eCryptfs: Flush dirty pages in setattr

2011-04-25T23:49:46+00:00

After 57db4e8d73ef2b5e94a3f412108dff2576670a8a changed eCryptfs to
write-back caching, eCryptfs page writeback updates the lower inode
times due to the use of vfs_write() on the lower file.

To preserve inode metadata changes, such as 'cp -p' does with
utimensat(), we need to flush all dirty pages early in
ecryptfs_setattr() so that the user-updated lower inode metadata isn't
clobbered later in writeback.

eCryptfs: Handle failed metadata read in lookup

2011-04-25T23:45:06+00:00

When failing to read the lower file's crypto metadata during a lookup,
eCryptfs must continue on without throwing an error. For example, there
may be a plaintext file in the lower mount point that the user wants to
delete through the eCryptfs mount.

If an error is encountered while reading the metadata in lookup(), the
eCryptfs inode's size could be incorrect. We must be sure to reread the
plaintext inode size from the metadata when performing an open() or
setattr(). The metadata is already being read in those paths, so this
adds minimal performance overhead.

This patch introduces a flag which will track whether or not the
plaintext inode size has been read so that an incorrect i_size can be
fixed in the open() or setattr() paths.

eCryptfs: Add reference counting to lower files

2011-04-25T23:32:37+00:00

For any given lower inode, eCryptfs keeps only one lower file open and
multiplexes all eCryptfs file operations through that lower file. The
lower file was considered "persistent" and stayed open from the first
lookup through the lifetime of the inode.

This patch keeps the notion of a single, per-inode lower file, but adds
reference counting around the lower file so that it is closed when not
currently in use. If the reference count is at 0 when an operation (such
as open, create, etc.) needs to use the lower file, a new lower file is
opened. Since the file is no longer persistent, all references to the
term persistent file are changed to lower file.

Locking is added around the sections of code that opens the lower file
and assign the pointer in the inode info, as well as the code the fputs
the lower file when all eCryptfs users are done with it.

This patch is needed to fix issues, when mounted on top of the NFSv3
client, where the lower file is left silly renamed until the eCryptfs
inode is destroyed.

eCryptfs: dput dentries returned from dget_parent

2011-04-25T23:32:36+00:00

Call dput on the dentries previously returned by dget_parent() in
ecryptfs_rename(). This is needed for supported eCryptfs mounts on top
of the NFSv3 client.

eCryptfs: Remove extra d_delete in ecryptfs_rmdir

2011-04-25T23:32:35+00:00

vfs_rmdir() already calls d_delete() on the lower dentry. That was being
duplicated in ecryptfs_rmdir() and caused a NULL pointer dereference
when NFSv3 was the lower filesystem.

eCryptfs: write lock requested keys

2011-03-28T06:49:43+00:00

A requested key is write locked in order to prevent modifications on the
authentication token while it is being used.

eCryptfs: move ecryptfs_find_auth_tok_for_sig() call before mutex_lock

2011-03-28T06:49:42+00:00

The ecryptfs_find_auth_tok_for_sig() call is moved before the
mutex_lock(s->tfm_mutex) instruction in order to avoid possible deadlocks
that may occur by holding the lock on the two semaphores 'key->sem' and
's->tfm_mutex' in reverse order.

eCryptfs: verify authentication tokens before their use

2011-03-28T06:49:41+00:00

Authentication tokens content may change if another requestor calls the
update() method of the corresponding key. The new function
ecryptfs_verify_auth_tok_from_key() retrieves the authentication token from
the provided key and verifies if it is still valid before being used to
encrypt or decrypt an eCryptfs file.

eCryptfs: modified size of keysig in the ecryptfs_key_sig structure

2011-03-28T06:49:40+00:00

The size of the 'keysig' array is incremented of one byte in order to make
room for the NULL character. The 'keysig' variable is used, in the function
ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set(), to find an authentication token with
the given signature and is printed a debug message if it cannot be
retrieved.
