[PATCH 0/5] NFS private namespace patchset

[PATCH 0/5] NFS private namespace patchset

[Trond Myklebust]

The following series is a resend of a set of patches that were
originally targetted for inclusion in 2.6.30-rc1. They build upon
Al Viro's "Cache root in nameidata" patches, and add the ability to
create a private mount namespace that is not visible to user
processes.
As stated before, the goal is to allow reuse of vfs_path_lookup() in
order to allow the nfs client to walk down NFSv4 mount paths, and locate
the directory that needs to be mounted.

There have been no further comments on these patches since I mailed the
last revision, so I'm hoping that Al and Christoph will ack them and
that Linus will apply...

Cheers
  Trond

[PATCH 2/5] VFS: Add VFS helper functions for setting up private namespaces

[Trond Myklebust]

The purpose of this patch is to improve the remote mount path lookup
support for distributed filesystems such as the NFSv4 client.

When given a mount command of the form "mount server:/foo/bar /mnt", the
NFSv4 client is required to look up the filehandle for "server:/", and
then look up each component of the remote mount path "foo/bar" in order
to find the directory that is actually going to be mounted on /mnt.
Following that remote mount path may involve following symlinks,
crossing server-side mount points and even following referrals to
filesystem volumes on other servers.

Since the standard VFS path lookup code already supports walking paths
that contain all these features (using in-kernel automounts for
following referrals) we would like to be able to reuse that rather than
duplicate the full path traversal functionality in the NFSv4 client code.

This patch therefore defines a VFS helper function create_mnt_ns(), that
sets up a temporary filesystem namespace and attaches a root filesystem to
it. It exports the create_mnt_ns() and put_mnt_ns() function for use by
filesystem modules.

This looks good, thanks.  Though I see no reason not to also switch over
init_mount_tree() to the new helper.

(Seems plausible that c/r code would use this as well)

Thanks for the review! I missed the code duplication in

Yup.

(it keeps bugging me that the order of args to list_add() gets reversed
as a result, but clearly with both starting out empty it doesn't
matter..)

.. and the new one is more logical. "list_add()" really adds the first 
entry to the list pointed to by the second one. It _works_ the other way 
too in this case, as you point out, but now that you mention it, it really 
looks like the pre-patch code is "wrong".

(looking through patch 3 a bit) is this expected to be safe because all
callers will send in a mnt which was privately mounted as nfs root_mnt through
vfs_kern_mount?  So that at this point noone else can have a ref to
mnt?

If that isn't the intent, then this seems problematic...  (If it is, it
seems worth commenting both so that every reader doesn't feel compelled
to verify, and so that no new callers will naively violate that
expectation)

The call to nfs_fix_devname() is only applied to the 'mnt_target'
vfsmount, which is the one that was passed down directly from
do_kern_mount() to the ->get_sb() method. It is entirely unreferenced by
any other process since we haven't yet called 'do_add_mount()' to
publish it.

[PATCH 3/5] NFSv4: Replace nfs4_path_walk() with VFS path lookup in a private namespace

[Trond Myklebust]

As noted in the previous patch, the NFSv4 client mount code currently
has several limitations. If the mount path contains symlinks, or
referrals, or even if it just contains a '..', then the client code in
nfs4_path_walk() will fail with an error.

This patch replaces the nfs4_path_walk()-based lookup with a helper
function that sets up a private namespace to represent the namespace on the
server, then uses the ordinary VFS and NFS path lookup code to walk down the
mount path in that namespace.

Al? Where are you?

I'd like to get ack's on Trond's series, and I'd also like to get an ack 
(or nak) on the (partly related) possible leak in the nd.root path 
reference leak.

Trond - the series looks fine to me, and I guess I'll apply it even 
without Al's acks, but I'd give it a day or two still..

Ok, I applied Trond's private namespace patchset, since I was planning on 
doing -rc1 today (now reconsidering due to the bulk of stuff I've done 
today, it might be tomorrow).

But I'm still interested in fixes and particularly in the path ref leak 
issue.

Oh, and Trond just sent out a cleanup patch that looked fine too.
