binder: implement binderfs As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2018 in Vancouver [1] this is the implementation of binderfs. /* Abstract */ binderfs is a backwards-compatible filesystem for Android's binder ipc mechanism. Each ipc namespace will mount a new binderfs instance. Mounting binderfs multiple times at different locations in the same ipc namespace will not cause a new super block to be allocated and hence it will be the same filesystem instance. Each new binderfs mount will have its own set of binder devices only visible in the ipc namespace it has been mounted in. All devices in a new binderfs mount will follow the scheme binder%d and numbering will always start at 0. /* Backwards compatibility */ Devices requested in the Kconfig via CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES for the initial ipc namespace will work as before. They will be registered via misc_register() and appear in the devtmpfs mount. Specifically, the standard devices binder, hwbinder, and vndbinder will all appear in their standard locations in /dev. Mounting or unmounting the binderfs mount in the initial ipc namespace will have no effect on these devices, i.e. they will neither show up in the binderfs mount nor will they disappear when the binderfs mount is gone. /* binder-control */ Each new binderfs instance comes with a binder-control device. No other devices will be present at first. The binder-control device can be used to dynamically allocate binder devices. All requests operate on the binderfs mount the binder-control device resides in. Assuming a new instance of binderfs has been mounted at /dev/binderfs via mount -t binderfs binderfs /dev/binderfs. Then a request to create a new binder device can be made as illustrated in [2]. Binderfs devices can simply be removed via unlink(). /* Implementation details */ - dynamic major number allocation: When binderfs is registered as a new filesystem it will dynamically allocate a new major number. The allocated major number will be returned in struct binderfs_device when a new binder device is allocated. - global minor number tracking: Minor are tracked in a global idr struct that is capped at BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR. The minor number tracker is protected by a global mutex. This is the only point of contention between binderfs mounts. - struct binderfs_info: Each binderfs super block has its own struct binderfs_info that tracks specific details about a binderfs instance: - ipc namespace - dentry of the binder-control device - root uid and root gid of the user namespace the binderfs instance was mounted in - mountable by user namespace root: binderfs can be mounted by user namespace root in a non-initial user namespace. The devices will be owned by user namespace root. - binderfs binder devices without misc infrastructure: New binder devices associated with a binderfs mount do not use the full misc_register() infrastructure. The misc_register() infrastructure can only create new devices in the host's devtmpfs mount. binderfs does however only make devices appear under its own mountpoint and thus allocates new character device nodes from the inode of the root dentry of the super block. This will have the side-effect that binderfs specific device nodes do not appear in sysfs. This behavior is similar to devpts allocated pts devices and has no effect on the functionality of the ipc mechanism itself.

binderfs: implement "max" mount option Since binderfs can be mounted by userns root in non-initial user namespaces some precautions are in order. First, a way to set a maximum on the number of binder devices that can be allocated per binderfs instance and second, a way to reserve a reasonable chunk of binderfs devices for the initial ipc namespace. A first approach as seen in [1] used sysctls similiar to devpts but was shown to be flawed (cf. [2] and [3]) since some aspects were unneeded. This is an alternative approach which avoids sysctls completely and instead switches to a single mount option. Starting with this commit binderfs instances can be mounted with a limit on the number of binder devices that can be allocated. The max=<count> mount option serves as a per-instance limit. If max=<count> is set then only <count> number of binder devices can be allocated in this binderfs instance. This allows to safely bind-mount binderfs instances into unprivileged user namespaces since userns root in a non-initial user namespace cannot change the mount option as long as it does not own the mount namespace the binderfs mount was created in and hence cannot drain the host of minor device numbers [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221133909.18794-1-christian@brauner.io/ [2]; https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221163316.GA8517@kroah.com/ [3]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHRSSEx+gDVW4fKKK8oZNAir9G5icJLyodO8hykv3O0O1jt2FQ@mail.gmail.com/ [4]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221192044.5yvfnuri7gdop4rs@brauner.io/ Cc: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

