Commit 8a924db2d7b5 ("fs: Pass AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to getattr interface
function")' introduced the AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to ensure that the
call paths only call vfs_getattr_nosec if it is set instead of vfs_getattr.
Now, simplify the getattr interface functions of filesystems where the flag
AT_GETATTR_NOSEC is checked.

There is only a single caller of inode_operations getattr function and it
is located in fs/stat.c in vfs_getattr_nosec. The caller there is the only
one from which the AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag is passed from.

Two filesystems are checking this flag in .getattr and the flag is always
passed to them unconditionally from only vfs_getattr_nosec:

- ecryptfs:  Simplify by always calling vfs_getattr_nosec in
             ecryptfs_getattr. From there the flag is passed to no other
             function and this function is not called otherwise.

- overlayfs: Simplify by always calling vfs_getattr_nosec in
             ovl_getattr. From there the flag is passed to no other
             function and this function is not called otherwise.

The query_flags in vfs_getattr_nosec will mask-out AT_GETATTR_NOSEC from
any caller using AT_STATX_SYNC_TYPE as mask so that the flag is not
important inside this function. Also, since no filesystem is checking the
flag anymore, remove the flag entirely now, including the BUG_ON check that
never triggered.

The net change of the changes here combined with the original commit is
that ecryptfs and overlayfs do not call vfs_getattr but only
vfs_getattr_nosec.

Even though it seems to be able to resolve some names of
case-insensitive directories, the lack of d_hash and d_compare means we
end up with a broken state in the d_cache.  Considering it was never a
goal to support these two together, and we are preparing to use
d_revalidate in case-insensitive filesystems, which would make the
combination even more broken, reject any attempt to get a casefolded
inode from ecryptfs.

Holding -&gt;s_vfs_rename_mutex *almost* prevents -&gt;d_parent changes; the
case where we really don't want it is splicing the root of disconnected
tree to somewhere.

In other words, -&gt;s_vfs_rename_mutex is sufficient to stabilize "X is an
ancestor of Y" only if X and Y are already in the same tree.  Otherwise
it can go from false to true, and one can construct a deadlock on that.

Make lock_two_directories() report an error in such case and update the
callers of lock_rename()/lock_rename_child() to handle such errors.

And yes, such conditions are not impossible to create ;-/

<title>fs: Pass AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to getattr interface function</title>

When vfs_getattr_nosec() calls a filesystem's getattr interface function
then the 'nosec' should propagate into this function so that
vfs_getattr_nosec() can again be called from the filesystem's gettattr
rather than vfs_getattr(). The latter would add unnecessary security
checks that the initial vfs_getattr_nosec() call wanted to avoid.
Therefore, introduce the getattr flag GETATTR_NOSEC and allow to pass
with the new getattr_flags parameter to the getattr interface function.
In overlayfs and ecryptfs use this flag to determine which one of the
two functions to call.

In a recent code change introduced to IMA vfs_getattr_nosec() ended up
calling vfs_getattr() in overlayfs, which in turn called
security_inode_getattr() on an exiting process that did not have
current-&gt;fs set anymore, which then caused a kernel NULL pointer
dereference. With this change the call to security_inode_getattr() can
be avoided, thus avoiding the NULL pointer dereference.

This makes it harder for accidental or malicious changes to
ecryptfs_xattr_handlers at runtime.

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.

Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.
