* fanotify: fix -EOVERFLOW with large files on 64-bitWill Woods2014-05-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 64-bit systems, O_LARGEFILE is automatically added to flags inside the open() syscall (also openat(), blkdev_open(), etc). Userspace therefore defines O_LARGEFILE to be 0 - you can use it, but it's a no-op. Everything should be O_LARGEFILE by default. But: when fanotify does create_fd() it uses dentry_open(), which skips all that. And userspace can't set O_LARGEFILE in fanotify_init() because it's defined to 0. So if fanotify gets an event regarding a large file, the read() will just fail with -EOVERFLOW. This patch adds O_LARGEFILE to fanotify_init()'s event_f_flags on 64-bit systems, using the same test as open()/openat()/etc. Addresses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696821 Signed-off-by: Will Woods <wwoods@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* fanotify: move unrelated handling from copy_event_to_user()Jan Kara2014-04-031-21/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move code moving event structure to access_list from copy_event_to_user() to fanotify_read() where it is more logical (so that we can immediately see in the main loop that we either move the event to a different list or free it). Also move special error handling for permission events from copy_event_to_user() to the main loop to have it in one place with error handling for normal events. This makes copy_event_to_user() really only copy the event to user without any side effects.

* fanotify: reorganize loop in fanotify_read()Jan Kara2014-04-031-22/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Swap the error / "read ok" branches in the main loop of fanotify_read(). We will grow the "read ok" part in the next patch and this makes the indentation easier. Also it is more common to have error conditions inside an 'if' instead of the fast path.

* fanotify: use fanotify event structure for permission response processingJan Kara2014-04-033-104/+116
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, fanotify creates new structure to track the fact that permission event has been reported to userspace and someone is waiting for a response to it. As event structures are now completely in the hands of each notification framework, we can use the event structure for this tracking instead of allocating a new structure. Since this makes the event structures for normal events and permission events even more different and the structures have different lifetime rules, we split them into two separate structures (where permission event structure contains the structure for a normal event). This makes normal events 8 bytes smaller and the code a tad bit cleaner.

* fanotify: remove useless bypass_perm checkJan Kara2014-04-031-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The prepare_for_access_response() function checks whether group->fanotify_data.bypass_perm is set. However this test can never be true because prepare_for_access_response() is called only from fanotify_read() which means fanotify group is alive with an active fd while bypass_perm is set from fanotify_release() when all file descriptors pointing to the group are closed and the group is going away.

* fsnotify: Allocate overflow events with proper typeJan Kara2014-02-251-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 7053aee26a35 "fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups" used overflow event statically allocated in a group with the size of the generic notification event. This causes problems because some code looks at type specific parts of event structure and gets confused by a random data it sees there and causes crashes. Fix the problem by allocating overflow event with type corresponding to the group type so code cannot get confused. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
* fanotify: Handle overflow in case of permission eventsJan Kara2014-02-251-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | If the event queue overflows when we are handling permission event, we will never get response from userspace. So we must avoid waiting for it. Change fsnotify_add_notify_event() to return whether overflow has happened so that we can detect it in fanotify_handle_event() and act accordingly. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
* inotify: Fix reporting of cookies for inotify eventsJan Kara2014-02-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee26a35 "fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups") broke sending of cookies with inotify events. We didn't propagate the value passed to fsnotify() properly and passed 4 uninitialized bytes to userspace instead (so it is also an information leak). Sadly I didn't notice this during my testing because inotify cookies aren't used very much and LTP inotify tests ignore them. Fix the problem by passing the cookie value properly.

* fanotify: Fix use after free for permission eventsJan Kara2014-01-293-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently struct fanotify_event_info has been destroyed immediately after reporting its contents to userspace. However that is wrong for permission events because those need to stay around until userspace provides response which is filled back in fanotify_event_info. So change to code to free permission events only after we have got the response from userspace.

* fanotify: Fix use after free in mask checkingJan Kara2014-01-291-10/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We cannot use the event structure returned from fsnotify_add_notify_event() because that event can be freed by the time that function returns. Use the mask argument passed into the event handler directly instead. This also fixes a possible problem when we could unnecessarily wait for permission response for a normal fanotify event which got merged with a permission event. We also disallow merging of permission event with any other event so that we know the permission event which we just created is the one on which we should wait for permission response.

* fsnotify: do not share events between notification groupsJan Kara2014-01-213-128/+147
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently fsnotify framework creates one event structure for each notification event and links this event into all interested notification groups. This is done so that we save memory when several notification groups are interested in the event. However the need for event structure shared between inotify & fanotify bloats the event structure so the result is often higher memory consumption. Another problem is that fsnotify framework keeps path references with outstanding events so that fanotify can return open file descriptors with its events. This has the undesirable effect that filesystem cannot be unmounted while there are outstanding events - a regression for inotify compared to a situation before it was converted to fsnotify framework. For fanotify this problem is hard to avoid and users of fanotify should kind of expect this behavior when they ask for file descriptors from notified files. This patch changes fsnotify and its users to create separate event structure for each group. This allows for much simpler code (~400 lines removed by this patch) and also smaller event structures. For example on 64-bit system original struct fsnotify_event consumes 120 bytes, plus additional space for file name, additional 24 bytes for second and each subsequent group linking the event, and additional 32 bytes for each inotify group for private data. After the conversion inotify event consumes 48 bytes plus space for file name which is considerably less memory unless file names are long and there are several groups interested in the events (both of which are uncommon). Fanotify event fits in 56 bytes after the conversion (fanotify doesn't care about file names so its events don't have to have it allocated). A win unless there are four or more fanotify groups interested in the event. The conversion also solves the problem with unmount when only inotify is used as we don't have to grab path references for inotify events.

