| 160 | Subject: Re: switch_root... |
| 161 | |
| 162 | ... |
| 163 | ... |
| 164 | ... |
| 165 | |
| 166 | If you're _not_ running out of init_ramfs (if for example you're using initrd |
| 167 | instead), you probably shouldn't use switch_root because it's the wrong tool. |
| 168 | |
| 169 | Basically what the sucker does is something like the following shell script: |
| 170 | |
| 171 | find / -xdev | xargs rm -rf |
| 172 | cd "$1" |
| 173 | shift |
| 174 | mount --move . / |
| 175 | exec chroot . "$@" |
| 176 | |
| 177 | There are a couple reasons that won't work as a shell script: |
| 178 | |
| 179 | 1) If you delete the commands out of your $PATH, your shell scripts can't run |
| 180 | more commands, but you can't start using dynamically linked _new_ commands |
| 181 | until after you do the chroot because the path to the dynamic linker is wrong. |
| 182 | So there's a step that needs to be sort of atomic but can't be as a shell |
| 183 | script. (You can work around this with static linking or very carefully laid |
| 184 | out paths and sequencing, but it's brittle, ugly, and non-obvious.) |
| 185 | |
| 186 | 2) The "find | rm" bit will acually delete everything because the mount points |
| 187 | still show up (even if their contents don't), and rm -rf will then happily zap |
| 188 | that. So the first line is an oversimplification of what you need to do _not_ |
| 189 | to descend into other filesystems and delete their contents. |
| 190 | |
| 191 | The reason we do this is to free up memory, by the way. Since initramfs is a |
| 192 | ramfs, deleting its contents frees up the memory it uses. (We leave it with |
| 193 | one remaining dentry for the new mount point, but that's ok.) |
| 194 | |
| 195 | Note that you cannot ever umount rootfs, for approximately the same reason you |
| 196 | can't kill PID 1. The kernel tracks mount points as a doubly linked list, and |
| 197 | the pointer to the start/end of that list always points to an entry that's |
| 198 | known to be there (rootfs), so it never has to worry about moving that pointer |
| 199 | and it never has to worry about the list being empty. (Back around 2.6.13 |
| 200 | there _was_ a bug that let you umount rootfs, and the system locked hard the |
| 201 | instant you did so endlessly looping to find the end of the mount list and |
| 202 | never stopping. They fixed it.) |
| 203 | |
| 204 | Oh, and the reason we mount --move _and_ do the chroot is due to the way "/" |
| 205 | works. Each process has two special symlinks, ".", and "/". Each of them |
| 206 | points to the dentry of a directory, and give you a location paths can start |
| 207 | from. (Historically ".." was also special, because you could enter a |
| 208 | directory via a symlink so backing out to the directory you came from doesn't |
| 209 | necessarily mean the one physically above where "." points to. These days I |
| 210 | think it's just handed off to the filesystem.) |
| 211 | |
| 212 | Anyway, path resolution starts with "." or "/" (although the "./" at the start |
| 213 | of the path may be implicit), meaning it's relative to one of those two |
| 214 | directories. Your current directory, and your current root directory. The |
| 215 | chdir() syscall changes where "." points to, and the chroot() syscall changes |
| 216 | where "/" points to. (Again, both are per-process which is why chroot only |
| 217 | affects your current process and its child processes.) |
| 218 | |
| 219 | Note that chroot() does _not_ change where "." points to, and back before they |
| 220 | put crazy security checks into the kernel your current directory could be |
| 221 | somewhere you could no longer access after the chroot. (The command line |
| 222 | chroot does a cd as well, the chroot _syscall_ is what I'm talking about.) |
| 223 | |
| 224 | The reason mounting something new over / has no obvious effect is the same |
| 225 | reason mounting something over your current directory has no obvious effect: |
| 226 | the . and / links aren't recalculated after a mount, so they still point to |
| 227 | the same dentry they did before, even if that dentry is no longer accessible |
| 228 | by other means. Note that "cd ." is a NOP, and "chroot /" is a nop; both look |
| 229 | up the cached dentry and set it right back. They don't re-parse any paths, |
| 230 | because they're what all paths your process uses would be relative to. |
| 231 | |
| 232 | That's why the careful sequencing above: we cd into the new mount point before |
| 233 | we do the mount --move. Moving the mount point would otherwise make it |
Denys Vlasenko | bf74fb4 | 2015-10-13 12:34:35 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 234 | totally inaccessible to us because cd-ing to the old path wouldn't give it to |

| 239 | dentry in "." we couldn't get it back after the mount --move. |
