* VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry)David Howells2015-02-221-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the following where appropriate: (1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry). (2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry). (3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with a ->d_automount op. In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer). Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the type of the lower dentry. However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem. There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes. The following perl+coccinelle script was used: use strict; my @callers; open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*->d_inode\' |') || die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers"; @callers = <$fd>; close($fd); unless (@callers) { print "No matches\n"; exit(0); } my @cocci = ( '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISLNK(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_symlink(E)', '', '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISDIR(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_dir(E)', '', '@@', 'expression E;', '@@', '', '- S_ISREG(E->d_inode->i_mode)', '+ d_is_reg(E)' ); my $coccifile = "tmp.sp.cocci"; open($fd, ">$coccifile") || die $coccifile; print($fd "$_\n") || die $coccifile foreach (@cocci); close($fd); foreach my $file (@callers) { chomp $file; print "Processing ", $file, "\n"; system("spatch", "--sp-file", $coccifile, $file, "--in-place", "--no-show-diff") == 0 || die "spatch failed"; } [AV: overlayfs parts skipped] Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* mnt: Fix a memory stomp in umountEric W. Biederman2014-12-181-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While reviewing the code of umount_tree I realized that when we append to a preexisting unmounted list we do not change pprev of the former first item in the list. Which means later in namespace_unlock hlist_del_init(&mnt->mnt_hash) on the former first item of the list will stomp unmounted.first leaving it set to some random mount point which we are likely to free soon. This isn't likely to hit, but if it does I don't know how anyone could track it down. [ This happened because we don't have all the same operations for hlist's as we do for normal doubly-linked lists. In particular, list_splice() is easy on our standard doubly-linked lists, while hlist_splice() doesn't exist and needs both start/end entries of the hlist. And commit 38129a13e6e7 incorrectly open-coded that missing hlist_splice(). We should think about making these kinds of "mindless" conversions easier to get right by adding the missing hlist helpers - Linus ] Fixes: 38129a13e6e71f666e0468e99fdd932a687b4d7e switch mnt_hash to hlist Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

The first change (implicitly adding MNT_NODEV on remount) addresses a regression that was created when security issues with unprivileged remount were closed. I go on to update the remount test to make it easy to detect if this issue reoccurs. Then there are a handful of mount and umount related fixes. Then half of the changes deal with the a recently discovered design bug in the permission checks of gid_map. Unix since the beginning has allowed setting group permissions on files to less than the user and other permissions (aka ---rwx---rwx). As the unix permission checks stop as soon as a group matches, and setgroups allows setting groups that can not later be dropped, results in a situtation where it is possible to legitimately use a group to assign fewer privileges to a process. Which means dropping a group can increase a processes privileges. The fix I have adopted is that gid_map is now no longer writable without privilege unless the new file /proc/self/setgroups has been set to permanently disable setgroups. The bulk of user namespace using applications even the applications using applications using user namespaces without privilege remain unaffected by this change. Unfortunately this ix breaks a couple user space applications, that were relying on the problematic behavior (one of which was tools/selftests/mount/unprivileged-remount-test.c). To hopefully prevent needing a regression fix on top of my security fix I rounded folks who work with the container implementations mostly like to be affected and encouraged them to test the changes. > So far nothing broke on my libvirt-lxc test bed. :-) > Tested with openSUSE 13.2 and libvirt 1.2.9. > Tested-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> > Tested on Fedora20 with libvirt 1.2.11, works fine. > Tested-by: Chen Hanxiao <chenhanxiao@cn.fujitsu.com> > Ok, thanks - yes, unprivileged lxc is working fine with your kernels. > Just to be sure I was testing the right thing I also tested using > my unprivileged nsexec testcases, and they failed on setgroup/setgid > as now expected, and succeeded there without your patches. > Tested-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@ubuntu.com> > I tested this with Sandstorm.

