk mode.NeilBrown
If rcu-walk mode we don't *have* to return -EISDIR for non-mount-traps as we will simply drop into REF-walk and handling DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT dentrys the slow way. But it is better if we do when possible. In 'oz_mode', use the same condition as ref-walk: if not a mountpoint, then it must be -EISDIR. In regular mode there are most tests needed. Most of them can be performed without taking any spinlocks. If we find a directory that isn't obviously empty, and isn't mounted on, we need to call 'simple_empty()' which does take a spinlock. If this turned out to hurt performance, some other approach could be found to signal when a directory is known to be empty.

2014-10-14autofs4: allow RCU-walk to walk through autofs4NeilBrown
This series teaches autofs about RCU-walk so that we don't drop straight into REF-walk when we hit an autofs directory, and so that we avoid spinlocks as much as possible when performing an RCU-walk. This is needed so that the benefits of the recent NFS support for RCU-walk are fully available when NFS filesystems are automounted. Patches have been carefully reviewed and tested both with test suites and in production - thanks a lot to Ian Kent for his support there. This patch (of 6): Any attempt to look up a pathname that passes though an autofs4 mount is currently forced out of RCU-walk into REF-walk. This can significantly hurt performance of many-thread work loads on many-core systems, especially if the automounted filesystem supports RCU-walk but doesn't get to benefit from it. So if autofs4_d_manage is called with rcu_walk set, only fail with -ECHILD if it is necessary to wait longer than a spinlock.

2014-05-06autofs: fix lockref lookupIan Kent
autofs needs to be able to see private data dentry flags for its dentrys that are being created but not yet hashed and for its dentrys that have been rmdir()ed but not yet freed. It needs to do this so it can block processes in these states until a status has been returned to indicate the given operation is complete. It does this by keeping two lists, active and expring, of dentrys in this state and uses ->d_release() to keep them stable while it checks the reference count to determine if they should be used. But with the recent lockref changes dentrys being freed sometimes don't transition to a reference count of 0 before being freed so autofs can occassionally use a dentry that is invalid which can lead to a panic.

2012-12-13autofs4 - use simple_empty() for empty directory checkIan Kent
For direct (and offset) mounts, if an automounted mount is manually umounted the trigger mount dentry can appear non-empty causing it to not trigger mounts. This can also happen if there is a file handle leak in a user space automounting application. This happens because, when a ioctl control file handle is opened on the mount, a cursor dentry is created which causes list_empty() to see the dentry as non-empty. Since there is a case where listing the directory of these dentrys is needed, the use of dcache_dir_*() functions for .open() and .release() is needed. Consequently simple_empty() must be used instead of list_empty() when checking for an empty directory.

2012-12-13autofs4 - dont clear DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT on rootless mountIan Kent
The DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT flag is cleared on mount and set on expire for autofs rootless multi-mount dentrys to prevent unnecessary calls to ->d_automount(). Since DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT is always set on autofs dentrys ->d_managed() is always called so the check can be done in ->d_manage() without the need to change the flag. This still avoids unnecessary calls to ->d_automount(), adds negligible overhead and eliminates a seriously ugly check in the expire code.

As a result the definition of the busyness check for all entries was changed to be "actually busy" being an open file or working directory within the automount. But now we have a call back in the follow so the last used update on any access can be re-instated. This requires DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT to always be set.

2011-01-15autofs4: Add d_manage() dentry operationIan Kent
This patch required a previous patch to add the ->d_automount() dentry operation. Add a function to use the newly defined ->d_manage() dentry operation for blocking during mount and expire. Whether the VFS calls the dentry operations d_automount() and d_manage() is controled by the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT and DMANAGED_TRANSIT flags. autofs uses the d_automount() operation to callback to user space to request mount operations and the d_manage() operation to block walks into mounts that are under construction or destruction. In order to prevent these functions from being called unnecessarily the DMANAGED_* flags are cleared for cases which would cause this. In the common case the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT and DMANAGED_TRANSIT flags are both set for dentrys waiting to be mounted. The DMANAGED_TRANSIT flag is cleared upon successful mount request completion and set during expire runs, both during the dentry expire check, and if selected for expire, is left set until a subsequent successful mount request completes. The exception to this is the so-called rootless multi-mount which has no actual mount at its base. In this case the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT flag is cleared upon successful mount request completion as well and set again after a successful expire.

