9p: use stub posix acl handlers

2022-10-20T08:13:32+00:00

Now that 9p supports the get and set acl inode operations and the vfs has been switched to the new posi api, 9p can simply rely on the stub posix acl handlers. The custom xattr handlers and associated unused helpers can be removed. Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner (Microsoft)

9p: implement set acl method

2022-10-20T08:13:28+00:00

The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1]. In order to build a type safe posix api around get and set acl we need all filesystem to implement get and set acl. So far 9p implemented a ->get_inode_acl() operation that didn't require access to the dentry in order to allow (limited) permission checking via posix acls in the vfs. Now that we have get and set acl inode operations that take a dentry argument we can give 9p get and set acl inode operations. This is mostly a light refactoring of the codepaths currently used in 9p posix acl xattr handler. After we have fully implemented the posix acl api and switched the vfs over to it, the 9p specific posix acl xattr handler and associated code will be removed. Note, until the vfs has been switched to the new posix acl api this patch is a non-functional change.

9p: fix a bunch of checkpatch warnings

2021-11-04T12:04:25+00:00

Sohaib Mohamed started a serie of tiny and incomplete checkpatch fixes but seemingly stopped halfway -- take over and do most of it. This is still missing net/9p/trans* and net/9p/protocol.c for a later time...

fs: make helpers idmap mount aware

2021-01-24T13:27:20+00:00

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all relevant helpers in earlier patches. As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

acl: handle idmapped mounts

2021-01-24T13:27:17+00:00

The posix acl permission checking helpers determine whether a caller is privileged over an inode according to the acls associated with the inode. Add helpers that make it possible to handle acls on idmapped mounts. The vfs and the filesystems targeted by this first iteration make use of posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user() and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() to translate basic posix access and default permissions such as the ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP type according to the initial user namespace (or the superblock's user namespace) to and from the caller's current user namespace. Adapt these two helpers to handle idmapped mounts whereby we either map from or into the mount's user namespace depending on in which direction we're translating. Similarly, cap_convert_nscap() is used by the vfs to translate user namespace and non-user namespace aware filesystem capabilities from the superblock's user namespace to the caller's user namespace. Enable it to handle idmapped mounts by accounting for the mount's user namespace. In addition the fileystems targeted in the first iteration of this patch series make use of the posix_acl_chmod() and, posix_acl_update_mode() helpers. Both helpers perform permission checks on the target inode. Let them handle idmapped mounts. These two helpers are called when posix acls are set by the respective filesystems to handle this case we extend the ->set() method to take an additional user namespace argument to pass the mount's user namespace down.

inode: make init and permission helpers idmapped mount aware

2021-01-24T13:27:16+00:00

The inode_owner_or_capable() helper determines whether the caller is the owner of the inode or is capable with respect to that inode. Allow it to handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount it according to the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before. Similarly, allow the inode_init_owner() helper to handle idmapped mounts. It initializes a new inode on idmapped mounts by mapping the fsuid and fsgid of the caller from the mount's user namespace. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.

9p: acl: fix uninitialized iattr access

2018-09-07T16:51:50+00:00

iattr is passed to v9fs_vfs_setattr_dotl which does send various values from iattr over the wire, even if it tells the server to only look at iattr.ia_valid fields this could leak some stack data.
