commit ba63f23d69a3a10e7e527a02702023da68ef8a6d upstream.
[Please apply to 4.4-stable. Note: this was already backported, but
only to ext4; it was missed that it should go to f2fs as well. This is
needed to make xfstest generic/395 pass on f2fs.]
Since setting an encryption policy requires writing metadata to the
filesystem, it should be guarded by mnt_want_write/mnt_drop_write.
Otherwise, a user could cause a write to a frozen or readonly
filesystem. This was handled correctly by f2fs but not by ext4. Make
fscrypt_process_policy() handle it rather than relying on the filesystem
to get it right.

commit d60b5b7854c3d135b869f74fb93eaf63cbb1991a upstream.
When an fscrypt-encrypted file is opened, we request the file's master
key from the keyrings service as a logon key, then access its payload.
However, a revoked key has a NULL payload, and we failed to check for
this. request_key() *does* skip revoked keys, but there is still a
window where the key can be revoked before we acquire its semaphore.
Fix it by checking for a NULL payload, treating it like a key which was
already revoked at the time it was requested.

commit 6b06cdee81d68a8a829ad8e8d0f31d6836744af9 upstream.
When accessing an encrypted directory without the key, userspace must
operate on filenames derived from the ciphertext names, which contain
arbitrary bytes. Since we must support filenames as long as NAME_MAX,
we can't always just base64-encode the ciphertext, since that may make
it too long. Currently, this is solved by presenting long names in an
abbreviated form containing any needed filesystem-specific hashes (e.g.
to identify a directory block), then the last 16 bytes of ciphertext.
This needs to be sufficient to identify the actual name on lookup.
However, there is a bug. It seems to have been assumed that due to the
use of a CBC (ciphertext block chaining)-based encryption mode, the last
16 bytes (i.e. the AES block size) of ciphertext would depend on the
full plaintext, preventing collisions. However, we actually use CBC
with ciphertext stealing (CTS), which handles the last two blocks
specially, causing them to appear "flipped". Thus, it's actually the
second-to-last block which depends on the full plaintext.
This caused long filenames that differ only near the end of their
plaintexts to, when observed without the key, point to the wrong inode
and be undeletable. For example, with ext4:
# echo pass | e4crypt add_key -p 16 edir/
# seq -f "edir/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz012345%.0f" 100000 | xargs touch
# find edir/ -type f | xargs stat -c %i | sort | uniq | wc -l
100000
# sync
# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
# keyctl new_session
# find edir/ -type f | xargs stat -c %i | sort | uniq | wc -l
2004
# rm -rf edir/
rm: cannot remove 'edir/_A7nNFi3rhkEQlJ6P,hdzluhODKOeWx5V': Structure needs cleaning
...
To fix this, when presenting long encrypted filenames, encode the
second-to-last block of ciphertext rather than the last 16 bytes.
Although it would be nice to solve this without depending on a specific
encryption mode, that would mean doing a cryptographic hash like SHA-256
which would be much less efficient. This way is sufficient for now, and
it's still compatible with encryption modes like HEH which are strong
pseudorandom permutations. Also, changing the presented names is still
allowed at any time because they are only provided to allow applications
to do things like delete encrypted directories. They're not designed to
be used to persistently identify files --- which would be hard to do
anyway, given that they're encrypted after all.
For ease of backports, this patch only makes the minimal fix to both
ext4 and f2fs. It leaves ubifs as-is, since ubifs doesn't compare the
ciphertext block yet. Follow-on patches will clean things up properly
and make the filesystems use a shared helper function.

commit 272f98f6846277378e1758a49a49d7bf39343c02 upstream.
To mitigate some types of offline attacks, filesystem encryption is
designed to enforce that all files in an encrypted directory tree use
the same encryption policy (i.e. the same encryption context excluding
the nonce). However, the fscrypt_has_permitted_context() function which
enforces this relies on comparing struct fscrypt_info's, which are only
available when we have the encryption keys. This can cause two
incorrect behaviors:
1. If we have the parent directory's key but not the child's key, or
vice versa, then fscrypt_has_permitted_context() returned false,
causing applications to see EPERM or ENOKEY. This is incorrect if
the encryption contexts are in fact consistent. Although we'd
normally have either both keys or neither key in that case since the
master_key_descriptors would be the same, this is not guaranteed
because keys can be added or removed from keyrings at any time.
2. If we have neither the parent's key nor the child's key, then
fscrypt_has_permitted_context() returned true, causing applications
to see no error (or else an error for some other reason). This is
incorrect if the encryption contexts are in fact inconsistent, since
in that case we should deny access.
To fix this, retrieve and compare the fscrypt_contexts if we are unable
to set up both fscrypt_infos.
While this slightly hurts performance when accessing an encrypted
directory tree without the key, this isn't a case we really need to be
optimizing for; access *with* the key is much more important.
Furthermore, the performance hit is barely noticeable given that we are
already retrieving the fscrypt_context and doing two keyring searches in
fscrypt_get_encryption_info(). If we ever actually wanted to optimize
this case we might start by caching the fscrypt_contexts.

