			This isn't ever used by VFS now, and it couldn't even work. Any FS that uses the SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS flag needs to also process the value returned back from the LSM, so it needs to do its security_sb_set_mnt_opts() call on its own anyway.

| Overview
 | |
| ========
 | |
| 
 | |
| The creation of new mounts is now to be done in a multistep process:
 | |
| 
 | |
|  (1) Create a filesystem context.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  (2) Parse the parameters and attach them to the context.  Parameters are
 | |
|      expected to be passed individually from userspace, though legacy binary
 | |
|      parameters can also be handled.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  (3) Validate and pre-process the context.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  (4) Get or create a superblock and mountable root.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  (5) Perform the mount.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  (6) Return an error message attached to the context.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  (7) Destroy the context.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To support this, the file_system_type struct gains two new fields::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	int (*init_fs_context)(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 	const struct fs_parameter_description *parameters;
 | |
| 
 | |
| The first is invoked to set up the filesystem-specific parts of a filesystem
 | |
| context, including the additional space, and the second points to the
 | |
| parameter description for validation at registration time and querying by a
 | |
| future system call.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that security initialisation is done *after* the filesystem is called so
 | |
| that the namespaces may be adjusted first.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| The Filesystem context
 | |
| ======================
 | |
| 
 | |
| The creation and reconfiguration of a superblock is governed by a filesystem
 | |
| context.  This is represented by the fs_context structure::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	struct fs_context {
 | |
| 		const struct fs_context_operations *ops;
 | |
| 		struct file_system_type *fs_type;
 | |
| 		void			*fs_private;
 | |
| 		struct dentry		*root;
 | |
| 		struct user_namespace	*user_ns;
 | |
| 		struct net		*net_ns;
 | |
| 		const struct cred	*cred;
 | |
| 		char			*source;
 | |
| 		char			*subtype;
 | |
| 		void			*security;
 | |
| 		void			*s_fs_info;
 | |
| 		unsigned int		sb_flags;
 | |
| 		unsigned int		sb_flags_mask;
 | |
| 		unsigned int		s_iflags;
 | |
| 		enum fs_context_purpose	purpose:8;
 | |
| 		...
 | |
| 	};
 | |
| 
 | |
| The fs_context fields are as follows:
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        const struct fs_context_operations *ops
 | |
| 
 | |
|      These are operations that can be done on a filesystem context (see
 | |
|      below).  This must be set by the ->init_fs_context() file_system_type
 | |
|      operation.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        struct file_system_type *fs_type
 | |
| 
 | |
|      A pointer to the file_system_type of the filesystem that is being
 | |
|      constructed or reconfigured.  This retains a reference on the type owner.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        void *fs_private
 | |
| 
 | |
|      A pointer to the file system's private data.  This is where the filesystem
 | |
|      will need to store any options it parses.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        struct dentry *root
 | |
| 
 | |
|      A pointer to the root of the mountable tree (and indirectly, the
 | |
|      superblock thereof).  This is filled in by the ->get_tree() op.  If this
 | |
|      is set, an active reference on root->d_sb must also be held.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        struct user_namespace *user_ns
 | |
|        struct net *net_ns
 | |
| 
 | |
|      There are a subset of the namespaces in use by the invoking process.  They
 | |
|      retain references on each namespace.  The subscribed namespaces may be
 | |
|      replaced by the filesystem to reflect other sources, such as the parent
 | |
|      mount superblock on an automount.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        const struct cred *cred
 | |
| 
 | |
|      The mounter's credentials.  This retains a reference on the credentials.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        char *source
 | |
| 
 | |
|      This specifies the source.  It may be a block device (e.g. /dev/sda1) or
 | |
|      something more exotic, such as the "host:/path" that NFS desires.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        char *subtype
 | |
| 
 | |
|      This is a string to be added to the type displayed in /proc/mounts to
 | |
|      qualify it (used by FUSE).  This is available for the filesystem to set if
 | |
|      desired.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        void *security
 | |
| 
 | |
|      A place for the LSMs to hang their security data for the superblock.  The
 | |
|      relevant security operations are described below.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        void *s_fs_info
 | |
| 
 | |
