2014-10-30fanotify: enable close-on-exec on events' fd when requested in fanotify_init()Yann Droneaud
commit 0b37e097a648aa71d4db1ad108001e95b69a2da4 upstream. According to commit 80af258867648 ("fanotify: groups can specify their f_flags for new fd"), file descriptors created as part of file access notification events inherit flags from the event_f_flags argument passed to syscall fanotify_init(2)[1]. Unfortunately O_CLOEXEC is currently silently ignored. Indeed, event_f_flags are only given to dentry_open(), which only seems to care about O_ACCMODE and O_PATH in do_dentry_open(), O_DIRECT in open_check_o_direct() and O_LARGEFILE in generic_file_open(). It's a pity, since, according to some lookup on various search engines and http://codesearch.debian.net/, there's already some userspace code which use O_CLOEXEC: - in systemd's readahead[2]: fanotify_fd = fanotify_init(FAN_CLOEXEC|FAN_NONBLOCK, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC|O_NOATIME); - in clsync[3]: #define FANOTIFY_EVFLAGS (O_LARGEFILE|O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) int fanotify_d = fanotify_init(FANOTIFY_FLAGS, FANOTIFY_EVFLAGS); - in examples [4] from "Filesystem monitoring in the Linux kernel" article[5] by Aleksander Morgado: if ((fanotify_fd = fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC, O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC | O_LARGEFILE)) < 0) Additionally, since commit 48149e9d3a7e ("fanotify: check file flags passed in fanotify_init"). having O_CLOEXEC as part of fanotify_init() second argument is expressly allowed. So it seems expected to set close-on-exec flag on the file descriptors if userspace is allowed to request it with O_CLOEXEC. But Andrew Morton raised[6] the concern that enabling now close-on-exec might break existing applications which ask for O_CLOEXEC but expect the file descriptor to be inherited across exec(). In the other hand, as reported by Mihai Dontu[7] close-on-exec on the file descriptor returned as part of file access notify can break applications due to deadlock. So close-on-exec is needed for most applications. More, applications asking for close-on-exec are likely expecting it to be enabled, relying on O_CLOEXEC being effective. If not, it might weaken their security, as noted by Jan Kara[8]. So this patch replaces call to macro get_unused_fd() by a call to function get_unused_fd_flags() with event_f_flags value as argument. This way O_CLOEXEC flag in the second argument of fanotify_init(2) syscall is interpreted and close-on-exec get enabled when requested.

2014-02-25fsnotify: Allocate overflow events with proper typeJan Kara
Commit 7053aee26a35 "fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups" used overflow event statically allocated in a group with the size of the generic notification event. This causes problems because some code looks at type specific parts of event structure and gets confused by a random data it sees there and causes crashes. Fix the problem by allocating overflow event with type corresponding to the group type so code cannot get confused. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2014-02-25fanotify: Handle overflow in case of permission eventsJan Kara
If the event queue overflows when we are handling permission event, we will never get response from userspace. So we must avoid waiting for it. Change fsnotify_add_notify_event() to return whether overflow has happened so that we can detect it in fanotify_handle_event() and act accordingly. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
2014-02-18inotify: Fix reporting of cookies for inotify eventsJan Kara
My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee26a35 "fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups") broke sending of cookies with inotify events. We didn't propagate the value passed to fsnotify() properly and passed 4 uninitialized bytes to userspace instead (so it is also an information leak). Sadly I didn't notice this during my testing because inotify cookies aren't used very much and LTP inotify tests ignore them. Fix the problem by passing the cookie value properly.

2014-01-29fanotify: Fix use after free for permission eventsJan Kara
Currently struct fanotify_event_info has been destroyed immediately after reporting its contents to userspace. However that is wrong for permission events because those need to stay around until userspace provides response which is filled back in fanotify_event_info. So change to code to free permission events only after we have got the response from userspace.

