The only thing it's using is parent directory inode and we are already
given a stable reference to that - no need to bother with boilerplate.

<title>Pass parent directory inode and expected name to -&gt;d_revalidate()</title>

<content type='text'>
-&gt;d_revalidate() often needs to access dentry parent and name; that has
to be done carefully, since the locking environment varies from caller
to caller.  We are not guaranteed that dentry in question will not be
moved right under us - not unless the filesystem is such that nothing
on it ever gets renamed.

It can be dealt with, but that results in boilerplate code that isn't
even needed - the callers normally have just found the dentry via dcache
lookup and want to verify that it's in the right place; they already
have the values of -&gt;d_parent and -&gt;d_name stable.  There is a couple
of exceptions (overlayfs and, to less extent, ecryptfs), but for the
majority of calls that song and dance is not needed at all.

It's easier to make ecryptfs and overlayfs find and pass those values if
there's a -&gt;d_revalidate() instance to be called, rather than doing that
in the instances.

This commit only changes the calling conventions; making use of supplied
values is left to followups.

NOTE: some instances need more than just the parent - things like CIFS
may need to build an entire path from filesystem root, so they need
more precautions than the usual boilerplate.  This series doesn't
do anything to that need - these filesystems have to keep their locking
mechanisms (rename_lock loops, use of dentry_path_raw(), private rwsem
a-la v9fs).

One thing to keep in mind when using name is that name-&gt;name will normally
point into the pathname being resolved; the filename in question occupies
name-&gt;len bytes starting at name-&gt;name, and there is NUL somewhere after it,
but it the next byte might very well be '/' rather than '\0'.  Do not
ignore name-&gt;len.

use WARN_ON_ONCE instead of WARN_ON.  This barely adds any extra
overhead, and it makes it so that if any of these ever becomes reachable
(they shouldn't, but that's the point), the logs can't be flooded.

<title>fscrypt: export fscrypt_fname_encrypt and fscrypt_fname_encrypted_size</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d3e94fdc4ef476ca1edd468cc11badf2dbbb3c00</id>
<content type='text'>
For ceph, we want to use our own scheme for handling filenames that are
are longer than NAME_MAX after encryption and Base64 encoding. This
allows us to have a consistent view of the encrypted filenames for
clients that don't support fscrypt and clients that do but that don't
have the key.

Currently, fs/crypto only supports encrypting filenames using
fscrypt_setup_filename, but that also handles encoding nokey names. Ceph
can't use that because it handles nokey names in a different way.

Export fscrypt_fname_encrypt. Rename fscrypt_fname_encrypted_size to
__fscrypt_fname_encrypted_size and add a new wrapper called
fscrypt_fname_encrypted_size that takes an inode argument rather than a
pointer to a fscrypt_policy union.

<title>fscrypt: split up FS_CRYPTO_BLOCK_SIZE</title>

FS_CRYPTO_BLOCK_SIZE is neither the filesystem block size nor the
granularity of encryption.  Rather, it defines two logically separate
constraints that both arise from the block size of the AES cipher:

- The alignment required for the lengths of file contents blocks
- The minimum input/output length for the filenames encryption modes

Since there are way too many things called the "block size", and the
connection with the AES block size is not easily understood, split
FS_CRYPTO_BLOCK_SIZE into two constants FSCRYPT_CONTENTS_ALIGNMENT and
FSCRYPT_FNAME_MIN_MSG_LEN that more clearly describe what they are.

The max_namelen field is unnecessary, as it is set to 255 (NAME_MAX) on
all filesystems that support fscrypt (or plan to support fscrypt).  For
simplicity, just use NAME_MAX directly instead.

<title>fscrypt: align Base64 encoding with RFC 4648 base64url</title>
<updated>2021-07-26T03:47:05Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Eric Biggers</name>
</author>
<published>2021-07-18T00:01:25Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=ba47b515f59406038a6ad763d4aff1ab50be2038'/>
<id>urn:sha1:ba47b515f59406038a6ad763d4aff1ab50be2038</id>
<content type='text'>
fscrypt uses a Base64 encoding to encode no-key filenames (the filenames
that are presented to userspace when a directory is listed without its
encryption key).  There are many variants of Base64, but the most common
ones are specified by RFC 4648.  fscrypt can't use the regular RFC 4648
"base64" variant because "base64" uses the '/' character, which isn't
allowed in filenames.  However, RFC 4648 also specifies a "base64url"
variant for use in URLs and filenames.  "base64url" is less common than
"base64", but it's still implemented in many programming libraries.

Unfortunately, what fscrypt actually uses is a custom Base64 variant
that differs from "base64url" in several ways:

- The binary data is divided into 6-bit chunks differently.

- Values 62 and 63 are encoded with '+' and ',' instead of '-' and '_'.

- '='-padding isn't used.  This isn't a problem per se, as the padding
  isn't technically necessary, and RFC 4648 doesn't strictly require it.
  But it needs to be properly documented.

There have been two attempts to copy the fscrypt Base64 code into lib/
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200821182813.52570-6-jlayton@kernel.org and
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210716110428.9727-5-hare@suse.de), and both
have been caught up by the fscrypt Base64 variant being nonstandard and
not properly documented.  Also, the planned use of the fscrypt Base64
code in the CephFS storage back-end will prevent it from being changed
later (whereas currently it can still be changed), so we need to choose
an encoding that we're happy with before it's too late.

Therefore, switch the fscrypt Base64 variant to base64url, in order to
align more closely with RFC 4648 and other implementations and uses of
Base64.  However, I opted not to implement '='-padding, as '='-padding
adds complexity, is unnecessary, and isn't required by the RFC.

<title>fscrypt: don't ignore minor_hash when hash is 0</title>
<updated>2021-06-05T07:22:53Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=77f30bfcfcf484da7208affd6a9e63406420bf91'/>
<id>urn:sha1:77f30bfcfcf484da7208affd6a9e63406420bf91</id>
<content type='text'>
When initializing a no-key name, fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr() sets the
minor_hash to 0 if the (major) hash is 0.

This doesn't make sense because 0 is a valid hash code, so we shouldn't
ignore the filesystem-provided minor_hash in that case.  Fix this by
removing the special case for 'hash == 0'.

This is an old bug that appears to have originated when the encryption
code in ext4 and f2fs was moved into fs/crypto/.  The original ext4 and
f2fs code passed the hash by pointer instead of by value.  So
'if (hash)' actually made sense then, as it was checking whether a
pointer was NULL.  But now the hashes are passed by value, and
filesystems just pass 0 for any hashes they don't have.  There is no
need to handle this any differently from the hashes actually being 0.

It is difficult to reproduce this bug, as it only made a difference in
the case where a filename's 32-bit major hash happened to be 0.
However, it probably had the largest chance of causing problems on
ubifs, since ubifs uses minor_hash to do lookups of no-key names, in
addition to using it as a readdir cookie.  ext4 only uses minor_hash as
a readdir cookie, and f2fs doesn't use minor_hash at all.
