| * mm, fs: introduce mapping_gfp_constraint()Michal Hocko2015-11-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are many places which use mapping_gfp_mask to restrict a more generic gfp mask which would be used for allocations which are not directly related to the page cache but they are performed in the same context. Let's introduce a helper function which makes the restriction explicit and easier to track. This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

There has been a lot of other work this period but it is not quite ready yet, so I am pushing it until 4.5. The remaining change by Dirk Steinmetz wich fixes both Gentoo and Ubuntu containers allows hardlinks if we have the appropriate capabilities in the user namespace.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attempting to hardlink to an unsafe file (e.g. a setuid binary) from within an unprivileged user namespace fails, even if CAP_FOWNER is held within the namespace. This may cause various failures, such as a gentoo installation within a lxc container failing to build and install specific packages. This change permits hardlinking of files owned by mapped uids, if CAP_FOWNER is held for that namespace. Furthermore, it improves consistency by using the existing inode_owner_or_capable(), which is aware of namespaced capabilities as of 23adbe12ef7d3 ("fs,userns: Change inode_capable to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid"). Signed-off-by: Dirk Steinmetz <public@rsjtdrjgfuzkfg.com> This is hitting us in Ubuntu during some dpkg upgrades in containers. When upgrading a file dpkg creates a hard link to the old file to back it up before overwriting it. When packages upgrade suid files owned by a non-root user the link isn't permitted, and the package upgrade fails. This patch fixes our problem.

We used to treat d_is_negative() after lookup_fast() as "fall with ENOENT". That was wrong - checking ->d_flags outside of ->d_seq protection is unreliable and failing with hard error on what should've fallen back to non-RCU pathname resolution is a bug. Unfortunately, we'd pulled the test too far up and ran afoul of another kind of staleness. The dentry might have been absolutely stable from the RCU point of view (and we might be on UP, etc), but stale from the remote fs point of view. If ->d_revalidate() returns "it's actually stale", dentry gets thrown away and the original code wouldn't even have looked at its ->d_flags. What we need is to check ->d_flags where 766c4cbfacd8 does (prior to ->d_seq validation) but only use the result in cases where we do not discard this dentry outright" Reported-by: Leandro Awa <lawa@nvidia.com> Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104911 Fixes: 766c4cbfacd8 ("namei: d_is_negative() should be checked...")

* | vfs: Test for and handle paths that are unreachable from their mnt_rootEric W. Biederman2015-08-211-2/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In rare cases a directory can be renamed out from under a bind mount. In those cases without special handling it becomes possible to walk up the directory tree to the root dentry of the filesystem and down from the root dentry to every other file or directory on the filesystem. Like division by zero .. from an unconnected path can not be given a useful semantic as there is no predicting at which path component the code will realize it is unconnected. We certainly can not match the current behavior as the current behavior is a security hole. Therefore when encounting .. when following an unconnected path return -ENOENT. - Add a function path_connected to verify path->dentry is reachable from path->mnt.mnt_root. AKA to validate that rename did not do something nasty to the bind mount. To avoid races path_connected must be called after following a path component to it's next path component.

* | may_follow_link() should use nd->inodeAl Viro2015-08-041-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | Now that we can get there in RCU mode, we shouldn't play with nd->path.dentry->d_inode - it's not guaranteed to be stable. Use nd->inode instead. Reported-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* link_path_walk(): be careful when failing with ENOTDIRAl Viro2015-08-011-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In RCU mode we might end up with dentry evicted just we check that it's a directory. In such case we should return ECHILD rather than ENOTDIR, so that pathwalk would be retries in non-RCU mode. Breakage had been introduced in commit b18825a - prior to that we were looking at nd->inode, which had been fetched before verifying that ->d_seq was still valid. That form of check would only be satisfied if at some point the pathname prefix would indeed have resolved to a non-directory. The fix consists of checking ->d_seq after we'd run into a non-directory dentry, and failing with ECHILD in case of mismatch. Note that all branches since 3.12 have that problem...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Otherwise we are risking a hard error where nonlazy restart would be the right thing to do; it's a very narrow race with mount --move and most of the time it ends up being completely harmless, but it's possible to construct a case when we'll get a bogus hard error instead of falling back to non-lazy walk... For one thing, when crossing _into_ overmount of parent we need to check for mount_lock bumps when we get NULL from __lookup_mnt() as well. For another, and less exotically, we need to make sure that the data fetched in follow_up_rcu() had been consistent. ->mnt_mountpoint is pinned for as long as it is a mountpoint, but we need to check mount_lock after fetching to verify that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | touch_atime is not RCU-safe, and so cannot be called on an RCU walk. However, in situations where RCU-walk makes a difference, the symlink will likely to accessed much more often than it is useful to update the atime. So split out the test of "Does the atime actually need to be updated" into atime_needs_update(), and have get_link() unlazy if it finds that it will need to do that update.

* namei: make unlazy_walk and terminate_walk handle nd->stack, add unlazy_linkAl Viro2015-05-151-38/+100
| | | | | | | | | | | | We are almost done - primitives for leaving RCU mode are aware of nd->stack now, a new primitive for going to non-RCU mode when we have a symlink on hands added. The thing we are heavily relying upon is that *any* unlazy failure will be shortly followed by terminate_walk(), with no access to nameidata in between. So it's enough to leave the things in a state terminate_walk() would cope with. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We *can't* call that audit garbage in RCU mode - it's doing a weird mix of allocations (GFP_NOFS, immediately followed by GFP_KERNEL) and I'm not touching that... thing again. So if this security sclero^Whardening feature gets triggered when we are in RCU mode, tough - we'll fail with -ECHILD and have everything restarted in non-RCU mode.

* security: make inode_follow_link RCU-walk awareNeilBrown2015-05-111-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | inode_follow_link now takes an inode and rcu flag as well as the dentry. inode is used in preference to d_backing_inode(dentry), particularly in RCU-walk mode. selinux_inode_follow_link() gets dentry_has_perm() and inode_has_perm() open-coded into it so that it can call avc_has_perm_flags() in way that is safe if LOOKUP_RCU is set. Calling avc_has_perm_flags() with rcu_read_lock() held means that when avc_has_perm_noaudit calls avc_compute_av(), the attempt to rcu_read_unlock() before calling security_compute_av() will not actually drop the RCU read-lock. However as security_compute_av() is completely in a read_lock()ed region, it should be safe with the RCU read-lock held.
