tty, proc, kernfs, random: Use copy_splice_read()

2023-05-24T14:42:16+00:00

Use copy_splice_read() for tty, procfs, kernfs and random files rather than going through generic_file_splice_read() as they just copy the file into the output buffer and don't splice pages. This avoids the need for them to have a ->read_folio() to satisfy filemap_splice_read().

vfs: escape hash as well

2022-06-28T17:58:05+00:00

When a filesystem is mounted with a name that starts with a #: # mount '#name' /mnt/bad -t tmpfs this will cause the entry to look like this (leading space added so that git does not strip it out): #name /mnt/bad tmpfs rw,seclabel,relatime,inode64 0 0 This breaks getmntent and any code that aims to parse fstab as well as /proc/mounts with the same logic since they need to strip leading spaces or skip over comment lines, due to which they report incorrect output or skip over the line respectively. Solve this by translating the hash character into its octal encoding equivalent so that applications can decode the name correctly.

fs: add is_idmapped_mnt() helper

2021-12-03T17:44:06+00:00

Multiple places open-code the same check to determine whether a given mount is idmapped. Introduce a simple helper function that can be used instead. This allows us to get rid of the fragile open-coding. We will later change the check that is used to determine whether a given mount is idmapped. Introducing a helper allows us to do this in a single place instead of doing it for multiple places.

fs: introduce MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP

2021-01-24T13:43:45+00:00

Introduce a new mount bind mount property to allow idmapping mounts. The MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag can be set via the new mount_setattr() syscall together with a file descriptor referring to a user namespace. The user namespace referenced by the namespace file descriptor will be attached to the bind mount. All interactions with the filesystem going through that mount will be mapped according to the mapping specified in the user namespace attached to it. Using user namespaces to mark mounts means we can reuse all the existing infrastructure in the kernel that already exists to handle idmappings and can also use this for permission checking to allow unprivileged user to create idmapped mounts in the future. Idmapping a mount is decoupled from the caller's user and mount namespace. This means idmapped mounts can be created in the initial user namespace which is an important use-case for systemd-homed, portable usb-sticks between systems, sharing data between the initial user namespace and unprivileged containers, and other use-cases that have been brought up. For example, assume a home directory where all files are owned by uid and gid 1000 and the home directory is brought to a new laptop where the user has id 12345. The system administrator can simply create a mount of this home directory with a mapping of 1000:12345:1 and other mappings to indicate the ids should be kept. (With this it is e.g. also possible to create idmapped mounts on the host with an identity mapping 1:1:100000 where the root user is not mapped. A user with root access that e.g. has been pivot rooted into such a mount on the host will be not be able to execute, read, write, or create files as root.) Given that mapping a mount is decoupled from the caller's user namespace a sufficiently privileged process such as a container manager can set up an idmapped mount for the container and the container can simply pivot root to it. There's no need for the container to do anything. The mount will appear correctly mapped independent of the user namespace the container uses. This means we don't need to mark a mount as idmappable. In order to create an idmapped mount the caller must currently be privileged in the user namespace of the superblock the mount belongs to. Once a mount has been idmapped we don't allow it to change its mapping. This keeps permission checking and life-cycle management simple. Users wanting to change the idmapped can always create a new detached mount with a different idmapping.

proc mountinfo: make splice available again

2020-12-27T20:00:36+00:00

Since commit 36e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit ops") we've required that file operation structures explicitly enable splice support, rather than falling back to the default handlers. Most /proc files use the indirect 'struct proc_ops' to describe their file operations, and were fixed up to support splice earlier in commits 40be821d627c..b24c30c67863, but the mountinfo files interact with the VFS directly using their own 'struct file_operations' and got missed as a result. This adds the necessary support for splice to work for /proc/*/mountinfo and friends.

Add a "nosymfollow" mount option.

2020-08-27T20:06:47+00:00

For mounts that have the new "nosymfollow" option, don't follow symlinks when resolving paths. The new option is similar in spirit to the existing "nodev", "noexec", and "nosuid" options, as well as to the LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS resolve flag in the openat2(2) syscall. Various BSD variants have been supporting the "nosymfollow" mount option for a long time with equivalent implementations. Note that symlinks may still be created on file systems mounted with the "nosymfollow" option present. readlink() remains functional, so user space code that is aware of symlinks can still choose to follow them explicitly. Setting the "nosymfollow" mount option helps prevent privileged writers from modifying files unintentionally in case there is an unexpected link along the accessed path. The "nosymfollow" option is thus useful as a defensive measure for systems that need to deal with untrusted file systems in privileged contexts.

Merge branch 'proc-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

Pull proc updates from Eric Biederman: "This has four sets of changes: - modernize proc to support multiple private instances - ensure we see the exit of each process tid exactly - remove has_group_leader_pid - use pids not tasks in posix-cpu-timers lookup Alexey updated proc so each mount of proc uses a new superblock. This allows people to actually use mount options with proc with no fear of messing up another mount of proc. Given the kernel's internal mounts of proc for things like uml this was a real problem, and resulted in Android's hidepid mount options being ignored and introducing security issues. The rest of the changes are small cleanups and fixes that came out of my work to allow this change to proc. In essence it is swapping the pids in de_thread during exec which removes a special case the code had to handle.

proc/mounts: add cursor

2020-05-14T14:44:24+00:00

If mounts are deleted after a read(2) call on /proc/self/mounts (or its kin), the subsequent read(2) could miss a mount that comes after the deleted one in the list. This is because the file position is interpreted as the number mount entries from the start of the list. E.g. first read gets entries #0 to #9; the seq file index will be 10. Then entry #5 is deleted, resulting in #10 becoming #9 and #11 becoming #10, etc... The next read will continue from entry #10, and #9 is missed. Solve this by adding a cursor entry for each open instance. Taking the global namespace_sem for write seems excessive, since we are only dealing with a per-namespace list. Instead add a per-namespace spinlock and use that together with namespace_sem taken for read to protect against concurrent modification of the mount list. This may reduce parallelism of is_local_mountpoint(), but it's hardly a big contention point. We could also use RCU freeing of cursors to make traversal not need additional locks, if that turns out to be neceesary. Only move the cursor once for each read (cursor is not added on open) to minimize cacheline invalidation. When EOF is reached, the cursor is taken off the list, in order to prevent an excessive number of cursors due to inactive open file descriptors. Reported-by: Karel Zak Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

vfs: subtype handling moved to fuse

2019-09-06T19:28:49+00:00

The unused vfs code can be removed. Don't pass empty subtype (same as if ->parse callback isn't called). The bits that are left involve determining whether it's permitted to split the filesystem type string passed in to mount(2). Consequently, this means that we cannot get rid of the FS_HAS_SUBTYPE flag unless we define that a type string with a dot in it always indicates a subtype specification.
