Merge tag 'close-range-cloexec-unshare-v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull close_range fix from Christian Brauner:
"syzbot reported a bug when asking close_range() to unshare the file
descriptor table and making all fds close-on-exec.
If CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE the caller will receive a private file
descriptor table in case their file descriptor table is currently
shared before operating on the requested file descriptor range.
For the case where the caller has requested all file descriptors to be
actually closed via e.g. close_range(3, ~0U, CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE) the
kernel knows that the caller does not need any of the file descriptors
anymore and will optimize the close operation by only copying all
files in the range from 0 to 3 and no others.
However, if the caller requested CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC together with
CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE the caller wants to still make use of the file
descriptors so the kernel needs to copy all of them and can't
optimize.
The original patch didn't account for this and thus could cause oopses
as evidenced by the syzbot report because it assumed that all fds had
been copied. Fix this by handling the CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC case and
copying all fds if the two flags are specified together.
This should've been caught in the selftests but the original patch
didn't cover this case and I didn't catch it during review. So in
addition to the bugfix I'm also adding selftests. They will reliably
reproduce the bug on a non-fixed kernel and allows us to catch
regressions and verify correct behavior.
Note, the kernel selftest tree contained a bunch of changes that made
the original selftest fail to compile so there are small fixups in
here make them compile without warnings"
