* configfs: restore the kernel v5.13 text attribute write behaviorBart Van Assche2021-08-091-12/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | Instead of appending new text attribute data at the offset specified by the write() system call, only pass the newly written data to the .store() callback.

* configfs: fix the read and write iteratorsBart Van Assche2021-07-131-7/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 7fe1e79b59ba ("configfs: implement the .read_iter and .write_iter methods") changed the simple_read_from_buffer() calls into copy_to_iter() calls and the simple_write_to_buffer() calls into copy_from_iter() calls. The simple*buffer() methods update the file offset (*ppos) but the read and write iterators not yet. Make the read and write iterators update the file offset (iocb->ki_pos).

* treewide: remove editor modelines and cruftMasahiro Yamada2021-05-071-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The section "19) Editor modelines and other cruft" in Documentation/process/coding-style.rst clearly says, "Do not include any of these in source files." I recently receive a patch to explicitly add a new one. Let's do treewide cleanups, otherwise some people follow the existing code and attempt to upstream their favoriate editor setups. It is even nicer if scripts/checkpatch.pl can check it. If we like to impose coding style in an editor-independent manner, I think editorconfig (patch [1]) is a saner solution.

* configfs: fix a use-after-free in __configfs_open_fileDaiyue Zhang2021-03-111-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b0841eefd969 ("configfs: provide exclusion between IO and removals") uses ->frag_dead to mark the fragment state, thus no bothering with extra refcount on config_item when opening a file. The configfs_get_config_item was removed in __configfs_open_file, but not with config_item_put. So the refcount on config_item will lost its balance, causing use-after-free issues in some occasions like this: Test: 1. Mount configfs on /config with read-only items: drwxrwx--- 289 root root 0 2021-04-01 11:55 /config drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2021-04-01 11:54 /config/a --w--w--w- 1 root root 4096 2021-04-01 11:53 /config/a/1.txt ...... 2. Then run: for file in /config do echo $file grep -R 'key' $file done 3. __configfs_open_file will be called in parallel, the first one got called will do: if (file->f_mode & FMODE_READ) { if (!(inode->i_mode & S_IRUGO)) goto out_put_module; config_item_put(buffer->item); kref_put() package_details_release() kfree() the other one will run into use-after-free issues like this: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __configfs_open_file+0x1bc/0x3b0 Read of size 8 at addr fffffff155f02480 by task grep/13096 CPU: 0 PID: 13096 Comm: grep VIP: 00 Tainted: G W 4.14.116-kasan #1 TGID: 13096 Comm: grep Call trace: dump_stack+0x118/0x160 kasan_report+0x22c/0x294 __asan_load8+0x80/0x88 __configfs_open_file+0x1bc/0x3b0 configfs_open_file+0x28/0x34 do_dentry_open+0x2cc/0x5c0 vfs_open+0x80/0xe0 path_openat+0xd8c/0x2988 do_filp_open+0x1c4/0x2fc do_sys_open+0x23c/0x404 SyS_openat+0x38/0x48 Allocated by task 2138: kasan_kmalloc+0xe0/0x1ac kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x334/0x394 packages_make_item+0x4c/0x180 configfs_mkdir+0x358/0x740 vfs_mkdir2+0x1bc/0x2e8 SyS_mkdirat+0x154/0x23c el0_svc_naked+0x34/0x38 Freed by task 13096: kasan_slab_free+0xb8/0x194 kfree+0x13c/0x910 package_details_release+0x524/0x56c kref_put+0xc4/0x104 config_item_put+0x24/0x34 __configfs_open_file+0x35c/0x3b0 configfs_open_file+0x28/0x34 do_dentry_open+0x2cc/0x5c0 vfs_open+0x80/0xe0 path_openat+0xd8c/0x2988 do_filp_open+0x1c4/0x2fc do_sys_open+0x23c/0x404 SyS_openat+0x38/0x48 el0_svc_naked+0x34/0x38 To fix this issue, remove the config_item_put in __configfs_open_file to balance the refcount of config_item.

* configfs: provide exclusion between IO and removalsAl Viro2019-09-041-18/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure that attribute methods are not called after the item has been removed from the tree. To do so, we * at the point of no return in removals, grab ->frag_sem exclusive and mark the fragment dead. * call the methods of attributes with ->frag_sem taken shared and only after having verified that the fragment is still alive. The main benefit is for method instances - they are guaranteed that the objects they are accessing *and* all ancestors are still there. Another win is that we don't need to bother with extra refcount on config_item when opening a file - the item will be alive for as long as it stays in the tree, and we won't touch it/attributes/any associated data after it's been removed from the tree.

* configfs: don't set buffer_needs_fill to zero if show() returns errorTal Shorer2016-07-101-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A confgifs attribute's show() callback is called once the first time the user attempts to read from it. If it returns an error, that error is returned to the user. However, the open file's buffer_needs_fill is still set to zero and consecutive read() calls will find an empty buffer that doesn't need filling and return 0 to the user. This could give the user the wrong impression that the attribute was read successfully. Fix this by not setting buffer_needs_fill if show() returns an error, making consecutive read() calls call show() again and either get an error again or get data.

* configfs: Remove ppos increment in configfs_write_bin_fileMarek Vasut2016-06-301-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The simple_write_to_buffer() already increments the @ppos on success, see fs/libfs.c simple_write_to_buffer() comment: " On success, the number of bytes written is returned and the offset @ppos advanced by this number, or negative value is returned on error. " If the configfs_write_bin_file() is invoked with @count smaller than the total length of the written binary file, it will be invoked multiple times. Since configfs_write_bin_file() increments @ppos on success, after calling simple_write_to_buffer(), the @ppos is incremented twice. Subsequent invocation of configfs_write_bin_file() will result in the next piece of data being written to the offset twice as long as the length of the previous write, thus creating buffer with "holes" in it. The simple testcase using DTO follows: $ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/1 $ dd bs=1 if=foo.dtbo of=/sys/kernel/config/device-tree/overlays/1/dtbo Without this patch, the testcase will result in twice as big buffer in the kernel, which is then passed to the cfs_overlay_item_dtbo_write() .

* configfs: implement binary attributesPantelis Antoniou2016-01-041-9/+246
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that fit the configfs usage model. Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource, such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created devices etc. Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals and howto use them. This patch is against linux-next as of today that contains Christoph's configfs rework.

* [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ constArjan van de Ven2006-03-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* configfs: Add permission and ownership to configfs objects.Joel Becker2006-02-031-9/+10
| | | | | | | | | | configfs always made item and attribute ownership root.root and permissions based on a umask of 022. Add ->setattr() to allow chown(2)/chmod(2), and persist the changes for the lifetime of the items and attributes.

* [PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_semJes Sorensen2006-01-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your luck with it might be different.

* [PATCH] configfs: User-driven configuration filesystemJoel Becker2006-01-031-0/+360
Configfs, a file system for userspace-driven kernel object configuration. The OCFS2 stack makes extensive use of this for propagation of cluster configuration information into kernel. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>
