nvme: make NVME_RDMA depend on BLOCK

2016-09-11T21:41:49+00:00

Commit aa71987472a9 ("nvme: fabrics drivers don't need the nvme-pci driver") removed the dependency on BLK_DEV_NVME, but the cdoe does depend on the block layer (which used to be an implicit dependency through BLK_DEV_NVME). Otherwise you get various errors from the kbuild test robot random config testing when that happens to hit a configuration with BLOCK device support disabled.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams: "nvdimm fixes for v4.8, two of them are tagged for -stable: - Fix devm_memremap_pages() to use track_pfn_insert(). Otherwise, DAX pmd mappings end up with an uncached pgprot, and unusable performance for the device-dax interface. The device-dax interface appeared in 4.7 so this is tagged for -stable. - Fix a couple VM_BUG_ON() checks in the show_smaps() path to understand DAX pmd entries. This fix is tagged for -stable. - Fix a mis-merge of the nfit machine-check handler to flip the polarity of an if() to match the final version of the patch that Vishal sent for 4.8-rc1. Without this the nfit machine check handler never detects / inserts new 'badblocks' entries which applications use to identify lost portions of files. - For test purposes, fix the nvdimm_clear_poison() path to operate on legacy / simulated nvdimm memory ranges. Without this fix a test can set badblocks, but never clear them on these ranges. - Fix the range checking done by dax_dev_pmd_fault(). This is not tagged for -stable since this problem is mitigated by specifying aligned resources at device-dax setup time. These patches have appeared in a next release over the past week. The recent rebase you can see in the timestamps was to drop an invalid fix as identified by the updated device-dax unit tests [1].

fscrypto: require write access to mount to set encryption policy

2016-09-10T05:18:57+00:00

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.

fscrypto: only allow setting encryption policy on directories

2016-09-10T03:38:12+00:00

The FS_IOC_SET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY ioctl allowed setting an encryption policy on nondirectory files. This was unintentional, and in the case of nonempty regular files did not behave as expected because existing data was not actually encrypted by the ioctl. In the case of ext4, the user could also trigger filesystem errors in ->empty_dir(), e.g. due to mismatched "directory" checksums when the kernel incorrectly tried to interpret a regular file as a directory. This bug affected ext4 with kernels v4.8-rc1 or later and f2fs with kernels v4.6 and later. It appears that older kernels only permitted directories and that the check was accidentally lost during the refactoring to share the file encryption code between ext4 and f2fs. This patch restores the !S_ISDIR() check that was present in older kernels. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

fscrypto: add authorization check for setting encryption policy

2016-09-10T03:37:14+00:00

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. (*) Or also on any regular file, for f2fs v4.6 and later and ext4 v4.8-rc1 and later; a separate bug fix is coming for that.