|      The proposed s_fs_info for a new superblock, set in the superblock by
 | |
|      sget_fc().  This can be used to distinguish superblocks.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        unsigned int sb_flags
 | |
|        unsigned int sb_flags_mask
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Which bits SB_* flags are to be set/cleared in super_block::s_flags.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        unsigned int s_iflags
 | |
| 
 | |
|      These will be bitwise-OR'd with s->s_iflags when a superblock is created.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        enum fs_context_purpose
 | |
| 
 | |
|      This indicates the purpose for which the context is intended.  The
 | |
|      available values are:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	==========================	======================================
 | |
| 	FS_CONTEXT_FOR_MOUNT,		New superblock for explicit mount
 | |
| 	FS_CONTEXT_FOR_SUBMOUNT		New automatic submount of extant mount
 | |
| 	FS_CONTEXT_FOR_RECONFIGURE	Change an existing mount
 | |
| 	==========================	======================================
 | |
| 
 | |
| The mount context is created by calling vfs_new_fs_context() or
 | |
| vfs_dup_fs_context() and is destroyed with put_fs_context().  Note that the
 | |
| structure is not refcounted.
 | |
| 
 | |
| VFS, security and filesystem mount options are set individually with
 | |
| vfs_parse_mount_option().  Options provided by the old mount(2) system call as
 | |
| a page of data can be parsed with generic_parse_monolithic().
 | |
| 
 | |
| When mounting, the filesystem is allowed to take data from any of the pointers
 | |
| and attach it to the superblock (or whatever), provided it clears the pointer
 | |
| in the mount context.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The filesystem is also allowed to allocate resources and pin them with the
 | |
| mount context.  For instance, NFS might pin the appropriate protocol version
 | |
| module.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| The Filesystem Context Operations
 | |
| =================================
 | |
| 
 | |
| The filesystem context points to a table of operations::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	struct fs_context_operations {
 | |
| 		void (*free)(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 		int (*dup)(struct fs_context *fc, struct fs_context *src_fc);
 | |
| 		int (*parse_param)(struct fs_context *fc,
 | |
| 				   struct fs_parameter *param);
 | |
| 		int (*parse_monolithic)(struct fs_context *fc, void *data);
 | |
| 		int (*get_tree)(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 		int (*reconfigure)(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 	};
 | |
| 
 | |
| These operations are invoked by the various stages of the mount procedure to
 | |
| manage the filesystem context.  They are as follows:
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	void (*free)(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called to clean up the filesystem-specific part of the filesystem context
 | |
|      when the context is destroyed.  It should be aware that parts of the
 | |
|      context may have been removed and NULL'd out by ->get_tree().
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	int (*dup)(struct fs_context *fc, struct fs_context *src_fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called when a filesystem context has been duplicated to duplicate the
 | |
|      filesystem-private data.  An error may be returned to indicate failure to
 | |
|      do this.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      .. Warning::
 | |
| 
 | |
|          Note that even if this fails, put_fs_context() will be called
 | |
| 	 immediately thereafter, so ->dup() *must* make the
 | |
| 	 filesystem-private data safe for ->free().
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	int (*parse_param)(struct fs_context *fc,
 | |
| 			   struct fs_parameter *param);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called when a parameter is being added to the filesystem context.  param
 | |
|      points to the key name and maybe a value object.  VFS-specific options
 | |
|      will have been weeded out and fc->sb_flags updated in the context.
 | |
|      Security options will also have been weeded out and fc->security updated.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      The parameter can be parsed with fs_parse() and fs_lookup_param().  Note
 | |
|      that the source(s) are presented as parameters named "source".
 | |
| 
 | |
|      If successful, 0 should be returned or a negative error code otherwise.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	int (*parse_monolithic)(struct fs_context *fc, void *data);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called when the mount(2) system call is invoked to pass the entire data
 | |
|      page in one go.  If this is expected to be just a list of "key[=val]"
 | |
|      items separated by commas, then this may be set to NULL.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      The return value is as for ->parse_param().
 | |
| 
 | |
|      If the filesystem (e.g. NFS) needs to examine the data first and then
 | |
|      finds it's the standard key-val list then it may pass it off to
 | |
|      generic_parse_monolithic().
