From d57cf30c4c07837799edec949102b0adf58bae79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" rostedt@goodmis.org Date: Thu, 2 May 2024 16:08:27 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] eventfs: Have "events" directory get permissions from its parent

The events directory gets its permissions from the root inode. But this can cause an inconsistency if the instances directory changes its permissions, as the permissions of the created directories under it should inherit the permissions of the instances directory when directories under it are created.

Currently the behavior is:

# cd /sys/kernel/tracing # chgrp 1002 instances # mkdir instances/foo # ls -l instances/foo [..] -r--r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 buffer_total_size_kb -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 error_log drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 May 1 18:55 events --w------- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 free_buffer drwxr-x--- 2 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 options drwxr-x--- 10 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 per_cpu -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 set_event

All the files and directories under "foo" has the "lkp" group except the "events" directory. That's because its getting its default value from the mount point instead of its parent.

Have the "events" directory make its default value based on its parent's permissions. That now gives:

# ls -l instances/foo [..] -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 buffer_subbuf_size_kb -r--r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 buffer_total_size_kb -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 error_log drwxr-xr-x 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 events --w------- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 free_buffer drwxr-x--- 2 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 options drwxr-x--- 10 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 per_cpu -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 set_event
