In the initial implementation of ext4 encryption, the filename was encrypted in ext4_insert_dentry(), which could fail and also required access to the 'dir' inode. Since then ext4 filename encryption has been changed to encrypt the filename earlier, so we can revert the additions to ext4_insert_dentry(). Signed-off-by:

Return enhanced file attributes from the Ext4 filesystem. This includes the following: (1) The inode creation time (i_crtime) as stx_btime, setting STATX_BTIME. (2) Certain FS_xxx_FL flags are mapped to stx_attribute flags. This requires that all ext4 inodes have a getattr call, not just some of them, so to this end, split the ext4_getattr() function and only call part of it where appropriate. Example output: [root@andromeda ~]# touch foo [root@andromeda ~]# chattr +ai foo [root@andromeda ~]# /tmp/test-statx foo statx(foo) = 0 results=fff Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 08:12 Inode: 2101950 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: 0 Gid: 0 Access: 2016-02-11 17:08:29.031795451+0000 Modify: 2016-02-11 17:08:29.031795451+0000 Change: 2016-02-11 17:11:11.987790114+0000 Birth: 2016-02-11 17:08:29.031795451+0000 Attributes: 0000000000000030 (-------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- --ai----) Signed-off-by:

Add a system call to make extended file information available, including file creation and some attribute flags where available through the underlying filesystem. The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*() function. Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage. ======== OVERVIEW ======== The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall with an extended stat structure. A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The following have been included: (1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large. (2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for future expansion. (3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an __s64). (4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime). This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could be exported by NFSD [Steve French]. (5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC). (6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust] (AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC). And the following have been left out for future extension: (7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh Kumar]. Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead. (There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since not all filesystems do this the same way). (8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen) [Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert]. (9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers [Bernd Schubert]. (This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to whether it's a security hole or not). (10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger]. (No particular data were offered, but things like last backup timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come into this category). (11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't exist or are fabricated locally... (This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea for this). (12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in struct xstat [Steve French]. (Deferred to fsinfo). (13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French]. (Deferred to fsinfo). (14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags. Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4 define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too). (Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't be exposed through statx this way). (15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer, Michael Kerrisk]. (Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or seclabal might require extra filesystem operations). (16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner]. (A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for this - if there proves to be a need). (17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this. =============== NEW SYSTEM CALL =============== The new system call is: int ret = statx(int dfd, const char *filename, unsigned int flags, unsigned int mask, struct statx *buffer); The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd. Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically only affects network filesystems): (1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this respect. (2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to occur to get the timestamps correct. (3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered approximate. mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for more information may entail extra I/O operations. buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in size. ====================== MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD ====================== The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute set: struct statx_timestamp { __s64 tv_sec; __s32 tv_nsec; __s32 __reserved; }; struct statx { __u32 stx_mask; __u32 stx_blksize; __u64 stx_attributes; __u32 stx_nlink; __u32 stx_uid; __u32 stx_gid; __u16 stx_mode; __u16 __spare0[1]; __u64 stx_ino; __u64 stx_size; __u64 stx_blocks; __u64 __spare1[1]; struct statx_timestamp stx_atime; struct statx_timestamp stx_btime; struct statx_timestamp stx_ctime; struct statx_timestamp stx_mtime; __u32 stx_rdev_major; __u32 stx_rdev_minor; __u32 stx_dev_major; __u32 stx_dev_minor; __u64 __spare2[14]; }; The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are: STATX_TYPE Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT STATX_MODE Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT STATX_NLINK Want/got stx_nlink STATX_UID Want/got stx_uid STATX_GID Want/got stx_gid STATX_ATIME Want/got stx_atime{,_ns} STATX_MTIME Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns} STATX_CTIME Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns} STATX_INO Want/got stx_ino STATX_SIZE Want/got stx_size STATX_BLOCKS Want/got stx_blocks STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct] STATX_BTIME Want/got stx_btime{,_ns} STATX_ALL [All currently available stuff] stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be placed. Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond fields will also be negative if not zero. The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value: STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by: KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS [Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed through this interface?] New flags include: STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially, depending on what they are. Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes: (0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize. These are local system information and are always available. (1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino, stx_size, stx_blocks. These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they actually have valid values. If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server, unless as a byproduct of updating something requested. If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask, even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned value will be a fabrication. Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for instance Windows reparse points. (2) stx_rdev_*. This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0. (3) stx_btime. Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist. ======= TESTING ======= The following test program can be used to test the statx system call: samples/statx/test-statx.c Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine. The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled. Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

Previously, each filesystem configured without encryption support would define all the public fscrypt functions to their notsupp_* stubs. This list of #defines had to be updated in every filesystem whenever a change was made to the public fscrypt functions. To make things more maintainable now that we have three filesystems using fscrypt, split the old header fscrypto.h into several new headers. fscrypt_supp.h contains the real declarations and is included by filesystems when configured with encryption support, whereas fscrypt_notsupp.h contains the inline stubs and is included by filesystems when configured without encryption support. fscrypt_common.h contains common declarations needed by both.

