[RFC] Add option to mount only a pids subset

[RFC] Add option to mount only a pids subset

[Alexey Gladkov]

After discussion with Oleg Nesterov I reimplement my patch as an additional
option for /proc. This option affects the mountpoint. It means that in one
pid namespace it possible to have both the whole traditional /proc and
/proc with only pids subset.

However, it remains an open question about overlayfs support in the /proc.

== Overview ==

Some of the container virtualization systems are mounted /proc inside
the container. This is done in most cases to operate with information
about the processes. Knowing that /proc filesystem is not fully
virtualized they are mounted on top of dangerous places empty files or
directories (for exmaple /proc/sys, /proc/kcore, /sys/firmware, etc.).

The structure of this filesystem is dynamic and any module can create a
new object which will not necessarily be virtualized. There are
proprietary modules that aren't in the mainline whose work we can not
verify.

This opens up a potential threat to the system. The developers of the
virtualization system can't predict all dangerous places in /proc by
definition.

A more effective solution would be to mount into the container only what
is necessary and ignore the rest.

Right now there is the opportunity to pass in the container any port of
the /proc filesystem using mount --bind expect the pids.

This patch allows to mount only the part of /proc related to pids
without rest objects. Since this is an option for /proc, flags applied to
/proc have an effect on this subset of filesystem.

Originally the idea was that the container will be mounted only pid sunset
and additional required files will be mounted on top using the overlayfs.
But I found out that /proc does not support overlayfs and does not allow
to mount anything on top or under it.

== TODO ==

There is still work to do:

 * Show pidonly via proc_show_options.
 * Add overlayfs support.

I like this.  I think you should split it into two patches, though:
one that reworks how procfs gets mounted and one that makes adds the
new functionality.

Djajal had some concerns about the first part breaking applications
that use stat and expect certain behavior.  This should be manageable,
though, but making stat work appropriately.

Re: [RFC] Add option to mount only a pids subset

[Oleg Nesterov]

I can't really review this... but in any case I think you should split
this patch to separate the vfs and proc changes.

This duplicates the error handling, we do the same if mount_fs() fails.
Perhaps you should move these 2 lines into cleanup block and add goto's.

Hmm. I don't quite understand why do we need this, and how this should work.

Yes, "/bin/ls /pidonly-proc/sys" or opendir(/pidonly-proc/sys) should fail,
but only because they both do stat() ?

Afaics you still can do open("/pidonly-proc/sys") + getdents() and this should
work ?

I still think proc_dir_operations.open() makes more sense. Yes, as you pointed
out we also need to update proc_sys_dir_file_operations too and may be something
else...

Oh, it would be nice to not duplicate the code from the caller, imo.

I'm bit lost in the two discussion, however the main concern I was
discussing with Andy was if you have per superblock proc mounts then
each mount will end up with its own device ID st_dev, right now they
share the same ID if they are in the same pid namespace, but if we
change that then we may break the following:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/namespaces.7.html

Both new NS_GET_PARENT and NS_GET_USERNS ioctl() that return an fd,
suggests to follow up with fstat() to identify the namespaces..
"By applying fstat(2) to the returned file descriptor, one obtains a
stat structure whose st_dev (resident device) and st_ino (inode
number) fields together identify the owning/parent namespace."

Other /proc/self/ns/* comparison and stat() logic...

Andy suggested that we may have the same st_dev for mounts in the same
pid namespace... I'm not sure which side effect this may bring!

Thanks!

Well right now it is less of an issue than you image.  I suggest you
stat /proc and /proc/self/ns/* and look at st_dev.

That said anything that changes today's proc needs to be tested with a
range of distro's especially those using selinux and apparmor as they
tend to have policies that are very sensitive to the implementation
details.  Such that seemingly innocent changes can cause systems to stop
booting.

Yes, you're right! I thought that getattr is called always together with
open(). I wanted to prevent all attempts open() for not-pid directories.

My main task was to hide all possible direcitrices from the /proc
(in pidonly mode)... even those which we do not know. In this case we
can't rely on the fact that everyone will follow the rules and to
properly handle open().

