Revert "fs: make vfs_fileattr_[get|set] return -EOPNOTSUPP"

2025-10-10T11:44:03Z

This reverts commit 474b155adf3927d2c944423045757b54aa1ca4de. This patch caused regression in ioctl_setflags(). Underlying filesystems use EOPNOTSUPP to indicate that flag is not supported. This error is also gets converted in ioctl_setflags(). Therefore, for unsupported flags error changed from EOPNOSUPP to ENOIOCTLCMD.

To keep ovl's inodes consistent with their real inodes, create a new mask for inode file attributes that needs to be copied. Add the S_CASEFOLD flag as part of the flags that need to be copied along with the other file attributes. Reviewed-by: Amir Goldstein Signed-off-by: André Almeida Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein

Now that we expose struct file_attr as our uapi struct rename all the internal struct to struct file_kattr to clearly communicate that it is a kernel internal struct. This is similar to struct mount_{k}attr and others. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20250703-restlaufzeit-baurecht-9ed44552b481@brauner Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner

fs: make vfs_fileattr_[get|set] return -EOPNOTSUPP

2025-07-02T12:29:10Z

Future patches will add new syscalls which use these functions. As this interface won't be used for ioctls only, the EOPNOSUPP is more appropriate return code. This patch converts return code from ENOIOCTLCMD to EOPNOSUPP for vfs_fileattr_get and vfs_fileattr_set. To save old behavior translate EOPNOSUPP back for current users - overlayfs, encryptfs and fs/ioctl.c.

Pull overlayfs updates from Amir Goldstein: - Fix a syzbot reported NULL pointer deref with bfs lower layers - Fix a copy up failure of large file from lower fuse fs - Followup cleanup of backing_file API from Miklos - Introduction and use of revert/override_creds_light() helpers, that were suggested by Christian as a mitigation to cache line bouncing and false sharing of fields in overlayfs creator_cred long lived struct cred copy. - Store up to two backing file references (upper and lower) in an ovl_file container instead of storing a single backing file in file->private_data. This is used to avoid the practice of opening a short lived backing file for the duration of some file operations and to avoid the specialized use of FDPUT_FPUT in such occasions, that was getting in the way of Al's fd_file() conversions. * tag 'ovl-update-6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/overlayfs/vfs: ovl: Filter invalid inodes with missing lookup function ovl: convert ovl_real_fdget() callers to ovl_real_file() ovl: convert ovl_real_fdget_path() callers to ovl_real_file_path() ovl: store upper real file in ovl_file struct ovl: allocate a container struct ovl_file for ovl private context ovl: do not open non-data lower file for fsync ovl: Optimize override/revert creds ovl: pass an explicit reference of creators creds to callers ovl: use wrapper ovl_revert_creds() fs/backing-file: Convert to revert/override_creds_light() cred: Add a light version of override/revert_creds() backing-file: clean up the API ovl: properly handle large files in ovl_security_fileattr

fs: Simplify getattr interface function checking AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag

2024-11-13T16:46:29Z

Commit 8a924db2d7b5 ("fs: Pass AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to getattr interface function")' introduced the AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to ensure that the call paths only call vfs_getattr_nosec if it is set instead of vfs_getattr. Now, simplify the getattr interface functions of filesystems where the flag AT_GETATTR_NOSEC is checked. There is only a single caller of inode_operations getattr function and it is located in fs/stat.c in vfs_getattr_nosec. The caller there is the only one from which the AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag is passed from. Two filesystems are checking this flag in .getattr and the flag is always passed to them unconditionally from only vfs_getattr_nosec: - ecryptfs: Simplify by always calling vfs_getattr_nosec in ecryptfs_getattr. From there the flag is passed to no other function and this function is not called otherwise. - overlayfs: Simplify by always calling vfs_getattr_nosec in ovl_getattr. From there the flag is passed to no other function and this function is not called otherwise. The query_flags in vfs_getattr_nosec will mask-out AT_GETATTR_NOSEC from any caller using AT_STATX_SYNC_TYPE as mask so that the flag is not important inside this function. Also, since no filesystem is checking the flag anymore, remove the flag entirely now, including the BUG_ON check that never triggered. The net change of the changes here combined with the original commit is that ecryptfs and overlayfs do not call vfs_getattr but only vfs_getattr_nosec.

ovl: properly handle large files in ovl_security_fileattr

2024-11-11T09:44:36Z

dentry_open in ovl_security_fileattr fails for any file larger than 2GB if open method of the underlying filesystem calls generic_file_open (e.g. fusefs). The issue can be reproduce using the following script: (passthrough_ll is an example app from libfuse). $ D=/opt/test/mnt $ mkdir -p ${D}/{source,base,top/uppr,top/work,ovlfs} $ dd if=/dev/zero of=${D}/source/zero.bin bs=1G count=2 $ passthrough_ll -o source=${D}/source ${D}/base $ mount -t overlay overlay \ -olowerdir=${D}/base,upperdir=${D}/top/uppr,workdir=${D}/top/work \ ${D}/ovlfs $ chmod 0777 ${D}/mnt/ovlfs/zero.bin Running this script results in "Value too large for defined data type" error message from chmod.

fs: Pass AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to getattr interface function

2023-11-18T13:54:07Z

When vfs_getattr_nosec() calls a filesystem's getattr interface function then the 'nosec' should propagate into this function so that vfs_getattr_nosec() can again be called from the filesystem's gettattr rather than vfs_getattr(). The latter would add unnecessary security checks that the initial vfs_getattr_nosec() call wanted to avoid. Therefore, introduce the getattr flag GETATTR_NOSEC and allow to pass with the new getattr_flags parameter to the getattr interface function. In overlayfs and ecryptfs use this flag to determine which one of the two functions to call. In a recent code change introduced to IMA vfs_getattr_nosec() ended up calling vfs_getattr() in overlayfs, which in turn called security_inode_getattr() on an exiting process that did not have current->fs set anymore, which then caused a kernel NULL pointer dereference. With this change the call to security_inode_getattr() can be avoided, thus avoiding the NULL pointer dereference.
