generic_permission() turned out to be costlier than expected. The reason
is that acl_permission_check() performs owner checks that involve costly
pointer dereferences.
There's already code that skips expensive group checks if the group and
other permission bits are the same wrt to the mask that is checked. This
logic can be extended to also shortcut permission checking in
acl_permission_check().
If the inode doesn't have POSIX ACLs than ownership doesn't matter. If
there are no missing UGO permissions the permission check can be
shortcut.

If we find a positive dentry we can now simply try and open it. All

During O_CREAT we unconditionally audit the parent inode. This makes it
difficult to support a fastpath for O_CREAT when the file already exists
because we have to drop out of RCU lookup needlessly.
We worked around this by checking whether audit was actually active but
that's also suboptimal. Instead, move the audit of the parent inode down
into lookup_open() at a point where it's mostly certain that the file
needs to be created.
This also reduced the inconsistency that currently exists: while audit
on the parent is done independent of whether or no the file already
existed an audit on the file is only performed if it has been created.
By moving the audit down a bit we emit the audit a little later but it
will allow us to simplify the fastpath for O_CREAT significantly.

Today, when opening a file we'll typically do a fast lookup, but if
O_CREAT is set, the kernel always takes the exclusive inode lock. I
assume this was done with the expectation that O_CREAT means that we
always expect to do the create, but that's often not the case. Many
programs set O_CREAT even in scenarios where the file already exists.
This patch rearranges the pathwalk-for-open code to also attempt a
fast_lookup in certain O_CREAT cases. If a positive dentry is found, the
inode_lock can be avoided altogether, and if auditing isn't enabled, it
can stay in rcuwalk mode for the last step_into.
One notable exception that is hopefully temporary: if we're doing an
rcuwalk and auditing is enabled, skip the lookup_fast. Legitimizing the
dentry in that case is more expensive than taking the i_rwsem for now.

For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Support passing NULL along AT_EMPTY_PATH for statx().
NULL paths with any flag value other than AT_EMPTY_PATH go the
usual route and end up with -EFAULT to retain compatibility (Rust
is abusing calls of the sort to detect availability of statx)
This avoids path lookup code, lockref management, memory allocation
and in case of NULL path userspace memory access (which can be
quite expensive with SMAP on x86_64)
- Don't block i_writecount during exec. Remove the
deny_write_access() mechanism for executables
- Relax open_by_handle_at() permissions in specific cases where we
can prove that the caller had sufficient privileges to open a file
- Switch timespec64 fields in struct inode to discrete integers
freeing up 4 bytes
Fixes:
- Fix false positive circular locking warning in hfsplus
- Initialize hfs_inode_info after hfs_alloc_inode() in hfs
- Avoid accidental overflows in vfs_fallocate()
- Don't interrupt fallocate with EINTR in tmpfs to avoid constantly
restarting shmem_fallocate()
- Add missing quote in comment in fs/readdir
Cleanups:
- Don't assign and test in an if statement in mqueue. Move the
assignment out of the if statement
- Reflow the logic in may_create_in_sticky()
- Remove the usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API from procfs
- Reject FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL requets that depend on the new

This is the last - for now - of the "look, we generated some
questionable code for basic pathname lookup operations" set of
branches.
This is mainly just re-organizing the name hashing code in
link_path_walk(), mostly by improving the calling conventions to
the inlined helper functions and moving some of the code around
to allow for more straightforward code generation.
The profiles - and the generated code - look much more palatable
to me now.
* link_path_walk:
vfs: link_path_walk: move more of the name hashing into hash_name()
vfs: link_path_walk: improve may_lookup() code generation
vfs: link_path_walk: do '.' and '..' detection while hashing
vfs: link_path_walk: clarify and improve name hashing interface
vfs: link_path_walk: simplify name hash flow

Instead of having separate calls to 'inode_permission()' depending on
whether we're in RCU lookup or not, just share the first call.
Note that the initial "conditional" on LOOKUP_RCU really turns into just
a "convert the LOOKUP_RCU bit in the nameidata into the MAY_NOT_BLOCK
bit in the argument", which is just a trivial bitwise and and shift
operation.
So the initial conditional goes away entirely, and then the likely case
is that it will succeed independently of us being in RCU lookup or not,
and the possible "we may need to fall out of RCU and redo it all" fixups
that are needed afterwards all go in the unlikely path.
[ This also marks 'nd' restrict, because that means that the compiler
can know that there is no other alias, and can cache the LOOKUP_RCU
value over the call to inode_permission(). ]

Instead of loading the name again to detect '.' and '..', just use the
fact that we already had the masked last word available when as we
created the name hash. Which is exactly what we'd then test for.

since we have the byte-at-a-time loop as a fallback that doesn't do BE
word loads. But not a big deal.

