ecryptfs: avoid to access NULL pointer when write metadata in xattr

2014-10-31T14:11:30+00:00

commit 35425ea2492175fd39f6116481fe98b2b3ddd4ca upstream.

Christopher Head 2014-06-28 05:26:20 UTC described:
"I tried to reproduce this on 3.12.21. Instead, when I do "echo hello > foo"
in an ecryptfs mount with ecryptfs_xattr specified, I get a kernel crash:

If we create a file when we mount with ecryptfs_xattr_metadata option, we will
encounter a crash in this path:
->ecryptfs_create
  ->ecryptfs_initialize_file
    ->ecryptfs_write_metadata
      ->ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_xattr
        ->ecryptfs_setxattr
          ->fsstack_copy_attr_all
It's because our dentry->d_inode used in fsstack_copy_attr_all is NULL, and it
will be initialized when ecryptfs_initialize_file finish.

So we should skip copying attr from lower inode when the value of ->d_inode is
invalid.

 "Minor code cleanups and new Kconfig option to disable /dev/ecryptfs

  The code cleanups fix up W=1 compiler warnings and some unnecessary
  checks.  The new Kconfig option, defaulting to N, allows the rarely
  used eCryptfs kernel to userspace communication channel to be compiled
  out.  This may be the first step in it being eventually removed."

Hmm.  I'm not sure whether these should be called "fixes", and it
probably should have gone in the merge window.  But I'll let it slide.

eCryptfs: Copy up attributes of the lower target inode after rename

2012-09-14T16:36:03+00:00

After calling into the lower filesystem to do a rename, the lower target
inode's attributes were not copied up to the eCryptfs target inode. This
resulted in the eCryptfs target inode staying around, rather than being
evicted, because i_nlink was not updated for the eCryptfs inode. This
also meant that eCryptfs didn't do the final iput() on the lower target
inode so it stayed around, as well. This would result in a failure to
free up space occupied by the target file in the rename() operation.
Both target inodes would eventually be evicted when the eCryptfs
filesystem was unmounted.

This patch calls fsstack_copy_attr_all() after the lower filesystem
does its ->rename() so that important inode attributes, such as i_nlink,
are updated at the eCryptfs layer. ecryptfs_evict_inode() is now called
and eCryptfs can drop its final reference on the lower inode.

 - Fixes a bug when the lower filesystem mount options include 'acl',
   but the eCryptfs mount options do not
 - Cleanups in the messaging code
 - Better handling of empty files in the lower filesystem to improve
   usability.  Failed file creations are now cleaned up and empty lower
   files are converted into eCryptfs during open().
 - The write-through cache changes are being reverted due to bugs that
   are not easy to fix.  Stability outweighs the performance
   enhancements here.
 - Improvement to the mount code to catch unsupported ciphers specified
   in the mount options

no need to d_drop() the sucker.
