IMA is trying to use the i_version from the overlayfs inode. I suspect that the real problem here is that IMA is just doing a bare inode_query_iversion. Really, we ought to make IMA call vfs_getattr_nosec (or something like it) to query the getattr routine in the upper layer. Then overlayfs could just propagate the results from the upper layer in its response. That sort of design may also eventually help IMA work properly with more exotic filesystems, like NFS or Ceph. > The new proposed i_version increase occurs on the inode that IMA sees later on for > the file that's being executed and on which it must do a re-evaluation. > > Upon file changes ima_inode_free() seems to see two ima_file_free() calls, > one for what seems to be the upper layer (used for vfs_* functions below) > and once for the lower one. > The important thing is that IMA will see the lower one when the file gets > executed later on and this is the one that I instrumented now to have its > i_version increased, which in turn triggers the re-evaluation of the file post > modification. > > static ssize_t ovl_write_iter(struct kiocb *iocb, struct iov_iter *iter) > [...] > struct fd real; > [...] > ret = ovl_real_fdget(file, &real); > if (ret) > goto out_unlock; > > [...] > if (is_sync_kiocb(iocb)) { > file_start_write(real.file); > --> ret = vfs_iter_write(real.file, iter, &iocb->ki_pos, > ovl_iocb_to_rwf(ifl)); > file_end_write(real.file); > /* Update size */ > ovl_copyattr(inode); > } else { > struct ovl_aio_req *aio_req; > > ret = -ENOMEM; > aio_req = kmem_cache_zalloc(ovl_aio_request_cachep, GFP_KERNEL); > if (!aio_req) > goto out; > > file_start_write(real.file); > /* Pacify lockdep, same trick as done in aio_write() */ > __sb_writers_release(file_inode(real.file)->i_sb, > SB_FREEZE_WRITE); > aio_req->fd = real; > real.flags = 0; > aio_req->orig_iocb = iocb; > kiocb_clone(&aio_req->iocb, iocb, real.file); > aio_req->iocb.ki_flags = ifl; > aio_req->iocb.ki_complete = ovl_aio_rw_complete; > refcount_set(&aio_req->ref, 2); > --> ret = vfs_iocb_iter_write(real.file, &aio_req->iocb, iter); > ovl_aio_put(aio_req); > if (ret != -EIOCBQUEUED) > ovl_aio_cleanup_handler(aio_req); > } > if (ret > 0) <--- this get it to work > inode_maybe_inc_iversion(inode, false); <--- since this inode is known to IMA > out: > revert_creds(old_cred); > out_fdput: > fdput(real); > > out_unlock: > inode_unlock(inode); > > > > > Stefan > > > > > In any case, I think this could use a bit more root-cause analysis. > -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>
