Merge tag 'vfs-6.7-rc3.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner: - Avoid calling back into LSMs from vfs_getattr_nosec() calls. IMA used to query inode properties accessing raw inode fields without dedicated helpers. That was finally fixed a few releases ago by forcing IMA to use vfs_getattr_nosec() helpers. The goal of the vfs_getattr_nosec() helper is to query for attributes without calling into the LSM layer which would be quite problematic because incredibly IMA is called from __fput()... __fput() -> ima_file_free() What it does is to call back into the filesystem to update the file's IMA xattr. Querying the inode without using vfs_getattr_nosec() meant that IMA didn't handle stacking filesystems such as overlayfs correctly. So the switch to vfs_getattr_nosec() is quite correct. But the switch to vfs_getattr_nosec() revealed another bug when used on stacking filesystems: __fput() -> ima_file_free() -> vfs_getattr_nosec() -> i_op->getattr::ovl_getattr() -> vfs_getattr() -> i_op->getattr::$WHATEVER_UNDERLYING_FS_getattr() -> security_inode_getattr() # calls back into LSMs Now, if that __fput() happens from task_work_run() of an exiting task current->fs and various other pointer could already be NULL. So anything in the LSM layer relying on that not being NULL would be quite surprised. Fix that by passing the information that this is a security request through to the stacking filesystem by adding a new internal ATT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag. Now the callchain becomes: __fput() -> ima_file_free() -> vfs_getattr_nosec() -> i_op->getattr::ovl_getattr() -> if (AT_GETATTR_NOSEC) vfs_getattr_nosec() else vfs_getattr() -> i_op->getattr::$WHATEVER_UNDERLYING_FS_getattr() - Fix a bug introduced with the iov_iter rework from last cycle. This broke /proc/kcore by copying too much and without the correct offset. - Add a missing NULL check when allocating the root inode in autofs_fill_super(). - Fix stable writes for multi-device filesystems (xfs, btrfs etc) and the block device pseudo filesystem. Stable writes used to be a superblock flag only, making it a per filesystem property. Add an additional AS_STABLE_WRITES mapping flag to allow for fine-grained control. - Ensure that offset_iterate_dir() returns 0 after reaching the end of a directory so it adheres to getdents() convention. * tag 'vfs-6.7-rc3.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: libfs: getdents() should return 0 after reaching EOD xfs: respect the stable writes flag on the RT device xfs: clean up FS_XFLAG_REALTIME handling in xfs_ioctl_setattr_xflags block: update the stable_writes flag in bdev_add filemap: add a per-mapping stable writes flag autofs: add: new_inode check in autofs_fill_super() iov_iter: fix copy_page_to_iter_nofault() fs: Pass AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to getattr interface function
