commit f23ce757185319886ca80c4864ce5f81ac6cc9e9 upstream.

Currently the locking order of inode locks for directories that are not
in ancestor relationship is not defined because all operations that
needed to lock two directories like this were serialized by
sb-&gt;s_vfs_rename_mutex. However some filesystems need to lock two
subdirectories for RENAME_EXCHANGE operations and for this we need the
locking order established even for two tree-unrelated directories.
Provide a helper function lock_two_inodes() that establishes lock
ordering for any two inodes and use it in lock_two_directories().

commit ed5a7047d2011cb6b2bf84ceb6680124cc6a7d95 upstream.

[backport to 5.15.y, prior to vfsgid_t]

Currently setgid stripping in file_remove_privs()'s should_remove_suid()
helper is inconsistent with other parts of the vfs. Specifically, it only
raises ATTR_KILL_SGID if the inode is S_ISGID and S_IXGRP but not if the
inode isn't in the caller's groups and the caller isn't privileged over the
inode although we require this already in setattr_prepare() and
setattr_copy() and so all filesystem implement this requirement implicitly
because they have to use setattr_{prepare,copy}() anyway.

But the inconsistency shows up in setgid stripping bugs for overlayfs in
xfstests (e.g., generic/673, generic/683, generic/685, generic/686,
generic/687). For example, we test whether suid and setgid stripping works
correctly when performing various write-like operations as an unprivileged
user (fallocate, reflink, write, etc.):

echo "Test 1 - qa_user, non-exec file $verb"
setup_testfile
chmod a+rws $junk_file
commit_and_check "$qa_user" "$verb" 64k 64k

The test basically creates a file with 6666 permissions. While the file has
the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits set it does not have the S_IXGRP set. On a
regular filesystem like xfs what will happen is:

sys_fallocate()
-&gt; vfs_fallocate()
   -&gt; xfs_file_fallocate()
      -&gt; file_modified()
         -&gt; __file_remove_privs()
            -&gt; dentry_needs_remove_privs()
               -&gt; should_remove_suid()
            -&gt; __remove_privs()
               newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
               -&gt; notify_change()
                  -&gt; setattr_copy()

In should_remove_suid() we can see that ATTR_KILL_SUID is raised
unconditionally because the file in the test has S_ISUID set.

But we also see that ATTR_KILL_SGID won't be set because while the file
is S_ISGID it is not S_IXGRP (see above) which is a condition for
ATTR_KILL_SGID being raised.

So by the time we call notify_change() we have attr-&gt;ia_valid set to
ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_FORCE. Now notify_change() sees that
ATTR_KILL_SUID is set and does:

ia_valid = attr-&gt;ia_valid |= ATTR_MODE
attr-&gt;ia_mode = (inode-&gt;i_mode &amp; ~S_ISUID);

which means that when we call setattr_copy() later we will definitely
update inode-&gt;i_mode. Note that attr-&gt;ia_mode still contains S_ISGID.

Now we call into the filesystem's -&gt;setattr() inode operation which will
end up calling setattr_copy(). Since ATTR_MODE is set we will hit:

if (ia_valid &amp; ATTR_MODE) {
        umode_t mode = attr-&gt;ia_mode;
        vfsgid_t vfsgid = i_gid_into_vfsgid(mnt_userns, inode);
        if (!vfsgid_in_group_p(vfsgid) &amp;&amp;
            !capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(mnt_userns, inode, CAP_FSETID))
                mode &amp;= ~S_ISGID;
        inode-&gt;i_mode = mode;
}

and since the caller in the test is neither capable nor in the group of the
inode the S_ISGID bit is stripped.

But assume the file isn't suid then ATTR_KILL_SUID won't be raised which
has the consequence that neither the setgid nor the suid bits are stripped
even though it should be stripped because the inode isn't in the caller's
groups and the caller isn't privileged over the inode.

