Subject: [PATCH] net: always initialize sysctl ownership

The sysctl core does not initialize these fields when the set_ownership
callback is present.
So always do it in the callback.

Fixes: e79c6a4fc923 ("net: make net namespace sysctls belong to container's owner")

Could you add few more words here to explain what the problem is
like commit 5ec27ec735ba ("fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c: fix the default
values of i_uid/i_gid on /proc/sys inodes.").

BTW, it seems that we can change the value even if the uid/gid is
invalid unlike the issue mentioned in 5ec27ec735ba.

So, the problem is just the invalid uid/gid exposed to userspace
or am I missing something ?

How about setting the default in proc_sys_make_inode() instead ?
because the default value configured by new_inode() is not
appropriate for procfs, IIUC.

Thanks!

This is a bit ambiguous as these values get set in the new_inode(sb)
call. What is really happening is that the GLOBAL_ROOT_[U|G]ID is not
getting the correct default.

I think this is incorrect and here is why:
1. At the point of committing this code, the default behavior was
dictated by the new_inode call. Which calculated the value from
super_block *sb. This was Aug 10 2016 (approx).
2. The issue comes when a new default behavior is added by setting
GLOBAL_ROOT_[U|G]ID in 5ec27ec735ba0 ("fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c: fix the
default values of i_uid/i_gid on /proc/sys inodes"). This commit was
in 2019 and missed adjusting net_ctl_set_ownership.

I second this proposal. There is more to the story than a simple setting
of default values. IMO, you should mention how the missbehavior was
introduced in 5ec27ec735ba0 (fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c: fix the default
values of i_uid/i_gid on /proc/sys inodes.)

Indeed and I think it is because net_ctl_permissions set the mode in the
same way as test_perm does. Therefore regardless of the tests against
GLOBAL_ROOT_[U|G]ID being true or false mode gets right shifted by 6 and
3.

That seems to be the case. I think that should just be
GLOBAL_ROOT_[G|U]ID. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Are you proposing something like this in proc_sys_make_inode/

inode->i_uid = GLOBAL_ROOT_UID;
inode->i_gid = GLOBAL_ROOT_GID;
if (root->set_ownership)
root->set_ownership(head, table, &indoe->i_uid, &inode->i_gid)

?

I also think that could be a better option, as the caller is already
providing default values in some cases.
