2020-07-23Add permission checks to vfs2 truncate.Dean Deng
- Check write permission on truncate(2). Unlike ftruncate(2), truncate(2) fails if the user does not have write permissions on the file. - For gofers under InteropModeShared, check file type before making a truncate request. We should fail early and avoid making an rpc when possible. Furthermore, depending on the remote host's failure may give us unexpected behavior--if the host converts the truncate request to an ftruncate syscall on an open fd, we will get EINVAL instead of EISDIR.

2020-06-23Support inotify in vfs2 gofer fs.Dean Deng
Because there is no inode structure stored in the sandbox, inotify watches must be held on the dentry. This would be an issue in the presence of hard links, where multiple dentries would need to share the same set of watches, but in VFS2, we do not support the internal creation of hard links on gofer fs. As a result, we make the assumption that every dentry corresponds to a unique inode. Furthermore, dentries can be cached and then evicted, even if the underlying file has not be deleted. We must prevent this from occurring if there are any watches that would be lost. Note that if the dentry was deleted or invalidated (d.vfsd.IsDead()), we should still destroy it along with its watches. Additionally, when a dentry’s last watch is removed, we cache it if it also has zero references. This way, the dentry can eventually be evicted from memory if it is no longer needed. This is accomplished with a new dentry method, OnZeroWatches(), which is called by Inotify.RmWatch and Inotify.Release. Note that it must be called after all inotify locks are released to avoid violating lock order. Stress tests are added to make sure that inotify operations don't deadlock with gofer.OnZeroWatches.

2020-06-17Implement POSIX locksFabricio Voznika
- Change FileDescriptionImpl Lock/UnlockPOSIX signature to take {start,length,whence}, so the correct offset can be calculated in the implementations. - Create PosixLocker interface to make it possible to share the same locking code from different implementations.

2020-06-11Add //pkg/sentry/fsimpl/overlay.Jamie Liu
Major differences from existing overlay filesystems: - Linux allows lower layers in an overlay to require revalidation, but not the upper layer. VFS1 allows the upper layer in an overlay to require revalidation, but not the lower layer. VFS2 does not allow any layers to require revalidation. (Now that vfs.MkdirOptions.ForSyntheticMountpoint exists, no uses of overlay in VFS1 are believed to require upper layer revalidation; in particular, the requirement that the upper layer support the creation of "trusted." extended attributes for whiteouts effectively required the upper filesystem to be tmpfs in most cases.) - Like VFS1, but unlike Linux, VFS2 overlay does not attempt to make mutations of the upper layer atomic using a working directory and features like RENAME_WHITEOUT. (This may change in the future, since not having a working directory makes error recovery for some operations, e.g. rmdir, particularly painful.) - Like Linux, but unlike VFS1, VFS2 represents whiteouts using character devices with rdev == 0; the equivalent of the whiteout attribute on directories is xattr trusted.overlay.opaque = "y"; and there is no equivalent to the whiteout attribute on non-directories since non-directories are never merged with lower layers. - Device and inode numbers work as follows: - In Linux, modulo the xino feature and a special case for when all layers are the same filesystem: - Directories use the overlay filesystem's device number and an ephemeral inode number assigned by the overlay. - Non-directories that have been copied up use the device and inode number assigned by the upper filesystem. - Non-directories that have not been copied up use a per-(overlay, layer)-pair device number and the inode number assigned by the lower filesystem. - In VFS1, device and inode numbers always come from the lower layer unless "whited out"; this has the adverse effect of requiring interaction with the lower filesystem even for non-directory files that exist on the upper layer. - In VFS2, device and inode numbers are assigned as in Linux, except that xino and the samefs special case are not supported. - Like Linux, but unlike VFS1, VFS2 does not attempt to maintain memory mapping coherence across copy-up. (This may have to change in the future, as users may be dependent on this property.) - Like Linux, but unlike VFS1, VFS2 uses the overlayfs mounter's credentials when interacting with the overlay's layers, rather than the caller's. - Like Linux, but unlike VFS1, VFS2 permits multiple lower layers in an overlay. - Like Linux, but unlike VFS1, VFS2's overlay filesystem is application-mountable.
