2025-12-15fsnotify: do not generate ACCESS/MODIFY events on child for special filesAmir Goldstein
inotify/fanotify do not allow users with no read access to a file to subscribe to events (e.g. IN_ACCESS/IN_MODIFY), but they do allow the same user to subscribe for watching events on children when the user has access to the parent directory (e.g. /dev). Users with no read access to a file but with read access to its parent directory can still stat the file and see if it was accessed/modified via atime/mtime change. The same is not true for special files (e.g. /dev/null). Users will not generally observe atime/mtime changes when other users read/write to special files, only when someone sets atime/mtime via utimensat(). Align fsnotify events with this stat behavior and do not generate ACCESS/MODIFY events to parent watchers on read/write of special files. The events are still generated to parent watchers on utimensat(). This closes some side-channels that could be possibly used for information exfiltration [1].

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner: "This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install() that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires cumbersome cleanup paths. FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately: fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device)); if (fd < 0) vfio_device_put_registration(device); return fd; FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or additional work before publishing: FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file->file); if (fdf.err) { fput(sync_file->file); return fdf.err; } data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf); if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &data, sizeof(data))) return -EFAULT; return fd_publish(fdf); The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE() encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called, both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller. I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure" * tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.fd_prepare.fs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (42 commits) io_uring: convert io_create_mock_file() to FD_PREPARE() file: convert replace_fd() to FD_PREPARE() vfio: convert vfio_group_ioctl_get_device_fd() to FD_ADD() tty: convert ptm_open_peer() to FD_ADD() ntsync: convert ntsync_obj_get_fd() to FD_PREPARE() media: convert media_request_alloc() to FD_PREPARE() hv: convert mshv_ioctl_create_partition() to FD_ADD() gpio: convert linehandle_create() to FD_PREPARE() pseries: port papr_rtas_setup_file_interface() to FD_ADD() pseries: convert papr_platform_dump_create_handle() to FD_ADD() spufs: convert spufs_gang_open() to FD_PREPARE() papr-hvpipe: convert papr_hvpipe_dev_create_handle() to FD_PREPARE() spufs: convert spufs_context_open() to FD_PREPARE() net/socket: convert __sys_accept4_file() to FD_ADD() net/socket: convert sock_map_fd() to FD_ADD() net/kcm: convert kcm_ioctl() to FD_PREPARE() net/handshake: convert handshake_nl_accept_doit() to FD_PREPARE() secretmem: convert memfd_secret() to FD_ADD() memfd: convert memfd_create() to FD_ADD() bpf: convert bpf_token_create() to FD_PREPARE() ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs workqueue updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains various workqueue changes affecting the filesystem layer. Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This replaces the use of system_wq and system_unbound_wq. system_wq is a per-CPU workqueue which isn't very obvious from the name and system_unbound_wq is to be used when locality is not required. So this renames system_wq to system_percpu_wq, and system_unbound_wq to system_dfl_wq. This also adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to allow the fs subsystem users to explicitly request the use of per-CPU behavior. Both WQ_UNBOUND and WQ_PERCPU flags coexist for one release cycle to allow callers to transition their calls.

2025-09-19fs: replace use of system_unbound_wq with system_dfl_wqMarco Crivellari
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. system_unbound_wq should be the default workqueue so as not to enforce locality constraints for random work whenever it's not required. Adding system_dfl_wq to encourage its use when unbound work should be used. The old system_unbound_wq will be kept for a few release cycles.

2025-09-11fanotify: add watchdog for permission eventsMiklos Szeredi
This is to make it easier to debug issues with AV software, which time and again deadlocks with no indication of where the issue comes from, and the kernel being blamed for the deadlock. Then we need to analyze dumps to prove that the kernel is not in fact at fault. The deadlock comes from recursion: handling the event triggers another permission event, in some roundabout way, obviously, otherwise it would have been found in testing. With this patch a warning is printed when permission event is received by userspace but not answered for more than the timeout specified in /proc/sys/fs/fanotify/watchdog_timeout. The watchdog can be turned off by setting the timeout to zero (which is the default). The timeout is very coarse (T <= t < 2T) but I guess it's good enough for the purpose. Overhead should be minimal.

2025-09-05fanotify: Validate the return value of mnt_ns_from_dentry() before dereferencingAnderson Nascimento
The function do_fanotify_mark() does not validate if mnt_ns_from_dentry() returns NULL before dereferencing mntns->user_ns. This causes a NULL pointer dereference in do_fanotify_mark() if the path is not a mount namespace object. Fix this by checking mnt_ns_from_dentry()'s return value before dereferencing it.

2025-07-28fsnotify: optimize FMODE_NONOTIFY_PERM for the common casesAmir Goldstein
The most unlikely watched permission event is FAN_ACCESS_PERM, because at the time that it was introduced there were no evictable ignore mark, so subscribing to FAN_ACCESS_PERM would have incured a very high overhead. Yet, when we set the fmode to FMODE_NOTIFY_HSM(), we never skip trying to send FAN_ACCESS_PERM, which is almost always a waste of cycles. We got to this logic because of bundling FAN_OPEN*_PERM and FAN_ACCESS_PERM in the same category and because FAN_OPEN_PERM is a commonly used event. By open coding fsnotify_open_perm() in fsnotify_open_perm_and_set_mode(), we no longer need to regard FAN_OPEN*_PERM when calculating fmode. This leaves the case of having pre-content events and not having any other permission event in the object masks a more likely case than the other way around. Rework the fmode macros and code so that their meaning now refers only to hooks on an already open file: - FMODE_NOTIFY_NONE() skip all events - FMODE_NOTIFY_ACCESS_PERM() send all permission events including FAN_ACCESS_PERM - FMODE_NOTIFY_HSM() send pre-content permission events Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250708143641.418603-3-amir73il@gmail.com

2025-05-14fanotify: Drop use of flex array in fanotify_fhJan Kara
We use flex array 'buf' in fanotify_fh to contain the file handle content. However the buffer is not a proper flex array. It has a preconfigured fixed size. Furthermore if fixed size is not big enough, we use external separately allocated buffer. Hence don't pretend buf is a flex array since we have to use special accessors anyway and instead just modify the accessors to do the pointer math without flex array. This fixes warnings that flex array is not the last struct member in fanotify_fid_event or fanotify_error_event.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner: - Mount notifications The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with fanotify to listen for mount topology changes. Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are generated. The generated notification record contains the unique mount id of the mount. The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed information about the mount using the received unique mount id. This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo in userspace. - Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount api - Support detached mounts in overlayfs Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means userspace cannot user file descriptors received via open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first. This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount(). Allow them to directly use detached mounts. - Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which allows to read the idmapping from the mount. - Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any way. The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation for userspace. - Add a way to query statmount() for supported options Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved through statmount(). - Allow superblock owners to force unmount * tag 'vfs-6.15-rc1.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (21 commits) umount: Allow superblock owners to force umount selftests: add tests for mount notification selinux: add FILE__WATCH_MOUNTNS samples/vfs: fix printf format string for size_t fs: allow changing idmappings fs: add kflags member to struct mount_kattr fs: add open_tree_attr() fs: add copy_mount_setattr() helper fs: add vfs_open_tree() helper statmount: add a new supported_mask field samples/vfs: add STATMOUNT_MNT_{G,U}IDMAP selftests: add tests for using detached mount with overlayfs samples/vfs: check whether flag was raised statmount: allow to retrieve idmappings uidgid: add map_id_range_up() fs: allow detached mounts in clone_private_mount() selftests/overlayfs: test specifying layers as O_PATH file descriptors fs: support O_PATH fds with FSCONFIG_SET_FD vfs: add notifications for mount attach and detach fanotify: notify on mount attach and detach ...

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net, drivers/inifiniband dirs).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs Pull fsnotify pre-content notification support from Jan Kara: "This introduces a new fsnotify event (FS_PRE_ACCESS) that gets generated before a file contents is accessed. The event is synchronous so if there is listener for this event, the kernel waits for reply. On success the execution continues as usual, on failure we propagate the error to userspace. This allows userspace to fill in file content on demand from slow storage. The context in which the events are generated has been picked so that we don't hold any locks and thus there's no risk of a deadlock for the userspace handler. The new pre-content event is available only for users with global CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (similarly to other parts of fanotify functionality) and it is an administrator responsibility to make sure the userspace event handler doesn't do stupid stuff that can DoS the system. Based on your feedback from the last submission, fsnotify code has been improved and now file->f_mode encodes whether pre-content event needs to be generated for the file so the fast path when nobody wants pre-content event for the file just grows the additional file->f_mode check. As a bonus this also removes the checks whether the old FS_ACCESS event needs to be generated from the fast path. Also the place where the event is generated during page fault has been moved so now filemap_fault() generates the event if and only if there is no uptodate folio in the page cache.

2024-12-19fs: relax assertions on failure to encode file handlesAmir Goldstein
Encoding file handles is usually performed by a filesystem >encode_fh() method that may fail for various reasons. The legacy users of exportfs_encode_fh(), namely, nfsd and name_to_handle_at(2) syscall are ready to cope with the possibility of failure to encode a file handle. There are a few other users of exportfs_encode_{fh,fid}() that currently have a WARN_ON() assertion when ->encode_fh() fails. Relax those assertions because they are wrong. The second linked bug report states commit 16aac5ad1fa9 ("ovl: support encoding non-decodable file handles") in v6.6 as the regressing commit, but this is not accurate. The aforementioned commit only increases the chances of the assertion and allows triggering the assertion with the reproducer using overlayfs, inotify and drop_caches. Triggering this assertion was always possible with other filesystems and other reasons of ->encode_fh() failures and more particularly, it was also possible with the exact same reproducer using overlayfs that is mounted with options index=on,nfs_export=on also on kernels < v6.6. Therefore, I am not listing the aforementioned commit as a Fixes commit. Backport hint: this patch will have a trivial conflict applying to v6.6.y, and other trivial conflicts applying to stable kernels < v6.6.

2024-12-10fanotify: allow to set errno in FAN_DENY permission responseAmir Goldstein
With FAN_DENY response, user trying to perform the filesystem operation gets an error with errno set to EPERM. It is useful for hierarchical storage management (HSM) service to be able to deny access for reasons more diverse than EPERM, for example EAGAIN, if HSM could retry the operation later. Allow fanotify groups with priority FAN_CLASSS_PRE_CONTENT to responsd to permission events with the response value FAN_DENY_ERRNO(errno), instead of FAN_DENY to return a custom error. Limit custom error values to errors expected on read(2)/write(2) and open(2) of regular files. This list could be extended in the future. Userspace can test for legitimate values of FAN_DENY_ERRNO(errno) by writing a response to an fanotify group fd with a value of FAN_NOFD in the fd field of the response. The change in fanotify_response is backward compatible, because errno is written in the high 8 bits of the 32bit response field and old kernels reject respose value with high bits set.

2024-12-10fsnotify: introduce pre-content permission eventsAmir Goldstein
The new FS_PRE_ACCESS permission event is similar to FS_ACCESS_PERM, but it meant for a different use case of filling file content before access to a file range, so it has slightly different semantics. Generate FS_PRE_ACCESS/FS_ACCESS_PERM as two seperate events, so content scanners could inspect the content filled by pre-content event handler. Unlike FS_ACCESS_PERM, FS_PRE_ACCESS is also called before a file is modified by syscalls as write() and fallocate(). FS_ACCESS_PERM is reported also on blockdev and pipes, but the new pre-content events are only reported for regular files and dirs. The pre-content events are meant to be used by hierarchical storage managers that want to fill the content of files on first access. There are some specific requirements from filesystems that could be used with pre-content events, so add a flag for fs to opt-in for pre-content events explicitly before they can be used.

So far, we set FMODE_NONOTIFY_ flags at open time if we know that there are no permission event watchers at all on the filesystem, but lack of FMODE_NONOTIFY_ flags does not mean that the file is actually watched.

2024-12-10fsnotify: opt-in for permission events at file open timeAmir Goldstein
Legacy inotify/fanotify listeners can add watches for events on inode, parent or mount and expect to get events (e.g. FS_MODIFY) on files that were already open at the time of setting up the watches. fanotify permission events are typically used by Anti-malware sofware, that is watching the entire mount and it is not common to have more that one Anti-malware engine installed on a system. To reduce the overhead of the fsnotify_file_perm() hooks on every file access, relax the semantics of the legacy FAN_ACCESS_PERM event to generate events only if there were *any* permission event listeners on the filesystem at the time that the file was opened. The new semantic is implemented by extending the FMODE_NONOTIFY bit into two FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits, that are used to store a mode for which of the events types to report. This is going to apply to the new fanotify pre-content events in order to reduce the cost of the new pre-content event vfs hooks.

2024-11-18fsnotify: Fix ordering of iput() and watched_objects decrementJann Horn
Ensure the superblock is kept alive until we're done with iput(). Holding a reference to an inode is not allowed unless we ensure the superblock stays alive, which fsnotify does by keeping the watched_objects count elevated, so iput() must happen before the watched_objects decrement. This can lead to a UAF of something like sb->s_fs_info in tmpfs, but the UAF is hard to hit because race orderings that oops are more likely, thanks to the CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() block in generic_shutdown_super(). Also, ensure that fsnotify_put_sb_watched_objects() doesn't call fsnotify_sb_watched_objects() on a superblock that may have already been freed, which would cause a UAF read of sb->s_fsnotify_info.

2024-11-13fsnotify: fix sending inotify event with unexpected filenameAmir Goldstein
We got a report that adding a fanotify filsystem watch prevents tail -f from receiving events. Reproducer: 1. Create 3 windows / login sessions. Become root in each session. 2. Choose a mounted filesystem that is pretty quiet; I picked /boot. 3. In the first window, run: fsnotifywait -S -m /boot 4. In the second window, run: echo data >> /boot/foo 5. In the third window, run: tail -f /boot/foo 6. Go back to the second window and run: echo more data >> /boot/foo 7. Observe that the tail command doesn't show the new data. 8. In the first window, hit control-C to interrupt fsnotifywait. 9. In the second window, run: echo still more data >> /boot/foo 10. Observe that the tail command in the third window has now printed the missing data. When stracing tail, we observed that when fanotify filesystem mark is set, tail does get the inotify event, but the event is receieved with the filename: read(4, "\1\0\0\0\2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\20\0\0\0foo\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 50) = 32 This is unexpected, because tail is watching the file itself and not its parent and is inconsistent with the inotify event received by tail when fanotify filesystem mark is not set: read(4, "\1\0\0\0\2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 50) = 16 The inteference between different fsnotify groups was caused by the fact that the mark on the sb requires the filename, so the filename is passed to fsnotify(). Later on, fsnotify_handle_event() tries to take care of not passing the filename to groups (such as inotify) that are interested in the filename only when the parent is watching. But the logic was incorrect for the case that no group is watching the parent, some groups are watching the sb and some watching the inode.