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	int (*get_tree)(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called to get or create the mountable root and superblock, using the
 | |
|      information stored in the filesystem context (reconfiguration goes via a
 | |
|      different vector).  It may detach any resources it desires from the
 | |
|      filesystem context and transfer them to the superblock it creates.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      On success it should set fc->root to the mountable root and return 0.  In
 | |
|      the case of an error, it should return a negative error code.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      The phase on a userspace-driven context will be set to only allow this to
 | |
|      be called once on any particular context.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	int (*reconfigure)(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called to effect reconfiguration of a superblock using information stored
 | |
|      in the filesystem context.  It may detach any resources it desires from
 | |
|      the filesystem context and transfer them to the superblock.  The
 | |
|      superblock can be found from fc->root->d_sb.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      On success it should return 0.  In the case of an error, it should return
 | |
|      a negative error code.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      .. Note:: reconfigure is intended as a replacement for remount_fs.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Filesystem context Security
 | |
| ===========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| The filesystem context contains a security pointer that the LSMs can use for
 | |
| building up a security context for the superblock to be mounted.  There are a
 | |
| number of operations used by the new mount code for this purpose:
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	int security_fs_context_alloc(struct fs_context *fc,
 | |
| 				      struct dentry *reference);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called to initialise fc->security (which is preset to NULL) and allocate
 | |
|      any resources needed.  It should return 0 on success or a negative error
 | |
|      code on failure.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      reference will be non-NULL if the context is being created for superblock
 | |
|      reconfiguration (FS_CONTEXT_FOR_RECONFIGURE) in which case it indicates
 | |
|      the root dentry of the superblock to be reconfigured.  It will also be
 | |
|      non-NULL in the case of a submount (FS_CONTEXT_FOR_SUBMOUNT) in which case
 | |
|      it indicates the automount point.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	int security_fs_context_dup(struct fs_context *fc,
 | |
| 				    struct fs_context *src_fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called to initialise fc->security (which is preset to NULL) and allocate
 | |
|      any resources needed.  The original filesystem context is pointed to by
 | |
|      src_fc and may be used for reference.  It should return 0 on success or a
 | |
|      negative error code on failure.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	void security_fs_context_free(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called to clean up anything attached to fc->security.  Note that the
 | |
|      contents may have been transferred to a superblock and the pointer cleared
 | |
|      during get_tree.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	int security_fs_context_parse_param(struct fs_context *fc,
 | |
| 					    struct fs_parameter *param);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called for each mount parameter, including the source.  The arguments are
 | |
|      as for the ->parse_param() method.  It should return 0 to indicate that
 | |
|      the parameter should be passed on to the filesystem, 1 to indicate that
 | |
|      the parameter should be discarded or an error to indicate that the
 | |
|      parameter should be rejected.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      The value pointed to by param may be modified (if a string) or stolen
 | |
|      (provided the value pointer is NULL'd out).  If it is stolen, 1 must be
 | |
|      returned to prevent it being passed to the filesystem.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	int security_fs_context_validate(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called after all the options have been parsed to validate the collection
 | |
|      as a whole and to do any necessary allocation so that
 | |
|      security_sb_get_tree() and security_sb_reconfigure() are less likely to
 | |
|      fail.  It should return 0 or a negative error code.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      In the case of reconfiguration, the target superblock will be accessible
 | |
|      via fc->root.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	int security_sb_get_tree(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called during the mount procedure to verify that the specified superblock
 | |
|      is allowed to be mounted and to transfer the security data there.  It
 | |
|      should return 0 or a negative error code.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	void security_sb_reconfigure(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called to apply any reconfiguration to an LSM's context.  It must not
 | |
|      fail.  Error checking and resource allocation must be done in advance by
 | |
|      the parameter parsing and validation hooks.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	int security_sb_mountpoint(struct fs_context *fc,
 | |
| 			           struct path *mountpoint,
 | |
| 				   unsigned int mnt_flags);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Called during the mount procedure to verify that the root dentry attached
 | |
|      to the context is permitted to be attached to the specified mountpoint.