* fanotify: fix races when adding/removing marksLino Sanfilippo2013-07-091-12/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For both adding an event to an existing mark and destroying a mark we first have to find it via fsnotify_find_[inode|vfsmount]_mark(). But getting the mark and adding an event (or destroying it) is not done atomically. This opens a race where a thread is about to destroy a mark while another thread still finds the same mark and adds an event to its mask although it will be destroyed. Another race exists concerning the excess of a groups number of marks limit: When a mark is added the number of group marks is checked against the max number of marks per group and increased afterwards. Since check and increment is also not done atomically, this may result in 2 or more processes passing the check at the same time and increasing the number of group marks above the allowed limit. With this patch both races are avoided by doing the concerning operations with the groups mark mutex locked.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Boyd Yang reported a problem for the case that multiple threads of the same thread group are waiting for a reponse for a permission event. In this case it is possible that some of the threads are never woken up, even if the response for the event has been received (see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131822913806350&w=2). The reason is that we are currently merging permission events if they belong to the same thread group. But we are not prepared to wake up more than one waiter for each event. We do wait_event(group->fanotify_data.access_waitq, event->response || atomic_read(&group->fanotify_data.bypass_perm)); and after that event->response = 0; which is the reason that even if we woke up all waiters for the same event some of them may see event->response being already set 0 again, then go back to sleep and block forever. With this patch we avoid that more than one thread is waiting for a response by not merging permission events for the same thread group any more.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the FAN_Q_OVERFLOW bit set in event->mask, the fanotify event metadata will not contain a valid file descriptor, but copy_event_to_user() didn't check for that, and unconditionally does a fd_install() on the file descriptor. Which in turn will cause a BUG_ON() in __fd_install().

| * fanotify: on group destroy allow all waiters to bypass permission checkLino Sanfilippo2010-12-072-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When fanotify_release() is called, there may still be processes waiting for access permission. Currently only processes for which an event has already been queued into the groups access list will be woken up. Processes for which no event has been queued will continue to sleep and thus cause a deadlock when fsnotify_put_group() is called. Furthermore there is a race allowing further processes to be waiting on the access wait queue after wake_up (if they arrive before clear_marks_by_group() is called). This patch corrects this by setting a flag to inform processes that the group is about to be destroyed and thus not to wait for access permission. [additional changelog from eparis] Lets think about the 4 relevant code paths from the PoV of the 'operator' 'listener' 'responder' and 'closer'. Where operator is the process doing an action (like open/read) which could require permission. Listener is the task (or in this case thread) slated with reading from the fanotify file descriptor. The 'responder' is the thread responsible for responding to access requests. 'Closer' is the thread attempting to close the fanotify file descriptor. The 'operator' is going to end up in: fanotify_handle_event() get_response_from_access() (THIS BLOCKS WAITING ON USERSPACE) The 'listener' interesting code path fanotify_read() copy_event_to_user() prepare_for_access_response() (THIS CREATES AN fanotify_response_event) The 'responder' code path: fanotify_write() process_access_response() (REMOVE A fanotify_response_event, SET RESPONSE, WAKE UP 'operator') The 'closer': fanotify_release() (SUPPOSED TO CLEAN UP THE REST OF THIS MESS) What we have today is that in the closer we remove all of the fanotify_response_events and set a bit so no more response events are ever created in prepare_for_access_response(). The bug is that we never wake all of the operators up and tell them to move along. You fix that in fanotify_get_response_from_access(). You also fix other operators which haven't gotten there yet. So I agree that's a good fix.

| * fanotify: Dont allow a mask of 0 if setting or removing a markLino Sanfilippo2010-12-071-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In mark_remove_from_mask() we destroy marks that have their event mask cleared. Thus we should not allow the creation of those marks in the first place. With this patch we check if the mask given from user is 0 in case of FAN_MARK_ADD. If so we return an error. Same for FAN_MARK_REMOVE since this does not have any effect.

| * fanotify: correct broken ref counting in case adding a mark failedLino Sanfilippo2010-12-071-17/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If adding a mount or inode mark failed fanotify_free_mark() is called explicitly. But at this time the mark has already been put into the destroy list of the fsnotify_mark kernel thread. If the thread is too slow it will try to decrease the reference of a mark, that has already been freed by fanotify_free_mark(). (If its fast enough it will only decrease the marks ref counter from 2 to 1 - note that the counter has been increased to 2 in add_mark() - which has practically no effect.) This patch fixes the ref counting by not calling free_mark() explicitly, but decreasing the ref counter and rely on the fsnotify_mark thread to cleanup in case adding the mark has failed.
