rename(): fix the locking of subdirectories
commit 22e111ed6c83dcde3037fc81176012721bc34c0b upstream.
We should never lock two subdirectories without having taken ->s_vfs_rename_mutex; inode pointer order or not, the "order" proposed in 28eceeda130f "fs: Lock moved directories" is not transitive, with the usual consequences.
The rationale for locking renamed subdirectory in all cases was the possibility of race between rename modifying .. in a subdirectory to reflect the new parent and another thread modifying the same subdirectory. For a lot of filesystems that's not a problem, but for some it can lead to trouble (e.g. the case when short directory contents is kept in the inode, but creating a file in it might push it across the size limit and copy its contents into separate data block(s)).
However, we need that only in case when the parent does change - otherwise ->rename() doesn't need to do anything with .. entry in the first place. Some instances are lazy and do a tautological update anyway, but it's really not hard to avoid.
Amended locking rules for rename(): find the parent(s) of source and target if source and target have the same parent lock the common parent else lock ->s_vfs_rename_mutex lock both parents, in ancestor-first order; if neither is an ancestor of another, lock the parent of source first. find the source and target. if source and target have the same parent if operation is an overwriting rename of a subdirectory lock the target subdirectory else if source is a subdirectory lock the source if target is a subdirectory lock the target lock non-directories involved, in inode pointer order if both source and target are such.
That way we are guaranteed that parents are locked (for obvious reasons), that any renamed non-directory is locked (nfsd relies upon that), that any victim is locked (emptiness check needs that, among other things) and subdirectory that changes parent is locked (needed to protect the update of .. entries). We are also guaranteed that any operation locking more than one directory either takes ->s_vfs_rename_mutex or locks a parent followed by its child.

audit,io_uring: io_uring openat triggers audit reference count underflow
An io_uring openat operation can update an audit reference count from multiple threads resulting in the call trace below.
A call to io_uring_submit() with a single openat op with a flag of IOSQE_ASYNC results in the following reference count updates.
These first part of the system call performs two increments that do not race.
do_syscall_64() __do_sys_io_uring_enter() io_submit_sqes() io_openat_prep() __io_openat_prep() getname() getname_flags() /* update 1 (increment) */ __audit_getname() /* update 2 (increment) */
The openat op is queued to an io_uring worker thread which starts the opportunity for a race. The system call exit performs one decrement.
do_syscall_64() syscall_exit_to_user_mode() syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare() __audit_syscall_exit() audit_reset_context() putname() /* update 3 (decrement) */
The io_uring worker thread performs one increment and two decrements. These updates can race with the system call decrement.
io_wqe_worker() io_worker_handle_work() io_wq_submit_work() io_issue_sqe() io_openat() io_openat2() do_filp_open() path_openat() __audit_inode() /* update 4 (increment) */ putname() /* update 5 (decrement) */ __audit_uring_exit() audit_reset_context() putname() /* update 6 (decrement) */
The fix is to change the refcnt member of struct audit_names from int to atomic_t.

Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual filesystems.
Features:
- Block mode changes on symlinks and rectify our broken semantics
- Report file modifications via fsnotify() for splice
- Allow specifying an explicit timeout for the "rootwait" kernel command line option. This allows to timeout and reboot instead of always waiting indefinitely for the root device to show up
- Use synchronous fput for the close system call
Cleanups:
- Get rid of open-coded lockdep workarounds for async io submitters and replace it all with a single consolidated helper
- Simplify epoll allocation helper
- Convert simple_write_begin and simple_write_end to use a folio
- Convert page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm() to use a folio
- Simplify __range_close to avoid pointless locking
- Disable per-cpu buffer head cache for isolated cpus
- Port ecryptfs to kmap_local_page() api
- Remove redundant initialization of pointer buf in pipe code
- Unexport the d_genocide() function which is only used within core vfs
- Replace printk(KERN_ERR) and WARN_ON() with WARN()
Fixes:
- Fix various kernel-doc issues
- Fix refcount underflow for eventfds when used as EFD_SEMAPHORE
- Fix a mainly theoretical issue in devpts
- Check the return value of __getblk() in reiserfs
- Fix a racy assert in i_readcount_dec
- Fix integer conversion issues in various functions
- Fix LSM security context handling during automounts that prevented NFS superblock sharing"

fs: no need to check source
The @source inode must be valid. It is even checked via IS_SWAPFILE() above making it pretty clear. So no need to check it when we unlock.
What doesn't need to exist is the @target inode. The lock_two_inodes() helper currently swaps the @inode1 and @inode2 arguments if @inode1 is NULL to have consistent lock class usage. However, we know that at least for vfs_rename() that @inode1 is @source and thus is never NULL as per above. We also know that @source is a different inode than @target as that is checked right at the beginning of vfs_rename(). So we know that @source is valid and locked and that @target is locked. So drop the check whether @source is non-NULL.

