Subject: [PATCH v6 0/3] io_uring: add restrictions to support untrusted applications and guests

v6:
- moved restriction checks in a function [Jens]
- changed ret value handling in io_register_restrictions() [Jens]

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/[email protected]/
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/[email protected]/
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/[email protected]/
RFC v2: https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/[email protected]
RFC v1: https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/[email protected]

Following the proposal that I send about restrictions [1], I wrote this series
to add restrictions in io_uring.

I also wrote helpers in liburing and a test case (test/register-restrictions.c)
available in this repository:
https://github.com/stefano-garzarella/liburing (branch: io_uring_restrictions)

Just to recap the proposal, the idea is to add some restrictions to the
operations (sqe opcode and flags, register opcode) to safely allow untrusted
applications or guests to use io_uring queues.

The first patch changes io_uring_register(2) opcodes into an enumeration to
keep track of the last opcode available.

The second patch adds IOURING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS opcode and the code to
handle restrictions.

The third patch adds IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED flag to start the rings disabled,
allowing the user to register restrictions, buffers, files, before to start
processing SQEs.

Comments and suggestions are very welcome.

Thank you in advance,
Stefano

Subject: [PATCH v6 2/3] io_uring: add IOURING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS opcode

The new io_uring_register(2) IOURING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS opcode
permanently installs a feature allowlist on an io_ring_ctx.
The io_ring_ctx can then be passed to untrusted code with the
knowledge that only operations present in the allowlist can be
executed.

The allowlist approach ensures that new features added to io_uring
do not accidentally become available when an existing application
is launched on a newer kernel version.

Currently is it possible to restrict sqe opcodes, sqe flags, and
register opcodes.

IOURING_REGISTER_RESTRICTIONS can only be made once. Afterwards
it is not possible to change restrictions anymore.
This prevents untrusted code from removing restrictions.

v5:
- explicitly assigned enum values [Kees]
- replaced kmalloc/copy_from_user with memdup_user [kernel test robot]

v3:
- added IORING_RESTRICTION_SQE_FLAGS_ALLOWED and
IORING_RESTRICTION_SQE_FLAGS_REQUIRED
- removed IORING_RESTRICTION_FIXED_FILES_ONLY

RFC v2:
- added 'restricted' flag in the ctx [Jens]
- added IORING_MAX_RESTRICTIONS define
- returned EBUSY instead of EINVAL when restrictions are already
registered

Can you confirm that this intentionally limited the future range of
IORING_REGISTER opcodes to 0-255?

It was based on io_uring_probe, so we used u8 for opcodes, but we have
room to extend it in the future.

So, for now, this allow to register restrictions up to 255
IORING_REGISTER opcode.
