According to commit 80af258867648 ('fanotify: groups can specify
their f_flags for new fd'), file descriptors created as part of
file access notification events inherit flags from the
event_f_flags argument passed to syscall fanotify_init(2).
So while it is legal for userspace to call fanotify_init() with
O_CLOEXEC as part of its second argument, O_CLOEXEC is currently
silently ignored.
Indeed event_f_flags are only given to dentry_open(), which only
seems to care about O_ACCMODE and O_PATH in do_dentry_open(),
O_DIRECT in open_check_o_direct() and O_LARGEFILE in
generic_file_open().
I tested on kernel 3.17.0-rc5. I passed O_CLOEXEC in event_f_flags.
When I called fcnt(event_metadata->fd, F_GETFD) it did not return
FD_CLOEXEC. So I can confirm your observation that O_CLOEXEC is not
working as expected.
I found this definition
#define get_unused_fd() get_unused_fd_flags(0)
So essentially when get_unused_fd() is called for a fanotify event
O_CLOEXEC is ignored.
This is what your patch fixes.
More, there's no effective check on event_f_flags value that
would catch unknown / unsupported values, unlike the one on
f_flags argument of the syscall (see FAN_ALL_INIT_FLAGS in
include/uapi/linux/fanotify.h).
The fanotify_init(2) man page describes which flags are allowable in
event_f_flags.
Could you, please, explain why the following code in fanotify_user.c is
not to be considered an effective check:
if (event_f_flags & ~FANOTIFY_INIT_ALL_EVENT_F_BITS)
return -EINVAL;
switch (event_f_flags & O_ACCMODE) {
case O_RDONLY:
case O_RDWR:
case O_WRONLY:
break;
default:
return -EINVAL;
}
I CC Jan Kara as he reviewed the code.
