Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Promote IMA/EVM to a proper LSM
This is the bulk of the diffstat, and the source of all the changes
in the VFS code. Prior to the start of the LSM stacking work it was
important that IMA/EVM were separate from the rest of the LSMs,
complete with their own hooks, infrastructure, etc. as it was the
only way to enable IMA/EVM at the same time as a LSM.
However, now that the bulk of the LSM infrastructure supports
multiple simultaneous LSMs, we can simplify things greatly by
bringing IMA/EVM into the LSM infrastructure as proper LSMs. This is
something I've wanted to see happen for quite some time and Roberto
was kind enough to put in the work to make it happen.
- Use the LSM hook default values to simplify the call_int_hook() macro
Previously the call_int_hook() macro required callers to supply a
default return value, despite a default value being specified when
the LSM hook was defined.
This simplifies the macro by using the defined default return value
which makes life easier for callers and should also reduce the number
of return value bugs in the future (we've had a few pop up recently,
hence this work).
- Use the KMEM_CACHE() macro instead of kmem_cache_create()
The guidance appears to be to use the KMEM_CACHE() macro when
possible and there is no reason why we can't use the macro, so let's
use it.
- Fix a number of comment typos in the LSM hook comment blocks
Not much to say here, we fixed some questionable grammar decisions in
the LSM hook comment blocks.

Move hardcoded IMA function calls (not appraisal-specific functions) from
various places in the kernel to the LSM infrastructure, by introducing a
new LSM named 'ima' (at the end of the LSM list and always enabled like
'integrity').
Having IMA before EVM in the Makefile is sufficient to preserve the
relative order of the new 'ima' LSM in respect to the upcoming 'evm' LSM,
and thus the order of IMA and EVM function calls as when they were
hardcoded.
Make moved functions as static (except ima_post_key_create_or_update(),
which is not in ima_main.c), and register them as implementation of the
respective hooks in the new function init_ima_lsm().
Select CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH, to ensure that the path-based LSM hook
path_post_mknod is always available and ima_post_path_mknod() is always
executed to mark files as new, as before the move.
A slight difference is that IMA and EVM functions registered for the
inode_post_setattr, inode_post_removexattr, path_post_mknod,
inode_post_create_tmpfile, inode_post_set_acl and inode_post_remove_acl
won't be executed for private inodes. Since those inodes are supposed to be
fs-internal, they should not be of interest to IMA or EVM. The S_PRIVATE
flag is used for anonymous inodes, hugetlbfs, reiserfs xattrs, XFS scrub
and kernel-internal tmpfs files.
Conditionally register ima_post_key_create_or_update() if
CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS is enabled. Also, conditionally register
ima_kernel_module_request() if CONFIG_INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS is enabled.
Finally, add the LSM_ID_IMA case in lsm_list_modules_test.c.

Pull vfs rw updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains updates from Amir for read-write backing file helpers
for stacking filesystems such as overlayfs:
- Fanotify is currently in the process of introducing pre content
events. Roughly, a new permission event will be added indicating
that it is safe to write to the file being accessed. These events
are used by hierarchical storage managers to e.g., fill the content
of files on first access.
During that work we noticed that our current permission checking is
inconsistent in rw_verify_area() and remap_verify_area().
Especially in the splice code permission checking is done multiple
times. For example, one time for the whole range and then again for
partial ranges inside the iterator.
In addition, we mostly do permission checking before we call
file_start_write() except for a few places where we call it after.
For pre-content events we need such permission checking to be done
before file_start_write(). So this is a nice reason to clean this
all up.
After this series, all permission checking is done before
file_start_write().
As part of this cleanup we also massaged the splice code a bit. We
got rid of a few helpers because we are alredy drowning in special
read-write helpers. We also cleaned up the return types for splice
helpers.
- Introduce generic read-write helpers for backing files. This lifts
some overlayfs code to common code so it can be used by the FUSE
passthrough work coming in over the next cycles. Make Amir and
Miklos the maintainers for this new subsystem of the vfs"

A backing file struct stores two path's, one "real" path that is referring
to f_inode and one "fake" path, which should be displayed to users in
/proc/<pid>/maps.
There is a lot more potential code that needs to know the "real" path, then
code that needs to know the "fake" path.
Instead of code having to request the "real" path with file_real_path(),
store the "real" path in f_path and require code that needs to know the
"fake" path request it with file_user_path().
Replace the file_real_path() helper with a simple const accessor f_path().
After this change, file_dentry() is not expected to observe any files
with overlayfs f_path and real f_inode, so the call to ->d_real() should
not be needed. Leave the ->d_real() call for now and add an assertion
in ovl_d_real() to catch if we made wrong assumptions.

