2016-07-29ovl: append MAY_READ when diluting write checksVivek Goyal1-1/+4
Right now we remove MAY_WRITE/MAY_APPEND bits from mask if realfile is on lower/. This is done as files on lower will never be written and will be copied up. But to copy up a file, mounter should have MAY_READ permission otherwise copy up will fail. So set MAY_READ in mask when MAY_WRITE is reset. Dan Walsh noticed this when he did access(lowerfile, W_OK) and it returned True (context mounts) but when he tried to actually write to file, it failed as mounter did not have permission on lower file. [SzM] don't set MAY_READ if only MAY_APPEND is set without MAY_WRITE; this won't trigger a copy-up.

2016-07-29ovl: dilute permission checks on lower only if not special fileVivek Goyal1-1/+1
Right now if file is on lower/, we remove MAY_WRITE/MAY_APPEND bits from mask as lower/ will never be written and file will be copied up. But this is not true for special files. These files are not copied up and are opened in place. So don't dilute the checks for these types of files.

2016-07-29ovl: fix POSIX ACL settingMiklos Szeredi1-7/+5
Setting POSIX ACL needs special handling: 1) Some permission checks are done by ->setxattr() which now uses mounter's creds ("ovl: do operations on underlying file system in mounter's context"). These permission checks need to be done with current cred as well. 2) Setting ACL can fail for various reasons. We do not need to copy up in these cases. In the mean time switch to using generic_setxattr. [Arnd Bergmann] Fix link error without POSIX ACL. posix_acl_from_xattr() doesn't have a 'static inline' implementation when CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL is disabled, and I could not come up with an obvious way to do it. This instead avoids the link error by defining two sets of ACL operations and letting the compiler drop one of the two at compile time depending on CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL. This avoids all references to the ACL code, also leading to smaller code. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
2016-07-29ovl: share inode for hard linkMiklos Szeredi1-11/+40
Inode attributes are copied up to overlay inode (uid, gid, mode, atime, mtime, ctime) so generic code using these fields works correcty. If a hard link is created in overlayfs separate inodes are allocated for each link. If chmod/chown/etc. is performed on one of the links then the inode belonging to the other ones won't be updated. This patch attempts to fix this by sharing inodes for hard links. Use inode hash (with real inode pointer as a key) to make sure overlay inodes are shared for hard links on upper. Hard links on lower are still split (which is not user observable until the copy-up happens, see Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt under "Non-standard behavior"). The inode is only inserted in the hash if it is non-directoy and upper. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
2016-07-29ovl: store real inode pointer in ->i_privateMiklos Szeredi1-8/+3
To get from overlay inode to real inode we currently use 'struct ovl_entry', which has lifetime connected to overlay dentry. This is okay, since each overlay dentry had a new overlay inode allocated. Following patch will break that assumption, so need to leave out ovl_entry. This patch stores the real inode directly in i_private, with the lowest bit used to indicate whether the inode is upper or lower. Lifetime rules remain, using ovl_inode_real() must only be done while caller holds ref on overlay dentry (and hence on real dentry), or within RCU protected regions.

2016-07-29ovl: update atime on upperMiklos Szeredi1-3/+26
Fix atime update logic in overlayfs. This patch adds an i_op->update_time() handler to overlayfs inodes. This forwards atime updates to the upper layer only. No atime updates are done on lower layers. Remove implicit atime updates to underlying files and directories with O_NOATIME. Remove explicit atime update in ovl_readlink(). Clear atime related mnt flags from cloned upper mount. This means atime updates are controlled purely by overlayfs mount options.

2016-07-29ovl: simplify permission checkingMiklos Szeredi1-45/+1
The fact that we always do permission checking on the overlay inode and clear MAY_WRITE for checking access to the lower inode allows cruft to be removed from ovl_permission(). 1) "default_permissions" option effectively did generic_permission() on the overlay inode with i_mode, i_uid and i_gid updated from underlying filesystem. This is what we do by default now. It did the update using vfs_getattr() but that's only needed if the underlying filesystem can change (which is not allowed). We may later introduce a "paranoia_mode" that verifies that mode/uid/gid are not changed. 2) splitting out the IS_RDONLY() check from inode_permission() also becomes unnecessary once we remove the MAY_WRITE from the lower inode check.

2016-07-29ovl: do not require mounter to have MAY_WRITE on lowerVivek Goyal1-0/+2
Now we have two levels of checks in ovl_permission(). overlay inode is checked with the creds of task while underlying inode is checked with the creds of mounter. Looks like mounter does not have to have WRITE access to files on lower/. So remove the MAY_WRITE from access mask for checks on underlying lower inode. This means task should still have the MAY_WRITE permission on lower inode and mounter is not required to have MAY_WRITE. It also solves the problem of read only NFS mounts being used as lower. If __inode_permission(lower_inode, MAY_WRITE) is called on read only NFS, it fails. By resetting MAY_WRITE, check succeeds and case of read only NFS shold work with overlay without having to specify any special mount options (default permission).

2016-07-04ovl: Copy up underlying inode's ->i_mode to overlay inodeVivek Goyal1-2/+1
Right now when a new overlay inode is created, we initialize overlay inode's ->i_mode from underlying inode ->i_mode but we retain only file type bits (S_IFMT) and discard permission bits. This patch changes it and retains permission bits too. This should allow overlay to do permission checks on overlay inode itself in task context. [SzM] It also fixes clearing suid/sgid bits on write.

2016-07-04ovl: handle ATTR_KILL*Miklos Szeredi1-0/+3
Before 4bacc9c9234c ("overlayfs: Make f_path...") file->f_path pointed to the underlying file, hence suid/sgid removal on write worked fine. After that patch file->f_path pointed to the overlay file, and the file mode bits weren't copied to overlay_inode->i_mode. So the suid/sgid removal simply stopped working. The fix is to copy the mode bits, but then ovl_setattr() needs to clear ATTR_MODE to avoid the BUG() in notify_change(). So do this first, then in the next patch copy the mode.

