#1555171 — [PATCH] ovl: do not ignore disk quota if current task is not privileged

If overlay was mounted by root then quota set for upper layer does not work
because overlay now always use mounter's credentials for operations.

This patch adds second copy of credentials without CAP_SYS_RESOURCE and
use it if current task doesn't have this capability in mounter's user-ns.
This affects creation new files, whiteouts, and copy-up operations.

Now quota limits are ignored only if both mounter and current task have
capability CAP_SYS_RESOURCE in root user namespace.

This makes sense to me. I too would like quota to take effect for
containers on overlay.

I will test it.

At first sight I hated this patch.  It breaks the nice concept that
underlying filesystems are just storage for the overlay and don't care
about caller's privileges (as a block device wouldn't care about
caller's privileges when allocating space).

However I don't see a good way around this, so...

Looks like this also has effect on reserving space in ext4, not sure
what that entails.

Thanks,
Miklos

Another solution: just always drop CAP_SYS_RESOURCE from capabilities.

Yes, CAP_SYS_RESOURCE allows to use reserved space and inodes.

That sounds like a better (and simpler) solution.

Let overlayfs support mount options noquota|quota (default configurable
from Kconfig and module param) and 'quota' means drop CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.

That's really not good. It's beyond disobeying user quotas, because
file system may get to unrecoverable state when corruption is detected
and already filled the root reserved space.

Too complicated for me. Let's drop it unconditionally. See v2 patch.

Hi Konstantin,

So CAP_SYS_RESOURCE bypasses the quota checks?

I just created dir upper on xfs filesystem and defined quota of 1G and
as root user (with cap_sys_resoureces), I am not able to create file
bigger than 1g in that dir. So looks like xfs quota took affect even
for privileged user with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE set.

What am I missing?

As root user, I set limit of 1G on work/ and upper/ dir and created
a file of 4G in lower/ dir and mounted overlay on "merged" dir and
did "touch zerofile", and go error message.

touch: cannot touch 'zerofile': No space left on device

So looks like I am doing something wrong and not be able to reproduce
the issue to begin with.

I'm using ext4 project quota around upper/work directories.
ext4 use generic quota implementation: it ignores hard limits if CAP_SYS_RESOURCE is set.

It seems XFS ignores CAP_SYS_RESOURCE for any kind of quota.
But I've found special meaning for CAP_FOWNER - chown() can ignore user/group
quota if caller have this capability.

Yep. See in fs/quota/dquot.c

static int ignore_hardlimit(struct dquot *dquot)
{
	struct mem_dqinfo *info = &sb_dqopt(dquot->dq_sb)->info[dquot->dq_id.type];

	return capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) &&
	       (info->dqi_format->qf_fmt_id != QFMT_VFS_OLD ||
		!(info->dqi_flags & DQF_ROOT_SQUASH));
}

Feature DQF_ROOT_SQUASH which disables this bypassing is obsoleted in modern quota formats.

XFS has its own quota and I cannot find any capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) here.
So, probably XFS ignores this capability and always limits root user.

#1555802 — [PATCH v2] ovl: drop CAP_SYS_RESOURCE from saved mounter's credentials

If overlay was mounted by root then quota set for upper layer does not work
because overlay now always use mounter's credentials for operations.
Also overlay might deplete reserved space and inodes in ext4.

This patch drops capability SYS_RESOURCE from saved credentials.
This affects creation new files, whiteouts, and copy-up operations.

I am not an expert in this area, but I thought previous patch was
better. I am not sure why overlay internal operations should be
done without CAP_SYS_RESOURCES when caller has CAP_SYS_RESOURCES. That
might be counter-intuitive.

If some task is allowed to bypass quota limitations on a file system
then same should be true when task is working on overlay.

Similary if a task is allowed to use reserved space on filesystem, then same
task should be allowed to use reserved space on underlying filesystem
when doing overlay.  It should not be overlay's job to prevent that?

May be it is just me....