 | |
|      It should return 0 on success or a negative error code on failure.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| VFS Filesystem context API
 | |
| ==========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| There are four operations for creating a filesystem context and one for
 | |
| destroying a context:
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        struct fs_context *fs_context_for_mount(struct file_system_type *fs_type,
 | |
| 					       unsigned int sb_flags);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Allocate a filesystem context for the purpose of setting up a new mount,
 | |
|      whether that be with a new superblock or sharing an existing one.  This
 | |
|      sets the superblock flags, initialises the security and calls
 | |
|      fs_type->init_fs_context() to initialise the filesystem private data.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      fs_type specifies the filesystem type that will manage the context and
 | |
|      sb_flags presets the superblock flags stored therein.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        struct fs_context *fs_context_for_reconfigure(
 | |
| 		struct dentry *dentry,
 | |
| 		unsigned int sb_flags,
 | |
| 		unsigned int sb_flags_mask);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Allocate a filesystem context for the purpose of reconfiguring an
 | |
|      existing superblock.  dentry provides a reference to the superblock to be
 | |
|      configured.  sb_flags and sb_flags_mask indicate which superblock flags
 | |
|      need changing and to what.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        struct fs_context *fs_context_for_submount(
 | |
| 		struct file_system_type *fs_type,
 | |
| 		struct dentry *reference);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Allocate a filesystem context for the purpose of creating a new mount for
 | |
|      an automount point or other derived superblock.  fs_type specifies the
 | |
|      filesystem type that will manage the context and the reference dentry
 | |
|      supplies the parameters.  Namespaces are propagated from the reference
 | |
|      dentry's superblock also.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Note that it's not a requirement that the reference dentry be of the same
 | |
|      filesystem type as fs_type.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|         struct fs_context *vfs_dup_fs_context(struct fs_context *src_fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Duplicate a filesystem context, copying any options noted and duplicating
 | |
|      or additionally referencing any resources held therein.  This is available
 | |
|      for use where a filesystem has to get a mount within a mount, such as NFS4
 | |
|      does by internally mounting the root of the target server and then doing a
 | |
|      private pathwalk to the target directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      The purpose in the new context is inherited from the old one.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        void put_fs_context(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Destroy a filesystem context, releasing any resources it holds.  This
 | |
|      calls the ->free() operation.  This is intended to be called by anyone who
 | |
|      created a filesystem context.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      .. Warning::
 | |
| 
 | |
|         filesystem contexts are not refcounted, so this causes unconditional
 | |
| 	destruction.
 | |
| 
 | |
| In all the above operations, apart from the put op, the return is a mount
 | |
| context pointer or a negative error code.
 | |
| 
 | |
| For the remaining operations, if an error occurs, a negative error code will be
 | |

|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|         int vfs_parse_fs_param(struct fs_context *fc,
 | |
| 			       struct fs_parameter *param);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Supply a single mount parameter to the filesystem context.  This includes
 | |
|      the specification of the source/device which is specified as the "source"
 | |
|      parameter (which may be specified multiple times if the filesystem
 | |
|      supports that).
