[PATCH 0/3] io path options + reflink (mild security implications)

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

 



so, I've been fleshing out various things at the intersection of io path
options + rebalance + reflink, and this is the last little bit

background: bcachefs has io path options that can be set filesystem
wide, or per inode, and when changed rebalance automatically picks them
up and does the right thing

reflink adds a wrinkle, which is that we'd like e.g. recursively setting
the foreground/background targets on some files to move them to the
appropriate device (or nr_replicas etc.), like other data - but if a
user did a reflink copy of some other user's data and then set
nr_replicas=1, that would be bad.

so this series adds a flag to reflink pointers for "may propagate option
changes", which can then be set at remap_file_range() time based on
vfs level permission checks.

so, question for everyone: is write access to the source file what we
want? or should it be stricter, i.e. ownership matches?

then, we're currently missing mnt_idmap plumbing to remap_file_range()
to do said permissions checks - do we want to do that? or is there an
easier way?
