[PATCH v3 1/2] device_cgroup: check if exception removal is allowed When the device cgroup hierarchy was introduced in bd2953ebbb53 - devcg: propagate local changes down the hierarchy a specific case was overlooked. Consider the hierarchy bellow: A default policy: ALLOW, exceptions will deny access \ B default policy: ALLOW, exceptions will deny access There's no need to verify when an new exception is added to B because in this case exceptions will deny access to further devices, which is always fine. Hierarchy in device cgroup only makes sure B won't have more access than A. But when an exception is removed (by writing devices.allow), it isn't checked if the user is in fact removing an inherited exception from A, thus giving more access to B. Example: # echo 'a' >A/devices.allow # echo 'c 1:3 rw' >A/devices.deny # echo $$ >A/B/tasks # echo >/dev/null -bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted # echo 'c 1:3 w' >A/B/devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # This shouldn't be allowed and this patch fixes it by making sure to never allow exceptions in this case to be removed if the exception is partially or fully present on the parent. v3: missing '*' in function description v2: improved log message and formatting fixes Cc: cgroups@vger.kernel.org Cc: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Aristeu Rozanski <arozansk@redhat.com> Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

File-private locks have been merged into Linux for v3.15, and *now*
people are commenting that the name and macro definitions for the new
file-private locks suck.
...and I can't even disagree. The names and command macros do suck.
We're going to have to live with these for a long time, so it's
important that we be happy with the names before we're stuck with them.
The consensus on the lists so far is that they should be rechristened as
"open file description locks".
The name isn't a big deal for the kernel, but the command macros are not
visually distinct enough from the traditional POSIX lock macros. The
glibc and documentation folks are recommending that we change them to
look like F_OFD_{GETLK|SETLK|SETLKW}. That lessens the chance that a
programmer will typo one of the commands wrong, and also makes it easier
to spot this difference when reading code.
This patch makes the following changes that I think are necessary before
v3.15 ships:
1) rename the command macros to their new names. These end up in the uapi
headers and so are part of the external-facing API. It turns out that
glibc doesn't actually use the fcntl.h uapi header, but it's hard to
be sure that something else won't. Changing it now is safest.
2) make the the /proc/locks output display these as type "OFDLCK"

Whenever a device file is opened and checked against current device
cgroup rules, it uses the same function (may_access()) as when a new
exception rule is added by writing devices.{allow,deny}. And in both
cases, the algorithm is the same, doesn't matter the behavior.
First problem is having device access to be considered the same as rule
checking. Consider the following structure:
A (default behavior: allow, exceptions disallow access)
\
B (default behavior: allow, exceptions disallow access)
A new exception is added to B by writing devices.deny:
c 12:34 rw
When checking if that exception is allowed in may_access():
if (dev_cgroup->behavior == DEVCG_DEFAULT_ALLOW) {
if (behavior == DEVCG_DEFAULT_ALLOW) {
/* the exception will deny access to certain devices */
return true;
Which is ok, since B is not getting more privileges than A, it doesn't
matter and the rule is accepted
Now, consider it's a device file open check and the process belongs to
cgroup B. The access will be generated as:
behavior: allow
exception: c 12:34 rw
The very same chunk of code will allow it, even if there's an explicit
exception telling to do otherwise.
A simple test case:
# mkdir new_group
# cd new_group
# echo $$ >tasks
# echo "c 1:3 w" >devices.deny
# echo >/dev/null
# echo $?
0
This is a serious bug and was introduced on
c39a2a3018f8 devcg: prepare may_access() for hierarchy support
To solve this problem, the device file open function was split from the
new exception check.
Second problem is how exceptions are processed by may_access(). The
first part of the said function tries to match fully with an existing
exception:
list_for_each_entry_rcu(ex, &dev_cgroup->exceptions, list) {
if ((refex->type & DEV_BLOCK) && !(ex->type & DEV_BLOCK))
continue;
if ((refex->type & DEV_CHAR) && !(ex->type & DEV_CHAR))
continue;
if (ex->major != ~0 && ex->major != refex->major)
continue;
if (ex->minor != ~0 && ex->minor != refex->minor)
continue;
if (refex->access & (~ex->access))
continue;
match = true;
break;
}
That means the new exception should be contained into an existing one to
be considered a match:
New exception Existing match? notes
b 12:34 rwm b 12:34 rwm yes
b 12:34 r b *:34 rw yes
b 12:34 rw b 12:34 w no extra "r"
b *:34 rw b 12:34 rw no too broad "*"
b *:34 rw b *:34 rwm yes
Which is fine in some cases. Consider:
A (default behavior: deny, exceptions allow access)
\
B (default behavior: deny, exceptions allow access)
In this case the full match makes sense, the new exception cannot add
more access than the parent allows
But this doesn't always work, consider:
A (default behavior: allow, exceptions disallow access)
\
B (default behavior: deny, exceptions allow access)
In this case, a new exception in B shouldn't match any of the exceptions
in A, after all you can't allow something that was forbidden by A. But
consider this scenario:
New exception Existing in A match? outcome
b 12:34 rw b 12:34 r no exception is accepted
Because the new exception has "w" as extra, it doesn't match, so it'll
be added to B's exception list.
The same problem can happen during a file access check. Consider a
cgroup with allow as default behavior:
Access Exception match?
b 12:34 rw b 12:34 r no
In this case, the access didn't match any of the exceptions in the
cgroup, which is required since exceptions will disallow access.
To solve this problem, two new functions were created to match an
exception either fully or partially. In the example above, a partial
check will be performed and it'll produce a match since at least
"b 12:34 r" from "b 12:34 rw" access matches.

"The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
window.
Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
work. There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
(mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
mainline and with some I want more testing.
This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
usual beating. BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
