eCryptfs: fix possible fault in ecryptfs_sync_page

2007-08-31T08:42:23+00:00

This will avoid a possible fault in ecryptfs_sync_page().

In the function, eCryptfs calls sync_page() method of a lower filesystem
without checking its existence.  However, there are many filesystems that
don't have this method including network filesystems such as NFS, AFS, and
so forth.  They may fail when an eCryptfs page is waiting for lock.

eCryptfs: fix lookup error for special files

2007-08-23T02:52:44+00:00

When ecryptfs_lookup() is called against special files, eCryptfs generates
the following errors because it tries to treat them like regular eCryptfs
files.

Error opening lower file for lower_dentry [0xffff810233a6f150], lower_mnt [0xffff810235bb4c80], and flags [0x8000]
Error opening lower_file to read header region
Error attempting to read the [user.ecryptfs] xattr from the lower file; return value = [-95]
Valid metadata not found in header region or xattr region; treating file as unencrypted

For instance, the problem can be reproduced by the steps below.

  # mkdir /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
  # mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
  # mknod /mnt/crypt/c0 c 0 0
  # umount /mnt/crypt
  # mount -t ecryptfs /root/crypt /mnt/crypt
  # ls -l /mnt/crypt

This patch fixes it by adding a check similar to directories and
symlinks.

eCryptfs: fix error handling in ecryptfs_init

2007-08-11T22:47:40+00:00

ecryptfs_init() exits without doing any cleanup jobs if
ecryptfs_init_messaging() fails.  In that case, eCryptfs leaves
sysfs entries, leaks memory, and causes an invalid page fault.
This patch fixes the problem.

fix some conversion overflows

2007-07-20T15:44:19+00:00

Fix page index to offset conversion overflows in buffer layer, ecryptfs,
and ocfs2.

It would be nice to convert the whole tree to page_offset, but for now
just fix the bugs.

mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().

2007-07-20T01:11:58+00:00

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

eCryptfs: ecryptfs_setattr() bugfix

2007-07-19T17:04:43+00:00

There is another bug recently introduced into the ecryptfs_setattr()
function in 2.6.22.  eCryptfs will attempt to treat special files like
regular eCryptfs files on chmod, chown, and so forth.  This leads to a NULL
pointer dereference.  This patch validates that the file is a regular file
before proceeding with operations related to the inode's crypt_stat.

Thanks to Ryusuke Konishi for finding this bug and suggesting the fix.

Couple fixes to fs/ecryptfs/inode.c

2007-07-17T17:23:08+00:00

Following was uncovered by compiling the kernel with '-W' flag:

  CC [M]  fs/ecryptfs/inode.o
fs/ecryptfs/inode.c: In function ‘ecryptfs_lookup’:
fs/ecryptfs/inode.c:304: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false
fs/ecryptfs/inode.c: In function ‘ecryptfs_symlink’:
fs/ecryptfs/inode.c:486: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false

Function ecryptfs_encode_filename() can return -ENOMEM, so change the
variables to plain int, as in the first case the only real use actually
expects int, and in latter case there is no use beoynd the error check.

sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner

2007-07-11T23:09:06+00:00

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.
