[PATCH] mnt: allow to add a mount into an existing group

From: Andrei Vagin
Date: Fri Apr 28 2017 - 01:19:12 EST


Now a shared group can be only inherited from a source mount.
This patch adds an ability to add a mount into an existing shared
group.

mount(source, target, NULL, MS_SET_GROUP, NULL)

mount() with the MS_SET_GROUP flag adds the "target" mount into a group
of the "source" mount. The calling process has to have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN
capability in namespaces of these mounts. The source and the target
mounts have to have the same super block.

This new functionality together with "mnt: Tuck mounts under others
instead of creating shadow/side mounts." allows CRIU to dump and restore
any set of mount namespaces.

Currently we have a lot of issues about dumping and restoring mount
namespaces. The bigest problem is that we can't construct mount trees
directly due to several reasons:
* groups can't be set, they can be only inherited
* file systems has to be mounted from the specified user namespaces
* the mount() syscall doesn't just create one mount -- the mount is
also propagated to all members of a parent group
* umount() doesn't detach mounts from all members of a group
(mounts with children are not umounted)
* mounts are propagated underneath of existing mounts
* mount() doesn't allow to make bind-mounts between two namespaces
* processes can have opened file descriptors to overmounted files

All these operations are non-trivial, making the task of restoring
a mount namespace practically unsolvable for reasonable time. The
proposed change allows to restore a mount namespace in a direct
manner, without any super complex logic.
