2017-02-03nsfs: Add an ioctl() to return owner UID of a usernsMichael Kerrisk (man-pages)
I'd like to write code that discovers the user namespace hierarchy on a running system, and also shows who owns the various user namespaces. Currently, there is no way of getting the owner UID of a user namespace. Therefore, this patch adds a new NS_GET_CREATOR_UID ioctl() that fetches the UID (as seen in the user namespace of the caller) of the creator of the user namespace referred to by the specified file descriptor. If the supplied file descriptor does not refer to a user namespace, the operation fails with the error EINVAL. If the owner UID does not have a mapping in the caller's user namespace return the overflow UID as that appears easier to deal with in practice in user-space applications. -- EWB Changed the handling of unmapped UIDs from -EOVERFLOW back to the overflow uid. Per conversation with Michael Kerrisk after examining his test code. Acked-by: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2017-01-25nsfs: Add an ioctl() to return the namespace typeMichael Kerrisk (man-pages)
Linux 4.9 added two ioctl() operations that can be used to discover: * the parental relationships for hierarchical namespaces (user and PID) [NS_GET_PARENT] * the user namespaces that owns a specified non-user-namespace [NS_GET_USERNS] For no good reason that I can glean, NS_GET_USERNS was made synonymous with NS_GET_PARENT for user namespaces. It might have been better if NS_GET_USERNS had returned an error if the supplied file descriptor referred to a user namespace, since it suggests that the caller may be confused. More particularly, if it had generated an error, then I wouldn't need the new ioctl() operation proposed here. (On the other hand, what I propose here may be more generally useful.) I would like to write code that discovers namespace relationships for the purpose of understanding the namespace setup on a running system. In particular, given a file descriptor (or pathname) for a namespace, N, I'd like to obtain the corresponding user namespace. Namespace N might be a user namespace (in which case my code would just use N) or a non-user namespace (in which case my code will use NS_GET_USERNS to get the user namespace associated with N). The problem is that there is no way to tell the difference by looking at the file descriptor (and if I try to use NS_GET_USERNS on an N that is a user namespace, I get the parent user namespace of N, which is not what I want). This patch therefore adds a new ioctl(), NS_GET_NSTYPE, which, given a file descriptor that refers to a user namespace, returns the namespace type (one of the CLONE_NEW* constants).

2016-10-31net: add an ioctl to get a socket network namespaceAndrey Vagin
Each socket operates in a network namespace where it has been created, so if we want to dump and restore a socket, we have to know its network namespace. We have a socket_diag to get information about sockets, it doesn't report sockets which are not bound or connected. This patch introduces a new socket ioctl, which is called SIOCGSKNS and used to get a file descriptor for a socket network namespace. A task must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in a target network namespace to use this ioctl. Cc: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Eric W.

2016-09-27fs: Replace CURRENT_TIME with current_time() for inode timestampsDeepa Dinamani
CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps. Use current_time() instead. CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe. This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also, current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be y2038 safe. Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they share the same time granularity.

2016-09-22nsfs: Simplify __ns_get_pathEric W. Biederman
Move mntget from the very beginning of __ns_get_path to the success path of __ns_get_path, and remove the mntget calls. This removes the possibility that there will be a mntget/mntput pair of __ns_get_path has to retry, and generally simplifies the code. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

2016-09-22nsfs: add ioctl to get an owning user namespace for ns file descriptorAndrey Vagin
Each namespace has an owning user namespace and now there is not way to discover these relationships. Understending namespaces relationships allows to answer the question: what capability does process X have to perform operations on a resource governed by namespace Y? After a long discussion, Eric W. Biederman proposed to use ioctl-s for this purpose. The NS_GET_USERNS ioctl returns a file descriptor to an owning user namespace. It returns EPERM if a target namespace is outside of a current user namespace. v2: rename parent to relative v3: Add a missing mntput when returning -EAGAIN --EWB Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com> Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/7/6/158 Signed-off-by: Andrei Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

The seq_<foo> function return values were frequently misused. See: commit 1f33c41c03da ("seq_file: Rename seq_overflow() to seq_has_overflowed() and make public") All uses of these return values have been removed, so convert the return types to void. Miscellanea: o Move seq_put_decimal_<type> and seq_escape prototypes closer the other seq_vprintf prototypes o Reorder seq_putc and seq_puts to return early on overflow o Add argument names to seq_vprintf and seq_printf o Update the seq_escape kernel-doc o Convert a couple of leading spaces to tabs in seq_escape Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Cc: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Cc: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2015-07-11nsfs: Add a show_path method to fix mountinfoEric W. Biederman
Today mountinfo displays a very unhelpful "/" for nsfs files. Add a show_path method returning the same string as ns_dname. This results in a bind mount of /proc/<pid>/ns/net showing up in /proc/<pid>/mountinfo as "net:[1234...]" instead of "/". Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

2014-12-10take the targets of /proc/*/ns/* symlinks to separate fsAl Viro
New pseudo-filesystem: nsfs. Targets of /proc/*/ns/* live there now. It's not mountable (not even registered, so it's not in /proc/filesystems, etc.). Files on it *are* bindable - we explicitly permit that in do_loopback(). This stuff lives in fs/nsfs.c now; proc_ns_fget() moved there as well. get_proc_ns() is a macro now (it's simply returning ->i_private; would have been an inline, if not for header ordering headache). proc_ns_inode() is an ex-parrot. The interface used in procfs is ns_get_path(path, task, ops) and ns_get_name(buf, size, task, ops). Dentries and inodes are never hashed; a non-counting reference to dentry is stashed in ns_common (removed by ->d_prune()) and reused by ns_get_path() if present. See ns_get_path()/ns_prune_dentry/nsfs_evict() for details of that mechanism. As the result, proc_ns_follow_link() has stopped poking in nd->path.mnt; it does nd_jump_link() on a consistent <vfsmount,dentry> pair it gets from ns_get_path().
