audit,io_uring: io_uring openat triggers audit reference count underflow

2023-10-25T10:16:11Z

commit 03adc61edad49e1bbecfb53f7ea5d78f398fe368 upstream. An io_uring openat operation can update an audit reference count from multiple threads resulting in the call trace below. A call to io_uring_submit() with a single openat op with a flag of IOSQE_ASYNC results in the following reference count updates. These first part of the system call performs two increments that do not race. do_syscall_64() __do_sys_io_uring_enter() io_submit_sqes() io_openat_prep() __io_openat_prep() getname() getname_flags() /* update 1 (increment) */ __audit_getname() /* update 2 (increment) */ The openat op is queued to an io_uring worker thread which starts the opportunity for a race. The system call exit performs one decrement. do_syscall_64() syscall_exit_to_user_mode() syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare() __audit_syscall_exit() audit_reset_context() putname() /* update 3 (decrement) */ The io_uring worker thread performs one increment and two decrements. These updates can race with the system call decrement. io_wqe_worker() io_worker_handle_work() io_wq_submit_work() io_issue_sqe() io_openat() io_openat2() do_filp_open() path_openat() __audit_inode() /* update 4 (increment) */ putname() /* update 5 (decrement) */ __audit_uring_exit() audit_reset_context() putname() /* update 6 (decrement) */ The fix is to change the refcnt member of struct audit_names from int to atomic_t. kernel BUG at fs/namei.c:262!

vfs: get rid of old '->iterate' directory operation

2023-08-06T13:08:35Z

All users now just use '->iterate_shared()', which only takes the directory inode lock for reading. Filesystems that never got convered to shared mode now instead use a wrapper that drops the lock, re-takes it in write mode, calls the old function, and then downgrades the lock back to read mode. This way the VFS layer and other callers no longer need to care about filesystems that never got converted to the modern era. The filesystems that use the new wrapper are ceph, coda, exfat, jfs, ntfs, ocfs2, overlayfs, and vboxsf. Honestly, several of them look like they really could just iterate their directories in shared mode and skip the wrapper entirely, but the point of this change is to not change semantics or fix filesystems that haven't been fixed in the last 7+ years, but to finally get rid of the dual iterators.

Pull networking changes from Jakub Kicinski: "WiFi 7 and sendpage changes are the biggest pieces of work for this release. The latter will definitely require fixes but I think that we got it to a reasonable point. Core: - Rework the sendpage & splice implementations Instead of feeding data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg handlers to support taking a reference on the data, controlled by a new flag called MSG_SPLICE_PAGES Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file to invoke an additional callback instead of trying to predict what the right combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely - Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid - Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT - Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker - Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families Protocols: - Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to tcp_rmem[2] - Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy - Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags - Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative - Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info (MPTCP_FULL_INFO) - Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full record - Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the way to issuing ioctls over io_uring - Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address - Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch - PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable - Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client (ipconfig) - Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers (e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge) - Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets - Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their printk level to debug - HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto - Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4 - Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7 BPF: - Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs, especially those using open-coded iterators - Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data. But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the output buffer *should* be, without writing anything - Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers - Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper - Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands - Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark maps as read-only) - Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo - Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are self-explanatory): - Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(), bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size() and bpf_dynptr_clone(). - bpf_task_under_cgroup() - bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets - bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs Netfilter: - Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables.

Pull splice updates from Jens Axboe: "This kills off ITER_PIPE to avoid a race between truncate, iov_iter_revert() on the pipe and an as-yet incomplete DMA to a bio with unpinned/unref'ed pages from an O_DIRECT splice read. This causes memory corruption. Instead, we either use (a) filemap_splice_read(), which invokes the buffered file reading code and splices from the pagecache into the pipe; (b) copy_splice_read(), which bulk-allocates a buffer, reads into it and then pushes the filled pages into the pipe; or (c) handle it in filesystem-specific code. Summary: - Rename direct_splice_read() to copy_splice_read() - Simplify the calculations for the number of pages to be reclaimed in copy_splice_read() - Turn do_splice_to() into a helper, vfs_splice_read(), so that it can be used by overlayfs and coda to perform the checks on the lower fs - Make vfs_splice_read() jump to copy_splice_read() to handle direct-I/O and DAX - Provide shmem with its own splice_read to handle non-existent pages in the pagecache.

