Merge tag 'idmapped-mounts-v5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some
time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or
directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes
with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more
filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and
maintainers.
Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here
are just a few:
- Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between
multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex
scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the
implementation of portable home directories in
systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home
directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple
computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This
effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at
login time.
- It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged
containers without having to change ownership permanently through
chown(2).
- It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to
mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the
user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their
Linux subsystem.
- It is possible to share files between containers with
non-overlapping idmappings.
- Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can
use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC)
permission checking.
- They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount
basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In
contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is
instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when
ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or
container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall
mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of
all files.
- Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as
idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped
to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself
take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It
simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is
especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of
files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home
directory and container and vm scenario.
- Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it
to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only
apply as long as the mount exists.
Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and
pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull
this:
- systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away
in their implementation of portable home directories.
https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/
- container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between
host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged
containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in
containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite
a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734
- The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest
in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is
ported.
- ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers.
I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed
here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the
mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of
talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones:
https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdfhttps://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/
This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and
xfs:
https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts
It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid
execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and
non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs
setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will
be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to
merge this.
In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with
user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to
map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace.
The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not
idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the
testsuite.
Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users
to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
currently marked with.
The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by
passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an
argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new
MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern
of extensibility.
The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped
mount:
- The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the
user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in.
- The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts.
- The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the
idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped.
- The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have
been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag
and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem.
The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the
kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler.
By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no
behavioral or performance changes are observed.
The manpage with a detailed description can be found here:
1d7b902e28
In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed
and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The
patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or
complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and
xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and
will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify
that port has been done correctly.
The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped
mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most
valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform
mounts based on file descriptors only.
Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2()
RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time
we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and
path resolution.
While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount
proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not
possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in
the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing.
With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last
restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api,
covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the
crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount
tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This
syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and
projects.
There is a simple tool available at
https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped
that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this
patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you
decide to pull this in the following weeks:
Here's an example to a simple idmapped mount of another user's home

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.
As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

The posix acl permission checking helpers determine whether a caller is
privileged over an inode according to the acls associated with the
inode. Add helpers that make it possible to handle acls on idmapped
mounts.
The vfs and the filesystems targeted by this first iteration make use of
posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user() and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() to
translate basic posix access and default permissions such as the
ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP type according to the initial user namespace (or
the superblock's user namespace) to and from the caller's current user
namespace. Adapt these two helpers to handle idmapped mounts whereby we
either map from or into the mount's user namespace depending on in which
direction we're translating.
Similarly, cap_convert_nscap() is used by the vfs to translate user
namespace and non-user namespace aware filesystem capabilities from the
superblock's user namespace to the caller's user namespace. Enable it to
handle idmapped mounts by accounting for the mount's user namespace.
In addition the fileystems targeted in the first iteration of this patch
series make use of the posix_acl_chmod() and, posix_acl_update_mode()
helpers. Both helpers perform permission checks on the target inode. Let
them handle idmapped mounts. These two helpers are called when posix
acls are set by the respective filesystems to handle this case we extend
the ->set() method to take an additional user namespace argument to pass
the mount's user namespace down.

When file attributes are changed most filesystems rely on the

initialization and permission checking. Let them handle idmapped mounts.
If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the
mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to
non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing
changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.
Helpers that perform checks on the ia_uid and ia_gid fields in struct
iattr assume that ia_uid and ia_gid are intended values and have already
been mapped correctly at the userspace-kernelspace boundary as we
already do today. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing

Al Viro pointed out that I broke some acl functionality...
* ACLs could not be fully removed
* posix_acl_chmod would be called while the old ACL was still cached
* new mode propagated to orangefs server before ACL.
... when I tried to make sure that modes that got changed as a
result of ACL-sets would be sent back to the orangefs server.
Not wanting to try and change the code without having some cases to
test it with, I began to hunt for setfacl examples that were expressible
in pure mode. Along the way I found examples like the following
which confused me:
user A had a file (/home/A/asdf) with mode 740
user B was in user A's group
user C was not in user A's group
setfacl -m u:C:rwx /home/A/asdf
The above setfacl caused ls -l /home/A/asdf to show a mode of 770,
making it appear that all users in user A's group now had full access
to /home/A/asdf, however, user B still only had read acces. Madness.
Anywho, I finally found that the above (whacky as it is) appears to
be "posixly on purpose" and explained in acl(5):
If the ACL has an ACL_MASK entry, the group permissions correspond
to the permissions of the ACL_MASK entry.

