If a client doesn't have Fx caps on a directory, it will get errors while

fscrypt (ceph, inode 1099511627812): Error -105 getting encryption context

A simple way to reproduce this is to use two clients:

client1 # mkdir /mnt/mydir

client2 # ls /mnt/mydir

client1 # fscrypt encrypt /mnt/mydir
client1 # echo hello > /mnt/mydir/world

This happens because, in __ceph_setattr(), we only initialize
ci->fscrypt_auth if we have Ax. If we don't have, we'll need to do that
later, in handle_cap_grant().

Hi!

To be honest, I'm not really sure about the conditions in the 'if': shall
I bother checking it's really a dir and that it is empty?

Hi Luis,

Thanks for your time on this bug.

IMO we should fix this in ceph_fill_inode():

 995 #ifdef CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION
 996         if (iinfo->fscrypt_auth_len && (inode->i_state & I_NEW)) {
 997                 kfree(ci->fscrypt_auth);
 998                 ci->fscrypt_auth_len = iinfo->fscrypt_auth_len;
 999                 ci->fscrypt_auth = iinfo->fscrypt_auth;
1000                 iinfo->fscrypt_auth = NULL;
1001                 iinfo->fscrypt_auth_len = 0;
1002                 inode_set_flags(inode, S_ENCRYPTED, S_ENCRYPTED);
1003         }
1004 #endif

The setattr will get a reply from MDS including the fscrypt auth info, I
think the kclient just drop it here.
I've done some testing and I don't really see this code kfree'ing a valid
fscrypt_auth here. However, I guess it is possible to fix this issue here
too, but in a different way, by changing that 'if' condition to:

if (iinfo->fscrypt_auth_len &&
((inode->i_state & I_NEW) || (ci->fscrypt_auth_len == 0))) {
...
}

I'm not really sure if this is sane though. When we loose the 'Ax' caps
(another client as accessed the directory we're encrypting), we also seem
to loose the I_NEW state. Using the above code seems to work for the
testcase in my patch, but I'm not sure it won't break something else.

It should be okay IMO.

The I_NEW is for new created directories, such as for mkdir request,etc. But currently the code didn't consider the setattr case.

Please send you patch let's check and discuss there.

Thanks!

If we fix it in handle_cap_grant() I am afraid this bug still exists. What
if there is no any new caps will be issued or revoked recently and then
access to the directory ?

Thanks