 | |
| 
 | |
|      param specifies the parameter key name and the value.  The parameter is
 | |
|      first checked to see if it corresponds to a standard mount flag (in which
 | |
|      case it is used to set an SB_xxx flag and consumed) or a security option
 | |
|      (in which case the LSM consumes it) before it is passed on to the
 | |
|      filesystem.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      The parameter value is typed and can be one of:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	====================		=============================
 | |
| 	fs_value_is_flag		Parameter not given a value
 | |
| 	fs_value_is_string		Value is a string
 | |
| 	fs_value_is_blob		Value is a binary blob
 | |
| 	fs_value_is_filename		Value is a filename* + dirfd
 | |
| 	fs_value_is_file		Value is an open file (file*)
 | |
| 	====================		=============================
 | |
| 
 | |
|      If there is a value, that value is stored in a union in the struct in one
 | |
|      of param->{string,blob,name,file}.  Note that the function may steal and
 | |
|      clear the pointer, but then becomes responsible for disposing of the
 | |
|      object.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        int vfs_parse_fs_string(struct fs_context *fc, const char *key,
 | |
| 			       const char *value, size_t v_size);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      A wrapper around vfs_parse_fs_param() that copies the value string it is
 | |
|      passed.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        int generic_parse_monolithic(struct fs_context *fc, void *data);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Parse a sys_mount() data page, assuming the form to be a text list
 | |
|      consisting of key[=val] options separated by commas.  Each item in the
 | |
|      list is passed to vfs_mount_option().  This is the default when the
 | |
|      ->parse_monolithic() method is NULL.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        int vfs_get_tree(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Get or create the mountable root and superblock, using the parameters in
 | |
|      the filesystem context to select/configure the superblock.  This invokes
 | |
|      the ->get_tree() method.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        struct vfsmount *vfs_create_mount(struct fs_context *fc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Create a mount given the parameters in the specified filesystem context.
 | |
|      Note that this does not attach the mount to anything.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Superblock Creation Helpers
 | |
| ===========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| A number of VFS helpers are available for use by filesystems for the creation
 | |
| or looking up of superblocks.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        struct super_block *
 | |
|        sget_fc(struct fs_context *fc,
 | |
| 	       int (*test)(struct super_block *sb, struct fs_context *fc),
 | |
| 	       int (*set)(struct super_block *sb, struct fs_context *fc));
 | |
| 
 | |
|      This is the core routine.  If test is non-NULL, it searches for an
 | |
|      existing superblock matching the criteria held in the fs_context, using
 | |
|      the test function to match them.  If no match is found, a new superblock
 | |
|      is created and the set function is called to set it up.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Prior to the set function being called, fc->s_fs_info will be transferred
 | |
|      to sb->s_fs_info - and fc->s_fs_info will be cleared if set returns
 | |
|      success (ie. 0).
 | |
| 
 | |
| The following helpers all wrap sget_fc():
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	(1) vfs_get_single_super
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	    Only one such superblock may exist in the system.  Any further
 | |
| 	    attempt to get a new superblock gets this one (and any parameter
 | |
| 	    differences are ignored).
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	(2) vfs_get_keyed_super
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	    Multiple superblocks of this type may exist and they're keyed on
 | |
| 	    their s_fs_info pointer (for example this may refer to a
 | |
| 	    namespace).
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	(3) vfs_get_independent_super
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	    Multiple independent superblocks of this type may exist.  This
 | |
| 	    function never matches an existing one and always creates a new
 | |
| 	    one.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Parameter Description
 | |
| =====================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Parameters are described using structures defined in linux/fs_parser.h.