out that sending Christoph's patch followed by my patch upstream, it
would break bisection because of the failure to compile. So I have
combined the reversion plus my patch... here's the commit message
that was in my patch:
Logically, optimal Orangefs "pages" are 4 megabytes. Reading
large Orangefs files 4096 bytes at a time is like trying to
kick a dead whale down the beach. Before Christoph's "Revert
orangefs: remember count when reading." I tried to give users
a knob whereby they could, for example, use "count" in
read(2) or bs with dd(1) to get whatever they considered an
appropriate amount of bytes at a time from Orangefs and fill
as many page cache pages as they could at once.
Without the racy code that Christoph reverted Orangefs won't
even compile, much less work. So this replaces the logic that
used the private file data that Christoph reverted with
a static number of bytes to read from Orangefs.
I ran tests like the following to determine what a
reasonable static number of bytes might be:
dd if=/pvfsmnt/asdf of=/dev/null count=128 bs=4194304
dd if=/pvfsmnt/asdf of=/dev/null count=256 bs=2097152
dd if=/pvfsmnt/asdf of=/dev/null count=512 bs=1048576
.
.
.
dd if=/pvfsmnt/asdf of=/dev/null count=4194304 bs=128
Reads seem faster using the static number, so my "knob code"
wasn't just racy, it wasn't even a good idea...

Orangefs has no open, and orangefs checks file permissions
on each file access. Posix requires that file permissions
be checked on open and nowhere else. Orangefs-through-the-kernel
needs to seem posix compliant.
The VFS opens files, even if the filesystem provides no
method. We can see if a file was successfully opened for
read and or for write by looking at file->f_mode.
When writes are flowing from the page cache, file is no
longer available. We can trust the VFS to have checked
file->f_mode before writing to the page cache.
The mode of a file might change between when it is opened
and IO commences, or it might be created with an arbitrary mode.
We'll make sure we don't hit EACCES during the IO stage by
using UID 0. Some of the time we have access without changing
to UID 0 - how to check?

fix: way back in the stone age (2003) mode was set to the magic

something like "S_IRWXU | S_IRGRP | S_IXGRP | S_IROTH | S_IXOTH"...

To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the
singular write parameter to be gup_flags.
This patch does not change any functionality. New functionality will
follow in subsequent patches.
Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they
already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter.
NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast()
arguments to ensure that callers were converted. This breaks the current
GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final
parameter. So the suggestion was rejected.

->readpage looks in file->private_data to try and find out how the
userspace program set "count" in read(2) or with "dd bs=" or whatever.
->readpage uses "count" and inode->i_size to calculate how much
data Orangefs should deposit in the Orangefs shared buffer, and
remembers which slot the data is in.
After copying data from the Orangefs shared buffer slot into
"the page", readpage tries to increment through the pagecache index
and fill as many pages as it can from the extra data in the shared
buffer. Hopefully these extra pages will soon be needed by the vfs,
and they'll be in the pagecache already.

Orangefs wins when it can do IO on large (up to four meg) blocks at a time,
and looses when it has to do tiny "small io" reads and writes. Accessing
Orangefs through the pagecache with the kernel module helps with small io,
both reading and writing, a great deal. Readpage generally tries to fetch a
page (four k) at a time. We'll let users use "count" (as in read(2) or
pread(2) for example) as a knob to control how much data they get from
Orangefs at a time and we'll try to use the data to fill extra
pagecache pages when we get to ->readpage, hopefully resulting in
fewer calls to readpage and Orangefs userspace.
We need a way to remember how they set count so that we can still have
it available when we get to ->readpage.
- We'll use file->private_data to keep track of "count".
We'll wrap generic_file_open with orangefs_file_open and
initialize private_data to NULL there.
- In ->read_iter we have access to both "count" and file, so
we'll kmalloc some space onto file->private_data and store
"count" there.
- We'll kfree file->private_data each time we visit ->flush and
reinitialize it to NULL.
