NFSD: Don't clear SUID/SGID after root writing data
We're clearing the SUID/SGID bits on write by hand in nfsd_vfs_write, even though the subsequent vfs_writev() call will end up doing this for us (through file system write methods eventually calling file_remove_suid(), e.g., from __generic_file_aio_write). So, remove the redundant nfsd code. The only change in behavior is when the write is by root, in which case we previously cleared SUID/SGID, but will now leave it alone. The new behavior is the behavior of every filesystem we've checked. It seems better to be consistent with local filesystem behavior. And the security advantage seems limited as root could always restore these bits by hand if it wanted. SUID/SGID is not cleared after writing data with (root, local ext4), File: ‘test’ Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file Device: 803h/2051d Inode: 1200137 Links: 1 Access: (4777/-rwsrwxrwx) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Context: unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 Access: 2014-04-18 21:36:31.016029014 +0800 Modify: 2014-04-18 21:36:31.016029014 +0800 Change: 2014-04-18 21:36:31.026030285 +0800 Birth: - File: ‘test’ Size: 5 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 803h/2051d Inode: 1200137 Links: 1 Access: (4777/-rwsrwxrwx) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Context: unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 Access: 2014-04-18 21:36:31.016029014 +0800 Modify: 2014-04-18 21:36:31.040032065 +0800 Change: 2014-04-18 21:36:31.040032065 +0800 Birth: - With no_root_squash, (root, remote ext4), SUID/SGID are cleared, File: ‘test’ Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 262144 regular empty file Device: 24h/36d Inode: 786439 Links: 1 Access: (4777/-rwsrwxrwx) Uid: ( 1000/ test) Gid: ( 1000/ test) Context: system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 Access: 2014-04-18 21:45:32.155805097 +0800 Modify: 2014-04-18 21:45:32.155805097 +0800 Change: 2014-04-18 21:45:32.168806749 +0800 Birth: - File: ‘test’ Size: 5 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 262144 regular file Device: 24h/36d Inode: 786439 Links: 1 Access: (0777/-rwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 1000/ test) Gid: ( 1000/ test) Context: system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 Access: 2014-04-18 21:45:32.155805097 +0800 Modify: 2014-04-18 21:45:32.184808783 +0800 Change: 2014-04-18 21:45:32.184808783 +0800 Birth: - Signed-off-by: Kinglong Mee <kinglongmee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: J.
