1064f874ab mnt: Tuck mounts under others instead of creating shadow/side mounts.
Ever since mount propagation was introduced in cases where a mount in
propagated to parent mount mountpoint pair that is already in use the
code has placed the new mount behind the old mount in the mount hash
table.

This implementation detail is problematic as it allows creating
arbitrary length mount hash chains.

Furthermore it invalidates the constraint maintained elsewhere in the
mount code that a parent mount and a mountpoint pair will have exactly
one mount upon them.  Making it hard to deal with and to talk about
this special case in the mount code.

Modify mount propagation to notice when there is already a mount at
the parent mount and mountpoint where a new mount is propagating to
and place that preexisting mount on top of the new mount.

Modify unmount propagation to notice when a mount that is being
unmounted has another mount on top of it (and no other children), and
to replace the unmounted mount with the mount on top of it.

Move the MNT_UMUONT test from __lookup_mnt_last into
__propagate_umount as that is the only call of __lookup_mnt_last where
MNT_UMOUNT may be set on any mount visible in the mount hash table.

These modifications allow:
 - __lookup_mnt_last to be removed.
 - attach_shadows to be renamed __attach_mnt and its shadow
   handling to be removed.
 - commit_tree to be simplified
 - copy_tree to be simplified

The result is an easier to understand tree of mounts that does not
allow creation of arbitrary length hash chains in the mount hash table.

The result is also a very slight userspace visible difference in semantics.
The following two cases now behave identically, where before order
mattered:

case 1: (explicit user action)
	B is a slave of A
	mount something on A/a , it will propagate to B/a
	and than mount something on B/a

case 2: (tucked mount)
	B is a slave of A
	mount something on B/a
	and than mount something on A/a

Histroically umount A/a would fail in case 1 and succeed in case 2.
Now umount A/a succeeds in both configurations.

This very small change in semantics appears if anything to be a bug
fix to me and my survey of userspace leads me to believe that no programs
will notice or care of this subtle semantic change.

v2: Updated to mnt_change_mountpoint to not call dput or mntput
and instead to decrement the counts directly.  It is guaranteed
that there will be other references when mnt_change_mountpoint is
called so this is safe.

v3: Moved put_mountpoint under mount_lock in attach_recursive_mnt
    As the locking in fs/namespace.c changed between v2 and v3.

v4: Reworked the logic in propagate_mount_busy and __propagate_umount
    that detects when a mount completely covers another mount.

v5: Removed unnecessary tests whose result is alwasy true in
    find_topper and attach_recursive_mnt.

v6: Document the user space visible semantic difference.

d29216842a mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mounts
CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> pointed out that the semantics
of shared subtrees make it possible to create an exponentially
increasing number of mounts in a mount namespace.

    mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2
    mount --make-rshared /
    for i in $(seq 1 20) ; do mount --bind /tmp/1 /tmp/2 ; done

Will create create 2^20 or 1048576 mounts, which is a practical problem
as some people have managed to hit this by accident.

As such CVE-2016-6213 was assigned.

Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> described the situation for autofs users
as follows:

> The number of mounts for direct mount maps is usually not very large because of
> the way they are implemented, large direct mount maps can have performance
> problems. There can be anywhere from a few (likely case a few hundred) to less
> than 10000, plus mounts that have been triggered and not yet expired.
>
> Indirect mounts have one autofs mount at the root plus the number of mounts that
> have been triggered and not yet expired.
>
> The number of autofs indirect map entries can range from a few to the common
> case of several thousand and in rare cases up to between 30000 and 50000. I've
> not heard of people with maps larger than 50000 entries.
>
> The larger the number of map entries the greater the possibility for a large
> number of active mounts so it's not hard to expect cases of a 1000 or somewhat
> more active mounts.

So I am setting the default number of mounts allowed per mount
namespace at 100,000.  This is more than enough for any use case I
know of, but small enough to quickly stop an exponential increase
in mounts.  Which should be perfect to catch misconfigurations and
malfunctioning programs.

For anyone who needs a higher limit this can be changed by writing
to the new /proc/sys/fs/mount-max sysctl.

f2d0a123bc mnt: Clarify and correct the disconnect logic in umount_tree
rmdir mntpoint will result in an infinite loop when there is
a mount locked on the mountpoint in another mount namespace.

This is because the logic to test to see if a mount should
be disconnected in umount_tree is buggy.

Move the logic to decide if a mount should remain connected to
it's mountpoint into it's own function disconnect_mount so that
clarity of expression instead of terseness of expression becomes
a virtue.

When the conditions where it is invalid to leave a mount connected
are first ruled out, the logic for deciding if a mount should
be disconnected becomes much clearer and simpler.

ce07d891a0 mnt: Honor MNT_LOCKED when detaching mounts
Modify umount(MNT_DETACH) to keep mounts in the hash table that are
locked to their parent mounts, when the parent is lazily unmounted.

In mntput_no_expire detach the children from the hash table, depending
on mnt_pin_kill in cleanup_mnt to decrement the mnt_count of the children.

In __detach_mounts if there are any mounts that have been unmounted
but still are on the list of mounts of a mountpoint, remove their
children from the mount hash table and those children to the unmounted
list so they won't linger potentially indefinitely waiting for their
final mntput, now that the mounts serve no purpose.

0c56fe3142 mnt: Don't propagate unmounts to locked mounts
If the first mount in shared subtree is locked don't unmount the
shared subtree.

This is ensured by walking through the mounts parents before children
and marking a mount as unmountable if it is not locked or it is locked
but it's parent is marked.

This allows recursive mount detach to propagate through a set of
mounts when unmounting them would not reveal what is under any locked
mount.

