Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/6] RLIMIT_NPROC in ucounts fixups
Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2022 13:17:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220207121800.5079-1-mkoutny@suse.com> (raw)
This series is a result of looking deeper into breakage of
tools/testing/selftests/rlimits/rlimits-per-userns.c after
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220204181144.24462-1-mkoutny@suse.com/
is applied.
The description of the original problem that lead to RLIMIT_NPROC et al.
ucounts rewrite could be ambiguously interpretted as supporting either
the case of:
- never-fork service or
- fork (RLIMIT_NPROC-1) times service.
The scenario is weird anyway given existence of pids controller.
The realization of that scenario relies not only on tracking number of
processes per user_ns but also newly allows the root to override limit through
set*uid. The commit message didn't mention that, so it's unclear if it
was the intention too.
I also noticed that the RLIMIT_NPROC enforcing in fork seems subject to TOCTOU
race (check(nr_tasks),...,nr_tasks++) so the limit is rather advisory (but
that's not a new thing related to ucounts rewrite).
This series is RFC to discuss relevance of the subtle changes RLIMIT_NPROC to
ucounts rewrite introduced.
Michal Koutný (6):
set_user: Perform RLIMIT_NPROC capability check against new user
credentials
set*uid: Check RLIMIT_PROC against new credentials
cred: Count tasks by their real uid into RLIMIT_NPROC
ucounts: Allow root to override RLIMIT_NPROC
selftests: Challenge RLIMIT_NPROC in user namespaces
selftests: Test RLIMIT_NPROC in clone-created user namespaces