Now that we clearly only care about the length of the name we just
parsed, we can simplify and clarify the interface to "name_hash()", and
move the actual nd->last field setting in there.
That makes everything simpler, and this way don't mix the hash and the
length together only to then immediately unmix them again.
We still eventually want the combined mixed "hashlen" for when we look
things up in the dentry cache, but inside link_path_walk() it's simpler
and clearer to just deal with the path component length.

This is one of those hot functions in path walking, and it's doing
things in just the wrong order that causes slightly unnecessary extra
work.
Move the name pointer update and the setting of 'nd->last' up a bit, so
that the (unlikely) filesystem-specific hashing can run on them in
place, instead of having to set up a copy on the stack and copy things
back and forth.
Because even when the hashing is not run, it causes the stack frame of
the function to be bigger to hold the unnecessary temporary copy.
This also means that we never then reference the full "hashlen" field
after calculating it, and can clarify the code with just using the
length part.

When a file is opened and created with open(..., O_CREAT) we get
both the CREATE and OPEN fsnotify events and would expect them in that
order. For most filesystems we get them in that order because
open_last_lookups() calls fsnofify_create() and then do_open() (from
path_openat()) calls vfs_open()->do_dentry_open() which calls
fsnotify_open().
However when ->atomic_open is used, the
do_dentry_open() -> fsnotify_open()
call happens from finish_open() which is called from the ->atomic_open
handler in lookup_open() which is called *before* open_last_lookups()
calls fsnotify_create. So we get the "open" notification before
"create" - which is backwards. ltp testcase inotify02 tests this and
reports the inconsistency.
This patch lifts the fsnotify_open() call out of do_dentry_open() and
places it higher up the call stack. There are three callers of
do_dentry_open().
For vfs_open() and kernel_file_open() the fsnotify_open() is placed
directly in that caller so there should be no behavioural change.
For finish_open() there are two cases:
- finish_open is used in ->atomic_open handlers. For these we add a
call to fsnotify_open() at open_last_lookups() if FMODE_OPENED is
set - which means do_dentry_open() has been called.
- finish_open is used in ->tmpfile() handlers. For these a similar
call to fsnotify_open() is added to vfs_tmpfile()
With this patch NFSv3 is restored to its previous behaviour (before
->atomic_open support was added) of generating CREATE notifications
before OPEN, and NFSv4 now has that same correct ordering that is has
not had before. I haven't tested other filesystems.

