ceph: fix multifs mds auth caps issue
The mds auth caps check should also validate the
fsname along with the associated caps. Not doing
so would result in applying the mds auth caps of
one fs on to the other fs in a multifs ceph cluster.
The bug causes multiple issues w.r.t user
authentication, following is one such example.
Steps to Reproduce (on vstart cluster):
1. Create two file systems in a cluster, say 'fsname1' and 'fsname2'
2. Authorize read only permission to the user 'client.usr' on fs 'fsname1'
$ceph fs authorize fsname1 client.usr / r
3. Authorize read and write permission to the same user 'client.usr' on fs 'fsname2'
$ceph fs authorize fsname2 client.usr / rw
4. Update the keyring
$ceph auth get client.usr >> ./keyring
With above permssions for the user 'client.usr', following is the
expectation.
a. The 'client.usr' should be able to only read the contents
and not allowed to create or delete files on file system 'fsname1'.
b. The 'client.usr' should be able to read/write on file system 'fsname2'.
But, with this bug, the 'client.usr' is allowed to read/write on file
system 'fsname1'. See below.
5. Mount the file system 'fsname1' with the user 'client.usr'
$sudo bin/mount.ceph [email protected]=/ /kmnt_fsname1_usr/
6. Try creating a file on file system 'fsname1' with user 'client.usr'. This
should fail but passes with this bug.
$touch /kmnt_fsname1_usr/file1
7. Mount the file system 'fsname1' with the user 'client.admin' and create a
file.
$sudo bin/mount.ceph [email protected]=/ /kmnt_fsname1_admin
$echo "data" > /kmnt_fsname1_admin/admin_file1
8. Try removing an existing file on file system 'fsname1' with the user
'client.usr'. This shoudn't succeed but succeeds with the bug.
$rm -f /kmnt_fsname1_usr/admin_file1
For more information, please take a look at the corresponding mds/fuse patch
and tests added by looking into the tracker mentioned below.
