kernel/user: Allow user_struct::locked_vm to be usable for iommufd

2022-12-01T00:16:49+00:00

Following the pattern of io_uring, perf, skb, and bpf, iommfd will use
user->locked_vm for accounting pinned pages. Ensure the value is included
in the struct and export free_uid() as iommufd is modular.

user->locked_vm is the good accounting to use for ulimit because it is
per-user, and the security sandboxing of locked pages is not supposed to
be per-process. Other places (vfio, vdpa and infiniband) have used
mm->pinned_vm and/or mm->locked_vm for accounting pinned pages, but this
is only per-process and inconsistent with the new FOLL_LONGTERM users in
the kernel.

Concurrent work is underway to try to put this in a cgroup, so everything
can be consistent and the kernel can provide a FOLL_LONGTERM limit that
actually provides security.

fs/epoll: use a per-cpu counter for user's watches count

2021-09-08T18:50:27+00:00

This counter tracks the number of watches a user has, to compare against
the 'max_user_watches' limit. This causes a scalability bottleneck on
SPECjbb2015 on large systems as there is only one user. Changing to a
per-cpu counter increases throughput of the benchmark by about 30% on a
16-socket, > 1000 thread system.

Reimplement RLIMIT_MEMLOCK on top of ucounts

2021-04-30T19:14:02+00:00

The rlimit counter is tied to uid in the user_namespace. This allows
rlimit values to be specified in userns even if they are already
globally exceeded by the user. However, the value of the previous
user_namespaces cannot be exceeded.

Changelog

v11:
* Fix issue found by lkp robot.

v8:
* Fix issues found by lkp-tests project.

v7:
* Keep only ucounts for RLIMIT_MEMLOCK checks instead of struct cred.

v6:
* Fix bug in hugetlb_file_setup() detected by trinity.

Reimplement RLIMIT_NPROC on top of ucounts

2021-04-30T19:14:01+00:00

The rlimit counter is tied to uid in the user_namespace. This allows
rlimit values to be specified in userns even if they are already
globally exceeded by the user. However, the value of the previous
user_namespaces cannot be exceeded.

To illustrate the impact of rlimits, let's say there is a program that
does not fork. Some service-A wants to run this program as user X in
multiple containers. Since the program never fork the service wants to
set RLIMIT_NPROC=1.

service-A
 \- program (uid=1000, container1, rlimit_nproc=1)
 \- program (uid=1000, container2, rlimit_nproc=1)

The service-A sets RLIMIT_NPROC=1 and runs the program in container1.
When the service-A tries to run a program with RLIMIT_NPROC=1 in
container2 it fails since user X already has one running process.

We cannot use existing inc_ucounts / dec_ucounts because they do not
allow us to exceed the maximum for the counter. Some rlimits can be
overlimited by root or if the user has the appropriate capability.

Changelog

v11:
* Change inc_rlimit_ucounts() which now returns top value of ucounts.
* Drop inc_rlimit_ucounts_and_test() because the return code of
  inc_rlimit_ucounts() can be checked.

user: Use generic ns_common::count

2020-08-19T12:14:12+00:00

Switch over user namespaces to use the newly introduced common lifetime
counter.

Currently every namespace type has its own lifetime counter which is stored
in the specific namespace struct. The lifetime counters are used
identically for all namespaces types. Namespaces may of course have
additional unrelated counters and these are not altered.

This introduces a common lifetime counter into struct ns_common. The
ns_common struct encompasses information that all namespaces share. That
should include the lifetime counter since its common for all of them.

It also allows us to unify the type of the counters across all namespaces.
Most of them use refcount_t but one uses atomic_t and at least one uses
kref. Especially the last one doesn't make much sense since it's just a
wrapper around refcount_t since 2016 and actually complicates cleanup
operations by having to use container_of() to cast the correct namespace
struct out of struct ns_common.

Having the lifetime counter for the namespaces in one place reduces
maintenance cost. Not just because after switching all namespaces over we
will have removed more code than we added but also because the logic is
more easily understandable and we indicate to the user that the basic
lifetime requirements for all namespaces are currently identical.

Merge tag 'keys-namespace-20190627' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

2019-07-09T02:36:47+00:00

Pull keyring namespacing from David Howells:
 "These patches help make keys and keyrings more namespace aware.

  Firstly some miscellaneous patches to make the process easier:

   - Simplify key index_key handling so that the word-sized chunks
     assoc_array requires don't have to be shifted about, making it
     easier to add more bits into the key.

   - Cache the hash value in the key so that we don't have to calculate
     on every key we examine during a search (it involves a bunch of
     multiplications).

   - Allow keying_search() to search non-recursively.

  Then the main patches:

   - Make it so that keyring names are per-user_namespace from the point
     of view of KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING so that they're not
     accessible cross-user_namespace.

     keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEYRING_NAME for this.

   - Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace
     rather than the user_struct. This prevents them propagating
     directly across user_namespaces boundaries (ie. the KEY_SPEC_*
     flags will only pick from the current user_namespace).

   - Make it possible to include the target namespace in which the key
     shall operate in the index_key. This will allow the possibility of
     multiple keys with the same description, but different target
     domains to be held in the same keyring.

     keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEY_TAG for this.

   - Make it so that keys are implicitly invalidated by removal of a
     domain tag, causing them to be garbage collected.

   - Institute a network namespace domain tag that allows keys to be
     differentiated by the network namespace in which they operate. New
     keys that are of a type marked 'KEY_TYPE_NET_DOMAIN' are assigned
     the network domain in force when they are created.

   - Make it so that the desired network namespace can be handed down
     into the request_key() mechanism. This allows AFS, NFS, etc. to
     request keys specific to the network namespace of the superblock.

     This also means that the keys in the DNS record cache are
     thenceforth namespaced, provided network filesystems pass the
     appropriate network namespace down into dns_query().

     For DNS, AFS and NFS are good, whilst CIFS and Ceph are not. Other
     cache keyrings, such as idmapper keyrings, also need to set the
     domain tag - for which they need access to the network namespace of
     the superblock"

* tag 'keys-namespace-20190627' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs:
  keys: Pass the network namespace into request_key mechanism
  keys: Network namespace domain tag
  keys: Garbage collect keys for which the domain has been removed
  keys: Include target namespace in match criteria
  keys: Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace
  keys: Namespace keyring names
  keys: Add a 'recurse' flag for keyring searches
  keys: Cache the hash value to avoid lots of recalculation
  keys: Simplify key description management

keys: Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace

2019-06-26T20:02:32+00:00

Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace struct rather
than pinning them from the user_struct struct.  This prevents these
keyrings from propagating across user-namespaces boundaries with regard to
the KEY_SPEC_* flags, thereby making them more useful in a containerised
environment.

The issue is that a single user_struct may be represent UIDs in several
different namespaces.

The way the patch does this is by attaching a 'register keyring' in each
user_namespace and then sticking the user and user-session keyrings into
that.  It can then be searched to retrieve them.

keys: Namespace keyring names

2019-06-26T20:02:32+00:00

Keyring names are held in a single global list that any process can pick
from by means of keyctl_join_session_keyring (provided the keyring grants
Search permission).  This isn't very container friendly, however.

Make the following changes:

 (1) Make default session, process and thread keyring names begin with a
     '.' instead of '_'.

 (2) Keyrings whose names begin with a '.' aren't added to the list.  Such
     keyrings are system specials.

 (3) Replace the global list with per-user_namespace lists.  A keyring adds
     its name to the list for the user_namespace that it is currently in.

 (4) When a user_namespace is deleted, it just removes itself from the
     keyring name list.

The global keyring_name_lock is retained for accessing the name lists.
This allows (4) to work.

This can be tested by:

	# keyctl newring foo @s
	995906392
	# unshare -U
	$ keyctl show
	...
	 995906392 --alswrv  65534 65534   \_ keyring: foo
	...
	$ keyctl session foo
	Joined session keyring: 935622349

As can be seen, a new session keyring was created.

The capability bit KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEYRING_NAME is set if the kernel is
employing this feature.
