treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variants

2017-05-09T00:15:13+00:00

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc.  Let's use the helper
instead.  The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator.  E.g.
allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation.  This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously.  There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.

This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
they are more conservative.

fs/xattr.c: zero out memory copied to userspace in getxattr

2017-05-09T00:15:12+00:00

getxattr uses vmalloc to allocate memory if kzalloc fails.  This is
filled by vfs_getxattr and then copied to the userspace.  vmalloc,
however, doesn't zero out the memory so if the specific implementation
of the xattr handler is sloppy we can theoretically expose a kernel
memory.  There is no real sign this is really the case but let's make
sure this will not happen and use vzalloc instead.

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

xattr: Fix setting security xattrs on sockfs

2016-11-17T05:00:23+00:00

The IOP_XATTR flag is set on sockfs because sockfs supports getting the
"system.sockprotoname" xattr.  Since commit 6c6ef9f2, this flag is checked for
setxattr support as well.  This is wrong on sockfs because security xattr
support there is supposed to be provided by security_inode_setsecurity.  The
smack security module relies on socket labels (xattrs).

Fix this by adding a security xattr handler on sockfs that returns
-EAGAIN, and by checking for -EAGAIN in setxattr.

We cannot simply check for -EOPNOTSUPP in setxattr because there are
filesystems that neither have direct security xattr support nor support
via security_inode_setsecurity.  A more proper fix might be to move the
call to security_inode_setsecurity into sockfs, but it's not clear to me
if that is safe: we would end up calling security_inode_post_setxattr after
that as well.

xattr: Stop calling {get,set,remove}xattr inode operations

2016-10-08T00:10:44+00:00

All filesystems that support xattrs by now do so via xattr handlers.
They all define sb->s_xattr, and their getxattr, setxattr, and
removexattr inode operations use the generic inode operations.  On
filesystems that don't support xattrs, the xattr inode operations are
all NULL, and sb->s_xattr is also NULL.

This means that we can remove the getxattr, setxattr, and removexattr
inode operations and directly call the generic handlers, or better,
inline expand those handlers into fs/xattr.c.

Filesystems that do not support xattrs on some inodes should clear the
IOP_XATTR i_opflags flag in those inodes.  (Right now, some filesystems
have checks to disable xattrs on some inodes in the ->list, ->get, and
->set xattr handler operations instead.)  The IOP_XATTR flag is
automatically cleared in inodes of filesystems that don't have xattr
support.

In orangefs, symlinks do have a setxattr iop but no getxattr iop.  Add a
check for symlinks to orangefs_inode_getxattr to preserve the current,
weird behavior; that check may not be necessary though.

vfs: Check for the IOP_XATTR flag in listxattr

2016-10-08T00:10:44+00:00

When an inode doesn't support xattrs, turn listxattr off as well.

(When xattrs are "turned off", the VFS still passes security xattr
operations through to security modules, which can still expose inode
security labels that way.)

vfs: Use IOP_XATTR flag for bad-inode handling

2016-10-08T00:10:43+00:00

With this change, all the xattr handler based operations will produce an
-EIO result for bad inodes, and we no longer only depend on inode->i_op

vfs: Add IOP_XATTR inode operations flag

2016-10-08T00:10:42+00:00

The IOP_XATTR inode operations flag in inode->i_opflags indicates that
the inode has xattr support.  The flag is automatically set by
new_inode() on filesystems with xattr support (where sb->s_xattr is
defined), and cleared otherwise.  Filesystems can explicitly clear it
for inodes that should not have xattr support.
