Without this patch fanotify_init does not validate the value passed in
event_f_flags.
When a fanotify event is read from the fanotify file descriptor a new
file descriptor is created where file.f_flags = event_f_flags.
Internal and external open flags are stored together in field f_flags of
struct file. Hence, an application might create file descriptors with
internal flags like FMODE_EXEC, FMODE_NOCMTIME set.
Jan Kara and Eric Paris both aggreed that this is a bug and the value of
event_f_flags should be checked:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/522https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/29/539
This updated patch version considers the comments by Michael Kerrisk in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/4/10
With the patch the value of event_f_flags is checked.
When specifying an invalid value error EINVAL is returned.
Internal flags are disallowed.
File creation flags are disallowed:
O_CREAT, O_DIRECTORY, O_EXCL, O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_TRUNC, and O_TTY_INIT.
Flags which do not make sense with fanotify are disallowed:
__O_TMPFILE, O_PATH, FASYNC, and O_DIRECT.
This leaves us with the following allowed values:
O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR are basic functionality. The are stored in the
bits given by O_ACCMODE.
O_APPEND is working as expected. The value might be useful in a logging
application which appends the current status each time the log is opened.
O_LARGEFILE is needed for files exceeding 4GB on 32bit systems.
O_NONBLOCK may be useful when monitoring slow devices like tapes.
O_NDELAY is equal to O_NONBLOCK except for platform parisc.
To avoid code breaking on parisc either both flags should be
allowed or none. The patch allows both.
__O_SYNC and O_DSYNC may be used to avoid data loss on power disruption.
O_NOATIME may be useful to reduce disk activity.
O_CLOEXEC may be useful, if separate processes shall be used to scan files.
Once this patch is accepted, the fanotify_init.2 manpage has to be updated.

commit 49d31c2f389acfe83417083e1208422b4091cd9e upstream.
take_dentry_name_snapshot() takes a safe snapshot of dentry name;
if the name is a short one, it gets copied into caller-supplied
structure, otherwise an extra reference to external name is grabbed
(those are never modified). In either case the pointer to stable
string is stored into the same structure.
dentry must be held by the caller of take_dentry_name_snapshot(),
but may be freely dropped afterwards - the snapshot will stay
until destroyed by release_dentry_name_snapshot().
Intended use:
struct name_snapshot s;
take_dentry_name_snapshot(&s, dentry);
...
access s.name
...
release_dentry_name_snapshot(&s);
Replaces fsnotify_oldname_...(), gets used in fsnotify to obtain the name
to pass down with event.

Patch "vfs: add d_canonical_path for stacked filesystem support"
erroneously updated the ALL_INOTIFY_BITS count. This changes it back
Change-Id: Idb04edc736da276159d30f04c40cff9d6b1e070f
Inotify does not currently know when a filesystem
is acting as a wrapper around another fs. This means
that inotify watchers will miss any modifications to
the base file, as well as any made in a separate
stacked fs that points to the same file.
d_canonical_path solves this problem by allowing the fs
to map a dentry to a path in the lower fs. Inotify
can use it to find the appropriate place to watch to
be informed of all changes to a file.

