2020-06-08vfs: clean up posix_acl_permission() logic aroudn MAY_NOT_BLOCKLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
posix_acl_permission() does not care about MAY_NOT_BLOCK, and in fact the permission logic internally must not check that bit (it's only for upper layers to decide whether they can block to do IO to look up the acl information or not). But the way the code was written, it _looked_ like it cared, since the function explicitly did not mask that bit off. But it has exactly two callers: one for when that bit is set, which first clears the bit before calling posix_acl_permission(), and the other call site when that bit was clear. So stop the silly games "saving" the MAY_NOT_BLOCK bit that must not be used for the actual permission test, and that currently is pointlessly cleared by the callers when the function itself should just not care.

2020-06-08vfs: do not do group lookup when not necessaryLinus Torvalds1-15/+29
Rasmus Villemoes points out that the 'in_group_p()' tests can be a noticeable expense, and often completely unnecessary. A common situation is that the 'group' bits are the same as the 'other' bits wrt the permissions we want to test. So rewrite 'acl_permission_check()' to not bother checking for group ownership when the permission check doesn't care. For example, if we're asking for read permissions, and both 'group' and 'other' allow reading, there's really no reason to check if we're part of the group or not: either way, we'll allow it. Rasmus says: "On a bog-standard Ubuntu 20.04 install, a workload consisting of compiling lots of userspace programs (i.e., calling lots of short-lived programs that all need to get their shared libs mapped in, and the compilers poking around looking for system headers - lots of /usr/lib, /usr/bin, /usr/include/ accesses) puts in_group_p around 0.1% according to perf top. System-installed files are almost always 0755 (directories and binaries) or 0644, so in most cases, we can avoid the binary search and the cost of pulling the cred->groups array and in_group_p() .text into the cpu cache" Reported-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2020-05-14vfs: allow unprivileged whiteout creationMiklos Szeredi1-18/+3
Whiteouts, unlike real device node should not require privileges to create. The general concern with device nodes is that opening them can have side effects. The kernel already avoids zero major (see Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt). To be on the safe side the patch explicitly forbids registering a char device with 0/0 number (see cdev_add()). This guarantees that a non-O_PATH open on a whiteout will fail with ENODEV; i.e. it won't have any side effect. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

2020-04-02lookup_open(): don't bother with fallbacks to lookup+createAl Viro1-25/+9
We fall back to lookup+create (instead of atomic_open) in several cases: 1) we don't have write access to filesystem and O_TRUNC is present in the flags. It's not something we want ->atomic_open() to see - it just might go ahead and truncate the file. However, we can pass it the flags sans O_TRUNC - eventually do_open() will call handle_truncate() anyway. 2) we have O_CREAT | O_EXCL and we can't write to parent. That's going to be an error, of course, but we want to know _which_ error should that be - might be EEXIST (if file exists), might be EACCES or EROFS. Simply stripping O_CREAT (and checking if we see ENOENT) would suffice, if not for O_EXCL. However, we used to have ->atomic_open() fully responsible for rejecting O_CREAT | O_EXCL on existing file and just stripping O_CREAT would've disarmed those checks. With nothing downstream to catch the problem - FMODE_OPENED used to be "don't bother with EEXIST checks, ->atomic_open() has done those". Now EEXIST checks downstream are skipped only if FMODE_CREATED is set - FMODE_OPENED alone is not enough. That has eliminated the need to fall back onto lookup+create path in this case. 3) O_WRONLY or O_RDWR when we have no write access to filesystem, with nothing else objectionable. Fallback is (and had always been) pointless. IOW, we don't really need that fallback; all we need in such cases is to trim O_TRUNC and O_CREAT properly.

Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2020-04-02open_last_lookups(): lift O_EXCL|O_CREAT handling into do_open()Al Viro1-5/+2
Currently path_openat() has "EEXIST on O_EXCL|O_CREAT" checks done on one of the ways out of open_last_lookups(). There are 4 cases: 1) the last component is . or ..; check is not done. 2) we had FMODE_OPENED or FMODE_CREATED set while in lookup_open(); check is not done. 3) symlink to be traversed is found; check is not done (nor should it be) 4) everything else: check done (before complete_walk(), even). In case (1) O_EXCL|O_CREAT ends up failing with -EISDIR - that's open("/tmp/.", O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) Note that in the same conditions open("/tmp", O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) would have yielded EEXIST. Either error is allowed, switching to -EEXIST in these cases would've been more consistent. Case (2) is more subtle; first of all, if we have FMODE_CREATED set, the object hadn't existed prior to the call. The check should not be done in such a case. The rest is problematic, though - we have FMODE_OPENED set (i.e. it went through ->atomic_open() and got successfully opened there) FMODE_CREATED is *NOT* set O_CREAT and O_EXCL are both set. Any such case is a bug - either we failed to set FMODE_CREATED when we had, in fact, created an object (no such instances in the tree) or we have opened a pre-existing file despite having had both O_CREAT and O_EXCL passed. One of those was, in fact caught (and fixed) while sorting out this mess (gfs2 on cold dcache). And in such situations we should fail with EEXIST. Note that for (1) and (4) FMODE_CREATED is not set - for (1) there's nothing in handle_dots() to set it, for (4) we'd explicitly checked that. And (1), (2) and (4) are exactly the cases when we leave the loop in the caller, with do_open() called immediately after that loop. IOW, we can move the check over there, and make it If we have O_CREAT|O_EXCL and after successful pathname resolution FMODE_CREATED is *not* set, we must have run into a preexisting file and should fail with EEXIST.

Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2020-04-02pick_link(): more straightforward handling of allocation failuresAl Viro1-8/+7
pick_link() needs to push onto stack; we start with using two-element array embedded into struct nameidata and the first time we need more than that we switch to separately allocated array. Allocation can fail, of course, and handling of that would be simple enough - we need to drop 'link' and bugger off. However, the things get more complicated in RCU mode. There we must do GFP_ATOMIC allocation. If that fails, we try to switch to non-RCU mode and repeat the allocation. To switch to non-RCU mode we need to grab references to 'link' and to everything in nameidata. The latter done by unlazy_walk(); the former - legitimize_path(). 'link' must go first - after unlazy_walk() we are out of RCU-critical period and it's too late to call legitimize_path() since the references in link->mnt and link->dentry might be pointing to freed and reused memory. So we do legitimize_path(), then unlazy_walk(). And that's where it gets too subtle: what to do if the former fails? We MUST do path_put(link) to avoid leaks. And we can't do that under rcu_read_lock(). Solution in mainline was to empty then nameidata manually, drop out of RCU mode and then do put_path(). In effect, we open-code the things eventual terminate_walk() would've done on error in RCU mode. That looks badly out of place and confusing. We could add a comment along the lines of the explanation above, but... there's a simpler solution. Call unlazy_walk() even if legitimaze_path() fails. It will take us out of RCU mode, so we'll be able to do path_put(link). Yes, it will do unnecessary work - attempt to grab references on the stuff in nameidata, only to have them dropped as soon as we return the error to upper layer and get terminate_walk() called there. So what? We are thoroughly off the fast path by that point - we had GFP_ATOMIC allocation fail, we had ->d_seq or mount_lock mismatch and we are about to try walking the same path from scratch in non-RCU mode. Which will need to do the same allocation, this time with GFP_KERNEL, so it will be able to apply memory pressure for blocking stuff. Compared to that the cost of several lockref_get_not_dead() is noise. And the logics become much easier to understand that way. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2020-04-02pick_link(): pass it struct path already with normal refcounting rulesAl Viro1-6/+6
step_into() tries to avoid grabbing and dropping mount references on the steps that do not involve crossing mountpoints (which is obviously the majority of cases). So it uses a local struct path with unusual refcounting rules - path.mnt is pinned if and only if it's not equal to nd->path.mnt. We used to have similar beasts all over the place and we had quite a few bugs crop up in their handling - it's easy to get confused when changing e.g. cleanup on failure exits (or adding a new check, etc.) Now that's mostly gone - the step_into() instance (which is what we need them for) is the only one left. It is exposed to mount traversal and it's (shortly) seen by pick_link(). Since pick_link() needs to store it in link stack, where the normal rules apply, it has to make sure that mount is pinned regardless of nd->path.mnt value. That's done on all calls of pick_link() and very early in those. Let's do that in the caller (step_into()) instead - that way the fewer places need to be aware of such struct path instances.

2020-04-02non-RCU analogue of the previous commitAl Viro1-17/+39
new helper: choose_mountpoint(). Wrapper around choose_mountpoint_rcu(), similar to lookup_mnt() vs. __lookup_mnt(). follow_dotdot() switched to it. Now we don't grab mount_lock exclusive anymore; note that the primitive used non-RCU mount traversals in other direction (lookup_mnt()) doesn't bother with that either - it uses mount_lock seqcount instead.

