cover Fix regression in NFSv3 ACL setting

Commit 013cdf1088d7 ("nfs: use generic posix ACL infrastructure for v3 Posix ACLs") introduce a regression for NFSv3 ACL setting. An owner should be able to set an ACL, but the new code tests for ownership in a way that is not reliable for NFSv3. For NFSv3 the only reliable test is to send the request to the server and see if it works.

The first patch introduces MAY_ACT_AS_OWNER and relies on the filesystem to do the appropriate ownership test. This touches several filesystems, hence the long 'Cc' list. Following two patches are small code cleanups relating to this.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

PATCH 1/3 VFS: introduce MAY_ACT_AS_OWNER

A few places in VFS, particularly set_posix_acl(), use inode_owner_or_capable() to check if the caller has "owner" access to the inode.
This assumes that it is valid to test inode->i_uid, which is not always the case. Particularly in the case of NFS it is not valid to us i_uid (or i_mode) for permission tests - the server needs to make the decision.

As a result if the server is remapping uids
(e.g. all-squash,anon_uid=1000),
then all users should have ownership access, but most users will not be able to set acls.

This patch moves the ownership test to inode_permission and i_op->permission.
A new flag for these functions, MAY_ACT_AS_OWNER is introduced. generic_permission() now handles this correctly and many i_op->permission functions call this function() and don't need any changes. A few are changed to handle MAY_ACT_AS_OWNER exactly as generic_permission() does, using inode_owner_or_capable(). For these filesystems, no behavioural change should be noticed.

For NFS, nfs_permission is changed to always return 0 (success) if MAY_ACT_AS_OWNER. For NFS, any operations which use this flag should be sent to the server, and the server will succeed or fail as appropriate.

Fixes 013cdf1088d7 ("nfs: use generic posix ACL infrastructure for v3 Posix ACLs")

You don't know that inode->i_uid in meaningful. You may have noticed that afs_permission() ignores i_uid and i_gid entirely. It queries the server (if this information is not otherwise cached) to ask what permits the user is granted - where the user identity is defined by the key returned from afs_request_key()[*].

So, NAK for the afs piece.

Re: [PATCH 1/3] VFS: introduce MAY_ACT_AS_OWNER

Same for Coda.

uid/gid/mode don't mean anything, access is based on the directory ACL and the authentication token that is held by the userspace cache manager and ultimately decided by the servers.

Unless someone broke this recently and made permission checks uid based I would expect no change. If this is broken by a recent commit I expect something similar to what NFS is trying to do by allowing the actual check to be passed down.

As with afs, the only permission check I can find that is uid based and which actually affects coda is the check for use fcntl(F_SETFL) to set O_NOATIME. I suspect that is irrelevant for coda.
I'll resubmit with the same code for both NFS and code - and probably AFS.

Thanks for the review.
As afs doesn't use the generic xattr code and doesn't call setattr_prepare(), this is all largely irrelevant for afs.

afs_permission() will probably only get MAY_ACT_AS_OWNER passed when someone uses fcntl(F_SETFL) to set the O_NOATIME flag. Currently a permission test based on UID is performed which, as you say, is wrong. My patch simply preserved this current (wrong) behaviour. Shall I change it to always allow access, like with NFS? Probably O_NOATIME is ignored, in which case f_op->check_flags should probably report -EINVAL (???) ... or might that cause a regression?

There's no atime in AFS.

You have to have an appropriate key to be able to do anything not granted to anonymous with the server. If the server says your key (or lack thereof) is allowed to do something, you can do it; if it does not, you can't.

No atime. I just ignore things like O_NOATIME. You will be able to query the filesystem with fsinfo() hopefully soon to find out if there is an atime and if you can disable it.

PATCH 2/3 VFS: allow MAY_ flags to be easily extended.

In reply to NeilBrown

NFSD uses permission flags similar to the MAY_* flags, with some overlap, and depends on the overlap matching. This is currently a little fragile and hard to extend.

So add __MAY_UNUSED to identify the first unused flag, and have NFSD use that flag and later flags for its non-standard permissions.

v1 of this patch had an obvious bug which, of course, I couldn't see until after posting.
__MAY_UNUSED had the same value as MAY_ACT_AS_OWNER - so it wasn't unused!

PATCH 3/3 NFSD - Use MAY_ACT_AS_OWNER

In reply to NeilBrown

The NFSD_MAY_OWNER_OVERRIDE has exactly the same meaning as the new MAY_ACT_AS_OWNER flag, so simplify the code by making use of the identity.

The move NFSD_MAY_OWNER_OVERRIDE into NFSD_MAY_MASK, but that is not a problem is it is always set together with a flag that is already in the MASK.
