[PATCH] binder: implement binderfs

From: Christian Brauner
Date: Tue Dec 04 2018 - 08:13:05 EST


As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2018 in Vancouver [1] this is the
implementation of binderfs. If you want to skip reading and just see how it
works, please go to [2].

binderfs is a backwards-compatible filesystem for Android's binder ipc
mechanism. Each ipc namespace will mount a new binderfs instance. Mounting
binderfs multiple times at different locations in the same ipc namespace
will not cause a new super block to be allocated and hence it will be the
same filesystem instance.
Each new binderfs mount will have its own set of binder devices only
visible in the ipc namespace it has been mounted in. All devices in a new
binderfs mount will follow the scheme binder%d and numbering will always
start at 0.

/* Backwards compatibility */
Devices requested in the Kconfig via CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES for the
initial ipc namespace will work as before. They will be registered via
misc_register() and appear in the devtmpfs mount. Specifically, the
standard devices binder, hwbinder, and vndbinder will all appear in their
standard locations in /dev. Mounting or unmounting the binderfs mount in
the initial ipc namespace will have no effect on these devices, i.e. they
will neither show up in the binderfs mount nor will they disappear when the
binderfs mount is gone.

/* binder-control */
Each new binderfs instance comes with a binder-control device. No other
devices will be present at first. The binder-control device can be used to
dynamically allocate binder devices. All requests operate on the binderfs
mount the binder-control device resides in:
- BINDER_CTL_ADD
Allocate a new binder device.
Assuming a new instance of binderfs has been mounted at /dev/binderfs via
mount -t binderfs binderfs /dev/binderfs. Then a request to create a new
binder device can be made via:

struct binderfs_device device = {0};
int fd = open("/dev/binderfs/binder-control", O_RDWR);
ioctl(fd, BINDER_CTL_ADD, &device);

The struct binderfs_device will be used to return the major and minor
number, as well as the index used as the new name for the device.
Binderfs devices can simply be removed via unlink().

/* Implementation details */
- When binderfs is registered as a new filesystem it will dynamically
allocate a new major number. The allocated major number will be returned
in struct binderfs_device when a new binder device is allocated.
Minor numbers that have been given out are tracked in a global idr struct
that is capped at BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR. The minor number tracker is
protected by a global mutex. This is the only point of contention between
binderfs mounts.
- The naming scheme for binder devices is binder%d. Each binderfs mount
starts numbering of new binder devices at 0 up to n. The indeces used in
constructing the name are tracked in a struct idr that is per-binderfs
super block.
- Each binderfs super block has its own struct binderfs_info that tracks
specific details about a binderfs instance: the ipc namespace, the idr
tracker for new names, the dentry of the binder-control device, the
root uid and gid of the user namespace the binderfs instance was mounted
in, and a mutex to protect the binder-control device and idr tracker from
concurrent access.
- binderfs can be mounted by user namespace root in a non-initial user
namespace. The devices will be owned by user namespace root.
- New binder devices associated with a binderfs mount do not use the
full misc_register() infrastructure. The misc_register() infrastructure
can only create new devices in the host's devtmpfs mount. binderfs does
however only make devices appear under its own mountpoint and thus
allocates new character devices nodes from the inode of the root dentry
of the super block. This will have the side-effect that binderfs specific
device nodes do not appear in sysfs. This behavior is similar to devpts
allocated pts devices and has no effect on the functionality of the ipc
mechanism itself.

/* Create a new binder device in a binderfs mount */
sudo mkdir /dev/binderfs
sudo mount -t binder binder /dev/binderfs

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <linux/android/binder_ctl.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int fd, ret, saved_errno;
struct binderfs_device device = { 0 };

fd = open("/dev/binderfs/binder-control", O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC);
if (fd < 0) {
printf("%s - Failed to open binder-control device\n",
strerror(errno));
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

ret = ioctl(fd, BINDER_CTL_ADD, &device);
saved_errno = errno;
close(fd);
errno = saved_errno;
if (ret < 0) {
printf("%s - Failed to allocate new binder device\n",
strerror(errno));
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

printf("Allocated new binder device with major %d, minor %d, and "
"name suffix %d\n", device.major, device.minor,
device.suffix);

exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

/* Demo */
