Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] f2fs: require write permission for F2FS_IOC_SET_PIN_FILE
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 21:43:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112214303.16198-2-dennylin0707@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112214303.16198-1-dennylin0707@gmail.com>

F2FS_IOC_SET_PIN_FILE does not check who the caller is. Any user who
can open a file, even read-only, can:

 - pin it while it has no data blocks, after which writes that extend
   the file fail with -EIO;
 - unpin it, so that garbage collection may move blocks that a user of
   F2FS_IOC_SET_PIN_FILE expects to stay in place.

The ioctl checked inode_owner_or_capable() when it was added. Commit
aff7b628ac2d ("f2fs: set pin_file under CAP_SYS_ADMIN") replaced that
with a CAP_SYS_ADMIN check, and commit b13bdf03bb80 ("f2fs: allow all
the users to pin a file") then removed the CAP_SYS_ADMIN check, leaving
the ioctl without any permission check.

Require write permission on the inode. Users can still pin files that
they can write to.

Fixes: b13bdf03bb80 ("f2fs: allow all the users to pin a file")