Merge tag 'v6.5/vfs.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs file handling updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains Amir's work to fix a long-standing problem where an unprivileged overlayfs mount can be used to avoid fanotify permission events that were requested for an inode or superblock on the underlying filesystem.
Some background about files opened in overlayfs. If a file is opened in overlayfs @file->f_path will refer to a "fake" path. What this means is that while @file->f_inode will refer to inode of the underlying layer, @file->f_path refers to an overlayfs {dentry,vfsmount} pair. The reasons for doing this are out of scope here but it is the reason why the vfs has been providing the open_with_fake_path() helper for overlayfs for very long time now. So nothing new here.
This is for sure not very elegant and everyone including the overlayfs maintainers agree. Improving this significantly would involve more fragile and potentially rather invasive changes.
In various codepaths access to the path of the underlying filesystem is needed for such hybrid file. The best example is fsnotify where this becomes security relevant. Passing the overlayfs @file->f_path->dentry will cause fsnotify to skip generating fsnotify events registered on the underlying inode or superblock.
To fix this we extend the vfs provided open_with_fake_path() concept for overlayfs to create a backing file container that holds the real path and to expose a helper that can be used by relevant callers to get access to the path of the underlying filesystem through the new file_real_path() helper. This pattern is similar to what we do in d_real() and d_real_inode().
The first beneficiary is fsnotify and fixes the security sensitive problem mentioned above.
There's a couple of nice cleanups included as well.
Over time, the old open_with_fake_path() helper added specifically for overlayfs a long time ago started to get used in other places such as cachefiles. Even though cachefiles have nothing to do with hybrid files.
The only reason cachefiles used that concept was that files opened with open_with_fake_path() aren't charged against the caller's open file limit by raising FMODE_NOACCOUNT. It's just mere coincidence that both overlayfs and cachefiles need to ensure to not overcharge the caller for their internal open calls.
So this work disentangles FMODE_NOACCOUNT use cases and backing file use-cases by adding the FMODE_BACKING flag which indicates that the file can be used to retrieve the backing file of another filesystem. (Fyi, Jens will be sending you a really nice cleanup from Christoph that gets rid of 3 FMODE_* flags otherwise this would be the last fmode_t bit we'd be using.)
So now overlayfs becomes the sole user of the renamed open_with_fake_path() helper which is now named backing_file_open(). For internal kernel users such as cachefiles that are only interested in FMODE_NOACCOUNT but not in FMODE_BACKING we add a new kernel_file_open() helper which opens a file without being charged against the caller's open file limit. All new helpers are properly documented and clearly annotated to mention their special uses.
We also rename vfs_tmpfile_open() to kernel_tmpfile_open() to clearly distinguish it from vfs_tmpfile() and align it the other kernel_*() internal helpers"

Pull vfs rename locking updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the work from Jan to fix problems with cross-directory renames originally reported in [1].
To quickly sum it up some filesystems (so far we know at least about ext4, udf, f2fs, ocfs2, likely also reiserfs, gfs2 and others) need to lock the directory when it is being renamed into another directory.
This is because we need to update the parent pointer in the directory in that case and if that races with other operations on the directory, in particular a conversion from one directory format into another, bad things can happen.
So far we've done the locking in the filesystem code but recently Darrick pointed out in [2] that the RENAME_EXCHANGE case was missing. That one is particularly nasty because RENAME_EXCHANGE can arbitrarily mix regular files and directories and proper lock ordering is not achievable in the filesystems alone.
This patch set adds locking into vfs_rename() so that not only parent directories but also moved inodes, regardless of whether they are directories or not, are locked when calling into the filesystem.
This means establishing a locking order for unrelated directories. New helpers are added for this purpose and our documentation is updated to cover this in detail.
The locking is now actually easier to follow as we now always lock source and target. We've always locked the target independent of whether it was a directory or file and we've always locked source if it was a regular file. The exact details for why this came about can be found in [3] and [4]"