2016-06-30vfs: merge .d_select_inode() into .d_real()Miklos Szeredi1-21/+10
The two methods essentially do the same: find the real dentry/inode belonging to an overlay dentry. The difference is in the usage: vfs_open() uses ->d_select_inode() and expects the function to perform copy-up if necessary based on the open flags argument. file_dentry() uses ->d_real() passing in the overlay dentry as well as the underlying inode. vfs_rename() uses ->d_select_inode() but passes zero flags. ->d_real() with a zero inode would have worked just as well here. This patch merges the functionality of ->d_select_inode() into ->d_real() by adding an 'open_flags' argument to the latter. [Al Viro] Make the signature of d_real() match that of ->d_real() again. And constify the inode argument, while we are at it. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

2016-06-06ovl: xattr filter fixMiklos Szeredi1-20/+6
a) ovl_need_xattr_filter() is wrong, we can have multiple lower layers overlaid, all of which (except the lowest one) honouring the "trusted.overlay.opaque" xattr. So need to filter everything except the bottom and the pure-upper layer. b) we no longer can assume that inode is attached to dentry in get/setxattr. This patch unconditionally filters private xattrs to fix both of the above. Performance impact for get/removexattrs is likely in the noise. For listxattrs it might be measurable in pathological cases, but I very much hope nobody cares. If they do, we'll fix it then.

smack ->d_instantiate() uses ->setxattr(), so to be able to call it before we'd hashed the new dentry and attached it to inode, we need ->setxattr() instances getting the inode as an explicit argument rather than obtaining it from dentry. Similar change for ->getxattr() had been done in commit ce23e64. Unlike ->getxattr() (which is used by both selinux and smack instances of ->d_instantiate()) ->setxattr() is used only by smack one and unfortunately it got missed back then.

[Al Viro] The bug is in being too enthusiastic about optimizing ->setattr() away - instead of "copy verbatim with metadata" + "chmod/chown/utimes" (with the former being always safe and the latter failing in case of insufficient permissions) it tries to combine these two. Note that copyup itself will have to do ->setattr() anyway; _that_ is where the elevated capabilities are right.

2015-10-12ovl: default permissionsMiklos Szeredi1-0/+23
Add mount option "default_permissions" to alter the way permissions are calculated. Without this option and prior to this patch permissions were calculated by underlying lower or upper filesystem. With this option the permissions are calculated by overlayfs based on the file owner, group and mode bits. This has significance for example when a read-only exported NFS filesystem is used as a lower layer. In this case the underlying NFS filesystem will reply with EROFS, in which case all we know is that the filesystem is read-only. But that's not what we are interested in, we are interested in whether the access would be allowed if the filesystem wasn't read-only; the server doesn't tell us that, and would need updating at various levels, which doesn't seem practicable.

Xattr operations can race with copy up. This does not matter as long as we consistently fiter out "trunsted.overlay.opaque" attribute on upper directories. Previously we checked parent against OVL_PATH_MERGE. This is too general, and prone to race with copy-up. I.e. we found the parent to be on the lower layer but ovl_dentry_real() would return the copied-up dentry, possibly with the "opaque" attribute. So instead use ovl_path_real() and decide to filter the attributes based on the actual type of the dentry we'll use. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2014-10-24overlay filesystemMiklos Szeredi1-0/+425
Overlayfs allows one, usually read-write, directory tree to be overlaid onto another, read-only directory tree. All modifications go to the upper, writable layer. This type of mechanism is most often used for live CDs but there's a wide variety of other uses. The implementation differs from other "union filesystem" implementations in that after a file is opened all operations go directly to the underlying, lower or upper, filesystems. This simplifies the implementation and allows native performance in these cases. The dentry tree is duplicated from the underlying filesystems, this enables fast cached lookups without adding special support into the VFS. This uses slightly more memory than union mounts, but dentries are relatively small. Currently inodes are duplicated as well, but it is a possible optimization to share inodes for non-directories. Opening non directories results in the open forwarded to the underlying filesystem. This makes the behavior very similar to union mounts (with the same limitations vs. fchmod/fchown on O_RDONLY file descriptors). Usage: mount -t overlayfs overlayfs -olowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper/upper,workdir=/upper/work /overlay The following cotributions have been folded into this patch: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>: - minimal remount support - use correct seek function for directories - initialise is_real before use - rename ovl_fill_cache to ovl_dir_read Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>: - fix a deadlock in ovl_dir_read_merged - fix a deadlock in ovl_remove_whiteouts Erez Zadok <ezk@fsl.cs.sunysb.edu> - fix cleanup after WARN_ON Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@googlemail.com> - fix up permission to confirm to new API Robin Dong <hao.bigrat@gmail.com> - fix possible leak in ovl_new_inode - create new inode in ovl_link Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> - switch to __inode_permission() - copy up i_uid/i_gid from the underlying inode AV: - ovl_copy_up_locked() - dput(ERR_PTR(...)) on two failure exits - ovl_clear_empty() - one failure exit forgetting to do unlock_rename(), lack of check for udir being the parent of upper, dropping and regaining the lock on udir (which would require _another_ check for parent being right). - bogus d_drop() in copyup and rename [fix from your mail] - copyup/remove and copyup/rename races [fix from your mail] - ovl_dir_fsync() leaving ERR_PTR() in ->realfile - ovl_entry_free() is pointless - it's just a kfree_rcu() - fold ovl_do_lookup() into ovl_lookup() - manually assigning ->d_op is wrong. Just use ->s_d_op.