If overlayfs is in the mix things become a bit more complicated and the bug
shows up more clearly. When e.g., ovl_setattr() is hit from
ovl_fallocate()'s call to file_remove_privs() then ATTR_KILL_SUID and
ATTR_KILL_SGID might be raised but because the check in notify_change() is
questioning the ATTR_KILL_SGID flag again by requiring S_IXGRP for it to be
stripped the S_ISGID bit isn't removed even though it should be stripped:

sys_fallocate()
-&gt; vfs_fallocate()
   -&gt; ovl_fallocate()
      -&gt; file_remove_privs()
         -&gt; dentry_needs_remove_privs()
            -&gt; should_remove_suid()
         -&gt; __remove_privs()
            newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
            -&gt; notify_change()
               -&gt; ovl_setattr()
                  // TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS
                  -&gt; ovl_do_notify_change()
                     -&gt; notify_change()
                  // GIVE UP MOUNTER'S CREDS
     // TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS
     -&gt; vfs_fallocate()
        -&gt; xfs_file_fallocate()
           -&gt; file_modified()
              -&gt; __file_remove_privs()
                 -&gt; dentry_needs_remove_privs()
                    -&gt; should_remove_suid()
                 -&gt; __remove_privs()
                    newattrs.ia_valid = attr_force | kill;
                    -&gt; notify_change()

The fix for all of this is to make file_remove_privs()'s
should_remove_suid() helper to perform the same checks as we already
require in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and have notify_change()
not pointlessly requiring S_IXGRP again. It doesn't make any sense in the
first place because the caller must calculate the flags via
should_remove_suid() anyway which would raise ATTR_KILL_SGID.

While we're at it we move should_remove_suid() from inode.c to attr.c
where it belongs with the rest of the iattr helpers. Especially since it
returns ATTR_KILL_S{G,U}ID flags. We also rename it to
setattr_should_drop_suidgid() to better reflect that it indicates both
setuid and setgid bit removal and also that it returns attr flags.

Running xfstests with this doesn't report any regressions. We should really
try and use consistent checks.

commit ed5a7047d2011cb6b2bf84ceb6680124cc6a7d95 upstream.

Currently setgid stripping in file_remove_privs()'s should_remove_suid()

raises ATTR_KILL_SGID if the inode is S_ISGID and S_IXGRP but not if the

But the inconsistency shows up in setgid stripping bugs for overlayfs in
xfstests (e.g., generic/673, generic/683, generic/685, generic/686,
generic/687). For example, we test whether suid and setgid stripping works
correctly when performing various write-like operations as an unprivileged
user (fallocate, reflink, write, etc.):

echo "Test 1 - qa_user, non-exec file $verb"
setup_testfile
chmod a+rws $junk_file
commit_and_check "$qa_user" "$verb" 64k 64k

The test basically creates a file with 6666 permissions. While the file has
the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits set it does not have the S_IXGRP set. On a
regular filesystem like xfs what will happen is:

sys_fallocate()
-&gt; vfs_fallocate()
   -&gt; xfs_file_fallocate()
      -&gt; file_modified()
         -&gt; __file_remove_privs()
            -&gt; dentry_needs_remove_privs()
               -&gt; should_remove_suid()
            -&gt; __remove_privs()
               newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
               -&gt; notify_change()
                  -&gt; setattr_copy()

In should_remove_suid() we can see that ATTR_KILL_SUID is raised
unconditionally because the file in the test has S_ISUID set.

But we also see that ATTR_KILL_SGID won't be set because while the file
is S_ISGID it is not S_IXGRP (see above) which is a condition for
ATTR_KILL_SGID being raised.

So by the time we call notify_change() we have attr-&gt;ia_valid set to
ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_FORCE. Now notify_change() sees that
ATTR_KILL_SUID is set and does:

ia_valid = attr-&gt;ia_valid |= ATTR_MODE
attr-&gt;ia_mode = (inode-&gt;i_mode &amp; ~S_ISUID);

which means that when we call setattr_copy() later we will definitely
update inode-&gt;i_mode. Note that attr-&gt;ia_mode still contains S_ISGID.

Now we call into the filesystem's -&gt;setattr() inode operation which will
end up calling setattr_copy(). Since ATTR_MODE is set we will hit:

if (ia_valid &amp; ATTR_MODE) {
        umode_t mode = attr-&gt;ia_mode;
        vfsgid_t vfsgid = i_gid_into_vfsgid(mnt_userns, inode);
        if (!vfsgid_in_group_p(vfsgid) &amp;&amp;
            !capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(mnt_userns, inode, CAP_FSETID))
                mode &amp;= ~S_ISGID;
        inode-&gt;i_mode = mode;
}

and since the caller in the test is neither capable nor in the group of the
inode the S_ISGID bit is stripped.

