[for-linus][PATCH 2/2] tracefs: Only clobber mode/uid/gid on remount if asked

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Sep 08 2022 - 17:12:52 EST


From: Brian Norris <briannorris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Users may have explicitly configured their tracefs permissions; we
shouldn't overwrite those just because a second mount appeared.

Only clobber if the options were provided at mount time.

Note: the previous behavior was especially surprising in the presence of
automounted /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/.

Existing behavior:

## Pre-existing status: tracefs is 0755.
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/
drwxr-xr-x

## (Re)trigger the automount.
# umount /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/.
drwx------

## Unexpected: the automount changed mode for other mount instances.
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/
drwx------

New behavior (after this change):

## Pre-existing status: tracefs is 0755.
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/
drwxr-xr-x

## (Re)trigger the automount.
# umount /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/.
drwxr-xr-x

## Expected: the automount does not change other mount instances.
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/
drwxr-xr-x
