This is the fourth revision of the patch series introducing the concept
of superblocks owned by user namespaces, containing only trivial changes
from the previous revision.
These are the first in a larger set of patches, with the goal of
eventually allowing some regular filesystem types to be mounted in
unprivileged containers. The full series is available at:
git://kernel.ubuntu.com/sforshee/linux.git userns-mounts
The strategy for this series is to do as much of the heavy lifting as
possible in the vfs to minimize the need to handle edge cases in
individual filesystems. The patches that follow lay some of the
groundwork and fall into two groups:
1. Patches 1-2 add s_user_ns to struct superblock and use it to
simplify MNT_NODEV handling.
2. Patches 3-7 tighten down security for mounts with s_user_ns !=
&init_user_ns.
Note that these patches only address security at the vfs level. As has
been discussed previously, individual filesystems may still be
vulnerable to attacks via malicious metadata in the backing store. The
goal is to find a small set of filesystems which can be hardened from
attacks from below. I am initially targeting fuse, which has been
designed to resist such attacks, and ext4, which is so far standing up
quite well to fuzzing.
Changes since v3:
- Reword commit message for the MNT_NODEV handling changes to better
emphasize that it results in a user visible change in behavior.
- Consolidate smk_initialized into smk_flags as requested by Casey.
