Recently we received a patchset that aims to enable file handle encoding and decoding via name_to_handle_at(2) and open_by_handle_at(2). A crucical step in the patch series is how to go from inode number to struct pid without leaking information into unprivileged contexts. The issue is that in order to find a struct pid the pid number in the initial pid namespace must be encoded into the file handle via name_to_handle_at(2). This can be used by containers using a separate pid namespace to learn what the pid number of a given process in the initial pid namespace is. While this is a weak information leak it could be used in various exploits and in general is an ugly wart in the design. To solve this problem a new way is needed to lookup a struct pid based on the inode number allocated for that struct pid. The other part is to remove the custom inode number allocation on 32bit systems that is also an ugly wart that should go away. So, a new scheme is used that I was discusssing with Tejun some time back. A cyclic ida is used for the lower 32 bits and a the high 32 bits are used for the generation number. This gives a 64 bit inode number that is unique on both 32 bit and 64 bit. The lower 32 bit number is recycled slowly and can be used to lookup struct pids.
