2020-03-24fsnotify: replace inode pointer with an object idAmir Goldstein
The event inode field is used only for comparison in queue merges and cannot be dereferenced after handle_event(), because it does not hold a refcount on the inode. Replace it with an abstract id to do the same thing.

2019-08-12fanotify, inotify, dnotify, security: add security hook for fs notificationsAaron Goidel
As of now, setting watches on filesystem objects has, at most, applied a check for read access to the inode, and in the case of fanotify, requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN. No specific security hook or permission check has been provided to control the setting of watches. Using any of inotify, dnotify, or fanotify, it is possible to observe, not only write-like operations, but even read access to a file. Modeling the watch as being merely a read from the file is insufficient for the needs of SELinux. This is due to the fact that read access should not necessarily imply access to information about when another process reads from a file. Furthermore, fanotify watches grant more power to an application in the form of permission events. While notification events are solely, unidirectional (i.e. they only pass information to the receiving application), permission events are blocking. Permission events make a request to the receiving application which will then reply with a decision as to whether or not that action may be completed. This causes the issue of the watching application having the ability to exercise control over the triggering process. Without drawing a distinction within the permission check, the ability to read would imply the greater ability to control an application. Additionally, mount and superblock watches apply to all files within the same mount or superblock. Read access to one file should not necessarily imply the ability to watch all files accessed within a given mount or superblock. In order to solve these issues, a new LSM hook is implemented and has been placed within the system calls for marking filesystem objects with inotify, fanotify, and dnotify watches. These calls to the hook are placed at the point at which the target path has been resolved and are provided with the path struct, the mask of requested notification events, and the type of object on which the mark is being set (inode, superblock, or mount). The mask and obj_type have already been translated into common FS_* values shared by the entirety of the fs notification infrastructure. The path struct is passed rather than just the inode so that the mount is available, particularly for mount watches. This also allows for use of the hook by pathname-based security modules. However, since the hook is intended for use even by inode based security modules, it is not placed under the CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH conditional. Otherwise, the inode-based security modules would need to enable all of the path hooks, even though they do not use any of them. This only provides a hook at the point of setting a watch, and presumes that permission to set a particular watch implies the ability to receive all notification about that object which match the mask. This is all that is required for SELinux. If other security modules require additional hooks or infrastructure to control delivery of notification, these can be added by them. It does not make sense for us to propose hooks for which we have no implementation. The understanding that all notifications received by the requesting application are all strictly of a type for which the application has been granted permission shows that this implementation is sufficient in its coverage. Security modules wishing to provide complete control over fanotify must also implement a security_file_open hook that validates that the access requested by the watching application is authorized. Fanotify has the issue that it returns a file descriptor with the file mode specified during fanotify_init() to the watching process on event. This is already covered by the LSM security_file_open hook if the security module implements checking of the requested file mode there. Otherwise, a watching process can obtain escalated access to a file for which it has not been authorized. The selinux_path_notify hook implementation works by adding five new file permissions: watch, watch_mount, watch_sb, watch_reads, and watch_with_perm (descriptions about which will follow), and one new filesystem permission: watch (which is applied to superblock checks). The hook then decides which subset of these permissions must be held by the requesting application based on the contents of the provided mask and the obj_type. The selinux_file_open hook already checks the requested file mode and therefore ensures that a watching process cannot escalate its access through fanotify. The watch, watch_mount, and watch_sb permissions are the baseline permissions for setting a watch on an object and each are a requirement for any watch to be set on a file, mount, or superblock respectively. It should be noted that having either of the other two permissions (watch_reads and watch_with_perm) does not imply the watch, watch_mount, or watch_sb permission. Superblock watches further require the filesystem watch permission to the superblock. As there is no labeled object in view for mounts, there is no specific check for mount watches beyond watch_mount to the inode. Such a check could be added in the future, if a suitable labeled object existed representing the mount. The watch_reads permission is required to receive notifications from read-exclusive events on filesystem objects. These events include accessing a file for the purpose of reading and closing a file which has been opened read-only. This distinction has been drawn in order to provide a direct indication in the policy for this otherwise not obvious capability. Read access to a file should not necessarily imply the ability to observe read events on a file. Finally, watch_with_perm only applies to fanotify masks since it is the only way to set a mask which allows for the blocking, permission event. This permission is needed for any watch which is of this type. Though fanotify requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, this is insufficient as it gives implicit trust to root, which we do not do, and does not support least privilege.

2019-07-18proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range checkMatteo Croce
In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as minimum and maximum allowed value. On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced. The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1, int_max=INT_MAX in different source files: $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l 248 Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them instead of creating a local one for every object file.

2019-07-12memcg, fsnotify: no oom-kill for remote memcg chargingShakeel Butt
Commit d46eb14b735b ("fs: fsnotify: account fsnotify metadata to kmemcg") added remote memcg charging for fanotify and inotify event objects. The aim was to charge the memory to the listener who is interested in the events but without triggering the OOM killer. Otherwise there would be security concerns for the listener. At the time, oom-kill trigger was not in the charging path. A parallel work added the oom-kill back to charging path i.e. commit 29ef680ae7c2 ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path"). So to not trigger oom-killer in the remote memcg, explicitly add __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to the fanotigy and inotify event allocations.

