10:50 a.m.
There have been some patches added to v3.19-rcX to fix various
problems in the way audit handles filenames but they have been hacks
on top of hacks, not really something we want long term. This
patchset reworks the way audit handles filenames, removing a lot of
nasty hacks added recently, and fixing a few bugs that still remain.
Most significant to folks outside of audit, patch 5/5 does away with
the nasty getname()/putname() kludge in favor of a less ugly reference
count approach.
Comments and feedback are welcome. If nothing ugly pops up on review
I'll see if Linus is interested in taking this for the next v3.19-rcX
release, otherwise I'll toss it into linux-next for v3.20.

New subject: [RFC PATCH 2/5] fs: create proper filename objects using getname_kernel()
There are several areas in the kernel that create temporary filename
objects using the following pattern:
int func(const char *name)
{
struct filename *file = { .name = name };
...
return 0;
}
... which for the most part works okay, but it causes havoc within the
audit subsystem as the filename object does not persist beyond the
lifetime of the function. This patch converts all of these temporary
filename objects into proper filename objects using getname_kernel()
and putname() which ensure that the filename object persists until the
audit subsystem is finished with it.

New subject: [RFC PATCH 4/5] audit: fix filename matching in __audit_inode() and __audit_inode_child()
In all likelihood there were some subtle, and perhaps not so subtle,
bugs with filename matching in audit_inode() and audit_inode_child()
for some time, however, recent changes to the audit filename code have
definitely broken the filename matching code. The breakage could
result in duplicate filenames in the audit log and other odd audit
record entries. This patch fixes the filename matching code and
restores some sanity to the filename audit records.

On 15/01/08, Paul Moore wrote:
In all likelihood there were some subtle, and perhaps not so subtle,
bugs with filename matching in audit_inode() and audit_inode_child()
for some time, however, recent changes to the audit filename code have
definitely broken the filename matching code. The breakage could
result in duplicate filenames in the audit log and other odd audit
record entries. This patch fixes the filename matching code and
restores some sanity to the filename audit records.

New subject: [RFC PATCH 5/5] audit: replace getname()/putname() hacks with reference counters
In order to ensure that filenames are not released before the audit
subsystem is done with the strings there are a number of hacks built
into the fs and audit subsystems around getname() and putname(). To
say these hacks are "ugly" would be kind.
This patch removes the filename hackery in favor of a more
conventional reference count based approach. The diffstat below tells
most of the story; lots of audit/fs specific code is replaced with a
traditional reference count based approach that is easily understood,
even by those not familiar with the audit and/or fs subsystems.

The only nit I've got is "refcnt" enlarges "struct filename" where
I
would have used a bitfield with "separate".
Otherwise, this looks like an improvement. Thanks.

The only nit I've got is "refcnt" enlarges "struct filename"
where I
would have used a bitfield with "separate".
Otherwise, this looks like an improvement. Thanks.
I agree that it is unfortunate that struct filename increases, but it seemed
liked a valid tradeoff considering that we got to remove the
getname()/putname() hacks in favor of a more traditional approach.
As far the int versus bitfield, I suppose I favor the int in this particular
case, but if the fs folks want a bitfield I can do that.

Thanks for taking the time to review the patchset.

There have been some patches added to v3.19-rcX to fix various
problems in the way audit handles filenames but they have been hacks
on top of hacks, not really something we want long term. This
patchset reworks the way audit handles filenames, removing a lot of
nasty hacks added recently, and fixing a few bugs that still remain.
Most significant to folks outside of audit, patch 5/5 does away with
the nasty getname()/putname() kludge in favor of a less ugly reference
count approach.
Comments and feedback are welcome. If nothing ugly pops up on review
I'll see if Linus is interested in taking this for the next v3.19-rcX
release, otherwise I'll toss it into linux-next for v3.20.

Al/fs dev: any chance you guys can take a quick look at the fs relevant
portions of this patchset and give it a ACK/NACK? I'll carry the patchset in
the audit tree, but I'd like to see a thumbs up from someone in fs land before
I merge these patches.
Thanks,
