Subject: [RFC][PATCH 0/9] VFS: Introduce mount context
Date: Wed, 03 May 2017 17:04:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <149382747487.30481.15428192741961545429.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
Here are a set of patches to create a mount context prior to setting up a
new mount, populating it with the parsed options/binary data and then
effecting the mount.
This allows namespaces and other information to be conveyed through the
mount procedure. It also allows extra error information to be returned
(so many things can go wrong during a mount that a small integer isn't
really sufficient to convey the issue).
This also allows Miklós Szeredi's idea of doing:
fd = fsopen("nfs");
write(fd, "option=val", ...);
fsmount(fd, "/mnt");
that he presented at LSF-2017 to be implemented (see the relevant patches
in the series), to which I can add:
read(fd, error_buffer, ...);
to read back any error message. I didn't use netlink as that would make it
depend on CONFIG_NET and would introduce network namespacing issues.
I've implemented mount context handling for procfs and nfs.
Further developments:
(*) Implement mount context support in more filesystems, ext4 being next
on my list.
(*) Move the walk-from-root stuff that nfs has to generic code so that you
can do something akin to:
mount /dev/sda1:/foo/bar /mnt
See nfs_follow_remote_path() and mount_subtree(). This is slightly
tricky in NFS as we have to prevent referral loops.
(*) Move the pid_ns pointer from struct mount_context to struct
proc_mount_context as I'm not sure it's necessary for anything other
than procfs.
(*) Work out how to get at the error message incurred by submounts
encountered during nfs_follow_remote_path().
Should the error message be moved to task_struct and made more
general, perhaps retrieved with a prctl() function?
(*) Clean up/consolidate the security functions. Possibly add a
validation hook to be called at the same time as the mount context
validate op.
The patches can be found here also:
