eventfs: Fix file and directory uid and gid ownership
It was reported that when mounting the tracefs file system with a gid other than root, the ownership did not carry down to the eventfs directory due to the dynamic nature of it. A fix was done to solve this, but it had two issues. (a) if the attr passed into update_inode_attr() was NULL, it didn't do anything. This is true for files that have not had a chown or chgrp done to itself or any of its sibling files, as the attr is allocated for all children when any one needs it. # umount /sys/kernel/tracing # mount -o rw,seclabel,relatime,gid=1000 -t tracefs nodev /mnt # ls -ld /mnt/events/sched drwxr-xr-x 28 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/ # ls -ld /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch drwxr-xr-x 2 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch/ But when checking the files: # ls -l /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch total 0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 enable -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 filter -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 format -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 hist -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 id -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 trigger (b) When the attr does not denote the UID or GID, it defaulted to using the parent uid or gid. This is incorrect as changing the parent uid or gid will automatically change all its children. # chgrp tracing /mnt/events/timer # ls -ld /mnt/events/timer drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:34 /mnt/events/timer # ls -l /mnt/events/timer total 0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 14:35 enable -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 14:35 filter drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_cancel drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_expire_entry drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_expire_exit drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_init drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_start drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 itimer_expire drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 itimer_state drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 tick_stop drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_cancel drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_expire_entry drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_expire_exit drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_init drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_start At first it was thought that this could be easily fixed by just making the default ownership of the superblock when it was mounted. But this does not handle the case of: # chgrp tracing instances # mkdir instances/foo If the superblock was used, then the group ownership would be that of what it was when it was mounted, when it should instead be "tracing". Instead, set a flag for the top level eventfs directory ("events") to flag which eventfs_inode belongs to it. Since the "events" directory's dentry and inode are never freed, it does not need to use its attr field to restore its mode and ownership. Use the this eventfs_inode's attr as the default ownership for all the files and directories underneath it. When the events eventfs_inode is created, it sets its ownership to its parent uid and gid. As the events directory is created at boot up before it gets mounted, this will always be uid=0 and gid=0. If it's created via an instance, then it will take the ownership of the instance directory. When the file system is mounted, it will update all the gids if one is specified. This will have a callback to update the events evenfs_inode's default entries. When a file or directory is created under the events directory, it will walk the ei->dentry parents until it finds the evenfs_inode that belongs to the events directory to retrieve the default uid and gid values.
