Right now we remove MAY_WRITE/MAY_APPEND bits from mask if realfile is on lower/. This is done as files on lower will never be written and will be copied up. But to copy up a file, mounter should have MAY_READ permission otherwise copy up will fail. So set MAY_READ in mask when MAY_WRITE is reset. Dan Walsh noticed this when he did access(lowerfile, W_OK) and it returned True (context mounts) but when he tried to actually write to file, it failed as mounter did not have permission on lower file. [SzM] don't set MAY_READ if only MAY_APPEND is set without MAY_WRITE; this won't trigger a copy-up.

Setting POSIX ACL needs special handling: 1) Some permission checks are done by ->setxattr() which now uses mounter's creds ("ovl: do operations on underlying file system in mounter's context"). These permission checks need to be done with current cred as well. 2) Setting ACL can fail for various reasons. We do not need to copy up in these cases. In the mean time switch to using generic_setxattr. [Arnd Bergmann] Fix link error without POSIX ACL. posix_acl_from_xattr() doesn't have a 'static inline' implementation when CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL is disabled, and I could not come up with an obvious way to do it. This instead avoids the link error by defining two sets of ACL operations and letting the compiler drop one of the two at compile time depending on CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL. This avoids all references to the ACL code, also leading to smaller code. Signed-off-by: NMiklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

Inode attributes are copied up to overlay inode (uid, gid, mode, atime, mtime, ctime) so generic code using these fields works correcty. If a hard link is created in overlayfs separate inodes are allocated for each link. If chmod/chown/etc. is performed on one of the links then the inode belonging to the other ones won't be updated. This patch attempts to fix this by sharing inodes for hard links. Use inode hash (with real inode pointer as a key) to make sure overlay inodes are shared for hard links on upper. Hard links on lower are still split (which is not user observable until the copy-up happens, see Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt under "Non-standard behavior"). The inode is only inserted in the hash if it is non-directoy and upper. Signed-off-by: NMiklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

To get from overlay inode to real inode we currently use 'struct ovl_entry', which has lifetime connected to overlay dentry. This is okay, since each overlay dentry had a new overlay inode allocated. Following patch will break that assumption, so need to leave out ovl_entry. This patch stores the real inode directly in i_private, with the lowest bit used to indicate whether the inode is upper or lower. Lifetime rules remain, using ovl_inode_real() must only be done while caller holds ref on overlay dentry (and hence on real dentry), or within RCU protected regions.

Fix atime update logic in overlayfs. This patch adds an i_op->update_time() handler to overlayfs inodes. This forwards atime updates to the upper layer only. No atime updates are done on lower layers. Remove implicit atime updates to underlying files and directories with O_NOATIME. Remove explicit atime update in ovl_readlink(). Clear atime related mnt flags from cloned upper mount. This means atime updates are controlled purely by overlayfs mount options.

When creating directory in workdir, the group/sgid inheritance from the parent dir was omitted completely. Fix this by calling inode_init_owner() on overlay inode and using the resulting uid/gid/mode to create the file. Unfortunately the sgid bit can be stripped off due to umask, so need to reset the mode in this case in workdir before moving the directory in place.

The fact that we always do permission checking on the overlay inode and clear MAY_WRITE for checking access to the lower inode allows cruft to be removed from ovl_permission(). 1) "default_permissions" option effectively did generic_permission() on the overlay inode with i_mode, i_uid and i_gid updated from underlying filesystem. This is what we do by default now. It did the update using vfs_getattr() but that's only needed if the underlying filesystem can change (which is not allowed). We may later introduce a "paranoia_mode" that verifies that mode/uid/gid are not changed. 2) splitting out the IS_RDONLY() check from inode_permission() also becomes unnecessary once we remove the MAY_WRITE from the lower inode check.

Now we have two levels of checks in ovl_permission(). overlay inode is checked with the creds of task while underlying inode is checked with the creds of mounter. Looks like mounter does not have to have WRITE access to files on lower/. So remove the MAY_WRITE from access mask for checks on underlying lower inode. This means task should still have the MAY_WRITE permission on lower inode and mounter is not required to have MAY_WRITE. It also solves the problem of read only NFS mounts being used as lower. If __inode_permission(lower_inode, MAY_WRITE) is called on read only NFS, it fails. By resetting MAY_WRITE, check succeeds and case of read only NFS shold work with overlay without having to specify any special mount options (default permission).

The hash salting changes meant that we can no longer reuse the hash in the overlay dentry to look up the underlying dentry. Instead of lookup_hash(), use lookup_one_len_unlocked() and swith to mounter's creds (like we do for all other operations later in the series). Now the lookup_hash() export introduced in 4.6 by 3c9fe8cd ("vfs: add lookup_hash() helper") is unused and can possibly be removed; its usefulness negated by the hash salting and the idea that mounter's creds should be used on operations on underlying filesystems.

