fs: sysfs_emit: Remove PAGE_SIZE alignment check

2022-03-23T08:00:34+00:00

For kernel releases older than 4.20, using the SLUB alloctor will cause
this alignment check to fail as that allocator did NOT align kmalloc
allocations on a PAGE_SIZE boundry.

Remove the check for these older kernels as it is a false-positive and
causes problems on many devices.

sysfs: Add sysfs_emit and sysfs_emit_at to format sysfs output

2021-03-07T10:25:58+00:00

commit 2efc459d06f1630001e3984854848a5647086232 upstream.

Output defects can exist in sysfs content using sprintf and snprintf.

sprintf does not know the PAGE_SIZE maximum of the temporary buffer
used for outputting sysfs content and it's possible to overrun the
PAGE_SIZE buffer length.

Add a generic sysfs_emit function that knows that the size of the
temporary buffer and ensures that no overrun is done.

Add a generic sysfs_emit_at function that can be used in multiple
call situations that also ensures that no overrun is done.

Validate the output buffer argument to be page aligned.
Validate the offset len argument to be within the PAGE_SIZE buf.

scsi: sysfs: Introduce sysfs_{un,}break_active_protection()

2018-09-05T07:20:10+00:00

commit 2afc9166f79b8f6da5f347f48515215ceee4ae37 upstream.

Introduce these two functions and export them such that the next patch
can add calls to these functions from the SCSI core.

sysfs: be careful of error returns from ops->show()

2017-04-12T10:41:11+00:00

commit c8a139d001a1aab1ea8734db14b22dac9dd143b6 upstream.

ops->show() can return a negative error code.
Commit 65da3484d9be ("sysfs: correctly handle short reads on PREALLOC attrs.")
(in v4.4) caused this to be stored in an unsigned 'size_t' variable, so errors
would look like large numbers.
As a result, if an error is returned, sysfs_kf_read() will return the
value of 'count', typically 4096.

Commit 17d0774f8068 ("sysfs: correctly handle read offset on PREALLOC attrs")
(in v4.8) extended this error to use the unsigned large 'len' as a size for
memmove().
Consequently, if ->show returns an error, then the first read() on the
sysfs file will return 4096 and could return uninitialized memory to
user-space.
If the application performs a subsequent read, this will trigger a memmove()
with extremely large count, and is likely to crash the machine is bizarre ways.

This bug can currently only be triggered by reading from an md
sysfs attribute declared with __ATTR_PREALLOC() during the
brief period between when mddev_put() deletes an mddev from
the ->all_mddevs list, and when mddev_delayed_delete() - which is
scheduled on a workqueue - completes.
Before this, an error won't be returned by the ->show()
After this, the ->show() won't be called.

I can reproduce it reliably only by putting delay like
	usleep_range(500000,700000);
early in mddev_delayed_delete(). Then after creating an
md device md0 run
  echo clear > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state; cat /sys/block/md0/md/array_state

The bug can be triggered without the usleep.

sysfs: correctly handle read offset on PREALLOC attrs

2016-08-31T13:14:44+00:00

Attributes declared with __ATTR_PREALLOC use sysfs_kf_read() which returns
zero bytes for non-zero offset. This breaks script checkarray in mdadm tool
in debian where /bin/sh is 'dash' because its builtin 'read' reads only one
byte at a time. Script gets 'i' instead of 'idle' when reads current action
from /sys/block/$dev/md/sync_action and as a result does nothing.

This patch adds trivial implementation of partial read: generate whole
string and move required part into buffer head.

kernfs: make kernfs_path*() behave in the style of strlcpy()

2016-08-10T15:23:44+00:00

kernfs_path*() functions always return the length of the full path but
the path content is undefined if the length is larger than the
provided buffer.  This makes its behavior different from strlcpy() and
requires error handling in all its users even when they don't care
about truncation.  In addition, the implementation can actully be
simplified by making it behave properly in strlcpy() style.

* Update kernfs_path_from_node_locked() to always fill up the buffer
  with path.  If the buffer is not large enough, the output is
  truncated and terminated.

* kernfs_path() no longer needs error handling.  Make it a simple
  inline wrapper around kernfs_path_from_node().

* sysfs_warn_dup()'s use of kernfs_path() doesn't need error handling.
  Updated accordingly.

* cgroup_path()'s use of kernfs_path() updated to retain the old
  behavior.

kernfs: The cgroup filesystem also benefits from SB_I_NOEXEC

2016-06-23T20:41:56+00:00

The cgroup filesystem is in the same boat as sysfs.  No one ever
permits executables of any kind on the cgroup filesystem, and there is
no reasonable future case to support executables in the future.

Therefore move the setting of SB_I_NOEXEC which makes the code proof
against future mistakes of accidentally creating executables from
sysfs to kernfs itself.  Making the code simpler and covering the
sysfs, cgroup, and cgroup2 filesystems.

mnt: Refactor fs_fully_visible into mount_too_revealing

2016-06-23T20:41:46+00:00

Replace the call of fs_fully_visible in do_new_mount from before the
new superblock is allocated with a call of mount_too_revealing after
the superblock is allocated.   This winds up being a much better location
for maintainability of the code.

The first change this enables is the replacement of FS_USERNS_VISIBLE
with SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE.  Moving the flag from struct filesystem_type
to sb_iflags on the superblock.

Unfortunately mount_too_revealing fundamentally needs to touch
mnt_flags adding several MNT_LOCKED_XXX flags at the appropriate
times.  If the mnt_flags did not need to be touched the code
could be easily moved into the filesystem specific mount code.
