2015-05-15namei: be careful with mountpoint crossings in follow_dotdot_rcu()Al Viro
Otherwise we are risking a hard error where nonlazy restart would be the right thing to do; it's a very narrow race with mount --move and most of the time it ends up being completely harmless, but it's possible to construct a case when we'll get a bogus hard error instead of falling back to non-lazy walk... For one thing, when crossing _into_ overmount of parent we need to check for mount_lock bumps when we get NULL from __lookup_mnt() as well. For another, and less exotically, we need to make sure that the data fetched in follow_up_rcu() had been consistent. ->mnt_mountpoint is pinned for as long as it is a mountpoint, but we need to check mount_lock after fetching to verify that.

2015-05-15VFS/namei: make the use of touch_atime() in get_link() RCU-safe.NeilBrown
touch_atime is not RCU-safe, and so cannot be called on an RCU walk. However, in situations where RCU-walk makes a difference, the symlink will likely to accessed much more often than it is useful to update the atime. So split out the test of "Does the atime actually need to be updated" into atime_needs_update(), and have get_link() unlazy if it finds that it will need to do that update.

2015-05-15namei: make unlazy_walk and terminate_walk handle nd->stack, add unlazy_linkAl Viro
We are almost done - primitives for leaving RCU mode are aware of nd->stack now, a new primitive for going to non-RCU mode when we have a symlink on hands added. The thing we are heavily relying upon is that *any* unlazy failure will be shortly followed by terminate_walk(), with no access to nameidata in between. So it's enough to leave the things in a state terminate_walk() would cope with. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2015-05-11new helper: __legitimize_mnt()Al Viro
same as legitimize_mnt(), except that it does *not* drop and regain rcu_read_lock; return values are 0 => grabbed a reference, we are fine 1 => failed, just go away -1 => failed, go away and mntput(bastard) when outside of rcu_read_lock Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-05-11namei: make may_follow_link() safe in RCU modeAl Viro
We *can't* call that audit garbage in RCU mode - it's doing a weird mix of allocations (GFP_NOFS, immediately followed by GFP_KERNEL) and I'm not touching that... thing again. So if this security sclero^Whardening feature gets triggered when we are in RCU mode, tough - we'll fail with -ECHILD and have everything restarted in non-RCU mode. Only to hit the same test and fail, this time with EACCES and with (oh, rapture) an audit spew produced. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-05-11namei: make put_link() RCU-safeAl Viro
very simple - just make path_put() conditional on !RCU. Note that right now it doesn't get called in RCU mode - we leave it before getting anything into stack. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2015-05-11switch ->put_link() from dentry to inodeAl Viro
only one instance looks at that argument at all; that sole exception wants inode rather than dentry. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-05-11security: make inode_follow_link RCU-walk awareNeilBrown
inode_follow_link now takes an inode and rcu flag as well as the dentry. inode is used in preference to d_backing_inode(dentry), particularly in RCU-walk mode. selinux_inode_follow_link() gets dentry_has_perm() and inode_has_perm() open-coded into it so that it can call avc_has_perm_flags() in way that is safe if LOOKUP_RCU is set. Calling avc_has_perm_flags() with rcu_read_lock() held means that when avc_has_perm_noaudit calls avc_compute_av(), the attempt to rcu_read_unlock() before calling security_compute_av() will not actually drop the RCU read-lock. However as security_compute_av() is completely in a read_lock()ed region, it should be safe with the RCU read-lock held.

2015-05-11security/selinux: pass 'flags' arg to avc_audit() and avc_has_perm_flags()NeilBrown

2015-05-11namei: lift terminate_walk() all the way upAl Viro

2015-05-11namei: lift link_path_walk() call out of trailing_symlink()Al Viro
Make trailing_symlink() return the pathname to traverse or ERR_PTR(-E...). A subtle point is that for "magic" symlinks it returns "" now - that leads to link_path_walk("", nd), which is immediately returning 0 and we are back to the treatment of the last component, at whereever the damn thing has left us. Reduces the stack footprint - link_path_walk() called on more shallow stack now. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-05-11namei: path_init() calling conventions changeAl Viro
* lift link_path_walk() into callers; moving it down into path_init() had been a mistake. Stack footprint, among other things... * do _not_ call path_cleanup() after path_init() failure; on all failure exits out of it we have nothing for path_cleanup() to do * have path_init() return pathname or ERR_PTR(-E...)