binder: implement binderfs As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2018 in Vancouver [1] this is the implementation of binderfs. /* Abstract */ binderfs is a backwards-compatible filesystem for Android's binder ipc mechanism. Each ipc namespace will mount a new binderfs instance. Mounting binderfs multiple times at different locations in the same ipc namespace will not cause a new super block to be allocated and hence it will be the same filesystem instance. Each new binderfs mount will have its own set of binder devices only visible in the ipc namespace it has been mounted in. All devices in a new binderfs mount will follow the scheme binder%d and numbering will always start at 0. /* Backwards compatibility */ Devices requested in the Kconfig via CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES for the initial ipc namespace will work as before. They will be registered via misc_register() and appear in the devtmpfs mount. Specifically, the standard devices binder, hwbinder, and vndbinder will all appear in their standard locations in /dev. Mounting or unmounting the binderfs mount in the initial ipc namespace will have no effect on these devices, i.e. they will neither show up in the binderfs mount nor will they disappear when the binderfs mount is gone. /* binder-control */ Each new binderfs instance comes with a binder-control device. No other devices will be present at first. The binder-control device can be used to dynamically allocate binder devices. All requests operate on the binderfs mount the binder-control device resides in. Assuming a new instance of binderfs has been mounted at /dev/binderfs via mount -t binderfs binderfs /dev/binderfs. Then a request to create a new binder device can be made as illustrated in [2]. Binderfs devices can simply be removed via unlink(). /* Implementation details */ - dynamic major number allocation: When binderfs is registered as a new filesystem it will dynamically allocate a new major number. The allocated major number will be returned in struct binderfs_device when a new binder device is allocated. - global minor number tracking: Minor are tracked in a global idr struct that is capped at BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR. The minor number tracker is protected by a global mutex. This is the only point of contention between binderfs mounts. - struct binderfs_info: Each binderfs super block has its own struct binderfs_info that tracks specific details about a binderfs instance: - ipc namespace - dentry of the binder-control device - root uid and root gid of the user namespace the binderfs instance was mounted in - mountable by user namespace root: binderfs can be mounted by user namespace root in a non-initial user namespace. The devices will be owned by user namespace root. - binderfs binder devices without misc infrastructure: New binder devices associated with a binderfs mount do not use the full misc_register() infrastructure. The misc_register() infrastructure can only create new devices in the host's devtmpfs mount. binderfs does however only make devices appear under its own mountpoint and thus allocates new character device nodes from the inode of the root dentry of the super block. This will have the side-effect that binderfs specific device nodes do not appear in sysfs. This behavior is similar to devpts allocated pts devices and has no effect on the functionality of the ipc mechanism itself.

binder: implement binderfs As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2018 in Vancouver [1] this is the implementation of binderfs. /* Abstract */ binderfs is a backwards-compatible filesystem for Android's binder ipc mechanism. Each ipc namespace will mount a new binderfs instance. Mounting binderfs multiple times at different locations in the same ipc namespace will not cause a new super block to be allocated and hence it will be the same filesystem instance. Each new binderfs mount will have its own set of binder devices only visible in the ipc namespace it has been mounted in. All devices in a new binderfs mount will follow the scheme binder%d and numbering will always start at 0. /* Backwards compatibility */ Devices requested in the Kconfig via CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES for the initial ipc namespace will work as before. They will be registered via misc_register() and appear in