[PATCH v4 3/7] libfs: Validate negative dentries in case-insensitive directories

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce a dentry revalidation helper to be used by case-insensitive
filesystems to check if it is safe to reuse a negative dentry.

A negative dentry is safe to be reused on a case-insensitive lookup if
it was created during a case-insensitive lookup and this is not a lookup
that will instantiate a dentry. If this is a creation lookup, we also
need to make sure the name matches sensitively the name under lookup in
order to assure the name preserving semantics.

dentry->d_name is only checked by the case-insensitive d_revalidate hook
in the LOOKUP_CREATE/LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET case since, for these cases,
d_revalidate is always called with the parent inode read-locked, and
therefore the name cannot change from under us.

d_revalidate is only called in 4 places: lookup_dcache, __lookup_slow,
lookup_open and lookup_fast:

  - lookup_dcache always calls it with zeroed flags, with the exception
    of when coming from __lookup_hash, which needs the parent locked
    already, for instance in the open/creation path, which is locked in
    open_last_lookups.

  - In __lookup_slow, either the parent inode is read locked by the
    caller (lookup_slow), or it is called with no flags (lookup_one*).
    The read lock suffices to prevent ->d_name modifications, with the
    exception of one case: __d_unalias, will call __d_move to fix a
    directory accessible from multiple dentries, which effectively swaps
    ->d_name while holding only the shared read lock.  This happens
    through this flow:

    lookup_slow()  //LOOKUP_CREATE
      d_lookup()
        ->d_lookup()
          d_splice_alias()
            __d_unalias()
              __d_move()

    Nevertheless, this case is not a problem because negative dentries
    are not allowed to be moved with __d_move.

  - lookup_open also requires the parent to be locked in the creation
    case, which is done in open_last_lookups.

  - lookup_fast will indeed be called with the parent unlocked, but it
    shouldn't be called with LOOKUP_CREATE.  Either it is called in the
    link_path_walk, where nd->flags doesn't have LOOKUP_CREATE yet or in
    open_last_lookups. But, in this case, it also never has LOOKUP_CREATE,
    because it is only called on the !O_CREAT case, which means op->intent
    doesn't have LOOKUP_CREAT (set in build_open_flags only if O_CREAT is
    set).

Finally, for the LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET, we are doing a rename, so the
parents inodes are also locked.

Changes since v3:
  - Add comment regarding creation (Eric)
  - Reorder checks to clarify !flags meaning (Eric)
  - Add commit message explanaton of the inode read lock wrt.
    __d_move. (Eric)
Changes since v2:
  - Add comments to all rejection cases (Eric)
  - safeguard against filesystem creating dentries without LOOKUP flags