Pull vfs file handling updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains Amir's work to fix a long-standing problem where an unprivileged overlayfs mount can be used to avoid fanotify permission events that were requested for an inode or superblock on the underlying filesystem. Some background about files opened in overlayfs. If a file is opened in overlayfs @file->f_path will refer to a "fake" path. What this means is that while @file->f_inode will refer to inode of the underlying layer, @file->f_path refers to an overlayfs {dentry,vfsmount} pair. The reasons for doing this are out of scope here but it is the reason why the vfs has been providing the open_with_fake_path() helper for overlayfs for very long time now. So nothing new here. This is for sure not very elegant and everyone including the overlayfs maintainers agree. Improving this significantly would involve more fragile and potentially rather invasive changes. In various codepaths access to the path of the underlying filesystem is needed for such hybrid file. The best example is fsnotify where this becomes security relevant. Passing the overlayfs @file->f_path->dentry will cause fsnotify to skip generating fsnotify events registered on the underlying inode or superblock. To fix this we extend the vfs provided open_with_fake_path() concept for overlayfs to create a backing file container that holds the real path and to expose a helper that can be used by relevant callers to get access to the path of the underlying filesystem through the new file_real_path() helper. This pattern is similar to what we do in d_real() and d_real_inode(). The first beneficiary is fsnotify and fixes the security sensitive problem mentioned above. There's a couple of nice cleanups included as well. Over time, the old open_with_fake_path() helper added specifically for overlayfs a long time ago started to get used in other places such as cachefiles. Even though cachefiles have nothing to do with hybrid files. The only reason cachefiles used that concept was that files opened with open_with_fake_path() aren't charged against the caller's open file limit by raising FMODE_NOACCOUNT. It's just mere coincidence that both overlayfs and cachefiles need to ensure to not overcharge the caller for their internal open calls. So this work disentangles FMODE_NOACCOUNT use cases and backing file use-cases by adding the FMODE_BACKING flag which indicates that the file can be used to retrieve the backing file of another filesystem. (Fyi, Jens will be sending you a really nice cleanup from Christoph that gets rid of 3 FMODE_* flags otherwise this would be the last fmode_t bit we'd be using.) So now overlayfs becomes the sole user of the renamed open_with_fake_path() helper which is now named backing_file_open(). For internal kernel users such as cachefiles that are only interested in FMODE_NOACCOUNT but not in FMODE_BACKING we add a new kernel_file_open() helper which opens a file without being charged against the caller's open file limit. All new helpers are properly documented and clearly annotated to mention their special uses. We also rename vfs_tmpfile_open() to kernel_tmpfile_open() to clearly distinguish it from vfs_tmpfile() and align it the other kernel_*() internal helpers" * tag 'v6.5/vfs.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: ovl: enable fsnotify events on underlying real files fs: use backing_file container for internal files with "fake" f_path fs: move kmem_cache_zalloc() into alloc_empty_file*() helpers fs: use a helper for opening kernel internal files fs: rename {vfs,kernel}_tmpfile_open()

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual fs Features: - Use mode 0600 for file created by cachefilesd so it can be run by unprivileged users. This aligns them with directories which are already created with mode 0700 by cachefilesd - Reorder a few members in struct file to prevent some false sharing scenarios - Indicate that an eventfd is used a semaphore in the eventfd's fdinfo procfs file - Add a missing uapi header for eventfd exposing relevant uapi defines - Let the VFS protect transitions of a superblock from read-only to read-write in addition to the protection it already provides for transitions from read-write to read-only. Protecting read-only to read-write transitions allows filesystems such as ext4 to perform internal writes, keeping writers away until the transition is completed Cleanups: - Arnd removed the architecture specific arch_report_meminfo() prototypes and added a generic one into procfs.h. Note, we got a report about a warning in amdpgpu codepaths that suggested this was bisectable to this change but we concluded it was a false positive - Remove unused parameters from split_fs_names() - Rename put_and_unmap_page() to unmap_and_put_page() to let the name reflect the order of the cleanup operation that has to unmap before the actual put - Unexport buffer_check_dirty_writeback() as it is not used outside of block device aops - Stop allocating aio rings from highmem - Protecting read-{only,write} transitions in the VFS used open-coded barriers in various places. Replace them with proper little helpers and document both the helpers and all barrier interactions involved when transitioning between read-{only,write} states - Use flexible array members in old readdir codepaths Fixes: - Use the correct type __poll_t for epoll and eventfd - Replace all deprecated strlcpy() invocations, whose return value isn't checked with an equivalent strscpy() call - Fix some kernel-doc warnings in fs/open.c - Reduce the stack usage in jffs2's xattr codepaths finally getting rid of this: fs/jffs2/xattr.c:887:1: error: the frame size of 1088 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] royally annoying compilation warning - Use __FMODE_NONOTIFY instead of FMODE_NONOTIFY where an int and not fmode_t is required to avoid fmode_t to integer degradation warnings - Create coredumps with O_WRONLY instead of O_RDWR. There's a long explanation in that commit how O_RDWR is actually a bug which we found out with the help of Linus and git archeology - Fix "no previous prototype" warnings in the pipe codepaths - Add overflow calculations for remap_verify_area() as a signed addition overflow could be triggered in xfstests - Fix a null pointer dereference in sysv - Use an unsigned variable for length calculations in jfs avoiding compilation warnings with gcc 13 - Fix a dangling pipe pointer in the watch queue codepath - The legacy mount option parser provided as a fallback by the VFS for filesystems not yet converted to the new mount api did prefix the generated mount option string with a leading ',' causing issues for some filesystems - Fix a repeated word in a comment in fs.h - autofs: Update the ctime when mtime is updated as mandated by POSIX" * tag 'v6.5/vfs.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (27 commits) readdir: Replace one-element arrays with flexible-array members fs: Provide helpers for manipulating sb->s_readonly_remount fs: Protect reconfiguration of sb read-write from racing writes eventfd: add a uapi header for eventfd userspace APIs autofs: set ctime as well when mtime changes on a dir eventfd: show the EFD_SEMAPHORE flag in fdinfo fs/aio: Stop allocating aio rings from HIGHMEM fs: Fix comment typo fs: unexport buffer_check_dirty_writeback fs: avoid empty option when generating legacy mount string watch_queue: prevent dangling pipe pointer fs.h: Optimize file struct to prevent false sharing highmem: Rename put_and_unmap_page() to unmap_and_put_page() cachefiles: Allow the cache to be non-root init: remove unused names parameter in split_fs_names() jfs: Use unsigned variable for length calculations fs/sysv: Null check to prevent null-ptr-deref bug fs: use UB-safe check for signed addition overflow in remap_verify_area procfs: consolidate arch_report_meminfo declaration fs: pipe: reveal missing function protoypes ...
