Pull ecryptfs fixes from Tyler Hicks:
- Fixes a bug when the lower filesystem mount options include 'acl',
but the eCryptfs mount options do not
- Cleanups in the messaging code
- Better handling of empty files in the lower filesystem to improve
usability. Failed file creations are now cleaned up and empty lower
files are converted into eCryptfs during open().
- The write-through cache changes are being reverted due to bugs that
are not easy to fix. Stability outweighs the performance
enhancements here.
- Improvement to the mount code to catch unsupported ciphers specified
in the mount options
* tag 'ecryptfs-3.6-rc1-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tyhicks/ecryptfs:

The issue occurs when eCryptfs is mounted with a cipher supported by
the crypto subsystem but not by eCryptfs. The mount succeeds and an
error does not occur until a write. This change checks for eCryptfs
cipher support at mount time.

A change was made about a year ago to get eCryptfs to better utilize its
page cache during writes. The idea was to do the page encryption
operations during page writeback, rather than doing them when initially
writing into the page cache, to reduce the number of page encryption
operations during sequential writes. This meant that the encrypted page
would only be written to the lower filesystem during page writeback,
which was a change from how eCryptfs had previously wrote to the lower
filesystem in ecryptfs_write_end().
The change caused a few eCryptfs-internal bugs that were shook out.
Unfortunately, more grave side effects have been identified that will
force changes outside of eCryptfs. Because the lower filesystem isn't
consulted until page writeback, eCryptfs has no way to pass lower write
errors (ENOSPC, mainly) back to userspace. Additionaly, it was reported
that quotas could be bypassed because of the way eCryptfs may sometimes
open the lower filesystem using a privileged kthread.
It would be nice to resolve the latest issues, but it is best if the
eCryptfs commits be reverted to the old behavior in the meantime.

Historically, eCryptfs has only initialized lower files in the
ecryptfs_create() path. Lower file initialization is the act of writing
the cryptographic metadata from the inode's crypt_stat to the header of
the file. The ecryptfs_open() path already expects that metadata to be
in the header of the file.
A number of users have reported empty lower files in beneath their
eCryptfs mounts. Most of the causes for those empty files being left
around have been addressed, but the presence of empty files causes
problems due to the lack of proper cryptographic metadata.
To transparently solve this problem, this patch initializes empty lower
files in the ecryptfs_open() error path. If the metadata is unreadable
due to the lower inode size being 0, plaintext passthrough support is
not in use, and the metadata is stored in the header of the file (as
opposed to the user.ecryptfs extended attribute), the lower file will be
initialized.
The number of nested conditionals in ecryptfs_open() was getting out of
hand, so a helper function was created. To avoid the same nested
conditional problem, the conditional logic was reversed inside of the
helper function.

ecryptfs_create() creates a lower inode, allocates an eCryptfs inode,
initializes the eCryptfs inode and cryptographic metadata attached to
the inode, and then writes the metadata to the header of the file.
If an error was to occur after the lower inode was created, an empty
lower file would be left in the lower filesystem. This is a problem
because ecryptfs_open() refuses to open any lower files which do not
have the appropriate metadata in the file header.
This patch properly unlinks the lower inode when an error occurs in the
later stages of ecryptfs_create(), reducing the chance that an empty
lower file will be left in the lower filesystem.

Now that a pointer to a valid struct ecryptfs_daemon is stored in the
private_data of an opened /dev/ecryptfs file, the remaining miscdev
functions can utilize the pointer rather than looking up the
ecryptfs_daemon at the beginning of each operation.
The security model of /dev/ecryptfs is simplified a little bit with this
patch. Upon opening /dev/ecryptfs, a per-user ecryptfs_daemon is
registered. Another daemon cannot be registered for that user until the
last file reference is released. During the lifetime of the
ecryptfs_daemon, access checks are not performed on the /dev/ecryptfs
operations because it is assumed that the application securely handles
the opened file descriptor and does not unintentionally leak it to
processes that are not trusted.

When the eCryptfs mount options do not include '-o acl', but the lower
filesystem's mount options do include 'acl', the MS_POSIXACL flag is not
flipped on in the eCryptfs super block flags. This flag is what the VFS
checks in do_last() when deciding if the current umask should be applied
to a newly created inode's mode or not. When a default POSIX ACL mask is
set on a directory, the current umask is incorrectly applied to new
inodes created in the directory. This patch ignores the MS_POSIXACL flag
passed into ecryptfs_mount() and sets the flag on the eCryptfs super
block depending on the flag's presence on the lower super block.
Additionally, it is incorrect to allow a writeable eCryptfs mount on top
of a read-only lower mount. This missing check did not allow writes to
the read-only lower mount because permissions checks are still performed
on the lower filesystem's objects but it is best to simply not allow a
rw mount on top of ro mount. However, a ro eCryptfs mount on top of a rw
mount is valid and still allowed.

