autofs: clear O_NONBLOCK on the pipe

2019-03-08T02:32:01Z

autofs does not expect the pipe it is given to have O_NONBLOCK set - specifically if __kernel_write() in autofs_write() returns -EAGAIN, this is treated as a fatal error and the pipe is closed. For safety autofs should, therefore, clear the O_NONBLOCK flag. Releases of systemd prior to 8th February 2019 used pipe2(p, O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC) and thus (inadvertently) set this flag.

fs/autofs/inode.c: use seq_puts() for simple strings in autofs_show_options()

Fix checkpatch.sh WARNING about the use of seq_printf() to print simple strings in autofs_show_options(), use seq_puts() in this case.

autofs: add ignore mount option

2019-03-08T02:32:01Z

Add an autofs file system mount option that can be used to provide a generic indicator to applications that the mount entry should be ignored when displaying mount information. In other OSes that provide autofs and that provide a mount list to user space based on the kernel mount list a no-op mount option ("ignore" is the one use on the most common OS) is allowed so that autofs file system users can optionally use it. The idea is that it be used by user space programs to exclude autofs mounts from consideration when reading the mounts list. Prior to the change to link /etc/mtab to /proc/self/mounts all I needed to do to achieve this was to use mount(2) and not update the mtab but now that no longer works. I know the symlinking happened a long time ago and I considered doing this then but, at the time I couldn't remember the commonly used option name and thought persuading the various utility maintainers would be too hard. But now I have a RHEL request to do this for compatibility for a widely used product so I want to go ahead with it and try and enlist the help of some utility package maintainers. Clearly, without the option nothing can be done so it's at least a start.

autofs: fix error return in autofs_fill_super()

2019-02-01T23:46:24Z

In autofs_fill_super() on error of get inode/make root dentry the return should be ENOMEM as this is the only failure case of the called functions.

autofs: drop dentry reference only when it is never used

2019-02-01T23:46:24Z

autofs_expire_run() calls dput(dentry) to drop the reference count of dentry. However, dentry is read via autofs_dentry_ino(dentry) after that. This may result in a use-free-bug. The patch drops the reference count of dentry only when it is never used.

autofs: add strictexpire mount option

2019-01-04T21:13:47Z

Commit 092a53452bb7 ("autofs: take more care to not update last_used on path walk") helped to (partially) resolve a problem where automounts were not expiring due to aggressive accesses from user space. This patch was later reverted because, for very large environments, it meant more mount requests from clients and when there are a lot of clients this caused a fairly significant increase in server load. But there is a need for both types of expire check, depending on use case, so add a mount option to allow for strict update of last use of autofs dentrys (which just means not updating the last use on path walk access).

autofs: simplify parse_options() function call

2019-01-04T21:13:46Z

The parse_options() function uses a long list of parameters, most of which are present in the super block info structure already. The mount parameters set in parse_options() options don't require cleanup so using the super block info struct directly is simpler.

autofs: improve ioctl sbi checks

2019-01-04T21:13:46Z

Al Viro made some suggestions to improve the implementation of commit 0633da48f0 ("fix autofs_sbi() does not check super block type"). The check is unnecessary in all cases except for ioctl usage so placing the check in the super block accessor function adds a small overhead to the common case where it isn't needed. So it's sufficient to do this in the ioctl code only. Also the check in the ioctl code is needlessly complex.
