[ I'm currently running my tests on it now, and so far, after a few
hours it has yet to blow up. I'll run it for 24 hours which it never
succeeded in the past. ]
The tracing code has a way to make directories within the debugfs file
system as well as deleting them using mkdir/rmdir in the instance
directory. This is very limited in functionality, such as there is
no renames, and the parent directory "instance" can not be modified.
The tracing code creates the instance directory from the debugfs code
and then replaces the dentry->d_inode->i_op with its own to allow
for mkdir/rmdir to work.
When these are called, the d_entry and inode locks need to be released
to call the instance creation and deletion code. That code has its own
accounting and locking to serialize everything to prevent multiple
users from causing harm. As the parent "instance" directory can not
be modified this simplifies things.
I created a stress test that creates several threads that randomly
creates and deletes directories thousands of times a second. The code
stood up to this test and I submitted it a while ago.
Recently I added a new test that adds readers to the mix. While the
instance directories were being added and deleted, readers would read
from these directories and even enable tracing within them. This test
was able to trigger a bug:

It took a while, but every time it triggered, it was always in the
same place:
list_for_each_entry_safe(child, next, &parent->d_subdirs, d_u.d_child) {
Where the child->d_u.d_child seemed to be corrupted. I added lots of
trace_printk()s to see what was wrong, and sure enough, it was always
the child's d_u.d_child field. I looked around to see what touches
it and noticed that in __dentry_kill() which calls dentry_free():
static void dentry_free(struct dentry *dentry)
{
/* if dentry was never visible to RCU, immediate free is OK */
if (!(dentry->d_flags & DCACHE_RCUACCESS))
__d_free(&dentry->d_u.d_rcu);
else
call_rcu(&dentry->d_u.d_rcu, __d_free);
}
I also noticed that __dentry_kill() unlinks the child->d_u.child
under the parent->d_lock spin_lock.
Looking back at the loop in debugfs_remove_recursive() it never takes the
parent->d_lock to do the list walk. Adding more tracing, I was able to
prove this was the issue:
ftrace-t-15385 1.... 246662024us : dentry_kill <ffffffff81138b91>: free ffff88006d573600
rmdir-15409 2.... 246662024us : debugfs_remove_recursive <ffffffff811ec7e5>: child=ffff88006d573600 next=dead000000100058
The dentry_kill freed ffff88006d573600 just as the remove recursive was walking
it.
In order to fix this, the list walk needs to be modified a bit to take
the parent->d_lock. The safe version is no longer necessary, as every
time we remove a child, the parent->d_lock must be released and the
list walk must start over. Each time a child is removed, even though it
may still be on the list, it should be skipped by the first check
in the loop:
if (!debugfs_positive(child))
continue;

debugfs_remove_recursive() is wrong,
1. it wrongly assumes that !list_empty(d_subdirs) means that this
dir should be removed.
This is not that bad by itself, but:
2. if d_subdirs does not becomes empty after __debugfs_remove()
it gives up and silently fails, it doesn't even try to remove
other entries.
However ->d_subdirs can be non-empty because it still has the
already deleted !debugfs_positive() entries.
3. simple_release_fs() is called even if __debugfs_remove() fails.
Suppose we have
dir1/
dir2/
file2
file1
and someone opens dir1/dir2/file2.
Now, debugfs_remove_recursive(dir1/dir2) succeeds, and dir1/dir2 goes
away.
But debugfs_remove_recursive(dir1) silently fails and doesn't remove
this directory. Because it tries to delete (the already deleted)
dir1/dir2/file2 again and then fails due to "Avoid infinite loop"
logic.
Test-case:
#!/bin/sh
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo 'p:probe/sigprocmask sigprocmask' >> kprobe_events
sleep 1000 < events/probe/sigprocmask/id &
echo -n >| kprobe_events
[ -d events/probe ] && echo "ERR!! failed to rm probe"
And after that it is not possible to create another probe entry.
With this patch debugfs_remove_recursive() skips !debugfs_positive()
files although this is not strictly needed. The most important change
is that it does not try to make ->d_subdirs empty, it simply scans
the whole list(s) recursively and removes as much as possible.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.
A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.
Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.
This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.
The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and
from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.
The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to
handle those places with simple trivial patches.
Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
for most of the code size growth in my git tree.
Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
"capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.
While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process
netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed
usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.
Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
linux-next.
After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves. For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Setting fops and private data outside of the mutex at debugfs file
creation introduces a race where the files can be opened with the wrong
file operations and private data. It is easy to trigger with a process
waiting on file creation notification.

debugfs: dont stop on first failed recursive delete
While running a while loop of removing a module that removes a debugfs
directory with debugfs_remove_recursive, and at the same time doing a
while loop of cat of a file in that directory, I would hit a point where
somehow the cat of the file caused the remove to fail.
The result is that other files did not get removed when the module
was removed. I simple read of one of those file can oops the kernel
because the operations to the file no longer exist (removed by module).
The funny thing is that the file being cat'ed was removed. It was
the siblings that were not. I see in the code to debugfs_remove_recursive
there's a test that checks if the child fails to bail out of the loop
to prevent an infinite loop.
What this patch does is to still try any siblings in that directory.
If all the siblings fail, or there are no more siblings, then we exit
the loop.
This fixes the above symptom, but...
This is no full proof. It makes the debugfs_remove_recursive a bit more
robust, but it does not explain why the one file failed. There may
be some kind of delay deletion that makes the debugfs think it did
not succeed. So this patch is more of a fix for the symptom but not
the disease.
This patch still makes the debugfs_remove_recursive more robust and
until I can find out why the bug exists, this patch will keep
the kernel from oopsing in most cases. Even after the cause is found
I think this change can stand on its own and should be kept.

Impact: add new debugfs API
With ftrace, some tracers are registered in early initcalls
and attempt to create files on the debugfs filesystem.
Depending on when they are activated, they can try to create their
file at any time. Some checks can be done on the tracing area
but providing a helper to know if debugfs is registered make it
really more easy.

Discussion on the mailing list questioned the use of these
magic values in userspace, concluding these values are already
exported to userspace via statfs and their correct/incorrect
usage is left up to the userspace application.

debugfs_remove_recursive() will remove a dentry and all its children.
Drivers can use this to zap their whole debugfs tree so that they don't
need to keep track of every single debugfs dentry they created.
It may fail to remove the whole tree in certain cases:
sh-3.2# rmmod atmel-mci < /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/ios/clock
mmc0: card b368 removed
atmel_mci atmel_mci.0: Lost dma0chan1, falling back to PIO
sh-3.2# ls /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/
ios
But I'm not sure if that case can be handled in any sane manner.

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.
This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

Hi,
This patch kills the pointless debugfs rmdir() printk() when called on a
non-empty directory. blktrace will sometimes have to call it a few times
when forcefully ending a trace, which polutes the log with pointless
warnings.
Rationale:
- It's more code to work-around this "problem" in the debugfs users, and
you would have to add code to check for empty directories to do so (or
assume that debugfs is using simple_ helpers, but that would be a
layering violation).
- Other rmdir() implementations don't complain about something this
silly.
