cover user ns: Introduction

This patchset adds a user namespace, which allows a process to unshare its user_struct table, allowing for separate accounting per user namespace. It appends a user namespace to vfsmounts and fown_structs, so that uid1==uid2 checks can be extended to be false if uid1 and uid2 are in different namespaces.

A vfsmount generally cannot be accessed by another user namespace than that in which it was mounted. A vfsmount can be mounted "shared-ns", in which case it can be accessed by any user namespace. This is needed at least to bootstrap a container so it can get far enough to create it's own private file system tree, and can be used in conjunction with read-only bind mounts to provide shared /usr trees, for instance. However, for more useful, more fine-grained sharing accross user namespaces, it has been suggested that a new filesystem specifying global userid's be used.

Patches are as follows:

1. make exit_task_namespaces extern to prevent future compile failure.
2. add userns framework.
3. add userns pointer to vfsmount
4. hook permission to check current against vfsmount userns
5. prepare for copy_mnt and copy_tree to return -EPERM
6. implement shared mounts which can cross user namespaces
7. implement user ns checks for file sigio
8. implement user namespace unshare

Following is a test program to verify that the cross-user-namespace mount permissions are working correctly. The attached patches pass both this test and LTP.

thanks,

PATCH 2/8 user namespace: add the framework

In reply to Serge E. Hallyn

From: Cedric Le Goater <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH -mm 2/8] user namespace: add the framework

This patch adds the user namespace struct and framework

Basically, it will allow a process to unshare its user_struct table, resetting at the same time its own user_struct and all the associated accounting.

A new root user (uid == 0) is added to the user namespace upon creation. Such root users have full privileges and it seems that theses privileges should be controlled through some means (process capabilities ?)

The unshare is not included in this patch.

Changes since [try #4]:
- Updated get_user_ns and put_user_ns to accept NULL, and get_user_ns to return the namespace.

Changes since [try #3]:
- moved struct user_namespace to files user_namespace.{c,h}

Changes since [try #2]:
- removed struct user_namespace* argument from find_user()

Changes since [try #1]:
- removed struct user_namespace* argument from find_user()
- added a root_user per user namespace

PATCH 5/8 user ns: prepare copy_tree, copy_mnt, and their callers to handle errs

In reply to Serge E. Hallyn

From: Serge E. Hallyn <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH -mm 5/8] user ns: prepare copy_tree, copy_mnt, and their callers to handle errs

With shareduserns and non-shareduserns mounts, it will be possible for clone_mnt to return -EPERM if a namespace tries to bind mount a non-shareduserns vfsmnt from another user namespace. But currently they only return NULL, which is interpreted as -ENOMEM. Update the callers to handle other errors.

I think that this check can be safely skiped, as res is always non-NULL when Error: is now reached, isn't it?

Good point. In addition, we can clean the code up a little by not letting clone_mnt return NULL. Compile-tested patch follows. Though really it starts to look like clone_mnt should be split into two parts, with the original clone_mnt static inline, and the new clone_mnt doing the permission check and return value conversion...

From: Serge E. Hallyn <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH 1/1] userns: cleanups with clone_mnt

As Frederik Deweerdt points out, the Error: case in copy_tree() can no longer have res==NULL, so remove that check.

Also make clone_mnt always return -ENOMEM in place of NULL.

PATCH 6/8 user ns: implement shared mounts

In reply to Serge E. Hallyn

From: Serge E. Hallyn <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH -mm 6/8] user ns: implement shared mounts

Implement shared-ns mounts, which allow containers in different user namespaces to share mounts. Without this, containers can obviously never even be started.

Here is a sample smount.c (based on Miklos' version) which only does a bind mount of arg1 onto arg2, but making the destination a shared-ns mount.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{
	int type;
	if(argc != 3) {
		fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s src dest", argv[0]);
		return 1;
	}

	fprintf(stdout, "%s %s %s\n", argv[0], argv[1], argv[2]);

	type = MS_SHARE_NS | MS_BIND;
	setfsuid(getuid());

	if(mount(argv[1], argv[2], "none", type, "") == -1) {
		perror("mount");
		return 1;
	}
	return 0;
}

PATCH 7/8 user_ns: handle file sigio

In reply to Serge E. Hallyn

From: Serge E. Hallyn <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH -mm 7/8] user_ns: handle file sigio

A process in one user namespace could set a fowner and sigio on a file in a shared vfsmount, ending up killing a task in another user namespace.

Prevent this by adding a user namespace pointer to the fown_struct, and enforcing that a process causing a signal to be sent be in the same user namespace as the file owner.

A process in one user namespace could set a fowner and sigio on a file in a shared vfsmount, ending up killing a task in another user namespace.

Prevent this by adding a user namespace pointer to the fown_struct, and enforcing that a process causing a signal to be sent be in the same user namespace as the file owner.

This patch breaks the X server (stock FC5 install) with CONFIG_USER_NS=n. Neither the USB mouse nor the trackpad work. They work OK under GPM.

Setting CONFIG_USER_NS=y "fixes" this. This bug was not observed in 2.6.20-rc3-mm1 because that kernel had user-ns-always-on.patch for other reasons. (I'll restore that patch).

I did reproduce it on a FC5 desktop finally.

get_user_ns() returns NULL when CONFIG_USER_NS=n and this breaks sigio_perm() which does not expect NULL values for ->user_ns.

I would fix this with the following patch.

Argh.

Thanks, Cedric.

Rewriting the userns testcases right now. Clearly, in addition to separately testing clone and unshare, I need to add a sigioperm check, and have a separate set of testcases for CONFIG_USER_NS=n.

Could we get rid of CONFIG_USER_NS ?

It doesn't look that useful anyway, it just deactivates the unshare capability for the user namespace.

Same question for the other mainline namespaces, IPC and utsname.

Setting CONFIG_USER_NS=y fixes this.

Ok, I see. The CONFIG_USER_NS split is absolutely horrible. Should really get rid of the user_ns pointers altogether when !CONFIG_USER_NS. I'll try to fix it up without putting ifdefs all over - planning to send a patch tomorrow.

thanks,

Actually it's not that bad. Following patch fixes what I believe is the underlying problem, and in any case was a definite bug.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] user ns: fix !CONFIG_USER_NS mount denial

Don't do user_ns permission checks when !CONFIG_USER_NS.
