Says Tyler:
"Tim's logging message update will be really helpful to users when
they're trying to locate a problematic file in the lower filesystem
with filename encryption enabled.
You'll recognize the fix from Li, as you commented on that.
You should also be familiar with my setattr/truncate improvements,
since you were the one that pointed them out to us (thanks again!).
Andrew noted the /dev/ecryptfs write count sanitization needed to be
improved, so I've got a fix in there for that along with some other
less important cleanups of the /dev/ecryptfs read/write code."

If pages passed to the eCryptfs extent-based crypto functions are not
mapped and the module parameter ecryptfs_verbosity=1 was specified at
loading time, a NULL pointer dereference will occur.
Note that this wouldn't happen on a production system, as you wouldn't
pass ecryptfs_verbosity=1 on a production system. It leaks private
information to the system logs and is for debugging only.
The debugging info printed in these messages is no longer very useful
and rather than doing a kmap() in these debugging paths, it will be
better to simply remove the debugging paths completely.

Most filesystems call inode_change_ok() very early in ->setattr(), but
eCryptfs didn't call it at all. It allowed the lower filesystem to make
the call in its ->setattr() function. Then, eCryptfs would copy the
appropriate inode attributes from the lower inode to the eCryptfs inode.
This patch changes that and actually calls inode_change_ok() on the
eCryptfs inode, fairly early in ecryptfs_setattr(). Ideally, the call
would happen earlier in ecryptfs_setattr(), but there are some possible
inode initialization steps that must happen first.
Since the call was already being made on the lower inode, the change in
functionality should be minimal, except for the case of a file extending
truncate call. In that case, inode_newsize_ok() was never being
called on the eCryptfs inode. Rather than inode_newsize_ok() catching
maximum file size errors early on, eCryptfs would encrypt zeroed pages
and write them to the lower filesystem until the lower filesystem's
write path caught the error in generic_write_checks(). This patch
introduces a new function, called ecryptfs_inode_newsize_ok(), which
checks if the new lower file size is within the appropriate limits when
the truncate operation will be growing the lower file.
In summary this change prevents eCryptfs truncate operations (and the
resulting page encryptions), which would exceed the lower filesystem
limits or FSIZE rlimits, from ever starting.

ecryptfs_write() handles the truncation of eCryptfs inodes. It grabs a
page, zeroes out the appropriate portions, and then encrypts the page
before writing it to the lower filesystem. It was unkillable and due to
the lack of sparse file support could result in tying up a large portion
of system resources, while encrypting pages of zeros, with no way for
the truncate operation to be stopped from userspace.
This patch adds the ability for ecryptfs_write() to detect a pending
fatal signal and return as gracefully as possible. The intent is to
leave the lower file in a useable state, while still allowing a user to
break out of the encryption loop. If a pending fatal signal is detected,
the eCryptfs inode size is updated to reflect the modified inode size
and then -EINTR is returned.

ecryptfs_write() can enter an infinite loop when truncating a file to a
size larger than 4G. This only happens on architectures where size_t is
represented by 32 bits.
This was caused by a size_t overflow due to it incorrectly being used to
store the result of a calculation which uses potentially large values of
type loff_t.

A malicious count value specified when writing to /dev/ecryptfs may
result in a a very large kernel memory allocation.
This patch peeks at the specified packet payload size, adds that to the
size of the packet headers and compares the result with the write count
value. The resulting maximum memory allocation size is approximately 532
bytes.

/proc/pid/clear_refs is used to clear the Referenced and YOUNG bits for
pages and corresponding page table entries of the task with PID pid, which
includes any special mappings inserted into the page tables in order to
provide things like vDSOs and user helper functions.
On ARM this causes a problem because the vectors page is mapped as a
global mapping and since ec706dab ("ARM: add a vma entry for the user
accessible vector page"), a VMA is also inserted into each task for this
page to aid unwinding through signals and syscall restarts. Since the
vectors page is required for handling faults, clearing the YOUNG bit (and
subsequently writing a faulting pte) means that we lose the vectors page
*globally* and cannot fault it back in. This results in a system deadlock
on the next exception.
To see this problem in action, just run:
$ echo 1 > /proc/self/clear_refs
on an ARM platform (as any user) and watch your system hang. I think this
has been the case since 2.6.37
This patch avoids clearing the aforementioned bits for reserved pages,
therefore leaving the vectors page intact on ARM. Since reserved pages
are not candidates for swap, this change should not have any impact on the
usefulness of clear_refs.

