pid_namespace: pidns_get() should check task_active_pid_ns() != NULL

2014-04-27T00:15:34Z

commit d23082257d83e4bc89727d5aedee197e907999d2 upstream. pidns_get()->get_pid_ns() can hit ns == NULL. This task_struct can't go away, but task_active_pid_ns(task) is NULL if release_task(task) was already called. Alternatively we could change get_pid_ns(ns) to check ns != NULL, but it seems that other callers are fine. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Eric W.

pid_namespace.c/.h: simplify defines

2013-05-01T00:04:07Z

Move BITS_PER_PAGE from pid_namespace.c to pid_namespace.h, since we can simplify the define PID_MAP_ENTRIES by using the BITS_PER_PAGE.

pid: Handle the exit of a multi-threaded init.

2013-03-26T10:41:23Z

When a multi-threaded init exits and the initial thread is not the last thread to exit the initial thread hangs around as a zombie until the last thread exits. In that case zap_pid_ns_processes needs to wait until there are only 2 hashed pids in the pid namespace not one. v2. Replace thread_pid_vnr(me) == 1 with the test thread_group_leader(me) as suggested by Oleg. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Oleg Nesterov Reported-by: Caj Larsson Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

pidns: Stop pid allocation when init dies

2012-12-26T00:10:05Z

Oleg pointed out that in a pid namespace the sequence. - pid 1 becomes a zombie - setns(thepidns), fork,... - reaping pid 1. - The injected processes exiting. Can lead to processes attempting access their child reaper and instead following a stale pointer. That waitpid for init can return before all of the processes in the pid namespace have exited is also unfortunate. Avoid these problems by disabling the allocation of new pids in a pid namespace when init dies, instead of when the last process in a pid namespace is reaped.

userns: Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for most uses of setns.

2012-12-15T00:12:03Z

Andy Lutomirski found a nasty little bug in the permissions of setns. With unprivileged user namespaces it became possible to create new namespaces without privilege. However the setns calls were relaxed to only require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the user nameapce of the targed namespace. Which made the following nasty sequence possible. pid = clone(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS); if (pid == 0) { /* child */ system("mount --bind /home/me/passwd /etc/passwd"); } else if (pid != 0) { /* parent */ char path[PATH_MAX]; snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/%u/ns/mnt"); fd = open(path, O_RDONLY); setns(fd, 0); system("su -"); } Prevent this possibility by requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the current user namespace when joing all but the user namespace.

proc: Usable inode numbers for the namespace file descriptors.

2012-11-20T12:19:49Z

Assign a unique proc inode to each namespace, and use that inode number to ensure we only allocate at most one proc inode for every namespace in proc. A single proc inode per namespace allows userspace to test to see if two processes are in the same namespace. This has been a long requested feature and only blocked because a naive implementation would put the id in a global space and would ultimately require having a namespace for the names of namespaces, making migration and certain virtualization tricks impossible. We still don't have per superblock inode numbers for proc, which appears necessary for application unaware checkpoint/restart and migrations (if the application is using namespace file descriptors) but that is now allowd by the design if it becomes important. I have preallocated the ipc and uts initial proc inode numbers so their structures can be statically initialized. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

pidns: Support unsharing the pid namespace.

2012-11-19T13:59:16Z

Unsharing of the pid namespace unlike unsharing of other namespaces does not take affect immediately. Instead it affects the children created with fork and clone. The first of these children becomes the init process of the new pid namespace, the rest become oddball children of pid 0. From the point of view of the new pid namespace the process that created it is pid 0, as it's pid does not map. A couple of different semantics were considered but this one was settled on because it is easy to implement and it is usable from pam modules. The core reasons for the existence of unshare. I took a survey of the callers of pam modules and the following appears to be a representative sample of their logic. { setup stuff include pam child = fork(); if (!child) { setuid() exec /bin/bash } waitpid(child); pam and other cleanup } As you can see there is a fork to create the unprivileged user space process. Which means that the unprivileged user space process will appear as pid 1 in the new pid namespace. Further most login processes do not cope with extraneous children which means shifting the duty of reaping extraneous child process to the creator of those extraneous children makes the system more comprehensible. The practical reason for this set of pid namespace semantics is that it is simple to implement and verify they work correctly. Whereas an implementation that requres changing the struct pid on a process comes with a lot more races and pain. Not the least of which is that glibc caches getpid(). These semantics are implemented by having two notions of the pid namespace of a proces. There is task_active_pid_ns which is the pid namspace the process was created with and the pid namespace that all pids are presented to that process in. The task_active_pid_ns is stored in the struct pid of the task. Then there is the pid namespace that will be used for children that pid namespace is stored in task->nsproxy->pid_ns.

pidns: Add setns support

2012-11-19T13:59:14Z

- Pid namespaces are designed to be inescapable so verify that the passed in pid namespace is a child of the currently active pid namespace or the currently active pid namespace itself. Allowing the currently active pid namespace is important so the effects of an earlier setns can be cancelled. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman
