"More shrink_dcache_parent()-related stuff - killing the main source of
potentially contended calls of that on large subtrees"
* 'work.rmdir' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
rmdir(),rename(): do shrink_dcache_parent() only on success
This reverts commit cab64df194.
Having vfs_open() in some cases drop the reference to
struct file combined with
error = vfs_open(path, f, cred);
if (error) {
put_filp(f);
return ERR_PTR(error);
}
return f;
is flat-out wrong. It used to be
error = vfs_open(path, f, cred);
if (!error) {
/* from now on we need fput() to dispose of f */
error = open_check_o_direct(f);
if (error) {
fput(f);
f = ERR_PTR(error);
}
} else {
put_filp(f);
f = ERR_PTR(error);
}
and sure, having that open_check_o_direct() boilerplate gotten rid of is
nice, but not that way...
Worse, another call chain (via finish_open()) is FUBAR now wrt
FILE_OPENED handling - in that case we get error returned, with file
already hit by fput() *AND* FILE_OPENED not set. Guess what happens in
path_openat(), when it hits
if (!(opened & FILE_OPENED)) {
BUG_ON(!error);
put_filp(file);
}
The root cause of all that crap is that the callers of do_dentry_open()
have no way to tell which way did it fail; while that could be fixed up
(by passing something like int *opened to do_dentry_open() and have it
marked if we'd called ->open()), it's probably much too late in the
cycle to do so right now.

Once upon a time ->rmdir() instances used to check if victim inode
had more than one (in-core) reference and failed with -EBUSY if it
had. The reason was race avoidance - emptiness check is worthless
if somebody could just go and create new objects in the victim
directory afterwards.
With introduction of dcache the checks had been replaced with
checking the refcount of dentry. However, since a cached negative
lookup leaves a negative child dentry, such check had lead to false
positives - with empty foo/ doing stat foo/bar before rmdir foo
ended up with -EBUSY unless the negative dentry of foo/bar happened
to be evicted by the time of rmdir(2). That had been fixed by
doing shrink_dcache_parent() just before the refcount check.
At the same time, ext2_rmdir() has grown a private solution that
eliminated those -EBUSY - it did something (setting ->i_size to 0)
which made any subsequent ext2_add_entry() fail.
Unfortunately, even with shrink_dcache_parent() the check had been
racy - after all, the victim itself could be found by dcache lookup
just after we'd checked its refcount. That got fixed by a new
helper (dentry_unhash()) that did shrink_dcache_parent() and unhashed
the sucker if its refcount ended up equal to 1. That got called before
->rmdir(), turning the checks in ->rmdir() instances into "if not
unhashed fail with -EBUSY". Which reduced the boilerplate nicely, but
had an unpleasant side effect - now shrink_dcache_parent() had been
done before the emptiness checks, leading to easily triggerable calls
of shrink_dcache_parent() on arbitrary large subtrees, quite possibly
nested into each other.
Several years later the ext2-private trick had been generalized -
(in-core) inodes of dead directories are flagged and calls of
lookup, readdir and all directory-modifying methods were prevented
in so marked directories. Remaining boilerplate in ->rmdir() instances
became redundant and some instances got rid of it.
In 2011 the call of dentry_unhash() got shifted into ->rmdir() instances
and then killed off in all of them. That has lead to another problem,
though - in case of successful rmdir we *want* any (negative) child
dentries dropped and the victim itself made negative. There's no point
keeping cached negative lookups in foo when we can get the negative
lookup of foo itself cached. So shrink_dcache_parent() call had been
restored; unfortunately, it went into the place where dentry_unhash()
used to be, i.e. before the ->rmdir() call. Note that we don't unhash
anymore, so any "is it busy" checks would be racy; fortunately, all of
them are gone.
We should've done that call right *after* successful ->rmdir(). That
reduces contention caused by tree-walking in shrink_dcache_parent()
and, especially, contention caused by evictions in two nested subtrees
going on in parallel. The same goes for directory-overwriting rename() -
the story there had been parallel to that of rmdir().

Changing the link count of an inode via unlink or link will cause a
write back of that inode. If the uids or gids are invalid (aka not known
to the kernel) writing the inode back may change the uid or gid in the

filesystem maintainers to worry about it don't allow operations on

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.
Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
code.
This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the

I noticed that offsetof(struct filename, iname) is actually 28 on 64
bit platforms, so we always pass an unaligned pointer to
strncpy_from_user. This is mostly a problem for those 64 bit platforms
without HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, but even on x86_64, unaligned
accesses carry a penalty.
A user-space microbenchmark doing nothing but strncpy_from_user from the
same (aligned) source string runs about 5% faster when the destination
is aligned. That number increases to 20% when the string is long
enough (~32 bytes) that we cross a cache line boundary - that's for
example the case for about half the files a "git status" in a kernel
tree ends up stat'ing.
This won't make any real-life workloads 5%, or even 1%, faster, but path
lookup is common enough that cutting even a few cycles should be
worthwhile. So ensure we always pass an aligned destination pointer to
strncpy_from_user. Instead of explicit padding, simply swap the refcnt
and aname members, as suggested by Al Viro.

On nfsv2 and nfsv3 the nfs server can export subsets of the same
filesystem and report the same filesystem identifier, so that the nfs
client can know they are the same filesystem. The subsets can be from
disjoint directory trees. The nfsv2 and nfsv3 filesystems provides no
way to find the common root of all directory trees exported form the
server with the same filesystem identifier.
The practical result is that in struct super s_root for nfs s_root is
not necessarily the root of the filesystem. The nfs mount code sets
s_root to the root of the first subset of the nfs filesystem that the
kernel mounts.
This effects the dcache invalidation code in generic_shutdown_super
currently called shrunk_dcache_for_umount and that code for years
has gone through an additional list of dentries that might be dentry
trees that need to be freed to accomodate nfs.
When I wrote path_connected I did not realize nfs was so special, and
it's hueristic for avoiding calling is_subdir can fail.
The practical case where this fails is when there is a move of a
directory from the subtree exposed by one nfs mount to the subtree
exposed by another nfs mount. This move can happen either locally or
remotely. With the remote case requiring that the move directory be cached
before the move and that after the move someone walks the path
to where the move directory now exists and in so doing causes the
already cached directory to be moved in the dcache through the magic
of d_splice_alias.
If someone whose working directory is in the move directory or a
subdirectory and now starts calling .. from the initial mount of nfs
(where s_root == mnt_root), then path_connected as a heuristic will
not bother with the is_subdir check. As s_root really is not the root
of the nfs filesystem this heuristic is wrong, and the path may
actually not be connected and path_connected can fail.
The is_subdir function might be cheap enough that we can call it
unconditionally. Verifying that will take some benchmarking and
the result may not be the same on all kernels this fix needs
to be backported to. So I am avoiding that for now.
Filesystems with snapshots such as nilfs and btrfs do something
similar. But as the directory tree of the snapshots are disjoint
from one another and from the main directory tree rename won't move
things between them and this problem will not occur.

When vfs_submount was added the test to limit automounts from
filesystems that with s_user_ns != &init_user_ns accidentially left
in follow_automount. The test was never about any security concerns
and was always about how do we implement this for filesystems whose
s_user_ns != &init_user_ns.
At the moment this check makes no difference as there are no
filesystems that both set FS_USERNS_MOUNT and implement d_automount.
Remove this check now while I am thinking about it so there will not
be odd booby traps for someone who does want to make this combination
work.
vfs_submount still needs improvements to allow this combination to work,
and vfs_submount contains a check that presents a warning.
The autofs4 filesystem could be modified to set FS_USERNS_MOUNT and it would
need not work on this code path, as userspace performs the mounts.

to no longer be done and an error returned instead.
This has caused more problems than I expected so reverting the change is
needed.
In a discussion with Neil Brown it was concluded that the automount(8)
daemon can implement this change without kernel modifications. So that
will be done instead and the autofs module documentation updated with a
description of the problem and what needs to be done by module users for
this specific case.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

Pull mount flag updates from Al Viro:

This does *not* convert the filesystems to new constants; only the

* 'work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
VFS: Differentiate mount flags (MS_*) from internal superblock flags
VFS: Convert sb->s_flags & MS_RDONLY to sb_rdonly(sb)
vfs: Add sb_rdonly(sb) to query the MS_RDONLY flag on s_flags
The fstatat(2) and statx() calls can pass the flag AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT which
is meant to clear the LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag and prevent triggering of an
automount by the call. But this flag is unconditionally cleared for all
stat family system calls except statx().
stat family system calls have always triggered mount requests for the
negative dentry case in follow_automount() which is intended but prevents
the fstatat(2) and statx() AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT case from being handled.
In order to handle the AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT for both system calls the negative
dentry case in follow_automount() needs to be changed to return ENOENT
when the LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag is clear (and the other required flags are
clear).
AFAICT this change doesn't have any noticable side effects and may, in
some use cases (although I didn't see it in testing) prevent unnecessary
callbacks to the automount daemon.
It's also possible that a stat family call has been made with a path that
is in the process of being mounted by some other process. But stat family
calls should return the automount state of the path as it is "now" so it
shouldn't wait for mount completion.
This is the same semantic as the positive dentry case already handled.

This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are
structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or
contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists,
workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise
sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's
code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding
of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and
don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling

Normal pathname lookup doesn't allow empty pathnames, but using
AT_EMPTY_PATH (with name_to_handle_at() or fstatat(), for example) you
can trigger an empty pathname lookup.
And not only is the RCU lookup in that case entirely unnecessary
(because we'll obviously immediately finalize the end result), it is
actively wrong.
Why? An empth path is a special case that will return the original
'dirfd' dentry - and that dentry may not actually be RCU-free'd,
resulting in a potential use-after-free if we were to initialize the
path lazily under the RCU read lock and depend on complete_walk()
finalizing the dentry.

To support unprivileged users mounting filesystems two permission
checks have to be performed: a test to see if the user allowed to
create a mount in the mount namespace, and a test to see if
the user is allowed to access the specified filesystem.
The automount case is special in that mounting the original filesystem
grants permission to mount the sub-filesystems, to any user who
happens to stumble across the their mountpoint and satisfies the
ordinary filesystem permission checks.
Attempting to handle the automount case by using override_creds
almost works. It preserves the idea that permission to mount
the original filesystem is permission to mount the sub-filesystem.
Unfortunately using override_creds messes up the filesystems
ordinary permission checks.
Solve this by being explicit that a mount is a submount by introducing
vfs_submount, and using it where appropriate.
vfs_submount uses a new mount internal mount flags MS_SUBMOUNT, to let
sget and friends know that a mount is a submount so they can take appropriate
action.
sget and sget_userns are modified to not perform any permission checks
on submounts.
follow_automount is modified to stop using override_creds as that
has proven problemantic.
do_mount is modified to always remove the new MS_SUBMOUNT flag so
that we know userspace will never by able to specify it.
autofs4 is modified to stop using current_real_cred that was put in
there to handle the previous version of submount permission checking.
cifs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to vfs_submount.
debugfs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to
trace_automount by adding a new parameter. To make this change easier
a new typedef debugfs_automount_t is introduced to capture the type of
the debugfs automount function.

On overlayfs relatime_need_update() needs inode times to be correct on
overlay inode. But i_mtime and i_ctime are updated by filesystem code on
underlying inode only, so they will be out-of-date on the overlay inode.
This patch copies the times from the underlying inode if needed. This
can't be done if called from RCU lookup (link following) but link m/ctime
are not updated by fs, so this is all right.

