Christian Brauner 1ca9de8867 fs: kill MNT_ONRB
commit 344bac8f0d upstream.

Move mnt->mnt_node into the union with mnt->mnt_rcu and mnt->mnt_llist
instead of keeping it with mnt->mnt_list. This allows us to use
RB_CLEAR_NODE(&mnt->mnt_node) in umount_tree() as well as
list_empty(&mnt->mnt_node). That in turn allows us to remove MNT_ONRB.

This also fixes the bug reported in [1] where seemingly MNT_ONRB wasn't
set in @mnt->mnt_flags even though the mount was present in the mount
rbtree of the mount namespace.

The root cause is the following race. When a btrfs subvolume is mounted
a temporary mount is created:

btrfs_get_tree_subvol()
{
        mnt = fc_mount()
        // Register the newly allocated mount with sb->mounts:
        lock_mount_hash();
        list_add_tail(&mnt->mnt_instance, &mnt->mnt.mnt_sb->s_mounts);
        unlock_mount_hash();
}

and registered on sb->s_mounts. Later it is added to an anonymous mount
namespace via mount_subvol():

-> mount_subvol()
   -> mount_subtree()
      -> alloc_mnt_ns()
         mnt_add_to_ns()
         vfs_path_lookup()
         put_mnt_ns()

The mnt_add_to_ns() call raises MNT_ONRB in @mnt->mnt_flags. If someone
concurrently does a ro remount:

reconfigure_super()
-> sb_prepare_remount_readonly()
   {
           list_for_each_entry(mnt, &sb->s_mounts, mnt_instance) {
   }

all mounts registered in sb->s_mounts are visited and first
MNT_WRITE_HOLD is raised, then MNT_READONLY is raised, and finally
MNT_WRITE_HOLD is removed again.

The flag modification for MNT_WRITE_HOLD/MNT_READONLY and MNT_ONRB race
so MNT_ONRB might be lost.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
