Description Richard Sharpe 2015-04-14 17:24:42 UTC
One of my team noticed that Samba calls SMB_VFS_STAT with absolute paths sometimes.

I tracked it down to the code in source3/smbd/service.c around line 824. There is a comment there:

        /* win2000 does not check the permissions on the directory
           during the tree connect, instead relying on permission
           check during individual operations. To match this behaviour
           I have disabled this chdir check (tridge) */
        /* the alternative is just to check the directory exists */

It should always use the relative path or give us a flag to let us know which is being used.
Comment 1 Richard Sharpe 2015-04-14 19:01:09 UTC
Note that there are two actual calls to SMB_VFS_STAT with an absolute path. One of them is coming from source3/modules/vfs_default.c:vfswrap_fs_capabilities.

Perhaps we should restructure that call to pass in the statbuf we got from the earlier call ... or something ...

Richard, can you test this and see if it fixes the issue ? I'm still doing testing here.

Thanks !

Jeremy.
Comment 3 Richard Sharpe 2015-04-14 19:22:52 UTC
OK, giving it a spin now ...
Comment 4 Jeremy Allison 2015-04-14 19:24:35 UTC
Ah - won't fix the capabilities use. Maybe a follow-up patch for that ?

This should fix both places...
Comment 6 Richard Sharpe 2015-04-14 22:22:32 UTC
OK, I have tested the first patch and it works to fix the first usage.

However, I noticed some interesting things.

Here is a log of all the stat calls made when I use smbclient and do an ls and then exit:

[root@rjsnvm1 ~]# grep ' called with' /var/log/samba/ntnxclus1.log
  hvnas_stat called with .                    # The patch fixes this one

Excuse my little joke, BTW.

Hmmm, with the second patch I get this:

I added the stack trace to see where we were getting that absolute path from.

Digging further.
Comment 9 Richard Sharpe 2015-04-14 22:54:05 UTC
OK, I know what is going on with the claim that . is a symlink.

It looks like we did a ChDir back to / and now . means something different.
Comment 10 Jeremy Allison 2015-04-14 22:59:34 UTC
(In reply to Richard Sharpe from comment #9)

Hmmm. Is that after the make_connection() call ? That should be being done as root, and I didn't think we should be doing any more file access in the reply from the tcon call.
Comment 11 Richard Sharpe 2015-04-14 23:32:08 UTC
I see what the problem is.

The share is an msdfs root:

  vfs_ChDir to /

We are doing an explicit chdir to / after we disconnect for doing the MSDFS stuff.
Comment 12 Richard Sharpe 2015-04-14 23:48:49 UTC
(In reply to Richard Sharpe from comment #11)

OK, ignore that comment. We were doing a ChDir to / because the client disconnected from the share.
Comment 13 Richard Sharpe 2015-04-14 23:57:13 UTC
This appears to be the problem:

  Changing to /

vfs_ChDir was called to set us to the share path, and behind it's back we did a chdir to /.
Comment 14 Richard Sharpe 2015-04-15 00:10:24 UTC
This appears to be what we need instead of chdir in those two places:

+       /* We're exiting as root - ensure we're in / */
+       DEBUG(10, ("Changing to /"));
+       if (vfs_ChDir(conn, "/") != 0) {
+               smb_panic("Failed to ChDir(/).");
+       }
+
        return status;

   err_root_exit:

Comment 15 Jeremy Allison 2015-04-15 00:13:31 UTC
Oh I get it, I forgot to use vfs_Chdir() to keep the cache consistent once we've already used it. Doh ! Thanks...
Comment 16 Richard Sharpe 2015-04-15 00:19:49 UTC
One more issue, we call vfs_GetWd and that calls SMB_VFS_STAT on smb_fname_full, so we still get absolute path names in vfs module stat functions.

Richard, Jeremy: what is the status of this?
