attr: block mode changes of symlinks

2023-07-14T07:48:58+00:00

Changing the mode of symlinks is meaningless as the vfs doesn't take the mode of a symlink into account during path lookup permission checking. However, the vfs doesn't block mode changes on symlinks. This however, has lead to an untenable mess roughly classifiable into the following two categories: (1) Filesystems that don't implement a i_op->setattr() for symlinks. Such filesystems may or may not know that without i_op->setattr() defined, notify_change() falls back to simple_setattr() causing the inode's mode in the inode cache to be changed. That's a generic issue as this will affect all non-size changing inode attributes including ownership changes. Example: afs (2) Filesystems that fail with EOPNOTSUPP but change the mode of the symlink nonetheless. Some filesystems will happily update the mode of a symlink but still return EOPNOTSUPP. This is the biggest source of confusion for userspace. The EOPNOTSUPP in this case comes from POSIX ACLs. Specifically it comes from filesystems that call posix_acl_chmod(), e.g., btrfs via if (!err && attr->ia_valid & ATTR_MODE) err = posix_acl_chmod(idmap, dentry, inode->i_mode); Filesystems including btrfs don't implement i_op->set_acl() so posix_acl_chmod() will report EOPNOTSUPP. When posix_acl_chmod() is called, most filesystems will have finished updating the inode. Perversely, this has the consequences that this behavior may depend on two kconfig options and mount options: * CONFIG_POSIX_ACL={y,n} * CONFIG_${FSTYPE}_POSIX_ACL={y,n} * Opt_acl, Opt_noacl Example: btrfs, ext4, xfs The only way to change the mode on a symlink currently involves abusing an O_PATH file descriptor in the following manner: fd = openat(-1, "/path/to/link", O_CLOEXEC | O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW); char path[PATH_MAX]; snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/self/fd/%d", fd); chmod(path, 0000); But for most major filesystems with POSIX ACL support such as btrfs, ext4, ceph, tmpfs, xfs and others this will fail with EOPNOTSUPP with the mode still updated due to the aforementioned posix_acl_chmod() nonsense. So, given that for all major filesystems this would fail with EOPNOTSUPP and that both glibc (cf. [1]) and musl (cf. [2]) outright block mode changes on symlinks we should just try and block mode changes on symlinks directly in the vfs and have a clean break with this nonsense. If this causes any regressions, we do the next best thing and fix up all filesystems that do return EOPNOTSUPP with the mode updated to not call posix_acl_chmod() on symlinks. But as usual, let's try the clean cut solution first. It's a simple patch that can be easily reverted. Not marking this for backport as I'll do that manually if we're reasonably sure that this works and there are no strong objections. We could block this in chmod_common() but it's more appropriate to do it notify_change() as it will also mean that we catch filesystems that change symlink permissions explicitly or accidently. Similar proposals were floated in the past as in [3] and [4] and again recently in [5]. There's also a couple of bugs about this inconsistency as in [6] and [7].

nfs: use vfs setgid helper

2023-03-30T06:51:48+00:00

We've aligned setgid behavior over multiple kernel releases. The details can be found in the following two merge messages: cf619f891971 ("Merge tag 'fs.ovl.setgid.v6.2') 426b4ca2d6a5 ("Merge tag 'fs.setgid.v6.0') Consistent setgid stripping behavior is now encapsulated in the setattr_should_drop_sgid() helper which is used by all filesystems that strip setgid bits outside of vfs proper. Switch nfs to rely on this helper as well. Without this patch the setgid stripping tests in xfstests will fail.

Merge tag 'fs.idmapped.v6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping

2023-02-20T19:53:11+00:00

Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner: - Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on struct mnt_idmap. Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces that are relevant on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a potential source for bugs. This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap. Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of two namespace arguments. Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably. Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers. That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings. We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific requirements. In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs. - Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request. A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this. However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this up. As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of additional tests. * tag 'fs.idmapped.v6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping: (26 commits) shmem: support idmapped mounts for tmpfs fs: move mnt_idmap fs: port vfs{g,u}id helpers to mnt_idmap fs: port fs{g,u}id helpers to mnt_idmap fs: port i_{g,u}id_into_vfs{g,u}id() to mnt_idmap fs: port i_{g,u}id_{needs_}update() to mnt_idmap quota: port to mnt_idmap fs: port privilege checking helpers to mnt_idmap fs: port inode_owner_or_capable() to mnt_idmap fs: port inode_init_owner() to mnt_idmap fs: port acl to mnt_idmap fs: port xattr to mnt_idmap fs: port ->permission() to pass mnt_idmap fs: port ->fileattr_set() to pass mnt_idmap fs: port ->set_acl() to pass mnt_idmap fs: port ->get_acl() to pass mnt_idmap fs: port ->tmpfile() to pass mnt_idmap fs: port ->rename() to pass mnt_idmap fs: port ->mknod() to pass mnt_idmap fs: port ->mkdir() to pass mnt_idmap ...

fs: port vfs{g,u}id helpers to mnt_idmap

Convert to struct mnt_idmap. Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap. Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for bugs. Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems only operate on struct mnt_idmap.
