btrfs: restrict snapshotting to own subvolumes

2014-02-06T19:34:11+00:00

commit d024206133ce21936b3d5780359afc00247655b7 upstream.

Currently, any user can snapshot any subvolume if the path is accessible and
thus indirectly create and keep files he does not own under his direcotries.
This is not possible with traditional directories.

In security context, a user can snapshot root filesystem and pin any
potentially buggy binaries, even if the updates are applied.

All the snapshots are visible to the administrator, so it's possible to
verify if there are suspicious snapshots.

Another more practical problem is that any user can pin the space used
by eg. root and cause ENOSPC.

Btrfs: setup inode location during btrfs_init_inode_locked

2014-02-06T19:34:11+00:00

commit 90d3e592e99b8e374ead2b45148abf506493a959 upstream.

We have a race during inode init because the BTRFS_I(inode)->location is setup
after the inode hash table lock is dropped.  btrfs_find_actor uses the location
field, so our search might not find an existing inode in the hash table if we
race with the inode init code.

This commit changes things to setup the location field sooner.  Also the find actor now
uses only the location objectid to match inodes.  For inode hashing, we just
need a unique and stable test, it doesn't have to reflect the inode numbers we
show to userland.

Btrfs: handle EAGAIN case properly in btrfs_drop_snapshot()

2014-02-06T19:34:11+00:00

commit 90515e7f5d7d24cbb2a4038a3f1b5cfa2921aa17 upstream.

We may return early in btrfs_drop_snapshot(), we shouldn't
call btrfs_std_err() for this case, fix it.

hpfs: remember free space

2014-02-06T19:34:10+00:00

commit 2cbe5c76fc5e38e9af4b709593146e4b8272b69e upstream.

Previously, hpfs scanned all bitmaps each time the user asked for free
space using statfs.  This patch changes it so that hpfs scans the
bitmaps only once, remembes the free space and on next invocation of
statfs it returns the value instantly.

New versions of wine are hammering on the statfs syscall very heavily,
making some games unplayable when they're stored on hpfs, with load
times in minutes.

This should be backported to the stable kernels because it fixes
user-visible problem (excessive level load times in wine).

vfs: Is mounted should be testing mnt_ns for NULL or error.

2014-02-06T19:34:06+00:00

commit 260a459d2e39761fbd39803497205ce1690bc7b1 upstream.

A bug was introduced with the is_mounted helper function in
commit f7a99c5b7c8bd3d3f533c8b38274e33f3da9096e
Author: Al Viro 
Date:   Sat Jun 9 00:59:08 2012 -0400

    get rid of ->mnt_longterm

    it's enough to set ->mnt_ns of internal vfsmounts to something
    distinct from all struct mnt_namespace out there; then we can
    just use the check for ->mnt_ns != NULL in the fast path of
    mntput_no_expire()

    Signed-off-by: Al Viro 

The intent was to test if the real_mount(vfsmount)->mnt_ns was
NULL_OR_ERR but the code is actually testing real_mount(vfsmount)
and always returning true.

The result is d_absolute_path returning paths it should be hiding.

vfs: Remove second variable named error in __dentry_path

2014-02-06T19:34:06+00:00

commit a8323da0366d3398eda62741d2ac1130c8a172ed upstream.

In commit  232d2d60aa5469bb097f55728f65146bd49c1d25
Author: Waiman Long 
Date:   Mon Sep 9 12:18:13 2013 -0400

    dcache: Translating dentry into pathname without taking rename_lock

The __dentry_path locking was changed and the variable error was
intended to be moved outside of the loop.  Unfortunately the inner
declaration of error was not removed. Resulting in a version of
__dentry_path that will never return an error.

Remove the problematic inner declaration of error and allow
__dentry_path to return errors once again.

ext4: avoid clearing beyond i_blocks when truncating an inline data file

2014-02-06T19:34:05+00:00

commit 09c455aaa8f47a94d5bafaa23d58365768210507 upstream.

A missing cast means that when we are truncating a file which is less
than 60 bytes, we don't clear the correct area of memory, and in fact
we can end up truncating the next inode in the inode table, or worse
yet, some other kernel data structure.

GFS2: Increase i_writecount during gfs2_setattr_chown

2014-01-29T13:06:18+00:00

commit 62e96cf81988101fe9e086b2877307b6adda5197 upstream.

This patch calls get_write_access in function gfs2_setattr_chown,
which merely increases inode->i_writecount for the duration of the
function. That will ensure that any file closes won't delete the
inode's multi-block reservation while the function is running.
It also ensures that a multi-block reservation exists when needed
for quota change operations during the chown.

Pull namespace fixes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a set of 3 regression fixes.

  This fixes /proc/mounts when using "ip netns add " to display
  the actual mount point.

  This fixes a regression in clone that broke lxc-attach.

  This fixes a regression in the permission checks for mounting /proc
  that made proc unmountable if binfmt_misc was in use.  Oops.

  My apologies for sending this pull request so late.  Al Viro gave
  interesting review comments about the d_path fix that I wanted to
  address in detail before I sent this pull request.  Unfortunately a
  bad round of colds kept from addressing that in detail until today.
  The executive summary of the review was:

  Al: Is patching d_path really sufficient?
      The prepend_path, d_path, d_absolute_path, and __d_path family of
      functions is a really mess.

  Me: Yes, patching d_path is really sufficient.  Yes, the code is mess.
      No it is not appropriate to rewrite all of d_path for a regression
      that has existed for entirely too long already, when a two line
      change will do"