My current attempt was to force filesystem level check of mountpoint flag.
This is necessary to avoid even the theoretical possibility of ignoring
"pidonly" parameter.

I guess I need to add callback to vfs_open or something to can be sure
that we will not open the wrong file or directory in pidonly mode.

Sure, but first I wanted to discuss the idea. My patch isn't very useful
without the ability to add additional files.

I will split it into parts in the new version.

In fact, nothing has changed. I added a parameter that affects
the mountpoint, not the entire pid namespace.

The procfs will still be global. The device ID will be the same as before.

Basically we have here a issue because other proc options (hidepid for
example) affect the entire pid namespace, but, I guess, have to affect
the mountpoint.

# grep ^proc /proc/mounts 
proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0

# mount -t proc proc /tmp/proc
# mount -o remount,hidepid=2 -t proc proc /tmp/proc

# grep ^proc /proc/mounts 
proc /proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=2 0 0
proc /tmp/proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=2 0 0

	No.  This is really asking for trouble - you *can't* hang
fs-specific data structures off vfsmount.  Lifetimes make no
sense whatsoever.

	BTW, your patch leaks supreblock reference on failure, and
is kludgy as hell wrt to what it's doing in procfs itself, but
that's secondary - the quoted part is enough for a hard NAK on
architectural grounds.  Don't go there.

PS: AFAICS, simple mount --bind of your pid-only mount will suddenly
expose the full thing.  And as for the lifetimes making no sense...
note that you are simply not freeing these structures of yours.
Try to handle that and you'll get a serious PITA all over the
place.

What are you trying to achieve, anyway?  Why not add a second vfsmount
pointer per pid_namespace and make it initialized on demand, at the
first attempt of no-pid mount?  Just have a separate no-pid instance
created for those namespaces where it had been asked for, with
separate superblock and dentry tree not containing anything other
that pid-only parts + self + thread-self...

Can't we just make procfs work like most other filesystems and have
each mount have its own superblock?  If we need to do something funky
to stat() output to keep existing userspace working, I think that's
okay.

As far as I can tell, proc_mnt is very nearly useless -- it seems to
be used for proc_flush_task (which claims to be purely an optimization
and could be preserved in the common case where there's only one
relevant mount) and for sysctl_binary.  For the latter, we could
create proc_mnt but make actual user-initiated mounts be new
superblocks anyway.

First of all, most of the filesystems do *NOT* guarantee anything of
that sort.  And what's the point of having more instances than
necessary, anyway?

Again, what for?  It won't salvage that kludge...  It's not as if it
had been hard to have separate pid-only instance created when asked
for (and reused every time when we are asked for pid-only).  What's
the point of ever having more than two instances per pidns?  IDGI...

Folks, there is no one-to-one correspondence between mountpoints and
superblocks.  Not since 2000 or so.  Just don't try to shove your
per-superblock stuff into vfsmount; it simply won't work.  If you
want a separate instance for that thing, then just go ahead and
have ->mount() decide which one to use (and whether to create a new
one).  All there is to it...

I mean that, if I do:

mount -t proc -o foobar none a
mount -t proc -o baz none b

Then I think that the second mount should create a whole new proc
instance rather than just a new vfsmount.  Then the options could
differ, which would solve a bunch of problems.

I can easily procfs growing more than one interesting option.
Pid-only and hidepid come to mind, and that's already six possible
combinations.  The current hidepid implementation is really awful.

That's what I mean.  I just don't see the point of going all-out in
trying to reuse superblocks.

[RFC] Add option to mount only a pids subset

[Alexey Gladkov]

Al Viro, this patch looks better ?

== Overview ==

Some of the container virtualization systems are mounted /proc inside
the container. This is done in most cases to operate with information
about the processes. Knowing that /proc filesystem is not fully
virtualized they are mounted on top of dangerous places empty files or
directories (for exmaple /proc/sys, /proc/kcore, /sys/firmware, etc.).

The structure of this filesystem is dynamic and any module can create a
new object which will not necessarily be virtualized. There are
proprietary modules that aren't in the mainline whose work we can not
verify.

This opens up a potential threat to the system. The developers of the
virtualization system can't predict all dangerous places in /proc by
definition.