Look for a key of type "secret" with a description of

Jüri Aedla reported that the /proc/<pid>/mem handling really isn't very
robust, and it also doesn't match the permission checking of any of the
other related files.
This changes it to do the permission checks at open time, and instead of
tracking the process, it tracks the VM at the time of the open. That
simplifies the code a lot, but does mean that if you hold the file
descriptor open over an execve(), you'll continue to read from the _old_
VM.
That is different from our previous behavior, but much simpler. If
somebody actually finds a load where this matters, we'll need to revert
this commit.
I suspect that nobody will ever notice - because the process mapping
addresses will also have changed as part of the execve. So you cannot
actually usefully access the fd across a VM change simply because all
the offsets for IO would have changed too.

dd slept infinitely when fsfeeze failed because of EIO.
To fix this problem, if ->freeze_fs fails, freeze_super() wakes up
the tasks waiting for the filesystem to become unfrozen.
When s_frozen isn't SB_UNFROZEN in __generic_file_aio_write(),
the function sleeps until FITHAW ioctl wakes up s_wait_unfrozen.
However, if ->freeze_fs fails, s_frozen is set to SB_UNFROZEN and then
freeze_super() returns an error number. In this case, FITHAW ioctl returns
EINVAL because s_frozen is already SB_UNFROZEN. There is no way to wake up
s_wait_unfrozen, so __generic_file_aio_write() sleeps infinitely.

At the moment we allow tasks to set their loginuid if they have
CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL. In reality we want tasks to set the loginuid when they
log in and it be impossible to ever reset. We had to make it mutable even
after it was once set (with the CAP) because on update and admin might have
to restart sshd. Now sshd would get his loginuid and the next user which
logged in using ssh would not be able to set his loginuid.
Systemd has changed how userspace works and allowed us to make the kernel
work the way it should. With systemd users (even admins) are not supposed
to restart services directly. The system will restart the service for
them. Thus since systemd is going to loginuid==-1, sshd would get -1, and
sshd would be allowed to set a new loginuid without special permissions.
If an admin in this system were to manually start an sshd he is inserting
himself into the system chain of trust and thus, logically, it's his
loginuid that should be used! Since we have old systems I make this a
Kconfig option.

Now that we use the VFS i_size field throughout XFS there is no need for the
i_new_size field any more given that the VFS i_size field gets updated
in ->write_end before unlocking the page, and thus is always uptodate when
writeback could see a page. Removing i_new_size also has the advantage that
we will never have to trim back di_size during a failed buffered write,
given that it never gets updated past i_size.
Note that currently the generic direct I/O code only updates i_size after
calling our end_io handler, which requires a small workaround to make
sure di_size actually makes it to disk. I hope to fix this properly in
the generic code.
A downside is that we lose the support for parallel non-overlapping O_DIRECT
appending writes that recently was added. I don't think keeping the complex
and fragile i_new_size infrastructure for this is a good tradeoff - if we
really care about parallel appending writers we should investigate turning
the iolock into a range lock, which would also allow for parallel
non-overlapping buffered writers.

There is no fundamental need to keep an in-memory inode size copy in the XFS
inode. We already have the on-disk value in the dinode, and the separate
in-memory copy that we need for regular files only in the XFS inode.
Remove the xfs_inode i_size field and change the XFS_ISIZE macro to use the
VFS inode i_size field for regular files. Switch code that was directly
accessing the i_size field in the xfs_inode to XFS_ISIZE, or in cases where
we are limited to regular files direct access of the VFS inode i_size field.
This also allows dropping some fairly complicated code in the write path
which dealt with keeping the xfs_inode i_size uptodate with the VFS i_size
that is getting updated inside ->write_end.
Note that we do not bother resetting the VFS i_size when truncating a file
that gets freed to zero as there is no point in doing so because the VFS inode
is no longer in use at this point. Just relax the assert in xfs_ifree to
only check the on-disk size instead.

Replace i_pin_wait, which is only used during synchronous inode flushing
with a bit waitqueue. This trades off a much smaller inode against
slightly slower wakeup performance, and saves 12 (32-bit) or 20 (64-bit)
bytes in the XFS inode.

We almost never block on i_flock, the exception is synchronous inode
flushing. Instead of bloating the inode with a 16/24-byte completion
that we abuse as a semaphore just implement it as a bitlock that uses
a bit waitqueue for the rare sleeping path. This primarily is a
tradeoff between a much smaller inode and a faster non-blocking
path vs faster wakeups, and we are much better off with the former.
A small downside is that we will lose lockdep checking for i_flock, but
given that it's always taken inside the ilock that should be acceptable.
Note that for example the inode writeback locking is implemented in a
very similar way.

To be used for bit wakeup i_flags needs to be an unsigned long or we'll
run into trouble on big endian systems. Because of the 1-byte i_update
field right after it this actually causes a fairly large size increase
on its own (4 or 8 bytes), but that increase will be more than offset
by the next two patches.
