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.

The callers of do_splice_direct() hold file_start_write() on the output file. This may cause file permission hooks to be called indirectly on an overlayfs lower layer, which is on the same filesystem of the output file and could lead to deadlock with fanotify permission events.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner: - Avoid calling back into LSMs from vfs_getattr_nosec() calls. IMA used to query inode properties accessing raw inode fields without dedicated helpers. That was finally fixed a few releases ago by forcing IMA to use vfs_getattr_nosec() helpers. The goal of the vfs_getattr_nosec() helper is to query for attributes without calling into the LSM layer which would be quite problematic because incredibly IMA is called from __fput()... __fput() -> ima_file_free() What it does is to call back into the filesystem to update the file's IMA xattr. Querying the inode without using vfs_getattr_nosec() meant that IMA didn't handle stacking filesystems such as overlayfs correctly. So the switch to vfs_getattr_nosec() is quite correct. But the switch to vfs_getattr_nosec() revealed another bug when used on stacking filesystems: __fput() -> ima_file_free() -> vfs_getattr_nosec() -> i_op->getattr::ovl_getattr() -> vfs_getattr() -> i_op->getattr::$WHATEVER_UNDERLYING_FS_getattr() -> security_inode_getattr() # calls back into LSMs Now, if that __fput() happens from task_work_run() of an exiting task current->fs and various other pointer could already be NULL. So anything in the LSM layer relying on that not being NULL would be quite surprised. Fix that by passing the information that this is a security request through to the stacking filesystem by adding a new internal ATT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag. Now the callchain becomes: __fput() -> ima_file_free() -> vfs_getattr_nosec() -> i_op->getattr::ovl_getattr() -> if (AT_GETATTR_NOSEC) vfs_getattr_nosec() else vfs_getattr() -> i_op->getattr::$WHATEVER_UNDERLYING_FS_getattr() - Fix a bug introduced with the iov_iter rework from last cycle. This broke /proc/kcore by copying too much and without the correct offset. - Add a missing NULL check when allocating the root inode in autofs_fill_super(). - Fix stable writes for multi-device filesystems (xfs, btrfs etc) and the block device pseudo filesystem. Stable writes used to be a superblock flag only, making it a per filesystem property. Add an additional AS_STABLE_WRITES mapping flag to allow for fine-grained control. - Ensure that offset_iterate_dir() returns 0 after reaching the end of a directory so it adheres to getdents() convention. * tag 'vfs-6.7-rc3.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: libfs: getdents() should return 0 after reaching EOD xfs: respect the stable writes flag on the RT device xfs: clean up FS_XFLAG_REALTIME handling in xfs_ioctl_setattr_xflags block: update the stable_writes flag in bdev_add filemap: add a per-mapping stable writes flag autofs: add: new_inode check in autofs_fill_super() iov_iter: fix copy_page_to_iter_nofault() fs: Pass AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to getattr interface function
2023-11-24fs: move kiocb_start_write() into vfs_iocb_iter_write()Amir Goldstein1-4/+4
In vfs code, sb_start_write() is usually called after the permission hook in rw_verify_area(). vfs_iocb_iter_write() is an exception to this rule, where kiocb_start_write() is called by its callers. Move kiocb_start_write() from the callers into vfs_iocb_iter_write() after the rw_verify_area() checks, to make them "start-write-safe". The semantics of vfs_iocb_iter_write() is changed, so that the caller is responsible for calling kiocb_end_write() on completion only if async iocb was queued. The completion handlers of both callers were adapted to this semantic change. This is needed for fanotify "pre content" events.

All the callers of vfs_iter_write() call file_start_write() just before calling vfs_iter_write() except for target_core_file's fd_do_rw(). Move file_start_write() from the callers into vfs_iter_write(). fd_do_rw() calls vfs_iter_write() with a non-regular file, so file_start_write() is a no-op.

2023-11-24ovl: add permission hooks outside of do_splice_direct()Amir Goldstein1-1/+25
The main callers of do_splice_direct() also call rw_verify_area() for the entire range that is being copied, e.g. by vfs_copy_file_range() or do_sendfile() before calling do_splice_direct(). The only caller that does not have those checks for entire range is ovl_copy_up_file(). In preparation for removing the checks inside do_splice_direct(), add rw_verify_area() call in ovl_copy_up_file(). For extra safety, perform minimal sanity checks from rw_verify_area() for non negative offsets also in the copy up do_splice_direct() loop without calling the file permission hooks.

2023-11-20ovl: initialize ovl_copy_up_ctx.destname inside ovl_do_copy_up()Amir Goldstein1-1/+7
The ->destname member of struct ovl_copy_up_ctx is initialized inside ovl_copy_up_one() to ->d_name of the overlayfs dentry being copied up and then it may be overridden by index name inside ovl_do_copy_up(). ovl_inode_lock() in ovl_copy_up_start() and ovl_copy_up() in ovl_rename() effectively stabilze ->d_name of the overlayfs dentry being copied up, but ovl_inode_lock() is not held when ->d_name is being read. It is not a correctness bug, because if ovl_do_copy_up() races with ovl_rename() and ctx.destname is freed, we will not end up calling ovl_do_copy_up() with the dead name reference. The code becomes much easier to understand and to document if the initialization of c->destname is always done inside ovl_do_copy_up(), either to the index entry name, or to the overlay dentry ->d_name.