2015-05-10namei: take increment of nd->depth into pick_link()Al Viro
Makes the situation much more regular - we avoid a strange state when the element just after the top of stack is used to store struct path of symlink, but isn't counted in nd->depth. This is much more regular, so the normal failure exits, etc., work fine. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2015-05-10namei: fold put_link() into the failure case of complete_walk()Al Viro
... and don't open-code unlazy_walk() in there - the only reason for that is to avoid verfication of cached nd->root, which is trivially avoided by discarding said cached nd->root first. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-05-10namei: take the treatment of absolute symlinks to get_link()Al Viro
rather than letting the callers handle the jump-to-root part of semantics, do it right in get_link() and return the rest of the body for the caller to deal with - at that point it's treated the same way as relative symlinks would be. And return NULL when there's no "rest of the body" - those are treated the same as pure jump symlink would be. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-05-10namei: simpler treatment of symlinks with nothing other that / in the bodyAl Viro
Instead of saving name and branching to OK:, where we'll immediately restore it, and call walk_component() with WALK_PUT|WALK_GET and nd->last_type being LAST_BIND, which is equivalent to put_link(nd), err = 0, we can just treat that the same way we'd treat procfs-style "jump" symlinks - do put_link(nd) and move on. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-05-10namei: simplify failure exits in get_link()Al Viro
when cookie is NULL, put_link() is equivalent to path_put(), so as soon as we'd set last->cookie to NULL, we can bump nd->depth and let the normal logics in terminate_walk() to take care of cleanups. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2015-05-10VFS: replace {, total_}link_count in task_struct with pointer to nameidataNeilBrown
task_struct currently contains two ad-hoc members for use by the VFS: link_count and total_link_count. These are only interesting to fs/namei.c, so exposing them explicitly is poor layering. Incidentally, link_count isn't used anymore, so it can just die. This patches replaces those with a single pointer to 'struct nameidata'. This structure represents the current filename lookup of which there can only be one per process, and is a natural place to store total_link_count. This will allow the current "nameidata" argument to all follow_link operations to be removed as current->nameidata can be used instead in the _very_ few instances that care about it at all. As there are occasional circumstances where pathname lookup can recurse, such as through kern_path_locked, we always save and old current->nameidata (if there is one) when setting a new value, and make sure any active link_counts are preserved. follow_mount and follow_automount now get a 'struct nameidata *' rather than 'int flags' so that they can directly access total_link_count, rather than going through 'current'.

2015-05-10namei: new calling conventions for walk_component()Al Viro
instead of a single flag (!= 0 => we want to follow symlinks) pass two bits - WALK_GET (want to follow symlinks) and WALK_PUT (put_link() once we are done looking at the name). The latter matters only for success exits - on failure the caller will discard everything anyway. Suggestions for better variant are welcome; what this thing aims for is making sure that pending put_link() is done *before* walk_component() decides to pick a symlink up, rather than between picking it up and acting upon it. See the next commit for payoff. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2015-05-10namei: have terminate_walk() do put_link() on everything leftAl Viro
All callers of terminate_walk() are followed by more or less open-coded eqiuvalent of "do put_link() on everything left in nd->stack". Better done in terminate_walk() itself, and when we go for RCU symlink traversal we'll have to do it there anyway. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-05-10namei: take put_link() into {lookup,mountpoint,do}_last()Al Viro
rationale: we'll need to have terminate_walk() do put_link() on everything, which will mean that in some cases ..._last() will do put_link() anyway. Easier to have them do it in all cases. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
