Lock splice_read and splice_write functions

2012-10-28T17:59:37Z

Functions generic_file_splice_read and generic_file_splice_write access the pagecache directly. For block devices these functions must be locked so that block size is not changed while they are in progress. This patch is an additional fix for commit b87570f5d349 ("Fix a crash when block device is read and block size is changed at the same time") that locked aio_read, aio_write and mmap against block size change.

VFS: don't do protected {sym,hard}links by default

2012-10-26T17:05:07Z

In commit 800179c9b8a1 ("This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to the Linux VFS"), the new link protections were enabled by default, in the hope that no actual application would care, despite it being technically against legacy UNIX (and documented POSIX) behavior. However, it does turn out to break some applications. It's rare, and it's unfortunate, but it's unacceptable to break existing systems, so we'll have to default to legacy behavior. In particular, it has broken the way AFD distributes files, see http://www.dwd.de/AFD/ along with some legacy scripts. Distributions can end up setting this at initrd time or in system scripts: if you have security problems due to link attacks during your early boot sequence, you have bigger problems than some kernel sysctl setting. Do: echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks to re-enable the link protections. Alternatively, we may at some point introduce a kernel config option that sets these kinds of "more secure but not traditional" behavioural options automatically.
