[PATCH] configfs: Prevent userspace from creating new entries under attaching directories
process 1: process 2:
configfs_mkdir("A")
attach_group("A")
attach_item("A")
d_instantiate("A")
populate_groups("A")
mutex_lock("A")
attach_group("A/B")
attach_item("A")
d_instantiate("A/B")
mkdir("A/B/C")
do_path_lookup("A/B/C", LOOKUP_PARENT)
ok
lookup_create("A/B/C")
mutex_lock("A/B")
ok
configfs_mkdir("A/B/C")
ok
attach_group("A/C")
attach_item("A/C")
d_instantiate("A/C")
populate_groups("A/C")
mutex_lock("A/C")
attach_group("A/C/D")
attach_item("A/C/D")
failure
mutex_unlock("A/C")
detach_groups("A/C")
nothing to do
mkdir("A/C/E")
do_path_lookup("A/C/E", LOOKUP_PARENT)
ok
lookup_create("A/C/E")
mutex_lock("A/C")
ok
configfs_mkdir("A/C/E")
ok
detach_item("A/C")
d_delete("A/C")
mutex_unlock("A")
detach_groups("A")
mutex_lock("A/B")
detach_group("A/B")
detach_groups("A/B")
nothing since no _default_ group
detach_item("A/B")
mutex_unlock("A/B")
d_delete("A/B")
detach_item("A")
d_delete("A")
Two bugs:
1/ "A/B/C" and "A/C/E" are created, but never removed while their parent are
removed in the end. The same could happen with symlink() instead of mkdir().
2/ "A" and "A/C" inodes are not locked while detach_item() is called on them,
which may probably confuse VFS.
This commit fixes 1/, tagging new directories with CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING before
building the inode and instantiating the dentry, and validating the whole
group+default groups hierarchy in a second pass by clearing
CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING.
mkdir(), symlink(), lookup(), and dir_open() simply return -ENOENT if
called in (or linking to) a directory tagged with CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING. This
does not prevent userspace from calling stat() successfuly on such directories,
but this prevents userspace from adding (children to | symlinking from/to |
read/write attributes of | listing the contents of) not validated items. In
other words, userspace will not interact with the subsystem on a new item until
the new item creation completes correctly.
It was first proposed to re-use CONFIGFS_USET_IN_MKDIR instead of a new
flag CONFIGFS_USET_CREATING, but this generated conflicts when checking the
target of a new symlink: a valid target directory in the middle of attaching
a new user-created child item could be wrongly detected as being attached.
2/ is fixed by next commit.
