      inotify: fix double free/corruption of stuct user · d0de4dc5
      Eric Paris 提交于
      On an error path in inotify_init1 a normal user can trigger a double
      free of struct user.  This is a regression introduced by a2ae4cc9
      ("inotify: stop kernel memory leak on file creation failure").
      
      We fix this by making sure that if a group exists the user reference is
      dropped when the group is cleaned up.  We should not explictly drop the
      reference on error and also drop the reference when the group is cleaned
      up.
      
      The new lifetime rules are that an inotify group lives from
      inotify_new_group to the last fsnotify_put_group.  Since the struct user
      and inotify_devs are directly tied to this lifetime they are only
      changed/updated in those two locations.  We get rid of all special
      casing of struct user or user->inotify_devs.

      llseek: automatically add .llseek fop · 6038f373
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
      nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
      .llseek pointer.
      
      The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
      and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
      the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
      the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
      
      New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
      and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
      to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
      relies on calling seek on the device file.
      
      The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
      comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
      chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
      be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
      seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
      
      Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
      the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
      
      Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
      patch that does all this.

      inotify: race use after free/double free in inotify inode marks · e0873344
      Eric Paris 提交于
      There is a race in the inotify add/rm watch code.  A task can find and
      remove a mark which doesn't have all of it's references.  This can
      result in a use after free/double free situation.
      
      Task A					Task B
      ------------				-----------
      inotify_new_watch()
       allocate a mark (refcnt == 1)
       add it to the idr
      					inotify_rm_watch()
      					 inotify_remove_from_idr()
      					  fsnotify_put_mark()
      					      refcnt hits 0, free
       take reference because we are on idr
       [at this point it is a use after free]
       [time goes on]
       refcnt may hit 0 again, double free
      
      The fix is to take the reference BEFORE the object can be found in the
      idr.

      inotify: do not reuse watch descriptors · 9e572cc9
      Eric Paris 提交于
      Since commit 7e790dd5 ("inotify: fix
      error paths in inotify_update_watch") inotify changed the manor in which
      it gave watch descriptors back to userspace.  Previous to this commit
      inotify acted like the following:
      
        inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
        inotify_rm_watch(X, 1);
        inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 2
      
      but after this patch inotify would return watch descriptors like so:
      
        inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
        inotify_rm_watch(X, 1);
        inotify_add_watch(X, Y, Z) = 1
      
      which I saw as equivalent to opening an fd where
      
        open(file) = 1;
        close(1);
        open(file) = 1;
      
      seemed perfectly reasonable.  The issue is that quite a bit of userspace
      apparently relies on the behavior in which watch descriptors will not be
      quickly reused.  KDE relies on it, I know some selinux packages rely on
      it, and I have heard complaints from other random sources such as debian
      bug 558981.
      
      Although the man page implies what we do is ok, we broke userspace so
      this patch almost reverts us to the old behavior.  It is still slightly
      racey and I have patches that would fix that, but they are rather large
      and this will fix it for all real world cases.  The race is as follows:
      
       - task1 creates a watch and blocks in idr_new_watch() before it updates
         the hint.
       - task2 creates a watch and updates the hint.
       - task1 updates the hint with it's older wd
       - task removes the watch created by task2
       - task adds a new watch and will reuse the wd originally given to task2
      
      it requires moving some locking around the hint (last_wd) but this should
      solve it for the real world and be -stable safe.
      
      As a side effect this patch papers over a bug in the lib/idr code which
      is causing a large number WARN's to pop on people's system and many
      reports in kerneloops.org.  I'm working on the root cause of that idr
      bug seperately but this should make inotify immune to that issue.