A writeable mapped backing file can perform writes to the real inode.
Therefore, the real path mount must be kept writable so long as the

This may not be strictly needed for ovelrayfs private upper mount,

Pull fchmodat2 system call from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the fchmodat2() system call. It is a revised version of the
fchmodat() system call, adding a missing flag argument. Support for
both AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW and AT_EMPTY_PATH are included.
Adding this system call revision has been a longstanding request but
so far has always fallen through the cracks. While the kernel
implementation of fchmodat() does not have a flag argument the libc
provided POSIX-compliant fchmodat(3) version does. Both glibc and musl
have to implement a workaround in order to support AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
(see [1] and [2]).
The workaround is brittle because it relies not just on O_PATH and
O_NOFOLLOW semantics and procfs magic links but also on our rather
inconsistent symlink semantics.
This gives userspace a proper fchmodat2() system call that libcs can
use to properly implement fchmodat(3) and allows them to get rid of
their hacks. In this case it will immediately benefit them as the
current workaround is already defunct because of aformentioned
inconsistencies.
In addition to AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, give userspace the ability to use
AT_EMPTY_PATH with fchmodat2(). This is already possible with
fchownat() so there's no reason to not also support it for
fchmodat2().
The implementation is simple and comes with selftests. Implementation
of the system call and wiring up the system call are done as separate
patches even though they could arguably be one patch. But in case
there are merge conflicts from other system call additions it can be
beneficial to have separate patches"

- Report file modifications via fsnotify() for splice
- Allow specifying an explicit timeout for the "rootwait" kernel
command line option. This allows to timeout and reboot instead of
always waiting indefinitely for the root device to show up
- Use synchronous fput for the close system call
Cleanups:
- Get rid of open-coded lockdep workarounds for async io submitters
and replace it all with a single consolidated helper
- Simplify epoll allocation helper
- Convert simple_write_begin and simple_write_end to use a folio
- Convert page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm() to use a folio
- Simplify __range_close to avoid pointless locking
- Disable per-cpu buffer head cache for isolated cpus
- Port ecryptfs to kmap_local_page() api
- Remove redundant initialization of pointer buf in pipe code
- Unexport the d_genocide() function which is only used within core
vfs
- Replace printk(KERN_ERR) and WARN_ON() with WARN()
Fixes:
- Fix various kernel-doc issues
- Fix refcount underflow for eventfds when used as EFD_SEMAPHORE
- Fix a mainly theoretical issue in devpts
- Check the return value of __getblk() in reiserfs
- Fix a racy assert in i_readcount_dec
- Fix integer conversion issues in various functions
- Fix LSM security context handling during automounts that prevented

close(2) is a special case which guarantees a shallow kernel stack,
making delegation to task_work machinery unnecessary. Said delegation is
problematic as it involves atomic ops and interrupt masking trips, none
of which are cheap on x86-64. Forcing close(2) to do it looks like an
oversight in the original work.
Moreover presence of CONFIG_RSEQ adds an additional overhead as fput()
-> task_work_add(..., TWA_RESUME) -> set_notify_resume() makes the
thread returning to userspace land in resume_user_mode_work(), where
rseq_handle_notify_resume takes a SMAP round-trip if rseq is enabled for
the thread (and it is by default with contemporary glibc).
Sample result when benchmarking open1_processes -t 1 from will-it-scale
(that's an open + close loop) + tmpfs on /tmp, running on the Sapphire

patched: 1523521 (+14.5% / +7%) (with / without rseq)

This allows userspace to avoid going through /proc/self/fd when dealing
with all types of file descriptors for chmod(), and makes fchmodat2() a
proper superset of all other chmod syscalls.
The primary difference between fchmodat2(AT_EMPTY_PATH) and fchmod() is
that fchmod() doesn't operate on O_PATH file descriptors by design. To
quote open(2):
> O_PATH (since Linux 2.6.39)
> [...]
> The file itself is not opened, and other file operations (e.g.,
> read(2), write(2), fchmod(2), fchown(2), fgetxattr(2), ioctl(2),
> mmap(2)) fail with the error EBADF.
However, procfs has allowed userspace to do this operation ever since
the introduction of O_PATH through magic-links, so adding this feature
is only an improvement for programs that have to mess around with
/proc/self/fd/$n today to get this behaviour. In addition,
fchownat(AT_EMPTY_PATH) has existed since the introduction of O_PATH and
allows chown() operations directly on O_PATH descriptors.