the devtmpfs mount. Specifically, the standard devices binder, hwbinder, and vndbinder will all appear in their standard locations in /dev. Mounting or unmounting the binderfs mount in the initial ipc namespace will have no effect on these devices, i.e. they will neither show up in the binderfs mount nor will they disappear when the binderfs mount is gone. /* binder-control */ Each new binderfs instance comes with a binder-control device. No other devices will be present at first. The binder-control device can be used to dynamically allocate binder devices. All requests operate on the binderfs mount the binder-control device resides in. Assuming a new instance of binderfs has been mounted at /dev/binderfs via mount -t binderfs binderfs /dev/binderfs. Then a request to create a new binder device can be made as illustrated in [2]. Binderfs devices can simply be removed via unlink(). /* Implementation details */ - dynamic major number allocation: When binderfs is registered as a new filesystem it will dynamically allocate a new major number. The allocated major number will be returned in struct binderfs_device when a new binder device is allocated. - global minor number tracking: Minor are tracked in a global idr struct that is capped at BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR. The minor number tracker is protected by a global mutex. This is the only point of contention between binderfs mounts. - struct binderfs_info: Each binderfs super block has its own struct binderfs_info that tracks specific details about a binderfs instance: - ipc namespace - dentry of the binder-control device - root uid and root gid of the user namespace the binderfs instance was mounted in - mountable by user namespace root: binderfs can be mounted by user namespace root in a non-initial user namespace. The devices will be owned by user namespace root. - binderfs binder devices without misc infrastructure: New binder devices associated with a binderfs mount do not use the full misc_register() infrastructure. The misc_register() infrastructure can only create new devices in the host's devtmpfs mount. binderfs does however only make devices appear under its own mountpoint and thus allocates new character device nodes from the inode of the root dentry of the super block. This will have the side-effect that binderfs specific device nodes do not appear in sysfs. This behavior is similar to devpts allocated pts devices and has no effect on the functionality of the ipc mechanism itself.

binderfs: implement "max" mount option Since binderfs can be mounted by userns root in non-initial user namespaces some precautions are in order. First, a way to set a maximum on the number of binder devices that can be allocated per binderfs instance and second, a way to reserve a reasonable chunk of binderfs devices for the initial ipc namespace. A first approach as seen in [1] used sysctls similiar to devpts but was shown to be flawed (cf. [2] and [3]) since some aspects were unneeded. This is an alternative approach which avoids sysctls completely and instead switches to a single mount option. Starting with this commit binderfs instances can be mounted with a limit on the number of binder devices that can be allocated. The max=<count> mount option serves as a per-instance limit. If max=<count> is set then only <count> number of binder devices can be allocated in this binderfs instance. This allows to safely bind-mount binderfs instances into unprivileged user namespaces since userns root in a non-initial user namespace cannot change the mount option as long as it does not own the mount namespace the binderfs mount was created in and hence cannot drain the host of minor device numbers [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221133909.18794-1-christian@brauner.io/ [2]; https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221163316.GA8517@kroah.com/ [3]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHRSSEx+gDVW4fKKK8oZNAir9G5icJLyodO8hykv3O0O1jt2FQ@mail.gmail.com/ [4]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221192044.5yvfnuri7gdop4rs@brauner.io/ Cc: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

