* fs: Better permission checking for submountsEric W. Biederman2022-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 93faccbbfa958a9668d3ab4e30f38dd205cee8d8 upstream. To support unprivileged users mounting filesystems two permission checks have to be performed: a test to see if the user allowed to create a mount in the mount namespace, and a test to see if the user is allowed to access the specified filesystem. The automount case is special in that mounting the original filesystem grants permission to mount the sub-filesystems, to any user who happens to stumble across the their mountpoint and satisfies the ordinary filesystem permission checks. Attempting to handle the automount case by using override_creds almost works. It preserves the idea that permission to mount the original filesystem is permission to mount the sub-filesystem. Unfortunately using override_creds messes up the filesystems ordinary permission checks. Solve this by being explicit that a mount is a submount by introducing vfs_submount, and using it where appropriate. vfs_submount uses a new mount internal mount flags MS_SUBMOUNT, to let sget and friends know that a mount is a submount so they can take appropriate action. sget and sget_userns are modified to not perform any permission checks on submounts. follow_automount is modified to stop using override_creds as that has proven problemantic. do_mount is modified to always remove the new MS_SUBMOUNT flag so that we know userspace will never by able to specify it. autofs4 is modified to stop using current_real_cred that was put in there to handle the previous version of submount permission checking. cifs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to vfs_submount. debugfs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to trace_automount by adding a new parameter. To make this change easier a new typedef debugfs_automount_t is introduced to capture the type of the debugfs automount function.

| * f2fs: separate f2fs i_flags from fs_flags and ext4 i_flagsEric Biggers2019-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | f2fs copied all the on-disk i_flags from ext4, and along with it the assumption that the on-disk i_flags are the same as the bits used by FS_IOC_GETFLAGS and FS_IOC_SETFLAGS. This is problematic because reserving an on-disk inode flag in either filesystem's i_flags or in these ioctls effectively reserves it in all the other places too. In fact, most of the "f2fs i_flags" are not used by f2fs at all. Fix this by separating f2fs's i_flags from the ioctl bits and ext4's i_flags. In the process, un-reserve all "f2fs i_flags" that aren't actually supported by f2fs. This included various flags that were not settable at all, as well as various flags that were settable by FS_IOC_SETFLAGS but didn't actually do anything. There's a slight chance we'll need to add some flag(s) back to FS_IOC_SETFLAGS in order to avoid breaking users who expect f2fs to accept some random flag(s). But hopefully such users don't exist.