 | |
| There's a core description struct that links everything together::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	struct fs_parameter_description {
 | |
| 		const struct fs_parameter_spec *specs;
 | |
| 		const struct fs_parameter_enum *enums;
 | |
| 	};
 | |
| 
 | |
| For example::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	enum {
 | |
| 		Opt_autocell,
 | |
| 		Opt_bar,
 | |
| 		Opt_dyn,
 | |
| 		Opt_foo,
 | |
| 		Opt_source,
 | |
| 	};
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	static const struct fs_parameter_description afs_fs_parameters = {
 | |
| 		.specs		= afs_param_specs,
 | |
| 		.enums		= afs_param_enums,
 | |
| 	};
 | |
| 
 | |
| The members are as follows:
 | |
| 
 | |
|  (1) ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        const struct fs_parameter_specification *specs;
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Table of parameter specifications, terminated with a null entry, where the
 | |
|      entries are of type::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	struct fs_parameter_spec {
 | |
| 		const char		*name;
 | |
| 		u8			opt;
 | |
| 		enum fs_parameter_type	type:8;
 | |
| 		unsigned short		flags;
 | |
| 	};
 | |
| 
 | |
|      The 'name' field is a string to match exactly to the parameter key (no
 | |
|      wildcards, patterns and no case-independence) and 'opt' is the value that
 | |
|      will be returned by the fs_parser() function in the case of a successful
 | |
|      match.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      The 'type' field indicates the desired value type and must be one of:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	=======================	=======================	=====================
 | |
| 	TYPE NAME		EXPECTED VALUE		RESULT IN
 | |
| 	=======================	=======================	=====================
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_flag	No value		n/a
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_bool	Boolean value		result->boolean
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_u32		32-bit unsigned int	result->uint_32
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_u32_octal	32-bit octal int	result->uint_32
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_u32_hex	32-bit hex int		result->uint_32
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_s32		32-bit signed int	result->int_32
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_u64		64-bit unsigned int	result->uint_64
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_enum	Enum value name 	result->uint_32
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_string	Arbitrary string	param->string
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_blob	Binary blob		param->blob
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_blockdev	Blockdev path		* Needs lookup
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_path	Path			* Needs lookup
 | |
| 	fs_param_is_fd		File descriptor		result->int_32
 | |
| 	=======================	=======================	=====================
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Note that if the value is of fs_param_is_bool type, fs_parse() will try
 | |
|      to match any string value against "0", "1", "no", "yes", "false", "true".
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Each parameter can also be qualified with 'flags':
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	=======================	================================================
 | |
| 	fs_param_v_optional	The value is optional
 | |
| 	fs_param_neg_with_no	result->negated set if key is prefixed with "no"
 | |
| 	fs_param_neg_with_empty	result->negated set if value is ""
 | |
| 	fs_param_deprecated	The parameter is deprecated.
 | |
| 	=======================	================================================
 | |
| 
 | |
|      These are wrapped with a number of convenience wrappers:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	=======================	===============================================
 | |
| 	MACRO			SPECIFIES
 | |
| 	=======================	===============================================
 | |
| 	fsparam_flag()		fs_param_is_flag
 | |
| 	fsparam_flag_no()	fs_param_is_flag, fs_param_neg_with_no
 | |
| 	fsparam_bool()		fs_param_is_bool
 | |
| 	fsparam_u32()		fs_param_is_u32
 | |
| 	fsparam_u32oct()	fs_param_is_u32_octal
 | |
| 	fsparam_u32hex()	fs_param_is_u32_hex
 | |
| 	fsparam_s32()		fs_param_is_s32
 | |
| 	fsparam_u64()		fs_param_is_u64
 | |
| 	fsparam_enum()		fs_param_is_enum
 | |
| 	fsparam_string()	fs_param_is_string
 | |
| 	fsparam_blob()		fs_param_is_blob
 | |
| 	fsparam_bdev()		fs_param_is_blockdev
 | |
| 	fsparam_path()		fs_param_is_path
 | |
| 	fsparam_fd()		fs_param_is_fd
 | |
| 	=======================	===============================================
 | |
| 
 | |
|      all of which take two arguments, name string and option number - for
 | |
|      example::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	static const struct fs_parameter_spec afs_param_specs[] = {
 | |
| 		fsparam_flag	("autocell",	Opt_autocell),
 | |
| 		fsparam_flag	("dyn",		Opt_dyn),
 | |
| 		fsparam_string	("source",	Opt_source),
 | |
| 		fsparam_flag_no	("foo",		Opt_foo),
 | |
| 		{}
 | |
| 	};
 | |
| 
 | |
|      An addition macro, __fsparam() is provided that takes an additional pair
 | |
|      of arguments to specify the type and the flags for anything that doesn't
 | |
|      match one of the above macros.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  (2) ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        const struct fs_parameter_enum *enums;