On the userspace side fchmodat(3) is implemented as a wrapper
function which implements the POSIX-specified interface. This
interface differs from the underlying kernel system call, which does not
have a flags argument. Most implementations require procfs [1][2].
There doesn't appear to be a good userspace workaround for this issue
but the implementation in the kernel is pretty straight-forward.
The new fchmodat2() syscall allows to pass the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag,
unlike existing fchmodat.

Pull vfs file handling updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains Amir's work to fix a long-standing problem where an
unprivileged overlayfs mount can be used to avoid fanotify permission
events that were requested for an inode or superblock on the
underlying filesystem.
Some background about files opened in overlayfs. If a file is opened
in overlayfs @file->f_path will refer to a "fake" path. What this
means is that while @file->f_inode will refer to inode of the
underlying layer, @file->f_path refers to an overlayfs
{dentry,vfsmount} pair. The reasons for doing this are out of scope
here but it is the reason why the vfs has been providing the
open_with_fake_path() helper for overlayfs for very long time now. So
nothing new here.
This is for sure not very elegant and everyone including the overlayfs
maintainers agree. Improving this significantly would involve more
fragile and potentially rather invasive changes.
In various codepaths access to the path of the underlying filesystem
is needed for such hybrid file. The best example is fsnotify where
this becomes security relevant. Passing the overlayfs
@file->f_path->dentry will cause fsnotify to skip generating fsnotify
events registered on the underlying inode or superblock.
To fix this we extend the vfs provided open_with_fake_path() concept
for overlayfs to create a backing file container that holds the real
path and to expose a helper that can be used by relevant callers to
get access to the path of the underlying filesystem through the new
file_real_path() helper. This pattern is similar to what we do in
d_real() and d_real_inode().
The first beneficiary is fsnotify and fixes the security sensitive
problem mentioned above.
There's a couple of nice cleanups included as well.
Over time, the old open_with_fake_path() helper added specifically for
overlayfs a long time ago started to get used in other places such as
cachefiles. Even though cachefiles have nothing to do with hybrid
files.
The only reason cachefiles used that concept was that files opened
with open_with_fake_path() aren't charged against the caller's open
file limit by raising FMODE_NOACCOUNT. It's just mere coincidence that
both overlayfs and cachefiles need to ensure to not overcharge the
caller for their internal open calls.
So this work disentangles FMODE_NOACCOUNT use cases and backing file
use-cases by adding the FMODE_BACKING flag which indicates that the
file can be used to retrieve the backing file of another filesystem.
(Fyi, Jens will be sending you a really nice cleanup from Christoph
that gets rid of 3 FMODE_* flags otherwise this would be the last
fmode_t bit we'd be using.)
So now overlayfs becomes the sole user of the renamed
open_with_fake_path() helper which is now named backing_file_open().
For internal kernel users such as cachefiles that are only interested
in FMODE_NOACCOUNT but not in FMODE_BACKING we add a new
kernel_file_open() helper which opens a file without being charged
against the caller's open file limit. All new helpers are properly
documented and clearly annotated to mention their special uses.
We also rename vfs_tmpfile_open() to kernel_tmpfile_open() to clearly
distinguish it from vfs_tmpfile() and align it the other kernel_*()
internal helpers"

Overlayfs uses open_with_fake_path() to allocate internal kernel files,
with a "fake" path - whose f_path is not on the same fs as f_inode.
Allocate a container struct backing_file for those internal files, that
is used to hold the "fake" ovl path along with the real path.
backing_file_real_path() can be used to access the stored real path.

fsnotify_open() hook is called only from high level system calls
context and not called for the very many helpers to open files.
This may makes sense for many of the special file open cases, but it is
inconsistent with fsnotify_close() hook that is called for every last
fput() of on a file object with FMODE_OPENED.
As a result, it is possible to observe ACCESS, MODIFY and CLOSE events
without ever observing an OPEN event.
Fix this inconsistency by replacing all the fsnotify_open() hooks with
a single hook inside do_dentry_open().
If there are special cases that would like to opt-out of the possible
overhead of fsnotify() call in fsnotify_open(), they would probably also
want to avoid the overhead of fsnotify() call in the rest of the fsnotify
hooks, so they should be opening that file with the __FMODE_NONOTIFY flag.
However, in the majority of those cases, the s_fsnotify_connectors
optimization in fsnotify_parent() would be sufficient to avoid the
overhead of fsnotify() call anyway.