| * fscrypt: add Speck128/256 supportEric Biggers2018-06-28

However, many low-end mobile devices have older CPUs that don't have AES instructions, e.g. the ARMv8 Cryptography Extensions. Currently, user data on such devices is not encrypted at rest because AES is too slow, even when the NEON bit-sliced implementation of AES is used. Unfortunately, it is infeasible to encrypt these devices at all when AES is the only option. Therefore, this patch updates fscrypt to support the Speck block cipher, which was recently added to the crypto API. The C implementation of Speck is not especially fast, but Speck can be implemented very efficiently with general-purpose vector instructions, e.g. ARM NEON. For example, on an ARMv7 processor, we measured the NEON-accelerated Speck128/256-XTS at 69 MB/s for both encryption and decryption, while AES-256-XTS with the NEON bit-sliced implementation was only 22 MB/s encryption and 19 MB/s decryption. There are multiple variants of Speck. This patch only adds support for Speck128/256, which is the variant with a 128-bit block size and 256-bit key size -- the same as AES-256. This is believed to be the most secure variant of Speck, and it's only about 6% slower than Speck128/128. Speck64/128 would be at least 20% faster because it has 20% rounds, and it can be even faster on CPUs that can't efficiently do the 64-bit operations needed for Speck128. However, Speck64's 64-bit block size is not preferred security-wise. ARM NEON also supports the needed 64-bit operations even on 32-bit CPUs, resulting in Speck128 being fast enough for our targeted use cases so far. The chosen modes of operation are XTS for contents and CTS-CBC for filenames. These are the same modes of operation that fscrypt defaults to for AES. Note that as with the other fscrypt modes, Speck will not be used unless userspace chooses to use it. Nor are any of the existing modes (which are all AES-based) being removed, of course. We intentionally don't make CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION select CONFIG_CRYPTO_SPECK, so people will have to enable Speck support themselves if they need it. This is because we shouldn't bloat the FS_ENCRYPTION dependencies with every new cipher, especially ones that aren't recommended for most users. Moreover, CRYPTO_SPECK is just the generic implementation, which won't be fast enough for many users; in practice, they'll need to enable CRYPTO_SPECK_NEON to get acceptable performance. More details about our choice of Speck can be found in our patches that added Speck to the crypto API, and the follow-on discussion threads. We're planning a publication that explains the choice in more detail. But briefly, we can't use ChaCha20 as we previously proposed, since it would be insecure to use a stream cipher in this context, with potential IV reuse during writes on f2fs and/or on wear-leveling flash storage. We also evaluated many other lightweight and/or ARX-based block ciphers such as Chaskey-LTS, RC5, LEA, CHAM, Threefish, RC6, NOEKEON, SPARX, and XTEA. However, all had disadvantages vs. Speck, such as insufficient performance with NEON, much less published cryptanalysis, or an insufficient security level. Various design choices in Speck make it perform better with NEON than competing ciphers while still having a security margin similar to AES, and in the case of Speck128 also the same available security levels. Unfortunately, Speck does have some political baggage attached -- it's an NSA designed cipher, and was rejected from an ISO standard (though for context, as far as I know none of the above-mentioned alternatives are ISO standards either). Nevertheless, we believe it is a good solution to the problem from a technical perspective. Certain algorithms constructed from ChaCha or the ChaCha permutation, such as MEM (Masked Even-Mansour) or HPolyC, may also meet our performance requirements. However, these are new constructions that need more time to receive the cryptographic review and acceptance needed to be confident in their security. HPolyC hasn't been published yet, and we are concerned that MEM makes stronger assumptions about the underlying permutation than the ChaCha stream cipher does. In contrast, the XTS mode of operation is relatively well accepted, and Speck has over 70 cryptanalysis papers. Of course, these ChaCha-based algorithms can still be added later if they become ready. The best known attack on Speck128/256 is a differential cryptanalysis attack on 25 of 34 rounds with 2^253 time complexity and 2^125 chosen plaintexts, i.e. only marginally faster than brute force. There is no known attack on the full 34 rounds. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
| * fscrypt: add support for AES-128-CBCDaniel Walter2017-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fscrypt provides facilities to use different encryption algorithms which are selectable by userspace when setting the encryption policy. Currently, only AES-256-XTS for file contents and AES-256-CBC-CTS for file names are implemented. This is a clear case of kernel offers the mechanism and userspace selects a policy. Similar to what dm-crypt and ecryptfs have. This patch adds support for using AES-128-CBC for file contents and AES-128-CBC-CTS for file name encryption. To mitigate watermarking attacks, IVs are generated using the ESSIV algorithm. While AES-CBC is actually slightly less secure than AES-XTS from a security point of view, there is more widespread hardware support. Using AES-CBC gives us the acceptable performance while still providing a moderate level of security for persistent storage. Especially low-powered embedded devices with crypto accelerators such as CAAM or CESA often only support AES-CBC. Since using AES-CBC over AES-XTS is basically thought of a last resort, we use AES-128-CBC over AES-256-CBC since it has less encryption rounds and yields noticeable better performance starting from a file size of just a few kB.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit exposes the necessary constants and structures for a userspace program to pass filesystem encryption keys into the keyring. The fscrypt_key structure was already part of the kernel ABI, this change just makes it so programs no longer have to redeclare these structures (like e4crypt in e2fsprogs currently does). Note that we do not expose the other FS_*_KEY_SIZE constants as they are not necessary. Only XTS is supported for contents_encryption_mode, so currently FS_MAX_KEY_SIZE bytes of key material must always be passed to the kernel. This commit also removes __packed from fscrypt_key as it does not contain any implicit padding and does not refer to an on-disk structure.

