btrfs: allow idmapped SNAP_DESTROY ioctls
Destroying subvolumes and snapshots are important features of btrfs.
Both operations are available to unprivileged users if the filesystem
has been mounted with the "user_subvol_rm_allowed" mount option. Allow
subvolume and snapshot deletion on idmapped mounts. This is a fairly
straightforward operation since all the permission checking helpers are
already capable of handling idmapped mounts. So we just need to pass
down the mount's userns.
Subvolumes and snapshots can either be deleted by specifying their name
or - if BTRFS_IOC_SNAP_DESTROY_V2 is used - by their subvolume or
snapshot id if the BTRFS_SUBVOL_SPEC_BY_ID is set.
This feature is blocked on idmapped mounts as this allows filesystem
wide subvolume deletions and thus can escape the scope of what's exposed
under the mount identified by the fd passed with the ioctl.
This means that even the root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN capable user can't delete
a subvolume via BTRFS_SUBVOL_SPEC_BY_ID. This is intentional.
The root user is currently already subject to permission checks in
btrfs_may_delete() including whether the inode's i_uid/i_gid of the
directory the subvolume is located in have a mapping in the caller's
idmapping. For this to fail isn't currently possible since a btrfs
filesystem can't be mounted with a non-initial idmapping but it shows
that even the root user would fail to delete a subvolume if the relevant
inode isn't mapped in their idmapping. The idmapped mount case is the
same in principle.
This isn't a huge problem a root user wanting to delete arbitrary
subvolumes can just always create another (even detached) mount without
an idmapping attached.
In addition, we will allow BTRFS_SUBVOL_SPEC_BY_ID for cases where the
subvolume to delete is directly located under inode referenced by the fd
passed for the ioctl() in a follow-up commit.
Here is an example where a btrfs subvolume is deleted through a
subvolume mount that does not expose the subvolume to be delete but it
can still be deleted by using the subvolume id:
/* Compile the following program as "delete_by_spec". */
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <linux/btrfs.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
static int rm_subvolume_by_id(int fd, uint64_t subvolid)
{
struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args_v2 args = {};
int ret;
args.flags = BTRFS_SUBVOL_SPEC_BY_ID;
args.subvolid = subvolid;
ret = ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_SNAP_DESTROY_V2, &args);
if (ret < 0)
return -1;
return 0;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int subvolid = 0;
if (argc < 3)
exit(1);
fprintf(stderr, "Opening %s\n", argv[1]);
int fd = open(argv[1], O_CLOEXEC | O_DIRECTORY);
if (fd < 0)
exit(2);
subvolid = atoi(argv[2]);
fprintf(stderr, "Deleting subvolume with subvolid %d\n", subvolid);
int ret = rm_subvolume_by_id(fd, subvolid);
if (ret < 0)
exit(3);
exit(0);
}
#include <stdio.h>"
#include <stdlib.h>"
#include <linux/btrfs.h"
truncate -s 10G btrfs.img
mkfs.btrfs btrfs.img
export LOOPDEV=$(sudo losetup -f --show btrfs.img)
mount ${LOOPDEV} /mnt
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) /mnt
btrfs subvolume create /mnt/A
btrfs subvolume create /mnt/B/C
# Get subvolume id via:
sudo btrfs subvolume show /mnt/A
# Save subvolid
SUBVOLID=<nr>
sudo umount /mnt
sudo mount ${LOOPDEV} -o subvol=B/C,user_subvol_rm_allowed /mnt
./delete_by_spec /mnt ${SUBVOLID}
With idmapped mounts this can potentially be used by users to delete
subvolumes/snapshots they would otherwise not have access to as the
idmapping would be applied to an inode that is not exposed in the mount
of the subvolume.
The fact that this is a filesystem wide operation suggests it might be a
good idea to expose this under a separate ioctl that clearly indicates
this. In essence, the file descriptor passed with the ioctl is merely
used to identify the filesystem on which to operate when
BTRFS_SUBVOL_SPEC_BY_ID is used.
