 Subject: Re: switch_root...

 ...
 ...
 ...

 If you're _not_ running out of init_ramfs (if for example you're using initrd
 instead), you probably shouldn't use switch_root because it's the wrong tool.

 Basically what the sucker does is something like the following shell script:

  find / -xdev | xargs rm -rf
  cd "$1"
  shift
  mount --move . /
  exec chroot . "$@"

 There are a couple reasons that won't work as a shell script:

 1) If you delete the commands out of your $PATH, your shell scripts can't run
 more commands, but you can't start using dynamically linked _new_ commands
 until after you do the chroot because the path to the dynamic linker is wrong.
 So there's a step that needs to be sort of atomic but can't be as a shell
 script.  (You can work around this with static linking or very carefully laid
 out paths and sequencing, but it's brittle, ugly, and non-obvious.)

 2) The "find | rm" bit will actually delete everything because the mount points
 still show up (even if their contents don't), and rm -rf will then happily zap
 that.  So the first line is an oversimplification of what you need to do _not_
 to descend into other filesystems and delete their contents.

 The reason we do this is to free up memory, by the way.  Since initramfs is a
 ramfs, deleting its contents frees up the memory it uses.  (We leave it with
 one remaining dentry for the new mount point, but that's ok.)

 Note that you cannot ever umount rootfs, for approximately the same reason you
 can't kill PID 1.  The kernel tracks mount points as a doubly linked list, and
 the pointer to the start/end of that list always points to an entry that's
 known to be there (rootfs), so it never has to worry about moving that pointer
 and it never has to worry about the list being empty.  (Back around 2.6.13
 there _was_ a bug that let you umount rootfs, and the system locked hard the
 instant you did so endlessly looping to find the end of the mount list and
 never stopping.  They fixed it.)

 Oh, and the reason we mount --move _and_ do the chroot is due to the way "/"
 works.  Each process has two special symlinks, ".", and "/".  Each of them
 points to the dentry of a directory, and give you a location paths can start
 from.  (Historically ".." was also special, because you could enter a
 directory via a symlink so backing out to the directory you came from doesn't
 necessarily mean the one physically above where "." points to.  These days I
 think it's just handed off to the filesystem.)

 Anyway, path resolution starts with "." or "/" (although the "./" at the start
 of the path may be implicit), meaning it's relative to one of those two
 directories.  Your current directory, and your current root directory.  The
 chdir() syscall changes where "." points to, and the chroot() syscall changes
 where "/" points to.  (Again, both are per-process which is why chroot only
 affects your current process and its child processes.)

 Note that chroot() does _not_ change where "." points to, and back before they
 put crazy security checks into the kernel your current directory could be
 somewhere you could no longer access after the chroot.  (The command line
 chroot does a cd as well, the chroot _syscall_ is what I'm talking about.)

 The reason mounting something new over / has no obvious effect is the same
 reason mounting something over your current directory has no obvious effect:
 the . and / links aren't recalculated after a mount, so they still point to
 the same dentry they did before, even if that dentry is no longer accessible
 by other means.  Note that "cd ." is a NOP, and "chroot /" is a nop; both look
 up the cached dentry and set it right back.  They don't re-parse any paths,
 because they're what all paths your process uses would be relative to.

 That's why the careful sequencing above: we cd into the new mount point before
 we do the mount --move.  Moving the mount point would otherwise make it
 totally inaccessible to us because cd-ing to the old path wouldn't give it to
 us anymore, and cd "/" just gives us the cached dentry from when the process
 was created (in this case the old initramfs one).  But the "." symlink gives
 us the dentry of the filesystem we just moved, so we can then "chroot ." to
 copy that dentry to "/" and get the new filesystem.  If we _didn't_ save that
 dentry in "." we couldn't get it back after the mount --move.

 (Yes, this is all screwy and I had to email questions to Linus Torvalds to get
 it straight myself.  I keep meaning to write up a "how mount actually works"
 document someday...)

