fanotify: enable close-on-exec on events' fd when requested in fanotify_init()

2014-10-30T16:35:12+00:00

commit 0b37e097a648aa71d4db1ad108001e95b69a2da4 upstream.

According to commit 80af258867648 ("fanotify: groups can specify their
f_flags for new fd"), file descriptors created as part of file access
notification events inherit flags from the event_f_flags argument passed
to syscall fanotify_init(2)[1].

Unfortunately O_CLOEXEC is currently silently ignored.

Indeed, event_f_flags are only given to dentry_open(), which only seems to
care about O_ACCMODE and O_PATH in do_dentry_open(), O_DIRECT in
open_check_o_direct() and O_LARGEFILE in generic_file_open().

It's a pity, since, according to some lookup on various search engines and
http://codesearch.debian.net/, there's already some userspace code which
use O_CLOEXEC:

- in systemd's readahead[2]:

    fanotify_fd = fanotify_init(FAN_CLOEXEC|FAN_NONBLOCK, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC|O_NOATIME);

- in clsync[3]:

    #define FANOTIFY_EVFLAGS (O_LARGEFILE|O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC)

    int fanotify_d = fanotify_init(FANOTIFY_FLAGS, FANOTIFY_EVFLAGS);

- in examples [4] from "Filesystem monitoring in the Linux
  kernel" article[5] by Aleksander Morgado:

    if ((fanotify_fd = fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC,
                                      O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC | O_LARGEFILE)) < 0)

Additionally, since commit 48149e9d3a7e ("fanotify: check file flags
passed in fanotify_init").  having O_CLOEXEC as part of fanotify_init()
second argument is expressly allowed.

So it seems expected to set close-on-exec flag on the file descriptors if
userspace is allowed to request it with O_CLOEXEC.

But Andrew Morton raised[6] the concern that enabling now close-on-exec
might break existing applications which ask for O_CLOEXEC but expect the
file descriptor to be inherited across exec().

In the other hand, as reported by Mihai Dontu[7] close-on-exec on the file
descriptor returned as part of file access notify can break applications
due to deadlock.  So close-on-exec is needed for most applications.

More, applications asking for close-on-exec are likely expecting it to be
enabled, relying on O_CLOEXEC being effective.  If not, it might weaken
their security, as noted by Jan Kara[8].

So this patch replaces call to macro get_unused_fd() by a call to function
get_unused_fd_flags() with event_f_flags value as argument.  This way
O_CLOEXEC flag in the second argument of fanotify_init(2) syscall is
interpreted and close-on-exec get enabled when requested.

fs/notify: don't show f_handle if exportfs_encode_inode_fh failed

2014-10-05T21:54:13+00:00

commit 7e8824816bda16bb11ff5ff1e1212d642e57b0b3 upstream.

Currently we handle only ENOSPC.  In case of other errors the file_handle
variable isn't filled properly and we will show a part of stack.

fsnotify/fdinfo: use named constants instead of hardcoded values

2014-10-05T21:54:13+00:00

commit 1fc98d11cac6dd66342e5580cb2687e5b1e9a613 upstream.

MAX_HANDLE_SZ is equal to 128, but currently the size of pad is only 64
bytes, so exportfs_encode_inode_fh can return an error.

compat: fix sys_fanotify_mark

2014-02-13T21:48:00+00:00

commit 592f6b842f64e416c7598a1b97c649b34241e22d upstream.

Commit 91c2e0bcae72 ("unify compat fanotify_mark(2), switch to
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") added a new unified compat fanotify_mark syscall
to be used by all architectures.

Unfortunately the unified version merges the split mask parameter in a
wrong way: the lower and higher word got swapped.

This was discovered with glibc's tst-fanotify test case.

fanotify: info leak in copy_event_to_user()

commit de1e0c40aceb9d5bff09c3a3b97b2f1b178af53f upstream.

The ->reserved field isn't cleared so we leak one byte of stack

inotify: invalid mask should return a error number but not set it

2013-05-01T00:04:00+00:00

When we run the crackerjack testsuite, the inotify_add_watch test is
stalled.

This is caused by the invalid mask 0 - the task is waiting for the event
but it never comes.  inotify_add_watch() should return -EINVAL as it did
before commit 676a0675cf92 ("inotify: remove broken mask checks causing
unmount to be EINVAL").  That commit removes the invalid mask check, but
that check is needed.

Check the mask's ALL_INOTIFY_BITS before the inotify_arg_to_mask() call.
If none are set, just return -EINVAL.

Because IN_UNMOUNT is in ALL_INOTIFY_BITS, this change will not trigger
the problem that above commit fixed.