binder: implement binderfs As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2018 in Vancouver [1] this is the implementation of binderfs. /* Abstract */ binderfs is a backwards-compatible filesystem for Android's binder ipc mechanism. Each ipc namespace will mount a new binderfs instance. Mounting binderfs multiple times at different locations in the same ipc namespace will not cause a new super block to be allocated and hence it will be the same filesystem instance. Each new binderfs mount will have its own set of binder devices only visible in the ipc namespace it has been mounted in. All devices in a new binderfs mount will follow the scheme binder%d and numbering will always start at 0. /* Backwards compatibility */ Devices requested in the Kconfig via CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES for the initial ipc namespace will work as before. They will be registered via misc_register() and appear in the devtmpfs mount. Specifically, the standard devices binder, hwbinder, and vndbinder will all appear in their standard locations in /dev. Mounting or unmounting the binderfs mount in the initial ipc namespace will have no effect on these devices, i.e. they will neither show up in the binderfs mount nor will they disappear when the binderfs mount is gone. /* binder-control */ Each new binderfs instance comes with a binder-control device. No other devices will be present at first. The binder-control device can be used to dynamically allocate binder devices. All requests operate on the binderfs mount the binder-control device resides in. Assuming a new instance of binderfs has been mounted at /dev/binderfs via mount -t binderfs binderfs /dev/binderfs. Then a request to create a new binder device can be made as illustrated in [2]. Binderfs devices can simply be removed via unlink(). /* Implementation details */ - dynamic major number allocation: When binderfs is registered as a new filesystem it will dynamically allocate a new major number. The allocated major number will be returned in struct binderfs_device when a new binder device is allocated. - global minor number tracking: Minor are tracked in a global idr struct that is capped at BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR. The minor number tracker is protected by a global mutex. This is the only point of contention between binderfs mounts. - struct binderfs_info: Each binderfs super block has its own struct binderfs_info that tracks specific details about a binderfs instance: - ipc namespace - dentry of the binder-control device - root uid and root gid of the user namespace the binderfs instance was mounted in - mountable by user namespace root: binderfs can be mounted by user namespace root in a non-initial user namespace. The devices will be owned by user namespace root. - binderfs binder devices without misc infrastructure: New binder devices associated with a binderfs mount do not use the full misc_register() infrastructure. The misc_register() infrastructure can only create new devices in the host's devtmpfs mount. binderfs does however only make devices appear under its own mountpoint and thus allocates new character device nodes from the inode of the root dentry of the super block. This will have the side-effect that binderfs specific device nodes do not appear in sysfs. This behavior is similar to devpts allocated pts devices and has no effect on the functionality of the ipc mechanism itself.

binderfs: switch from d_add() to d_instantiate() In a previous commit we switched from a d_alloc_name() + d_lookup() combination to setup a new dentry and find potential duplicates to the more idiomatic lookup_one_len(). As far as I understand, this also means we need to switch from d_add() to d_instantiate() since lookup_one_len() will create a new dentry when it doesn't find an existing one and add the new dentry to the hash queues. So we only need to call d_instantiate() to connect the dentry to the inode and turn it into a positive dentry. If we were to use d_add() we sure see stack traces like the following indicating that adding the same dentry twice over the same inode: [ 744.441889] CPU: 4 PID: 2849 Comm: landscape-sysin Not tainted 5.0.0-rc1-brauner-binderfs #243 [ 744.441889] Hardware name: Dell DCS XS24-SC2 /XS24-SC2 , BIOS S59_3C20 04/07/2011 [ 744.441889] RIP: 0010:__d_lookup_rcu+0x76/0x190 [ 744.441889] Code: 89 75 c0 49 c1 e9 20 49 89 fd 45 89 ce 41 83 e6 07 42 8d 04 f5 00 00 00 00 89 45 c8 eb 0c 48 8b 1b 48 85 db 0f 84 81 00 00 00 <44> 8b 63 fc 4c 3b 6b 10 75 ea 48 83 7b 08 00 74 e3 41 83 e4 fe 41 [ 744.441889] RSP: 0018:ffffb8c984e27ad0 EFLAGS: 00000282 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffff13 [ 744.441889] RAX: 0000000000000038 RBX: ffff9407ef770c08 RCX: ffffb8c980011000 [ 744.441889] RDX: ffffb8c984e27b54 RSI: ffffb8c984e27ce0 RDI: ffff9407e6689600 [ 744.441889] RBP: ffffb8c984e27b28 R08: ffffb8c984e27ba4 R09: 0000000000000007 [ 744.441889] R10: ffff9407e5c4f05c R11: 973f3eb9d84a94e5 R12: 0000000000000002 [ 744.441889] R13: ffff9407e6689600 R14: 0000000000000007 R15: 00000007bfef7a13 [ 744.441889] FS: 00007f0db13bb740(0000) GS:ffff9407f3b00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 744.441889] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 744.441889] CR2: 00007f0dacc51024 CR3: 