* devcgroup: fix permission check when adding entry to child cgroupLi Zefan2008-07-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | # cat devices.list c 1:3 r # echo 'c 1:3 w' > sub/devices.allow # cat sub/devices.list c 1:3 w As illustrated, the parent group has no write permission to /dev/null, so it's child should not be allowed to add this write permission.

* devcgroup: always show positive major/minor numLi Zefan2008-07-131-2/+2

* devcgroup: fix odd behaviour when writing 'a' to devices.allowLi Zefan2008-07-041-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | # cat /devcg/devices.list a *:* rwm # echo a > devices.allow # cat /devcg/devices.list a *:* rwm a 0:0 rwm This is odd and maybe confusing. With this patch, writing 'a' to devices.allow will add 'a *:* rwm' to the whitelist. Also a few fixes and updates to the document.

* devscgroup: make white list more compact in some casesPavel Emelyanov2008-06-061-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Consider you added a 'c foo:bar r' permission to some cgroup and then (a bit later) 'c'foo:bar w' for it. After this you'll see the c foo:bar r c foo:bar w lines in a devices.list file. Another example - consider you added 10 'c foo:bar r' permissions to some cgroup (e.g. by mistake). After this you'll see 10 c foo:bar r lines in a list file. This is weird. This situation also has one more annoying consequence. Having many items in a white list makes permissions checking slower, sine it has to walk a longer list. The proposal is to merge permissions for items, that correspond to the same device.

* devscgroup: relax task to dev_cgroup conversionPavel Emelyanov2008-06-061-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two functions, that need to get a device_cgroup from a task (they are devcgroup_inode_permission and devcgroup_inode_mknod) make it in a strange way: They get a css_set from task, then a subsys_state from css_set, then a cgroup from the state and then a subsys_state again from the cgroup. Besides, the devices_subsys_id is read from memory, whilst there's a enum-ed constant for it. Optimize this part a bit: 1. Get the subsys_stats form the task and be done - no 2 extra dereferences, 2. Use the device_subsys_id constant, not the value from memory (i.e. one less dereference). Found while preparing 2.6.26 OpenVZ port.

* devcgroup: make a helper to convert cgroup_subsys_state to devs_cgroupPavel Emelyanov2008-06-061-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is just picking the container_of out of cgroup_to_devcgroup into a separate function. This new css_to_devcgroup will be used in the 2nd patch.

* cgroups: introduce cft->read_seq()Serge E. Hallyn2008-04-291-51/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a read_seq() helper in cftype, which uses seq_file to print out lists. Use it in the devices cgroup. Also split devices.allow into two files, so now devices.deny and devices.allow are the ones to use to manipulate the whitelist, while devices.list outputs the cgroup's current whitelist.

* cgroups: implement device whitelistSerge E. Hallyn2008-04-291-0/+603
Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions on device files. A device cgroup associates a device access whitelist with each cgroup. A whitelist entry has 4 fields. 'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block). 'all' means it applies to all types and all major and minor numbers. Major and minor are either an integer or * for all. Access is a composition of r (read), w (write), and m (mknod). The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'. A child devcg gets a copy of the parent. Admins can then remove devices from the whitelist or add new entries. A child cgroup can never receive a device access which is denied its parent. However when a device access is removed from a parent it will not also be removed from the child(ren). An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using devices.deny. For instance echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as /dev/null. Doing echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry. CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to change permissions or move another task to a new cgroup. A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's parent has. Any task can move itself between cgroups. This won't be sufficient, but we can decide the best way to adequately restrict movement later.
