Subject: [PATCH v2] block: handle BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES correctly
Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2024 16:46:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240326-lehrkraft-messwerte-e3895039e63b@brauner> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240326133107.bnjx2rjf5l6yijgz@quack3>

Last kernel release we introduce CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED. By
default this option is set. When it is set the long-standing behavior
of being able to write to mounted block devices is enabled.

But in order to guard against unintended corruption by writing to the
block device buffer cache CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED can be turned
off. In that case it isn't possible to write to mounted block devices
anymore.

A filesystem may open its block devices with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES
which disallows concurrent BLK_OPEN_WRITE access. When we still had the
bdev handle around we could recognize BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES because
the mode was passed around. Since we managed to get rid of the bdev
handle we changed that logic to recognize BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES based
on whether the file was opened writable and writes to that block device
are blocked. That logic doesn't work because we do allow
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES to be specified without BLK_OPEN_WRITE.

Fix the detection logic and use one of the FMODE_* bits we freed up a
while ago. We could've also abused O_EXCL as an indicator that
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES has been requested. For userspace open paths
O_EXCL will never be retained but for internal opens where we open files
that are never installed into a file descriptor table this is fine. But
it would be a gamble that this doesn't cause bugs. Note that
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES is an internal only flag that cannot directly
be raised by userspace. It is implicitly raised during mounting.

Passes xftests and blktests with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED set and
unset.