2011-01-15Add a dentry op to allow processes to be held during pathwalk transitDavid Howells
Add a dentry op (d_manage) to permit a filesystem to hold a process and make it sleep when it tries to transit away from one of that filesystem's directories during a pathwalk. The operation is keyed off a new dentry flag (DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT). The filesystem is allowed to be selective about which processes it holds and which it permits to continue on or prohibits from transiting from each flagged directory. This will allow autofs to hold up client processes whilst letting its userspace daemon through to maintain the directory or the stuff behind it or mounted upon it. The ->d_manage() dentry operation: int (*d_manage)(struct path *path, bool mounting_here); takes a pointer to the directory about to be transited away from and a flag indicating whether the transit is undertaken by do_add_mount() or do_move_mount() skipping through a pile of filesystems mounted on a mountpoint. It should return 0 if successful and to let the process continue on its way; -EISDIR to prohibit the caller from skipping to overmounted filesystems or automounting, and to use this directory; or some other error code to return to the user. ->d_manage() is called with namespace_sem writelocked if mounting_here is true and no other locks held, so it may sleep. However, if mounting_here is true, it may not initiate or wait for a mount or unmount upon the parameter directory, even if the act is actually performed by userspace. Within fs/namei.c, follow_managed() is extended to check with d_manage() first on each managed directory, before transiting away from it or attempting to automount upon it. follow_down() is renamed follow_down_one() and should only be used where the filesystem deliberately intends to avoid management steps (e.g. autofs). A new follow_down() is added that incorporates the loop done by all other callers of follow_down() (do_add/move_mount(), autofs and NFSD; whilst AFS, NFS and CIFS do use it, their use is removed by converting them to use d_automount()). The new follow_down() calls d_manage() as appropriate. It also takes an extra parameter to indicate if it is being called from mount code (with namespace_sem writelocked) which it passes to d_manage(). follow_down() ignores automount points so that it can be used to mount on them. __follow_mount_rcu() is made to abort rcu-walk mode if it hits a directory with DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT set on the basis that we're probably going to have to sleep. It would be possible to enter d_manage() in rcu-walk mode too, and have that determine whether to abort or not itself. That would allow the autofs daemon to continue on in rcu-walk mode. Note that DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT on a directory should be cleared when it isn't required as every tranist from that directory will cause d_manage() to be invoked. It can always be set again when necessary. ========================== WHAT THIS MEANS FOR AUTOFS ========================== Autofs currently uses the lookup() inode op and the d_revalidate() dentry op to trigger the automounting of indirect mounts, and both of these can be called with i_mutex held. autofs knows that the i_mutex will be held by the caller in lookup(), and so can drop it before invoking the daemon - but this isn't so for d_revalidate(), since the lock is only held on _some_ of the code paths that call it. This means that autofs can't risk dropping i_mutex from its d_revalidate() function before it calls the daemon. The bug could manifest itself as, for example, a process that's trying to validate an automount dentry that gets made to wait because that dentry is expired and needs cleaning up: mkdir S ffffffff8014e05a 0 32580 24956 Call Trace: [<ffffffff885371fd>] :autofs4:autofs4_wait+0x674/0x897 [<ffffffff80127f7d>] avc_has_perm+0x46/0x58 [<ffffffff8009fdcf>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e [<ffffffff88537be6>] :autofs4:autofs4_expire_wait+0x41/0x6b [<ffffffff88535cfc>] :autofs4:autofs4_revalidate+0x91/0x149 [<ffffffff80036d96>] __lookup_hash+0xa0/0x12f [<ffffffff80057a2f>] lookup_create+0x46/0x80 [<ffffffff800e6e31>] sys_mkdirat+0x56/0xe4 versus the automount daemon which wants to remove that dentry, but can't because the normal process is holding the i_mutex lock: automount D ffffffff8014e05a 0 32581 1 32561 Call Trace: [<ffffffff80063c3f>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x60/0x9b [<ffffffff8000ccf1>] do_path_lookup+0x2ca/0x2f1 [<ffffffff80063c89>] .text.lock.mutex+0xf/0x14 [<ffffffff800e6d55>] do_rmdir+0x77/0xde [<ffffffff8005d229>] tracesys+0x71/0xe0 [<ffffffff8005d28d>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0 which means that the system is deadlocked. This patch allows autofs to hold up normal processes whilst the daemon goes ahead and does things to the dentry tree behind the automouter point without risking a deadlock as almost no locks are held in d_manage() and none in d_automount().

With the recent changes to remove the BKL a mutex was added to the ioctl entry point for calls to the old ioctl interface. This mutex needs to be removed because of the need for the expire ioctl to call back to the daemon to perform a umount and receive a completion status (via another ioctl). This should be fine as the new ioctl interface uses much of the same code and it has been used without a mutex for around a year without issue, as was the original intention.
