tracefs: Still use mount point as default permissions for instances
If the instances directory's permissions were never change, then have it and its children use the mount point permissions as the default. Currently, the permissions of instance directories are determined by the instance directory's permissions itself. But if the tracefs file system is remounted and changes the permissions, the instance directory and its children should use the new permission. But because both the instance directory and its children use the instance directory's inode for permissions, it misses the update. To demonstrate this: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ # mkdir instances/foo # ls -ld instances/foo drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:07 instances/foo # ls -ld instances drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 18:57 instances # ls -ld current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 18:57 current_tracer # mount -o remount,gid=1002 . # ls -ld instances drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 18:57 instances # ls -ld instances/foo/ drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:07 instances/foo/ # ls -ld current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:57 current_tracer Notice that changing the group id to that of "lkp" did not affect the instances directory nor its children. It should have been: # ls -ld current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 19:19 current_tracer # ls -ld instances/foo/ drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:25 instances/foo/ # ls -ld instances drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 19:19 instances # mount -o remount,gid=1002 . # ls -ld current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 19:19 current_tracer # ls -ld instances drwxr-x--- 3 root lkp 0 May 1 19:19 instances # ls -ld instances/foo/ drwxr-x--- 5 root lkp 0 May 1 19:25 instances/foo/ Where all files were updated by the remount gid update.
