2006-10-11IPsec: correct semantics for SELinux policy matchingVenkat Yekkirala
Currently when an IPSec policy rule doesn't specify a security context, it is assumed to be "unlabeled" by SELinux, and so the IPSec policy rule fails to match to a flow that it would otherwise match to, unless one has explicitly added an SELinux policy rule allowing the flow to "polmatch" to the "unlabeled" IPSec policy rules. In the absence of such an explicitly added SELinux policy rule, the IPSec policy rule fails to match and so the packet(s) flow in clear text without the otherwise applicable xfrm(s) applied. The above SELinux behavior violates the SELinux security notion of "deny by default" which should actually translate to "encrypt by default" in the above case. This was first reported by Evgeniy Polyakov and the way James Morris was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec. With this patch applied, SELinux "polmatching" of flows Vs. IPSec policy rules will only come into play when there's a explicit context specified for the IPSec policy rule (which also means there's corresponding SELinux policy allowing appropriate domains/flows to polmatch to this context). Secondly, when a security module is loaded (in this case, SELinux), the security_xfrm_policy_lookup() hook can return errors other than access denied, such as -EINVAL. We were not handling that correctly, and in fact inverting the return logic and propagating a false "ok" back up to xfrm_lookup(), which then allowed packets to pass as if they were not associated with an xfrm policy. The solution for this is to first ensure that errno values are correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains from security_xfrm_policy_lookup(), and handled correctly. Then, flow_cache_lookup() is modified, so that if the policy resolver fails (typically a permission denied via the security module), the flow cache entry is killed rather than having a null policy assigned (which indicates that the packet can pass freely). This also forces any future lookups for the same flow to consult the security module (e.g. SELinux) for current security policy (rather than, say, caching the error on the flow cache entry). This patch: Fix the selinux side of things. This makes sure SELinux polmatching of flow contexts to IPSec policy rules comes into play only when an explicit context is associated with the IPSec policy rule. Also, this no longer defaults the context of a socket policy to the context of the socket since the "no explicit context" case is now handled properly.

2006-10-11[PATCH] VFS: Destroy the dentries contributed by a superblock on unmountingDavid Howells
The attached patch destroys all the dentries attached to a superblock in one go by: (1) Destroying the tree rooted at s_root. (2) Destroying every entry in the anon list, one at a time. (3) Each entry in the anon list has its subtree consumed from the leaves inwards. This reduces the amount of work generic_shutdown_super() does, and avoids iterating through the dentry_unused list. Note that locking is almost entirely absent in the shrink_dcache_for_umount*() functions added by this patch. This is because: (1) at the point the filesystem calls generic_shutdown_super(), it is not permitted to further touch the superblock's set of dentries, and nor may it remove aliases from inodes; (2) the dcache memory shrinker now skips dentries that are being unmounted; and (3) the superblock no longer has any external references through which the VFS can reach it. Given these points, the only locking we need to do is when we remove dentries from the unused list and the name hashes, which we do a directory's worth at a time. We also don't need to guard against reference counts going to zero unexpectedly and removing bits of the tree we're working on as nothing else can call dput(). A cut down version of dentry_iput() has been folded into shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() function. Apart from not needing to unlock things, it also doesn't need to check for inotify watches. In this version of the patch, the complaint about a dentry still being in use has been expanded from a single BUG_ON() and now gives much more information.

2006-10-11[PATCH] bitmap: parse input from kernel and user buffersReinette Chatre
lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc function of the /proc filesystem operates. This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user(). We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for kernel and user. This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the upcoming bandwidth allocator code. Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

Module taint flags listing in Oops/panic has a couple of issues: * taint_flags() doesn't null-terminate the buffer after printing the flags * per-module taints are only set if the kernel is not already tainted (with that particular flag) => only the first offending module gets its taint info correctly updated Some additional changes: * 'license_gplok' is no longer needed - equivalent to !(taints & TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE) - so we can drop it from struct module * exporting module taint info via /proc/module: pwc 88576 0 - Live 0xf8c32000 evilmod 6784 1 pwc, Live 0xf8bbf000 (PF) Signed-off-by: Florin Malita <fmalita@gmail.com> Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-10-11[PATCH] epoll_pwait()Davide Libenzi
Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait is: int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents, int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize); The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event, or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system call will act exactly like epoll_wait.

2006-10-09[PATCH] Introduce vfs_listxattrBill Nottingham
This patch moves code out of fs/xattr.c:listxattr into a new function - vfs_listxattr. The code for vfs_listxattr was originally submitted by Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> to Unionfs. Sorry about that. The reason for this submission is to make the listxattr code in fs/xattr.c a little cleaner (as well as to clean up some code in Unionfs.) Currently, Unionfs has vfs_listxattr defined in its code. I think that's very ugly, and I'd like to see it (re)moved. The logical place to put it, is along side of all the other vfs_*xattr functions. Overall, I think this patch is benefitial for both kernel.org kernel and Unionfs.

2006-10-06[PATCH] knfsd: tidy up up meaning of 'buffer size' in nfsd/sunrpcNeilBrown
There is some confusion about the meaning of 'bufsz' for a sunrpc server. In some cases it is the largest message that can be sent or received. In other cases it is the largest 'payload' that can be included in a NFS message. In either case, it is not possible for both the request and the reply to be this large. One of the request or reply may only be one page long, which fits nicely with NFS. So we remove 'bufsz' and replace it with two numbers: 'max_payload' and 'max_mesg'. Max_payload is the size that the server requests. It is used by the server to check the max size allowed on a particular connection: depending on the protocol a lower limit might be used. max_mesg is the largest single message that can be sent or received. It is calculated as the max_payload, rounded up to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, and with PAGE_SIZE added to overhead. Only one of the request and reply may be this size. The other must be at most one page. Cc: Greg Banks <gnb@sgi.com> Cc: "J.