But assume the file isn't suid then ATTR_KILL_SUID won't be raised which
has the consequence that neither the setgid nor the suid bits are stripped
even though it should be stripped because the inode isn't in the caller's
groups and the caller isn't privileged over the inode.

stripped the S_ISGID bit isn't removed even though it should be stripped:

sys_fallocate()

   -&gt; ovl_fallocate()
      -&gt; file_remove_privs()
         -&gt; dentry_needs_remove_privs()
            -&gt; should_remove_suid()
         -&gt; __remove_privs()
            newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
            -&gt; notify_change()
               -&gt; ovl_setattr()
                  // TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS
                  -&gt; ovl_do_notify_change()
                     -&gt; notify_change()
                  // GIVE UP MOUNTER'S CREDS
     // TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS
     -&gt; vfs_fallocate()
        -&gt; xfs_file_fallocate()
           -&gt; file_modified()
              -&gt; __file_remove_privs()
                 -&gt; dentry_needs_remove_privs()
                    -&gt; should_remove_suid()
                 -&gt; __remove_privs()
                    newattrs.ia_valid = attr_force | kill;

Move the helper from inode.c to attr.c. This keeps the the core of the

It is the better place anyway, since should_remove_suid() returns
ATTR_KILL_S{G,U}ID flags.

[backport to 5.15.y, prior to vfsgid_t]

In setattr_{copy,prepare}() we need to perform the same permission
checks to determine whether we need to drop the setgid bit or not.
Instead of open-coding it twice add a simple helper the encapsulates the
logic. We will reuse this helpers to make dropping the setgid bit during
write operations more consistent in a follow up patch.

commit 1639a49ccdce58ea248841ed9b23babcce6dbb0b upsream.

Move setgid handling out of individual filesystems and into the VFS
itself to stop the proliferation of setgid inheritance bugs.

Creating files that have both the S_IXGRP and S_ISGID bit raised in
directories that themselves have the S_ISGID bit set requires additional
privileges to avoid security issues.

When a filesystem creates a new inode it needs to take care that the
caller is either in the group of the newly created inode or they have
CAP_FSETID in their current user namespace and are privileged over the
parent directory of the new inode. If any of these two conditions is
true then the S_ISGID bit can be raised for an S_IXGRP file and if not
it needs to be stripped.

However, there are several key issues with the current implementation:

* S_ISGID stripping logic is entangled with umask stripping.

  If a filesystem doesn't support or enable POSIX ACLs then umask
  stripping is done directly in the vfs before calling into the
  filesystem.
  If the filesystem does support POSIX ACLs then unmask stripping may be
  done in the filesystem itself when calling posix_acl_create().

  Since umask stripping has an effect on S_ISGID inheritance, e.g., by
  stripping the S_IXGRP bit from the file to be created and all relevant
  filesystems have to call posix_acl_create() before inode_init_owner()
  where we currently take care of S_ISGID handling S_ISGID handling is
  order dependent. IOW, whether or not you get a setgid bit depends on
  POSIX ACLs and umask and in what order they are called.

  Note that technically filesystems are free to impose their own
  ordering between posix_acl_create() and inode_init_owner() meaning
  that there's additional ordering issues that influence S_SIGID
  inheritance.

* Filesystems that don't rely on inode_init_owner() don't get S_ISGID
  stripping logic.

  While that may be intentional (e.g. network filesystems might just
  defer setgid stripping to a server) it is often just a security issue.

This is not just ugly it's unsustainably messy especially since we do
still have bugs in this area years after the initial round of setgid
bugfixes.

So the current state is quite messy and while we won't be able to make
it completely clean as posix_acl_create() is still a filesystem specific
call we can improve the S_SIGD stripping situation quite a bit by
hoisting it out of inode_init_owner() and into the vfs creation
operations. This means we alleviate the burden for filesystems to handle
S_ISGID stripping correctly and can standardize the ordering between
S_ISGID and umask stripping in the vfs.

We add a new helper vfs_prepare_mode() so S_ISGID handling is now done
in the VFS before umask handling. This has S_ISGID handling is
unaffected unaffected by whether umask stripping is done by the VFS
itself (if no POSIX ACLs are supported or enabled) or in the filesystem
in posix_acl_create() (if POSIX ACLs are supported).

The vfs_prepare_mode() helper is called directly in vfs_*() helpers that
create new filesystem objects. We need to move them into there to make
sure that filesystems like overlayfs hat have callchains like:

sys_mknod()
-&gt; do_mknodat(mode)
   -&gt; .mknod = ovl_mknod(mode)
      -&gt; ovl_create(mode)
         -&gt; vfs_mknod(mode)

get S_ISGID stripping done when calling into lower filesystems via
vfs_*() creation helpers. Moving vfs_prepare_mode() into e.g.
vfs_mknod() takes care of that. This is in any case semantically cleaner
because S_ISGID stripping is VFS security requirement.

