rename(): fix the locking of subdirectories

rename(): fix the locking of subdirectories

commit 22e111ed6c83dcde3037fc81176012721bc34c0b upstream.

We should never lock two subdirectories without having taken
->s_vfs_rename_mutex; inode pointer order or not, the "order" proposed
in 28eceeda130f "fs: Lock moved directories" is not transitive, with
the usual consequences.

The rationale for locking renamed subdirectory in all cases was
the possibility of race between rename modifying .. in a subdirectory to
reflect the new parent and another thread modifying the same subdirectory.
For a lot of filesystems that's not a problem, but for some it can lead
to trouble (e.g. the case when short directory contents is kept in the
inode, but creating a file in it might push it across the size limit
and copy its contents into separate data block(s)).

However, we need that only in case when the parent does change -
otherwise ->rename() doesn't need to do anything with .. entry in the
first place. Some instances are lazy and do a tautological update anyway,
but it's really not hard to avoid.

Amended locking rules for rename():
find the parent(s) of source and target
if source and target have the same parent
lock the common parent
else
lock ->s_vfs_rename_mutex
lock both parents, in ancestor-first order; if neither
is an ancestor of another, lock the parent of source
first.
find the source and target.
if source and target have the same parent
if operation is an overwriting rename of a subdirectory
lock the target subdirectory
else
if source is a subdirectory
lock the source
if target is a subdirectory
lock the target
lock non-directories involved, in inode pointer order if both
source and target are such.

That way we are guaranteed that parents are locked (for obvious reasons),
that any renamed non-directory is locked (nfsd relies upon that),
that any victim is locked (emptiness check needs that, among other things)
and subdirectory that changes parent is locked (needed to protect the update
of .. entries). We are also guaranteed that any operation locking more
than one directory either takes ->s_vfs_rename_mutex or locks a parent
followed by its child.

Merge tag 'v6.5/vfs.rename.locking' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs rename locking updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work from Jan to fix problems with cross-directory
renames originally reported in [1].

To quickly sum it up some filesystems (so far we know at least about
ext4, udf, f2fs, ocfs2, likely also reiserfs, gfs2 and others) need to
lock the directory when it is being renamed into another directory.

This is because we need to update the parent pointer in the directory
in that case and if that races with other operations on the directory,
in particular a conversion from one directory format into another, bad
things can happen.

So far we've done the locking in the filesystem code but recently
Darrick pointed out in [2] that the RENAME_EXCHANGE case was missing.
That one is particularly nasty because RENAME_EXCHANGE can arbitrarily
mix regular files and directories and proper lock ordering is not
achievable in the filesystems alone.

This patch set adds locking into vfs_rename() so that not only parent
directories but also moved inodes, regardless of whether they are
directories or not, are locked when calling into the filesystem.

This means establishing a locking order for unrelated directories. New
helpers are added for this purpose and our documentation is updated to
cover this in detail.

The locking is now actually easier to follow as we now always lock
source and target. We've always locked the target independent of
whether it was a directory or file and we've always locked source if
it was a regular file. The exact details for why this came about can
be found in [3] and [4]"

fs: Lock moved directories

When a directory is moved to a different directory, some filesystems
(udf, ext4, ocfs2, f2fs, and likely gfs2, reiserfs, and others) need to
update their pointer to the parent and this must not race with other
operations on the directory. Lock the directories when they are moved.
Although not all filesystems need this locking, we perform it in
vfs_rename() because getting the lock ordering right is really difficult
and we don't want to expose these locking details to filesystems.
