Specifically, this means that as long as there is at least one binary type registered the binfmt_misc filesystem survives all umounts, i.e. the superblock is not destroyed. Meaning that a umount followed by another mount will end up with the same superblock and the same binary type handlers. This is a behavior we tend to discourage for any new filesystems (apart from a few special filesystems such as e.g. configfs or debugfs). A umount operation without the filesystem being pinned - by e.g. someone holding a file descriptor to an open file - should usually result in the destruction of the superblock and all associated resources. This makes introspection easier and leads to clearly defined, simple and clean semantics. An administrator can rely on the fact that a umount will guarantee a clean slate making it possible to reinitialize a filesystem. Right now all binary types would need to be explicitly deleted before that can happen. This allows us to remove the heavy-handed calls to simple_pin_fs() and simple_release_fs() when creating and deleting binary types. This in turn allows us to replace the current brittle pinning mechanism abusing dget() which has caused a range of bugs judging from prior fixes in [2] and [3]. The additional dget() in load_misc_binary() pins the dentry but only does so for the sake to prevent ->evict_inode() from freeing the node when a user removes the binary type and kill_node() is run. Which would mean ->interpreter and ->interp_file would be freed causing a UAF. This isn't really nicely documented nor is it very clean because it relies on simple_pin_fs() pinning the filesystem as long as at least one binary type exists. Otherwise it would cause load_misc_binary() to hold on to a dentry belonging to a superblock that has been shutdown. Replace that implicit pinning with a clean and simple per-node refcount and get rid of the ugly dget() pinning. A similar mechanism exists for e.g. binderfs (cf. [4]). All the cleanup work can now be done in ->evict_inode(). In a follow-up patch we will make it possible to use binfmt_misc in sandboxes. We will use the cleaner semantics where a umount for the filesystem will cause the superblock and all resources to be deallocated. In preparation for this apply the same semantics to the initial binfmt_misc mount. Note, that this is a user-visible change and as such a uapi change but one that we can reasonably risk. We've discussed this in earlier versions of this patchset (cf. [1]). The main user and provider of binfmt_misc is systemd. Systemd provides binfmt_misc via autofs since it is configurable as a kernel module and is used by a few exotic packages and users. As such a binfmt_misc mount is triggered when /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc is accessed and is only provided on demand. Other autofs on demand filesystems include EFI ESP which systemd umounts if the mountpoint stays idle for a certain amount of time. This doesn't apply to the binfmt_misc autofs mount which isn't touched once it is mounted meaning this change can't accidently wipe binary type handlers without someone having explicitly unmounted binfmt_misc. After speaking to systemd folks they don't expect this change to affect them. In line with our general policy, if we see a regression for systemd or other users with this change we will switch back to the old behavior for the initial binfmt_misc mount and have binary types pin the filesystem again. But while we touch this code let's take the chance and let's improve on the status quo.

That includes removal of the relevant entries from entry list. While that works fine I disliked that model after thinking about it for a bit. Because it means that there was a window were someone has already removed a or all binary handlers but they could still be safely reached from load_misc_binary() when it has managed to take the read_lock() on the entries list while inode eviction was already happening. Again, that perfectly benign but it's cleaner to remove the binary handler from the list immediately meaning that ones the write to then entry's file or the binfmt_misc status file returns the binary type cannot be executed anymore. That gives stronger guarantees to the user. --- fs/binfmt_misc.c | 213 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 165 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-) base-commit: d58071a8a76d779eedab38033ae4c821c30295a5 diff --git a/fs/binfmt_misc.c b/fs/binfmt_misc.c index e1eae7ea823a..3fd99a20694b 100644 --- a/fs/binfmt_misc.c +++ b/fs/binfmt_misc.c @@ -60,12 +60,11 @@ typedef struct { char *name; struct dentry *dentry; struct file *interp_file; + refcount_t users; /* sync removal with load_misc_binary() */ } Node; static DEFINE_RWLOCK(entries_lock); static struct file_system_type bm_fs_type; -static struct vfsmount *bm_mnt; -static int entry_count; /* * Max length of the register string.