2014-01-29fsnotify: Do not return merged event from fsnotify_add_notify_event()Jan Kara
The event returned from fsnotify_add_notify_event() cannot ever be used safely as the event may be freed by the time the function returns (after dropping notification_mutex). So change the prototype to just return whether the event was added or merged into some existing event.

2014-01-29fanotify: Fix use after free in mask checkingJan Kara
We cannot use the event structure returned from fsnotify_add_notify_event() because that event can be freed by the time that function returns. Use the mask argument passed into the event handler directly instead. This also fixes a possible problem when we could unnecessarily wait for permission response for a normal fanotify event which got merged with a permission event. We also disallow merging of permission event with any other event so that we know the permission event which we just created is the one on which we should wait for permission response.

2014-01-21fsnotify: do not share events between notification groupsJan Kara
Currently fsnotify framework creates one event structure for each notification event and links this event into all interested notification groups. This is done so that we save memory when several notification groups are interested in the event. However the need for event structure shared between inotify & fanotify bloats the event structure so the result is often higher memory consumption. Another problem is that fsnotify framework keeps path references with outstanding events so that fanotify can return open file descriptors with its events. This has the undesirable effect that filesystem cannot be unmounted while there are outstanding events - a regression for inotify compared to a situation before it was converted to fsnotify framework. For fanotify this problem is hard to avoid and users of fanotify should kind of expect this behavior when they ask for file descriptors from notified files. This patch changes fsnotify and its users to create separate event structure for each group. This allows for much simpler code (~400 lines removed by this patch) and also smaller event structures. For example on 64-bit system original struct fsnotify_event consumes 120 bytes, plus additional space for file name, additional 24 bytes for second and each subsequent group linking the event, and additional 32 bytes for each inotify group for private data. After the conversion inotify event consumes 48 bytes plus space for file name which is considerably less memory unless file names are long and there are several groups interested in the events (both of which are uncommon). Fanotify event fits in 56 bytes after the conversion (fanotify doesn't care about file names so its events don't have to have it allocated). A win unless there are four or more fanotify groups interested in the event. The conversion also solves the problem with unmount when only inotify is used as we don't have to grab path references for inotify events.

2013-07-09fanotify: fix races when adding/removing marksLino Sanfilippo
For both adding an event to an existing mark and destroying a mark we first have to find it via fsnotify_find_[inode|vfsmount]_mark(). But getting the mark and adding an event (or destroying it) is not done atomically. This opens a race where a thread is about to destroy a mark while another thread still finds the same mark and adds an event to its mask although it will be destroyed. Another race exists concerning the excess of a groups number of marks limit: When a mark is added the number of group marks is checked against the max number of marks per group and increased afterwards. Since check and increment is also not done atomically, this may result in 2 or more processes passing the check at the same time and increasing the number of group marks above the allowed limit. With this patch both races are avoided by doing the concerning operations with the groups mark mutex locked.

Pull filesystem notification updates from Eric Paris: "This pull mostly is about locking changes in the fsnotify system. By switching the group lock from a spin_lock() to a mutex() we can now hold the lock across things like iput().

This also restores signal driven I/O for inotify, which has been broken since about 2.6.32." Ugh. I *hate* the timing of this. It was rebased after the merge window opened, and then left to sit with the pull request coming the day before the merge window closes. That's just crap.

2012-12-11fanotify: dont merge permission eventsLino Sanfilippo
Boyd Yang reported a problem for the case that multiple threads of the same thread group are waiting for a reponse for a permission event. In this case it is possible that some of the threads are never woken up, even if the response for the event has been received (see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131822913806350&w=2). The reason is that we are currently merging permission events if they belong to the same thread group. But we are not prepared to wake up more than one waiter for each event. We do wait_event(group->fanotify_data.access_waitq, event->response || atomic_read(&group->fanotify_data.bypass_perm)); and after that event->response = 0; which is the reason that even if we woke up all waiters for the same event some of them may see event->response being already set 0 again, then go back to sleep and block forever. With this patch we avoid that more than one thread is waiting for a response by not merging permission events for the same thread group any more.