In copy_mnt_ns it is necessary to create an exact copy of a mount tree, so not clearing MNT_LOCKED is important. Similarly collect_mounts is used to take a snapshot of the mount tree for audit logging purposes and auditing using a faithful copy of the tree is important. This becomes particularly significant when we start setting MNT_LOCKED on rootfs to prevent it from being unmounted. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New pseudo-filesystem: nsfs. Targets of /proc/*/ns/* live there now. It's not mountable (not even registered, so it's not in /proc/filesystems, etc.). Files on it *are* bindable - we explicitly permit that in do_loopback(). This stuff lives in fs/nsfs.c now; proc_ns_fget() moved there as well. get_proc_ns() is a macro now (it's simply returning ->i_private; would have been an inline, if not for header ordering headache). proc_ns_inode() is an ex-parrot. The interface used in procfs is ns_get_path(path, task, ops) and ns_get_name(buf, size, task, ops). Dentries and inodes are never hashed; a non-counting reference to dentry is stashed in ns_common (removed by ->d_prune()) and reused by ns_get_path() if present. See ns_get_path()/ns_prune_dentry/nsfs_evict() for details of that mechanism. As the result, proc_ns_follow_link() has stopped poking in nd->path.mnt; it does nd_jump_link() on a consistent <vfsmount,dentry> pair it gets from ns_get_path().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andy Lutomirski recently demonstrated that when chroot is used to set the root path below the path for the new ``root'' passed to pivot_root the pivot_root system call succeeds and leaks mounts. In examining the code I see that starting with a new root that is below the current root in the mount tree will result in a loop in the mount tree after the mounts are detached and then reattached to one another. Resulting in all kinds of ugliness including a leak of that mounts involved in the leak of the mount loop. Prevent this problem by ensuring that the new mount is reachable from the current root of the mount tree. [Added stable cc.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new function detach_mounts comes in two pieces. The first piece is a static inline test of d_mounpoint that returns immediately without taking any locks if d_mounpoint is not set. In the common case when mountpoints are absent this allows the vfs to continue running with it's same cacheline foot print. The second piece of detach_mounts __detach_mounts actually does the work and it assumes that a mountpoint is present so it is slow and takes namespace_sem for write, and then locks the mount hash (aka mount_lock) after a struct mountpoint has been found. With those two locks held each entry on the list of mounts on a mountpoint is selected and lazily unmounted until all of the mount have been lazily unmounted. v7: Wrote a proper change description and removed the changelog documenting deleted wrong turns.