The upper dentry may become stale before we call ovl_lock_rename_workdir. For example, someone could (mistakenly or maliciously) manually unlink(2) it directly from upperdir. To ensure it is not stale, let's lookup it after ovl_lock_rename_workdir and and check if it matches the upper dentry.

Before 4bacc9c9 ("overlayfs: Make f_path...") file->f_path pointed to the underlying file, hence suid/sgid removal on write worked fine. After that patch file->f_path pointed to the overlay file, and the file mode bits weren't copied to overlay_inode->i_mode. So the suid/sgid removal simply stopped working. The fix is to copy the mode bits, but then ovl_setattr() needs to clear ATTR_MODE to avoid the BUG() in notify_change(). So do this first, then in the next patch copy the mode.

overlay needs underlying fs to support d_type. Recently I put in a patch in to detect this condition and started failing mount if underlying fs did not support d_type. But this breaks existing configurations over kernel upgrade. Those who are running docker (partially broken configuration) with xfs not supporting d_type, are surprised that after kernel upgrade docker does not run anymore. https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/22937#issuecomment-229881315 So instead of erroring out, detect broken configuration and warn about it.

(Another one for the f_path debacle.) ltp fcntl33 testcase caused an Oops in selinux_file_send_sigiotask. The reason is that generic_add_lease() used filp->f_path.dentry->inode while all the others use file_inode(). This makes a difference for files opened on overlayfs since the former will point to the overlay inode the latter to the underlying inode. So generic_add_lease() added the lease to the overlay inode and generic_delete_lease() removed it from the underlying inode. When the file was released the lease remained on the overlay inode's lock list, resulting in use after free.

- m_start() in fs/namespace.c expects that ns->event is incremented each time a mount added or removed from ns->list. - umount_tree() removes items from the list but does not increment event counter, expecting that it's done before the function is called. - There are some codepaths that call umount_tree() without updating "event" counter. e.g. from __detach_mounts(). - When this happens m_start may reuse a cached mount structure that no longer belongs to ns->list (i.e. use after free which usually leads to infinite loop). This change fixes the above problem by incrementing global event counter before invoking umount_tree().

The simple_write_to_buffer() already increments the @ppos on success, see fs/libfs.c simple_write_to_buffer() comment: " On success, the number of bytes written is returned and the offset @ppos advanced by this number, or negative value is returned on error. " If the configfs_write_bin_file() is invoked with @count smaller than the total length of the written binary file, it will be invoked multiple times. Since configfs_write_bin_file() increments @ppos on success, after calling simple_write_to_buffer(), the @ppos is incremented twice. Subsequent invocation of configfs_write_bin_file() will result in the next piece of data being written to the offset twice as long as the length of the previous write, thus creating buffer with "holes" in it. The simple testcase using DTO follows: $ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/1 $ dd bs=1 if=foo.dtbo of=/sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/1/dtbo Without this patch, the testcase will result in twice as big buffer in the kernel, which is then passed to the cfs_overlay_item_dtbo_write() .

The two methods essentially do the same: find the real dentry/inode belonging to an overlay dentry. The difference is in the usage: vfs_open() uses ->d_select_inode() and expects the function to perform copy-up if necessary based on the open flags argument. file_dentry() uses ->d_real() passing in the overlay dentry as well as the underlying inode. vfs_rename() uses ->d_select_inode() but passes zero flags. ->d_real() with a zero inode would have worked just as well here. This patch merges the functionality of ->d_select_inode() into ->d_real() by adding an 'open_flags' argument to the latter. [Al Viro] Make the signature of d_real() match that of ->d_real() again.

This isn't functionally apparent for some reason, but when we test io at extreme offsets at the end of the loff_t rang, such as in fstests xfs/071, the calculation of "max" in dax_io() can be wrong due to pos + size overflowing. For example, # xfs_io -c "pwrite 9223372036854771712 512" /mnt/test/file enters dax_io with: start 0x7ffffffffffff000 end 0x7ffffffffffff200 and the rounded up "size" variable is 0x1000. This yields: pos + size 0x8000000000000000 (overflows loff_t) end 0x7ffffffffffff200 Due to the overflow, the min() function picks the wrong value for the "max" variable, and when we send (max - pos) into i.e. copy_from_iter_pmem() it is also the wrong value. This somehow(tm) gets magically absorbed without incident, probably because iter->count is correct. But it seems best to fix it up properly by comparing the two values as unsigned.
