From: "Christian Brauner (Microsoft)" <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> Hey everyone, /* v4 */ Various minor changes. Details in the notes to the commits. As we discussed and seen multiple times the current state of how posix acls are handled isn't nice and comes with a lot of problems. For a long and detailed explanation for just some of the issues [1] provides a good summary. The current way of handling posix acls via the generic xattr api is error prone, hard to maintain, and type unsafe for the vfs until we call into the filesystem's dedicated get and set inode operations. It is already the case that posix acls are special-cased to death all the way through the vfs. There are an uncounted number of hacks that operate on the uapi posix acl struct instead of the dedicated vfs struct posix_acl. And the vfs must be involved in order to interpret and fixup posix acls before storing them to the backing store, caching them, reporting them to userspace, or for permission checking. Currently a range of hacks and duct tape exist to make this work. As with most things this is really no ones fault it's just something that happened over time. But the code is hard to understand and difficult to maintain and one is constantly at risk of introducing bugs and regressions when having to touch it. Instead of continuing to hack posix acls through the xattr handlers this series builds a dedicated posix acl api solely around the get and set inode operations. Going forward, the vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(), and vfs_set_acl() helpers must be used in order to interact with posix acls. They operate directly on the vfs internal struct posix_acl instead of abusing the uapi posix acl struct as we currently do. In the end this removes all of the hackiness, makes the codepaths easier to maintain, and gets us type safety. This series passes the LTP and xfstests suites without any regressions. For xfstests the following combinations were tested: * xfs * ext4 * btrfs * overlayfs * overlayfs on top of idmapped mounts For people wanting to run their own xfstests I'd recommend to shorten their test runs via: ./check -g acl,attr,cap,idmapped,io_uring,perms,subvol,unlink I would appreciate if the 9p and cifs folks could run any posix acl related tests as I have no setup to really do this without causing me a lot of pain. Very likely there's a lot more simplifications for posix acls that we can make in the future if the basic api has made it. A few implementation details: * The series makes sure to retain exactly the same security and integrity module permission checks. See [2] for annotated callchains. Especially for the integrity modules this api is a win because right now they convert the uapi posix acl struct passed to them via a void pointer into the vfs struct posix_acl format to perform permission checking on the mode. There's a new dedicated security hook for setting posix acls which passes the vfs struct posix_acl not a void pointer. Basing checking on the posix acl stored in the uapi format is really unreliable. The vfs currently hacks around directly in the uapi struct storing values that frankly the security and integrity modules can't correctly interpret as evidenced by bugs we reported and fixed in this area. It's not necessarily even their fault it's just that the format we provide to them is sub optimal. * Some filesystems like 9p and cifs need access to the dentry in order to get and set posix acls which is why they either only partially or not even at all implement get and set inode operations. For example, cifs allows setxattr() and getxattr() operations but doesn't allow permission checking based on posix acls because it can't implement a get acl inode operation. Thus, this patch series updates the set acl inode operation to take a dentry instead of an inode argument. However, for the get acl inode operation we can't do this as the old get acl method is called in e.g., generic_permission() and inode_permission(). These helpers in turn are called in various filesystem's permission inode operation. So passing a dentry argument to the old get acl inode operation would amount to passing a dentry to the permission inode operation which we shouldn't and probably can't do. So instead of extending the existing inode operation Christoph suggested to add a new one. He also requested to ensure that the get and set acl inode operation taking a dentry are consistently named. So for this version the old get acl operation is renamed to ->get_inode_acl() and a new ->get_acl() inode operation taking a dentry is added. With this we can give both 9p and cifs get and set acl inode operations and in turn remove their complex custom posix xattr handlers. * I've done a full audit of every codepaths using variant of the current generic xattr api to get and set posix acls and surprisingly it isn't that many places. There's of course always a chance that I might have missed some and I'm sure we'll find them soon enough. The crucial codepaths to be converted are obviously stacking filesystems such as ecryptfs and overlayfs. For a list of all callers currently using generic xattr api helpers see [2] including comments whether they support posix acls or not. * The old vfs generic posix acl infrastructure doesn't obey the create and replace semantics promised on the setxattr(2) manpage. This patch series doesn't address this. It really is something we should revisit later though. The patch series is roughly organized as follows: // intended to be a non-functional change 1. Change existing set acl inode operation to take a dentry argument. // intended to be a non-functional change 2. Rename existing get acl method. // intended to be a non-functional change 3. Implement get and set acl inode operations for filesystems that couldn't implement one before because of the missing dentry. That's mostly 9p and cifs. // intended to be a non-functional change 4. Build posix acl api, i.e., add vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(), and vfs_set_acl() including security and integrity hooks. // intended to be a non-functional change 5. Implement get and set acl inode operations for stacking filesystems. // semantical change 6. Switch posix acl handling in stacking filesystems to new posix acl api now that all filesystems it can stack upon support it. // semantical change 7. Switch vfs to new posix acl api 8. Remove all now unused helpers The series can be pulled from: https://gitlab.com/brauner/linux/-/commits/fs.acl.rework https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping.git/log/?h=fs.acl.rework The series contains a few preliminary patches which are scheduled for the next merge window. It was just easier to base the series on top of them. But if you pull this branch you'll get them included. I've been working on this for a while and before going any further it'd be nice to get some reviews. I think that it should be fine to have get and set acl inode operations that operate on the dentry at least nothing stuck out immediately that would prevent this. But obviously having other people point out issues with that would be helpful. Thanks to Seth for a lot of good discussion around this and encouragement and input from Christoph.
