Previously a sharing group (shared and master ids pair) can be only
inherited when mount is created via bindmount. This patch adds an
ability to add an existing private mount into an existing sharing group.
With this functionality one can first create the desired mount tree from
only private mounts (without the need to care about undesired mount
propagation or mount creation order implied by sharing group
dependencies), and next then setup any desired mount sharing between
those mounts in tree as needed.
This allows CRIU to restore any set of mount namespaces, mount trees and
sharing group trees for a container.
We have many issues with restoring mounts in CRIU related to sharing
groups and propagation:
- reverse sharing groups vs mount tree order requires complex mounts
reordering which mostly implies also using some temporary mounts
(please see https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/3/23/569 for more info)
- mount() syscall creates tons of mounts due to propagation
- mount re-parenting due to propagation
- "Mount Trap" due to propagation
- "Non Uniform" propagation, meaning that with different tricks with
mount order and temporary children-"lock" mounts one can create mount
trees which can't be restored without those tricks
(see https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/contributions/640/)
With this new functionality we can resolve all the problems with
propagation at once.

This is a rework of "mnt: allow to add a mount into an existing group"
patch from Andrei. https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/28/20
New do_set_group is similar to do_move_mount, but with some restrictions
of do_move_mount removed and that's why:
1) Allow "cross-namespace" sharing group set. If we allow operation only
with mounts from current+anon mount namespace one would still be able to
setns(from_mntns) + open_tree(from, OPEN_TREE_CLONE) + setns(to_mntns) +
move_mount(anon, to, MOVE_MOUNT_SET_GROUP) to set sharing group to mount
in different mount namespace with source mount. But with this approach
we would need to create anon mount namespace and mount copy each time,
which is just a waste of resources. So instead lets just check if we are
allowed to modify both mount namespaces (which looks equivalent to what
setns-es and open_tree check).
2) Skip checks wich only apply to actually moving mount which we have in
do_move_mount and open_tree. We don't need to check for MNT_LOCKED,
d_is_dir matching, unbindable, nsfs loops and ancestor relation as we
don't move mounts.
Also let's add some new checks:
1) Don't allow to copy sharing from mount with narrow root to a wider
root, so that user does not have power to receive more propagations when
user already has. (proposed by Andrei)
2) Don't allow to copy sharing from mount with locked children for the
same reason, as user shouldn't see propagations to areas overmounted by
locked mounts (if the user could not already do it before sharing
adjustment).
3) If From is private for MOVE_MOUNT_SET_GROUP let's report an error
instead of just doing nothing, so that the user knows that there is
probably some logical usage error. (proposed by Christian)
Security note: there would be no (new) loops in sharing groups tree,
because this new move_mount(MOVE_MOUNT_SET_GROUP) operation only adds
one _private_ mount to one group (without moving between groups), the
sharing groups tree itself stays unchanged after it.
In Virtuozzo we have "mount-v2" implementation, based with the original
kernel patch from Andrei, tested for almost a year and it actually
decreased number of bugs with mounts a lot. One can take a look on the
implementation of sharing group restore in CRIU in "mount-v2" here:
https://src.openvz.org/projects/OVZ/repos/criu/browse/criu/mount-v2.c#898
This works almost the same with current version of patch if we replace
mount(MS_SET_GROUP) to move_mount(MOVE_MOUNT_SET_GROUP), please see
super-draft port for mainstream criu, this at least passes
non-user-namespaced mount tests (zdtm.py --mounts-v2 -f ns).
https://github.com/Snorch/criu/commits/mount-v2-poc
v2: Solve the problem mentioned by Andrei:
- check mnt_root of "to" is in the sub-tree of mnt_root of "from"
- also check "from" has no locked mounts in subroot of "to"
v3: Add checks:
- check paths to be mount root dentries
- return EINVAL if From is private (no sharing to copy)
v4: Protect mnt->mnt_flags modification with mount_lock
