From 6c988f575915ab5162332d61f91dca99dcc17335 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2016 16:45:03 +0100 Subject: ecryptfs: use vfs_get_link() Here again we are copying form one buffer to another, while jumping through hoops to make kernel memory look like userspace memory. For no good reason, since vfs_get_link() provides exactly what is needed. As a bonus, now the security hook for readlink is also called on the underlying inode. Note: this can be called from link-following context. But this is okay: - not in RCU mode - commit e54ad7f1ee26 ("proc: prevent stacking filesystems on top") - ecryptfs is *reading* the underlying symlink not following it, so the right security hook is being called Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Cc: Tyler Hicks --- fs/ecryptfs/inode.c | 29 ++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) (limited to 'fs/ecryptfs') diff --git a/fs/ecryptfs/inode.c b/fs/ecryptfs/inode.c index cf390dceddd2..4ea9d69152dc 100644 --- a/fs/ecryptfs/inode.c +++ b/fs/ecryptfs/inode.c @@ -631,28 +631,23 @@ out_lock: static char *ecryptfs_readlink_lower(struct dentry *dentry, size_t *bufsiz) { + DEFINE_DELAYED_CALL(done); struct dentry *lower_dentry = ecryptfs_dentry_to_lower(dentry); - char *lower_buf; + const char *link; char *buf; - mm_segment_t old_fs; int rc; - lower_buf = kmalloc(PATH_MAX, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!lower_buf) - return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); - old_fs = get_fs(); - set_fs(get_ds()); - rc = d_inode(lower_dentry)->i_op->readlink(lower_dentry, - (char __user *)lower_buf, - PATH_MAX); - set_fs(old_fs); - if (rc < 0) - goto out; + link = vfs_get_link(lower_dentry, &done); + if (IS_ERR(link)) + return ERR_CAST(link); + rc = ecryptfs_decode_and_decrypt_filename(&buf, bufsiz, dentry->d_sb, - lower_buf, rc); -out: - kfree(lower_buf); - return rc ?
