+.BR mount_setattr (), +necessitating the use of +.BR syscall (2). +.SH DESCRIPTION +The +.BR mount_setattr () +system call changes the mount properties of a mount or an entire mount tree. +If +.I pathname +is a relative pathname, +then it is interpreted relative to +the directory referred to by the file descriptor +.IR dirfd . +If +.I dirfd +is the special value +.BR AT_FDCWD , +then +.I pathname +is interpreted relative to +the current working directory of the calling process. +If +.I pathname +is the empty string and +.B AT_EMPTY_PATH +is specified in +.IR flags , +then the mount properties of the mount identified by +.I dirfd +are changed. +(See +.BR openat (2) +for an explanation of why the +.I dirfd +argument is useful.) +.PP +The +.BR mount_setattr () +system call uses an extensible structure +.RI ( "struct mount_attr" ) +to allow for future extensions. +Any non-flag extensions to +.BR mount_setattr () +will be implemented as new fields appended to the this structure, +with a zero value in a new field resulting in the kernel behaving +as though that extension field was not present. +Therefore, +the caller +.I must +zero-fill this structure on initialization. +See the "Extensibility" subsection under +.B NOTES +for more details. +.PP +The +.I size +argument should usually be specified as +.IR "sizeof(struct mount_attr)" . +However, if the caller is using a kernel that supports an extended +.IR "struct mount_attr" , +but the caller does not intend to make use of these features, +it is possible to pass the size of an earlier +version of the structure together with the extended structure. +This allows the kernel to not copy later parts of the structure +that aren't used anyway. +With each extension that changes the size of +.IR "struct mount_attr" , +the kernel will expose a definition of the form +.BI MOUNT_ATTR_SIZE_VER number\c +\&. +For example, the macro for the size of the initial version of +.I struct mount_attr +is +.BR MOUNT_ATTR_SIZE_VER0 . +.PP +The +.I flags +argument can be used to alter the pathname resolution behavior. +The supported values are: +.TP +.B AT_EMPTY_PATH +If +.I pathname +is the empty string, +change the mount properties on +.I dirfd +itself. +.TP +.B AT_RECURSIVE +Change the mount properties of the entire mount tree. +.TP +.B AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW +Don't follow trailing symbolic links. +.TP +.B AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT +Don't trigger automounts. +.PP +The +.I attr +argument of +.BR mount_setattr () +is a structure of the following form: +.PP +.in +4n +.EX +struct mount_attr { + __u64 attr_set; /* Mount properties to set */ + __u64 attr_clr; /* Mount properties to clear */ + __u64 propagation; /* Mount propagation type */ + __u64 userns_fd; /* User namespace file descriptor */ +}; +.EE +.in +.PP +The +.I attr_set +and +.I attr_clr +members are used to specify the mount properties that +are supposed to be set or cleared for a mount or mount tree. +Flags set in +.I attr_set +enable a property on a mount or mount tree, +and flags set in +.I attr_clr +remove a property from a mount or mount tree. +.PP +When changing mount properties, +the kernel will first clear the flags specified +in the +.I attr_clr +field, +and then set the flags specified in the +.I attr_set +field. +For example, these settings: +.PP +.in +4n +.EX +struct mount_attr attr = { + .attr_clr = MOUNT_ATTR_NOEXEC | MOUNT_ATTR_NODEV, + .attr_set = MOUNT_ATTR_RDONLY | MOUNT_ATTR_NOSUID, +}; +.EE +.in +.PP +are equivalent to the following steps: +.PP +.in +4n +.EX +unsigned int current_mnt_flags =

.attr_set, + * applying MOUNT_ATTR_RDONLY and MOUNT_ATTR_NOSUID. + */ +current_mnt_flags |= attr\->attr_set; +\& +mnt\->mnt_flags = current_mnt_flags; +.EE +.in +.PP +As a result of this change, the mount or mount tree (a) is read-only; +(b) blocks the execution of set-user-ID and set-group-ID programs; +(c) allows execution of programs; and (d) allows access to devices. +.PP +Multiple changes with the same set of flags requested +in +.I attr_clr +and +.I attr_set +are guaranteed to be idempotent after the changes have been applied. +.PP +The following mount attributes can be specified in the +.I attr_set +or +.I attr_clr +fields: +.TP +.B MOUNT_ATTR_RDONLY +If set in +.IR attr_set , +makes the mount read-only. +If set in +.IR attr_clr , +removes the read-only setting if set on the mount. +.TP +.B MOUNT_ATTR_NOSUID +If set in +.IR attr_set , +causes the mount not to honor the set-user-ID and set-group-ID mode bits and +file capabilities when executing programs. +If set in +.IR

