* fsstack/ecryptfs: remove unused get_nlinks param to fsstack_copy_attr_allErez Zadok2009-12-17

* eCryptfs: Remove Kconfig NET dependency and select MD5Tyler Hicks2009-10-08
| | | | | | | | | eCryptfs no longer uses a netlink interface to communicate with ecryptfsd, so NET is not a valid dependency anymore. MD5 is required and must be built for eCryptfs to be of any use. Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

* eCryptfs: Prevent lower dentry from going negative during unlinkTyler Hicks2009-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calling vfs_unlink() on the lower dentry, d_delete() turns the dentry into a negative dentry when the d_count is 1. This eventually caused a NULL pointer deref when a read() or write() was done and the negative dentry's d_inode was dereferenced in ecryptfs_read_update_atime() or ecryptfs_getxattr(). Placing mutt's tmpdir in an eCryptfs mount is what initially triggered the oops and I was able to reproduce it with the following sequence: open("/tmp/upper/foo", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW, 0600) = 3 link("/tmp/upper/foo", "/tmp/upper/bar") = 0 unlink("/tmp/upper/foo") = 0 open("/tmp/upper/bar", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_NOFOLLOW, 0600) = 4 unlink("/tmp/upper/bar") = 0 write(4, "eCryptfs test\n"..., 14 <unfinished ...> +++ killed by SIGKILL +++ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/387073 Reported-by: Loïc Minier <loic.minier@canonical.com> Cc: Serge Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Cc: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: ecryptfs-devel@lists.launchpad.net Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* eCryptfs: Propagate vfs_read and vfs_write return codesTyler Hicks2009-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Errors returned from vfs_read() and vfs_write() calls to the lower filesystem were being masked as -EINVAL. This caused some confusion to users who saw EINVAL instead of ENOSPC when the disk was full, for instance. Also, the actual bytes read or written were not accessible by callers to ecryptfs_read_lower() and ecryptfs_write_lower(), which may be useful in some cases. This patch updates the error handling logic where those functions are called in order to accept positive return codes indicating success.

* eCryptfs: Validate global auth tok keysTyler Hicks2009-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | When searching through the global authentication tokens for a given key signature, verify that a matching key has not been revoked and has not expired. This allows the `keyctl revoke` command to be properly used on keys in use by eCryptfs.

* eCryptfs: Filename encryption only supports password auth tokensTyler Hicks2009-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Returns -ENOTSUPP when attempting to use filename encryption with something other than a password authentication token, such as a private token from openssl. Using filename encryption with a userspace eCryptfs key module is a future goal. Until then, this patch handles the situation a little better than simply using a BUG_ON().

* eCryptfs: Check for O_RDONLY lower inodes when opening lower filesTyler Hicks2009-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the lower inode is read-only, don't attempt to open the lower file read/write and don't hand off the open request to the privileged eCryptfs kthread for opening it read/write. Instead, only try an unprivileged, read-only open of the file and give up if that fails. This patch fixes an oops when eCryptfs is mounted on top of a read-only mount.

* ecryptfs: improved dependency checking and reportingDave Hansen2009-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So, I compiled a 2.6.31-rc5 kernel with ecryptfs and loaded its module. When it came time to mount my filesystem, I got this in dmesg, and it refused to mount: [93577.776637] Unable to allocate crypto cipher with name [aes]; rc = [-2] [93577.783280] Error attempting to initialize key TFM cipher with name = [aes]; rc = [-2] [93577.791183] Error attempting to initialize cipher with name = [aes] and key size = [32]; rc = [-2] [93577.800113] Error parsing options; rc = [-22] I figured from the error message that I'd either forgotten to load "aes" or that my key size was bogus. Neither one of those was the case. In fact, I was missing the CRYPTO_ECB config option and the 'ecb' module. Unfortunately, there's no trace of 'ecb' in that error message. I've done two things to fix this. First, I've modified ecryptfs's Kconfig entry to select CRYPTO_ECB and CRYPTO_CBC. I also took CRYPTO out of the dependencies since the 'select' will take care of it for us. I've also modified the error messages to print a string that should contain both 'ecb' and 'aes' in my error case. That will give any future users a chance of finding the right modules and Kconfig options. I also wonder if we should: select CRYPTO_AES if !EMBEDDED since I think most ecryptfs users are using AES like me.