A more effective solution would be to mount into the container only what
is necessary and ignore the rest.

Right now there is the opportunity to pass in the container any port of
the /proc filesystem using mount --bind expect the pids.

This patch allows to mount only the part of /proc related to pids without
rest objects. Since this is an option for /proc, flags applied to /proc
have an effect on this subset of filesystem.

Originally the idea was that the container will be mounted only pid
sunset and additional required files will be mounted on top using the
overlayfs.

But I found out that /proc does not support overlayfs and does not allow
to mount anything on top or under it.

== TODO ==

There is still work to do:

* Add overlayfs support.

[PATCH] proc: allow to change proc mount options per mount

[Djalal Harouni]

As per the discussion with Andy, and following what Al Viro suggested
maybe this can work ? the patch is still buggy on top of Linus' tree 093b995e3b

Currently hidepid mount option is propagated to all proc mounts that are
in the same pid namespace. This patch make it possible to have proc
mounts with different options inside the same pid namespace.

Since this may break userspace or code that checks/expects some device
identifiers, this mode is only supported when theo ption "version=2" is
passed.

So we have to call proc_fill_options() twice, not good... Yes, I understand
why, but perhaps we factor it out somehow, we can pack options + pid_ns into
sb->s_fs_info. Nevermind, this is minor.

Afaics this lacks dget(ns->pidfs) which should pair with dput(mnt.mnt_root)
in cleanup_mnt(). IIUC otherwise ns->pidfs can go away after umount, OTOH,
if we return ns->pidfs then dget(sb->s_root) in mount_ns() is not balanced.
But this all is fixeable.

So with this change "mount -opidonly" creates another IS_ROOT() dentry which
is not equal to sb->s_root. I simply do not know if this is technically
correct or not... but, say, the "Only bind mounts can have disconnected paths"
comment in path_connected() makes me worry ;)

And this obviously means that /path-to-pidonly-mnt/ won't share dentries with
the normal /proc mount. Not really good imo even if not really wrong... Lets
look at proc_flush_task(). The exiting task will flush its $pid dentries in
/proc/ but not in /path-to-pidonly-mnt/ iiuc. Again, not really a bug, but
still...

I just sent a patch that also has to deal with proc hidepid here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/23/505

I'm not sure if that's the right approach, it is still buggy, however
seems that your patch also stores the mount option inside the
pid_namespace which may get propagated to all mounts inside same pidns
?

I didn't have enough time but maybe if they are related we can work it
out together ?

Thank you!

I completely agree with you that it looks wrong when options of one
mountpoint affect the others mountpoints.

I don't store 'pidonly' option in my current patch. I mean in:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/20/363

I parse options twice at first mount of procfs. It happens before
the mounting /proc in userspace.

I know it's bad, but I couldn't find place to store this option.

I don't have enough experience in kenrel hacking, but I would happily do
my best :)

I also tring to mention it in every patch, as my changes almost completely
useless without the ability to use the overlayfs.

Now if you remove the restriction:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/fs/proc/inode.c#n497

and mount procfs as lowerdir in overlayfs then you get NULL pointer
dereference at:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/fs/namei.c#n891

I got it when I tried to do `ls -la /overlay/proc/self/`.

It happens only once, when we don't have the s_root yet.

Ok, then maybe that approach of having a procfs struct holder instead
of using pid namespace may help!

This protection was introduced in e54ad7f1ee263

That's a security fix, ecryptfs seems to schedule some code through
kthreads which always run in the initial namespaces with full
capabilities, bypassing all security checks.

I don't know if overlayfs has something similar, if not then maybe if
it's possible in ecryptfs to check the lower mount and the fs type and
move this procfs there...  Cc'ed Jann in case he may comment.

I deside to stop doing my patch. I talked with a few people and found out
that the overlayfs doesn't feel very well if on the lower level filesystem
appear/disappear files.

In addition with the pidfs isn't so simple. Separate the root will lead to
a doubling of memory consumption and restrictions on the filesystem operations
level can easily be skipped.

It means that even I can do this pidfs (or pid subset in /proc), it
will be pointless.