Pull userns vfs updates from Eric Biederman:
"This tree contains some very long awaited work on generalizing the
user namespace support for mounting filesystems to include filesystems
with a backing store. The real world target is fuse but the goal is
to update the vfs to allow any filesystem to be supported. This
patchset is based on a lot of code review and testing to approach that
goal.
While looking at what is needed to support the fuse filesystem it
became clear that there were things like xattrs for security modules
that needed special treatment. That the resolution of those concerns
would not be fuse specific. That sorting out these general issues
made most sense at the generic level, where the right people could be
drawn into the conversation, and the issues could be solved for
everyone.
At a high level what this patchset does a couple of simple things:
- Add a user namespace owner (s_user_ns) to struct super_block.
- Teach the vfs to handle filesystem uids and gids not mapping into
to kuids and kgids and being reported as INVALID_UID and
INVALID_GID in vfs data structures.
By assigning a user namespace owner filesystems that are mounted with
only user namespace privilege can be detected. This allows security
modules and the like to know which mounts may not be trusted. This
also allows the set of uids and gids that are communicated to the
filesystem to be capped at the set of kuids and kgids that are in the
owning user namespace of the filesystem.
One of the crazier corner casees this handles is the case of inodes
whose i_uid or i_gid are not mapped into the vfs. Most of the code
simply doesn't care but it is easy to confuse the inode writeback path
so no operation that could cause an inode write-back is permitted for
such inodes (aka only reads are allowed).
This set of changes starts out by cleaning up the code paths involved
in user namespace permirted mounts. Then when things are clean enough
adds code that cleanly sets s_user_ns. Then additional restrictions
are added that are possible now that the filesystem superblock
contains owner information.
These changes should not affect anyone in practice, but there are some
parts of these restrictions that are changes in behavior.
- Andy's restriction on suid executables that does not honor the
suid bit when the path is from another mount namespace (think
/proc/[pid]/fd/) or when the filesystem was mounted by a less
privileged user.
- The replacement of the user namespace implicit setting of MNT_NODEV
with implicitly setting SB_I_NODEV on the filesystem superblock
instead.
Using SB_I_NODEV is a stronger form that happens to make this state
user invisible. The user visibility can be managed but it caused
problems when it was introduced from applications reasonably
expecting mount flags to be what they were set to.
There is a little bit of work remaining before it is safe to support
mounting filesystems with backing store in user namespaces, beyond
what is in this set of changes.
- Verifying the mounter has permission to read/write the block device
during mount.
- Teaching the integrity modules IMA and EVM to handle filesystems
mounted with only user namespace root and to reduce trust in their
security xattrs accordingly.
- Capturing the mounters credentials and using that for permission
checks in d_automount and the like. (Given that overlayfs already
does this, and we need the work in d_automount it make sense to
generalize this case).
Furthermore there are a few changes that are on the wishlist:
- Get all filesystems supporting posix acls using the generic posix
acls so that posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user and
posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user may be removed. [Maintainability]
- Reducing the permission checks in places such as remount to allow
the superblock owner to perform them.
- Allowing the superblock owner to chown files with unmapped uids and
gids to something that is mapped so the files may be treated
normally.
I am not considering even obvious relaxations of permission checks
until it is clear there are no more corner cases that need to be
locked down and handled generically.
Many thanks to Seth Forshee who kept this code alive, and putting up
with me rewriting substantial portions of what he did to handle more
corner cases, and for his diligent testing and reviewing of my
changes"

This reverts commit 3c9fe8cdff.
As Miklos points out in commit c1b2cc1a76, the "lookup_hash()" helper
is now unused, and in fact, with the hash salting changes, since the
hash of a dentry name now depends on the directory dentry it is in, the
helper function isn't even really likely to be useful.
So rather than keep it around in case somebody else might end up finding
a use for it, let's just remove the helper and not trick people into
thinking it might be a useful thing.
For example, I had obviously completely missed how the helper didn't
follow the normal dentry hashing patterns, and how the hash salting
patch broke overlayfs. Things would quietly build and look sane, but
not work.

Seth Forshee reported a mount regression in nfs autmounts
with "fs: Add user namespace member to struct super_block".
It turns out that the assumption that current->cred is something
reasonable during mount while necessary to improve support of
unprivileged mounts is wrong in the automount path.
To fix the existing filesystems override current->cred with the
init_cred before calling d_automount and restore current->cred after
d_automount completes.
To support unprivileged mounts would require a more nuanced cred
selection, so fail on unprivileged mounts for the time being. As none
of the filesystems that currently set FS_USERNS_MOUNT implement
d_automount this check is only good for preventing future problems.