The primary motivation here are old versions of fusermount unmount which is not safe if the a path can be renamed or unlinked while it is verifying the mount is safe to unmount. More recent versions are simpler and safer by simply using UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW when unmounting a mount in a directory owned by an arbitrary user. Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> reports this is approach is good enough to remove concerns about new kernels mixed with old versions of fusermount. A secondary motivation for restrictions here is that it removing empty directories that have non-empty mount points on them appears to violate the rule that rmdir can not remove empty directories. As Linus Torvalds pointed out this is useful for programs (like git) that test if a directory is empty with rmdir. Therefore this patch arranges to enforce the existing mount point semantics for local mount namespace. v2: Rewrote the test to be a drop in replacement for d_mountpoint v3: Use bool instead of int as the return type of is_local_mountpoint Reviewed-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On final mntput() we want fs shutdown to happen before return to userland; however, the only case where we want it happen right there (i.e. where task_work_add won't do) is MNT_INTERNAL victim. Those have to be fully synchronous - failure halfway through module init might count on having vfsmount killed right there. Fortunately, final mntput on MNT_INTERNAL vfsmounts happens on shallow stack. So we handle those synchronously and do an analog of delayed fput logics for everything else. As the result, we are guaranteed that fs shutdown will always happen on shallow stack. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need the parents of victims alive until namespace_unlock() gets to dput() of the (ex-)mountpoints. However, that screws up the "is it busy" checks in case when we have shrinkable mounts that need to be killed. Solution: go ahead and decrement refcounts of parents right in umount_tree(), increment them again just before dropping rwsem in namespace_unlock() (and let the loop in the end of namespace_unlock() finally drop those references for good, as we do now). Parents can't get freed until we drop rwsem - at least one reference is kept until then, both in case when parent is among the victims and when it is not. So they'll still be around when we get to namespace_unlock(). Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.12+ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 3.14 we had copy_tree() get the shadowing wrong - if we had one vfsmount shadowing another (i.e. if A is a slave of B, C is mounted on A/foo, then D got mounted on B/foo creating D' on A/foo shadowed by C), copy_tree() of A would make a copy of D' shadow the the copy of C, not the other way around. It's easy to fix, fortunately - just make sure that mount follows the one that shadows it in mnt_child as well as in mnt_hash, and when copy_tree() decides to attach a new mount, check if the last child it has added to the same parent should be shadowing the new one. And if it should, just use the same logics commit_tree() has - put the new mount into the hash and children lists right after the one that should shadow it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than playing silly buggers with vfsmount refcounts, just have acct_on() ask fs/namespace.c for internal clone of file->f_path.mnt and replace it with said clone. Then attach the pin to original vfsmount. Voila - the clone will be alive until the file gets closed, making sure that underlying superblock remains active, etc., and we can drop the original vfsmount, so that it's not kept busy. If the file lives until the final mntput of the original vfsmount, we'll notice that there's an fs_pin (one in bsd_acct_struct that holds that file) and mnt_pin_kill() will take it out. Since ->kill() is synchronous, we won't proceed past that point until these files are closed (and private clones of our vfsmount are gone), so we get the same ordering warranties we used to get. mnt_pin()/mnt_unpin()/->mnt_pinned is gone now, and good riddance - it never became usable outside of kernel/acct.c (and racy wrt umount even there).

The most significant change for users is the first patch which makes setns drmatically faster by removing unneded rcu handling. The next chunk of changes are so that "mount -o remount,.." will not allow the user namespace root to drop flags on a mount set by the system wide root. Aks this forces read-only mounts to stay read-only, no-dev mounts to stay no-dev, no-suid mounts to stay no-suid, no-exec mounts to stay no exec and it prevents unprivileged users from messing with a mounts atime settings. I have included my test case as the last patch in this series so people performing backports can verify this change works correctly. The next change fixes a bug in NFS that was discovered while auditing nsproxy users for the first optimization. Today you can oops the kernel by reading /proc/fs/nfsfs/{servers,volumes} if you are clever with pid namespaces. I rebased and fixed the build of the !CONFIG_NFS_FS case yesterday when a build bot caught my typo. Given that no one to my knowledge bases anything on my tree fixing the typo in place seems more responsible that requiring a typo-fix to be backported as well. The last change is a small semantic cleanup introducing /proc/thread-self and pointing /proc/mounts and /proc/net at it. This prevents several kinds of problemantic corner cases. It is a user-visible change so it has a minute chance of causing regressions so the change to /proc/mounts and /proc/net are individual one line commits that can be trivially reverted. Unfortunately I lost and could not find the email of the original reporter so he is not credited.

| * | mnt: Change the default remount atime from relatime to the existing valueEric W. Biederman2014-07-311-0/+8

Defaulting to relatime instead of the existing atime state during a remount is silly, and causes problems in practice for people who don't specify any MS_...ATIME flags and to get the default filesystem atime setting. Those users may encounter a permission error because the default atime setting does not work. A default that does not work and causes permission problems is ridiculous, so preserve the existing value to have a default atime setting that is always guaranteed to work. Using the default atime setting in this way is particularly interesting for applications built to run in restricted userspace environments without /proc mounted, as the existing atime mount options of a filesystem can not be read from /proc/mounts. In practice this fixes user space that uses the default atime setting on remount that are broken by the permission checks keeping less privileged users from changing more privileged users atime settings.

In particular MNT_NOSUID, MNT_NODEV, MNT_NOEXEC, and the atime flags in addition to MNT_READONLY should all be locked. These flags are all per superblock, can all be changed with MS_BIND, and should not be changable if set by a more privileged user. The following additions to the current logic are added in this patch. - nosuid may not be clearable by a less privileged user. - nodev may not be clearable by a less privielged user. - noexec may not be clearable by a less privileged user. - atime flags may not be changeable by a less privileged user. The logic with atime is that always setting atime on access is a global policy and backup software and auditing software could break if atime bits are not updated (when they are configured to be updated), and serious performance degradation could result (DOS attack) if atime updates happen when they have been explicitly disabled. Therefore an unprivileged user should not be able to mess with the atime bits set by a more privileged user. The additional restrictions are implemented with the addition of MNT_LOCK_NOSUID, MNT_LOCK_NODEV, MNT_LOCK_NOEXEC, and MNT_LOCK_ATIME mnt flags. Taken together these changes and the fixes for MNT_LOCK_READONLY should make it safe for an unprivileged user to create a user namespace and to call "mount --bind -o remount,... ..." without the danger of mount flags being changed maliciously.

| * | namespaces: Use task_lock and not rcu to protect nsproxyEric W. Biederman2014-07-291-3/+3
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The synchronous syncrhonize_rcu in switch_task_namespaces makes setns a sufficiently expensive system call that people have complained. Upon inspect nsproxy no longer needs rcu protection for remote reads. remote reads are rare. So optimize for same process reads and write by switching using rask_lock instead. This yields a simpler to understand lock, and a faster setns system call. In particular this fixes a performance regression observed by Rafael David Tinoco <rafael.tinoco@canonical.com>. This is effectively a revert of Pavel Emelyanov's commit cf7b708c8d1d7a27736771bcf4c457b332b0f818 Make access to task's nsproxy lighter from 2007.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current mainline has copies propagated to *all* nodes, then tears down the copies we made for nodes that do not contain counterparts of the desired mountpoint. That sets the right propagation graph for the copies (at teardown time we move the slaves of removed node to a surviving peer or directly to master), but we end up paying a fairly steep price in useless allocations. It's fairly easy to create a situation where N calls of mount(2) create exactly N bindings, with O(N^2) vfsmounts allocated and freed in process. Fortunately, it is possible to avoid those allocations/freeings. The trick is to create copies in the right order and find which one would've eventually become a master with the current algorithm. It turns out to be possible in O(nodes getting propagation) time and with no extra allocations at all. One part is that we need to make sure that eventual master will be created before its slaves, so we need to walk the propagation tree in a different order - by peer groups. And iterate through the peers before dealing with the next group. Another thing is finding the (earlier) copy that will be a master of one we are about to create; to do that we are (temporary) marking the masters of mountpoints we are attaching the copies to. Either we are in a peer of the last mountpoint we'd dealt with, or we have the following situation: we are attaching to mountpoint M, the last copy S_0 had been attached to M_0 and there are sequences S_0...S_n, M_0...M_n such that S_{i+1} is a master of S_{i}, S_{i} mounted on M{i} and we need to create a slave of the first S_{k} such that M is getting propagation from M_{k}. It means that the master of M_{k} will be among the sequence of masters of M. On the other hand, the nearest marked node in that sequence will either be the master of M_{k} or the master of M_{k-1} (the latter - in the case if M_{k-1} is a slave of something M gets propagation from, but in a wrong peer group). So we go through the sequence of masters of M until we find a marked one (P). Let N be the one before it. Then we go through the sequence of masters of S_0 until we find one (say, S) mounted on a node D that has P as master and check if D is a peer of N. If it is, S will be the master of new copy, if not - the master of S will be. That's it for the hard part; the rest is fairly simple. Iterator is in next_group(), handling of one prospective mountpoint is propagate_one(). It seems to survive all tests and gives a noticably better performance than the current mainline for setups that are seriously using shared subtrees.

* switch mnt_hash to hlistAl Viro2014-03-301-36/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes RCU bug - walking through hlist is safe in face of element moves, since it's self-terminating. Cyclic lists are not - if we end up jumping to another hash chain, we'll loop infinitely without ever hitting the original list head.