Combine inode creation with opening a file.
There are six separate objects that are being set up: the backing inode,
dentry and file, and the overlay inode, dentry and file. Cleanup in case
of an error is a bit of a challenge and is difficult to test, so careful
review is needed.
All tmpfile testcases except generic/509 now run/pass, and no regressions
are observed with full xfstests.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results”
We've tried to do this before, most recently with commit bb2314b47996
("fs: Allow unprivileged linkat(..., AT_EMPTY_PATH) aka flink") about a
decade ago.
But the effort goes back even further than that, eg this thread back
from 1998 that is so old that we don't even have it archived in lore:
https://lkml.org/lkml/1998/3/10/108
which also points out some of the reasons why it's dangerous.
Or, how about then in 2003:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2003/4/6/112
where we went through some of the same arguments, just wirh different
people involved.
In particular, having access to a file descriptor does not necessarily
mean that you have access to the path that was used for lookup, and
there may be very good reasons why you absolutely must not have access
to a path to said file.
For example, if we were passed a file descriptor from the outside into
some limited environment (think chroot, but also user namespaces etc) a
'flink()' system call could now make that file visible inside a context
where it's not supposed to be visible.
In the process the user may also be able to re-open it with permissions
that the original file descriptor did not have (eg a read-only file
descriptor may be associated with an underlying file that is writable).
Another variation on this is if somebody else (typically root) opens a
file in a directory that is not accessible to others, and passes the
file descriptor on as a read-only file. Again, the access to the file
descriptor does not imply that you should have access to a path to the
file in the filesystem.
So while we have tried this several times in the past, it never works.
The last time we did this, that commit bb2314b47996 quickly got reverted
again in commit f0cc6ffb8ce8 (Revert "fs: Allow unprivileged linkat(...,
AT_EMPTY_PATH) aka flink"), with a note saying "We may re-do this once
the whole discussion about the interface is done".
Well, the discussion is long done, and didn't come to any resolution.
There's no question that 'flink()' would be a useful operation, but it's
a dangerous one.
However, it does turn out that since 2008 (commit d76b0d9b2d87: "CRED:
Use creds in file structs") we have had a fairly straightforward way to
check whether the file descriptor was opened by the same credentials as
the credentials of the flink().
That allows the most common patterns that people want to use, which tend
to be to either open the source carefully (ie using the openat2()
RESOLVE_xyz flags, and/or checking ownership with fstat() before
linking), or to use O_TMPFILE and fill in the file contents before it's
exposed to the world with linkat().
But it also means that if the file descriptor was opened by somebody
else, or we've gone through a credentials change since, the operation no
longer works (unless we have CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capabilities in the
opener's user namespace, as before).
Note that the credential equality check is done by using pointer
equality, which means that it's not enough that you have effectively the
same user - they have to be literally identical, since our credentials
are using copy-on-write semantics.
So you can't change your credentials to something else and try to change
it back to the same ones between the open() and the linkat(). This is
not meant to be some kind of generic permission check, this is literally
meant as a "the open and link calls are 'atomic' wrt user credentials"
check.
It also means that you can't just move things between namespaces,
because the credentials aren't just a list of uid's and gid's: they
includes the pointer to the user_ns that the capabilities are relative
to.
So let's try this one more time and see if maybe this approach ends up
being workable after all.

