ext4 crypto: enforce context consistency
Enforce the following inheritance policy: 1) An unencrypted directory may contain encrypted or unencrypted files or directories. 2) All files or directories in a directory must be protected using the same key as their containing directory. As a result, assuming the following setup: mke2fs -t ext4 -Fq -O encrypt /dev/vdc mount -t ext4 /dev/vdc /vdc mkdir /vdc/a /vdc/b /vdc/c echo foo | e4crypt add_key /vdc/a echo bar | e4crypt add_key /vdc/b for i in a b c ; do cp /etc/motd /vdc/$i/motd-$i ; done Then we will see the following results: cd /vdc mv a b # will fail; /vdc/a and /vdc/b have different keys mv b/motd-b a # will fail, see above ln a/motd-a b # will fail, see above mv c a # will fail; all inodes in an encrypted directory # must be encrypted ln c/motd-c b # will fail, see above mv a/motd-a c # will succeed mv c/motd-a a # will succeed Signed-off-by: Michael Halcrow <mhalcrow@google.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