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Table of enum value names to integer mappings, terminated with a null
 | |
|      entry.  This is of type::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	struct fs_parameter_enum {
 | |
| 		u8		opt;
 | |
| 		char		name[14];
 | |
| 		u8		value;
 | |
| 	};
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Where the array is an unsorted list of { parameter ID, name }-keyed
 | |
|      elements that indicate the value to map to, e.g.::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	static const struct fs_parameter_enum afs_param_enums[] = {
 | |
| 		{ Opt_bar,   "x",      1},
 | |
| 		{ Opt_bar,   "y",      23},
 | |
| 		{ Opt_bar,   "z",      42},
 | |
| 	};
 | |
| 
 | |
|      If a parameter of type fs_param_is_enum is encountered, fs_parse() will
 | |
|      try to look the value up in the enum table and the result will be stored
 | |
|      in the parse result.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The parser should be pointed to by the parser pointer in the file_system_type
 | |
| struct as this will provide validation on registration (if
 | |
| CONFIG_VALIDATE_FS_PARSER=y) and will allow the description to be queried from
 | |
| userspace using the fsinfo() syscall.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Parameter Helper Functions
 | |
| ==========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| A number of helper functions are provided to help a filesystem or an LSM
 | |
| process the parameters it is given.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        int lookup_constant(const struct constant_table tbl[],
 | |
| 			   const char *name, int not_found);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Look up a constant by name in a table of name -> integer mappings.  The
 | |
|      table is an array of elements of the following type::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	struct constant_table {
 | |
| 		const char	*name;
 | |
| 		int		value;
 | |
| 	};
 | |
| 
 | |
|      If a match is found, the corresponding value is returned.  If a match
 | |
|      isn't found, the not_found value is returned instead.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        bool validate_constant_table(const struct constant_table *tbl,
 | |
| 				    size_t tbl_size,
 | |
| 				    int low, int high, int special);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Validate a constant table.  Checks that all the elements are appropriately
 | |
|      ordered, that there are no duplicates and that the values are between low
 | |
|      and high inclusive, though provision is made for one allowable special
 | |
|      value outside of that range.  If no special value is required, special
 | |
|      should just be set to lie inside the low-to-high range.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      If all is good, true is returned.  If the table is invalid, errors are
 | |
|      logged to the kernel log buffer and false is returned.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        bool fs_validate_description(const struct fs_parameter_description *desc);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      This performs some validation checks on a parameter description.  It
 | |
|      returns true if the description is good and false if it is not.  It will
 | |
|      log errors to the kernel log buffer if validation fails.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|         int fs_parse(struct fs_context *fc,
 | |
| 		     const struct fs_parameter_description *desc,
 | |
| 		     struct fs_parameter *param,
 | |
| 		     struct fs_parse_result *result);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      This is the main interpreter of parameters.  It uses the parameter
 | |
|      description to look up a parameter by key name and to convert that to an
 | |
|      option number (which it returns).
 | |
| 
 | |
|      If successful, and if the parameter type indicates the result is a
 | |
|      boolean, integer or enum type, the value is converted by this function and
 | |
|      the result stored in result->{boolean,int_32,uint_32,uint_64}.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      If a match isn't initially made, the key is prefixed with "no" and no
 | |
|      value is present then an attempt will be made to look up the key with the
 | |
|      prefix removed.  If this matches a parameter for which the type has flag
 | |
|      fs_param_neg_with_no set, then a match will be made and result->negated
 | |
|      will be set to true.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      If the parameter isn't matched, -ENOPARAM will be returned; if the
 | |
|      parameter is matched, but the value is erroneous, -EINVAL will be
 | |
|      returned; otherwise the parameter's option number will be returned.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|        int fs_lookup_param(struct fs_context *fc,
 | |
| 			   struct fs_parameter *value,
 | |
| 			   bool want_bdev,
 | |
| 			   unsigned int flags,
 | |
| 			   struct path *_path);
 | |
| 
 | |
|      This takes a parameter that carries a string or filename type and attempts
 | |
|      to do a path lookup on it.  If the parameter expects a blockdev, a check
 | |
|      is made that the inode actually represents one.
 | |
| 
 | |
|      Returns 0 if successful and ``*_path`` will be set; returns a negative
 | |
|      error code if not.
 |
