This patch adds basic support for FUSE_HANDLE_KILLPRIV_V2. virtiofsd
can enable/disable this by specifying option "-o killpriv_v2/no_killpriv_v2".
By default this is enabled as long as client supports it
Enabling this option helps with performance in write path. Without this
option, currently every write is first preceeded with a getxattr() operation
to find out if security.capability is set. (Write is supposed to clear
security.capability). With this option enabled, server is signing up for
clearing security.capability on every WRITE and also clearing suid/sgid
subject to certain rules. This gets rid of extra getxattr() call for every
WRITE and improves performance. This is true when virtiofsd is run with
option -o xattr.
What does enabling FUSE_HANDLE_KILLPRIV_V2 mean for file server implementation.
It needs to adhere to following rules. Thanks to Miklos for this summary.
- clear "security.capability" on write, truncate and chown unconditionally
- clear suid/sgid in case of following. Note, sgid is cleared only if
group executable bit is set.
o setattr has FATTR_SIZE and FATTR_KILL_SUIDGID set.
o setattr has FATTR_UID or FATTR_GID
o open has O_TRUNC and FUSE_OPEN_KILL_SUIDGID
o create has O_TRUNC and FUSE_OPEN_KILL_SUIDGID flag set.
o write has FUSE_WRITE_KILL_SUIDGID
>From Linux VFS client perspective, here are the requirements.
- caps are always cleared on chown/write/truncate
- suid is always cleared on chown, while for truncate/write it is cleared
only if caller does not have CAP_FSETID.
- sgid is always cleared on chown, while for truncate/write it is cleared
only if caller does not have CAP_FSETID as well as file has group execute
permission.
virtiofsd implementation has not changed much to adhere to above ruls. And
reason being that current assumption is that we are running on Linux
and on top of filesystems like ext4/xfs which already follow above rules.
On write, truncate, chown, seucurity.capability is cleared. And virtiofsd
drops CAP_FSETID if need be and that will lead to clearing of suid/sgid.
But if virtiofsd is running on top a filesystem which breaks above assumptions,
then it will have to take extra actions to emulate above. That's a TODO
for later when need arises.
Note: create normally is supposed to be called only when file does not
exist. So generally there should not be any question of clearing
setuid/setgid. But it is possible that after client checks that
file is not present, some other client creates file on server
and this race can trigger sending FUSE_CREATE. In that case, if
O_TRUNC is set, we should clear suid/sgid if FUSE_OPEN_KILL_SUIDGID
is also set.
v3:
- Resolved conflicts due to lo_inode_open() changes.
- Moved capability code in lo_do_open() so that both lo_open() and
lo_create() can benefit from common code.
- Dropped changes to kernel headers as these are part of qemu already.
