Subject: tracefs: Still use mount point as default permissions for instances
From: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6599bd5517be66c8344f869f3ca3a91bc10f2b9e upstream.
If the instances directory's permissions were never change, then have it
and its children use the mount point permissions as the default.
Currently, the permissions of instance directories are determined by the
instance directory's permissions itself. But if the tracefs file system is
remounted and changes the permissions, the instance directory and its
children should use the new permission.
But because both the instance directory and its children use the instance
directory's inode for permissions, it misses the update.
To demonstrate this:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# mkdir instances/foo
# ls -ld instances/foo
drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:07 instances/foo
# ls -ld instances
drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 18:57 instances
# ls -ld current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 18:57 current_tracer
# mount -o remount,gid=1002 .
# ls -ld instances
drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 18:57 instances
# ls -ld instances/foo/
drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:07 instances/foo/
# ls -ld current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:57 current_tracer
Notice that changing the group id to that of "lkp" did not affect the
instances directory nor its children. It should have been:
# ls -ld current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 19:19 current_tracer
# ls -ld instances/foo/
drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:25 instances/foo/
# ls -ld instances
drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 19:19 instances
# mount -o remount,gid=1002 .
# ls -ld current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 19:19 current_tracer
# ls -ld instances
drwxr-x--- 3 root lkp 0 May 1 19:19 instances
# ls -ld instances/foo/
drwxr-x--- 5 root lkp 0 May 1 19:25 instances/foo/
Where all files were updated by the remount gid update.
