To support containers, allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem, such
that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of ptys
allocated in other instances of devpts.
But to preserve backward compatibility, enable this support for multiple
instances only if:
- CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is set to Y, and
- '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts
To use multi-instance mount, a container startup script could:
$ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash
$ umount /dev/pts
$ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
$ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
$ /usr/sbin/sshd -p 1234
where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' is calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs
/bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in
the original mount of /dev/pts.
USER-SPACE-IMPACT:
- See Documentation/fs/devpts.txt (included in next patch) for user-
space impact in multi-instance and mixed-mode operation.
TODO:
- Update mount(8), pts(4) man pages. Highlight impact of not
redirecting /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx after a multi-instance mount.
Changelog[v6]:
- [Dave Hansen] Use new get_init_pts_sb() interface
- [Serge Hallyn] Don't bother displaying 'newinstance' in show_options
- [Serge Hallyn] Use macros (PARSE_REMOUNT/PARSE_MOUNT) instead of 0/1.
- [Serge Hallyn] Check error return from get_sb_single() (now
get_init_pts_sb())
- devpts_pty_kill(): don't dput error dentries
Changelog[v5]:
- Move get_sb_ref() definition to earlier patch
- Move usage info to Documentation/filesystems/devpts.txt (next patch)
- Make ptmx node even in init_pts_ns, now that default mode is 0000
(defined in earlier patch, enabled here).
- Cache ptmx dentry and use to update mode during remount
(defined in earlier patch, enabled here).
- Bugfix: explicitly ignore newinstance on remount (if newinstance was
specified on remount of initial mount, it would be ignored but
/proc/mounts would imply that the option was set)
Changelog[v4]:
- Update patch description to address H. Peter Anvin's comments
- Consolidate multi-instance mode code under new config token,
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCE.
- Move usage-details from patch description to
Documentation/fs/devpts.txt
Changelog[v3]:
- Rename new mount option to 'newinstance'
- Create ptmx nodes only in 'newinstance' mounts
- Bugfix: parse_mount_options() modifies @data but since we need to
parse the @data twice (once in devpts_get_sb() and once during
do_remount_sb()), parse a local copy of @data in devpts_get_sb().
(restructured code in devpts_get_sb() to fix this)
Changelog[v2]:
- Support both single-mount and multiple-mount semantics and
provide '-onewmnt' option to select the semantics.

/dev/ptmx is closely tied to the devpts filesystem. An open of /dev/ptmx,
allocates the next pty index and the associated device shows up in the
devpts fs as /dev/pts/n.
Wih multiple instancs of devpts filesystem, during an open of /dev/ptmx
we would be unable to determine which instance of the devpts is being
accessed.
So we move the 'ptmx' node into /dev/pts and use the inode of the 'ptmx'
node to identify the superblock and hence the devpts instance. This patch
adds ability for the kernel to internally create the [ptmx, c, 5:2] device
when mounting devpts filesystem. Since the ptmx node in devpts is new and
may surprise some userspace scripts, the default permissions for the new
node is 0000. These permissions can be changed either using chmod or by
remounting with the new '-o ptmxmode=0666' mount option.
Changelog[v5]:
- [Serge Hallyn bugfix]: Letting new_inode() assign inode number to
ptmx can collide with hand-assigning inode numbers to ptys. So,
hand-assign specific inode number to ptmx node also.
- [Serge Hallyn]: Maybe safer to grab root dentry mutex while creating
ptmx node
- [Bugfix with Serge Hallyn] Replace lookup_one_len() in mknod_ptmx()
wih d_alloc_name() (lookup during ->get_sb() locks up system). To
simplify patchset, fold the ptmx_dentry patch into this.
Changelog[v4]:
- Change default permissions of pts/ptmx node to 0000.
- Move code for ptmxmode under #ifdef CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES.
Changelog[v3]:
- Rename ptmx_mode to ptmxmode (for consistency with 'newinstance')
Changelog[v2]:
- [H. Peter Anvin] Remove mknod() system call support and create the
ptmx node internally.
Changelog[v1]:
- Earlier version of this patch enabled creating /dev/pts/tty as
well. As pointed out by Al Viro and H. Peter Anvin, that is not
really necessary.

to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

This patch modifies the VFS setxattr, getxattr, and listxattr code to fall
back to the security module for security xattrs if the filesystem does not
support xattrs natively. This allows security modules to export the incore
inode security label information to userspace even if the filesystem does
not provide xattr storage, and eliminates the need to individually patch
various pseudo filesystem types to provide such access. The patch removes
the existing xattr code from devpts and tmpfs as it is then no longer
needed.
The patch restructures the code flow slightly to reduce duplication between
the normal path and the fallback path, but this should only have one
user-visible side effect - a program may get -EACCES rather than
-EOPNOTSUPP if policy denied access but the filesystem didn't support the
operation anyway. Note that the post_setxattr hook call is not needed in
the fallback case, as the inode_setsecurity hook call handles the incore
inode security state update directly. In contrast, we do call fsnotify in
both cases.