File operations on /dev/ecryptfs would BUG() when the operations were
performed by processes other than the process that originally opened the
file. This could happen with open files inherited after fork() or file
descriptors passed through IPC mechanisms. Rather than calling BUG(), an
error code can be safely returned in most situations.
In ecryptfs_miscdev_release(), eCryptfs still needs to handle the
release even if the last file reference is being held by a process that
didn't originally open the file. ecryptfs_find_daemon_by_euid() will not
be successful, so a pointer to the daemon is stored in the file's
private_data. The private_data pointer is initialized when the miscdev
file is opened and only used when the file is released.

If the first attempt at opening the lower file read/write fails,
eCryptfs will retry using a privileged kthread. However, the privileged
retry should not happen if the lower file's inode is read-only because a
read/write open will still be unsuccessful.
The check for determining if the open should be retried was intended to
be based on the access mode of the lower file's open flags being
O_RDONLY, but the check was incorrectly performed. This would cause the
open to be retried by the privileged kthread, resulting in a second
failed open of the lower file. This patch corrects the check to
determine if the open request should be handled by the privileged
kthread.

After passing through a ->setxattr() call, eCryptfs needs to copy the
inode attributes from the lower inode to the eCryptfs inode, as they
may have changed in the lower filesystem's ->setxattr() path.
One example is if an extended attribute containing a POSIX Access
Control List is being set. The new ACL may cause the lower filesystem to
modify the mode of the lower inode and the eCryptfs inode would need to
be updated to reflect the new mode.

statfs() calls on eCryptfs files returned the wrong filesystem type and,
when using filename encryption, the wrong maximum filename length.
If mount-wide filename encryption is enabled, the cipher block size and
the lower filesystem's max filename length will determine the max
eCryptfs filename length. Pre-tested, known good lengths are used when
the lower filesystem's namelen is 255 and a cipher with 8 or 16 byte
block sizes is used. In other, less common cases, we fall back to a safe
rounded-down estimate when determining the eCryptfs namelen.

If pages passed to the eCryptfs extent-based crypto functions are not
mapped and the module parameter ecryptfs_verbosity=1 was specified at
loading time, a NULL pointer dereference will occur.
Note that this wouldn't happen on a production system, as you wouldn't
pass ecryptfs_verbosity=1 on a production system. It leaks private
information to the system logs and is for debugging only.
The debugging info printed in these messages is no longer very useful
and rather than doing a kmap() in these debugging paths, it will be
better to simply remove the debugging paths completely.

Most filesystems call inode_change_ok() very early in ->setattr(), but
eCryptfs didn't call it at all. It allowed the lower filesystem to make
the call in its ->setattr() function. Then, eCryptfs would copy the
appropriate inode attributes from the lower inode to the eCryptfs inode.
This patch changes that and actually calls inode_change_ok() on the
eCryptfs inode, fairly early in ecryptfs_setattr(). Ideally, the call
would happen earlier in ecryptfs_setattr(), but there are some possible
inode initialization steps that must happen first.
Since the call was already being made on the lower inode, the change in
functionality should be minimal, except for the case of a file extending
truncate call. In that case, inode_newsize_ok() was never being
called on the eCryptfs inode. Rather than inode_newsize_ok() catching
maximum file size errors early on, eCryptfs would encrypt zeroed pages
and write them to the lower filesystem until the lower filesystem's
write path caught the error in generic_write_checks(). This patch
introduces a new function, called ecryptfs_inode_newsize_ok(), which
checks if the new lower file size is within the appropriate limits when
the truncate operation will be growing the lower file.
In summary this change prevents eCryptfs truncate operations (and the
resulting page encryptions), which would exceed the lower filesystem
limits or FSIZE rlimits, from ever starting.

ecryptfs_write() handles the truncation of eCryptfs inodes. It grabs a
page, zeroes out the appropriate portions, and then encrypts the page
before writing it to the lower filesystem. It was unkillable and due to
the lack of sparse file support could result in tying up a large portion
of system resources, while encrypting pages of zeros, with no way for
the truncate operation to be stopped from userspace.
This patch adds the ability for ecryptfs_write() to detect a pending
fatal signal and return as gracefully as possible. The intent is to
leave the lower file in a useable state, while still allowing a user to
break out of the encryption loop. If a pending fatal signal is detected,
the eCryptfs inode size is updated to reflect the modified inode size
and then -EINTR is returned.

ecryptfs_write() can enter an infinite loop when truncating a file to a
size larger than 4G. This only happens on architectures where size_t is
represented by 32 bits.
This was caused by a size_t overflow due to it incorrectly being used to
store the result of a calculation which uses potentially large values of
type loff_t.
