Add a flag option to get xattr method that could have a bit flag of
XATTR_NOSECURITY passed to it.  XATTR_NOSECURITY is generally then
set in the __vfs_getxattr path.

This handles the case of a union filesystem driver that is being
requested by the security layer to report back the xattr data.

For the use case where access is to be blocked by the security layer.

The path then could be security(dentry) ->
__vfs_getxattr(dentry...XATTR_NOSECUIRTY) ->
handler->get(dentry...XATTR_NOSECURITY) ->
__vfs_getxattr(lower_dentry...XATTR_NOSECUIRTY) ->
lower_handler->get(lower_dentry...XATTR_NOSECUIRTY)
which would report back through the chain data and success as
expected, the logging security layer at the top would have the
data to determine the access permissions and report back the target
context that was blocked.

Without the get handler flag, the path on a union filesystem would be
the errant security(dentry) -> __vfs_getxattr(dentry) ->
handler->get(dentry) -> vfs_getxattr(lower_dentry) -> nested ->
security(lower_dentry, log off) -> lower_handler->get(lower_dentry)
which would report back through the chain no data, and -EACCES.

For selinux for both cases, this would translate to a correctly
determined blocked access. In the first case with this change a correct avc
log would be reported, in the second legacy case an incorrect avc log
would be reported against an uninitialized u:object_r:unlabeled:s0
context making the logs cosmetically useless for audit2allow.

This patch series is inert and is the wide-spread addition of the
flags option for xattr functions, and a replacement of _vfs_getxattr
with __vfs_getxattr(...XATTR_NOSECURITY).

Removed from an overlayfs patch set, and made independent.
Expect this to be the basis of some security improvements.

Wow, 7 arguments.  Isn't there some nice rule of thumb that says once
you get more then 5, a function becomes impossible to understand?

Surely this could be a structure passed in here somehow, that way when
you add the 8th argument in the future, you don't have to change
everything yet again?  :)

I don't have anything concrete to offer as a replacement fix for this,
but to me this just feels really wrong...

thanks,

This is a method with a pot-pourri of somewhat intuitive useful, but not 
always necessary, arguments, the additional argument does not complicate 
the function(s) AFAIK, but maybe its usage. Most functions do not even 
reference handler, the inode is typically a derivative of dentry, The 
arguments most used are the name of the attribute and the buffer/size 
the results are to be placed into.

The addition of flags is actually a pattern borrowed from the [.]set 
method, which provides at least 32 bits of 'control' (of which we added 
only one). Before, it was an anti-pattern.

Just be happy I provided int flags, instead of bool no_security ;-> 
there are a few bits there that can be used in the future.

I went through 6 different alternatives (in the overlayfs security fix 
patch set) until I found this one that resonated with the security and 
filesystem stakeholders. The one was a direct result of trying to reduce 
the security attack surface. This code was created by threading a 
needle, and evolution. I am game for a 7th alternative to solve the 
unionfs set of recursive calls into acquiring the extended attributes.

How about something like:

struct xattr_gs_args {
	struct dentry *dentry;
	struct inode *inode;
	const char *name;
	const void *buffer;
	size_t size;
	int flags;
};

int (*get)(const struct xattr_handler *handler, struct xattr_gs_args *args);
int (*set)(const struct xattr_handler *handler, struct xattr_gs_args *args);

As he said in a later message, dentry and inode is redundant, only 1 is
needed (dentry I think?)

But yes, that would be much much better.

Good Idea, but using the same argument structure for set and get I would 
be concerned about the loss of compiler protection for the buffer 
argument; it is void* for get, and const void* for set. And if we pulled 
out buffer (and size since it is paired with it) from the structure to 
solve, the 'mixed' argument approach (resulting in 4 args) adds to the 
difficulty/complexity.

Good news is the same structure(s) can get passed to __vfs_getxattr and 
__vfs_setxattr, so one less issue with getting the argument order 
correct from the caller.

 From an optimization standpoint, passing an argument to a pointer to a 
structure assembled on the stack constrains the compiler. Whereas 
individual arguments allow for the optimization to place all the 
arguments into registers. All modern processors have no issue with tens 
of arguments.

So, I will look into what the patch set will look like by splitting into 
set and get, and trying to reuse the structure down the call chain.

struct getxattr_args {
	struct dentry *dentry;
	struct inode *inode;
	const char *name;
	void *buffer;
	size_t size;
	int flags;
};

struct setxattr_args {
	struct dentry *dentry;
	struct inode *inode;
	const char *name;
	const void *buffer;
	size_t size;
	int flags;
};

Agreed, I missed that.

Does 'get' need flags?

Sadly, the pattern of

struct getxattr_args args;

memset(&args, 0, sizeof(args));

args.xxxx = ...

__vfs_getxattr(&args};

...

__vfs_setxattr(&args);

would be nice, so maybe we need to cool our jets and instead:

struct xattr_gs_args {
	struct dentry *dentry;
	struct inode *inode;
	const char *name;
	union {
	        void *buffer;
	        const void *value;
	};
	size_t size;
	int flags;
};

value _must_ be referenced for all setxattr operations, buffer for getxattr operations (how can we enforce that?).

:-) That was the _whole_ point of the patch, flags is how we pass in the 
recursion so that a security/internal getxattr call has the rights to 
acquire the data in the lower layer(s).
