This is the transport code for public key functionality in eCryptfs. It
manages encryption/decryption request queues with a transport mechanism.
Currently, netlink is the only implemented transport.
Each inode has a unique File Encryption Key (FEK). Under passphrase, a File
Encryption Key Encryption Key (FEKEK) is generated from a salt/passphrase
combo on mount. This FEKEK encrypts each FEK and writes it into the header of
each file using the packet format specified in RFC 2440. This is all
symmetric key encryption, so it can all be done via the kernel crypto API.
These new patches introduce public key encryption of the FEK. There is no
asymmetric key encryption support in the kernel crypto API, so eCryptfs pushes
the FEK encryption and decryption out to a userspace daemon. After
considering our requirements and determining the complexity of using various
transport mechanisms, we settled on netlink for this communication.
eCryptfs stores authentication tokens into the kernel keyring. These tokens
correlate with individual keys. For passphrase mode of operation, the
authentication token contains the symmetric FEKEK. For public key, the
authentication token contains a PKI type and an opaque data blob managed by
individual PKI modules in userspace.
Each user who opens a file under an eCryptfs partition mounted in public key
mode must be running a daemon. That daemon has the user's credentials and has
access to all of the keys to which the user should have access. The daemon,
when started, initializes the pluggable PKI modules available on the system
and registers itself with the eCryptfs kernel module. Userspace utilities
register public key authentication tokens into the user session keyring.
These authentication tokens correlate key signatures with PKI modules and PKI
blobs. The PKI blobs contain PKI-specific information necessary for the PKI
module to carry out asymmetric key encryption and decryption.
When the eCryptfs module parses the header of an existing file and finds a Tag
1 (Public Key) packet (see RFC 2440), it reads in the public key identifier
(signature). The asymmetrically encrypted FEK is in the Tag 1 packet;
eCryptfs puts together a decrypt request packet containing the signature and
the encrypted FEK, then it passes it to the daemon registered for the
current->euid via a netlink unicast to the PID of the daemon, which was
registered at the time the daemon was started by the user.
The daemon actually just makes calls to libecryptfs, which implements request
packet parsing and manages PKI modules. libecryptfs grabs the public key
authentication token for the given signature from the user session keyring.
This auth tok tells libecryptfs which PKI module should receive the request.
libecryptfs then makes a decrypt() call to the PKI module, and it passes along
the PKI block from the auth tok. The PKI uses the blob to figure out how it
should decrypt the data passed to it; it performs the decryption and passes
the decrypted data back to libecryptfs. libecryptfs then puts together a
reply packet with the decrypted FEK and passes that back to the eCryptfs
module.
The eCryptfs module manages these request callouts to userspace code via
message context structs. The module maintains an array of message context
structs and places the elements of the array on two lists: a free and an
allocated list. When eCryptfs wants to make a request, it moves a msg ctx
from the free list to the allocated list, sets its state to pending, and fires
off the message to the user's registered daemon.
When eCryptfs receives a netlink message (via the callback), it correlates the
msg ctx struct in the alloc list with the data in the message itself. The
msg->index contains the offset of the array of msg ctx structs. It verifies
that the registered daemon PID is the same as the PID of the process that sent
the message. It also validates a sequence number between the received packet
and the msg ctx. Then, it copies the contents of the message (the reply
packet) into the msg ctx struct, sets the state in the msg ctx to done, and
wakes up the process that was sleeping while waiting for the reply.
The sleeping process was whatever was performing the sys_open(). This process
originally called ecryptfs_send_message(); it is now in
ecryptfs_wait_for_response(). When it wakes up and sees that the msg ctx
state was set to done, it returns a pointer to the message contents (the reply
packet) and returns. If all went well, this packet contains the decrypted
FEK, which is then copied into the crypt_stat struct, and life continues as
normal.
The case for creation of a new file is very similar, only instead of a decrypt
request, eCryptfs sends out an encrypt request.

> not suitable (or growable) for public key management?
eCryptfs uses Howells' keyring to store persistent key data and PKI state
information. It defers public key cryptographic transformations to userspace
code. The userspace data manipulation request really is orthogonal to key
management in and of itself. What eCryptfs basically needs is a secure way to
communicate with a particular daemon for a particular task doing a syscall,
based on the UID. Nothing running under another UID should be able to access
that channel of communication.
> - Is it appropriate that new infrastructure for public key
> management be private to a particular fs?
The messaging.c file contains a lot of code that, perhaps, could be extracted
into a separate kernel service. In essence, this would be a sort of
request/reply mechanism that would involve a userspace daemon. I am not aware
of anything that does quite what eCryptfs does, so I was not aware of any
existing tools to do just what we wanted.
> What happens if one of these daemons exits without sending a quit
> message?
There is a stale uid<->pid association in the hash table for that user. When
the user registers a new daemon, eCryptfs cleans up the old association and
generates a new one. See ecryptfs_process_helo().
> - _why_ does it use netlink?
Netlink provides the transport mechanism that would minimize the complexity of
the implementation, given that we can have multiple daemons (one per user). I
explored the possibility of using relayfs, but that would involve having to
introduce control channels and a protocol for creating and tearing down
channels for the daemons. We do not have to worry about any of that with
netlink.

Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest
consumer. But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only
lasts until the session leader exits. Which means that no reference counting
is required. So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to
avoid hash table lookups.
In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid
spaces mixed everything will work correctly.

In switching the checks to use struct pid to be a little more efficient and

To properly implement a pid namespace I need to deal exclusively in terms of
struct pid, because pid_t values become ambiguous.
To this end session_of_pgrp is transformed to take and return a struct pid
pointer. To avoid the need to worry about reference counting I now require my
caller to hold the appropriate locks. Leaving callers repsonsible for
increasing the reference count if they need access to the result outside of
the locks.
Since session_of_pgrp currently only has one caller and that caller simply
uses only test the result for equality with another process group, the locking
change means I don't actually have to acquire the tasklist_lock at all.
tiocspgrp is also modified to take and release the lock. The logic there is a
little more complicated but nothing I won't need when I convert pgrp of a tty
to a struct pid pointer.

The aim of this patch set is to start wrapping up the struct pid conversions.
As such this patchset culminates with the removal of kill_pg, kill_pg_info,
__kill_pg_info, do_each_task_pid, and while_each_task_pid.
kill_proc, daemonize, and kernel_thread are still in my sights but there is
still work to get to them.
The first three are basic cleanups around disassociate_ctty, while working on
converting it I found several issues. tty_old_pgrp can be a tricky concept to
wrap your head around.
1 tty: Make __proc_set_tty static.
2 tty: Clarify disassociate_ctty
3 tty: Fix the locking for signal->session in disassociate_ctty
These just stop using the old helper functions.
4 signal: Use kill_pgrp not kill_pg in the sunos compatibility code.
5 signal: Rewrite kill_something_info so it uses newer helpers.
Then the grind to convert the tty layer and all of it's helper functions to
struct pid.
6 pid: Make session_of_pgrp use struct pid instead of pid_t.
7 pid: Use struct pid for talking about process groups in exit.c
8 pid: Replace is_orphaned_pgrp with is_current_pgrp_orphaned
9 tty: Update the tty layer to work with struct pid.
A final helper function update.
10 pid: Replace do/while_each_task_pid with do/while_each_pid_task
And the removal of the functions that are now unused.
11 pid: Remove now unused do_each_task_pid and while_each_task_pid
12 pid: Remove the now unused kill_pg kill_pg_info and __kill_pg_info
All of these should be fairly simple and to the point.
This patch:
Currently all users of __proc_set_tty are in tty_io.c so make the function
static.

Currently, XFS uses BH_PrivateStart for flagging unwritten extent state in a
bufferhead. Recently, I found the long standing mmap/unwritten extent
conversion bug, and it was to do with partial page invalidation not clearing
the unwritten flag from bufferheads attached to the page but beyond EOF. See
here for a full explaination:
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00196.html
The solution I have checked into the XFS dev tree involves duplicating code
from block_invalidatepage to clear the unwritten flag from the bufferhead(s),
and then calling block_invalidatepage() to do the rest.
Christoph suggested that this would be better solved by pushing the unwritten
flag into the common buffer head flags and just adding the call to
discard_buffer():

"s390 does not even need (in|out)b(_p|). I wondered what else from
io.h do we not need. The answer is: almost nothing. With the devres
patch from Al and the dma-mapping patch from Heiko we can get rid of
iomem and all associated definitions."
So we'll just need to replace NO_IOPORT with NO_IOMEM in Kconfig and
kill arch/s390/mm/ioremap.c.
BTW, there's an annoying bit of junk in there - IO_SPACE_LIMIT. We
only need it for /proc/ioports, which AFAICS shouldn't even be there
on s390 (or uml). OTOH, removing that thing would mean a user-visible
change - we go from "empty file in /proc" to "no such file in /proc"...

* Split the implementation-agnostic stuff in separate files.
* Make sure that targets using non-default request_irq() pull
kernel/irq/devres.o
* Introduce new symbols (HAS_IOPORT and HAS_IOMEM) defaulting to positive;
allow architectures to turn them off (we needed these symbols anyway for
dependencies of quite a few drivers).
* protect the ioport-related parts of lib/devres.o with CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT.