commit 1b53cf9815bb4744958d41f3795d5d5a1d365e2d upstream.
Filesystem encryption ostensibly supported revoking a keyring key that
had been used to "unlock" encrypted files, causing those files to become
"locked" again. This was, however, buggy for several reasons, the most
severe of which was that when key revocation happened to be detected for
an inode, its fscrypt_info was immediately freed, even while other
threads could be using it for encryption or decryption concurrently.
This could be exploited to crash the kernel or worse.
This patch fixes the use-after-free by removing the code which detects
the keyring key having been revoked, invalidated, or expired. Instead,
an encrypted inode that is "unlocked" now simply remains unlocked until
it is evicted from memory. Note that this is no worse than the case for
block device-level encryption, e.g. dm-crypt, and it still remains
possible for a privileged user to evict unused pages, inodes, and
dentries by running 'sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches', or by
simply unmounting the filesystem. In fact, one of those actions was
already needed anyway for key revocation to work even somewhat sanely.
This change is not expected to break any applications.
In the future I'd like to implement a real API for fscrypt key
revocation that interacts sanely with ongoing filesystem operations ---
waiting for existing operations to complete and blocking new operations,
and invalidating and sanitizing key material and plaintext from the VFS
caches. But this is a hard problem, and for now this bug must be fixed.
This bug affected almost all versions of ext4, f2fs, and ubifs
encryption, and it was potentially reachable in any kernel configured
with encryption support (CONFIG_EXT4_ENCRYPTION=y,
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_ENCRYPTION=y, CONFIG_F2FS_FS_ENCRYPTION=y, or
CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_ENCRYPTION=y). Note that older kernels did not use the
shared fs/crypto/ code, but due to the potential security implications
of this bug, it may still be worthwhile to backport this fix to them.

On an ext4 or f2fs filesystem with file encryption supported, a user
could set an encryption policy on any empty directory(*) to which they
had readonly access. This is obviously problematic, since such a
directory might be owned by another user and the new encryption policy
would prevent that other user from creating files in their own directory
(for example).
Fix this by requiring inode_owner_or_capable() permission to set an
encryption policy. This means that either the caller must own the file,
or the caller must have the capability CAP_FOWNER.

For normal inodes, their pages are allocated with __GFP_FS, which can cause
filesystem calls when reclaiming memory.
This can incur a dead lock condition accordingly.
So, this patch addresses this problem by introducing
f2fs_grab_cache_page(.., bool for_write), which calls
grab_cache_page_write_begin() with AOP_FLAG_NOFS.

The f2fs_collapse_range and f2fs_insert_range changes the block addresses
directly. But that can cause uncovered SSA updates.
In that case, we need to give up to change the block addresses and do buffered
writes to keep filesystem consistency.

The periodic checkpoint can resolve the previous issue.
So, now we can use this again to improve the reported performance regression:

This reverts commit 15bec0ff5a9ba6d203178fa8772259df6207942a.
This patch introduces F2FS_GOING_DOWN_METAFLUSH which flushes meta pages like
SSA blocks and then blocks all the writes.
This can be used by power-failure tests.

This patch introduces a periodic checkpoint feature.
Note that, this is not enforcing to conduct checkpoints very strictly in terms
of trigger timing, instead just hope to help user experiences.
The default value is 60 seconds.

This patch drops in batches gc triggered through ioctl, since user
can easily control the gc by designing the loop around the ->ioctl.
We support synchronous gc by forcing using FG_GC in f2fs_gc, so with
it, user can make sure that in this round all blocks gced were
persistent in the device until ioctl returned.
