[PATCH v12] vfs: fix copy_file_range regression in cross-fs copies

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

 



A regression has been reported by Nicolas Boichat, found while using the
copy_file_range syscall to copy a tracefs file.  Before commit
5dae222a5ff0 ("vfs: allow copy_file_range to copy across devices") the
kernel would return -EXDEV to userspace when trying to copy a file across
different filesystems.  After this commit, the syscall doesn't fail anymore
and instead returns zero (zero bytes copied), as this file's content is
generated on-the-fly and thus reports a size of zero.

This patch restores some cross-filesystem copy restrictions that existed
prior to commit 5dae222a5ff0 ("vfs: allow copy_file_range to copy across
devices").  Filesystems are still allowed to fall-back to the VFS
generic_copy_file_range() implementation, but that has now to be done
explicitly.

The short-circuit code for the case where the copy length is zero has also
been dropped from the VFS code.  This is because a zero size copy between
two files shall provide a clear indication on whether or not the
filesystem supports non-zero copies.

nfsd is also modified to fall-back into generic_copy_file_range() in case
vfs_copy_file_range() fails with -EOPNOTSUPP or -EXDEV.

Changes since v11
- added note about zero-size copies and a link to the corresponding
  mailing-list discussion
Changes since v10
- simply remove the "if (len == 0)" short-circuit instead of checking if
  the filesystem implements the syscall.  This is because a filesystem may
  implement it but a particular instance (hint: overlayfs!) may not.
Changes since v9
- the early return from the syscall when len is zero now checks if the
  filesystem is implemented, returning -EOPNOTSUPP if it is not and 0
  otherwise.  Issue reported by test robot.
  (obviously, dropped Amir's Reviewed-by and Olga's Tested-by tags)
Changes since v8
- Simply added Amir's Reviewed-by and Olga's Tested-by
Changes since v7
- set 'ret' to '-EOPNOTSUPP' before the clone 'if' statement so that the
  error returned is always related to the 'copy' operation
Changes since v6
- restored i_sb checks for the clone operation
Changes since v5
- check if ->copy_file_range is NULL before calling it
Changes since v4
- nfsd falls-back to generic_copy_file_range() only *if* it gets -EOPNOTSUPP
  or -EXDEV.
Changes since v3
- dropped the COPY_FILE_SPLICE flag
- kept the f_op's checks early in generic_copy_file_checks, implementing
  Amir's suggestions
- modified nfsd to use generic_copy_file_range()
Changes since v2
- do all the required checks earlier, in generic_copy_file_checks(),
  adding new checks for ->remap_file_range
- new COPY_FILE_SPLICE flag
- don't remove filesystem's fallback to generic_copy_file_range()
- updated commit changelog (and subject)
Changes since v1 (after Amir review)
- restored do_copy_file_range() helper
- return -EOPNOTSUPP if fs doesn't implement CFR
- updated commit description