2019-02-07fsnotify: report FS_ISDIR flag with MOVE_SELF and DELETE_SELF eventsAmir Goldstein
We need to report FS_ISDIR flag with MOVE_SELF and DELETE_SELF events for fanotify, because fanotify API requires the user to explicitly request events on directories by FAN_ONDIR flag. inotify never reported IN_ISDIR with those events. It looks like an oversight, but to avoid the risk of breaking existing inotify programs, mask the FS_ISDIR flag out when reprting those events to inotify backend. We also add the FS_ISDIR flag with FS_ATTRIB event in the case of rename over an empty target directory. inotify did not report IN_ISDIR in this case, but it normally does report IN_ISDIR along with IN_ATTRIB event, so in this case, we do not mask out the FS_ISDIR flag.

2018-08-17fs: fsnotify: account fsnotify metadata to kmemcgShakeel Butt
Patch series "Directed kmem charging", v8. The Linux kernel's memory cgroup allows limiting the memory usage of the jobs running on the system to provide isolation between the jobs. All the kernel memory allocated in the context of the job and marked with __GFP_ACCOUNT will also be included in the memory usage and be limited by the job's limit. The kernel memory can only be charged to the memcg of the process in whose context kernel memory was allocated. However there are cases where the allocated kernel memory should be charged to the memcg different from the current processes's memcg. This patch series contains two such concrete use-cases i.e. fsnotify and buffer_head. The fsnotify event objects can consume a lot of system memory for large or unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. The events are allocated in the context of the event producer. However they should be charged to the event consumer. Similarly the buffer_head objects can be allocated in a memcg different from the memcg of the page for which buffer_head objects are being allocated. To solve this issue, this patch series introduces mechanism to charge kernel memory to a given memcg. In case of fsnotify events, the memcg of the consumer can be used for charging and for buffer_head, the memcg of the page can be charged. For directed charging, the caller can use the scope API memalloc_[un]use_memcg() to specify the memcg to charge for all the __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations within the scope. This patch (of 2): A lot of memory can be consumed by the events generated for the huge or unlimited queues if there is either no or slow listener. This can cause system level memory pressure or OOMs. So, it's better to account the fsnotify kmem caches to the memcg of the listener. However the listener can be in a different memcg than the memcg of the producer and these allocations happen in the context of the event producer. This patch introduces remote memcg charging API which the producer can use to charge the allocations to the memcg of the listener. There are seven fsnotify kmem caches and among them allocations from dnotify_struct_cache, dnotify_mark_cache, fanotify_mark_cache and inotify_inode_mark_cachep happens in the context of syscall from the listener. So, SLAB_ACCOUNT is enough for these caches. The objects from fsnotify_mark_connector_cachep are not accounted as they are small compared to the notification mark or events and it is unclear whom to account connector to since it is shared by all events attached to the inode. The allocations from the event caches happen in the context of the event producer. For such caches we will need to remote charge the allocations to the listener's memcg. Thus we save the memcg reference in the fsnotify_group structure of the listener. This patch has also moved the members of fsnotify_group to keep the size same, at least for 64 bit build, even with additional member by filling the holes.

2018-06-27inotify: Add flag IN_MASK_CREATE for inotify_add_watch()Henry Wilson
The flag IN_MASK_CREATE is introduced as a flag for inotiy_add_watch() which prevents inotify from modifying any existing watches when invoked. If the pathname specified in the call has a watched inode associated with it and IN_MASK_CREATE is specified, fail with an errno of EEXIST. Use of IN_MASK_CREATE with IN_MASK_ADD is reserved for future use and will return EINVAL. RATIONALE In the current implementation, there is no way to prevent inotify_add_watch() from modifying existing watch descriptors. Even if the caller keeps a record of all watch descriptors collected, this is only sufficient to detect that an existing watch descriptor may have been modified. The assumption that a particular path will map to the same inode over multiple calls to inotify_add_watch() cannot be made as files can be renamed or deleted. It is also not possible to assume that two distinct paths do no map to the same inode, due to hard-links or a dereferenced symbolic link. Further uses of inotify_add_watch() to revert the change may cause other watch descriptors to be modified or created, merely compunding the problem. There is currently no system call such as inotify_modify_watch() to explicity modify a watch descriptor, which would be able to revert unwanted changes. Thus the caller cannot guarantee to be able to revert any changes to existing watch decriptors. Additionally the caller cannot assume that the events that are associated with a watch descriptor are within the set requested, as any future calls to inotify_add_watch() may unintentionally modify a watch descriptor's mask. Thus it cannot currently be guaranteed that a watch descriptor will only generate events which have been requested. The program must filter events which come through its watch descriptor to within its expected range.

This is undesirable as userspace has no way of knowing whether the notifications it got are complete or not. Treat lost events due to ENOMEM the same way as lost events due to queue overflow so that userspace knows something bad happened and it likely needs to rescan the filesystem.

2018-02-14inotify: Extend ioctl to allow to request id of new watch descriptorKirill Tkhai
Watch descriptor is id of the watch created by inotify_add_watch(). It is allocated in inotify_add_to_idr(), and takes the numbers starting from 1. Every new inotify watch obtains next available number (usually, old + 1), as served by idr_alloc_cyclic(). CRIU (Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace) project supports inotify files, and restores watched descriptors with the same numbers, they had before dump. Since there was no kernel support, we had to use cycle to add a watch with specific descriptor id: while (1) { int wd; wd = inotify_add_watch(inotify_fd, path, mask); if (wd < 0) { break; } else if (wd == desired_wd_id) { ret = 0; break; } inotify_rm_watch(inotify_fd, wd); } (You may find the actual code at the below link: https://github.com/checkpoint-restore/criu/blob/v3.7/criu/fsnotify.c#L577) The cycle is suboptiomal and very expensive, but since there is no better kernel support, it was the only way to restore that. Happily, we had met mostly descriptors with small id, and this approach had worked somehow. But recent time containers with inotify with big watch descriptors begun to come, and this way stopped to work at all. When descriptor id is something about 0x34d71d6, the restoring process spins in busy loop for a long time, and the restore hungs and delay of migration from node to node could easily be watched. This patch aims to solve this problem. It introduces new ioctl INOTIFY_IOC_SETNEXTWD, which allows to request the number of next created watch descriptor from userspace. It simply calls idr_set_cursor() primitive to populate idr::idr_next, so that next idr_alloc_cyclic() allocation will return this id, if it is not occupied. This is the way which is used to restore some other resources from userspace. For example, /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid works the same for task pids. The new code is under CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE #define, so small system may exclude it. v2: Use INT_MAX instead of custom definition of max id, as IDR subsystem guarantees id is between 0 and INT_MAX.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-10-31fsnotify: convert fsnotify_mark.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_tElena Reshetova
atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable fsnotify_mark.refcnt is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

Currently we queue mark into a list of marks for destruction in __fsnotify_free_mark() and keep the last mark reference dangling. After the worker waits for SRCU period, it drops the last reference to the mark which frees it. This scheme has the disadvantage that if we hold reference to a mark and drop and reacquire SRCU lock, the mark can get freed immediately which is slightly inconvenient and we will need to avoid this in the future. Move to a scheme where queueing of mark into a list of marks for destruction happens when the last reference to the mark is dropped. Also drop reference to the mark held by group list already when mark is removed from that list instead of dropping it only from the destruction worker.

2017-01-24inotify: Convert to using per-namespace limitsNikolay Borisov
This patchset converts inotify to using the newly introduced per-userns sysctl infrastructure. Currently the inotify instances/watches are being accounted in the user_struct structure. This means that in setups where multiple users in unprivileged containers map to the same underlying real user (i.e. pointing to the same user_struct) the inotify limits are going to be shared as well, allowing one user(or application) to exhaust all others limits. Fix this by switching the inotify sysctls to using the per-namespace/per-user limits. This will allow the server admin to set sensible global limits, which can further be tuned inside every individual user namespace. Additionally, in order to preserve the sysctl ABI make the existing inotify instances/watches sysctls modify the values of the initial user namespace.

2015-11-05inotify: actually check for invalid bits in sys_inotify_add_watch()Dave Hansen
The comment here says that it is checking for invalid bits. But, the mask is *actually* checking to ensure that _any_ valid bit is set, which is quite different. Without this check, an unexpected bit could get set on an inotify object. Since these bits are also interpreted by the fsnotify/dnotify code, there is the potential for an object to be mishandled inside the kernel. For instance, can we be sure that setting the dnotify flag FS_DN_RENAME on an inotify watch is harmless? Add the actual check which was intended. Retain the existing inotify bits are being added to the watch. Plus, this is existing behavior which would be nice to preserve. I did a quick sniff test that inotify functions and that my 'inotify-tools' package passes 'make check'.

2015-06-16fs/notify: don't use module_init for non-modular inotify_user codePaul Gortmaker
The INOTIFY_USER option is bool, and hence this code is either present or absent. It will never be modular, so using module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading. Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which makes sense for fs code) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 5-fs (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that small difference has been observed during testing, or is expected.

2014-10-28sched, inotify: Deal with nested sleepsPeter Zijlstra
inotify_read is a wait loop with sleeps in. Wait loops rely on task_struct::state and sleeps do too, since that's the only means of actually sleeping. Therefore the nested sleeps destroy the wait loop state and the wait loop breaks the sleep functions that assume TASK_RUNNING (mutex_lock). Fix this by using the new woken_wake_function and wait_woken() stuff, which registers wakeups in wait and thereby allows shrinking the task_state::state changes to the actual sleep part.
