To: linux-btrfs; +Cc: Gene Czarcinski
This patch hits a lot of files but adds little code. It
could be considered a bugfix, Currently, when one of the
btrfs user-space programs is executed by a regular user,
the result if oftem a number of strange error messages
which do not indicate the real problem. This patch changes
that situation.
A test is performed as to whether the program is running
as root. If it is not, issue an error message and exit.

I knew there would be corner cases where root was not required for execution. After all, I do not need to be root to execute "btrfs --version". Now, is it worth the effort to determine the corner cases and do you have a proposed solution as to determining what privileges are needed when? I can understand when it could be a regular file but is it all that common for users to be part of group disk? If there is a case where it is difficult to figure out if root is needed, then my solution would be to turn it into a warning message and remove the exit for that specific program. However, I believe the real answer is to use sudo.

Don't try to check all the possible success conditions beforehand -- that's what leads to websites that fail to work because your browser is not IE, but work perfectly when you change your user-agent string to "MSIE". This is highly frustrating for users. Instead, try whatever it is you were trying to do (open a file, send an ioctl), and determine, as well as you can, why it failed by looking at the error codes that you get back, and report that. "Permission denied" -> means you don't have permissions -> you need to be root, or have yourself put in the disk group, or get the disk-management-capability. Let the user work out which of those solutions they need, rather than forcing them to use the one you thought of.

As Hugo suggested, I'd rather that we fix or refine the code in order to get better error messages. All the different exceptions to requiring or not requiring root overly complicates things that, strictly speaking, shouldn't need to be handled in advance. -- __________ Brendan Hide http://swiftspirit.co.za/ http://www.webafrica.co.za/?AFF1E97 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

Also UID==0 doesn't necessarily mean ultimate access to the system. The case where the process is running as root but still lacks the access to perform the operations in question should also be handled. Yes, ability to read/write the device/file or whatever is being operated on should be the criteria that is used not UID etc. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

So, in that particular case, I think the right fix is to make the code in that spot be more informative; there are probably a whole lot of places that could use fixes like this, though, not just this one. Still, it would be helpful to the user, I think. i.e. show: [testuser@host btrfs-progs]$ whoami testuser [testuser@host btrfs-progs]$ ./btrfs fi show failed to open /dev/sda: Permission denied failed to open /dev/sda1: Permission denied ... [PATCH] print more informative error when we fail to open a device If open() fails, we should let the user know why it failed.

I think that a message such as Eric proposed of "failed to open /dev/sda: Permission denied" is clear enough. If you run as non-root on a system with no security system other than Unix permissions then it will be quite obvious that such an error can be fixed by running as root. But if you are running SE Linux or some other security system then you could be prevented from running the program without the root/non-root status of it being relevant. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

Being pedantic, I would point out that the kernel is checking if the user has CAP_SYS_ADMIN, which could be different than geteuid() == 0. I can have both a root users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN and a normal user with this capability. If I can make a suggestion, the work of Gene could be changed in checking which command really requires to be root. To day I can create a subvolume, and remove a subvolume [1] without needing root. I am guessing if there is a valid reason to require "root" to list the subvolumes. I know that behind the command "find-subvolumes" there is the ioctl BTRFS_IOC_TREE_SEARCH which requires to be root, because it could export some sensible information. But this can be easy solved creating an ioctl which export only not-sensible data (i.e. it export only the name and the path of the subvolume). I think that a good analysis of these situations could improve the btrfs usability.

Can you elaborate on what situations those are, and what messages appear? I'm guessing that it just requires some error handling fixes. -Eric ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread
