Al pointed out that ksmbd has racy issue from using -&gt;d_parent and -&gt;d_name
in ksmbd_vfs_unlink and smb2_vfs_rename(). and use new lock_rename_child()
to lock stable parent while underlying rename racy.
Introduce vfs_path_parent_lookup helper to avoid out of share access and
export vfs functions like the following ones to use
vfs_path_parent_lookup().
 - rename __lookup_hash() to lookup_one_qstr_excl().
 - export lookup_one_qstr_excl().
 - export getname_kernel() and putname().

vfs_path_parent_lookup() is used for parent lookup of destination file
using absolute pathname given from FILE_RENAME_INFORMATION request.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

<title>fs: pass dentry to set acl method</title>

<id>urn:sha1:138060ba92b3b0d77c8e6818d0f33398b23ea42e</id>
<content type='text'>
The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].

Since some filesystem rely on the dentry being available to them when
setting posix acls (e.g., 9p and cifs) they cannot rely on set acl inode
operation. But since -&gt;set_acl() is required in order to use the generic
posix acl xattr handlers filesystems that do not implement this inode
operation cannot use the handler and need to implement their own
dedicated posix acl handlers.

Update the -&gt;set_acl() inode method to take a dentry argument. This
allows all filesystems to rely on -&gt;set_acl().

As far as I can tell all codepaths can be switched to rely on the dentry
instead of just the inode. Note that the original motivation for passing
the dentry separate from the inode instead of just the dentry in the
xattr handlers was because of security modules that call
security_d_instantiate(). This hook is called during
d_instantiate_new(), d_add(), __d_instantiate_anon(), and
d_splice_alias() to initialize the inode's security context and possibly
to set security.* xattrs. Since this only affects security.* xattrs this
is completely irrelevant for posix acls.

<title>ksmbd: make utf-8 file name comparison work in __caseless_lookup()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dbab80e2071ad8c702e50dab43326608a127d27b</id>
<content type='text'>
Case-insensitive file name lookups with __caseless_lookup() use
strncasecmp() for file name comparison. strncasecmp() assumes an
ISO8859-1-compatible encoding, which is not the case here as UTF-8
is always used. As such, use of strncasecmp() here produces correct
results only if both strings use characters in the ASCII range only.
Fix this by using utf8_strncasecmp() if CONFIG_UNICODE is set. On
failure or if CONFIG_UNICODE is not set, fallback to strncasecmp().
Also, as we are adding an include for `linux/unicode.h', include it
in `fs/ksmbd/connection.h' as well since it should be explicit there.

<id>urn:sha1:0c5fd887d2bb47aa37aa9fb1eb1d1d2abac62972</id>
<content type='text'>
This cycle we added support for mounting overlayfs on top of idmapped mounts.
Recently I've started looking into potential corner cases when trying to add
additional tests and I noticed that reporting for POSIX ACLs is currently wrong
when using idmapped layers with overlayfs mounted on top of it.

I'm going to give a rather detailed explanation to both the origin of the
problem and the solution.

Let's assume the user creates the following directory layout and they have a
rootfs /var/lib/lxc/c1/rootfs. The files in this rootfs are owned as you would
expect files on your host system to be owned. For example, ~/.bashrc for your
regular user would be owned by 1000:1000 and /root/.bashrc would be owned by
0:0. IOW, this is just regular boring filesystem tree on an ext4 or xfs
filesystem.

The user chooses to set POSIX ACLs using the setfacl binary granting the user
with uid 4 read, write, and execute permissions for their .bashrc file:

        setfacl -m u:4:rwx /var/lib/lxc/c2/rootfs/home/ubuntu/.bashrc

Now they to expose the whole rootfs to a container using an idmapped mount. So
they first create:

        mkdir -pv /vol/contpool/{ctrover,merge,lowermap,overmap}
        mkdir -pv /vol/contpool/ctrover/{over,work}
        chown 10000000:10000000 /vol/contpool/ctrover/{over,work}

The user now creates an idmapped mount for the rootfs:

        mount-idmapped/mount-idmapped --map-mount=b:0:10000000:65536 \
                                      /var/lib/lxc/c2/rootfs \
                                      /vol/contpool/lowermap

This for example makes it so that /var/lib/lxc/c2/rootfs/home/ubuntu/.bashrc
which is owned by uid and gid 1000 as being owned by uid and gid 10001000 at
/vol/contpool/lowermap/home/ubuntu/.bashrc.

Assume the user wants to expose these idmapped mounts through an overlayfs
mount to a container.

       mount -t overlay overlay                      \
             -o lowerdir=/vol/contpool/lowermap,     \
                upperdir=/vol/contpool/overmap/over, \
                workdir=/vol/contpool/overmap/work   \
             /vol/contpool/merge

The user can do this in two ways:

(1) Mount overlayfs in the initial user namespace and expose it to the
    container.
(2) Mount overlayfs on top of the idmapped mounts inside of the container's
    user namespace.

Let's assume the user chooses the (1) option and mounts overlayfs on the host
and then changes into a container which uses the idmapping 0:10000000:65536
which is the same used for the two idmapped mounts.

Now the user tries to retrieve the POSIX ACLs using the getfacl command

        getfacl -n /vol/contpool/lowermap/home/ubuntu/.bashrc

and to their surprise they see:

        # file: vol/contpool/merge/home/ubuntu/.bashrc
        # owner: 1000
        # group: 1000
        user::rw-
        user:4294967295:rwx
        group::r--
        mask::rwx
        other::r--

indicating the the uid wasn't correctly translated according to the idmapped
mount. The problem is how we currently translate POSIX ACLs. Let's inspect the
callchain in this example:

        idmapped mount /vol/contpool/merge:      0:10000000:65536
        caller's idmapping:                      0:10000000:65536
        overlayfs idmapping (ofs-&gt;creator_cred): 0:0:4k /* initial idmapping */

        sys_getxattr()
        -&gt; path_getxattr()
           -&gt; getxattr()
              -&gt; do_getxattr()
                  |&gt; vfs_getxattr()
                  |  -&gt; __vfs_getxattr()
                  |     -&gt; handler-&gt;get == ovl_posix_acl_xattr_get()
                  |        -&gt; ovl_xattr_get()
                  |           -&gt; vfs_getxattr()
                  |              -&gt; __vfs_getxattr()
                  |                 -&gt; handler-&gt;get() /* lower filesystem callback */
                  |&gt; posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user()
                     {
                              4 = make_kuid(&amp;init_user_ns, 4);
                              4 = mapped_kuid_fs(&amp;init_user_ns /* no idmapped mount */, 4);
                              /* FAILURE */
                             -1 = from_kuid(0:10000000:65536 /* caller's idmapping */, 4);
                     }

If the user chooses to use option (2) and mounts overlayfs on top of idmapped
mounts inside the container things don't look that much better:

        idmapped mount /vol/contpool/merge:      0:10000000:65536
        caller's idmapping:                      0:10000000:65536
        overlayfs idmapping (ofs-&gt;creator_cred): 0:10000000:65536

        sys_getxattr()
        -&gt; path_getxattr()
           -&gt; getxattr()
              -&gt; do_getxattr()
                  |&gt; vfs_getxattr()
                  |  -&gt; __vfs_getxattr()
                  |     -&gt; handler-&gt;get == ovl_posix_acl_xattr_get()

                  |                 -&gt; handler-&gt;get() /* lower filesystem callback */
                  |&gt; posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user()

                             -1 = from_kuid(0:10000000:65536 /* caller's idmapping */, 4);
                     }

As is easily seen the problem arises because the idmapping of the lower mount
isn't taken into account as all of this happens in do_gexattr(). But
do_getxattr() is always called on an overlayfs mount and inode and thus cannot
possible take the idmapping of the lower layers into account.

This problem is similar for fscaps but there the translation happens as part of
vfs_getxattr() already. Let's walk through an fscaps overlayfs callchain:

        setcap 'cap_net_raw+ep' /var/lib/lxc/c2/rootfs/home/ubuntu/.bashrc

The expected outcome here is that we'll receive the cap_net_raw capability as
we are able to map the uid associated with the fscap to 0 within our container.
IOW, we want to see 0 as the result of the idmapping translations.

If the user chooses option (1) we get the following callchain for fscaps:

        idmapped mount /vol/contpool/merge:      0:10000000:65536
        caller's idmapping:                      0:10000000:65536
        overlayfs idmapping (ofs-&gt;creator_cred): 0:0:4k /* initial idmapping */

We can see how the translation happens correctly in those cases as the
conversion happens within the vfs_getxattr() helper.

For POSIX ACLs we need to do something similar. However, in contrast to fscaps
we cannot apply the fix directly to the kernel internal posix acl data
structure as this would alter the cached values and would also require a rework
of how we currently deal with POSIX ACLs in general which almost never take the
filesystem idmapping into account (the noteable exception being FUSE but even
there the implementation is special) and instead retrieve the raw values based
on the initial idmapping.

The correct values are then generated right before returning to userspace. The
fix for this is to move taking the mount's idmapping into account directly in
vfs_getxattr() instead of having it be part of posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user().

To this end we split out two small and unexported helpers
posix_acl_getxattr_idmapped_mnt() and posix_acl_setxattr_idmapped_mnt(). The
former to be called in vfs_getxattr() and the latter to be called in
vfs_setxattr().

Let's go back to the original example. Assume the user chose option (1) and
mounted overlayfs on top of idmapped mounts on the host:

        idmapped mount /vol/contpool/merge:      0:10000000:65536
        caller's idmapping:                      0:10000000:65536

The last remaining problem we need to fix here is ovl_get_acl(). During
ovl_permission() overlayfs will call:

        ovl_permission()
        -&gt; generic_permission()
           -&gt; acl_permission_check()
              -&gt; check_acl()
                 -&gt; get_acl()
                    -&gt; inode-&gt;i_op-&gt;get_acl() == ovl_get_acl()
                        &gt; get_acl() /* on the underlying filesystem)
                          -&gt;inode-&gt;i_op-&gt;get_acl() == /*lower filesystem callback */
                 -&gt; posix_acl_permission()

passing through the get_acl request to the underlying filesystem. This will
retrieve the acls stored in the lower filesystem without taking the idmapping
of the underlying mount into account as this would mean altering the cached
values for the lower filesystem. So we block using ACLs for now until we
decided on a nice way to fix this. Note this limitation both in the
documentation and in the code.

The most straightforward solution would be to have ovl_get_acl() simply
duplicate the ACLs, update the values according to the idmapped mount and
return it to acl_permission_check() so it can be used in posix_acl_permission()
forgetting them afterwards. This is a bit heavy handed but fairly
straightforward otherwise.
