ovl: fix missing negative dentry check in ovl_rename()

2021-10-27T07:32:40Z

commit a295aef603e109a47af355477326bd41151765b6 upstream. The following reproducer mkdir lower upper work merge touch lower/old touch lower/new mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merge rm merge/new mv merge/old merge/new & unlink upper/new may result in this race: PROCESS A: rename("merge/old", "merge/new"); overwrite=true,ovl_lower_positive(old)=true, ovl_dentry_is_whiteout(new)=true -> flags |= RENAME_EXCHANGE PROCESS B: unlink("upper/new"); PROCESS A: lookup newdentry in new_upperdir call vfs_rename() with negative newdentry and RENAME_EXCHANGE Fix by adding the missing check for negative newdentry.

ovl: fix uid/gid when creating over whiteout

2019-04-27T07:33:59Z

[ Upstream commit d0e13f5bbe4be7c8f27736fc40503dcec04b7de0 ] Fix a regression when creating a file over a whiteout. The new file/directory needs to use the current fsuid/fsgid, not the ones from the mounter's credentials. The refcounting is a bit tricky: prepare_creds() sets an original refcount, override_creds() gets one more, which revert_cred() drops. So 1) we need to expicitly put the mounter's credentials when overriding with the updated one 2) we need to put the original ref to the updated creds (and this can safely be done before revert_creds(), since we'll still have the ref from override_creds()).

ovl: override creds with the ones from the superblock mounter

2018-09-15T07:40:41Z

commit 3fe6e52f062643676eb4518d68cee3bc1272091b upstream. In user namespace the whiteout creation fails with -EPERM because the current process isn't capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) when setting xattr. A simple reproducer: $ mkdir upper lower work merged lower/dir $ sudo mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merged $ unshare -m -p -f -U -r bash Now as root in the user namespace: \# touch merged/dir/{1,2,3} # this will force a copy up of lower/dir \# rm -fR merged/* This ends up failing with -EPERM after the files in dir has been correctly deleted: unlinkat(4, "2", 0) = 0 unlinkat(4, "1", 0) = 0 unlinkat(4, "3", 0) = 0 close(4) = 0 unlinkat(AT_FDCWD, "merged/dir", AT_REMOVEDIR) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted) Interestingly, if you don't place files in merged/dir you can remove it, meaning if upper/dir does not exist, creating the char device file works properly in that same location. This patch uses ovl_sb_creator_cred() to get the cred struct from the superblock mounter and override the old cred with these new ones so that the whiteout creation is possible because overlay is wrong in assuming that the creds it will get with prepare_creds will be in the initial user namespace. The old cap_raise game is removed in favor of just overriding the old cred struct. This patch also drops from ovl_copy_up_one() the following two lines: override_cred->fsuid = stat->uid; override_cred->fsgid = stat->gid; This is because the correct uid and gid are taken directly with the stat struct and correctly set with ovl_set_attr().

ovl: Fix info leak in ovl_lookup_temp()

2016-10-28T07:01:30Z

commit 6a45b3628ce4dcf7498b39c87d475bab6e2a9b24 upstream. The function uses the memory address of a struct dentry as unique id. While the address-based directory entry is only visible to root it is IMHO still worth fixing since the temporary name does not have to be a kernel address. It can be any unique number. Replace it by an atomic integer which is allowed to wrap around.

ovl: verify upper dentry before unlink and rename

2016-07-27T16:47:40Z

commit 11f3710417d026ea2f4fcf362d866342c5274185 upstream. Unlink and rename in overlayfs checked the upper dentry for staleness by verifying upper->d_parent against upperdir. However the dentry can go stale also by being unhashed, for example. Expand the verification to actually look up the name again (under parent lock) and check if it matches the upper dentry. This matches what the VFS does before passing the dentry to filesytem's unlink/rename methods, which excludes any inconsistency caused by overlayfs.

ovl: verify upper dentry in ovl_remove_and_whiteout()

2016-07-27T16:47:39Z

commit cfc9fde0b07c3b44b570057c5f93dda59dca1c94 upstream. The upper dentry may become stale before we call ovl_lock_rename_workdir. For example, someone could (mistakenly or maliciously) manually unlink(2) it directly from upperdir. To ensure it is not stale, let's lookup it after ovl_lock_rename_workdir and and check if it matches the upper dentry. Essentially, it is the same problem and similar solution as in commit 11f3710417d0 ("ovl: verify upper dentry before unlink and rename").

ovl: ignore lower entries when checking purity of non-directory entries

2016-03-16T15:42:59Z

commit 45d11738969633ec07ca35d75d486bf2d8918df6 upstream. After rename file dentry still holds reference to lower dentry from previous location. This doesn't matter for data access because data comes from upper dentry. But this stale lower dentry taints dentry at new location and turns it into non-pure upper. Such file leaves visible whiteout entry after remove in directory which shouldn't have whiteouts at all. Overlayfs already tracks pureness of file location in oe->opaque. This patch just uses that for detecting actual path type. Comment from Vivek Goyal's patch: Here are the details of the problem. Do following. $ mkdir upper lower work merged upper/dir/ $ touch lower/test $ sudo mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir= work merged $ mv merged/test merged/dir/ $ rm merged/dir/test $ ls -l merged/dir/ /usr/bin/ls: cannot access merged/dir/test: No such file or directory total 0 c????????? ? ? ? ? ? test Basic problem seems to be that once a file has been unlinked, a whiteout has been left behind which was not needed and hence it becomes visible. Whiteout is visible because parent dir is of not type MERGE, hence od->is_real is set during ovl_dir_open(). And that means ovl_iterate() passes on iterate handling directly to underlying fs. Underlying fs does not know/filter whiteouts so it becomes visible to user. Why did we leave a whiteout to begin with when we should not have. ovl_do_remove() checks for OVL_TYPE_PURE_UPPER() and does not leave whiteout if file is pure upper. In this case file is not found to be pure upper hence whiteout is left. So why file was not PURE_UPPER in this case? I think because dentry is still carrying some leftover state which was valid before rename. For example, od->numlower was set to 1 as it was a lower file. After rename, this state is not valid anymore as there is no such file in lower.

ovl: mount read-only if workdir can't be created

2015-05-19T12:30:12Z

OpenWRT folks reported that overlayfs fails to mount if upper fs is full, because workdir can't be created. Wordir creation can fail for various other reasons too. There's no reason that the mount itself should fail, overlayfs can work fine without a workdir, as long as the overlay isn't modified. So mount it read-only and don't allow remounting read-write. Add a couple of WARN_ON()s for the impossible case of workdir being used despite being read-only. Reported-by: Bastian Bittorf Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Cc: # v3.18+

ovl: don't remove non-empty opaque directory

2015-05-14T08:04:44Z

When removing an opaque directory we can't just call rmdir() to check for emptiness, because the directory will need to be replaced with a whiteout. The replacement is done with RENAME_EXCHANGE, which doesn't check emptiness. Solution is just to check emptiness by reading the directory. In the future we could add a new rename flag to check for emptiness even for RENAME_EXCHANGE to optimize this case.
