[PATCH v5] 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.

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

And v5!  Sorry.  Sure, it makes sense to go through the all the vfs_cfr()
checks first.

Again, here's my request for testing.

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
