Linux419 filesystem proc have problem

Support Kernel
1

What I find

head -n 2 /proc/self/mountinfo
0 0 0:1 / 20 25 0:4 / /proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:5 - proc proc rw
21 25 0:20 / /sys rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:6 - sysfs sys rw

the first line of mountinfo is not formatted as proc(5) — Linux manual page documented.

And this cause docker pull get the error msg

How to reproduce

download manjaro from offical and then switch kernel to 4.19.141-2

Hi, is it a kernel still maintained or is it already EOL?

3

In Manjaro Settings Manager, it is marked as LTS & Recommended.

I can’t post image and url now because of my new account.

4

Could you describe what exactly is not formatted correctly? I see it now. I’m pretty sure this is a kernel bug. Have you reported it?

5

I don’t think it is a kernel bug.

ubuntu with kernel 4.19.141 doesn’t have this problem.

That file is directly generated by the kernel (in fs/proc_namespace.c:show_mountinfo()). There is only a single code path which can result in the output you get (as far as I see), but if the execution takes that path, that is a bug in my opinion (printing the path actually succeeds, but reports an error). Can you check if /proc/self/mounts and /proc/self/mountstats are affected?

I checkout the kernel v4.19.141 source from kernel official, but it seems right.

// fs/proc_namespace.c:show_mountinfo()
static int show_mountinfo(struct seq_file *m, struct vfsmount *mnt)
{
	struct proc_mounts *p = m->private;
	struct mount *r = real_mount(mnt);
	struct super_block *sb = mnt->mnt_sb;
	struct path mnt_path = { .dentry = mnt->mnt_root, .mnt = mnt };
	int err;

	seq_printf(m, "%i %i %u:%u ", r->mnt_id, r->mnt_parent->mnt_id,
		   MAJOR(sb->s_dev), MINOR(sb->s_dev));
	if (sb->s_op->show_path) {
		err = sb->s_op->show_path(m, mnt->mnt_root);
		if (err)
			goto out;
	} else {
		seq_dentry(m, mnt->mnt_root, " \t\n\\");
	}
	seq_putc(m, ' ');
// ...
}

You can see that those files are affected, too. There’s a “phantom mount”, it seems, that has mount id 0, mount parent id 0, and the device has major id 0, minor id 1. It seems to be of type “rootfs”. Interestingly, it appears to be both valid and invalid at the same time, since it’s only partially printed.

Is it present in runlevel 3? Is there anything about it in /etc/fstab or systemctl list-unit-files -t mount?

I think this can be related to this: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/duplicate-manjaro-entries-in-grub-menu-and-linux-kernel-v4/14834

Not any help, though

I’m wrestling with the exact same problem as well for a couple of days now. I also had similar symptoms as described in “Problems with PolKit after downgrading kernel” (Can’t insert links) though I’m not using PolKit, so it doesn’t seem to be related to that.
I also had the error of seemingly broken link of /etc/mtab. This seems to have been fixed with the recent manjaro update yesterday.
Docker however is still broken even though I used it just a couple of weeks ago. I guess I’m going to upgrade to Kernel 5.4 then.