Commit 08abce60d63f ("security: Introduce path_post_mknod hook")
introduced security_path_post_mknod(), to replace the IMA-specific call
to ima_post_path_mknod().
For symmetry with security_path_mknod(), security_path_post_mknod() was
called after a successful mknod operation, for any file type, rather
than only for regular files at the time there was the IMA call.
However, as reported by VFS maintainers, successful mknod operation does
not mean that the dentry always has an inode attached to it (for
example, not for FIFOs on a SAMBA mount).
If that condition happens, the kernel crashes when
security_path_post_mknod() attempts to verify if the inode associated to
the dentry is private.
Move security_path_post_mknod() where the ima_post_path_mknod() call was,
which is obviously correct from IMA/EVM perspective. IMA/EVM are the only
in-kernel users, and only need to inspect regular files.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Promote IMA/EVM to a proper LSM
This is the bulk of the diffstat, and the source of all the changes
in the VFS code. Prior to the start of the LSM stacking work it was
important that IMA/EVM were separate from the rest of the LSMs,
complete with their own hooks, infrastructure, etc. as it was the
only way to enable IMA/EVM at the same time as a LSM.
However, now that the bulk of the LSM infrastructure supports
multiple simultaneous LSMs, we can simplify things greatly by
bringing IMA/EVM into the LSM infrastructure as proper LSMs. This is
something I've wanted to see happen for quite some time and Roberto
was kind enough to put in the work to make it happen.
- Use the LSM hook default values to simplify the call_int_hook() macro
Previously the call_int_hook() macro required callers to supply a
default return value, despite a default value being specified when
the LSM hook was defined.
This simplifies the macro by using the defined default return value
which makes life easier for callers and should also reduce the number
of return value bugs in the future (we've had a few pop up recently,
hence this work).
- Use the KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of kmem_cache_create()
The guidance appears to be to use the KMEM_CACHE() macro when
possible and there is no reason why we can't use the macro, so let's
use it.
- Fix a number of comment typos in the LSM hook comment blocks
Not much to say here, we fixed some questionable grammar decisions in
the LSM hook comment blocks.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Misc features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual filesystems.
Features:
- Support idmapped mounts for hugetlbfs.
- Add RWF_NOAPPEND flag for pwritev2(). This allows us to fix a bug
where the passed offset is ignored if the file is O_APPEND. The new
flag allows a caller to enforce that the offset is honored to
conform to posix even if the file was opened in append mode.
- Move i_mmap_rwsem in struct address_space to avoid false sharing
between i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem.
- Convert efs, qnx4, and coda to use the new mount api.
- Add a generic is_dot_dotdot() helper that's used by various
filesystems and the VFS code instead of open-coding it multiple
times.
- Recently we've added stable offsets which allows stable ordering
when iterating directories exported through NFS on e.g., tmpfs
filesystems. Originally an xarray was used for the offset map but
that caused slab fragmentation issues over time. This switches the
offset map to the maple tree which has a dense mode that handles
this scenario a lot better. Includes tests.
- Finally merge the case-insensitive improvement series Gabriel has
been working on for a long time. This cleanly propagates case
insensitive operations through ->s_d_op which in turn allows us to
remove the quite ugly generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops() operations.
It also improves performance by trying a case-sensitive comparison
first and then fallback to case-insensitive lookup if that fails.
This also fixes a bug where overlayfs would be able to be mounted
over a case insensitive directory which would lead to all sort of
odd behaviors.
Cleanups:
- Make file_dentry() a simple accessor now that ->d_real() is
simplified because of the backing file work we did the last two
cycles.
- Use the dedicated file_mnt_idmap helper in ntfs3.
- Use smp_load_acquire/store_release() in the i_size_read/write
helpers and thus remove the hack to handle i_size reads in the
filemap code.
- The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is a nop now. Remove it from various places in
fs/
- It's no longer necessary to perform a second built-in initramfs
unpack call because we retain the contents of the previous
extraction. Remove it.
- Now that we have removed various allocators kfree_rcu() always
works with kmem caches and kmalloc(). So simplify various places
that only use an rcu callback in order to handle the kmem cache
case.
- Convert the pipe code to use a lockdep comparison function instead
of open-coding the nesting making lockdep validation easier.
- Move code into fs-writeback.c that was located in a header but can
be made static as it's only used in that one file.
- Rewrite the alignment checking iterators for iovec and bvec to be
easier to read, and also significantly more compact in terms of
generated code. This saves 270 bytes of text on x86-64 (with
clang-18) and 224 bytes on arm64 (with gcc-13). In profiles it also
saves a bit of time for the same workload.
- Switch various places to use KMEM_CACHE instead of
kmem_cache_create().
- Use inode_set_ctime_to_ts() in inode_set_ctime_current()
- Use kzalloc() in name_to_handle_at() to avoid kernel infoleak.
- Various smaller cleanups for eventfds.
Fixes:
- Fix various comments and typos, and unneeded initializations.
- Fix stack allocation hack for clang in the select code.
- Improve dump_mapping() debug code on a best-effort basis.
- Fix build errors in various selftests.
- Avoid wrap-around instrumentation in various places.
- Don't allow user namespaces without an idmapping to be used for
idmapped mounts.
- Fix sysv sb_read() call.
- Fix fallback implementation of the get_name() export operation"

If lazy call of ->permission() returns a hard error, check that
try_to_unlazy() succeeds before returning it. That both makes
life easier for ->permission() instances and closes the race
in ENOTDIR handling - it is possible that positive d_can_lookup()
seen in link_path_walk() applies to the state *after* unlink() +
mkdir(), while nd->inode matches the state prior to that.
Normally seeing e.g. EACCES from permission check in rcu pathwalk
means that with some timings non-rcu pathwalk would've run into
the same; however, running into a non-executable regular file
in the middle of a pathname would not get to permission check -
it would fail with ENOTDIR instead.

