LOOKUP_EMPTY is ignored by the only remaining user, and without that 'getname_' prefix makes no sense. Remove LOOKUP_EMPTY part, rename to statx_lookup_flags() and make static.

2024-08-28file: reclaim 24 bytes from f_ownerChristian Brauner
We do embedd struct fown_struct into struct file letting it take up 32 bytes in total. We could tweak struct fown_struct to be more compact but really it shouldn't even be embedded in struct file in the first place. Instead, actual users of struct fown_struct should allocate the struct on demand. This frees up 24 bytes in struct file. That will have some potentially user-visible changes for the ownership fcntl()s. Some of them can now fail due to allocation failures. Practically, that probably will almost never happen as the allocations are small and they only happen once per file. The fown_struct is used during kill_fasync() which is used by e.g., pipes to generate a SIGIO signal. Sending of such signals is conditional on userspace having set an owner for the file using one of the F_OWNER fcntl()s. Such users will be unaffected if struct fown_struct is allocated during the fcntl() call. There are a few subsystems that call __f_setown() expecting file->f_owner to be allocated: (1) tun devices file->f_op->fasync::tun_chr_fasync() -> __f_setown() There are no callers of tun_chr_fasync(). (2) tty devices file->f_op->fasync::tty_fasync() -> __tty_fasync() -> __f_setown() tty_fasync() has no additional callers but __tty_fasync() has. Note that __tty_fasync() only calls __f_setown() if the @on argument is true. It's called from: file->f_op->release::tty_release() -> tty_release() -> __tty_fasync() -> __f_setown() tty_release() calls __tty_fasync() with @on false => __f_setown() is never called from tty_release(). => All callers of tty_release() are safe as well. file->f_op->release::tty_open() -> tty_release() -> __tty_fasync() -> __f_setown() __tty_hangup() calls __tty_fasync() with @on false => __f_setown() is never called from tty_release(). => All callers of __tty_hangup() are safe as well. From the callchains it's obvious that (1) and (2) end up getting called via file->f_op->fasync(). That can happen either through the F_SETFL fcntl() with the FASYNC flag raised or via the FIOASYNC ioctl(). If FASYNC is requested and the file isn't already FASYNC then file->f_op->fasync() is called with @on true which ends up causing both (1) and (2) to call __f_setown(). (1) and (2) are the only subsystems that call __f_setown() from the file->f_op->fasync() handler. So both (1) and (2) have been updated to allocate a struct fown_struct prior to calling fasync_helper() to register with the fasync infrastructure. That's safe as they both call fasync_helper() which also does allocations if @on is true. The other interesting case are file leases: (3) file leases lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup() -> __f_setown() Which in turn is called from: generic_add_lease() -> lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup() -> __f_setown() So here again we can simply make generic_add_lease() allocate struct fown_struct prior to the lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup() which happens under a spinlock. With that the two remaining subsystems that call __f_setown() are: (4) dnotify (5) sockets Both have their own custom ioctls to set struct fown_struct and both have been converted to allocate a struct fown_struct on demand from their respective ioctls. Interactions with O_PATH are fine as well e.g., when opening a /dev/tty as O_PATH then no file->f_op->open() happens thus no file->f_owner is allocated. That's fine as no file operation will be set for those and the device has never been opened. fcntl()s called on such things will just allocate a ->f_owner on demand. Although I have zero idea why'd you care about f_owner on an O_PATH fd.

The newly used helper also checks for empty ("") paths. NULL paths with any flag value other than AT_EMPTY_PATH go the usual route and end up with -EFAULT to retain compatibility (Rust is abusing calls of the sort to detect availability of statx). This avoids path lookup code, lockref management, memory allocation and in case of NULL path userspace memory access (which can be quite expensive with SMAP on x86_64). Benchmarked with statx(..., AT_EMPTY_PATH, ...) running on Sapphire Rapids, with the "" path for the first two cases and NULL for the last one.

