2007-11-20[CIFS] Fix potential data corruption when writing out cached dirty pagesJeff Layton
Fix RedHat bug 329431 The idea here is separate "conscious" from "unconscious" flushes. Conscious flushes are those due to a fsync() or close(). Unconscious ones are flushes that occur as a side effect of some other operation or due to memory pressure. Currently, when an error occurs during an unconscious flush (ENOSPC or EIO), we toss out the page and don't preserve that error to report to the user when a conscious flush occurs. If after the unconscious flush, there are no more dirty pages for the inode, the conscious flush will simply return success even though there were previous errors when writing out pages. This can lead to data corruption. The easiest way to reproduce this is to mount up a CIFS share that's very close to being full or where the user is very close to quota. mv a file to the share that's slightly larger than the quota allows. The writes will all succeed (since they go to pagecache). The mv will do a setattr to set the new file's attributes. This calls filemap_write_and_wait, which will return an error since all of the pages can't be written out. Then later, when the flush and release ops occur, there are no more dirty pages in pagecache for the file and those operations return 0. mv then assumes that the file was written out correctly and deletes the original. CIFS already has a write_behind_rc variable where it stores the results from earlier flushes, but that value is only reported in cifs_close. Since the VFS ignores the return value from the release operation, this isn't helpful. We should be reporting this error during the flush operation. This patch does the following: 1) changes cifs_fsync to use filemap_write_and_wait and cifs_flush and also sync to check its return code. If it returns successful, they then check the value of write_behind_rc to see if an earlier flush had reported any errors. If so, they return that error and clear write_behind_rc. 2) sets write_behind_rc in a few other places where pages are written out as a side effect of other operations and the code waits on them. 3) changes cifs_setattr to only call filemap_write_and_wait for ATTR_SIZE changes. 4) makes cifs_writepages accurately distinguish between EIO and ENOSPC errors when writing out pages. Some simple testing indicates that the patch works as expected and that it fixes the reproduceable known problem.

2007-11-16[CIFS] Have CIFS_SessSetup build correct SPNEGO SessionSetup requestSteve French
Have CIFS_SessSetup call cifs_get_spnego_key when Kerberos is negotiated. Use the info in the key payload to build a session setup request packet. Also clean up how the request buffer in the function is freed on error. With appropriate user space helper (in samba/source/client). Kerberos support (secure session establishment can be done now via Kerberos, previously users would have to use NTLMv2 instead for more secure session setup).

2007-11-09[CIFS] fix oops on second mount to same server when null auth is usedJeff Layton
When a share is mounted using no username, cifs_mount sets volume_info.username as a NULL pointer, and the sesInfo userName as an empty string. The volume_info.username is passed to a couple of other functions to see if there is an existing unc or tcp connection that can be used. These functions assume that the username will be a valid string that can be passed to strncmp. If the pointer is NULL, then the kernel will oops if there's an existing session to which the string can be compared. This patch changes cifs_mount to set volume_info.username to an empty string in this situation, which prevents the oops and should make it so that the comparison to other null auth sessions match.

2007-11-01[CIFS] when mount helper missing fix slash wrong direction in shareSteve French
Kernel bugzilla bug #9228 If mount helper (mount.cifs) missing, mounts with form like //10.11.12.13/c$ would not work (only mounts with slash e.g. //10.11.12.13\\c$ would work) due to problem with slash supposed to be converted to backslash by the mount helper (which is not there). If we fail on converting an IPv4 address in in4_pton then try to canonicalize the first slash (ie between sharename and host ip address) if necessary. If we have to retry to check for IPv6 address the slash is already converted if necessary. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

2007-10-17[CIFS] fix bad handling of EAGAIN error on kernel_recvmsg in ↵Steve French
cifs_demultiplex_thread When kernel_recvmsg returns -EAGAIN or -ERESTARTSYS, then cifs_demultiplex_thread sleeps for a bit and then tries the read again. When it does this, it's not zeroing out the length and that throws off the value of total_read. Fix it to zero out the length. Can cause memory corruption: If kernel_recvmsg returns an error and total_read is a large enough value, then we'll end up going through the loop again. total_read will be a bogus value, as will (pdu_length-total_read). When this happens we end up calling kernel_recvmsg with a bogus value (possibly larger than the current iov_len). At that point, memcpy_toiovec can overrun iov. It will start walking up the stack, casting other things that are there to struct iovecs (since it assumes that it's been passed an array of them). Any pointer on the stack at an address above the kvec is a candidate for corruption here. Many thanks to Ulrich Obergfell for pointing this out.

2007-08-24[CIFS] Byte range unlock request to non-Unix server can unlock too muchJeff Layton
On a mount without posix extensions enabled, when an unlock request is made, the client can release more than is intended. To reproduce, on a CIFS mount without posix extensions enabled: 1) open file 2) do fcntl lock: start=0 len=1 3) do fcntl lock: start=2 len=1 4) do fcntl unlock: start=0 len=1 ...on the unlock call the client sends an unlock request to the server for both locks.

2007-07-06[CIFS] Mount should fail if server signing off but client mount option ↵Jeff
requires it Currently, if mount with a signing-enabled sec= option (e.g. sec=ntlmi), the kernel does a warning printk if the server doesn't support signing, and then proceeds without signatures. This is probably OK for people that think to look at the ring buffer, but seems wrong to me. If someone explicitly requests signing, we should error out if that request can't be satisfied. They can then reattempt the mount without signing if that's ok. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>

2007-05-05[CIFS] Make sec=none force an anonymous mountJeff Layton
We had a customer report that attempting to make CIFS mount with a null username (i.e. doing an anonymous mount) doesn't work. Looking through the code, it looks like CIFS expects a NULL username from userspace in order to trigger an anonymous mount. The mount.cifs code doesn't seem to ever pass a null username to the kernel, however. It looks also like the kernel can take a sec=none option, but it only seems to look at it if the username is already NULL. This seems redundant and effectively makes sec=none useless. The following patch makes sec=none force an anonymous mount. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
2007-04-30[CIFS] UID/GID override on CIFS mounts to SambaSteve French
When CIFS Unix Extensions are negotiated we get the Unix uid and gid owners of the file from the server (on the Unix Query Path Info levels), but if the server's uids don't match the client uid's users were having to disable the Unix Extensions (which turned off features they still wanted). The changeset patch allows users to override uid and/or gid for file/directory owner with a default uid and/or gid specified at mount (as is often done when mounting from Linux cifs client to Windows server). This changeset also displays the uid and gid used by default in /proc/mounts (if applicable). Also cleans up code by adding some of the missing spaces after "if" keywords per-kernel style guidelines (as suggested by Randy Dunlap when he reviewed the patch).

2007-04-25[CIFS] Add IPv6 supportSteve French
IPv6 support was started a few years ago in the cifs client, but lacked a kernel helper function for parsing the ascii form of the ipv6 address. Now that that is added (and now IPv6 is the default that some OS use now) it was fairly easy to finish the cifs ipv6 support. This requires that CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL be enabled and (at least until the mount.cifs module is modified to use a new ipv6 friendly call instead of gethostbyname) and the ipv6 address be passed on the mount as "ip=" mount option.

NTLMv2 authentication (stronger authentication than default NTLM) which many servers support now works. There was a problem with the construction of the security blob in the older code. Currently requires /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental to be set to 2 and /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags to be set to 0x4004 (to require using NTLMv2 instead of default of NTLM) Next we will check signing to make sure optional NTLMv2 packet signing also works.
