Message-Id: <1362065133-9490-1-git-send-email-piastry@etersoft.ru> Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2013 19:25:26 +0400 From: Pavel Shilovsky <piastry@...rsoft.ru> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-cifs@...r.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org, linux-nfs@...r.kernel.org, wine-devel@...ehq.org Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] Add O_DENY* support for VFS and CIFS/NFS This patchset adds support of O_DENY* flags for Linux fs layer. These flags can be used by any application that needs share reservations to organize a file access. VFS already has some sort of this capability - now it's done through flock/LOCK_MAND mechanis, but that approach is non-atomic. This patchset build new capabilities on top of the existing one but doesn't bring any changes into the flock call semantic. These flags can be used by NFS (built-in-kernel) and CIFS (Samba) servers and Wine applications through VFS (for local filesystems) or CIFS/NFS modules. This will help when e.g. Samba and NFS server share the same directory for Windows and Linux users or Wine applications use Samba/NFS share to access the same data from different clients. According to the previous discussions the most problematic question is how to prevent situations like DoS attacks where e.g /lib/liba.so file can be open with DENYREAD, or smth like this. That's why one extra flag O_DENYMAND is added. It indicates to underlying layer that an application want to use O_DENY* flags semantic. It allows us not affect native Linux applications (that don't use O_DENYMAND flag) - so, these flags (and the semantic of open syscall that they bring) are used only for those applications that really want it proccessed that way. So, we have four new flags: O_DENYREAD - to prevent other opens with read access, O_DENYWRITE - to prevent other opens with write access, O_DENYDELETE - to prevent delete operations (this flag is not implemented in VFS and NFS part and only suitable for CIFS module), O_DENYMAND - to switch on/off three flags above. Also, this version of the patchset fixes the problem of data races on newely created files: open with O_CREAT can return the -ETXTBSY error for a successfully created file if this files was locked with a deny lock by another task. The #1 patch adds flags to fcntl, the #2 patch implements VFS part. The patches #3, #4, #5 are related to CIFS-specific changes, #6 and #7 describe NFS and NFSD parts. The preliminary patch for Samba that replaces the existing use of flock/LOCK_MAND mechanism with O_DENY* flags: http://git.etersoft.ru/people/piastry/packages/?p=samba.git;a=commitdiff;h=0596193832ace26a1dd54160c7380d071a83115b The future part of open man page patch: ----- O_DENYMAND - used to inforce a mandatory share reservation scheme of the file access. If this flag is passed, the open fails with -ETXTBSY in following cases: 1) if O_DENYREAD flag is specified and there is another open with O_DENYMAND flag and READ access to the file; 2) if O_DENYWRITE flag is specified and there is another open with O_DENYMAND flag and WRITE access to the file; 3) if READ access is requested and there is another open with O_DENYMAND and O_DENYREAD flags; 4) if WRITE access is requested and there is another open with O_DENYMAND and O_DENYWRITE flags. If O_DENYDELETE flag is specified and the open succeded, any further unlink operation will fail with -ETXTBSY untill this open is closed. Now this flag is processed by CIFS filesystems only. This mechanism is done through flocks. If O_DENYMAND is specified and flock syscall is processed after the open. The share modes are translated into flock according the following rules: 1) O_DENYMAND -> LOCK_MAND 2) !O_DENYREAD -> LOCK_READ 3) !O_DENYWRITE -> LOCK_WRITE ----- Pavel Shilovsky (7): fcntl: Introduce new O_DENY* open flags vfs: Add O_DENYREAD/WRITE flags support for open syscall CIFS: Add O_DENY* open flags support CIFS: Use NT_CREATE_ANDX command for forcemand mounts CIFS: Translate SHARING_VIOLATION to -ETXTBSY error code for SMB2 NFSv4: Add O_DENY* open flags support NFSD: Pass share reservations flags to VFS fs/cifs/cifsacl.c | 6 +- fs/cifs/cifsglob.h | 12 +++- fs/cifs/cifsproto.h | 9 +-- fs/cifs/cifssmb.c | 47 ++++++++-------- fs/cifs/dir.c | 14 +++-- fs/cifs/file.c | 18 ++++-- fs/cifs/inode.c | 11 ++-- fs/cifs/link.c | 10 ++-- fs/cifs/readdir.c | 2 +- fs/cifs/smb1ops.c | 15 ++--- fs/cifs/smb2file.c | 10 ++-- fs/cifs/smb2inode.c | 4 +- fs/cifs/smb2maperror.c | 2 +- fs/cifs/smb2ops.c | 10 ++-- fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c | 6 +- fs/cifs/smb2proto.h | 14 +++-- fs/fcntl.c | 5 +- fs/locks.c | 117 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- fs/namei.c | 44 ++++++++++++++- fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c | 24 ++++++-- fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c | 46 ++++++++++++++- include/linux/fs.h | 6 ++ include/uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h | 14 +++++ 23 files changed, 345 insertions(+), 101 deletions(-) -- 1.8.1.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