After a couple of years and multiple LTS releases we received a report
that the behavior of O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT changed starting with v5.7.
On kernels prior to v5.7 combinations of O_DIRECTORY, O_CREAT, O_EXCL
had the following semantics:
(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
* d doesn't exist: create regular file
* d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
* d exists and is a directory: EISDIR
(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
* d doesn't exist: create regular file
* d exists and is a regular file: EEXIST
* d exists and is a directory: EEXIST
(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
* d doesn't exist: ENOENT
* d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
* d exists and is a directory: open directory
On kernels since to v5.7 combinations of O_DIRECTORY, O_CREAT, O_EXCL
have the following semantics:
(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
* d doesn't exist: ENOTDIR (create regular file)
* d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
* d exists and is a directory: EISDIR
(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
* d doesn't exist: ENOTDIR (create regular file)
* d exists and is a regular file: EEXIST
* d exists and is a directory: EEXIST
(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
* d doesn't exist: ENOENT
* d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
* d exists and is a directory: open directory
This is a fairly substantial semantic change that userspace didn't
notice until Pedro took the time to deliberately figure out corner
cases. Since no one noticed this breakage we can somewhat safely assume
that O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT combinations are likely unused.
The v5.7 breakage is especially weird because while ENOTDIR is returned
indicating failure a regular file is actually created. This doesn't make
a lot of sense.
Time was spent finding potential users of this combination. Searching on
codesearch.debian.net showed that codebases often express semantical
expectations about O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT which are completely contrary
to what our code has done and currently does.
The expectation often is that this particular combination would create
and open a directory. This suggests users who tried to use that
combination would stumble upon the counterintuitive behavior no matter
if pre-v5.7 or post v5.7 and quickly realize neither semantics give them
what they want. For some examples see the code examples in [1] to [3]
and the discussion in [4].
There are various ways to address this issue. The lazy/simple option
would be to restore the pre-v5.7 behavior and to just live with that bug
forever. But since there's a real chance that the O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT
quirk isn't relied upon we should try to get away with murder(ing bad
semantics) first. If we need to Frankenstein pre-v5.7 behavior later so
be it.
So let's simply return EINVAL categorically for O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT
combinations. In addition to cleaning up the old bug this also opens up
the possiblity to make that flag combination do something more intuitive
in the future.
Starting with this commit the following semantics apply:
(1) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
* d doesn't exist: EINVAL
* d exists and is a regular file: EINVAL
* d exists and is a directory: EINVAL
(2) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL)
* d doesn't exist: EINVAL
* d exists and is a regular file: EINVAL
* d exists and is a directory: EINVAL
(3) open("/tmp/d", O_DIRECTORY | O_EXCL)
* d doesn't exist: ENOENT
* d exists and is a regular file: ENOTDIR
* d exists and is a directory: open directory
One additional note, O_TMPFILE is implemented as:
#define __O_TMPFILE 020000000
#define O_TMPFILE (__O_TMPFILE | O_DIRECTORY)
#define O_TMPFILE_MASK (__O_TMPFILE | O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT)
For older kernels it was important to return an explicit error when
O_TMPFILE wasn't supported. So O_TMPFILE requires that O_DIRECTORY is
raised alongside __O_TMPFILE. It also enforced that O_CREAT wasn't
specified. Since O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT could be used to create a regular
allowing that combination together with __O_TMPFILE would've meant that
false positives were possible, i.e., that a regular file was created
instead of a O_TMPFILE. This could've been used to trick userspace into
thinking it operated on a O_TMPFILE when it wasn't.
Now that we block O_DIRECTORY | O_CREAT completely the check for O_CREAT
in the __O_TMPFILE branch via if ((flags & O_TMPFILE_MASK) != O_TMPFILE)
can be dropped. Instead we can simply check verify that O_DIRECTORY is
raised via if (!(flags & O_DIRECTORY)) and explain this in two comments.
As Aleksa pointed out O_PATH is unaffected by this change since it
always returned EINVAL if O_CREAT was specified - with or without
O_DIRECTORY.