commit 6424babfd6 upstream.
During file system stress testing on 3.10 and 3.12 based kernels, the
umount command occasionally hung in fsnotify_unmount_inodes in the
section of code:
spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
if (inode->i_state & (I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE|I_NEW)) {
spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
continue;
}
As this section of code holds the global inode_sb_list_lock, eventually
the system hangs trying to acquire the lock.
Multiple crash dumps showed:
The inode->i_state == 0x60 and i_count == 0 and i_sb_list would point
back at itself. As this is not the value of list upon entry to the
function, the kernel never exits the loop.
To help narrow down problem, the call to list_del_init in
inode_sb_list_del was changed to list_del. This poisons the pointers in
the i_sb_list and causes a kernel to panic if it transverse a freed
inode.
Subsequent stress testing paniced in fsnotify_unmount_inodes at the
bottom of the list_for_each_entry_safe loop showing next_i had become
free.
We believe the root cause of the problem is that next_i is being freed
during the window of time that the list_for_each_entry_safe loop
temporarily releases inode_sb_list_lock to call fsnotify and
fsnotify_inode_delete.
The code in fsnotify_unmount_inodes attempts to prevent the freeing of
inode and next_i by calling __iget. However, the code doesn't do the
__iget call on next_i
if i_count == 0 or
if i_state & (I_FREEING | I_WILL_FREE)
The patch addresses this issue by advancing next_i in the above two cases
until we either find a next_i which we can __iget or we reach the end of
the list. This makes the handling of next_i more closely match the
handling of the variable "inode."
The time to reproduce the hang is highly variable (from hours to days.) We
ran the stress test on a 3.10 kernel with the proposed patch for a week
without failure.
During list_for_each_entry_safe, next_i is becoming free causing
the loop to never terminate. Advance next_i in those cases where
__iget is not done.

commit 0b37e097a6 upstream.
According to commit 80af258867 ("fanotify: groups can specify their
f_flags for new fd"), file descriptors created as part of file access
notification events inherit flags from the event_f_flags argument passed
to syscall fanotify_init(2)[1].
Unfortunately O_CLOEXEC is currently silently ignored.
Indeed, event_f_flags are only given to dentry_open(), which only seems to
care about O_ACCMODE and O_PATH in do_dentry_open(), O_DIRECT in
open_check_o_direct() and O_LARGEFILE in generic_file_open().
It's a pity, since, according to some lookup on various search engines and
http://codesearch.debian.net/, there's already some userspace code which
use O_CLOEXEC:
- in systemd's readahead[2]:
fanotify_fd = fanotify_init(FAN_CLOEXEC|FAN_NONBLOCK, O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC|O_NOATIME);
- in clsync[3]:
#define FANOTIFY_EVFLAGS (O_LARGEFILE|O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC)
int fanotify_d = fanotify_init(FANOTIFY_FLAGS, FANOTIFY_EVFLAGS);
- in examples [4] from "Filesystem monitoring in the Linux
kernel" article[5] by Aleksander Morgado:
if ((fanotify_fd = fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC,
O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC | O_LARGEFILE)) < 0)
Additionally, since commit 48149e9d3a ("fanotify: check file flags
passed in fanotify_init"). having O_CLOEXEC as part of fanotify_init()
second argument is expressly allowed.
So it seems expected to set close-on-exec flag on the file descriptors if
userspace is allowed to request it with O_CLOEXEC.
But Andrew Morton raised[6] the concern that enabling now close-on-exec
might break existing applications which ask for O_CLOEXEC but expect the
file descriptor to be inherited across exec().
In the other hand, as reported by Mihai Dontu[7] close-on-exec on the file
descriptor returned as part of file access notify can break applications
due to deadlock. So close-on-exec is needed for most applications.
More, applications asking for close-on-exec are likely expecting it to be
enabled, relying on O_CLOEXEC being effective. If not, it might weaken
their security, as noted by Jan Kara[8].
So this patch replaces call to macro get_unused_fd() by a call to function
get_unused_fd_flags() with event_f_flags value as argument. This way
O_CLOEXEC flag in the second argument of fanotify_init(2) syscall is
interpreted and close-on-exec get enabled when requested.

commit 03a1cec1f1 upstream.
Boyd Yang reported a problem for the case that multiple threads of the same
thread group are waiting for a reponse for a permission event.
In this case it is possible that some of the threads are never woken up, even
if the response for the event has been received
(see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131822913806350&w=2).
The reason is that we are currently merging permission events if they belong to
the same thread group. But we are not prepared to wake up more than one waiter
for each event. We do
wait_event(group->fanotify_data.access_waitq, event->response ||
atomic_read(&group->fanotify_data.bypass_perm));
and after that
event->response = 0;
which is the reason that even if we woke up all waiters for the same event
some of them may see event->response being already set 0 again, then go back to
sleep and block forever.
With this patch we avoid that more than one thread is waiting for a response
by not merging permission events for the same thread group any more.

