commit e1436df2f2550bc89d832ffd456373fdf5d5b5d7 upstream.

This reverts commit 2c2a7552dd6465e8fde6bc9cccf8d66ed1c1eb72.

Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted.  It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
later kernel change.

The original commit log for this change was incorrect, no "error
handling code" was added, things will blow up just as badly as before if
any of these cases ever were true.  As this BUG_ON() never fired, and
most of these checks are "obviously" never going to be true, let's just
revert to the original code for now until this gets unwound to be done
correctly in the future.

commit 9046625511ad8dfbc8c6c2de16b3532c43d68d48 upstream.

When mounting eCryptfs, a null "dev_name" argument to ecryptfs_mount()
causes a kernel panic if the parsed options are valid. The easiest way to
reproduce this is to call mount() from userspace with an existing
eCryptfs mount's options and a "source" argument of 0.

Error out if "dev_name" is null in ecryptfs_mount()

commit 2c2a7552dd6465e8fde6bc9cccf8d66ed1c1eb72 upstream.

In crypt_scatterlist, if the crypt_stat argument is not set up
correctly, the kernel crashes. Instead, by returning an error code
upstream, the error is handled safely.

The issue is detected via a static analysis tool written by us.

commit b4a81b87a4cfe2bb26a4a943b748d96a43ef20e8 upstream.

In ecryptfs_init_messaging(), if the allocation for 'ecryptfs_msg_ctx_arr'
fails, the previously allocated 'ecryptfs_daemon_hash' is not deallocated,
leading to a memory leak bug. To fix this issue, free
'ecryptfs_daemon_hash' before returning the error.

commit fe2e082f5da5b4a0a92ae32978f81507ef37ec66 upstream.

In parse_tag_1_packet(), if tag 1 packet contains a key larger than
ECRYPTFS_MAX_ENCRYPTED_KEY_BYTES, no cleanup is executed, leading to a
memory leak on the allocated 'auth_tok_list_item'. To fix this issue, go to
the label 'out_free' to perform the cleanup work.

<title>ecryptfs_lookup_interpose(): lower_dentry-&gt;d_parent is not stable either</title>

We need to get the underlying dentry of parent; sure, absent the races
it is the parent of underlying dentry, but there's nothing to prevent
losing a timeslice to preemtion in the middle of evaluation of
lower_dentry-&gt;d_parent-&gt;d_inode, having another process move lower_dentry
around and have its (ex)parent not pinned anymore and freed on memory
pressure.  Then we regain CPU and try to fetch -&gt;d_inode from memory
that is freed by that point.

dentry-&gt;d_parent *is* stable here - it's an argument of -&gt;lookup() and
we are guaranteed that it won't be moved anywhere until we feed it
to d_add/d_splice_alias.  So we safely go that way to get to its
underlying dentry.

lower_dentry can't go from positive to negative (we have it pinned),
but it *can* go from negative to positive.  So fetching -&gt;d_inode
into a local variable, doing a blocking allocation, checking that
now -&gt;d_inode is non-NULL and feeding the value we'd fetched
earlier to a function that won't accept NULL is not a good idea.

<title>ecryptfs: fix unlink and rmdir in face of underlying fs modifications</title>

<id>bcf0d9d4b76976f892154efdfc509b256fd898e8</id>
<content type='text'>
A problem similar to the one caught in commit 74dd7c97ea2a ("ecryptfs_rename():
verify that lower dentries are still OK after lock_rename()") exists for
unlink/rmdir as well.

Instead of playing with dget_parent() of underlying dentry of victim
and hoping it's the same as underlying dentry of our directory,
do the following:
        * find the underlying dentry of victim
        * find the underlying directory of victim's parent (stable
since the victim is ecryptfs dentry and inode of its parent is
held exclusive by the caller).
        * lock the inode of dentry underlying the victim's parent
        * check that underlying dentry of victim is still hashed and
has the right parent - it can be moved, but it can't be moved to/from
the directory we are holding exclusive.  So while -&gt;d_parent itself
might not be stable, the result of comparison is.

If the check passes, everything is fine - underlying directory is locked,
underlying victim is still a child of that directory and we can go ahead
and feed them to vfs_unlink().  As in the current mainline we need to
pin the underlying dentry of victim, so that it wouldn't go negative under
us, but that's the only temporary reference that needs to be grabbed there.
Underlying dentry of parent won't go away (it's pinned by the parent,
which is held by caller), so there's no need to grab it.

The same problem (with the same solution) exists for rmdir.  Moreover,
rename gets simpler and more robust with the same "don't bother with
dget_parent()" approach.

This reverts merge 0f75ef6a9cff49ff612f7ce0578bced9d0b38325 (and thus
effectively commits

   7a1ade847596 ("keys: Provide KEYCTL_GRANT_PERMISSION")
   2e12256b9a76 ("keys: Replace uid/gid/perm permissions checking with an ACL")

that the merge brought in).

It turns out that it breaks booting with an encrypted volume, and Eric
biggers reports that it also breaks the fscrypt tests [1] and loading of
in-kernel X.509 certificates [2].

The root cause of all the breakage is likely the same, but David Howells
is off email so rather than try to work it out it's getting reverted in
order to not impact the rest of the merge window.
