fs: port fs{g,u}id helpers to mnt_idmap

2023-01-19T08:24:30+00:00

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

Pull VFS acl updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the work that builds a dedicated vfs posix acl api.

  The origins of this work trace back to v5.19 but it took quite a while
  to understand the various filesystem specific implementations in
  sufficient detail and also come up with an acceptable solution.

  As we discussed and seen multiple times the current state of how posix
  acls are handled isn't nice and comes with a lot of problems: The
  current way of handling posix acls via the generic xattr api is error
  prone, hard to maintain, and type unsafe for the vfs until we call
  into the filesystem's dedicated get and set inode operations.

  It is already the case that posix acls are special-cased to death all
  the way through the vfs. There are an uncounted number of hacks that
  operate on the uapi posix acl struct instead of the dedicated vfs
  struct posix_acl. And the vfs must be involved in order to interpret
  and fixup posix acls before storing them to the backing store, caching
  them, reporting them to userspace, or for permission checking.

  Currently a range of hacks and duct tape exist to make this work. As
  with most things this is really no ones fault it's just something that
  happened over time. But the code is hard to understand and difficult
  to maintain and one is constantly at risk of introducing bugs and
  regressions when having to touch it.

  Instead of continuing to hack posix acls through the xattr handlers
  this series builds a dedicated posix acl api solely around the get and
  set inode operations.

  Going forward, the vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(), and vfs_set_acl()
  helpers must be used in order to interact with posix acls. They
  operate directly on the vfs internal struct posix_acl instead of
  abusing the uapi posix acl struct as we currently do. In the end this
  removes all of the hackiness, makes the codepaths easier to maintain,
  and gets us type safety.

  This series passes the LTP and xfstests suites without any
  regressions. For xfstests the following combinations were tested:
   - xfs
   - ext4
   - btrfs
   - overlayfs
   - overlayfs on top of idmapped mounts
   - orangefs
   - (limited) cifs

  There's more simplifications for posix acls that we can make in the
  future if the basic api has made it.

  A few implementation details:

   - The series makes sure to retain exactly the same security and
     integrity module permission checks. Especially for the integrity
     modules this api is a win because right now they convert the uapi
     posix acl struct passed to them via a void pointer into the vfs
     struct posix_acl format to perform permission checking on the mode.

     There's a new dedicated security hook for setting posix acls which
     passes the vfs struct posix_acl not a void pointer. Basing checking
     on the posix acl stored in the uapi format is really unreliable.
     The vfs currently hacks around directly in the uapi struct storing
     values that frankly the security and integrity modules can't
     correctly interpret as evidenced by bugs we reported and fixed in
     this area. It's not necessarily even their fault it's just that the
     format we provide to them is sub optimal.

   - Some filesystems like 9p and cifs need access to the dentry in
     order to get and set posix acls which is why they either only
     partially or not even at all implement get and set inode
     operations. For example, cifs allows setxattr() and getxattr()
     operations but doesn't allow permission checking based on posix
     acls because it can't implement a get acl inode operation.

     Thus, this patch series updates the set acl inode operation to take
     a dentry instead of an inode argument. However, for the get acl
     inode operation we can't do this as the old get acl method is
     called in e.g., generic_permission() and inode_permission(). These
     helpers in turn are called in various filesystem's permission inode
     operation. So passing a dentry argument to the old get acl inode
     operation would amount to passing a dentry to the permission inode
     operation which we shouldn't and probably can't do.

     So instead of extending the existing inode operation Christoph
     suggested to add a new one. He also requested to ensure that the
     get and set acl inode operation taking a dentry are consistently
     named. So for this version the old get acl operation is renamed to
     ->get_inode_acl() and a new ->get_acl() inode operation taking a
     dentry is added. With this we can give both 9p and cifs get and set
     acl inode operations and in turn remove their complex custom posix
     xattr handlers.

     In the future I hope to get rid of the inode method duplication but
     it isn't like we have never had this situation. Readdir is just one
     example. And frankly, the overall gain in type safety and the more
     pleasant api wise are simply too big of a benefit to not accept
     this duplication for a while.

   - We've done a full audit of every codepaths using variant of the
     current generic xattr api to get and set posix acls and
     surprisingly it isn't that many places. There's of course always a
     chance that we might have missed some and if so I'm sure we'll find
     them soon enough.

     The crucial codepaths to be converted are obviously stacking
     filesystems such as ecryptfs and overlayfs.

     For a list of all callers currently using generic xattr api helpers
     see [2] including comments whether they support posix acls or not.

   - The old vfs generic posix acl infrastructure doesn't obey the
     create and replace semantics promised on the setxattr(2) manpage.
     This patch series doesn't address this. It really is something we
     should revisit later though.

  The patches are roughly organized as follows:

   (1) Change existing set acl inode operation to take a dentry
       argument (Intended to be a non-functional change)

   (2) Rename existing get acl method (Intended to be a non-functional
       change)

   (3) Implement get and set acl inode operations for filesystems that
       couldn't implement one before because of the missing dentry.
       That's mostly 9p and cifs (Intended to be a non-functional
       change)

   (4) Build posix acl api, i.e., add vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(),
       and vfs_set_acl() including security and integrity hooks
       (Intended to be a non-functional change)

   (5) Implement get and set acl inode operations for stacking
       filesystems (Intended to be a non-functional change)

   (6) Switch posix acl handling in stacking filesystems to new posix
       acl api now that all filesystems it can stack upon support it.

   (7) Switch vfs to new posix acl api (semantical change)

   (8) Remove all now unused helpers

   (9) Additional regression fixes reported after we merged this into
       linux-next

fs: rename current get acl method

2022-10-20T08:13:27+00:00

The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].

The current inode operation for getting posix acls takes an inode
argument but various filesystems (e.g., 9p, cifs, overlayfs) need access
to the dentry. In contrast to the ->set_acl() inode operation we cannot
simply extend ->get_acl() to take a dentry argument. The ->get_acl()
inode operation is called from:

acl_permission_check()
-> check_acl()
   -> get_acl()

which is part of generic_permission() which in turn is part of
inode_permission(). Both generic_permission() and inode_permission() are
called in the ->permission() handler of various filesystems (e.g.,
overlayfs). So simply passing a dentry argument to ->get_acl() would
amount to also having to pass a dentry argument to ->permission(). We
should avoid this unnecessary change.

So instead of extending the existing inode operation rename it from
->get_acl() to ->get_inode_acl() and add a ->get_acl() method later that
passes a dentry argument and which filesystems that need access to the
dentry can implement instead of ->get_inode_acl(). Filesystems like cifs
which allow setting and getting posix acls but not using them for
permission checking during lookup can simply not implement
->get_inode_acl().

This is intended to be a non-functional change.

2022-10-11T23:42:58+00:00

The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around
get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to
the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is
just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find
and replace.

Rather than incurring a division or requesting too many random bytes for
the given range, use the prandom_u32_max() function, which only takes
the minimum required bytes from the RNG and avoids divisions. This was
done by hand, covering things that coccinelle could not do on its own.

ext4: make directory inode spreading reflect flexbg size

2022-09-22T02:11:55+00:00

Currently the Orlov inode allocator searches for free inodes for a
directory only in flex block groups with at most inodes_per_group/16
more directory inodes than average per flex block group. However with
growing size of flex block group this becomes unnecessarily strict.
Scale allowed difference from average directory count per flex block
group with flex block group size as we do with other metrics.
