      fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules. · 7f78e035
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
      and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
      to match.
      
      A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
      that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
      users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
      
      Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
      modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
      making things safer with no real cost.
      
      Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
      filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
      with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
      well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
      
      This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
      name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
      would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
      cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
      autofs4.
      
      This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
      module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
      people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
      the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
      
      After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
      particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
      making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
      module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
      without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
      module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
      Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
      filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
      namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
      which most filesystems do not set today.

      vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry op · ecf3d1f1
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      The following set of operations on a NFS client and server will cause
      
          server# mkdir a
          client# cd a
          server# mv a a.bak
          client# sleep 30  # (or whatever the dir attrcache timeout is)
          client# stat .
          stat: cannot stat `.': Stale NFS file handle
      
      Obviously, we should not be getting an ESTALE error back there since the
      inode still exists on the server. The problem is that the lookup code
      will call d_revalidate on the dentry that "." refers to, because NFS has
      FS_REVAL_DOT set.
      
      nfs_lookup_revalidate will see that the parent directory has changed and
      will try to reverify the dentry by redoing a LOOKUP. That of course
      fails, so the lookup code returns ESTALE.
      
      The problem here is that d_revalidate is really a bad fit for this case.
      What we really want to know at this point is whether the inode is still
      good or not, but we don't really care what name it goes by or whether
      the dcache is still valid.
      
      Add a new d_op->d_weak_revalidate operation and have complete_walk call
      that instead of d_revalidate. The intent there is to allow for a
      "weaker" d_revalidate that just checks to see whether the inode is still
      good. This is also gives us an opportunity to kill off the FS_REVAL_DOT
      special casing.

      having it possibly called from RCU mode (it won't be)]

      mm: redefine address_space.assoc_mapping · 252aa6f5
      Rafael Aquini 提交于
      Overhaul struct address_space.assoc_mapping renaming it to
      address_space.private_data and its type is redefined to void*.  By this
      approach we consistently name the .private_* elements from struct
      address_space as well as allow extended usage for address_space
      association with other data structures through ->private_data.
      
      Also, all users of old ->assoc_mapping element are converted to reflect
      its new name and type change (->private_data).
