[PATCH RFC] security/KEYS: get rid of cred_alloc_blank and cred_transfer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



cred_alloc_blank and cred_transfer were only necessary so that keyctl can
allocate creds in the child and then asynchronously have the parent fill
them in and apply them.

Get rid of them by letting the child synchronously wait for the task work
executing in the parent's context. This way, any errors that happen in the
task work can be plumbed back into the syscall return value in the child.

Note that this requires using TWA_SIGNAL instead of TWA_RESUME, so the
parent might observe some spurious -EGAIN syscall returns or such; but the
parent likely anyway has to be ready to deal with the side effects of
receiving signals (since it'll probably get SIGCHLD when the child dies),
so that probably isn't an issue.

This is a quickly hacked up demo of the approach I proposed at
<https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAG48ez2bnvuX8i-D=5DxmfzEOKTWAf-DkgQq6aNC4WzSGoEGHg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/>
to get rid of the cred_transfer stuff. Diffstat looks like this:

What do you think? Synchronously waiting for task work is a bit ugly,
but at least this condenses the uglyness in the keys subsystem instead
of making the rest of the security subsystem deal with this stuff.

Another approach to simplify things further would be to try to move
the session keyring out of the creds entirely and just let the child
update it directly with appropriate locking, but I don't know enough
about the keys subsystem to know if that would maybe break stuff
that relies on override_creds() also overriding the keyrings, or
something like that.
