This is a seriously simplified patch from Eric Sandeen; copy of
rationale follows:
===
mounting stacked ecryptfs on ecryptfs has been shown to lead to bugs
in testing. For crypto info in xattr, there is no mechanism for handling
this at all, and for normal file headers, we run into other trouble:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
IP: [<ffffffffa015b0b3>] ecryptfs_d_revalidate+0x43/0xa0 [ecryptfs]
...
There doesn't seem to be any good usecase for this, so I'd suggest just
disallowing the configuration.
Based on a patch originally, I believe, from Mike Halcrow.

Now that the last user passing a NULL file pointer is gone we can remove
the redundant dentry argument and associated hacks inside vfs_fsynmc_range.
The next step will be removig the dentry argument from ->fsync, but given
the luck with the last round of method prototype changes I'd rather
defer this until after the main merge window.

First of all, get_sb_nodev() grabs anon dev minor and we
never free it in ecryptfs ->kill_sb(). Moreover, on one
of the failure exits in ecryptfs_get_sb() we leak things -
it happens before we set ->s_root and ->put_super() won't
be called in that case. Solution: kill ->put_super(), do
all that stuff in ->kill_sb(). And use kill_anon_sb() instead
of generic_shutdown_super() to deal with anon dev leak.

The timestamps and size of a lower inode involved in a link() call was
being copied to the upper parent inode. Instead, we should be
copying lower parent inode's timestamps and size to the upper parent
inode. I discovered this bug using the POSIX test suite at Tuxera.

Since tmpfs has no persistent storage, it pins all its dentries in memory
so they have d_count=1 when other file systems would have d_count=0.
->lookup is only used to create new dentries. If the caller doesn't
instantiate it, it's freed immediately at dput(). ->readdir reads
directly from the dcache and depends on the dentries being hashed.
When an ecryptfs mount is mounted, it associates the lower file and dentry
with the ecryptfs files as they're accessed. When it's umounted and
destroys all the in-memory ecryptfs inodes, it fput's the lower_files and
d_drop's the lower_dentries. Commit 4981e081 added this and a d_delete in
2008 and several months later commit caeeeecf removed the d_delete. I
believe the d_drop() needs to be removed as well.
The d_drop effectively hides any file that has been accessed via ecryptfs
from the underlying tmpfs since it depends on it being hashed for it to
be accessible. I've removed the d_drop on my development node and see no
ill effects with basic testing on both tmpfs and persistent storage.
As a side effect, after ecryptfs d_drops the dentries on tmpfs, tmpfs
BUGs on umount. This is due to the dentries being unhashed.
tmpfs->kill_sb is kill_litter_super which calls d_genocide to drop
the reference pinning the dentry. It skips unhashed and negative dentries,
but shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree doesn't. Since those dentries
still have an elevated d_count, we get a BUG().
This patch removes the d_drop call and fixes both issues.

Create a getattr handler for eCryptfs symlinks that is capable of
reading the lower target and decrypting its path. Prior to this patch,
a stat's st_size field would represent the strlen of the encrypted path,
while readlink() would return the strlen of the decrypted path. This
could lead to confusion in some userspace applications, since the two

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The ecryptfs_encrypted_view mount option provides a unified way of
viewing encrypted eCryptfs files. If the metadata is stored in a xattr,
the metadata is moved to the file header when the file is read inside
the eCryptfs mount. Because of this, we should strip the
ECRYPTFS_METADATA_IN_XATTR flag from the header's flag section. This
allows eCryptfs to treat the file as an eCryptfs file with a header
at the front.

We initially read in the first PAGE_CACHE_SIZE of a file to if the
eCryptfs header marker can be found. If it isn't found and
ecryptfs_xattr_metadata was given as a mount option, then the
user.ecryptfs xattr is read into the same buffer. Since the data from
the first page of the file wasn't cleared, it is possible that we think
we've found a second tag 3 or tag 1 packet and then error out after the
packet contents aren't as expected. This patch clears the buffer before
filling it with metadata from the user.ecryptfs xattr.

Fixes regression in 8faece5f90
When using the ecryptfs_xattr_metadata mount option, eCryptfs stores the
metadata (normally stored at the front of the file) in the user.ecryptfs
xattr. This causes ecryptfs_crypt_stat.num_header_bytes_at_front to be
0, since there is no header data at the front of the file. This results
in too much memory being requested and ENOMEM being returned from
ecryptfs_write_metadata().
This patch fixes the problem by using the num_header_bytes_at_front
variable for specifying the max size of the metadata, despite whether it
is stored in the header or xattr.

