commitd2c2b11cfaupstream. [PATCH v3 1/2] device_cgroup: check if exception removal is allowed When the device cgroup hierarchy was introduced inbd2953ebbb- devcg: propagate local changes down the hierarchy a specific case was overlooked. Consider the hierarchy bellow: A default policy: ALLOW, exceptions will deny access \ B default policy: ALLOW, exceptions will deny access There's no need to verify when an new exception is added to B because in this case exceptions will deny access to further devices, which is always fine. Hierarchy in device cgroup only makes sure B won't have more access than A. But when an exception is removed (by writing devices.allow), it isn't checked if the user is in fact removing an inherited exception from A, thus giving more access to B. Example: # echo 'a' >A/devices.allow # echo 'c 1:3 rw' >A/devices.deny # echo $$ >A/B/tasks # echo >/dev/null -bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted # echo 'c 1:3 w' >A/B/devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # This shouldn't be allowed and this patch fixes it by making sure to never allow exceptions in this case to be removed if the exception is partially or fully present on the parent. v3: missing '*' in function description v2: improved log message and formatting fixes Cc: cgroups@vger.kernel.org Cc: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Aristeu Rozanski <arozansk@redhat.com> Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
