<content type='text'>
This patch adds a new mount parameter 'ecryptfs_mount_auth_tok_only' to
force ecryptfs to use only authentication tokens which signature has
been specified at mount time with parameters 'ecryptfs_sig' and
'ecryptfs_fnek_sig'. In this way, after disabling the passthrough and
the encrypted view modes, it's possible to make available to users only
files encrypted with the specified authentication token.

This patch replaces the check of the 'matching_auth_tok' pointer with
the exit status of ecryptfs_find_auth_tok_for_sig().
This avoids to use authentication tokens obtained through the function
ecryptfs_keyring_auth_tok_for_sig which are not valid.

This patch allows keys requested in the function
ecryptfs_keyring_auth_tok_for_sig()to be released when they are no
longer required. In particular keys are directly released in the same
function if the obtained authentication token is not valid.

Further, a new function parameter 'auth_tok_key' has been added to
ecryptfs_find_auth_tok_for_sig() in order to provide callers the key
pointer to be passed to key_put().

In this code, 0 is returned on memory allocation failure, even though other
failures return -ENOMEM or other similar values.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;

expression ret;
expression x,e1,e2,e3;

ret = 0
... when != ret = e1

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>

<id>5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

When searching through the global authentication tokens for a given key
signature, verify that a matching key has not been revoked and has not
expired.  This allows the `keyctl revoke` command to be properly used on
keys in use by eCryptfs.

<title>eCryptfs: Fix lockdep-reported AB-BA mutex issue</title>

<id>aa06117f19944573cda0c4bee026c916b5256090</id>
<content type='text'>
Lockdep reports the following valid-looking possible AB-BA deadlock with
global_auth_tok_list_mutex and keysig_list_mutex:

  ecryptfs_new_file_context() -&gt;
      ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs() -&gt;
          mutex_lock(&amp;mount_crypt_stat-&gt;global_auth_tok_list_mutex);
          -&gt; ecryptfs_add_keysig() -&gt;
              mutex_lock(&amp;crypt_stat-&gt;keysig_list_mutex);

vs

  ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set() -&gt;
      mutex_lock(&amp;crypt_stat-&gt;keysig_list_mutex);
      -&gt; ecryptfs_find_global_auth_tok_for_sig() -&gt;
          mutex_lock(&amp;mount_crypt_stat-&gt;global_auth_tok_list_mutex);

ie the two mutexes are taken in opposite orders in the two different
code paths.  I'm not sure if this is a real bug where two threads could
actually hit the two paths in parallel and deadlock, but it at least
makes lockdep impossible to use with ecryptfs since this report triggers
every time and disables future lockdep reporting.

Since ecryptfs_add_keysig() is called only from the single callsite in
ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs(), the simplest fix seems to
be to move the lock of keysig_list_mutex back up outside of the where
global_auth_tok_list_mutex is taken.  This patch does that, and fixes
the lockdep report on my system (and ecryptfs still works OK).

The full output of lockdep fixed by this patch is:

Lockdep reports the following valid-looking possible AB-BA deadlock with
global_auth_tok_list_mutex and keysig_list_mutex:

  ecryptfs_new_file_context() -&gt;
      ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs() -&gt;
          mutex_lock(&amp;mount_crypt_stat-&gt;global_auth_tok_list_mutex);
          -&gt; ecryptfs_add_keysig() -&gt;
              mutex_lock(&amp;crypt_stat-&gt;keysig_list_mutex);

vs

  ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set() -&gt;
      mutex_lock(&amp;crypt_stat-&gt;keysig_list_mutex);
      -&gt; ecryptfs_find_global_auth_tok_for_sig() -&gt;
          mutex_lock(&amp;mount_crypt_stat-&gt;global_auth_tok_list_mutex);

ie the two mutexes are taken in opposite orders in the two different
code paths.  I'm not sure if this is a real bug where two threads could
actually hit the two paths in parallel and deadlock, but it at least
makes lockdep impossible to use with ecryptfs since this report triggers
every time and disables future lockdep reporting.

Since ecryptfs_add_keysig() is called only from the single callsite in
ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs(), the simplest fix seems to

The parse_tag_3_packet function does not check if the tag 3 packet contains a
encrypted key size larger than ECRYPTFS_MAX_ENCRYPTED_KEY_BYTES.