2020-04-02helper for mount rootwards traversalAl Viro1-16/+24
The loops in follow_dotdot{_rcu()} are doing the same thing: we have a mount and we want to find out how far up the chain of mounts do we need to go. We follow the chain of mount until we find one that is not directly overmounting the root of another mount. If such a mount is found, we want the location it's mounted upon. If we run out of chain (i.e. get to a mount that is not mounted on anything else) or run into process' root, we report failure. On success, we want (in RCU case) d_seq of resulting location sampled or (in non-RCU case) references to that location acquired. This commit introduces such primitive for RCU case and switches follow_dotdot_rcu() to it; non-RCU case will be go in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2020-04-02follow_dotdot(): be lazy about changing nd->pathAl Viro1-5/+13
Change nd->path only after the loop is done and only in case we hadn't ended up finding ourselves in root. Same for NO_XDEV check.

2020-04-02follow_dotdot_rcu(): be lazy about changing nd->pathAl Viro1-15/+20
Change nd->path only after the loop is done and only in case we hadn't ended up finding ourselves in root. Same for NO_XDEV check. Don't recheck mount_lock on each step either. That separates the "check how far back do we need to go through the mount stack" logics from the rest of .. traversal. Note that the sequence for d_seq/d_inode here is * sample mount_lock seqcount ... * sample d_seq * fetch d_inode * verify mount_lock seqcount The last step makes sure that d_inode value we'd got matches d_seq - it dentry is guaranteed to have been a mountpoint through the entire thing, so its d_inode must have been stable.

2020-04-02follow_dotdot{,_rcu}(): massage loopsAl Viro1-32/+45
The logics in both of them is the same: while true if in process' root // uncommon break if *not* in mount root // normal case find the parent return if at absolute root // very uncommon break move to underlying mountpoint report that we are in root Pull the common path out of the loop: if in process' root // uncommon goto in_root if unlikely(in mount root) while true if at absolute root goto in_root move to underlying mountpoint if in process' root goto in_root if in mount root break; find the parent // we are not in mount root return in_root: report that we are in root The reason for that transformation is that we get to keep the common path straight *and* get a separate block for "move through underlying mountpoints", which will allow to sanitize NO_XDEV handling there. What's more, the pared-down loops will be easier to deal with - in particular, non-RCU case has no need to grab mount_lock and rewriting it to the form that wouldn't do that is a non-trivial change. Better do that with less stuff getting in the way... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2020-03-13link_path_walk(): simplify stack handlingAl Viro1-9/+5
We use nd->stack to store two things: pinning down the symlinks we are resolving and resuming the name traversal when a nested symlink is finished. Currently, nd->depth is used to keep track of both. It's 0 when we call link_path_walk() for the first time (for the pathname itself) and 1 on all subsequent calls (for trailing symlinks, if any). That's fine, as far as pinning symlinks goes - when handling a trailing symlink, the string we are interpreting is the body of symlink pinned down in nd->stack[0]. It's rather inconvenient with respect to handling nested symlinks, though - when we run out of a string we are currently interpreting, we need to decide whether it's a nested symlink (in which case we need to pick the string saved back when we started to interpret that nested symlink and resume its traversal) or not (in which case we are done with link_path_walk()). Current solution is a bit of a kludge - in handling of trailing symlink (in lookup_last() and open_last_lookups() we clear nd->stack[0].name. That allows link_path_walk() to use the following rules when running out of a string to interpret: * if nd->depth is zero, we are at the end of pathname itself. * if nd->depth is positive, check the saved string; for nested symlink it will be non-NULL, for trailing symlink - NULL. It works, but it's rather non-obvious. Note that we have two sets: the set of symlinks currently being traversed and the set of postponed pathname tails. The former is stored in nd->stack[0..nd->depth-1].link and it's valid throught the pathname resolution; the latter is valid only during an individual call of link_path_walk() and it occupies nd->stack[0..nd->depth-1].name for the first call of link_path_walk() and nd->stack[1..nd->depth-1].name for subsequent ones. The kludge is basically a way to recognize the second set becoming empty. The things get simpler if we keep track of the second set's size explicitly and always store it in nd->stack[0..depth-1].name. We access the second set only inside link_path_walk(), so its size can live in a local variable; that way the check becomes trivial without the need of that kludge.