* | ext4: Add support for FIDTRIM, a best-effort ioctl for deep discard trimJP Abgrall2016-02-16
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * What This provides an interface for issuing an FITRIM which uses the secure discard instead of just a discard. Only the eMMC command is "secure", and not how the FS uses it: due to the fact that the FS might reassign a region somewhere else, the original deleted data will not be affected by the "trim" which only handles un-used regions. So we'll just call it "deep discard", and note that this is a "best effort" cleanup. * Why Once in a while, We want to be able to cleanup most of the unused blocks after erasing a bunch of files. We don't want to constantly secure-discard via a mount option. From an eMMC spec perspective, it tells the device to really get rid of all the data for the specified blocks and not just put them back into the pool of free ones (unlike the normal TRIM). The eMMC spec says the secure trim handling must make sure the data (and metadata) is not available anymore. A simple TRIM doesn't clear the data, it just puts blocks in the free pool. JEDEC Standard No. 84-A441 7.6.9 Secure Erase 7.6.10 Secure Trim From an FS perspective, it is acceptable to leave some data behind. - directory entries related to deleted files - databases entries related to deleted files - small-file data stored in inode extents - blocks held by the FS waiting to be re-used (mitigated by sync). - blocks reassigned by the FS prior to FIDTRIM.

* vfs: add support for a lazytime mount optionTheodore Ts'o2015-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new mount option which enables a new "lazytime" mode. This mode causes atime, mtime, and ctime updates to only be made to the in-memory version of the inode. The on-disk times will only get updated when (a) if the inode needs to be updated for some non-time related change, (b) if userspace calls fsync(), syncfs() or sync(), or (c) just before an undeleted inode is evicted from memory. This is OK according to POSIX because there are no guarantees after a crash unless userspace explicitly requests via a fsync(2) call. For workloads which feature a large number of random write to a preallocated file, the lazytime mount option significantly reduces writes to the inode table. The repeated 4k writes to a single block will result in undesirable stress on flash devices and SMR disk drives. Even on conventional HDD's, the repeated writes to the inode table block will trigger Adjacent Track Interference (ATI) remediation latencies, which very negatively impact long tail latencies --- which is a very big deal for web serving tiers (for example).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If this flag is specified and the target of the rename exists then the rename syscall fails with EEXIST. The VFS does the existence checking, so it is trivial to enable for most local filesystems. This patch only enables it in ext4. For network filesystems the VFS check is not enough as there may be a race between a remote create and the rename, so these filesystems need to handle this flag in their ->rename() implementations to ensure atomicity. Andy writes about why this is useful: "The trivial answer: to eliminate the race condition from 'mv -i'. Another answer: there's a common pattern to atomically create a file with contents: open a temporary file, write to it, optionally fsync it, close it, then link(2) it to the final name, then unlink the temporary file. The reason to use link(2) is because it won't silently clobber the destination. This is annoying: - It requires an extra system call that shouldn't be necessary. - It doesn't work on (IMO sensible) filesystems that don't support hard links (e.g. vfat). - It's not atomic -- there's an intermediate state where both files exist. - It's ugly. The new rename flag will make this totally sensible. To be fair, on new enough kernels, you can also use O_TMPFILE and linkat to achieve the same thing even more cleanly."

It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs (for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in the near future with little or no modification. Let us know if you have any issues. * The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to manipulate the node lists individually. Given this infrastructure, we are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like it has been doing. Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a global lock. The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this change. Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were performance tested (details at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative behavior in NUMA machines. With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim. Historically, those two pieces of work have been posted together. This version presents only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time, so we can focus on getting this part tested.

Dave Chinner reported a problem with this while experimenting with the shrinker revamp patchset. So we believe it is time for a change. This patch just moves int to longs. Machines where it matters should have a big long anyway.

* mm: make snapshotting pages for stable writes a per-bio operationDarrick J. Wong2013-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Walking a bio's page mappings has proved problematic, so create a new bio flag to indicate that a bio's data needs to be snapshotted in order to guarantee stable pages during writeback. Next, for the one user (ext3/jbd) of snapshotting, hook all the places where writes can be initiated without PG_writeback set, and set BIO_SNAP_STABLE there. We must also flag journal "metadata" bios for stable writeout, since file data can be written through the journal. Finally, the MS_SNAP_STABLE mount flag (only used by ext3) is now superfluous, so get rid of it.

* block: optionally snapshot page contents to provide stable pages during writeDarrick J. Wong2013-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling schemes of jbd2. The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot page contents instead of waiting. For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking (which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude. If we're going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the complaints about high latency will likely return. We might as well centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.