commit 04df32fa10 upstream.
When we run the crackerjack testsuite, the inotify_add_watch test is
stalled.
This is caused by the invalid mask 0 - the task is waiting for the event
but it never comes. inotify_add_watch() should return -EINVAL as it did
before commit 676a0675cf ("inotify: remove broken mask checks causing
unmount to be EINVAL"). That commit removes the invalid mask check, but
that check is needed.
Check the mask's ALL_INOTIFY_BITS before the inotify_arg_to_mask() call.
If none are set, just return -EINVAL.
Because IN_UNMOUNT is in ALL_INOTIFY_BITS, this change will not trigger
the problem that above commit fixed.

commit 676a0675cf upstream.
Running the command:
inotifywait -e unmount /mnt/disk
immediately aborts with a -EINVAL return code. This is however a valid
parameter. This abort occurs only if unmount is the sole event
parameter. If other event parameters are supplied, then the unmount
event wait will work.
The problem was introduced by commit 44b350fc23 ("inotify: Fix mask
checks"). In that commit, it states:
The mask checks in inotify_update_existing_watch() and
inotify_new_watch() are useless because inotify_arg_to_mask()
sets FS_IN_IGNORED and FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bits anyway.
But instead of removing the useless checks, it did this:
mask = inotify_arg_to_mask(arg);
- if (unlikely(!mask))
+ if (unlikely(!(mask & IN_ALL_EVENTS)))
return -EINVAL;
The problem is that IN_ALL_EVENTS doesn't include IN_UNMOUNT, and other
parts of the code keep IN_UNMOUNT separate from IN_ALL_EVENTS. So the
check should be:
if (unlikely(!(mask & (IN_ALL_EVENTS | IN_UNMOUNT))))
But inotify_arg_to_mask(arg) always sets the IN_UNMOUNT bit in the mask
anyway, so the check is always going to pass and thus should simply be
removed. Also note that inotify_arg_to_mask completely controls what
mask bits get set from arg, there's no way for invalid bits to get
enabled there.
Lets fix it by simply removing the useless broken checks.

On an error path in inotify_init1 a normal user can trigger a double
free of struct user. This is a regression introduced by a2ae4cc9a1
("inotify: stop kernel memory leak on file creation failure").
We fix this by making sure that if a group exists the user reference is
dropped when the group is cleaned up. We should not explictly drop the
reference on error and also drop the reference when the group is cleaned
up.
The new lifetime rules are that an inotify group lives from
inotify_new_group to the last fsnotify_put_group. Since the struct user
and inotify_devs are directly tied to this lifetime they are only
changed/updated in those two locations. We get rid of all special
casing of struct user or user->inotify_devs.

This requires that __iget() is done atomically with i_state checks

Also remove the unlock_new_inode() memory barrier optimisation
required to avoid taking the inode_lock when clearing I_NEW.

