fs: move namespace sysctls and declare fs base directory

2022-01-22T06:33:36+00:00

This moves the namespace sysctls to its own file as part of the
kernel/sysctl.c spring cleaning

Since we have now removed all sysctls for "fs", we now have to declare
it on the filesystem code, we do that using the new helper, which
reduces boiler plate code.

We rename init_fs_shared_sysctls() to init_fs_sysctls() to reflect that
now fs/sysctls.c is taking on the burden of being the first to register
the base directory as well.

Lastly, since init code will load in the order in which we link it we
have to move the sysctl code to be linked in early, so that its early
init routine runs prior to other fs code.  This way, other filesystem
code can register their own sysctls using the helpers after this:

  * register_sysctl_init()
  * register_sysctl()

fs: introduce MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP

2021-01-24T13:43:45+00:00

Introduce a new mount bind mount property to allow idmapping mounts. The
MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag can be set via the new mount_setattr() syscall
together with a file descriptor referring to a user namespace.

The user namespace referenced by the namespace file descriptor will be
attached to the bind mount. All interactions with the filesystem going
through that mount will be mapped according to the mapping specified in
the user namespace attached to it.

Using user namespaces to mark mounts means we can reuse all the existing
infrastructure in the kernel that already exists to handle idmappings
and can also use this for permission checking to allow unprivileged user
to create idmapped mounts in the future.

Idmapping a mount is decoupled from the caller's user and mount
namespace. This means idmapped mounts can be created in the initial
user namespace which is an important use-case for systemd-homed,
portable usb-sticks between systems, sharing data between the initial
user namespace and unprivileged containers, and other use-cases that
have been brought up. For example, assume a home directory where all
files are owned by uid and gid 1000 and the home directory is brought to
a new laptop where the user has id 12345. The system administrator can
simply create a mount of this home directory with a mapping of
1000:12345:1 and other mappings to indicate the ids should be kept.
(With this it is e.g. also possible to create idmapped mounts on the
host with an identity mapping 1:1:100000 where the root user is not
mapped. A user with root access that e.g. has been pivot rooted into
such a mount on the host will be not be able to execute, read, write, or
create files as root.)

Given that mapping a mount is decoupled from the caller's user namespace
a sufficiently privileged process such as a container manager can set up
an idmapped mount for the container and the container can simply pivot
root to it. There's no need for the container to do anything. The mount
will appear correctly mapped independent of the user namespace the
container uses. This means we don't need to mark a mount as idmappable.

In order to create an idmapped mount the caller must currently be
privileged in the user namespace of the superblock the mount belongs to.
Once a mount has been idmapped we don't allow it to change its mapping.
This keeps permission checking and life-cycle management simple. Users
wanting to change the idmapped can always create a new detached mount
with a different idmapping.

mount: attach mappings to mounts

2021-01-24T13:27:15+00:00

In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with user
namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to map the
ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount. By default
all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace. The initial
user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not idmapped. All
operations behave as before.

Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users to
setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
currently marked with.
Later patches enforce that once a mount has been idmapped it can't be
remapped. This keeps permission checking and life-cycle management
simple. Users wanting to change the idmapped can always create a new
detached mount with a different idmapping.

Add a new mnt_userns member to vfsmount and two simple helpers to
retrieve the mnt_userns from vfsmounts and files.

The idea to attach user namespaces to vfsmounts has been floated around
in various forms at Linux Plumbers in ~2018 with the original idea
tracing back to a discussion in 2017 at a conference in St. Petersburg
between Christoph, Tycho, and myself.

vfs: don't unnecessarily clone write access for writable fds

2021-01-04T19:02:08+00:00

There's no need for mnt_want_write_file() to increment mnt_writers when
the file is already open for writing, provided that
mnt_drop_write_file() is changed to conditionally decrement it.

We seem to have ended up in the current situation because
mnt_want_write_file() used to be paired with mnt_drop_write(), due to
mnt_drop_write_file() not having been added yet.  So originally
mnt_want_write_file() had to always increment mnt_writers.

But later mnt_drop_write_file() was added, and all callers of
mnt_want_write_file() were paired with it.  This makes the compatibility
between mnt_want_write_file() and mnt_drop_write() no longer necessary.

Therefore, make __mnt_want_write_file() and __mnt_drop_write_file() skip
incrementing mnt_writers on files already open for writing.  This
removes the only caller of mnt_clone_write(), so remove that too.

Add a "nosymfollow" mount option.

2020-08-27T20:06:47+00:00

For mounts that have the new "nosymfollow" option, don't follow symlinks
when resolving paths. The new option is similar in spirit to the
existing "nodev", "noexec", and "nosuid" options, as well as to the
LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS resolve flag in the openat2(2) syscall. Various BSD
variants have been supporting the "nosymfollow" mount option for a long
time with equivalent implementations.

Note that symlinks may still be created on file systems mounted with
the "nosymfollow" option present. readlink() remains functional, so
user space code that is aware of symlinks can still choose to follow
them explicitly.

Setting the "nosymfollow" mount option helps prevent privileged
writers from modifying files unintentionally in case there is an
unexpected link along the accessed path. The "nosymfollow" option is
thus useful as a defensive measure for systems that need to deal with
untrusted file systems in privileged contexts.

ovl: make private mounts longterm

2020-06-04T08:48:19+00:00

Overlayfs is using clone_private_mount() to create internal mounts for
underlying layers.  These are used for operations requiring a path, such as
dentry_open().

Since these private mounts are not in any namespace they are treated as
short term, "detached" mounts and mntput() involves taking the global
mount_lock, which can result in serious cacheline pingpong.

Make these private mounts longterm instead, which trade the penalty on
mntput() for a slightly longer shutdown time due to an added RCU grace
period when putting these mounts.

Introduce a new helper kern_unmount_many() that can take care of multiple
longterm mounts with a single RCU grace period.