+If set in +.IR attr_clr , +removes the restriction that prevented executing programs on this mount. +.TP +.B MOUNT_ATTR_NOSYMFOLLOW +If set in +.IR attr_set , +prevents following symbolic links on this mount. +If set in +.IR attr_clr , +removes the restriction that prevented following symbolic links on this mount. +.TP +.B MOUNT_ATTR_NODIRATIME +If set in +.IR attr_set , +prevents updating access time for directories on this mount. +If set in +.IR attr_clr , +removes the restriction that prevented updating access time for directories. +Note that +.B MOUNT_ATTR_NODIRATIME +can be combined with other access-time settings +and is implied by the noatime setting. +All other access-time settings are mutually exclusive. +.TP +.BR MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME " - changing access-time settings" +The access-time values listed below are an enumeration that +includes the value zero, expressed in the bits defined by the mask +.BR MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME . +Even though these bits are an enumeration +(in contrast to the other mount flags such as +.BR MOUNT_ATTR_NOEXEC ), +they are nonetheless passed in +.I attr_set +and +.I attr_clr +for consistency with +.BR fsmount (2), +which introduced this behavior. +.IP +Note that, +since the access-time values are an enumeration rather than bit values, +a caller wanting to transition to a different access-time setting +cannot simply specify the access-time setting in +.IR attr_set , +but must also include +.B MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME +in the +.I attr_clr +field. +The kernel will verify that +.B MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME +isn't partially set in +.I attr_clr +(i.e., either all bits in the +.B MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME +bit field are either set or clear), and that +.I attr_set +doesn't have any access-time bits set if +.B MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME +isn't set in +.IR attr_clr . +.RS +.TP +.B MOUNT_ATTR_RELATIME +When a file is accessed via this mount, +update the file's last access time (atime) +only if the current value of atime is less than or equal to +the

MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME +must be set in the +.I attr_clr +field. +.RE +.TP +.B MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP +If set in +.IR attr_set , +creates an ID-mapped mount. +The ID mapping is taken from the user namespace specified in +.I userns_fd +and attached to the mount. +.IP +Since it is not supported to +change the ID mapping of a mount after it has been ID mapped, +it is invalid to specify +.B MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP +in +.IR attr_clr . +.IP +For further details, see the subsection "ID-mapped mounts" under NOTES. +.PP +The +.I propagation +field is used to specify the propagation type of the mount or mount tree.

detached mount; +that is, +it must have been created by calling +.BR open_tree (2) +with the +.B OPEN_TREE_CLONE +flag and it must not already have been visible in a mount namespace. +(To put things another way: +the mount must not have been attached to the filesystem hierarchy +with a system call such as +.BR move_mount (2).) +.PP +ID mappings can be created for user IDs, group IDs, and project IDs. +An ID mapping is essentially a mapping of a range of user or group IDs into +another or the same range of user or group IDs. +ID mappings are written to map files as three numbers +separated by white space. +The first two numbers specify the starting user or group ID +in each of the two user namespaces. +The third number specifies the range of the ID mapping. +For example, +a mapping for user IDs such as "1000\ 1001\ 1" would indicate that +user ID 1000 in the caller's user namespace is mapped to +user ID 1001 in its ancestor user namespace. +Since the map range is 1, +only user ID 1000 is mapped. +.PP +It is possible to specify up to 340 ID mappings for each ID mapping type. +If any user IDs or group IDs are not mapped, +all files owned by that unmapped user or group ID will appear as +being owned by the overflow user ID or overflow group ID respectively. +.PP +Further details on setting up ID mappings can be found in +.BR user_namespaces (7). +.PP +In the common case, the user namespace passed in +.I userns_fd +(together with +.B MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP +in +.IR attr_set ) +to create an ID-mapped mount will be the user namespace of a container. +In other scenarios it will be a dedicated user namespace associated with +a user's login session as is the case for portable home directories in +.BR systemd-homed.service (8)). +It is also perfectly fine to create a dedicated user namespace +for the sake of ID mapping a mount. +.PP +ID-mapped mounts can be useful in the following +and a variety of other scenarios: +.IP \[bu] 3 +Sharing files or filesystems +between multiple users or multiple machines, +especially in complex scenarios. +For example, +ID-mapped mounts are used to implement portable home directories in +.BR systemd-homed.service (8), +where they allow users to move their home directory +to an external storage