000000032961a000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 [ 744.441889] Call Trace: [ 744.441889] lookup_fast+0x53/0x300 [ 744.441889] walk_component+0x49/0x350 [ 744.441889] ? inode_permission+0x63/0x1a0 [ 744.441889] link_path_walk.part.33+0x1bc/0x5a0 [ 744.441889] ? path_init+0x190/0x310 [ 744.441889] path_lookupat+0x95/0x210 [ 744.441889] filename_lookup+0xb6/0x190 [ 744.441889] ? __check_object_size+0xb8/0x1b0 [ 744.441889] ? strncpy_from_user+0x50/0x1a0 [ 744.441889] user_path_at_empty+0x36/0x40 [ 744.441889] ? user_path_at_empty+0x36/0x40 [ 744.441889] vfs_statx+0x76/0xe0 [ 744.441889] __do_sys_newstat+0x3d/0x70 [ 744.441889] __x64_sys_newstat+0x16/0x20 [ 744.441889] do_syscall_64+0x5a/0x120 [ 744.441889] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 [ 744.441889] RIP: 0033:0x7f0db0ec2775 [ 744.441889] Code: 00 00 00 75 05 48 83 c4 18 c3 e8 26 55 02 00 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 83 ff 01 48 89 f0 77 30 48 89 c7 48 89 d6 b8 04 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 03 f3 c3 90 48 8b 15 e1 b6 2d 00 f7 d8 64 89 [ 744.441889] RSP: 002b:00007ffc36bc9388 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000004 [ 744.441889] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00007ffc36bc9300 RCX: 00007f0db0ec2775 [ 744.441889] RDX: 00007ffc36bc9400 RSI: 00007ffc36bc9400 RDI: 00007f0dad26f050 [ 744.441889] RBP: 0000000000c0bc60 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000001 [ 744.441889] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 00007ffc36bc9400 [ 744.441889] R13: 0000000000000001 R14: 00000000ffffff9c R15: 0000000000c0bc60 Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian@brauner.io> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

binderfs: implement "max" mount option Since binderfs can be mounted by userns root in non-initial user namespaces some precautions are in order. First, a way to set a maximum on the number of binder devices that can be allocated per binderfs instance and second, a way to reserve a reasonable chunk of binderfs devices for the initial ipc namespace. A first approach as seen in [1] used sysctls similiar to devpts but was shown to be flawed (cf. [2] and [3]) since some aspects were unneeded. This is an alternative approach which avoids sysctls completely and instead switches to a single mount option. Starting with this commit binderfs instances can be mounted with a limit on the number of binder devices that can be allocated. The max=<count> mount option serves as a per-instance limit. If max=<count> is set then only <count> number of binder devices can be allocated in this binderfs instance. This allows to safely bind-mount binderfs instances into unprivileged user namespaces since userns root in a non-initial user namespace cannot change the mount option as long as it does not own the mount namespace the binderfs mount was created in and hence cannot drain the host of minor device numbers [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221133909.18794-1-christian@brauner.io/ [2]; https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221163316.GA8517@kroah.com/ [3]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHRSSEx+gDVW4fKKK8oZNAir9G5icJLyodO8hykv3O0O1jt2FQ@mail.gmail.com/ [4]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221192044.5yvfnuri7gdop4rs@brauner.io/ Cc: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

binderfs: implement "max" mount option Since binderfs can be mounted by userns root in non-initial user namespaces some precautions are in order. First, a way to set a maximum on the number of binder devices that can be allocated per binderfs instance and second, a way to reserve a reasonable chunk of binderfs devices for the initial ipc namespace. A first approach as seen in [1] used sysctls similiar to devpts but was shown to be flawed (cf. [2] and [3]) since some aspects were unneeded. This is an alternative approach which avoids sysctls completely and instead switches to a single mount option. Starting with this commit binderfs instances can be mounted with a limit on the number of binder devices that can be allocated. The max=<count> mount option serves as a per-instance limit. If max=<count> is set then only <count> number of binder devices can be allocated in this binderfs instance. This allows to safely bind-mount binderfs instances into unprivileged user namespaces since userns root in a non-initial user namespace cannot change the mount option as long as it does not own the mount namespace the binderfs mount was created in and hence cannot drain the host of minor device numbers [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221133909.18794-1-christian@brauner.io/ [2]; https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221163316.GA8517@kroah.com/ [3]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHRSSEx+gDVW4fKKK8oZNAir9G5icJLyodO8hykv3O0O1jt2FQ@mail.gmail.com/ [4]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221192044.5yvfnuri7gdop4rs@brauner.io/ Cc: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

