KEYS: Add missing smp_rmb() primitives to the keyring search code

2012-01-17T23:41:27+00:00

Add missing smp_rmb() primitives to the keyring search code.

When keyring payloads are appended to without replacement (thus using up spare
slots in the key pointer array), an smp_wmb() is issued between the pointer
assignment and the increment of the key count (nkeys).

There should be corresponding read barriers between the read of nkeys and
dereferences of keys[n] when n is dependent on the value of nkeys.

KEYS: __key_link() should use the RCU deref wrapper for keyring payloads

2011-08-22T23:57:34+00:00

__key_link() should use the RCU deref wrapper rcu_dereference_locked_keyring()
for accessing keyring payloads rather than calling rcu_dereference_protected()
directly.

rcu: treewide: Do not use rcu_read_lock_held when calling rcu_dereference_check

2011-07-08T20:21:58+00:00

Since ca5ecddf (rcu: define __rcu address space modifier for sparse)
rcu_dereference_check use rcu_read_lock_held as a part of condition
automatically so callers do not have to do that as well.

KEYS: Improve /proc/keys

2011-03-17T00:59:32+00:00

Improve /proc/keys by:

 (1) Don't attempt to summarise the payload of a negated key.  It won't have
     one.  To this end, a helper function - key_is_instantiated() has been
     added that allows the caller to find out whether the key is positively
     instantiated (as opposed to being uninstantiated or negatively
     instantiated).

 (2) Do show keys that are negative, expired or revoked rather than hiding
     them.  This requires an override flag (no_state_check) to be passed to
     search_my_process_keyrings() and keyring_search_aux() to suppress this
     check.

     Without this, keys that are possessed by the caller, but only grant
     permissions to the caller if possessed are skipped as the possession check
     fails.

     Keys that are visible due to user, group or other checks are visible with
     or without this patch.

KEYS: Add a new keyctl op to reject a key with a specified error code

2011-03-08T00:17:18+00:00

Add a new keyctl op to reject a key with a specified error code.  This works
much the same as negating a key, and so keyctl_negate_key() is made a special
case of keyctl_reject_key().  The difference is that keyctl_negate_key()
selects ENOKEY as the error to be reported.

Typically the key would be rejected with EKEYEXPIRED, EKEYREVOKED or
EKEYREJECTED, but this is not mandatory.

KEYS: Fix __key_link_end() quota fixup on error

2011-01-25T22:58:20+00:00

Fix __key_link_end()'s attempt to fix up the quota if an error occurs.

There are two erroneous cases: Firstly, we always decrease the quota if
the preallocated replacement keyring needs cleaning up, irrespective of
whether or not we should (we may have replaced a pointer rather than
adding another pointer).

Secondly, we never clean up the quota if we added a pointer without the
keyring storage being extended (we allocate multiple pointers at a time,
even if we're not going to use them all immediately).

We handle this by setting the bottom bit of the preallocation pointer in
__key_link_begin() to indicate that the quota needs fixing up, which is
then passed to __key_link() (which clears the whole thing) and
__key_link_end().

KEYS: Do some style cleanup in the key management code.

2011-01-21T22:59:29+00:00

Do a bit of a style clean up in the key management code.  No functional
changes.

Done using:

  perl -p -i -e 's!^/[*]*/\n!!' security/keys/*.c
  perl -p -i -e 's!} /[*] end [a-z0-9_]*[(][)] [*]/\n!}\n!' security/keys/*.c
  sed -i -s -e ": next" -e N -e 's/^\n[}]$/}/' -e t -e P -e 's/^.*\n//' -e "b next" security/keys/*.c

To remove /*****/ lines, remove comments on the closing brace of a
function to name the function and remove blank lines before the closing
brace of a function.

kernel-wide: replace USHORT_MAX, SHORT_MAX and SHORT_MIN with USHRT_MAX, SHRT_MAX and SHRT_MIN

2010-05-25T15:07:02+00:00

- C99 knows about USHRT_MAX/SHRT_MAX/SHRT_MIN, not
  USHORT_MAX/SHORT_MAX/SHORT_MIN.

- Make SHRT_MIN of type s16, not int, for consistency.

KEYS: Do preallocation for __key_link()

2010-05-06T12:25:02+00:00

Do preallocation for __key_link() so that the various callers in request_key.c
can deal with any errors from this source before attempting to construct a key.
This allows them to assume that the actual linkage step is guaranteed to be
successful.
