fanotify: enable close-on-exec on events' fd when requested in fanotify_init()

2014-10-30T16:38:23+00:00

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.

fs/notify: don't show f_handle if exportfs_encode_inode_fh failed

2014-10-05T21:52:21+00:00

commit 7e8824816bda16bb11ff5ff1e1212d642e57b0b3 upstream.

Currently we handle only ENOSPC.  In case of other errors the file_handle
variable isn't filled properly and we will show a part of stack.

fsnotify/fdinfo: use named constants instead of hardcoded values

2014-10-05T21:52:21+00:00

commit 1fc98d11cac6dd66342e5580cb2687e5b1e9a613 upstream.

MAX_HANDLE_SZ is equal to 128, but currently the size of pad is only 64
bytes, so exportfs_encode_inode_fh can return an error.

fsnotify: Allocate overflow events with proper type

2014-02-25T10:18:06+00:00

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.

fanotify: Handle overflow in case of permission events

2014-02-25T10:17:58+00:00

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.

fsnotify: Fix detection whether overflow event is queued

2014-02-25T10:17:52+00:00

Currently we didn't initialize event's list head when we removed it from
the event list. Thus a detection whether overflow event is already
queued wasn't working. Fix it by always initializing the list head when
deleting event from a list.

inotify: Fix reporting of cookies for inotify events

2014-02-18T10:17:17+00:00

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.

fanotify: Fix use after free for permission events

2014-01-29T12:57:17+00:00

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.

fsnotify: Do not return merged event from fsnotify_add_notify_event()

2014-01-29T12:57:10+00:00

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.

fanotify: Fix use after free in mask checking

2014-01-29T12:57:04+00:00

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.
