Commit Message

Miklos Szeredi Oct. 25, 2023, 2:02 p.m. UTC
Add a way to query attributes of a single mount instead of having to parse
the complete /proc/$PID/mountinfo, which might be huge.

Lookup the mount the new 64bit mount ID.  If a mount needs to be queried
based on path, then statx(2) can be used to first query the mount ID
belonging to the path.

Design is based on a suggestion by Linus:

  "So I'd suggest something that is very much like "statfsat()", which gets
   a buffer and a length, and returns an extended "struct statfs" *AND*
   just a string description at the end."

The interface closely mimics that of statx.

Handle ASCII attributes by appending after the end of the structure (as per
above suggestion).  Pointers to strings are stored in u64 members to make
the structure the same regardless of pointer size.  Strings are nul
terminated.

In order to be consistent with our typical access control ordering,
please move the security_sb_statfs() call down to here, after the
capability checks.

I've moved the security_sb_statfs() calls accordingly.

Okay, good.  Did I miss a comment or a patch where that happened?  I
looked over the patchset and comments yesterday and didn't recall
seeing anything about shuffling the access control checks.

Gentle ping on this.  I'm asking because I know there have been issues
lately with the lists and some mail providers and I want to make sure
I'm not missing anything, I double checked lore again and didn't see
anything there either, but I might be missing it.

Sorry, I'm traveling so I just didn't see this. Please see:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs.git/commit/?h=vfs.mount&id=dc14fa93943918bee898d75d7ae72fc3623ce9ce

I've folded the fixup into these patches. I probably just accidently
dropped the diff from my reply.

Okay, no worries, like I said I was mostly worried about mail/list
problems eating the response.

Thanks for fixing the access control ordering, but FWIW I was a little
surprised not to see a note, e.g. "[CB: changed access control
ordering]" or similar, in the metadata.