2023-11-20ovl: remove redundant ofs->indexdir memberAmir Goldstein7-23/+15
When the index feature is disabled, ofs->indexdir is NULL. When the index feature is enabled, ofs->indexdir has the same value as ofs->workdir and takes an extra reference. This makes the code harder to understand when it is not always clear that ofs->indexdir in one function is the same dentry as ofs->workdir in another function. Remove this redundancy, by referencing ofs->workdir directly in index helpers and by using the ovl_indexdir() accessor in generic code. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>
2023-11-18fs: Pass AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to getattr interface functionStefan Berger2-5/+13
When vfs_getattr_nosec() calls a filesystem's getattr interface function then the 'nosec' should propagate into this function so that vfs_getattr_nosec() can again be called from the filesystem's gettattr rather than vfs_getattr(). The latter would add unnecessary security checks that the initial vfs_getattr_nosec() call wanted to avoid. Therefore, introduce the getattr flag GETATTR_NOSEC and allow to pass with the new getattr_flags parameter to the getattr interface function. In overlayfs and ecryptfs use this flag to determine which one of the two functions to call. In a recent code change introduced to IMA vfs_getattr_nosec() ended up calling vfs_getattr() in overlayfs, which in turn called security_inode_getattr() on an exiting process that did not have current->fs set anymore, which then caused a kernel NULL pointer dereference. With this change the call to security_inode_getattr() can be avoided, thus avoiding the NULL pointer dereference.

Add new mount options lowerdir+ and datadir+ that can be used to add layers to lower layers stack one by one. Unlike the legacy lowerdir mount option, special characters (i.e. colons and cammas) are not unescaped with these new mount options. The new mount options can be repeated to compose a large stack of lower layers, but they may not be mixed with the lagacy lowerdir mount option, because for displaying lower layers in mountinfo, we do not want to mix escaped with unescaped lower layers path syntax. Similar to data-only layer rules with the lowerdir mount option, the datadir+ option must follow at least one lowerdir+ option and the lowerdir+ option must not follow the datadir+ option. If the legacy lowerdir mount option follows lowerdir+ and datadir+ mount options, it overrides them. Sepcifically, calling: fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", "", 0); can be used to reset previously setup lower layers.

The "overlay.whiteouts" directory xattr is used in order to efficiently handle overlay checks in readdir(), as we only need to checks xattrs in affected directories. The advantage of this kind of whiteout is that they can be escaped using the standard overlay xattr escaping mechanism. So, a file with a "overlay.overlay.whiteout" xattr would be unescaped to "overlay.whiteout", which could then be consumed by another overlayfs as a whiteout. Overlayfs itself doesn't create whiteouts like this, but a userspace mechanism could use this alternative mechanism to convert images that may contain whiteouts to be used with overlayfs. To work as a whiteout for both regular overlayfs mounts as well as userxattr mounts both the "user.overlay.whiteout*" and the "trusted.overlay.whiteout*" xattrs will need to be created.

2023-10-31ovl: Support escaped overlay.* xattrsAlexander Larsson2-3/+85
There are cases where you want to use an overlayfs mount as a lowerdir for another overlayfs mount. For example, if the system rootfs is on overlayfs due to composefs, or to make it volatile (via tmps), then you cannot currently store a lowerdir on the rootfs. This means you can't e.g. store on the rootfs a prepared container image for use using overlayfs. To work around this, we introduce an escapment mechanism for overlayfs xattrs. Whenever the lower/upper dir has a xattr named "overlay.overlay.XYZ", we list it as "overlay.XYZ" in listxattrs, and when the user calls getxattr or setxattr on "overlay.XYZ", we apply to "overlay.overlay.XYZ" in the backing directories. This allows storing any kind of overlay xattrs in a overlayfs mount that can be used as a lowerdir in another mount. It is possible to stack this mechanism multiple times, such that "overlay.overlay.overlay.XYZ" will survive two levels of overlay mounts, however this is not all that useful in practice because of stack depth limitations of overlayfs mounts. Note: These escaped xattrs are copied to upper during copy-up.

overlayfs file open (ovl_maybe_lookup_lowerdata) and overlay file llseek take the ovl_inode_lock, without holding upper sb_writers. In case of nested lower overlay that uses same upper fs as this overlay, lockdep will warn about (possibly false positive) circular lock dependency when doing open/llseek of lower ovl file during copy up with our upper sb_writers held, because the locking ordering seems reverse to the locking order in ovl_copy_up_start(): - lower ovl_inode_lock - upper sb_writers Let the copy up "transaction" keeps an elevated mnt write count on upper mnt, but leaves taking upper sb_writers to lower level helpers only when they actually need it. This allows to avoid holding upper sb_writers during lower file open/llseek and prevents the lockdep warning. Minimizing the scope of upper sb_writers during copy up is also needed for fixing another possible deadlocks by a following patch. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>

Effectively, because sync ovl writes are protected by inode lock, this change only makes a difference if the realfile is written to (size extending writes) from underneath overlayfs.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual fses. Features: - Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount. - Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This helps in scenarios where we would usually only print "unknown-block(1,2)". - Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the endless POSIX ACL saga in a way. When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end up with: (1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs (2) SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in filesystem The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer. This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that don't even have POSIX ACL support at all. Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all umask handling always in the vfs. - Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too. - Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider cleanup that was done. - Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly from Amir: When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a "fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem. In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem objects that were accessed via overlayfs. This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent example is commit db1d1e8b9867 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring. This contains work to switch things around: instead of having filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed. Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path exposed by default. This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to catch if we have made any wrong assumptions. After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real(). - Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work. Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always dodgy.

Overlayfs falls into the same category as it raises SB_POSIXACL unconditionally to defer umask application to the upper filesystem. Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK use that and make SB_POSIXACL properly conditional on whether or not the kernel does have support for it. This will enable use to turn IS_POSIXACL() into nop on kernels that don't have POSIX ACL support avoding bugs from missed umask stripping.

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.
