fscrypt: clean up and improve dentry revalidation

2020-11-05T10:08:35Z

commit 6cc248684d3d23bbd073ae2fa73d3416c0558909 upstream. Make various improvements to fscrypt dentry revalidation: - Don't try to handle the case where the per-directory key is removed, as this can't happen without the inode (and dentries) being evicted. - Flag ciphertext dentries rather than plaintext dentries, since it's ciphertext dentries that need the special handling. - Avoid doing unnecessary work for non-ciphertext dentries. - When revalidating ciphertext dentries, try to set up the directory's i_crypt_info to make sure the key is really still absent, rather than invalidating all negative dentries as the previous code did. An old comment suggested we can't do this for locking reasons, but AFAICT this comment was outdated and it actually works fine.

dcache: sort the freeing-without-RCU-delay mess for good.

2019-05-25T16:23:26Z

commit 5467a68cbf6884c9a9d91e2a89140afb1839c835 upstream. For lockless accesses to dentries we don't have pinned we rely (among other things) upon having an RCU delay between dropping the last reference and actually freeing the memory. On the other hand, for things like pipes and sockets we neither do that kind of lockless access, nor want to deal with the overhead of an RCU delay every time a socket gets closed. So delay was made optional - setting DCACHE_RCUACCESS in ->d_flags made sure it would happen. We tried to avoid setting it unless we knew we need it. Unfortunately, that had led to recurring class of bugs, in which we missed the need to set it. We only really need it for dentries that are created by d_alloc_pseudo(), so let's not bother with trying to be smart - just make having an RCU delay the default. The ones that do *not* get it set the replacement flag (DCACHE_NORCU) and we'd better use that sparingly. d_alloc_pseudo() is the only such user right now. FWIW, the race that finally prompted that switch had been between __lock_parent() of immediate subdirectory of what's currently the root of a disconnected tree (e.g. from open-by-handle in progress) racing with d_splice_alias() elsewhere picking another alias for the same inode, either on outright corrupted fs image, or (in case of open-by-handle on NFS) that subdirectory having been just moved on server. It's not easy to hit, so the sky is not falling, but that's not the first race on similar missed cases and the logics for settinf DCACHE_RCUACCESS has gotten ridiculously convoluted.

kill d_instantiate_no_diralias()

2018-08-02T03:18:53Z

The only user is fuse_create_new_entry(), and there it's used to mitigate the same mkdir/open-by-handle race as in nfs_mkdir(). The same solution applies - unhash the mkdir argument, then call d_splice_alias() and if that returns a reference to preexisting alias, dput() and report success. ->mkdir() argument left unhashed negative with the preexisting alias moved in the right place is just fine from the ->mkdir() callers point of view.

do d_instantiate/unlock_new_inode combinations safely

2018-05-11T19:36:37Z

For anything NFS-exported we do _not_ want to unlock new inode before it has grown an alias; original set of fixes got the ordering right, but missed the nasty complication in case of lockdep being enabled - unlock_new_inode() does lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key(inode) which can only be done before anyone gets a chance to touch ->i_mutex. Unfortunately, flipping the order and doing unlock_new_inode() before d_instantiate() opens a window when mkdir can race with open-by-fhandle on a guessed fhandle, leading to multiple aliases for a directory inode and all the breakage that follows from that. Correct solution: a new primitive (d_instantiate_new()) combining these two in the right order - lockdep annotate, then d_instantiate(), then the rest of unlock_new_inode(). All combinations of d_instantiate() with unlock_new_inode() should be converted to that.
