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.

fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode

2010-10-26T01:26:11+00:00

Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves.  For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.