It falls down to do_faccessat without the AT_EACCESS flag, which in turn
results in allocation of new creds in order to modify fsuid/fsgid and
caps. This is a very expensive process single-threaded and most notably
multi-threaded, with numerous structures getting refed and unrefed on
imminent new cred destruction.
Turns out for typical consumers the resulting creds would be identical
and this can be checked upfront, avoiding the hard work.

Pull vfs hardening update from Christian Brauner:
"Jan pointed out that during shutdown both filp_close() and super block
destruction will use basic printk logging when bugs are detected. This
causes issues in a few scenarios:
- Tools like syzkaller cannot figure out that the logged message
indicates a bug.
- Users that explicitly opt in to have the kernel bug on data
corruption by selecting CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION should see
the kernel crash when they did actually select that option.
- When there are busy inodes after the superblock is shut down later
access to such a busy inodes walks through freed memory. It would
be better to cleanly crash instead.
All of this can be addressed by using the already existing
CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() macro in these places when kernel bugs are
detected. Its logging improvement is useful for all users.
Otherwise this only has a meaningful behavioral effect when users do
select CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION which means this is backward
compatible for regular users"

Merge tag 'fs.idmapped.v6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping
Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:
- Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b ("fs:
introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached
to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy
to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with
namespaces that are relevant on the mount level. Especially for
non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
potential source for bugs.
This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.
Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments.
Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.
Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.
We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
requirements.
In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.
- Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.
A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.
However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
up.
As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
additional tests.

Currently, filp_close() and generic_shutdown_super() use printk() to log
messages when bugs are detected. This is problematic because infrastructure
like syzkaller has no idea that this message indicates a bug.
In addition, some people explicitly want their kernels to BUG() when kernel
data corruption has been detected (CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION).
And finally, when generic_shutdown_super() detects remaining inodes on a
system without CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION, it would be nice if later
accesses to a busy inode would at least crash somewhat cleanly rather than
walking through freed memory.
To address all three, use CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() when kernel bugs are
detected.

Merge tag 'landlock-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mic/linux
Pull landlock updates from Mickaël Salaün:
"This adds file truncation support to Landlock, contributed by Günther
Noack. As described by Günther [1], the goal of these patches is to
work towards a more complete coverage of file system operations that
are restrictable with Landlock.
The known set of currently unsupported file system operations in
Landlock is described at [2]. Out of the operations listed there,
truncate is the only one that modifies file contents, so these patches
should make it possible to prevent the direct modification of file
contents with Landlock.
The new LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE access right covers both the
truncate(2) and ftruncate(2) families of syscalls, as well as open(2)
with the O_TRUNC flag. This includes usages of creat() in the case
where existing regular files are overwritten.
Additionally, this introduces a new Landlock security blob associated
with opened files, to track the available Landlock access rights at
the time of opening the file. This is in line with Unix's general
approach of checking the read and write permissions during open(), and
associating this previously checked authorization with the opened
file. An ongoing patch documents this use case [3].
In order to treat truncate(2) and ftruncate(2) calls differently in an
LSM hook, we split apart the existing security_path_truncate hook into
security_path_truncate (for truncation by path) and
security_file_truncate (for truncation of previously opened files)"

