[CFT][PATCH 11/10] mnt: Avoid unnecessary regressions in fs_fully_visible (take 2)

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

 



Not allowing programs to clear nosuid and noexec on new mounts of
sysfs or proc will cause lxc and libvirt-lxc to fail to start (a
regression).  There are no executables files on sysfs or proc today
which means clearing these flags is harmless today.

Instead of failing the fresh mounts of sysfs and proc emit a warning
when these flags are improprely cleared.  We only reach this point
because lxc and libvirt-lxc clear flags they mount flags had not
intended to.

In a couple of kernel releases when lxc and libvirt-lxc have been
fixed we can start failing fresh mounts proc and sysfs that clear
nosuid and noexec.  Userspace clearly means to enforce those
attributes and enforcing these attributes have historically avoided
bugs in the setattr implementations of proc and sysfs.

Now with warning on problematic remounts as well.
nodev is also ignored because it is not currently problematic.