	If you're _not_ running out of init_ramfs (if for example you're using initrd
	instead), you probably shouldn't use switch_root because it's the wrong tool.

	Basically what the sucker does is something like the following shell script:

	find / -xdev \| xargs rm -rf
	cd "$1"
	shift
	mount --move . /
	exec chroot . "$@"

	There are a couple reasons that won't work as a shell script:

	1) If you delete the commands out of your $PATH, your shell scripts can't run
	more commands, but you can't start using dynamically linked _new_ commands
	until after you do the chroot because the path to the dynamic linker is wrong.
	So there's a step that needs to be sort of atomic but can't be as a shell
	script. (You can work around this with static linking or very carefully laid
	out paths and sequencing, but it's brittle, ugly, and non-obvious.)

	2) The "find \| rm" bit will actually delete everything because the mount points
	still show up (even if their contents don't), and rm -rf will then happily zap
	that. So the first line is an oversimplification of what you need to do _not_
	to descend into other filesystems and delete their contents.

	The reason we do this is to free up memory, by the way. Since initramfs is a
	ramfs, deleting its contents frees up the memory it uses. (We leave it with
	one remaining dentry for the new mount point, but that's ok.)

	Note that you cannot ever umount rootfs, for approximately the same reason you
	can't kill PID 1. The kernel tracks mount points as a doubly linked list, and
	the pointer to the start/end of that list always points to an entry that's
	known to be there (rootfs), so it never has to worry about moving that pointer
	and it never has to worry about the list being empty. (Back around 2.6.13
	there _was_ a bug that let you umount rootfs, and the system locked hard the
	instant you did so endlessly looping to find the end of the mount list and
	never stopping. They fixed it.)

	Oh, and the reason we mount --move _and_ do the chroot is due to the way "/"
	works. Each process has two special symlinks, ".", and "/". Each of them
	points to the dentry of a directory, and give you a location paths can start
	from. (Historically ".." was also special, because you could enter a
	directory via a symlink so backing out to the directory you came from doesn't
	necessarily mean the one physically above where "." points to. These days I
	think it's just handed off to the filesystem.)

	Anyway, path resolution starts with "." or "/" (although the "./" at the start
	of the path may be implicit), meaning it's relative to one of those two
	directories. Your current directory, and your current root directory. The
	chdir() syscall changes where "." points to, and the chroot() syscall changes
	where "/" points to. (Again, both are per-process which is why chroot only
	affects your current process and its child processes.)

	Note that chroot() does _not_ change where "." points to, and back before they
	put crazy security checks into the kernel your current directory could be
	somewhere you could no longer access after the chroot. (The command line
	chroot does a cd as well, the chroot _syscall_ is what I'm talking about.)

	The reason mounting something new over / has no obvious effect is the same
	reason mounting something over your current directory has no obvious effect:
	the . and / links aren't recalculated after a mount, so they still point to
	the same dentry they did before, even if that dentry is no longer accessible
	by other means. Note that "cd ." is a NOP, and "chroot /" is a nop; both look
	up the cached dentry and set it right back. They don't re-parse any paths,
	because they're what all paths your process uses would be relative to.

	That's why the careful sequencing above: we cd into the new mount point before
	we do the mount --move. Moving the mount point would otherwise make it
	totally inaccessible to us because cd-ing to the old path wouldn't give it to
	us anymore, and cd "/" just gives us the cached dentry from when the process
	was created (in this case the old initramfs one). But the "." symlink gives
	us the dentry of the filesystem we just moved, so we can then "chroot ." to
	copy that dentry to "/" and get the new filesystem. If we _didn't_ save that
	dentry in "." we couldn't get it back after the mount --move.

	(Yes, this is all screwy and I had to email questions to Linus Torvalds to get
	it straight myself. I keep meaning to write up a "how mount actually works"
	document someday...)