2024-03-13pidfs: remove config optionChristian Brauner
As Linus suggested this enables pidfs unconditionally. A key property to retain is the ability to compare pidfds by inode number (cf. [1]). That's extremely helpful just as comparing namespace file descriptors by inode number is. They are used in a variety of scenarios where they need to be compared, e.g., when receiving a pidfd via SO_PEERPIDFD from a socket to trivially authenticate a the sender and various other use-cases. For 64bit systems this is pretty trivial to do. For 32bit it's slightly more annoying as we discussed but we simply add a dumb ida based allocator that gets used on 32bit. This gives the same guarantees about inode numbers on 64bit without any overflow risk. Practically, we'll never run into overflow issues because we're constrained by the number of processes that can exist on 32bit and by the number of open files that can exist on a 32bit system. On 64bit none of this matters and things are very simple. If 32bit also needs the uniqueness guarantee they can simply parse the contents of /proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>. The uniqueness guarantees have a variety of use-cases. One of the most obvious ones is that they will make pidfiles (or "pidfdfiles", I guess) reliable as the unique identifier can be placed into there that won't be reycled. Also a frequent request. Note, I took the chance and simplified path_from_stashed() even further. Instead of passing the inode number explicitly to path_from_stashed() we let the filesystem handle that internally. So path_from_stashed() ends up even simpler than it is now. This is also a good solution allowing the cleanup code to be clean and consistent between 32bit and 64bit. The cleanup path in prepare_anon_dentry() is also switched around so we put the inode before the dentry allocation. This means we only have to call the cleanup handler for the filesystem's inode data once and can rely ->evict_inode() otherwise. Aside from having to have a bit of extra code for 32bit it actually ends up a nice cleanup for path_from_stashed() imho. Tested on both 32 and 64bit including error injection.

Add simple operations that are stashed in sb->s_fs_info that both can implement. This also allows us to get rid of cleaning up references in the caller.

2024-03-01libfs: add stashed_dentry_prune()Christian Brauner
Both pidfs and nsfs use a memory location to stash a dentry for reuse by concurrent openers. Right now two custom dentry->d_prune::{ns,pidfs}_prune_dentry() methods are needed that do the same thing. The only thing that differs is that they need to get to the memory location to store or retrieve the dentry from differently. Fix that by remember the stashing location for the dentry in dentry->d_fsdata which allows us to retrieve it in dentry->d_prune. That in turn makes it possible to add a common helper that pidfs and nsfs can both use.

2024-03-01pidfs: convert to path_from_stashed() helperChristian Brauner
Moving pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a separate tiny in-kernel filesystem similar to sockfs, pipefs, and anon_inodefs causes selinux denials and thus various userspace components that make heavy use of pidfds to fail as pidfds used anon_inode_getfile() which aren't subject to any LSM hooks. But dentry_open() is and that would cause regressions. The failures that are seen are selinux denials. But the core failure is dbus-broker. That cascades into other services failing that depend on dbus-broker. For example, when dbus-broker fails to start polkit and all the others won't be able to work because they depend on dbus-broker. The reason for dbus-broker failing is because it doesn't handle failures for SO_PEERPIDFD correctly. Last kernel release we introduced SO_PEERPIDFD (and SCM_PIDFD). SO_PEERPIDFD allows dbus-broker and polkit and others to receive a pidfd for the peer of an AF_UNIX socket. This is the first time in the history of Linux that we can safely authenticate clients in a race-free manner. dbus-broker immediately made use of this but messed up the error checking. It only allowed EINVAL as a valid failure for SO_PEERPIDFD. That's obviously problematic not just because of LSM denials but because of seccomp denials that would prevent SO_PEERPIDFD from working; or any other new error code from there. So this is catching a flawed implementation in dbus-broker as well. It has to fallback to the old pid-based authentication when SO_PEERPIDFD doesn't work no matter the reasons otherwise it'll always risk such failures. So overall that LSM denial should not have caused dbus-broker to fail. It can never assume that a feature released one kernel ago like SO_PEERPIDFD can be assumed to be available. So, the next fix separate from the selinux policy update is to try and fix dbus-broker at [3]. That should make it into Fedora as well. In addition the selinux reference policy should also be updated. See [4] for that. If Selinux is in enforcing mode in userspace and it encounters anything that it doesn't know about it will deny it by default. And the policy is entirely in userspace including declaring new types for stuff like nsfs or pidfs to allow it. For now we continue to raise S_PRIVATE on the inode if it's a pidfs inode which means things behave exactly like before.