binderfs: implement "max" mount option Since binderfs can be mounted by userns root in non-initial user namespaces some precautions are in order. First, a way to set a maximum on the number of binder devices that can be allocated per binderfs instance and second, a way to reserve a reasonable chunk of binderfs devices for the initial ipc namespace. A first approach as seen in [1] used sysctls similiar to devpts but was shown to be flawed (cf. [2] and [3]) since some aspects were unneeded. This is an alternative approach which avoids sysctls completely and instead switches to a single mount option. Starting with this commit binderfs instances can be mounted with a limit on the number of binder devices that can be allocated. The max=<count> mount option serves as a per-instance limit. If max=<count> is set then only <count> number of binder devices can be allocated in this binderfs instance. This allows to safely bind-mount binderfs instances into unprivileged user namespaces since userns root in a non-initial user namespace cannot change the mount option as long as it does not own the mount namespace the binderfs mount was created in and hence cannot drain the host of minor device numbers [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221133909.18794-1-christian@brauner.io/ [2]; https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221163316.GA8517@kroah.com/ [3]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHRSSEx+gDVW4fKKK8oZNAir9G5icJLyodO8hykv3O0O1jt2FQ@mail.gmail.com/ [4]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221192044.5yvfnuri7gdop4rs@brauner.io/ Cc: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

binder: implement binderfs As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2018 in Vancouver [1] this is the implementation of binderfs. /* Abstract */ binderfs is a backwards-compatible filesystem for Android's binder ipc mechanism. Each ipc namespace will mount a new binderfs instance. Mounting binderfs multiple times at different locations in the same ipc namespace will not cause a new super block to be allocated and hence it will be the same filesystem instance. Each new binderfs mount will have its own set of binder devices only visible in the ipc namespace it has been mounted in. All devices in a new binderfs mount will follow the scheme binder%d and numbering will always start at 0. /* Backwards compatibility */ Devices requested in the Kconfig via CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES for the initial ipc namespace will work as before. They will be registered via misc_register() and appear in the devtmpfs mount. Specifically, the standard devices binder, hwbinder, and vndbinder will all appear in their standard locations in /dev. Mounting or unmounting the binderfs mount in the initial ipc namespace will have no effect on these devices, i.e. they will neither show up in the binderfs mount nor will they disappear when the binderfs mount is gone. /* binder-control */ Each new binderfs instance comes with a binder-control device. No other devices will be present at first. The binder-control device can be used to dynamically allocate binder devices. All requests operate on the binderfs mount the binder-control device resides in. Assuming a new instance of binderfs has been mounted at /dev/binderfs via mount -t binderfs binderfs /dev/binderfs. Then a request to create a new binder device can be made as illustrated in [2]. Binderfs devices can simply be removed via unlink(). /* Implementation details */ - dynamic major number allocation: When binderfs is registered as a new filesystem it will dynamically allocate a new major number. The allocated major number will be returned in struct binderfs_device when a new binder device is allocated. - global minor number tracking: Minor are tracked in a global idr struct that is capped at BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR. The minor number tracker is protected by a global mutex. This is the only point of contention between binderfs mounts. - struct binderfs_info: Each binderfs super block has its own struct binderfs_info that tracks specific details about a binderfs instance: - ipc namespace - dentry of the binder-control device - root uid and root gid of the user namespace the binderfs instance was mounted in - mountable by user namespace root: binderfs can be mounted by user namespace root in a non-initial user namespace.

