Subject: [PATCH] fscrypto: require write access to mount to set encryption policy
Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2017 16:32:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171024233216.70844-1-ebiggers3@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

commit ba63f23d69a3a10e7e527a02702023da68ef8a6d upstream.  [Please apply
to 4.4-stable.  Note: this was already backported, but only to ext4; it
was missed that it should go to f2fs as well.  This is needed to make
xfstest generic/395 pass on f2fs.]

Since setting an encryption policy requires writing metadata to the
filesystem, it should be guarded by mnt_want_write/mnt_drop_write.
Otherwise, a user could cause a write to a frozen or readonly
filesystem.  This was handled correctly by f2fs but not by ext4.  Make
fscrypt_process_policy() handle it rather than relying on the filesystem
to get it right.