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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the work to retrieve detailed information about mounts via two new system calls. This is hopefully the beginning of the end of the saga that started with fsinfo() years ago. The LWN articles in [1] and [2] can serve as a summary so we can avoid rehashing everything here. At LSFMM in May 2022 we got into a room and agreed on what we want to do about fsinfo(). Basically, split it into pieces. This is the first part of that agreement. Specifically, it is concerned with retrieving information about mounts. So this only concerns the mount information retrieval, not the mount table change notification, or the extended filesystem specific mount option work. That is separate work. Currently mounts have a 32bit id. Mount ids are already in heavy use by libmount and other low-level userspace but they can't be relied upon because they're recycled very quickly. We agreed that mounts should carry a unique 64bit id by which they can be referenced directly. This is now implemented as part of this work. The new 64bit mount id is exposed in statx() through the new STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE flag. If the flag isn't raised the old mount id is returned. If it is raised and the kernel supports the new 64bit mount id the flag is raised in the result mask and the new 64bit mount id is returned. New and old mount ids do not overlap so they cannot be conflated. Two new system calls are introduced that operate on the 64bit mount id: statmount() and listmount(). A summary of the api and usage can be found on LWN as well (cf. [3]) but of course, I'll provide a summary here as well. Both system calls rely on struct mnt_id_req. Which is the request struct used to pass the 64bit mount id identifying the mount to operate on. It is extensible to allow for the addition of new parameters and for future use in other apis that make use of mount ids. statmount() mimicks the semantics of statx() and exposes a set flags that userspace may raise in mnt_id_req to request specific information to be retrieved. A statmount() call returns a struct statmount filled in with information about the requested mount. Supported requests are indicated by raising the request flag passed in struct mnt_id_req in the @mask argument in struct statmount. Currently we do support: - STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC: Basic filesystem info - STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC Mount information (mount id, parent mount id, mount attributes etc) - STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM Propagation from what mount in current namespace - STATMOUNT_MNT_ROOT Path of the root of the mount (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /bla) - STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT Path of the mount point (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /mnt) - STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE Name of the filesystem type as the magic number isn't enough due to submounts The string options STATMOUNT_MNT_{ROOT,POINT} and STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE are appended to the end of the struct. Userspace can use the offsets in @fs_type, @mnt_root, and @mnt_point to reference those strings easily. The struct statmount reserves quite a bit of space currently for future extensibility. This isn't really a problem and if this bothers us we can just send a follow-up pull request during this cycle. listmount() is given a 64bit mount id via mnt_id_req just as statmount(). It takes a buffer and a size to return an array of the 64bit ids of the child mounts of the requested mount. Userspace can thus choose to either retrieve child mounts for a mount in batches or iterate through the child mounts. For most use-cases it will be sufficient to just leave space for a few child mounts. But for big mount tables having an iterator is really helpful.

2023-12-12file: massage cleanup of files that failed to openAl Viro
A file that has never gotten FMODE_OPENED will never have RCU-accessed references, its final fput() is equivalent to file_free() and if it doesn't have FMODE_BACKING either, it can be done from any context and won't need task_work treatment. Now that we have SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU we can simplify this and have other callers benefit. All of that can be achieved easier is to make fput() recoginze that case and call file_free() directly. No need to introduce a special primitive for that. It also allowed things like failing dentry_open() could benefit from that as well.

2023-10-19fs: store real path instead of fake path in backing file f_pathAmir Goldstein
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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs 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" * tag 'v6.5/vfs.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: ovl: enable fsnotify events on underlying real files fs: use backing_file container for internal files with "fake" f_path fs: move kmem_cache_zalloc() into alloc_empty_file*() helpers fs: use a helper for opening kernel internal files fs: rename {vfs,kernel}_tmpfile_open()

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs rename locking updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the work from Jan to fix problems with cross-directory renames originally reported in [1]. To quickly sum it up some filesystems (so far we know at least about ext4, udf, f2fs, ocfs2, likely also reiserfs, gfs2 and others) need to lock the directory when it is being renamed into another directory. This is because we need to update the parent pointer in the directory in that case and if that races with other operations on the directory, in particular a conversion from one directory format into another, bad things can happen. So far we've done the locking in the filesystem code but recently Darrick pointed out in [2] that the RENAME_EXCHANGE case was missing. That one is particularly nasty because RENAME_EXCHANGE can arbitrarily mix regular files and directories and proper lock ordering is not achievable in the filesystems alone. This patch set adds locking into vfs_rename() so that not only parent directories but also moved inodes, regardless of whether they are directories or not, are locked when calling into the filesystem. This means establishing a locking order for unrelated directories. New helpers are added for this purpose and our documentation is updated to cover this in detail. The locking is now actually easier to follow as we now always lock source and target. We've always locked the target independent of whether it was a directory or file and we've always locked source if it was a regular file.
