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...)
