val_packett.cool added a comment to D46296: add virtiofs kernel module.

A couple more notes from testing:

There's some other place where FUSE layer can pick up zero-padded-to-power-of-two things, now with 1024 instead of 4096:

WARNING: FUSE protocol violation for server mounted at /: Returned an embedded NUL from FUSE_READLINK.  This warning will not be repeated.
Len 1024
0000   62 61 73 68 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |bash............|
0010   00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |................|
…

And trying to just find something in a src tree checkout, there are sporadic errors like

find: ./contrib/llvm-project/llvm/lib/DebugInfo/Symbolize: Bad file descriptor
find: ./sys/dev/qat/qat_hw: Invalid argument
find: ./sys/dev/qat/qat_api/common/stubs: Invalid argument
// etc…

that seem completely random, on one invocation there are none, on another there's a couple…

Thank you for the testing! Are you using writethrough or writeback mode for FUSE? Also, what command line arguments are you using for virtiofsd on the host side?

+1. Will be a lot easier for me to submit my patches then. With those, it almost works well enough for me, the only thing missing is mmap'ed writes.

I'm rebasing this change today and would like to commit it. Would you like me to include your patches? If so, would you prefer them to be folded into the main commit or kept separate as in the tarball you attached?

I wonder if, instead of changing the in-kernel model, this might be better addressed through interposition, either using LDPRELOAD-ed wrappers that convert open(2) to openat(2) (relative a pre-set "root" FD) or within libc itself?

Ah no, the cache_enter_time thing seems to be unrelated. Maybe it was bad luck that I got it very quickly after porting the patches just doing some ls commands; with pkg fetching packages it has happened both with the patches as they are and without them at all; i.e. no matter what. Not sure what can be done, my attempts to "fix" it (with my nonexistent vfs knowledge) seem to only introduce new panics.

Interesting!! The excl->share thing I was getting seems to happen when I mount /home, but not when I mount /home/val only. (On the host /home/val is a mounted ZFS dataset if that matters… well /home is a dataset too but only has the mountpoint dir.)

val_packett.cool added a comment to D38351: [RFC/Proposal] Mechanism for in-kernel AT_FDCWD substitution with provided FD for oblivious sandboxing with Capsicum.

I wonder if, instead of "fake root", you made it so that it uses the actual root vnode for the process, the one that's changed by chroot(2)? That would require implementing fchroot(2), like NetBSD did, and that's assuming you're ok with the NO_NEW_PRIVS flag set, ie the SUID bits being ignored, because otherwise chroot(2)/fchroot(2) would require root privileges. The cap_enter() would then have to set the process' root vp to NULL, or to some dead vnode, when called.

Yeah, I solved the same problem in drm initially by writing a dummy driver too, but now it's been replaced by FB_FLAG_NOWRITE.
This is how we're doing it, it's a bit annoying that we have to check the driver and reach into its softc, ideally flags like that would be a more outer-level thing somehow (?)

Oh, what's also pretty neat about the "MONOTONIC includes suspend like OpenBSD" choice is that software doing some security timeouts like sudo does would default to the secure behavior (not prolonging timeouts across suspends) even without doing anything for suspend-awareness / while being just POSIX without any OS-specific code!! :)

I couldn't figure out a good way to generalize the falloc_noinstall/finstall/fdrop calls since the finstall needs fflags that are unique per special fd. I could move falloc_noinstall and fdrop into sys___specialfd(), I believe.