2010-12-07fanotify: do not leak user reference on allocation failureEric Paris

2010-12-07fanotify: on group destroy allow all waiters to bypass permission checkLino Sanfilippo
When fanotify_release() is called, there may still be processes waiting for access permission. Currently only processes for which an event has already been queued into the groups access list will be woken up. Processes for which no event has been queued will continue to sleep and thus cause a deadlock when fsnotify_put_group() is called. Furthermore there is a race allowing further processes to be waiting on the access wait queue after wake_up (if they arrive before clear_marks_by_group() is called). This patch corrects this by setting a flag to inform processes that the group is about to be destroyed and thus not to wait for access permission. [additional changelog from eparis] Lets think about the 4 relevant code paths from the PoV of the 'operator' 'listener' 'responder' and 'closer'. Where operator is the process doing an action (like open/read) which could require permission. Listener is the task (or in this case thread) slated with reading from the fanotify file descriptor. The 'responder' is the thread responsible for responding to access requests. 'Closer' is the thread attempting to close the fanotify file descriptor. The 'operator' is going to end up in: fanotify_handle_event() get_response_from_access() (THIS BLOCKS WAITING ON USERSPACE) The 'listener' interesting code path fanotify_read() copy_event_to_user() prepare_for_access_response() (THIS CREATES AN fanotify_response_event) The 'responder' code path: fanotify_write() process_access_response() (REMOVE A fanotify_response_event, SET RESPONSE, WAKE UP 'operator') The 'closer': fanotify_release() (SUPPOSED TO CLEAN UP THE REST OF THIS MESS) What we have today is that in the closer we remove all of the fanotify_response_events and set a bit so no more response events are ever created in prepare_for_access_response(). The bug is that we never wake all of the operators up and tell them to move along. You fix that in fanotify_get_response_from_access(). You also fix other operators which haven't gotten there yet. So I agree that's a good fix.

2010-12-07fanotify: Dont allow a mask of 0 if setting or removing a markLino Sanfilippo
In mark_remove_from_mask() we destroy marks that have their event mask cleared. Thus we should not allow the creation of those marks in the first place. With this patch we check if the mask given from user is 0 in case of FAN_MARK_ADD. If so we return an error. Same for FAN_MARK_REMOVE since this does not have any effect.

2010-12-07fanotify: correct broken ref counting in case adding a mark failedLino Sanfilippo
If adding a mount or inode mark failed fanotify_free_mark() is called explicitly. But at this time the mark has already been put into the destroy list of the fsnotify_mark kernel thread. If the thread is too slow it will try to decrease the reference of a mark, that has already been freed by fanotify_free_mark(). (If its fast enough it will only decrease the marks ref counter from 2 to 1 - note that the counter has been increased to 2 in add_mark() - which has practically no effect.) This patch fixes the ref counting by not calling free_mark() explicitly, but decreasing the ref counter and rely on the fsnotify_mark thread to cleanup in case adding the mark has failed.

2010-12-07fanotify: deny permissions when no event was sentEric Paris

2010-10-28fanotify: do not recalculate the mask if the ignored mask changedEric Paris
If fanotify sets a new bit in the ignored mask it will cause the generic fsnotify layer to recalculate the real mask. This is stupid since we didn't change that part. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-10-28fanotify: ignore events on directories unless specifically requestedEric Paris
fanotify has a very limited number of events it sends on directories. The usefulness of these events is yet to be seen and still we send them. This is particularly painful for mount marks where one might receive many of these useless events. As such this patch will drop events on IS_DIR() inodes unless they were explictly requested with FAN_ON_DIR. This means that a mark on a directory without FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD or FAN_ON_DIR is meaningless and will result in no events ever (although it will still be allowed since detecting it is hard) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-10-28fanotify: do not send events for irregular filesEric Paris
fanotify_should_send_event has a test to see if an object is a file or directory and does not send an event otherwise. The problem is that the test is actually checking if the object with a mark is a file or directory, not if the object the event happened on is a file or directory. We should check the latter.