Move hardcoded IMA function calls (not appraisal-specific functions) from
various places in the kernel to the LSM infrastructure, by introducing a
new LSM named 'ima' (at the end of the LSM list and always enabled like
'integrity').
Having IMA before EVM in the Makefile is sufficient to preserve the
relative order of the new 'ima' LSM in respect to the upcoming 'evm' LSM,
and thus the order of IMA and EVM function calls as when they were
hardcoded.
Make moved functions as static (except ima_post_key_create_or_update(),
which is not in ima_main.c), and register them as implementation of the
respective hooks in the new function init_ima_lsm().
Select CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH, to ensure that the path-based LSM hook
path_post_mknod is always available and ima_post_path_mknod() is always
executed to mark files as new, as before the move.
A slight difference is that IMA and EVM functions registered for the
inode_post_setattr, inode_post_removexattr, path_post_mknod,
inode_post_create_tmpfile, inode_post_set_acl and inode_post_remove_acl
won't be executed for private inodes. Since those inodes are supposed to be
fs-internal, they should not be of interest to IMA or EVM. The S_PRIVATE
flag is used for anonymous inodes, hugetlbfs, reiserfs xattrs, XFS scrub
and kernel-internal tmpfs files.
Conditionally register ima_post_key_create_or_update() if
CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS is enabled. Also, conditionally register
ima_kernel_module_request() if CONFIG_INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS is enabled.
Finally, add the LSM_ID_IMA case in lsm_list_modules_test.c.

This patch creates wordpart.h and includes it in asm/word-at-a-time.h
for all architectures. WORD_AT_A_TIME_CONSTANTS depends on kernel.h
because of REPEAT_BYTE. Moving this to another header and including it
where necessary allows us to not include the bloated kernel.h. Making
this implicit dependency on REPEAT_BYTE explicit allows for later
improvements in the lib/string.c inclusion list.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
has been doing all this work.
In the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to
remove the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/
directory only.
The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as
those patches are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect
also the removal of the no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
Let us recap the purpose of this work:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to
see further work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the
struct ctl_table.
Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have
suggested for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for
v6.9-rc1 I look forward to seeing him sent you a pull request for
further sysctl changes. This also removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer
as he has moved on to other projects and has had no time to help at
all"

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :

A file that has never gotten FMODE_OPENED will never have RCU-accessed
references, its final fput() is equivalent to file_free() and if it
doesn't have FMODE_BACKING either, it can be done from any context and
won't need task_work treatment.
Now that we have SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU we can simplify this and have
other callers benefit. All of that can be achieved easier is to make
fput() recoginze that case and call file_free() directly.
No need to introduce a special primitive for that. It also allowed
things like failing dentry_open() could benefit from that as well.

... and fix the directory locking documentation and proof of correctness.
Holding ->s_vfs_rename_mutex *almost* prevents ->d_parent changes; the
case where we really don't want it is splicing the root of disconnected
tree to somewhere.
In other words, ->s_vfs_rename_mutex is sufficient to stabilize "X is an
ancestor of Y" only if X and Y are already in the same tree. Otherwise
it can go from false to true, and one can construct a deadlock on that.
Make lock_two_directories() report an error in such case and update the
callers of lock_rename()/lock_rename_child() to handle such errors.
And yes, such conditions are not impossible to create ;-/

We should never lock two subdirectories without having taken
->s_vfs_rename_mutex; inode pointer order or not, the "order" proposed
in 28eceeda130f "fs: Lock moved directories" is not transitive, with
the usual consequences.
The rationale for locking renamed subdirectory in all cases was
the possibility of race between rename modifying .. in a subdirectory to
reflect the new parent and another thread modifying the same subdirectory.
For a lot of filesystems that's not a problem, but for some it can lead
to trouble (e.g. the case when short directory contents is kept in the
inode, but creating a file in it might push it across the size limit
and copy its contents into separate data block(s)).
However, we need that only in case when the parent does change -
otherwise ->rename() doesn't need to do anything with .. entry in the
first place. Some instances are lazy and do a tautological update anyway,
but it's really not hard to avoid.
Amended locking rules for rename():
find the parent(s) of source and target
if source and target have the same parent
lock the common parent
else
lock ->s_vfs_rename_mutex
lock both parents, in ancestor-first order; if neither
is an ancestor of another, lock the parent of source
first.
find the source and target.
if source and target have the same parent
if operation is an overwriting rename of a subdirectory
lock the target subdirectory
else
if source is a subdirectory
lock the source
if target is a subdirectory
lock the target
lock non-directories involved, in inode pointer order if both
source and target are such.
That way we are guaranteed that parents are locked (for obvious reasons),
that any renamed non-directory is locked (nfsd relies upon that),
that any victim is locked (emptiness check needs that, among other things)
and subdirectory that changes parent is locked (needed to protect the update
of .. entries). We are also guaranteed that any operation locking more
than one directory either takes ->s_vfs_rename_mutex or locks a parent
followed by its child.