The i_blocks field of an eCryptfs inode cannot be trusted, but
generic_fillattr() uses it to instantiate the blocks field of a stat()
syscall when a filesystem doesn't implement its own getattr(). Users
have noticed that the output of du is incorrect on newly created files.
This patch creates ecryptfs_getattr() which calls into the lower
filesystem's getattr() so that eCryptfs can use its kstat.blocks value
after calling generic_fillattr(). It is important to note that the
block count includes the eCryptfs metadata stored in the beginning of
the lower file plus any padding used to fill an extent before
encryption.

When truncating inodes in the lower filesystem, eCryptfs directly
invoked vmtruncate(). As Christoph Hellwig pointed out, vmtruncate() is
a filesystem helper function, but filesystems may need to do more than
just a call to vmtruncate().
This patch moves the lower inode truncation out of ecryptfs_truncate()
and renames the function to truncate_upper(). truncate_upper() updates
an iattr for the lower inode to indicate if the lower inode needs to be
truncated upon return. ecryptfs_setattr() then calls notify_change(),
using the updated iattr for the lower inode, to complete the truncation.
For eCryptfs functions needing to truncate, ecryptfs_truncate() is
reintroduced as a simple way to truncate the upper inode to a specified
size and then truncate the lower inode accordingly.

So, I compiled a 2.6.31-rc5 kernel with ecryptfs and loaded its module.
When it came time to mount my filesystem, I got this in dmesg, and it
refused to mount:
[93577.776637] Unable to allocate crypto cipher with name [aes]; rc = [-2]
[93577.783280] Error attempting to initialize key TFM cipher with name = [aes]; rc = [-2]

[93577.800113] Error parsing options; rc = [-22]
I figured from the error message that I'd either forgotten to load "aes"
or that my key size was bogus. Neither one of those was the case. In
fact, I was missing the CRYPTO_ECB config option and the 'ecb' module.
Unfortunately, there's no trace of 'ecb' in that error message.
I've done two things to fix this. First, I've modified ecryptfs's
Kconfig entry to select CRYPTO_ECB and CRYPTO_CBC. I also took CRYPTO
out of the dependencies since the 'select' will take care of it for us.
I've also modified the error messages to print a string that should
contain both 'ecb' and 'aes' in my error case. That will give any
future users a chance of finding the right modules and Kconfig options.
I also wonder if we should:
select CRYPTO_AES if !EMBEDDED
since I think most ecryptfs users are using AES like me.

ie the two mutexes are taken in opposite orders in the two different

actually hit the two paths in parallel and deadlock, but it at least
makes lockdep impossible to use with ecryptfs since this report triggers

Since ecryptfs_add_keysig() is called only from the single callsite in

In ecryptfs_destroy_inode(), inode_info->lower_file_mutex is locked,
and just after the mutex is unlocked, the code does:
kmem_cache_free(ecryptfs_inode_info_cache, inode_info);
This means that if another context could possibly try to take the same
mutex as ecryptfs_destroy_inode(), then it could end up getting the
mutex just before the data structure containing the mutex is freed.
So any such use would be an obvious use-after-free bug (catchable with
slab poisoning or mutex debugging), and therefore the locking in
ecryptfs_destroy_inode() is not needed and can be dropped.
Similarly, in ecryptfs_destroy_crypt_stat(), crypt_stat->keysig_list_mutex
is locked, and then the mutex is unlocked just before the code does:
memset(crypt_stat, 0, sizeof(struct ecryptfs_crypt_stat));
Therefore taking this mutex is similarly not necessary.
Removing this locking fixes false-positive lockdep reports such as the
following (and they are false-positives for exactly the same reason
that the locking is not needed):

Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of
filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment. Most
of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.
[AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are
removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()
now]

When using filename encryption with eCryptfs, the value of the symlink
in the lower filesystem is encrypted and stored as a Tag 70 packet.
This results in a longer symlink target than if the target value wasn't
encrypted.
Users were reporting these messages in their syslog:
[ 45.653441] ecryptfs_parse_tag_70_packet: max_packet_size is [56]; real
packet size is [51]
[ 45.653444] ecryptfs_decode_and_decrypt_filename: Could not parse tag
70 packet from filename; copying through filename as-is
This was due to bufsiz, one the arguments in readlink(), being used to
when allocating the buffer passed to the lower inode's readlink().
That symlink target may be very large, but when decoded and decrypted,
could end up being smaller than bufsize.
To fix this, the buffer passed to the lower inode's readlink() will
always be PATH_MAX in size when filename encryption is enabled. Any
necessary truncation occurs after the decoding and decrypting.

ecryptfs_passthrough is a mount option that allows eCryptfs to allow
data to be written to non-eCryptfs files in the lower filesystem. The
passthrough option was causing data corruption due to it not always
being treated as a non-eCryptfs file.
The first 8 bytes of an eCryptfs file contains the decrypted file size.
This value was being written to the non-eCryptfs files, too. Also,
extra 0x00 characters were being written to make the file size a
multiple of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE.