* eCryptfs: Fix lockdep-reported AB-BA mutex issueRoland Dreier2009-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lockdep reports the following valid-looking possible AB-BA deadlock with global_auth_tok_list_mutex and keysig_list_mutex: ecryptfs_new_file_context() -> ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs() -> mutex_lock(&mount_crypt_stat->global_auth_tok_list_mutex); -> ecryptfs_add_keysig() -> mutex_lock(&crypt_stat->keysig_list_mutex); vs ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set() -> mutex_lock(&crypt_stat->keysig_list_mutex); -> ecryptfs_find_global_auth_tok_for_sig() -> mutex_lock(&mount_crypt_stat->global_auth_tok_list_mutex); ie the two mutexes are taken in opposite orders in the two different code paths. I'm not sure if this is a real bug where two threads could actually hit the two paths in parallel and deadlock, but it at least makes lockdep impossible to use with ecryptfs since this report triggers every time and disables future lockdep reporting. Since ecryptfs_add_keysig() is called only from the single callsite in ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs(), the simplest fix seems to be to move the lock of keysig_list_mutex back up outside of the where global_auth_tok_list_mutex is taken. This patch does that, and fixes the lockdep report on my system (and ecryptfs still works OK).

* ecryptfs: Remove unneeded locking that triggers lockdep false positivesRoland Dreier2009-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In ecryptfs_destroy_inode(), inode_info->lower_file_mutex is locked, and just after the mutex is unlocked, the code does: kmem_cache_free(ecryptfs_inode_info_cache, inode_info); This means that if another context could possibly try to take the same mutex as ecryptfs_destroy_inode(), then it could end up getting the mutex just before the data structure containing the mutex is freed. So any such use would be an obvious use-after-free bug (catchable with slab poisoning or mutex debugging), and therefore the locking in ecryptfs_destroy_inode() is not needed and can be dropped. Similarly, in ecryptfs_destroy_crypt_stat(), crypt_stat->keysig_list_mutex is locked, and then the mutex is unlocked just before the code does: memset(crypt_stat, 0, sizeof(struct ecryptfs_crypt_stat)); Therefore taking this mutex is similarly not necessary.

* eCryptfs: Larger buffer for encrypted symlink targetsTyler Hicks2009-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using filename encryption with eCryptfs, the value of the symlink in the lower filesystem is encrypted and stored as a Tag 70 packet. This results in a longer symlink target than if the target value wasn't encrypted. Users were reporting these messages in their syslog: [ 45.653441] ecryptfs_parse_tag_70_packet: max_packet_size is [56]; real packet size is [51] [ 45.653444] ecryptfs_decode_and_decrypt_filename: Could not parse tag 70 packet from filename; copying through filename as-is This was due to bufsiz, one the arguments in readlink(), being used to when allocating the buffer passed to the lower inode's readlink(). That symlink target may be very large, but when decoded and decrypted, could end up being smaller than bufsize. To fix this, the buffer passed to the lower inode's readlink() will always be PATH_MAX in size when filename encryption is enabled. Any necessary truncation occurs after the decoding and decrypting.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ecryptfs_passthrough is a mount option that allows eCryptfs to allow data to be written to non-eCryptfs files in the lower filesystem. The passthrough option was causing data corruption due to it not always being treated as a non-eCryptfs file. The first 8 bytes of an eCryptfs file contains the decrypted file size. This value was being written to the non-eCryptfs files, too. Also, extra 0x00 characters were being written to make the file size a multiple of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE.

