From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxx>
The upcoming RWF_ENCODED operation introduces some security concerns:
1. Compressed writes will pass arbitrary data to decompression
algorithms in the kernel.
2. Compressed reads can leak truncated/hole punched data.
Therefore, we need to require privilege for RWF_ENCODED. It's not
possible to do the permissions checks at the time of the read or write
because, e.g., io_uring submits IO from a worker thread. So, add an open
flag which requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN. It can also be set and cleared with
fcntl(). The flag is not cleared in any way on fork or exec. It must be
combined with O_CLOEXEC when opening to avoid accidental leaks (if
needed, it may be set without O_CLOEXEC by using fnctl()).
Note that the usual issue that unknown open flags are ignored doesn't
really matter for O_ALLOW_ENCODED; if the kernel doesn't support
O_ALLOW_ENCODED, then it doesn't support RWF_ENCODED, either.