The filename encryption key signature is not properly displayed in
/proc/mounts. The "ecryptfs_sig=" mount option name is displayed for
all global authentication tokens, included those for filename keys.
This patch checks the global authentication token flags to determine if
the key is a FEKEK or FNEK and prints the appropriate mount option name
before the signature.

If data is NULL, msg_ctx->msg is set to NULL and then dereferenced
afterwards. ecryptfs_send_raw_message() is the only place that
ecryptfs_send_miscdev() is called with data being NULL, but the only
caller of that function (ecryptfs_process_helo()) is never called. In
short, there is currently no way to trigger the NULL pointer
dereference.
This patch removes the two unused functions and modifies
ecryptfs_send_miscdev() to remove the NULL dereferences.

If ecryptfs_encrypted_view or ecryptfs_xattr_metadata were being
specified as mount options, a NULL pointer dereference of crypt_stat
was possible during lookup.
This patch moves the crypt_stat assignment into
ecryptfs_lookup_and_interpose_lower(), ensuring that crypt_stat
will not be NULL before we attempt to dereference it.

When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a
single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page().
However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or
ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is
stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front
field.
ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using
num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to
the lower filesystem for the file header. Unfortunately, at least 8K
was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single,
zeroed page being smaller than 8K. This resulted in random areas of
kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets
in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K.
This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with
num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages
along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents().
Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with
me to find the problem. 2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this

eCryptfs has file encryption keys (FEK), file encryption key encryption
keys (FEKEK), and filename encryption keys (FNEK). The per-file FEK is
encrypted with one or more FEKEKs and stored in the header of the
encrypted file. I noticed that the FEK is also being encrypted by the
FNEK. This is a problem if a user wants to use a different FNEK than
their FEKEK, as their file contents will still be accessible with the
FNEK.
This is a minimalistic patch which prevents the FNEKs signatures from
being copied to the inode signatures list. Ultimately, it keeps the FEK
from being encrypted with a FNEK.

The addition of filename encryption caused a regression in unencrypted
filename symlink support. ecryptfs_copy_filename() is used when dealing
with unencrypted filenames and it reported that the new, copied filename
was a character longer than it should have been.
This caused the return value of readlink() to count the NULL byte of the
symlink target. Most applications don't care about the extra NULL byte,
but a version control system (bzr) helped in discovering the bug.

Enable mount-wide filename encryption by providing the Filename Encryption
Key (FNEK) signature as a mount option. Note that the ecryptfs-utils
userspace package versions 61 or later support this option.
When mounting with ecryptfs-utils version 61 or later, the mount helper
will detect the availability of the passphrase-based filename encryption
in the kernel (via the eCryptfs sysfs handle) and query the user
interactively as to whether or not he wants to enable the feature for the
mount. If the user enables filename encryption, the mount helper will
then prompt for the FNEK signature that the user wishes to use, suggesting
by default the signature for the mount passphrase that the user has
already entered for encrypting the file contents.
When not using the mount helper, the user can specify the signature for
the passphrase key with the ecryptfs_fnek_sig= mount option. This key
must be available in the user's keyring. The mount helper usually takes
care of this step. If, however, the user is not mounting with the mount
helper, then he will need to enter the passphrase key into his keyring
with some other utility prior to mounting, such as ecryptfs-manager.

