Subject: Re: switch_root...

|
|

If you're _not_ running out of init_ramfs (if for example you're using initrd
|
|
instead), you probably shouldn't use switch_root because it's the wrong tool.
|
|
|
|
Basically what the sucker does is something like the following shell script:
|
|
|
|
find / -xdev | xargs rm -rf
|
|
cd "$1"
|
|
shift
|
|
mount --move . /
|
|
exec chroot . "$@"
|
|
|
|
There are a couple reasons that won't work as a shell script:
|
|
|
|
1) If you delete the commands out of your $PATH, your shell scripts can't run
|
|
more commands, but you can't start using dynamically linked _new_ commands
|
|
until after you do the chroot because the path to the dynamic linker is wrong.
|
|
So there's a step that needs to be sort of atomic but can't be as a shell
|
|
script. (You can work around this with static linking or very carefully laid
|
|
out paths and sequencing, but it's brittle, ugly, and non-obvious.)
|
|
|
|
2) The "find | rm" bit will actually delete everything because the mount points
|
|
still show up (even if their contents don't), and rm -rf will then happily zap
|
|
that. So the first line is an oversimplification of what you need to do _not_
|
|
to descend into other filesystems and delete their contents.
|
|
|
|
The reason we do this is to free up memory, by the way. Since initramfs is a
|
|
ramfs, deleting its contents frees up the memory it uses. (We leave it with
|
|
one remaining dentry for the new mount point, but that's ok.)
|
|
|
|
Note that you cannot ever umount rootfs, for approximately the same reason you
|
|
can't kill PID 1. The kernel tracks mount points as a doubly linked list, and
|
|
the pointer to the start/end of that list always points to an entry that's
|
|
known to be there (rootfs), so it never has to worry about moving that pointer
|
|
and it never has to worry about the list being empty. (Back around 2.6.13
|
|
there _was_ a bug that let you umount rootfs, and the system locked hard the
|
|
instant you did so endlessly looping to find the end of the mount list and
|
|
never stopping. They fixed it.)
|
|
|
|
Oh, and the reason we mount --move _and_ do the chroot is due to the way "/"
|
|
works. Each process has two special symlinks, ".", and "/". Each of them
|
|
points to the dentry of a directory, and give you a location paths can start
|
|
from. (Historically ".." was also special, because you could enter a
|
|
directory via a symlink so backing out to the directory you came from doesn't
|
|
necessarily mean the one physically above where "." points to. These days I
|
|
think it's just handed off to the filesystem.)
|
|
|
|
Anyway, path resolution starts with "." or "/" (although the "./" at the start
|
|
of the path may be implicit), meaning it's relative to one of those two
|
|
directories. Your current directory, and your current root directory. The
|
|
chdir() syscall changes where "." points to, and the chroot() syscall changes
|
|
where "/" points to. (Again, both are per-process which is why chroot only
|
|
affects your current process and its child processes.)
|
|
|
|
Note that chroot() does _not_ change where "." points to, and back before they
|
|
put crazy security checks into the kernel your current directory could be
|
|
somewhere you could no longer access after the chroot. (The command line
|
|
chroot does a cd as well, the chroot _syscall_ is what I'm talking about.)
|
|
|
|
The reason mounting something new over / has no obvious effect is the same
|
|
reason mounting something over your current directory has no obvious effect:
|
|
the . and / links aren't recalculated after a mount, so they still point to
|
|
the same dentry they did before, even if that dentry is no longer accessible
|
|
by other means. Note that "cd ." is a NOP, and "chroot /" is a nop; both look
|
|
up the cached dentry and set it right back. They don't re-parse any paths,
|
|
because they're what all paths your process uses would be relative to.
|
|
|
|
That's why the careful sequencing above: we cd into the new mount point before
|
|
we do the mount --move. Moving the mount point would otherwise make it
|
|
totally inaccessible to us because cd-ing to the old path wouldn't give it to
|
|
us anymore, and cd "/" just gives us the cached dentry from when the process
|
|
was created (in this case the old initramfs one). But the "." symlink gives
|
|
us the dentry of the filesystem we just moved, so we can then "chroot ." to
|
|
copy that dentry to "/" and get the new filesystem. If we _didn't_ save that
|
|
dentry in "." we couldn't get it back after the mount --move.
|
|
|
|
(Yes, this is all screwy and I had to email questions to Linus Torvalds to get
|
|
it straight myself. I keep meaning to write up a "how mount actually works"
|
|
document someday...)
