There are a two things that need consideration: * The current access control enforces the SELinux io_uring/cmd permission on all io_uring command passthrough operations, that would need to be preserved using something we call "policy capabilities". The quick summary is that policy capabilities are a way for the SELinux policy to signal to the kernel that it is aware of a breaking change and the policy is written to take this change into account; when the kernel loads this newly capable policy it sets a flag which triggers a different behavior in the kernel. A simple example can be found in selinux_file_ioctl(FIONCLEX)/selinux_policycap_ioctl_skip_cloexec(), but we can talk more about this later if/when we resolve the other issue. * As we discussed previously, the real problem is the fact that we are missing the necessary context in the LSM hook to separate the different types of command targets. With traditional ioctls we can look at the ioctl number and determine both the type of device/subsystem/etc. as well as the operation being requested; there is no such information available with the io_uring command passthrough. In this sense, the io_uring command passthrough is actually worse than traditional ioctls from an access control perspective. Until we have an easy(ish)[1] way to determine the io_uring command target type, changes like the one suggested here are going to be doomed as each target type is free to define their own io_uring commands. [1] Yes, one could theoretically make some determination of the target type by inspecting io_uring_cmd::file::f_op (or similar), but checking file_operations' function pointers is both a pretty awful layering violation and downright ugly; I don't want to have to maintain that long-term in a LSM. -- paul-moore.com

I also see that this is the case. Since the io_uring command does not have a predefined structure another solution for the non ioctl io_uring commands needs to be found. > Although we defined new nvme opcodes to be used with uring-cmd, it is > also possible that some other provider decides to work with existing > ioctl-opcode packaged inside uring-cmd and turns it async.

Passing a function pointer to the LSM to fetch, what will likely be just a constant value, seems kinda ugly, but I guess we only have ugly options at this point. I imagine we could cache the result in the inode's security blob, assuming the device type remained constant (I can't think of why it would change); still ugly but at least it doesn't require multiple indirect calls. It's probably worth throwing together a quick patch so we can discuss this further. -- paul-moore.com

I am not sure if this helps yet, but queued on modules-next we now have an improvement in speed of about 1500x for kallsyms_lookup_name(), and so symbol lookups are now fast. Makes me wonder if a type of special export could be drawn up for specific calls which follow a structure and so the respective lsm could be inferred by a prefix instead of placing the calls in-place. Then it would not mattter where a call is used, so long as it would follow a specific pattern / structure with all the crap you need on it. Luis

I suspect we may be talking about different things here, I don't think the issue is which LSM(s) may be enabled, as the call is to security_uring_cmd() regardless. I believe the issue is more of how do the LSMs determine the target of the io_uring command, e.g. nvme or ublk. My understanding is that Joel was suggesting a change to the LSM hook to add a function specific pointer (presumably defined as part of the file_operations struct) that could be called by the LSM to determine the target. Although now that I'm looking again at the file_operations struct, I wonder if we would be better off having the LSMs inspect the file_operations::owner field, potentially checking the module::name field. It's a little painful in the sense that it is potentially multiple strcmp() calls for each security_uring_cmd() call, but I'm not sure the passed function approach would be much better. Do we have a consistent per-module scalar value we can use instead of a character string? -- paul-moore.com

Thx for putting this in the foreground. This problems CAN be seen as two: 1. Knowing where the io_uring is coming from (user, file, drivers...) 2. Calling the appropriate callback (ublk callback or nvme callback...) In this sense we might be able to use kallsysms_lookup_name() to do the callback to a relevant driver. I have posted a version 2 of the RFC without using kallsysms_lookup_name, but I'll keep it in the back of my mind. Best > > Luis

In future there may be more uring_cmd kernel users, maybe we need to consider to use one reserved field in io_uring_sqe for describing the target type if it is one must for security subsystem, and this way will be similar with traditional ioctl which encodes this kind of info in command type.

This is of course another option. I was a bit reluctant to start the discussion with this implementation, but now that you have brought it up I can come up with an initial RFC and we can add it to the mix of possibilities. Would you just add it to the end of the struct? or what reserved field are you referring to? > > > Thanks, > Ming >
