2010-08-02security: make LSMs explicitly mask off permissionsEric Paris
SELinux needs to pass the MAY_ACCESS flag so it can handle auditting correctly. Presently the masking of MAY_* flags is done in the VFS. In order to allow LSMs to decide what flags they care about and what flags they don't just pass them all and the each LSM mask off what they don't need. This patch should contain no functional changes to either the VFS or any LSM. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: Stephen D.

When commit be6d3e56a6b9b3a4ee44a0685e39e595073c6f0d "introduce new LSM hooks where vfsmount is available." was proposed, regarding security_path_truncate(), only "struct file *" argument (which AppArmor wanted to use) was removed. But length and time_attrs arguments are not used by TOMOYO nor AppArmor. Thus, let's remove these arguments.

2010-07-28fsnotify: use unsigned char * for dentry->d_name.nameEric Paris
fsnotify was using char * when it passed around the d_name.name string internally but it is actually an unsigned char *. This patch switches fsnotify to use unsigned and should silence some pointer signess warnings which have popped out of xfs. I do not add -Wpointer-sign to the fsnotify code as there are still issues with kstrdup and strlen which would pop out needless warnings. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-05-27VFS: fix recent breakage of FS_REVAL_DOTNeil Brown
Commit 1f36f774b22a0ceb7dd33eca626746c81a97b6a5 broke FS_REVAL_DOT semantics. In particular, before this patch, the command ls -l in an NFS mounted directory would always check if the directory on the server had changed and if so would flush and refill the pagecache for the dir. After this patch, the same "ls -l" will repeatedly return stale date until the cached attributes for the directory time out. The following patch fixes this by ensuring the d_revalidate is called by do_last when "." is being looked-up. link_path_walk has already called d_revalidate, but in that case LOOKUP_OPEN is not set so nfs_lookup_verify_inode chooses not to do any validation. The following patch restores the original behaviour. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2010-05-15Fix the regression created by "set S_DEAD on unlink()..." commitAl Viro
1) i_flags simply doesn't work for mount/unlink race prevention; we may have many links to file and rm on one of those obviously shouldn't prevent bind on top of another later on. To fix it right way we need to mark _dentry_ as unsuitable for mounting upon; new flag (DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT) is protected by d_flags and i_mutex on the inode in question. Set it (with dont_mount(dentry)) in unlink/rmdir/etc., check (with cant_mount(dentry)) in places in namespace.c that used to check for S_DEAD. Setting S_DEAD is still needed in places where we used to set it (for directories getting killed), since we rely on it for readdir/rmdir race prevention. 2) rename()/mount() protection has another bogosity - we unhash the target before we'd checked that it's not a mountpoint. Fixed. 3) ancient bogosity in pivot_root() - we locked i_mutex on the right directory, but checked S_DEAD on the different (and wrong) one. Noticed and fixed.

2010-03-05dquot: move dquot initialization responsibility into the filesystemChristoph Hellwig
Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly. This means we tie the quota code into the VFS. Get rid of that and make the filesystem responsible for the initialization. For most metadata operations this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and open it's a bit more complicated. For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless. For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method, which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files. The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations for directories. Add a dquot_file_open helper that filesystems that support generic quotas can use to fill in ->open. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

The "Untangling ima mess, part 2 with counters" patch messed up the counters. Based on conversations with Al Viro, this patch streamlines ima_path_check() by removing the counter maintaince. The counters are now updated independently, from measuring the file, in __dentry_open() and alloc_file() by calling ima_counts_get(). ima_path_check() is called from nfsd and do_filp_open(). It also did not measure all files that should have been measured. Reason: ima_path_check() got bogus value passed as mask.

2010-01-14fix autofs/afs/etc. magic mountpoint breakageAl Viro
We end up trying to kfree() nd.last.name on open("/mnt/tmp", O_CREAT) if /mnt/tmp is an autofs direct mount. The reason is that nd.last_type is bogus here; we want LAST_BIND for everything of that kind and we get LAST_NORM left over from finding parent directory. So make sure that it *is* set properly; set to LAST_BIND before doing ->follow_link() - for normal symlinks it will be changed by __vfs_follow_link() and everything else needs it set that way.

2009-12-30generic_permission: MAY_OPEN is not write accessSerge E. Hallyn

2009-12-16vfs: force reval of target when following LAST_BIND symlinks (try #7)Jeff Layton
procfs-style symlinks return a last_type of LAST_BIND without an actual path string. This causes __follow_link to skip calling __vfs_follow_link and so the dentry isn't revalidated. This is a problem when the link target sits on NFSv4 as it depends on the VFS to revalidate the dentry before using it on an open call. Ensure that this occurs by forcing a revalidation of the target dentry of LAST_BIND symlinks. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.