When fanotify_release() is called, there may still be processes waiting for
access permission. Currently only processes for which an event has already been
queued into the groups access list will be woken up. Processes for which no
event has been queued will continue to sleep and thus cause a deadlock when
fsnotify_put_group() is called.
Furthermore there is a race allowing further processes to be waiting on the
access wait queue after wake_up (if they arrive before clear_marks_by_group()
is called).
This patch corrects this by setting a flag to inform processes that the group
is about to be destroyed and thus not to wait for access permission.
[additional changelog from eparis]
Lets think about the 4 relevant code paths from the PoV of the
'operator' 'listener' 'responder' and 'closer'. Where operator is the
process doing an action (like open/read) which could require permission.
Listener is the task (or in this case thread) slated with reading from
the fanotify file descriptor. The 'responder' is the thread responsible
for responding to access requests. 'Closer' is the thread attempting to
close the fanotify file descriptor.
The 'operator' is going to end up in:
fanotify_handle_event()
get_response_from_access()
(THIS BLOCKS WAITING ON USERSPACE)
The 'listener' interesting code path
fanotify_read()
copy_event_to_user()
prepare_for_access_response()
(THIS CREATES AN fanotify_response_event)
The 'responder' code path:
fanotify_write()
process_access_response()
(REMOVE A fanotify_response_event, SET RESPONSE, WAKE UP 'operator')
The 'closer':
fanotify_release()
(SUPPOSED TO CLEAN UP THE REST OF THIS MESS)
What we have today is that in the closer we remove all of the
fanotify_response_events and set a bit so no more response events are
ever created in prepare_for_access_response().
The bug is that we never wake all of the operators up and tell them to
move along. You fix that in fanotify_get_response_from_access(). You
also fix other operators which haven't gotten there yet. So I agree
that's a good fix.

In mark_remove_from_mask() we destroy marks that have their event mask cleared.
Thus we should not allow the creation of those marks in the first place.
With this patch we check if the mask given from user is 0 in case of FAN_MARK_ADD.
If so we return an error. Same for FAN_MARK_REMOVE since this does not have any
effect.

If adding a mount or inode mark failed fanotify_free_mark() is called explicitly.
But at this time the mark has already been put into the destroy list of the
fsnotify_mark kernel thread. If the thread is too slow it will try to decrease
the reference of a mark, that has already been freed by fanotify_free_mark().
(If its fast enough it will only decrease the marks ref counter from 2 to 1 - note
that the counter has been increased to 2 in add_mark() - which has practically no
effect.)
This patch fixes the ref counting by not calling free_mark() explicitly, but
decreasing the ref counter and rely on the fsnotify_mark thread to cleanup in
case adding the mark has failed.

If no event was sent to userspace we cannot expect userspace to respond to
permissions requests. Today such requests just hang forever. This patch will
deny any permissions event which was unable to be sent to userspace.

In fanotify_read() return -ERESTARTSYS instead of -EINTR to
make read() restartable across signals (BSD semantic).

fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c: In function 'fanotify_release':
fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c:375: warning: unused variable 'lre'
fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c:375: warning: unused variable 're'
this is really ugly.

If fanotify sets a new bit in the ignored mask it will cause the generic
fsnotify layer to recalculate the real mask. This is stupid since we
didn't change that part.

fanotify has a very limited number of events it sends on directories. The
usefulness of these events is yet to be seen and still we send them. This
is particularly painful for mount marks where one might receive many of
these useless events. As such this patch will drop events on IS_DIR()
inodes unless they were explictly requested with FAN_ON_DIR.
This means that a mark on a directory without FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD or
FAN_ON_DIR is meaningless and will result in no events ever (although it
will still be allowed since detecting it is hard)

The _IN_ in the naming is reserved for flags only used by inotify. Since I
am about to use this flag for fanotify rename it to be generic like the
rest.

fanotify_should_send_event has a test to see if an object is a file or
directory and does not send an event otherwise. The problem is that the
test is actually checking if the object with a mark is a file or directory,
not if the object the event happened on is a file or directory. We should
check the latter.

fanotify currently has no limit on the number of listeners a given user can
have open. This patch limits the total number of listeners per user to
128. This is the same as the inotify default limit.

Some fanotify groups, especially those like AV scanners, will need to place
lots of marks, particularly ignore marks. Since ignore marks do not pin
inodes in cache and are cleared if the inode is removed from core (usually
under memory pressure) we expose an interface for listeners, with
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, to override the maximum number of marks and be allowed to
set and 'unlimited' number of marks. Programs which make use of this
feature will be able to OOM a machine.