There was an unnecessary amount of complexity around requesting the filesystem-specific key prefix. It was unclear why; perhaps it was envisioned that different instances of the same filesystem type could use different key prefixes, or that key prefixes could be binary. However, neither of those things were implemented or really make sense at all. So simplify the code by making key_prefix a const char *. Signed-off-by:

To make it clear that fscrypt_process_policy() and fscrypt_get_policy() implement ioctls and therefore their implementations must take standard security and correctness precautions, rename them to fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy() and fscrypt_ioctl_get_policy().

Currently we just silently ignore flags that we don't understand (or that cannot be manipulated) through EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS and EXT4_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctls. This makes it problematic for the unused flags to be used in future (some app may be inadvertedly setting them and we won't notice until the flag gets used). Also this is inconsistent with other filesystems like XFS or BTRFS which return EOPNOTSUPP when they see a flag they cannot set. ext4 has the additional problem that there are flags which are returned by EXT4_IOC_GETFLAGS ioctl but which cannot be modified via EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS. So we have to be careful to ignore value of these flags and not fail the ioctl when they are set (as e.g. chattr(1) passes flags returned from EXT4_IOC_GETFLAGS to EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS without any masking and thus we'd break this utility).

CURRENT_TIME_SEC and CURRENT_TIME are not y2038 safe. current_time() will be transitioned to be y2038 safe along with vfs. current_time() returns timestamps according to the granularities set in the super_block. The granularity check in ext4_current_time() to call current_time() or CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not required. Use current_time() directly to obtain timestamps unconditionally, and remove ext4_current_time(). Quota files are assumed to be on the same filesystem. Hence, use current_time() for these files as well. Signed-off-by:

Currently ext4 treats DAX IO the same way as direct IO. I.e., it allocates unwritten extents before IO is done and converts unwritten extents afterwards. However this way DAX IO can race with page fault to the same area: ext4_ext_direct_IO() dax_fault() dax_io() get_block() - allocates unwritten extent copy_from_iter_pmem() get_block() - converts unwritten block to written and zeroes it out ext4_convert_unwritten_extents() So data written with DAX IO gets lost. Similarly dax_new_buf() called from dax_io() can overwrite data that has been already written to the block via mmap. Fix the problem by using pre-zeroed blocks for DAX IO the same way as we use them for DAX mmap. The downside of this solution is that every allocating write writes each block twice (once zeros, once data). Fixing the race with locking is possible as well however we would need to lock-out faults for the whole range written to by DAX IO. And that is not easy to do without locking-out faults for the whole file which seems too aggressive. Signed-off-by:

Currently ext4 direct IO handling is split between ext4_ext_direct_IO() and ext4_ind_direct_IO(). However the extent based function calls into the indirect based one for some cases and for example it is not able to handle file extending. Previously it was not also properly handling retries in case of ENOSPC errors. With DAX things would get even more contrieved so just refactor the direct IO code and instead of indirect / extent split do the split to read vs writes. Signed-off-by:

Including blkdev_direct_IO and dax_do_io. It has to be ki_pos to actually work, so eliminate the superflous argument. Signed-off-by:

In ext4, there is a race condition between changing inode journal mode and ext4_writepages(). While ext4_writepages() is executed on a non-journalled mode inode, the inode's journal mode could be enabled by ioctl() and then, some pages dirtied after switching the journal mode will be still exposed to ext4_writepages() in non-journaled mode. To resolve this problem, we use fs-wide per-cpu rw semaphore by Jan Kara's suggestion because we don't want to waste ext4_inode_info's space for this extra rare case. Signed-off-by:

Currently we ask jbd2 to write all dirty allocated buffers before committing a transaction when doing writeback of delay allocated blocks. However this is unnecessary since we move all pages to writeback state before dropping a transaction handle and then submit all the necessary IO. We still need the transaction commit to wait for all the outstanding writeback before flushing disk caches during transaction commit to avoid data exposure issues though. Use the new jbd2 capability and ask it to only wait for outstanding writeback during transaction commit when writing back data in ext4_writepages(). Tested-by:

This flag is just duplicating what ext4_should_order_data() tells you and is used in a single place. Furthermore it doesn't reflect changes to inode data journalling flag so it may be possibly misleading. Just remove it. Signed-off-by:

With the internal Quota feature, mke2fs creates empty quota inodes and quota usage tracking is enabled as soon as the file system is mounted. Since quotacheck is no longer preallocating all of the blocks in the quota inode that are likely needed to be written to, we are now seeing a lockdep false positive caused by needing to allocate a quota block from inside ext4_map_blocks(), while holding i_data_sem for a data inode. This results in this complaint: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&ei->i_data_sem); lock(&s->s_dquot.dqio_mutex); lock(&ei->i_data_sem); lock(&s->s_dquot.dqio_mutex); Google-Bug-Id: 27907753 Signed-off-by:

We don't want the writeback triggered from the journal commit (in data=writeback mode) to cause the journal to abort due to generic_writepages() returning an ENOMEM error. In addition, if fsync() fails with ENOMEM, most applications will probably not do the right thing. So if we are doing a data integrity sync, and ext4_encrypt() returns ENOMEM, we will submit any queued I/O to date, and then retry the allocation using GFP_NOFAIL.
