get rid of autofs_getpath()

2021-03-21T15:44:02+00:00

allow wq->name.name to point not at the beginning of the object containing
the string, with wq->offset telling how far into it we are.  Then we can
bloody well just use dentry_path_raw() instead of autofs_getpath() -
the only real difference is that dentry_path_raw() puts the result into
the end of buffer and returns where it starts.

fs: make helpers idmap mount aware

2021-01-24T13:27:20+00:00

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

file: Replace ksys_close with close_fd

2020-12-10T18:42:59+00:00

Now that ksys_close is exactly identical to close_fd replace
the one caller of ksys_close with close_fd.

autofs: harden ioctl table

2020-10-16T18:11:22+00:00

The table of ioctl functions should be marked const in order to put them
in read-only memory, and we should use array_index_nospec() to avoid
speculation disclosing the contents of kernel memory to userspace.

autofs: use __kernel_write() for the autofs pipe writing

2020-09-30T00:18:34+00:00

autofs got broken in some configurations by commit 13c164b1a186
("autofs: switch to kernel_write") because there is now an extra LSM
permission check done by security_file_permission() in rw_verify_area().

autofs is one if the few places that really does want the much more
limited __kernel_write(), because the write is an internal kernel one
that shouldn't do any user permission checks (it also doesn't need the
file_start_write/file_end_write logic, since it's just a pipe).

There are a couple of other cases like that - accounting, core dumping,
and splice - but autofs stands out because it can be built as a module.

As a result, we need to export this internal __kernel_write() function
again.

We really don't want any other module to use this, but we don't have a
"EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_AUTOFS_ONLY()".  But we can mark it GPL-only to at
least approximate that "internal use only" for licensing.

While in this area, make autofs pass in NULL for the file position
pointer, since it's always a pipe, and we now use a NULL file pointer
for streaming file descriptors (see file_ppos() and commit 438ab720c675:
"vfs: pass ppos=NULL to .read()/.write() of FMODE_STREAM files")

This effectively reverts commits 9db977522449 ("fs: unexport
__kernel_write") and 13c164b1a186 ("autofs: switch to kernel_write").

autofs: switch to kernel_write

2020-07-08T06:27:56+00:00

While pipes don't really need sb_writers projection, __kernel_write is an
interface better kept private, and the additional rw_verify_area does not
hurt here.

LOOKUP_MOUNTPOINT: fold path_mountpointat() into path_lookupat()

2020-03-14T01:08:17+00:00

New LOOKUP flag, telling path_lookupat() to act as path_mountpointat().
IOW, traverse mounts at the final point and skip revalidation of the
location where it ends up.

Merge branch 'next.autofs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2019-12-06T01:11:48+00:00

Pull autofs updates from Al Viro:
 "autofs misuses checks for ->d_subdirs emptiness; the cursors are in
  the same lists, resulting in false negatives. It's not needed anyway,
  since autofs maintains counter in struct autofs_info, containing 0 for
  removed ones, 1 for live symlinks and 1 + number of children for live
  directories, which is precisely what we need for those checks.

  This series switches to use of that counter and untangles the crap
  around its uses (it needs not be atomic and there's a bunch of
  completely pointless "defensive" checks).

  This fell out of dcache_readdir work; the main point is to get rid of
  ->d_subdirs abuses in there. I've more followup cleanups, but I hadn't
  run those by Ian yet, so they can go next cycle"

* 'next.autofs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