This patchset implements filename encryption via a passphrase-derived
mount-wide Filename Encryption Key (FNEK) specified as a mount parameter.
Each encrypted filename has a fixed prefix indicating that eCryptfs should
try to decrypt the filename. When eCryptfs encounters this prefix, it
decodes the filename into a tag 70 packet and then decrypts the packet
contents using the FNEK, setting the filename to the decrypted filename.
Both unencrypted and encrypted filenames can reside in the same lower
filesystem.
Because filename encryption expands the length of the filename during the
encoding stage, eCryptfs will not properly handle filenames that are
already near the maximum filename length.
In the present implementation, eCryptfs must be able to produce a match
against the lower encrypted and encoded filename representation when given
a plaintext filename. Therefore, two files having the same plaintext name
will encrypt and encode into the same lower filename if they are both
encrypted using the same FNEK. This can be changed by finding a way to
replace the prepended bytes in the blocked-aligned filename with random
characters; they are hashes of the FNEK right now, so that it is possible
to deterministically map from a plaintext filename to an encrypted and
encoded filename in the lower filesystem. An implementation using random
characters will have to decode and decrypt every single directory entry in
any given directory any time an event occurs wherein the VFS needs to
determine whether a particular file exists in the lower directory and the
decrypted and decoded filenames have not yet been extracted for that
directory.
Thanks to Tyler Hicks and David Kleikamp for assistance in the development
of this patchset.
This patch:
A tag 70 packet contains a filename encrypted with a Filename Encryption
Key (FNEK). This patch implements functions for writing and parsing tag
70 packets. This patch also adds definitions and extends structures to
support filename encryption.

vfs: lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR) race condition
Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call,
and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex. All callers of fsync have
to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get
it right. This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this.
It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file
pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we
want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there.
Notes on the fsync callers:
- ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the
lower file
- coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host
file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing
- shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor
taking i_mutex. Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk
backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of
the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just
not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op
simple_sync_file directly.

We used to have rather schizophrenic set of checks for NULL ->i_op even
though it had been eliminated years ago. You'd need to go out of your

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

The user_ns is moved from nsproxy to user_struct, so that a struct
cred by itself is sufficient to determine access (which it otherwise
would not be). Corresponding ecryptfs fixes (by David Howells) are
here as well.
Fix refcounting. The following rules now apply:
1. The task pins the user struct.
2. The user struct pins its user namespace.
3. The user namespace pins the struct user which created it.
User namespaces are cloned during copy_creds(). Unsharing a new user_ns
is no longer possible. (We could re-add that, but it'll cause code
duplication and doesn't seem useful if PAM doesn't need to clone user
namespaces).
When a user namespace is created, its first user (uid 0) gets empty
keyrings and a clean group_info.
This incorporates a previous patch by David Howells. Here
is his original patch description:
>I suggest adding the attached incremental patch. It makes the following
>changes:
>
> (1) Provides a current_user_ns() macro to wrap accesses to current's user
> namespace.
>
> (2) Fixes eCryptFS.
>
> (3) Renames create_new_userns() to create_user_ns() to be more consistent
> with the other associated functions and because the 'new' in the name is
> superfluous.
>
> (4) Moves the argument and permission checks made for CLONE_NEWUSER to the
> beginning of do_fork() so that they're done prior to making any attempts
> at allocation.
>
> (5) Calls create_user_ns() after prepare_creds(), and gives it the new creds
> to fill in rather than have it return the new root user. I don't imagine
> the new root user being used for anything other than filling in a cred

>
> This also permits me to get rid of a get_uid() and a free_uid(), as the

I have received some reports of out-of-memory errors on some older AMD
architectures. These errors are what I would expect to see if
crypt_stat->key were split between two separate pages. eCryptfs should
not assume that any of the memory sent through virt_to_scatterlist() is
all contained in a single page, and so this patch allocates two
scatterlist structs instead of one when processing keys. I have received
confirmation from one person affected by this bug that this patch resolves
the issue for him, and so I am submitting it for inclusion in a future
stable release.
Note that virt_to_scatterlist() runs sg_init_table() on the scatterlist
structs passed to it, so the calls to sg_init_table() in
decrypt_passphrase_encrypted_session_key() are redundant.

When ecryptfs allocates space to write crypto headers into, before copying
it out to file headers or to xattrs, it looks at the value of
crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front to determine how much space it
needs. This is also used as the file offset to the actual encrypted data,
so for xattr-stored crypto info, the value was zero.
So, we kzalloc'd 0 bytes, and then ran off to write to that memory.
(Which returned as ZERO_SIZE_PTR, so we explode quickly).
The right answer is to always allocate a page to write into; the current
code won't ever write more than that (this is enforced by the
(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - offset) length in the call to
ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set). To be explicit about this, we now send
in a "max" parameter, rather than magically using PAGE_CACHE_SIZE there.
Also, since the pointer we pass down the callchain eventually gets the
virt_to_page() treatment, we should be using a alloc_page variant, not
kzalloc (see also 7fcba05437)

With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption
when testing eCryptfs. The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was
doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice
page-aligned chunk of memory. But at least with SLUB debugging on, this
is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not
necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc.
My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2
different multi-megabyte files. With this change I no longer see the
corruption.