device +and use it on multiple computers +where they are assigned different user IDs and group IDs. +This effectively makes it possible to +assign random user IDs and group IDs at login time. +.IP \[bu] +Sharing files or filesystems +from the host with unprivileged containers. +This allows a user to avoid having to change ownership permanently through +.BR chown (2). +.IP \[bu] +ID mapping a container's root filesystem. +Users don't need to change ownership permanently through +.BR chown (2). +Especially for large root filesystems, using +.BR chown (2) +can be prohibitively expensive. +.IP \[bu] +Sharing files or filesystems +between containers with non-overlapping ID mappings. +.IP \[bu] +Implementing discretionary access (DAC) permission checking +for filesystems lacking a concept of ownership. +.IP \[bu] +Efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount basis. +In contrast to +.BR chown (2), +changing ownership of large sets of files is instantaneous with +ID-mapped mounts. +This is especially useful when ownership of +an entire root filesystem of a virtual machine or container +is to be changed as mentioned above. +With ID-mapped mounts, +a single +.BR mount_setattr () +system call will be sufficient to change the ownership of all files. +.IP \[bu] +Taking the current ownership into account. +ID mappings specify precisely +what a user or group ID is supposed to be mapped to. +This contrasts with the +.BR chown (2) +system call which cannot by itself +take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. +It simply changes the ownership to the specified user ID and group ID. +.IP \[bu] +Locally and temporarily restricted ownership changes. +ID-mapped mounts make it possible to change ownership locally, +restricting the ownership changes to specific mounts, +and temporarily as the ownership changes only apply as long as the mount exists. +By contrast, +changing ownership via the +.BR chown (2) +system call changes the ownership globally and permanently. +.\" +.SS Extensibility +In order to allow for future extensibility, +.BR mount_setattr () +requires the user-space application to specify the size of the +.I mount_attr +structure that it is passing. +By providing this information, it is possible for +.BR mount_setattr () +to provide both forwards- and backwards-compatibility, with +.I size +acting as an implicit version number. +(Because new extension fields will always +be appended, the structure size will always increase.) +This extensibility design is very similar to other system calls such as +.BR perf_setattr (2), +.BR perf_event_open (2), +.BR clone3 (2) +and +.BR openat2 (2). +.PP +Let +.I usize +be the size of the structure as specified by the user-space application, +and let +.I ksize +be the size of the structure which the kernel supports, +then there are three cases to consider: +.IP \[bu] 3 +If +.I ksize +equals +.IR usize , +then there is no version mismatch and +.I attr +can be used verbatim. +.IP \[bu] +If +.I ksize +is larger than +.IR usize , +then there are some extension fields that the kernel supports +which the user-space application is unaware of. +Because a zero value in any added extension field signifies a no-op, +the kernel treats all of the extension fields +not provided by the user-space application +as having zero values. +This provides backwards-compatibility. +.IP \[bu] +If +.I ksize +is smaller than +.IR usize , +then there are some extension fields which the user-space application is aware +of but which the kernel does not support. +Because any extension field must have its zero values signify a no-op, +the kernel can safely ignore the unsupported extension fields +if they are all zero. +If any unsupported extension fields are non-zero, +then \-1 is returned and +.I errno +is set to +.BR E2BIG . +This provides forwards-compatibility. +.PP +Because the definition of +.I struct mount_attr +may change in the future +(with new fields being added when system headers are updated), +user-space applications should zero-fill +.I struct mount_attr +to ensure that recompiling the program with new headers will not result in +spurious errors at run time. +The simplest way is to use a designated initializer: +.PP +.in +4n +.EX +struct mount_attr attr = { + .attr_set = MOUNT_ATTR_RDONLY, + .attr_clr = MOUNT_ATTR_NODEV +}; +.EE +.in +.PP +Alternatively, the structure can be zero-filled using +.BR memset (3) +or similar functions: +.PP +.in +4n +.EX +struct mount_attr attr; +memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(attr)); +attr.attr_set = MOUNT_ATTR_RDONLY; +attr.attr_clr = MOUNT_ATTR_NODEV; +.EE +.in +.PP +A user-space application that wishes to determine which extensions the running +kernel supports can do so by conducting a binary search on +.I size +with a structure which has every byte nonzero +(to find the largest value which doesn't produce an error of