Currently setgid stripping in file_remove_privs()'s should_remove_suid()
helper is inconsistent with other parts of the vfs. Specifically, it only
raises ATTR_KILL_SGID if the inode is S_ISGID and S_IXGRP but not if the
inode isn't in the caller's groups and the caller isn't privileged over the
inode although we require this already in setattr_prepare() and
setattr_copy() and so all filesystem implement this requirement implicitly
because they have to use setattr_{prepare,copy}() anyway.
But the inconsistency shows up in setgid stripping bugs for overlayfs in
xfstests (e.g., generic/673, generic/683, generic/685, generic/686,
generic/687). For example, we test whether suid and setgid stripping works
correctly when performing various write-like operations as an unprivileged
user (fallocate, reflink, write, etc.):
echo "Test 1 - qa_user, non-exec file $verb"
setup_testfile
chmod a+rws $junk_file
commit_and_check "$qa_user" "$verb" 64k 64k
The test basically creates a file with 6666 permissions. While the file has
the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits set it does not have the S_IXGRP set. On a
regular filesystem like xfs what will happen is:
sys_fallocate()
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> xfs_file_fallocate()
-> file_modified()
-> __file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
-> notify_change()
-> setattr_copy()
In should_remove_suid() we can see that ATTR_KILL_SUID is raised
unconditionally because the file in the test has S_ISUID set.
But we also see that ATTR_KILL_SGID won't be set because while the file
is S_ISGID it is not S_IXGRP (see above) which is a condition for
ATTR_KILL_SGID being raised.
So by the time we call notify_change() we have attr->ia_valid set to
ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_FORCE. Now notify_change() sees that
ATTR_KILL_SUID is set and does:
ia_valid = attr->ia_valid |= ATTR_MODE
attr->ia_mode = (inode->i_mode & ~S_ISUID);
which means that when we call setattr_copy() later we will definitely
update inode->i_mode. Note that attr->ia_mode still contains S_ISGID.
Now we call into the filesystem's ->setattr() inode operation which will
end up calling setattr_copy(). Since ATTR_MODE is set we will hit:
if (ia_valid & ATTR_MODE) {
umode_t mode = attr->ia_mode;
vfsgid_t vfsgid = i_gid_into_vfsgid(mnt_userns, inode);
if (!vfsgid_in_group_p(vfsgid) &&
!capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(mnt_userns, inode, CAP_FSETID))
mode &= ~S_ISGID;
inode->i_mode = mode;
}
and since the caller in the test is neither capable nor in the group of the
inode the S_ISGID bit is stripped.
But assume the file isn't suid then ATTR_KILL_SUID won't be raised which
has the consequence that neither the setgid nor the suid bits are stripped
even though it should be stripped because the inode isn't in the caller's
groups and the caller isn't privileged over the inode.
If overlayfs is in the mix things become a bit more complicated and the bug
shows up more clearly. When e.g., ovl_setattr() is hit from
ovl_fallocate()'s call to file_remove_privs() then ATTR_KILL_SUID and
ATTR_KILL_SGID might be raised but because the check in notify_change() is
questioning the ATTR_KILL_SGID flag again by requiring S_IXGRP for it to be
stripped the S_ISGID bit isn't removed even though it should be stripped:
sys_fallocate()
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> ovl_fallocate()
-> file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
-> notify_change()
-> ovl_setattr()
// TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS
-> ovl_do_notify_change()
-> notify_change()
// GIVE UP MOUNTER'S CREDS
// TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> xfs_file_fallocate()
-> file_modified()
-> __file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = attr_force | kill;
-> notify_change()
The fix for all of this is to make file_remove_privs()'s
should_remove_suid() helper to perform the same checks as we already
require in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and have notify_change()
not pointlessly requiring S_IXGRP again. It doesn't make any sense in the
first place because the caller must calculate the flags via
should_remove_suid() anyway which would raise ATTR_KILL_SGID.
While we're at it we move should_remove_suid() from inode.c to attr.c
where it belongs with the rest of the iattr helpers. Especially since it
returns ATTR_KILL_S{G,U}ID flags. We also rename it to
setattr_should_drop_suidgid() to better reflect that it indicates both
setuid and setgid bit removal and also that it returns attr flags.
Running xfstests with this doesn't report any regressions. We should really
try and use consistent checks.

Beginning of the merge window we introduced the vfs{g,u}id_t types in
b27c82e129 ("attr: port attribute changes to new types") and changed
various codepaths over including chown_common().
During that change we forgot to account for the case were the passed
ownership value is -1. In this case the ownership fields in struct iattr
aren't initialized but we rely on them being initialized by the time we
generate the ownership to pass down to the LSMs. All the major LSMs
don't care about the ownership values at all. Only Tomoyo uses them and
so it took a while for syzbot to unearth this issue.
Fix this by initializing the ownership fields and do it within the
retry_deleg block. While notify_change() doesn't alter the ownership
fields currently we shouldn't rely on it.
Since no kernel has been released with these changes this does not
needed to be backported to any stable kernels.

Thread A trying to acquire a write lease checks the value of i_readcount
and i_writecount in check_conflicting_open() to verify that its own fd
is the only fd referencing the file.
Thread B trying to open the file for read will call break_lease() in
do_dentry_open() before incrementing i_readcount, which leaves a small
window where thread A can acquire the write lease and then thread B
completes the open of the file for read without breaking the write lease
that was acquired by thread A.
Fix this race by incrementing i_readcount before checking for existing
leases, same as the case with i_writecount.
Use a helper put_file_access() to decrement i_readcount or i_writecount
in do_dentry_open() and __fput().
