From 7c0950d455d6ab610d2990a13120f935b75abf2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zhijian Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2018 14:10:09 -0800 Subject: initramfs: clean old path before creating a hardlink sys_link() can fail due to the new path already existing. This case ofen occurs when we use a concated initrd, for example: 1) prepare a basic rootfs, it contains a regular files rc.local lizhijian@:~/yocto-tiny-i386-2016-04-22$ cat etc/rc.local #!/bin/sh echo "Running /etc/rc.local..." yocto-tiny-i386-2016-04-22$ find . | sed 's,^\./,,' | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -n -9 >../rootfs.cgz 2) create a extra initrd which also includes a etc/rc.local lizhijian@:~/lkp-x86_64/etc$ echo "append initrd" >rc.local lizhijian@:~/lkp/lkp-x86_64/etc$ cat rc.local append initrd lizhijian@:~/lkp/lkp-x86_64/etc$ ln rc.local rc.local.hardlink append initrd lizhijian@:~/lkp/lkp-x86_64/etc$ stat rc.local rc.local.hardlink File: 'rc.local' Size: 14 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 801h/2049d Inode: 11296086 Links: 2 Access: (0664/-rw-rw-r--) Uid: ( 1002/lizhijian) Gid: ( 1002/lizhijian) Access: 2018-11-15 16:08:28.654464815 +0800 Modify: 2018-11-15 16:07:57.514903210 +0800 Change: 2018-11-15 16:08:24.180228872 +0800 Birth: - File: 'rc.local.hardlink' Size: 14 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 801h/2049d Inode: 11296086 Links: 2 Access: (0664/-rw-rw-r--) Uid: ( 1002/lizhijian) Gid: ( 1002/lizhijian) Access: 2018-11-15 16:08:28.654464815 +0800 Modify: 2018-11-15 16:07:57.514903210 +0800 Change: 2018-11-15 16:08:24.180228872 +0800 Birth: - lizhijian@:~/lkp/lkp-x86_64$ find . | sed 's,^\./,,' | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -n -9 >../rc-local.cgz lizhijian@:~/lkp/lkp-x86_64$ gzip -dc ../rc-local.cgz | cpio -t . etc etc/rc.local.hardlink <<< it will be extracted first at this initrd etc/rc.local 3) concate 2 initrds and boot lizhijian@:~/lkp$ cat rootfs.cgz rc-local.cgz >concate-initrd.cgz lizhijian@:~/lkp$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 1 -m 1024 -kernel ~/lkp/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -append "console=ttyS0 earlyprint=ttyS0 ignore_loglevel" -initrd ./concate-initr.cgz -serial stdio -nodefaults In this case, sys_link(2) will fail and return -EEXIST, so we can only get the rc.local at rootfs.cgz instead of rc-local.cgz [akpm@linux-foundation.org: move code to avoid forward declaration] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1542352368-13299-1-git-send-email-lizhijian@cn.fujitsu.com Signed-off-by: Li Zhijian Cc: Philip Li Cc: Dominik Brodowski Cc: Li Zhijian Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- init/initramfs.c | 22 ++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/init/initramfs.c b/init/initramfs.c index 640557788026..f6f4a1e4cd54 100644 --- a/init/initramfs.c +++ b/init/initramfs.c @@ -291,16 +291,6 @@ static int __init do_reset(void) return 1; } -static int __init maybe_link(void) -{ - if (nlink >= 2) { - char *old = find_link(major, minor, ino, mode, collected); - if (old) - return (ksys_link(old, collected) < 0) ? -1 : 1; - } - return 0; -} - static void __init clean_path(char *path, umode_t fmode) { struct kstat st; @@ -313,6 +303,18 @@ static void __init clean_path(char *path, umode_t fmode) } } +static int __init maybe_link(void) +{ + if (nlink >= 2) { + char *old = find_link(major, minor, ino, mode, collected); + if (old) { + clean_path(collected, 0); + return (ksys_link(old, collected) < 0) ? -1 : 1; + } + } + return 0; +} + static __initdata int wfd; static int __init do_name(void) -- cgit v1.2.1
