Hi Linus,
/* Summary */ - Remove the unused VALID_UPGRADE_FLAGS define we carried from an extension to openat2() that we haven't merged. Aleksa might be getting back to it at some point but just not right now.
- openat2() used to accidently ignore unknown flag values in the upper 32 bits.
The new openat2() syscall verifies that no unknown O-flag values are set and returns an error to userspace if they are while the older open syscalls like open() and openat() simply ignore unknown flag values:
#define O_FLAG_CURRENTLY_INVALID (1 << 31) struct open_how how = { .flags = O_RDONLY | O_FLAG_CURRENTLY_INVALID, .resolve = 0, }; /* fails */ fd = openat2(-EBADF, "/dev/null", &how, sizeof(how)); /* succeeds */ fd = openat(-EBADF, "/dev/null", O_RDONLY | O_FLAG_CURRENTLY_INVALID); However, openat2() silently truncates the upper 32 bits meaning: #define O_FLAG_CURRENTLY_INVALID_LOWER32 (1 << 31) #define O_FLAG_CURRENTLY_INVALID_UPPER32 (1 << 40) struct open_how how_lowe32 = { .flags = O_RDONLY | O_FLAG_CURRENTLY_INVALID_LOWER32, }; struct open_how how_upper32 = { .flags = O_RDONLY | O_FLAG_CURRENTLY_INVALID_UPPER32, }; /* fails */ fd = openat2(-EBADF, "/dev/null", &how_lower32, sizeof(how_lower32)); /* succeeds */ fd = openat2(-EBADF, "/dev/null", &how_upper32, sizeof(how_upper32)); Fix this by preventing the immediate truncation in build_open_flags() and add a compile-time check to catch when we add flags in the upper 32 bit range.
/* Testing */ All patches are based on v5.13-rc3 and have been sitting in linux-next. No build failures or warnings were observed. All old and new tests are passing.
/* Conflicts */ At the time of creating this PR no merge conflicts were reported from linux-next and no merge conflicts showed up doing a test-merge with current mainline.
The following changes since commit c4681547bcce777daf576925a966ffa824edd09d:
