fs: don't allow non-init s_user_ns for filesystems without FS_USERNS_MOUNT

fs: don't allow non-init s_user_ns for filesystems without FS_USERNS_MOUNT

[ Upstream commit e1c5ae59c0f22f7fe5c07fb5513a29e4aad868c9 ]

Christian noticed that it is possible for a privileged user to mount
most filesystems with a non-initial user namespace in sb->s_user_ns.
When fsopen() is called in a non-init namespace the caller's namespace
is recorded in fs_context->user_ns. If the returned file descriptor is
then passed to a process priviliged in init_user_ns, that process can
call fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE), creating a new superblock
with sb->s_user_ns set to the namespace of the process which called
fsopen().

This is problematic. We cannot assume that any filesystem which does not
set FS_USERNS_MOUNT has been written with a non-initial s_user_ns in
mind, increasing the risk for bugs and security issues.

Prevent this by returning EPERM from sget_fc() when FS_USERNS_MOUNT is
not set for the filesystem and a non-initial user namespace will be
used. sget() does not need to be updated as it always uses the user
namespace of the current context, or the initial user namespace if
SB_SUBMOUNT is set.

"This contains two more small follow-up fixes for the super work this
cycle. I went through all filesystems once more and detected two minor
issues that still needed fixing:

- Some filesystems support mtd devices (e.g., mount -t jffs2 mtd2
/mnt). The mtd infrastructure uses the sb->s_mtd pointer to find an
existing superblock. When the mtd device is put and sb->s_mtd
cleared the superblock can still be found fs_supers and so this
risks a use-after-free.

Add a small patch that aligns mtd with what we did for regular
block devices and switch keying to rely on sb->s_dev.

(This was tested with mtd devices and jffs2 as xfstests doesn't
support mtd devices.)

- Switch nfs back to rely on kill_anon_super() so the superblock is
removed from the list of active supers before sb->s_fs_info is
freed"

super: ensure valid info

For keyed filesystems that recycle superblocks based on s_fs_info or
information contained therein s_fs_info must be kept as long as the
superblock is on the filesystem type super list. This isn't guaranteed
as s_fs_info will be freed latest in sb->kill_sb().

The fix is simply to perform notification and list removal in
kill_anon_super(). Any filesystem needs to free s_fs_info after they
call the kill_*() helpers. If they don't they risk use-after-free right
now so fixing it here is guaranteed that s_fs_info remain valid.

For block backed filesystems notifying in pass sb->kill_sb() in
deactivate_locked_super() remains unproblematic and is required because
multiple other block devices can be shut down after kill_block_super()
has been called from a filesystem's sb->kill_sb() handler. For example,
ext4 and xfs close additional devices. Block based filesystems don't
depend on s_fs_info (btrfs does use s_fs_info but also uses
kill_anon_super() and not kill_block_super().).

Sorry for that braino. Goal should be to unify this behavior during this
cycle obviously. But let's please do a simple bugfix now.

Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.super' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull superblock updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the super rework that was ready for this cycle. The
first part changes the order of how we open block devices and allocate
superblocks, contains various cleanups, simplifications, and a new
mechanism to wait on superblock state changes.

This unblocks work to ultimately limit the number of writers to a
block device. Jan has already scheduled follow-up work that will be
ready for v6.7 and allows us to restrict the number of writers to a
given block device. That series builds on this work right here.

The second part contains filesystem freezing updates.

Overview:

The generic superblock changes are rougly organized as follows
(ignoring additional minor cleanups):

(1) Removal of the bd_super member from struct block_device.

This was a very odd back pointer to struct super_block with
unclear rules. For all relevant places we have other means to get
the same information so just get rid of this.

(2) Simplify rules for superblock cleanup.

Roughly, everything that is allocated during fs_context
initialization and that's stored in fs_context->s_fs_info needs
to be cleaned up by the fs_context->free() implementation before
the superblock allocation function has been called successfully.

After sget_fc() returned fs_context->s_fs_info has been
transferred to sb->s_fs_info at which point sb->kill_sb() if
fully responsible for cleanup. Adhering to these rules means that
cleanup of sb->s_fs_info in fill_super() is to be avoided as it's
brittle and inconsistent.

Cleanup shouldn't be duplicated between sb->put_super() as
sb->put_super() is only called if sb->s_root has been set aka
when the filesystem has been successfully born (SB_BORN). That
complexity should be avoided.

This also means that block devices are to be closed in
sb->kill_sb() instead of sb->put_super(). More details in the
lower section.

(3) Make it possible to lookup or create a superblock before opening
block devices

There's a subtle dependency on (2) as some filesystems did rely
on fill_super() to be called in order to correctly clean up
sb->s_fs_info. All these filesystems have been fixed.

(4) Switch most filesystem to follow the same logic as the generic
mount code now does as outlined in (3).

(5) Use the superblock as the holder of the block device. We can now
easily go back from block device to owning superblock.

(6) Export and extend the generic fs_holder_ops and use them as
holder ops everywhere and remove the filesystem specific holder
ops.

(7) Call from the block layer up into the filesystem layer when the
block device is removed, allowing to shut down the filesystem
without risk of deadlocks.

(8) Get rid of get_super().

We can now easily go back from the block device to owning
superblock and can call up from the block layer into the
filesystem layer when the device is removed. So no need to wade
through all registered superblock to find the owning superblock
anymore"

Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.fs_context' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull mount API updates from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL which allows userspace to
implement something like

$ mount -t ext4 --exclusive /dev/sda /B

which fails if a superblock for the requested filesystem does already
exist instead of silently reusing an existing superblock.

Without it, in the sequence

$ move-mount -f xfs -o source=/dev/sda4 /A
$ move-mount -f xfs -o noacl,source=/dev/sda4 /B

the initial mounter will create a superblock. The second mounter will
reuse the existing superblock, creating a bind-mount (see [1] for the
source of the move-mount binary).

The problem is that reusing an existing superblock means all mount
options other than read-only and read-write will be silently ignored
even if they are incompatible requests. For example, the second mount
has requested no POSIX ACL support but since the existing superblock
is reused POSIX ACL support will remain enabled.

Such silent superblock reuse can easily become a security issue.

After adding support for FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL to mount(8) in
util-linux this can be fixed:

$ move-mount -f xfs --exclusive -o source=/dev/sda4 /A
$ move-mount -f xfs --exclusive -o noacl,source=/dev/sda4 /B
Device or resource busy | move-mount.c: 300: do_fsconfig: i xfs: reusing existing filesystem not allowed

This requires the new mount api. With the old mount api it would be
necessary to plumb this through every legacy filesystem's
file_system_type->mount() method. If they want this feature they are
most welcome to switch to the new mount api"

super: wait until we passed kill super

Recent rework moved block device closing out of sb->put_super() and into
sb->kill_sb() to avoid deadlocks as s_umount is held in put_super() and
blkdev_put() can end up taking s_umount again.

That means we need to move the removal of the superblock from @fs_supers
out of generic_shutdown_super() and into deactivate_locked_super() to
ensure that concurrent mounters don't fail to open block devices that
are still in use because blkdev_put() in sb->kill_sb() hasn't been
called yet.

We can now do this as we can make iterators through @fs_super and
@super_blocks wait without holding s_umount. Concurrent mounts will wait
until a dying superblock is fully dead so until sb->kill_sb() has been
called and SB_DEAD been set. Concurrent iterators can already discard
any SB_DYING superblock.

intricate side-effects that we get to learn about while developing this.

Superblock allocators such as sget{_fc}() return with s_umount of the
new superblock held and lock ordering currently requires that block
level locks such as bdev_lock and open_mutex rank above s_umount.

Before aca740cecbe5 ("fs: open block device after superblock creation")
ordering was guaranteed to be correct as block devices were opened prior
to superblock allocation and thus s_umount wasn't held. But now s_umount
must be dropped before opening block devices to avoid locking
violations.

This has consequences. The main one being that iterators over
@super_blocks and @fs_supers that grab a temporary reference to the
superblock can now also grab s_umount before the caller has managed to
open block devices and called fill_super(). So whereas before such
iterators or concurrent mounts would have simply slept on s_umount until
SB_BORN was set or the superblock was discard due to initalization
failure they can now needlessly spin through sget{_fc}().

If the caller is sleeping on bdev_lock or open_mutex one caller waiting
on SB_BORN will always spin somewhere and potentially this can go on for
quite a while.

It should be possible to drop s_umount while allowing iterators to wait
on a nascent superblock to either be born or discarded. This patch
implements a wait_var_event() mechanism allowing iterators to sleep
until they are woken when the superblock is born or discarded.

This also allows us to avoid relooping through @fs_supers and
@super_blocks if a superblock isn't yet born or dying.

BLKFLSBUF is a historic ioctl that is called on a file handle to a

device if there is one, or otherwise the just the data on the block
device.

Replace the get_super based syncing with a holder operation to remove
the last usage of get_super, and to also support syncing the file system
if the block device is not the main block device stored in s_dev.

(for a surprise removal) or after writing back data (for an orderly