Security hooks so far have seen the mode with the umask applied but
without S_ISGID handling done. The relevant hooks are called outside of
vfs_*() creation helpers so by calling vfs_prepare_mode() from vfs_*()
helpers the security hooks would now see the mode without umask
stripping applied. For now we fix this by passing the mode with umask
settings applied to not risk any regressions for LSM hooks. IOW, nothing
changes for LSM hooks. It is worth pointing out that security hooks
never saw the mode that is seen by the filesystem when actually creating
the file. They have always been completely misplaced for that to work.

The following filesystems use inode_init_owner() and thus relied on
S_ISGID stripping: spufs, 9p, bfs, btrfs, ext2, ext4, f2fs, hfsplus,
hugetlbfs, jfs, minix, nilfs2, ntfs3, ocfs2, omfs, overlayfs, ramfs,
reiserfs, sysv, ubifs, udf, ufs, xfs, zonefs, bpf, tmpfs.

All of the above filesystems end up calling inode_init_owner() when new
filesystem objects are created through the -&gt;mkdir(), -&gt;mknod(),
-&gt;create(), -&gt;tmpfile(), -&gt;rename() inode operations.

Since directories always inherit the S_ISGID bit with the exception of
xfs when irix_sgid_inherit mode is turned on S_ISGID stripping doesn't
apply. The -&gt;symlink() and -&gt;link() inode operations trivially inherit
the mode from the target and the -&gt;rename() inode operation inherits the
mode from the source inode. All other creation inode operations will get
S_ISGID handling via vfs_prepare_mode() when called from their relevant
vfs_*() helpers.

In addition to this there are filesystems which allow the creation of
filesystem objects through ioctl()s or - in the case of spufs -
circumventing the vfs in other ways. If filesystem objects are created
through ioctl()s the vfs doesn't know about it and can't apply regular
permission checking including S_ISGID logic. Therfore, a filesystem
relying on S_ISGID stripping in inode_init_owner() in their ioctl()
callpath will be affected by moving this logic into the vfs. We audited
those filesystems:

* btrfs allows the creation of filesystem objects through various
  ioctls(). Snapshot creation literally takes a snapshot and so the mode
  is fully preserved and S_ISGID stripping doesn't apply.

  Creating a new subvolum relies on inode_init_owner() in
  btrfs_new_subvol_inode() but only creates directories and doesn't
  raise S_ISGID.

* ocfs2 has a peculiar implementation of reflinks. In contrast to e.g.
  xfs and btrfs FICLONE/FICLONERANGE ioctl() that is only concerned with
  the actual extents ocfs2 uses a separate ioctl() that also creates the
  target file.

  Iow, ocfs2 circumvents the vfs entirely here and did indeed rely on
  inode_init_owner() to strip the S_ISGID bit. This is the only place
  where a filesystem needs to call mode_strip_sgid() directly but this
  is self-inflicted pain.

* spufs doesn't go through the vfs at all and doesn't use ioctl()s
  either. Instead it has a dedicated system call spufs_create() which
  allows the creation of filesystem objects. But spufs only creates
  directories and doesn't allo S_SIGID bits, i.e. it specifically only
  allows 0777 bits.

* bpf uses vfs_mkobj() but also doesn't allow S_ISGID bits to be created.

The patch will have an effect on ext2 when the EXT2_MOUNT_GRPID mount
option is used, on ext4 when the EXT4_MOUNT_GRPID mount option is used,
and on xfs when the XFS_FEAT_GRPID mount option is used. When any of
these filesystems are mounted with their respective GRPID option then
newly created files inherit the parent directories group
unconditionally. In these cases non of the filesystems call
inode_init_owner() and thus did never strip the S_ISGID bit for newly
created files. Moving this logic into the VFS means that they now get
the S_ISGID bit stripped. This is a user visible change. If this leads
to regressions we will either need to figure out a better way or we need
to revert. However, given the various setgid bugs that we found just in
the last two years this is a regression risk we should take.

Associated with this change is a new set of fstests to enforce the
semantics for all new filesystems.

commit 1639a49ccdce58ea248841ed9b23babcce6dbb0b upsream.

Move setgid handling out of individual filesystems and into the VFS
itself to stop the proliferation of setgid inheritance bugs.

Creating files that have both the S_IXGRP and S_ISGID bit raised in
directories that themselves have the S_ISGID bit set requires additional
privileges to avoid security issues.

When a filesystem creates a new inode it needs to take care that the
caller is either in the group of the newly created inode or they have
CAP_FSETID in their current user namespace and are privileged over the
parent directory of the new inode. If any of these two conditions is
true then the S_ISGID bit can be raised for an S_IXGRP file and if not
it needs to be stripped.

However, there are several key issues with the current implementation:

* S_ISGID stripping logic is entangled with umask stripping.

  If a filesystem doesn't support or enable POSIX ACLs then umask
  stripping is done directly in the vfs before calling into the
  filesystem.
  If the filesystem does support POSIX ACLs then unmask stripping may be
  done in the filesystem itself when calling posix_acl_create().

  Since umask stripping has an effect on S_ISGID inheritance, e.g., by
  stripping the S_IXGRP bit from the file to be created and all relevant
  filesystems have to call posix_acl_create() before inode_init_owner()
  where we currently take care of S_ISGID handling S_ISGID handling is
  order dependent. IOW, whether or not you get a setgid bit depends on
  POSIX ACLs and umask and in what order they are called.

  Note that technically filesystems are free to impose their own
  ordering between posix_acl_create() and inode_init_owner() meaning
  that there's additional ordering issues that influence S_SIGID
  inheritance.

* Filesystems that don't rely on inode_init_owner() don't get S_ISGID
  stripping logic.

  While that may be intentional (e.g. network filesystems might just
  defer setgid stripping to a server) it is often just a security issue.

commit 2b3416ceff5e6bd4922f6d1c61fb68113dd82302 upsream.

Add a dedicated helper to handle the setgid bit when creating a new file
in a setgid directory. This is a preparatory patch for moving setgid
stripping into the vfs. The patch contains no functional changes.

Currently the setgid stripping logic is open-coded directly in
inode_init_owner() and the individual filesystems are responsible for
handling setgid inheritance. Since this has proven to be brittle as
evidenced by old issues we uncovered over the last months (see [1] to
[3] below) we will try to move this logic into the vfs.

commit 2e488f13755ffbb60f307e991b27024716a33b29 upstream.

In alloc_inode, inode_init_always() could return -ENOMEM if
security_inode_alloc() fails, which causes inode-&gt;i_private
uninitialized. Then nilfs_is_metadata_file_inode() returns
true and nilfs_free_inode() wrongly calls nilfs_mdt_destroy(),
which frees the uninitialized inode-&gt;i_private
and leads to crashes(e.g., UAF/GPF).

Fix this by moving security_inode_alloc just prior to
this_cpu_inc(nr_inodes)

commit 10e14073107dd0b6d97d9516a02845a8e501c2c9 upstream.

Commit b35250c0816c ("writeback: Protect inode-&gt;i_io_list with
inode-&gt;i_lock") made inode-&gt;i_io_list not only protected by
wb-&gt;list_lock but also inode-&gt;i_lock, but inode_io_list_move_locked()
was missed. Add lock there and also update comment describing
things protected by inode-&gt;i_lock. This also fixes a race where
__mark_inode_dirty() could move inode under flush worker's hands
and thus sync(2) could miss writing some inodes.

commit 10e14073107dd0b6d97d9516a02845a8e501c2c9 upstream.

Commit b35250c0816c ("writeback: Protect inode-&gt;i_io_list with
inode-&gt;i_lock") made inode-&gt;i_io_list not only protected by
wb-&gt;list_lock but also inode-&gt;i_lock, but inode_io_list_move_locked()
was missed. Add lock there and also update comment describing
things protected by inode-&gt;i_lock. This also fixes a race where
__mark_inode_dirty() could move inode under flush worker's hands
and thus sync(2) could miss writing some inodes.

commit e60feb445fce9e51c1558a6aa7faf9dd5ded533b upstream.

If you already have an inode and need to update the time on the inode
there is no way to do this properly.  Export this helper to allow file
systems to update time on the inode so the appropriate handler is
called, either -&gt;update_time or generic_update_time.

<title>mm: Fully initialize invalidate_lock, amend lock class later</title>

The function __init_rwsem() is not part of the official API, it just a helper
function used by init_rwsem().
Changing the lock's class and name should be done by using
lockdep_set_class_and_name() after the has been fully initialized. The overhead
of the additional class struct and setting it twice is negligible and it works
across all locks.

Fully initialize the lock with init_rwsem() and then set the custom class and
name for the lock.