binder: implement binderfs As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2018 in Vancouver [1] this is the implementation of binderfs. /* Abstract */ binderfs is a backwards-compatible filesystem for Android's binder ipc mechanism. Each ipc namespace will mount a new binderfs instance. Mounting binderfs multiple times at different locations in the same ipc namespace will not cause a new super block to be allocated and hence it will be the same filesystem instance. Each new binderfs mount will have its own set of binder devices only visible in the ipc namespace it has been mounted in. All devices in a new binderfs mount will follow the scheme binder%d and numbering will always start at 0. /* Backwards compatibility */ Devices requested in the Kconfig via CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES for the initial ipc namespace will work as before. They will be registered via misc_register() and appear in the devtmpfs mount. Specifically, the standard devices binder, hwbinder, and vndbinder will all appear in their standard locations in /dev. Mounting or unmounting the binderfs mount in the initial ipc namespace will have no effect on these devices, i.e. they will neither show up in the binderfs mount nor will they disappear when the binderfs mount is gone. /* binder-control */ Each new binderfs instance comes with a binder-control device. No other devices will be present at first. The binder-control device can be used to dynamically allocate binder devices. All requests operate on the binderfs mount the binder-control device resides in. Assuming a new instance of binderfs has been mounted at /dev/binderfs via mount -t binderfs binderfs /dev/binderfs. Then a request to create a new binder device can be made as illustrated in [2]. Binderfs devices can simply be removed via unlink(). /* Implementation details */ - dynamic major number allocation: When binderfs is registered as a new filesystem it will dynamically allocate a new major number. The allocated major number will be returned in struct binderfs_device when a new binder device is allocated. - global minor number tracking: Minor are tracked in a global idr struct that is capped at BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR. The minor number tracker is protected by a global mutex. This is the only point of contention between binderfs mounts. - struct binderfs_info: Each binderfs super block has its own struct binderfs_info that tracks specific details about a binderfs instance: - ipc namespace - dentry of the binder-control device - root uid and root gid of the user namespace the binderfs instance was mounted in - mountable by user namespace root: binderfs can be mounted by user namespace root in a non-initial user namespace. The devices will be owned by user namespace root. - binderfs binder devices without misc infrastructure: New binder devices associated with a binderfs mount do not use the full misc_register() infrastructure. The misc_register() infrastructure can only create new devices in the host's devtmpfs mount. binderfs does however only make devices appear under its own mountpoint and thus allocates new character device nodes from the inode of the root dentry of the super block. This will have the side-effect that binderfs specific device nodes do not appear in sysfs.

binderfs: implement "max" mount option Since binderfs can be mounted by userns root in non-initial user namespaces some precautions are in order. First, a way to set a maximum on the number of binder devices that can be allocated per binderfs instance and second, a way to reserve a reasonable chunk of binderfs devices for the initial ipc namespace. A first approach as seen in [1] used sysctls similiar to devpts but was shown to be flawed (cf. [2] and [3]) since some aspects were unneeded. This is an alternative approach which avoids sysctls completely and instead switches to a single mount option. Starting with this commit binderfs instances can be mounted with a limit on the number of binder devices that can be allocated. The max=<count> mount option serves as a per-instance limit. If max=<count> is set then only <count> number of binder devices can be allocated in this binderfs instance. This allows to safely bind-mount binderfs instances into unprivileged user namespaces since userns root in a non-initial user namespace cannot change the mount option as long as it does not own the mount namespace the binderfs mount was created in and hence cannot drain the host of minor device numbers [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221133909.18794-1-christian@brauner.io/ [2]; https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221163316.GA8517@kroah.com/ [3]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHRSSEx+gDVW4fKKK8oZNAir9G5icJLyodO8hykv3O0O1jt2FQ@mail.gmail.com/ [4]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181221192044.5yvfnuri7gdop4rs@brauner.io/ Cc: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