* eCryptfs: Allocate a variable number of pages for file headersTyler Hicks2009-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page(). However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front field. ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to the lower filesystem for the file header. Unfortunately, at least 8K was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single, zeroed page being smaller than 8K. This resulted in random areas of kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K. This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents().

* eCryptfs: don't encrypt file key with filename keyTyler Hicks2009-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | eCryptfs has file encryption keys (FEK), file encryption key encryption keys (FEKEK), and filename encryption keys (FNEK). The per-file FEK is encrypted with one or more FEKEKs and stored in the header of the encrypted file. I noticed that the FEK is also being encrypted by the FNEK. This is a problem if a user wants to use a different FNEK than their FEKEK, as their file contents will still be accessible with the FNEK. This is a minimalistic patch which prevents the FNEKs signatures from being copied to the inode signatures list. Ultimately, it keeps the FEK from being encrypted with a FNEK.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable mount-wide filename encryption by providing the Filename Encryption Key (FNEK) signature as a mount option. Note that the ecryptfs-utils userspace package versions 61 or later support this option. When mounting with ecryptfs-utils version 61 or later, the mount helper will detect the availability of the passphrase-based filename encryption in the kernel (via the eCryptfs sysfs handle) and query the user interactively as to whether or not he wants to enable the feature for the mount. If the user enables filename encryption, the mount helper will then prompt for the FNEK signature that the user wishes to use, suggesting by default the signature for the mount passphrase that the user has already entered for encrypting the file contents. When not using the mount helper, the user can specify the signature for the passphrase key with the ecryptfs_fnek_sig= mount option. This key must be available in the user's keyring. The mount helper usually takes care of this step. If, however, the user is not mounting with the mount helper, then he will need to enter the passphrase key into his keyring with some other utility prior to mounting, such as ecryptfs-manager.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patchset implements filename encryption via a passphrase-derived mount-wide Filename Encryption Key (FNEK) specified as a mount parameter. Each encrypted filename has a fixed prefix indicating that eCryptfs should try to decrypt the filename. When eCryptfs encounters this prefix, it decodes the filename into a tag 70 packet and then decrypts the packet contents using the FNEK, setting the filename to the decrypted filename. Both unencrypted and encrypted filenames can reside in the same lower filesystem. Because filename encryption expands the length of the filename during the encoding stage, eCryptfs will not properly handle filenames that are already near the maximum filename length. In the present implementation, eCryptfs must be able to produce a match against the lower encrypted and encoded filename representation when given a plaintext filename. Therefore, two files having the same plaintext name will encrypt and encode into the same lower filename if they are both encrypted using the same FNEK. This can be changed by finding a way to replace the prepended bytes in the blocked-aligned filename with random characters; they are hashes of the FNEK right now, so that it is possible to deterministically map from a plaintext filename to an encrypted and encoded filename in the lower filesystem. An implementation using random characters will have to decode and decrypt every single directory entry in any given directory any time an event occurs wherein the VFS needs to determine whether a particular file exists in the lower directory and the decrypted and decoded filenames have not yet been extracted for that directory. Thanks to Tyler Hicks and David Kleikamp for assistance in the development of this patchset. This patch: A tag 70 packet contains a filename encrypted with a Filename Encryption Key (FNEK). This patch implements functions for writing and parsing tag 70 packets. This patch also adds definitions and extends structures to support filename encryption.

| * add a vfs_fsync helperChristoph Hellwig2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call, and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex. All callers of fsync have to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get it right. This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this. It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there. Notes on the fsync callers: - ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the lower file - coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing - shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor taking i_mutex. Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op simple_sync_file directly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to have rather schizophrenic set of checks for NULL ->i_op even though it had been eliminated years ago. You'd need to go out of your way to set it to NULL explicitly _and_ a bunch of code would die on such inodes anyway. After killing two remaining places that still did that bogosity, all that crap can go away. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* | fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin2009-01-04
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).
