Commit Message

Mickaël Salaün March 9, 2023, 4:54 p.m. UTC
hostfs creates a new inode for each opened or created file, which created
useless inode allocations and forbade identifying a host file with a kernel
inode.

Fix this uncommon filesystem behavior by tying kernel inodes to host
file's inode and device IDs.  Even if the host filesystem inodes may be
recycled, this cannot happen while a file referencing it is open, which
is the case with hostfs.  It should be noted that hostfs inode IDs may
not be unique for the same hostfs superblock because multiple host's
(backed) superblocks may be used.

Delete inodes when dropping them to force backed host's file descriptors
closing.

This enables to entirely remove ARCH_EPHEMERAL_INODES, and then makes
Landlock fully supported by UML.  This is very useful for testing
(ongoing and backported) changes.

These changes also factor out and simplify some helpers thanks to the
new hostfs_inode_update() and the hostfs_iget() revamp: read_name(),
hostfs_create(), hostfs_lookup(), hostfs_mknod(), and
hostfs_fill_sb_common().

A following commit with new Landlock tests check this new hostfs inode
consistency.

Removing ARCH_EPHEMERAL_INODES should be a patch on its own, IMHO.

I'm not sure whether this patch qualifies as stable material.
While I fully agree that the current behavoir is odd, nothing user visible
is really broken so far.

Other than that, patch looks good to me.

OK, I'll do that in the next series.

I added the ARCH_EPHEMERAL_INODES knob to avoid unexpected behavior. 
Thanks to that there is no regression for Landlock, but it's unfortunate 
that we could not use UML to test old kernel versions. According to this 
odd behavior, I guess some user space may not work with hostfs because 
of this issue, hence this Cc. I can remove it if you think it is not the 
case.

Well, I added ARCH_EPHEMERAL_INODES for Landlock specifically because of 
this hostfs inconsistency, and it is not used by anything else in the 
kernel: https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/cb2c7d1a1776
I then think it makes sense to remove this Kconfig option with the 
hostfs change. Moreover, this protects against erroneously backporting 
the ARCH_EPHEMERAL_INODES change, which would silently introduce a bug 
for Landlock.

Can I add your Signed-off-by to this patch (without touching 
ARCH_EPHEMERAL_INODES changes, but removing the Cc stable)?

Are you OK for me to push this patch (with the whole series) in the 
Landlock and next tree?

I'll send a new series splitting the Landlock tests to make a patch 
dedicated to Landlock with hostfs tests (not backported), and with 
another patch containing backportable and independent new Landlock FS tests.

I hoped that this patch solved an issue when testing the
inode_setsecurity and inode_getsecurity combination. Unfortunately, it
does not work, since after inode_setsecurity the inode is dropped. At
the time inode_getsecurity is called, the security blob is lost.

Indeed, this is because inode[sg]etsecurity() rely on inode's xattr, 
which are not handled by hostfs. Why not simply use overlayfs with an 
upper tmpfs that supports xattr? This patch might be needed to such 
scenario though.