binderfs: make each binderfs mount a new instance When currently mounting binderfs in the same ipc namespace twice: mount -t binder binder /A mount -t binder binder /B then the binderfs instances mounted on /A and /B will be the same, i.e. they will have the same superblock. This was the first approach that seemed reasonable. However, this leads to some problems and inconsistencies: /* private binderfs instance in same ipc namespace */ There is no way for a user to request a private binderfs instance in the same ipc namespace. This request has been made in a private mail to me by two independent people. /* bind-mounts */ If users want the same binderfs instance to appear in multiple places they can use bind mounts. So there is no value in having a request for a new binderfs mount giving them the same instance. /* unexpected behavior */ It's surprising that request to mount binderfs is not giving the user a new instance like tmpfs, devpts, ramfs, and others do. /* past mistakes */ Other pseudo-filesystems once made the same mistakes of giving back the same superblock when actually requesting a new mount (cf. devpts's deprecated "newinstance" option). We should not make the same mistake. Once we've committed to always giving back the same superblock in the same IPC namespace with the next kernel release we will not be able to make that change so better to do it now. /* kdbusfs */ It was pointed out to me that kdbusfs - which is conceptually closely related to binderfs - also allowed users to get a private kdbusfs instance in the same IPC namespace by making each mount of kdbusfs a separate instance. I think that makes a lot of sense. Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

binder: implement binderfs As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2018 in Vancouver [1] this is the implementation of binderfs. /* Abstract */ binderfs is a backwards-compatible filesystem for Android's binder ipc mechanism. Each ipc namespace will mount a new binderfs instance. Mounting binderfs multiple times at different locations in the same ipc namespace will not cause a new super block to be allocated and hence it will be the same filesystem instance. Each new binderfs mount will have its own set of binder devices only visible in the ipc namespace it has been mounted in. All devices in a new binderfs mount will follow the scheme binder%d and numbering will always start at 0. /* Backwards compatibility */ Devices requested in the Kconfig via CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES for the initial ipc namespace will work as before. They will be registered via misc_register() and appear in the devtmpfs mount. Specifically, the standard devices binder, hwbinder, and vndbinder will all appear in their standard locations in /dev. Mounting or unmounting the binderfs mount in the initial ipc namespace will have no effect on these devices, i.e. they will neither show up in the binderfs mount nor will they disappear when the binderfs mount is gone. /* binder-control */ Each new binderfs instance comes with a binder-control device. No other devices will be present at first. The binder-control device can be used to dynamically allocate binder devices. All requests operate on the binderfs mount the binder-control device resides in. Assuming a new instance of binderfs has been mounted at /dev/binderfs via mount -t binderfs binderfs /dev/binderfs. Then a request to create a new binder device can be made as illustrated in [2]. Binderfs devices can simply be removed via unlink(). /* Implementation details */ - dynamic major number allocation: When binderfs is registered as a new filesystem it will dynamically allocate a new major number. The allocated major number will be returned in struct binderfs_device when a new binder device is allocated. - global minor number tracking: Minor are tracked in a global idr struct that is capped at BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR. The minor number tracker is protected by a global mutex. This is the only point of contention between binderfs mounts. - struct binderfs_info: Each binderfs super block has its own struct binderfs_info that tracks specific details about a binderfs instance: - ipc namespace - dentry of the binder-control device - root uid and root gid of the user namespace the binderfs instance was mounted in - mountable by user namespace root: binderfs can be mounted by user namespace root in a non-initial user namespace. The devices will be owned by user namespace root. - binderfs binder devices without misc infrastructure: New binder devices associated with a binderfs mount do not use the full misc_register() infrastructure. The misc_register() infrastructure can only create new devices in the host's devtmpfs mount. binderfs does however only make devices appear under its own mountpoint and thus allocates new character device nodes from the inode of the root dentry of the super block. This will have the side-effect that binderfs specific device nodes do not appear in sysfs. This behavior is similar to devpts allocated pts devices and has no effect on the functionality of the ipc mechanism itself.
