fuse: fix control dir setup and teardown

2018-05-31T10:26:10+00:00

syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at fuse_ctl_remove_conn() [1].
Since fc->ctl_ndents is incremented by fuse_ctl_add_conn() when new_inode()
failed, fuse_ctl_remove_conn() reaches an inode-less dentry and tries to
clear d_inode(dentry)->i_private field.

Fix by only adding the dentry to the array after being fully set up.

When tearing down the control directory, do d_invalidate() on it to get rid
of any mounts that might have been added.

fuse: return -ECONNABORTED on /dev/fuse read after abort

2018-03-20T16:11:44+00:00

Currently the userspace has no way of knowing whether the fuse
connection ended because of umount or abort via sysfs. It makes it hard
for filesystems to free the mountpoint after abort without worrying
about removing some new mount.

The patch fixes it by returning different errors when userspace reads
from /dev/fuse (-ENODEV for umount and -ECONNABORTED for abort).

Add a new capability flag FUSE_ABORT_ERROR. If set and the connection is
gone because of sysfs abort, reading from the device will return
-ECONNABORTED.

fs: constify tree_descr arrays passed to simple_fill_super()

2017-04-27T03:54:06+00:00

simple_fill_super() is passed an array of tree_descr structures which
describe the files to create in the filesystem's root directory.  Since
these arrays are never modified intentionally, they should be 'const' so
that they are placed in .rodata and benefit from memory protection.
This patch updates the function signature and all users, and also
constifies tree_descr.name.

fs: Replace CURRENT_TIME with current_time() for inode timestamps

2016-09-28T01:06:21+00:00

CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
Use current_time() instead.

CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.

This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.

Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
share the same time granularity.

fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.

2013-03-04T03:36:31+00:00

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.

A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.

Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.

This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

fuse: mark variables uninitialized

2012-09-03T15:44:06+00:00

gcc 4.6.3 complains about uninitialized variables in fs/fuse/control.c:

  CC      fs/fuse/control.o
fs/fuse/control.c: In function 'fuse_conn_congestion_threshold_write':
fs/fuse/control.c:165:29: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
fs/fuse/control.c: In function 'fuse_conn_max_background_write':
fs/fuse/control.c:128:23: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]

fuse_conn_limit_write() will always return non-zero unless the &val
is modified, so the warning is misleading. Let the compiler know
about it by marking 'val' with 'uninitialized_var'.

fuse: Convert to kstrtoul_from_user

2012-04-25T10:25:05+00:00

This patch replaces the code for getting an number from a
userspace buffer by a simple call to kstroul_from_user.
This makes it easier to read and less error prone.
