In some circumstances, like semanage-store being on overlayfs, rename() could fail with EXDEV - Invalid cross-device link. This is due to fact that overlays doesn't support rename() is source and target are not on the same layer, e.g. in rpm-ostree based containers. Even though it's not atomic operation, it's better to try to to copy files from src to dst on our own in this case. Next rebuild will probably not fail as the new directories will be on the same layer. Fixes: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/issues/343 Before: # semodule -B libsemanage.semanage_commit_sandbox: Error while renaming /etc/selinux/targeted/active to /etc/selinux/targeted/previous. (Invalid cross-device link). semodule: Failed! After: # semodule -B Warning: rename(/etc/selinux/targeted/active, /etc/selinux/targeted/previous) failed: Invalid cross-device link, fallback to non-atomic semanage_copy_dir_flags() Reported-by: Joseph Marrero Corchado <jmarrero@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Petr Lautrbach <plautrba@xxxxxxxxxx> --- libsemanage/src/semanage_store.c | 31 ++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/libsemanage/src/semanage_store.c b/libsemanage/src/semanage_store.c index 767f05cb2853..aa44ebb7e481 100644 --- a/libsemanage/src/semanage_store.c +++ b/libsemanage/src/semanage_store.c @@ -697,6 +697,10 @@ int semanage_store_access_check(void) /********************* other I/O functions *********************/ +static int semanage_rename(const char *tmp, const char *dst); +int semanage_remove_directory(const char *path); +static int semanage_copy_dir_flags(const char *src, const char *dst, int flag); + /* Callback used by scandir() to select files. */ static int semanage_filename_select(const struct dirent *d) { @@ -760,7 +764,7 @@ int semanage_copy_file(const char *src, const char *dst, mode_t mode, retval = -1; } - if (!retval && rename(tmp, dst) == -1) + if (!retval && semanage_rename(tmp, dst) == -1) return -1; out: @@ -768,7 +772,20 @@ out: return retval; } -static int semanage_copy_dir_flags(const char *src, const char *dst, int flag); +static int semanage_rename(const char *src, const char *dst) { + int retval = -1; + + retval = rename(src, dst); + if (retval == 0 || errno != EXDEV) + return retval; + + /* we can't use rename() due to filesystem limitation, lets try to copy files manually */ + fprintf(stderr, "Warning: rename(%s, %s) failed: %s, fallback to non-atomic semanage_copy_dir_flags()\n", src, dst, strerror(errno)); + if (semanage_copy_dir_flags(src, dst, 1) == -1) { + return -1; + } + return semanage_remove_directory(src); +} /* Copies all of the files from src to dst, recursing into * subdirectories.
