fs: introduce MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP

2021-01-24T13:43:45Z

Introduce a new mount bind mount property to allow idmapping mounts. The MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag can be set via the new mount_setattr() syscall together with a file descriptor referring to a user namespace. The user namespace referenced by the namespace file descriptor will be attached to the bind mount. All interactions with the filesystem going through that mount will be mapped according to the mapping specified in the user namespace attached to it. Using user namespaces to mark mounts means we can reuse all the existing infrastructure in the kernel that already exists to handle idmappings and can also use this for permission checking to allow unprivileged user to create idmapped mounts in the future. Idmapping a mount is decoupled from the caller's user and mount namespace. This means idmapped mounts can be created in the initial user namespace which is an important use-case for systemd-homed, portable usb-sticks between systems, sharing data between the initial user namespace and unprivileged containers, and other use-cases that have been brought up. For example, assume a home directory where all files are owned by uid and gid 1000 and the home directory is brought to a new laptop where the user has id 12345. The system administrator can simply create a mount of this home directory with a mapping of 1000:12345:1 and other mappings to indicate the ids should be kept. (With this it is e.g. also possible to create idmapped mounts on the host with an identity mapping 1:1:100000 where the root user is not mapped. A user with root access that e.g. has been pivot rooted into such a mount on the host will be not be able to execute, read, write, or create files as root.) Given that mapping a mount is decoupled from the caller's user namespace a sufficiently privileged process such as a container manager can set up an idmapped mount for the container and the container can simply pivot root to it. There's no need for the container to do anything. The mount will appear correctly mapped independent of the user namespace the container uses. This means we don't need to mark a mount as idmappable. In order to create an idmapped mount the caller must currently be privileged in the user namespace of the superblock the mount belongs to. Once a mount has been idmapped we don't allow it to change its mapping. This keeps permission checking and life-cycle management simple. Users wanting to change the idmapped can always create a new detached mount with a different idmapping.

mount: attach mappings to mounts

2021-01-24T13:27:15Z

In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount. By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace. The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not idmapped. All operations behave as before. Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is currently marked with. Later patches enforce that once a mount has been idmapped it can't be remapped. This keeps permission checking and life-cycle management simple. Users wanting to change the idmapped can always create a new detached mount with a different idmapping. Add a new mnt_userns member to vfsmount and two simple helpers to retrieve the mnt_userns from vfsmounts and files. The idea to attach user namespaces to vfsmounts has been floated around in various forms at Linux Plumbers in ~2018 with the original idea tracing back to a discussion in 2017 at a conference in St. Petersburg between Christoph, Tycho, and myself.

vfs: don't unnecessarily clone write access for writable fds

2021-01-04T19:02:08Z

There's no need for mnt_want_write_file() to increment mnt_writers when the file is already open for writing, provided that mnt_drop_write_file() is changed to conditionally decrement it. We seem to have ended up in the current situation because mnt_want_write_file() used to be paired with mnt_drop_write(), due to mnt_drop_write_file() not having been added yet. So originally mnt_want_write_file() had to always increment mnt_writers. But later mnt_drop_write_file() was added, and all callers of mnt_want_write_file() were paired with it. This makes the compatibility between mnt_want_write_file() and mnt_drop_write() no longer necessary. Therefore, make __mnt_want_write_file() and __mnt_drop_write_file() skip incrementing mnt_writers on files already open for writing. This removes the only caller of mnt_clone_write(), so remove that too. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Add a "nosymfollow" mount option.

2020-08-27T20:06:47Z

For mounts that have the new "nosymfollow" option, don't follow symlinks when resolving paths. The new option is similar in spirit to the existing "nodev", "noexec", and "nosuid" options, as well as to the LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS resolve flag in the openat2(2) syscall. Various BSD variants have been supporting the "nosymfollow" mount option for a long time with equivalent implementations. Note that symlinks may still be created on file systems mounted with the "nosymfollow" option present. readlink() remains functional, so user space code that is aware of symlinks can still choose to follow them explicitly. Setting the "nosymfollow" mount option helps prevent privileged writers from modifying files unintentionally in case there is an unexpected link along the accessed path. The "nosymfollow" option is thus useful as a defensive measure for systems that need to deal with untrusted file systems in privileged contexts.

ovl: make private mounts longterm

2020-06-04T08:48:19Z

Overlayfs is using clone_private_mount() to create internal mounts for underlying layers. These are used for operations requiring a path, such as dentry_open(). Since these private mounts are not in any namespace they are treated as short term, "detached" mounts and mntput() involves taking the global mount_lock, which can result in serious cacheline pingpong. Make these private mounts longterm instead, which trade the penalty on mntput() for a slightly longer shutdown time due to an added RCU grace period when putting these mounts. Introduce a new helper kern_unmount_many() that can take care of multiple longterm mounts with a single RCU grace period. Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

proc/mounts: add cursor

2020-05-14T14:44:24Z

If mounts are deleted after a read(2) call on /proc/self/mounts (or its kin), the subsequent read(2) could miss a mount that comes after the deleted one in the list. This is because the file position is interpreted as the number mount entries from the start of the list. E.g. first read gets entries #0 to #9; the seq file index will be 10. Then entry #5 is deleted, resulting in #10 becoming #9 and #11 becoming #10, etc... The next read will continue from entry #10, and #9 is missed. Solve this by adding a cursor entry for each open instance. Taking the global namespace_sem for write seems excessive, since we are only dealing with a per-namespace list. Instead add a per-namespace spinlock and use that together with namespace_sem taken for read to protect against concurrent modification of the mount list. This may reduce parallelism of is_local_mountpoint(), but it's hardly a big contention point. We could also use RCU freeing of cursors to make traversal not need additional locks, if that turns out to be neceesary. Only move the cursor once for each read (cursor is not added on open) to minimize cacheline invalidation. When EOF is reached, the cursor is taken off the list, in order to prevent an excessive number of cursors due to inactive open file descriptors. Reported-by: Karel Zak Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

acct_on(): don't mess with freeze protection

2019-04-05T01:04:13Z

What happens there is that we are replacing file->path.mnt of a file we'd just opened with a clone and we need the write count contribution to be transferred from original mount to new one. That's it. We do *NOT* want any kind of freeze protection for the duration of switchover. IOW, we should just use __mnt_{want,drop}_write() for that switchover; no need to bother with mnt_{want,drop}_write() there.

new helpers: vfs_create_mount(), fc_mount()

2019-01-30T22:44:24Z

Create a new helper, vfs_create_mount(), that creates a detached vfsmount object from an fs_context that has a superblock attached to it. Almost all uses will be paired with immediately preceding vfs_get_tree(); add a helper for such combination. Switch vfs_kern_mount() to use this. NOTE: mild behaviour change; passing NULL as 'device name' to something like procfs will change /proc/*/mountstats - "device none" instead on "no device". That is consistent with /proc/mounts et.al.
