[patch 01/24] nfsd: clean up mnt_want_write calls

[Miklos Szeredi]

[-- Attachment #1: nfsd_create_cleanup.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1982 bytes --]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

Multiple mnt_want_write() calls in the switch statement looks really
ugly.

[patch 02/24] cgroup: dont call vfs_mkdir

[Miklos Szeredi]

[-- Attachment #1: cgroup_mkdir_cleanup.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1561 bytes --]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

cgroup_clone() calls vfs_mkdir() to create a directory in the cgroup
filesystem.  Replace with explicit call to cgroup_mkdir() and
fsnotify_mkdir().

This is equivalent, except that the following functions are not called
before cgroup_mkdir():

 - may_create()
 - security_inode_mkdir()
 - DQUOT_INIT()

Permission to clone the cgroup has already been checked in
copy_namespaces() (requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN).  Additional file system
related capability checks are inappropriate and confusing.

The quota check is unnecessary, as quotas don't make any sense for
this filesystem.

[patch 03/24] reiserfs: dont call vfs_rmdir

[Miklos Szeredi]

[-- Attachment #1: reiserfs_rmdir_cleanup.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3375 bytes --]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

reiserfs_delete_xattrs() calls vfs_rmdir() to remove the private
directory associated with the extended attributes for an inode.
Replace with explicit call to reiserfs_rmdir().

The extended attribute files reside in a private directory, completely
inaccessible from userspace.  This means, that checking against mounts
on the dentry is not necessary.

The calls to may_delete() and security_inode_rmdir(), as performed by
vfs_rmdir() are also unecessary for this case.

Based on patch by Jeff Mahoney.

[patch 04/24] reiserfs: dont call notify_change

[Miklos Szeredi]

[-- Attachment #1: reiserfs_notify_change_cleanup.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2128 bytes --]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

Reiserfs calls notify_change() on it's private extended attribute
files to resize and change ownership of these files.  Replace with
reiserfs_setattr().

This is equivalent, except that:

 - i_alloc_sem locking is not performed around reiserfs_setattr() when
   the size is changed
 - security_inode_setattr() is not called before reiserfs_setattr()
 - fsnotify_change() is not called after reiserfs_setattr()

None of the above is necessary, since the files are private to
reiserfs and inaccessible from userspace.

Also remove setting of ctime on the xattr files.

Based on patch by Jeff Mahoney.

I think splitting out the ATTR_SIZE case of reiserfs_setattr into
a separate helper would be better.  That would a) avoid the useless
c and mtime updates on the attribue inode and b) clean up
reiserfs_setattr a little bit.

sysfs_chmod_file() calls notify_change() to change the permission bits

fsnotify_change().

This is equivalent, except that security_inode_setattr() is not
called.  This function is called by drivers, so the security checks do
not make any sense.

[-- Attachment #1: hpfs_notify_change_cleanup.patch --]

hpfs_unlink() calls notify_change() to truncate the file before

This is equivalent, except that:
 - security_inode_setattr() is not called before hpfs_notify_change()
 - fsnotify_change() is not called after hpfs_notify_change()

The truncation is just an implementation detail, so both the security
check and the notification are unnecessary.

Possibly even the ctime modification is wrong?

This code is rahter scary, as we'd lost the content without the file
when the second remove_dirent attempt fails.  Because of that we should
at least keep the ctime change so an app can know the file was touched.

Again, looks correct but I'm not convinced about all these changes.

Unfortunatelly this is design bug in HPFS --- removing a dirent can 
allocate more space. There's nothing that can be done about it. OS/2 
crashes on panic when this situation is triggered :)

[-- Attachment #1: fat_notify_change_cleanup.patch --]

The FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES ioctl() calls notify_change() to change
the file mode before changing the inode attributes.  Replace with
explicit call to fat_setattr().

This is equivalent, except that security_inode_setattr() is not called
before fat_setattr().  I think this is not needed, since the mode
change is just a side effect of the attribute change.

Actually I think we want the security_inode_setattr.  This is an
implicit chmode when switching the ATTR_RO flag on and off and we should
have the full security check for it.  Then again I'm not sure the
security modules care about this level of detail because there's
probably even worse ioctl hidden somewhere.

Ccing the Selinux guys and Casey in case they care.

Yes, I'm a bit uncertain about this.  It's a user action that triggers
the mode change.  On the other hand it's just a side effect of the
ioctl.  I can re-add the security check just to be on the safe side,
but probably nobody cares.

I don't know of any situation where we'd have policy differentating the 
ioctl check from setattr for FAT (or any filesystem).

[patch 08/24] vfs: immutable inode checking cleanup

[Miklos Szeredi]

[-- Attachment #1: immutable_cleanup.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3912 bytes --]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

Move the immutable and append-only checks from chmod, chown and utimes
into notify_change().  Checks for immutable and append-only files are
always performed by the VFS and not by the filesystem (see
permission() and may_...() in namei.c), so these belong in
notify_change(), and not in inode_change_ok().

Erm...  What happens if we have UTIME_NOW on both and inode is marked
immutable?  AFAICS, you've just switched from -EPERM to -EACCES.
For append-only it's even more interesting - you go from -EPERM to
success.

It might or might not be the right thing to do, and the syscall is
new, but...  Do you have an ACK from Ulrich?

Yup.  These are defensible on the ground that times == NULL should be
equivalent to UTIME_NOW on both.  There's really no reason to be
stricter on the latter case.

No.  I could CC him on these, but he's not even acking my security
patches on utimesat, so I don't have high hopes.

Move the append-only checks from truncate to notify_change().  Checks
for append-only files are always performed by the VFS and not by the
filesystem so this belongs in notify_change(), and not in
inode_change_ok().

[patch 12/24] vfs: utimes immutable fix

[Miklos Szeredi]

[-- Attachment #1: utimes_immutable_fix.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1026 bytes --]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

If updating file times to the current time and using a file
descriptor, then don't check for immutable inode, only if the file is
opened for write.  In this case immutability has been checked at open
time.  This is the same as how write() and ftruncate() are handled.

Erm...  Is there any reason to

	* _not_ have do_futimesat() called "do_utimes"?

Review ping-pong.  My original patch did that, and Christoph didn't
like it.  I don't care that much actually, one thing I like better in
the second version is to have a separate function for the path lookup
thing (now called do_utimes(), but it could be renamed to
name_utimes() or whatever).

[patch 14/24] vfs: splice remove_suid() cleanup

[Miklos Szeredi]

[-- Attachment #1: splice_remove_suid_cleanup.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3197 bytes --]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

generic_file_splice_write() duplicates remove_suid() just because it
doesn't hold i_mutex.  But it grabs i_mutex inside splice_from_pipe()
anyway, so this is rather pointless.

Move locking to generic_file_splice_write() and call remove_suid() and
__splice_from_pipe() instead.

[patch 15/24] vfs: add path_create() and path_mknod()

[Miklos Szeredi]

[-- Attachment #1: path_create.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 13269 bytes --]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

R/O bind mounts require operations which modify the filesystem to be
wrapped in mnt_want_write()/mnt_drop_write().  Create helpers which do
this, so callers won't need to bother, and more importantly, cannot
forget!  Call these path_*, analogous to vfs_*.  Since there are no
callers of vfs_* left, make them static.

Overall this patchset is just 23 lines in the red, but at the same
time it fixes several places in nfsd and the whole of ecryptfs, where
the mnt_want_write/drop_write() calls were missing.

It will also help with merging certain security modules, which need to
know the path within the namespace, and not just within the
filesystem.  These helpers will allow the security hooks to be in a
common place, and need not be repeated in all callers.

Note, that the mnt_want_write/drop_write() bracketing provided by the
path_* functions is not strictly necessary in all cases, since the
caller may do it's own bracketing to span multiple VFS calls.
However, this does not make the checks in path_* incorrect, just
unnecessary.

The advantages of the path_* API are:

  - it's consistent

  - it provides some (not all) guarantees, i.e. it's easier to prove
    that all callers play by the rules

  - for the syscall case it has zero cost

  - for all the other cases it has either zero, or minimal cost

It does require the caller to have a vfsmount available, but it's hard
to imagine that the caller does not have it:

  - most userspace calls do have it, as they are either operating on a
    path or a file descriptor.  There are some exceptions like sync(2)
    and ustat(2), the latter not being a very exemplary interface, and
    neither of them being relevant to this discussion.

  - all kernel callers (nfs export, stacking) should have it, as they
    need it for open() anyway

And even if some theoretical caller didn't have the vfsmount, it still
should be easy to allocate one, providing a clean way to do the r/o
bracketing, and not requiring another mechanism to be exported that
provides the same functionality on the superblock.


This patch:

Introduce path_create() and path_mknod().  Make vfs_create() and
vfs_mknod() static.

Re: [patch 00/24] vfs: fixes and cleanups + add helpers to check r/o bind mounts

And totally ignored Al's while merging the second rejected series into
the first one.   I also still want to go over the various
setattr-related changes, pleawse give me some time for those.

Al doesn't like it but everybody else does.  His excuses are very
hollow and hypocritical, just take this for example: "Except that it
fixes nothing in nfsd, as we'd already figured out".  That's after
discussing extensively how racy the current nfsd code is.  And even
then the only acknowledgement I get is that the code has always been
racy.  You bet it has been bloody racy, that's what the r-o-bind
patches are supposed to fix.

All through that tread, I got a barrage of nasties thrown at me, and
every time it turned out that I was right.  And then just that issue
disappears from the next reply.  No "sorry about that, you were
right".  Yes, I'm getting tired from Al's attitude towards this thing,
and as long as no better patches from him or anybody else are
forthcoming, or comments actually addressing the _patches_ themselves,
instead of some hypothetical users of these interfaces, I'm just going
to ignore Al's rejections outright.

Now I have much respect for work he has and is doing on the kernel,
make no mistake.  But that doesn't make him somebody who can reject
patches on a whim.

Sure, and thanks for looking at the patches.

Ok, but perhaps you should have mentioned that in the changelog at the
beggining of series?

'I addressed Christoph's comments, but I believe Al is wrong'...?

And here is the same (well, with some cosmetic fixes) as a git tree,
in case it's more convenient for somebody to review/test.
