[PATCH -next 1/2] mm/memfd: make F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal more robust

[PATCH -next 1/2] mm/memfd: make F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal more robust

[Joel Fernandes (Google)]

A better way to do F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal was discussed [1] last week
where we don't need to modify core VFS structures to get the same
behavior of the seal. This solves several side-effects pointed out by
Andy [2].

[PATCH -next 2/2] selftests/memfd: modify tests for F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal

[Joel Fernandes (Google)]

Modify the tests for F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE based on the changes
introduced in previous patch.

Also add a test to make sure the reopen issue pointed by Jann Horn [1]
is fixed.

Since we squashed [1] the mm/memfd patch modifications suggested by Andy into
the original patch, I also squashed the selftests modifications and appended
the patch inline below if you want to take this instead:

Add tests to verify sealing memfds with the F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE works as
expected.

It is in linux-next. Could we keep both commits so we have the history?

Unless mmotm is more magical than I think, the commit hash in your fixed tag is already nonsense. mmotm gets rebased all the time, and is only barely a git tree.

I wouldn't go so far to call it nonsense. It was a working patch, it just did
things differently. Your help with improving the patch is much appreciated.

I am Ok with whatever Andrew wants to do, if it is better to squash it with
the original, then I can do that and send another patch.

I’m not saying the patch is nonsense — I’m saying the *hash* may be nonsense. akpm uses a bunch of .patch files and all kinds of crazy scripts, and the mmotm.git tree is not stable at all.

Oh, ok. Sorry for misunderstanding and thanks for clarification. :-)

Andrew, could you squash this patch into the one titled ("mm: Add an
F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal to memfd")? That one was already picked up by -next
but I imagine you might have a crazy script as Andy pointed out for exactly
these situations. ;-)

thanks,

Sure.

I could of course queue them separately but I rarely do so - I don't
think that the intermediate development states are useful in the
infinite-term, and I make them available via additional Link: tags in
the changelog footers anyway.

I think that the magnitude of these patches is such that John Stultz's
Reviewed-by is invalidated, so this series is now in the "unreviewed"
state.

So can we have a re-review please?  For convenience, here's the
folded-together [1/1] patch, as it will go to Linus.


From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@joelfernandes.org>
Subject: mm: Add an F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal to memfd

Android uses ashmem for sharing memory regions.  We are looking forward to
migrating all usecases of ashmem to memfd so that we can possibly remove
the ashmem driver in the future from staging while also benefiting from
using memfd and contributing to it.  Note staging drivers are also not ABI
and generally can be removed at anytime.

One of the main usecases Android has is the ability to create a region and
mmap it as writeable, then add protection against making any "future"
writes while keeping the existing already mmap'ed writeable-region active.
This allows us to implement a usecase where receivers of the shared
memory buffer can get a read-only view, while the sender continues to
write to the buffer.  See CursorWindow documentation in Android for more
details:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/CursorWindow

This usecase cannot be implemented with the existing F_SEAL_WRITE seal. 
To support the usecase, this patch adds a new F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal
which prevents any future mmap and write syscalls from succeeding while
keeping the existing mmap active.  The following program shows the seal
working in action:

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <errno.h>
 #include <sys/mman.h>
 #include <linux/memfd.h>
 #include <linux/fcntl.h>
 #include <asm/unistd.h>
 #include <unistd.h>
 #define F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE 0x0010
 #define REGION_SIZE (5 * 1024 * 1024)

int memfd_create_region(const char *name, size_t size)
{
    int ret;
    int fd = syscall(__NR_memfd_create, name, MFD_ALLOW_SEALING);
    if (fd < 0) return fd;
    ret = ftruncate(fd, size);
    if (ret < 0) { close(fd); return ret; }
    return fd;
}

int main() {
    int ret, fd;
    void *addr, *addr2, *addr3, *addr1;
    ret = memfd_create_region("test_region", REGION_SIZE);
    printf("ret=%d\n", ret);
    fd = ret;

    // Create map
    addr = mmap(0, REGION_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
    if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
	    printf("map 0 failed\n");
    else
	    printf("map 0 passed\n");

    if ((ret = write(fd, "test", 4)) != 4)
	    printf("write failed even though no future-write seal "
		   "(ret=%d errno =%d)\n", ret, errno);
    else
	    printf("write passed\n");

    addr1 = mmap(0, REGION_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
    if (addr1 == MAP_FAILED)
	    perror("map 1 prot-write failed even though no seal\n");
    else
	    printf("map 1 prot-write passed as expected\n");

    ret = fcntl(fd, F_ADD_SEALS, F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE |
				 F_SEAL_GROW |
				 F_SEAL_SHRINK);
    if (ret == -1)
	    printf("fcntl failed, errno: %d\n", errno);
    else
	    printf("future-write seal now active\n");

    if ((ret = write(fd, "test", 4)) != 4)
	    printf("write failed as expected due to future-write seal\n");
    else
	    printf("write passed (unexpected)\n");

    addr2 = mmap(0, REGION_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
    if (addr2 == MAP_FAILED)
	    perror("map 2 prot-write failed as expected due to seal\n");
    else
	    printf("map 2 passed\n");

    addr3 = mmap(0, REGION_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
    if (addr3 == MAP_FAILED)
	    perror("map 3 failed\n");
    else
	    printf("map 3 prot-read passed as expected\n");
}

The output of running this program is as follows:
ret=3
map 0 passed
write passed
map 1 prot-write passed as expected
future-write seal now active
write failed as expected due to future-write seal
map 2 prot-write failed as expected due to seal
: Permission denied
map 3 prot-read passed as expected

This might all be clearer as:

if (info->seals & F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE) {
  if (vma->vm_flags ...)
    return -EPERM;
  vma->vm_flags &= ~VM_MAYWRITE;

Agreed, its simpler. Updated patch is below. I squashed it with all the
earlier ones. Andy, could you provide Acks and/or Reviewed-by tag as well?

Subject: [PATCH v4] mm/memfd: Add an F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal to memfd

Android uses ashmem for sharing memory regions.  We are looking forward to
migrating all usecases of ashmem to memfd so that we can possibly remove
the ashmem driver in the future from staging while also benefiting from
using memfd and contributing to it.  Note staging drivers are also not ABI
and generally can be removed at anytime.

One of the main usecases Android has is the ability to create a region and
mmap it as writeable, then add protection against making any "future"
writes while keeping the existing already mmap'ed writeable-region active.
This allows us to implement a usecase where receivers of the shared
memory buffer can get a read-only view, while the sender continues to
write to the buffer.  See CursorWindow documentation in Android for more
details:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/CursorWindow

This usecase cannot be implemented with the existing F_SEAL_WRITE seal.
To support the usecase, this patch adds a new F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal
which prevents any future mmap and write syscalls from succeeding while
keeping the existing mmap active.

A better way to do F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE seal was discussed [1] last week
where we don't need to modify core VFS structures to get the same
behavior of the seal. This solves several side-effects pointed by Andy.
self-tests are provided in later patch to verify the expected semantics.

This changelog doesn't have the nifty test case code which was in
earlier versions?

Why do we put regression tests in the changelogs anyway?  We have
tools/testing/selftests/vm/ already, perhaps they should go there?

The reason is I didn't add it was that test case went out of date and the
updated version of the test case went into the selftests in patch 2/2. I
thought that would suffice which covers all the cases. That's why I dropped
it.  Would that be Ok?

The changelog of the previous series had it because the selftest was added
only later.

Let me know, thanks,
