fs: call fsnotify_sb_delete after evict_inodes

2019-12-18T05:03:01+00:00

When a filesystem is unmounted, we currently call fsnotify_sb_delete() before evict_inodes(), which means that fsnotify_unmount_inodes() must iterate over all inodes on the superblock looking for any inodes with watches. This is inefficient and can lead to livelocks as it iterates over many unwatched inodes. At this point, SB_ACTIVE is gone and dropping refcount to zero kicks the inode out out immediately, so anything processed by fsnotify_sb_delete / fsnotify_unmount_inodes gets evicted in that loop. After that, the call to evict_inodes will evict everything else with a zero refcount. This should speed things up overall, and avoid livelocks in fsnotify_unmount_inodes().

fs: avoid softlockups in s_inodes iterators

2019-12-18T05:03:01+00:00

Anything that walks all inodes on sb->s_inodes list without rescheduling risks softlockups. Previous efforts were made in 2 functions, see: c27d82f fs/drop_caches.c: avoid softlockups in drop_pagecache_sb() ac05fbb inode: don't softlockup when evicting inodes but there hasn't been an audit of all walkers, so do that now. This also consistently moves the cond_resched() calls to the bottom of each loop in cases where it already exists. One loop remains: remove_dquot_ref(), because I'm not quite sure how to deal with that one w/o taking the i_lock. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Pull removal of most of fs/compat_ioctl.c from Arnd Bergmann: "As part of the cleanup of some remaining y2038 issues, I came to fs/compat_ioctl.c, which still has a couple of commands that need support for time64_t. In completely unrelated work, I spent time on cleaning up parts of this file in the past, moving things out into drivers instead. After Al Viro reviewed an earlier version of this series and did a lot more of that cleanup, I decided to try to completely eliminate the rest of it and move it all into drivers. This series incorporates some of Al's work and many patches of my own, but in the end stops short of actually removing the last part, which is the scsi ioctl handlers.

compat_ioctl: move more drivers to compat_ptr_ioctl

2019-10-23T15:23:44+00:00

The .ioctl and .compat_ioctl file operations have the same prototype so they can both point to the same function, which works great almost all the time when all the commands are compatible. One exception is the s390 architecture, where a compat pointer is only 31 bit wide, and converting it into a 64-bit pointer requires calling compat_ptr(). Most drivers here will never run in s390, but since we now have a generic helper for it, it's easy enough to use it consistently. I double-checked all these drivers to ensure that all ioctl arguments are used as pointers or are ignored, but are not interpreted as integer values.

fanotify, inotify, dnotify, security: add security hook for fs notifications

2019-08-12T21:45:39+00:00

As of now, setting watches on filesystem objects has, at most, applied a check for read access to the inode, and in the case of fanotify, requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN. No specific security hook or permission check has been provided to control the setting of watches. Using any of inotify, dnotify, or fanotify, it is possible to observe, not only write-like operations, but even read access to a file. Modeling the watch as being merely a read from the file is insufficient for the needs of SELinux. This is due to the fact that read access should not necessarily imply access to information about when another process reads from a file. Furthermore, fanotify watches grant more power to an application in the form of permission events. While notification events are solely, unidirectional (i.e. they only pass information to the receiving application), permission events are blocking. Permission events make a request to the receiving application which will then reply with a decision as to whether or not that action may be completed. This causes the issue of the watching application having the ability to exercise control over the triggering process. Without drawing a distinction within the permission check, the ability to read would imply the greater ability to control an application. Additionally, mount and superblock watches apply to all files within the same mount or superblock. Read access to one file should not necessarily imply the ability to watch all files accessed within a given mount or superblock. In order to solve these issues, a new LSM hook is implemented and has been placed within the system calls for marking filesystem objects with inotify, fanotify, and dnotify watches. These calls to the hook are placed at the point at which the target path has been resolved and are provided with the path struct, the mask of requested notification events, and the type of object on which the mark is being set (inode, superblock, or mount). The mask and obj_type have already been translated into common FS_* values shared by the entirety of the fs notification infrastructure. The path struct is passed rather than just the inode so that the mount is available, particularly for mount watches. This also allows for use of the hook by pathname-based security modules. However, since the hook is intended for use even by inode based security modules, it is not placed under the CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH conditional. Otherwise, the inode-based security modules would need to enable all of the path hooks, even though they do not use any of them. This only provides a hook at the point of setting a watch, and presumes that permission to set a particular watch implies the ability to receive all notification about that object which match the mask. This is all that is required for SELinux. If other security modules require additional hooks or infrastructure to control delivery of notification, these can be added by them. It does not make sense for us to propose hooks for which we have no implementation. The understanding that all notifications received by the requesting application are all strictly of a type for which the application has been granted permission shows that this implementation is sufficient in its coverage. Security modules wishing to provide complete control over fanotify must also implement a security_file_open hook that validates that the access requested by the watching application is authorized. Fanotify has the issue that it returns a file descriptor with the file mode specified during fanotify_init() to the watching process on event. This is already covered by the LSM security_file_open hook if the security module implements checking of the requested file mode there. Otherwise, a watching process can obtain escalated access to a file for which it has not been authorized. The selinux_path_notify hook implementation works by adding five new file permissions: watch, watch_mount, watch_sb, watch_reads, and watch_with_perm (descriptions about which will follow), and one new filesystem permission: watch (which is applied to superblock checks). The hook then decides which subset of these permissions must be held by the requesting application based on the contents of the provided mask and the obj_type. The selinux_file_open hook already checks the requested file mode and therefore ensures that a watching process cannot escalate its access through fanotify. The watch, watch_mount, and watch_sb permissions are the baseline permissions for setting a watch on an object and each are a requirement for any watch to be set on a file, mount, or superblock respectively. It should be noted that having either of the other two permissions (watch_reads and watch_with_perm) does not imply the watch, watch_mount, or watch_sb permission. Superblock watches further require the filesystem watch permission to the superblock. As there is no labeled object in view for mounts, there is no specific check for mount watches beyond watch_mount to the inode. Such a check could be added in the future, if a suitable labeled object existed representing the mount. The watch_reads permission is required to receive notifications from read-exclusive events on filesystem objects. These events include accessing a file for the purpose of reading and closing a file which has been opened read-only. This distinction has been drawn in order to provide a direct indication in the policy for this otherwise not obvious capability. Read access to a file should not necessarily imply the ability to observe read events on a file. Finally, watch_with_perm only applies to fanotify masks since it is the only way to set a mask which allows for the blocking, permission event. This permission is needed for any watch which is of this type. Though fanotify requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, this is insufficient as it gives implicit trust to root, which we do not do, and does not support least privilege.