5d88457eb5 mnt: On an unmount propagate clearing of MNT_LOCKED
A prerequisite of calling umount_tree is that the point where the tree
is mounted at is valid to unmount.

If we are propagating the effect of the unmount clear MNT_LOCKED in
every instance where the same filesystem is mounted on the same
mountpoint in the mount tree, as we know (by virtue of the fact
that umount_tree was called) that it is safe to reveal what
is at that mountpoint.

c003b26ff9 mnt: In umount_tree reuse mnt_list instead of mnt_hash
umount_tree builds a list of mounts that need to be unmounted.
Utilize mnt_list for this purpose instead of mnt_hash.  This begins to
allow keeping a mount on the mnt_hash after it is unmounted, which is
necessary for a properly functioning MNT_LOCKED implementation.

The fact that mnt_list is an ordinary list makding available list_move
is nice bonus.

- Mark umount_tree static as it has no callers outside of namespace.c
- Define an enumeration of umount_tree's flags.
- Pass umount_tree's flags in by name

This removes the magic numbers 0, 1 and 2 making the code a little
clearer and makes it possible for there to be lazy unmounts that don't

f2ebb3a921 smarter propagate_mnt()
The current mainline has copies propagated to *all* nodes, then
tears down the copies we made for nodes that do not contain
counterparts of the desired mountpoint.  That sets the right
propagation graph for the copies (at teardown time we move
the slaves of removed node to a surviving peer or directly
to master), but we end up paying a fairly steep price in
useless allocations.  It's fairly easy to create a situation
where N calls of mount(2) create exactly N bindings, with
O(N^2) vfsmounts allocated and freed in process.

Fortunately, it is possible to avoid those allocations/freeings.
The trick is to create copies in the right order and find which
one would've eventually become a master with the current algorithm.
It turns out to be possible in O(nodes getting propagation) time
and with no extra allocations at all.

One part is that we need to make sure that eventual master will be
created before its slaves, so we need to walk the propagation
tree in a different order - by peer groups.  And iterate through
the peers before dealing with the next group.

Another thing is finding the (earlier) copy that will be a master
of one we are about to create; to do that we are (temporary) marking
the masters of mountpoints we are attaching the copies to.

Either we are in a peer of the last mountpoint we'd dealt with,
or we have the following situation: we are attaching to mountpoint M,
the last copy S_0 had been attached to M_0 and there are sequences
S_0...S_n, M_0...M_n such that S_{i+1} is a master of S_{i},
S_{i} mounted on M{i} and we need to create a slave of the first S_{k}
such that M is getting propagation from M_{k}.  It means that the master
of M_{k} will be among the sequence of masters of M.  On the
other hand, the nearest marked node in that sequence will either
be the master of M_{k} or the master of M_{k-1} (the latter -
in the case if M_{k-1} is a slave of something M gets propagation
from, but in a wrong peer group).

So we go through the sequence of masters of M until we find
a marked one (P).  Let N be the one before it.  Then we go through
the sequence of masters of S_0 until we find one (say, S) mounted
on a node D that has P as master and check if D is a peer of N.
If it is, S will be the master of new copy, if not - the master of S
will be.

That's it for the hard part; the rest is fairly simple.  Iterator
is in next_group(), handling of one prospective mountpoint is
propagate_one().

It seems to survive all tests and gives a noticably better performance
than the current mainline for setups that are seriously using shared
subtrees.

4ce5d2b1a8 vfs: Don't copy mount bind mounts of /proc/<pid>/ns/mnt between namespaces
Don't copy bind mounts of /proc/<pid>/ns/mnt between namespaces.
These files hold references to a mount namespace and copying them
between namespaces could result in a reference counting loop.

The current mnt_ns_loop test prevents loops on the assumption that
mounts don't cross between namespaces.  Unfortunately unsharing a
mount namespace and shared substrees can both cause mounts to
propogate between mount namespaces.

Add two flags CL_COPY_UNBINDABLE and CL_COPY_MNT_NS_FILE are added to
control this behavior, and CL_COPY_ALL is redefined as both of them.

132c94e31b vfs: Carefully propogate mounts across user namespaces
As a matter of policy MNT_READONLY should not be changable if the
original mounter had more privileges than creator of the mount
namespace.

Add the flag CL_UNPRIVILEGED to note when we are copying a mount from
a mount namespace that requires more privileges to a mount namespace
that requires fewer privileges.

When the CL_UNPRIVILEGED flag is set cause clone_mnt to set MNT_NO_REMOUNT
if any of the mnt flags that should never be changed are set.

This protects both mount propagation and the initial creation of a less
privileged mount namespace.

An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation.  Also
unbindable mount disallows bind mounts.  The semantics is as follows.

Bind semantics:
  It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount.

Move semantics:
  It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount.

Clone-namespace semantics:
  If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding
  cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too.  Note:
  there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted
  but can be cloned during clone-namespace.

a58b0eb8e6 [PATCH] introduce slave mounts
A slave mount always has a master mount from which it receives
mount/umount events.  Unlike shared mount the event propagation does not
flow from the slave mount to the master.

a05964f391 [PATCH] shared mounts handling: umount
An unmount of a mount creates a umount event on the parent.  If the
parent is a shared mount, it gets propagated to all mounts in the peer
group.

03e06e68ff [PATCH] introduce shared mounts
This creates shared mounts.  A shared mount when bind-mounted to some
mountpoint, propagates mount/umount events to each other.  All the
shared mounts that propagate events to each other belong to the same
peer-group.

07b20889e3 [PATCH] beginning of the shared-subtree proper
A private mount does not forward or receive propagation.  This patch
provides user the ability to convert any mount to private.
