Here's a collection of patches that containerises the kernel keys and makes
it possible to separate keys by namespace.  This can be extended to any
filesystem that uses request_key() to obtain the pertinent authentication
token on entry to VFS or socket methods.

I have this working with AFS and AF_RXRPC so far, but it could be extended
to other filesystems, such as NFS and CIFS.

The following changes are made:

 (1) Add optional namespace tags to a key's index_key.  This allows the
     following:

     (a) Automatic invalidation of all keys with that tag when the
     	 namespace is removed.

     (b) Mixing of keys with the same description, but different areas of
     	 operation within a keyring.

     (c) Sharing of cache keyrings, such as the DNS lookup cache.

     (d) Diversion of upcalls based on namespace criteria.

 (2) Provide each network namespace with a tag that can be used with (1).
     This is used by the DNS query, rxrpc, nfs idmapper keys.

     [!] Note that it might still be better to move these keyrings into the
     	 network namespace.

 (3) Provide key ACLs.  These allow:

     (a) The permissions can be split more finely, in particular separating
     	 out Invalidate and Join.

     (b) Permits to be granted to non-standard subjects.  So, for instance,
     	 Search permission could be granted to a container object, allowing
     	 a search of the container keyring by a denizen of the container to
     	 find a key that they can't otherwise see.

 (4) Provide a kernel container object.  Currently, this is created with a
     system call and passed flags that indicate the namespaces to be
     inherited or replaced.  It might be better to actually use something
     like fsconfig() to configure the container by setting key=val type
     options.

     The kernel container object provides the following facilities:

     (a) request_key upcall interception.  The manager of a container can
     	 intercept requests made inside the container and, using a series
     	 of filters, can cause the authkeys to be placed into keyrings that
     	 serve as queues for one or more upcall processing programs.  These
     	 upcall programs use key notifications to monitor those keyrings.

     (b) Per-container keyring.  A keyring can be attached to the container
     	 such that this is searched by a request_key() performed by a
     	 denizen of the container after searching the thread, process and
     	 session keyrings.  The keyring and the keys contained therein must
     	 be granted Search for that container.

	 This allows:

 	 (i) Authenticated filesystems to be used transparently inside of
	     the container without any cooperation from the occupant
	     thereof.  All the key maintenance can be done by the manager.

         (ii) Keys to be made available to the denizens of a container (by
             granting extra permissions to the container subject).

     (c) Per-container ID that can be used in audit messages.

     (d) Container object creation gives the manager a file descriptor that
     	 can:

	 (i) Be passed to a dirfd parameter to a VFS syscall, such as
     	     mkdirat(), allowing an operation to be done inside the
     	     container.

         (ii) Be passed to fsopen()/fsconfig() to indicate that the target
             filesystem is going to be created inside a container, in that
             container's namespaces.

         (iii) Be passed to the move_mount() syscall as a destination for
             setting the root filesystem inside a new mount namespace made
             upon container creation.

     (e) The ability to configure the container with namespaces or
     	 whatever, and then fork a process into that container to 'boot'
     	 it.


Three sample programs are provided:

 (1) test-container.  This:

	- Creates a kernel container with a blank mount ns.
	- Creates its root mount and moves it to the container root.
	- Mounts /proc therein.
	- Creates a keyring called "_container"
	  - Sets that as the container keyring.
	  - Grants Search permission to the container on that keyring.
	  - Removes owner permission on that keyring.
	- Creates a sample user key "foobar" in the container keyring.
	  - Grants various permissions to the container on that key.
	- Creates a keyring called "upcall"
	  - Intercepts "user" key upcalls from the container to there.
	- Forks a process into the container
	  - Prints the container keyring ID if it can
	  - Exec's bash.

     This program expects to be given the device name for a partition it
     can mount as the root and expects it to contain things like /etc,
     /bin, /sbin, /lib, /usr containing programs that can be run and /proc
     to mount procfs upon.  E.g.:

	./test-container /dev/sda3

 (2) test-upcall.  This is a service program that monitors the "upcall"
     keyring created by test-container for authkeys appearing, which it
     then hands off to /sbin/request-key.  This:

	- Opens /dev/watch_queue.
	  - Sets the size to 1 page.
	  - Sets a filter to watch for "Link creation" key events.
	  - Sets a watch on the upcall keyring.
	- Polls the watch queue for events
	- When an event comes in:
	  - Gets the authkey ID from the event buffer.
	  - Queries the authkey.
	  - Forks of a handler which:
	    - Moves the authkey to its thread keyring
	    - Sets up a new session keyring with the authkey in it.
	    - Execs /sbin/request-key.

     This can be run in a shell that shares the session keyring with
     test-container, from which it will find the upcall keyring.
     Alternatively, the keyring ID can be provided on the command line:

	./test-upcall [<upcall-keyring>]

     It can be triggered from inside of the container with something like:

	keyctl request2 user debug:e a @s

     and something like:

	ptrs h=4 t=2 m=2000003
	NOTIFY[00000004-00000002] ty=0003 sy=0002 i=01000010
	KEY 78543393 change=2 aux=141053003
	Authentication key 141053003
	- create 779280685
	- uid=0 gid=0
	- rings=0,0,798528519
	- callout='a'
	RQDebug keyid: 779280685
	RQDebug desc: debug:e
	RQDebug callout: a
	RQDebug session keyring: 798528519

     will appear on stdout/stderr from it and /sbin/request-key.

 (3) test-cont-grant.  This is a program to make the nominated key
     available to a container's denizens.  It:

	- Grants search permission to the nominated key.
	- Links the nominated key into the container keyring.

     It can be run from outside of the keyring like so:

	./test-cont-grant <key> [<container-keyring>]

     If the keyring isn't given, it will look for one called "_container"
     in the session keyring where test-container is expected to have placed
     it.

     With kAFS, it can be used like follows:

	kinit dhowells@REDHAT.COM
	kafs-aklog redhat.com

     which would log into kerberos and then get a key for accessing an AFS
     cell called "redhat.com".  This can be seen in the session keyring by
     calling "keyctl show":

	 120378984 --alswrv      0     0  keyring: _ses
	 474754113 ---lswrv      0 65534   \_ keyring: _uid.0
	  64049961 --alswrv      0     0   \_ rxrpc: afs@redhat.com
	  78543393 --alswrv      0     0   \_ keyring: upcall
	 661655334 --alswrv      0     0   \_ keyring: _container
	 639103010 --alswrv      0     0       \_ user: foobar

     Then doing:

	./test-cont-grant 64049961

     will result in:

	 120378984 --alswrv      0     0  keyring: _ses
	 474754113 ---lswrv      0 65534   \_ keyring: _uid.0
	  64049961 --alswrv      0     0   \_ rxrpc: afs@procyon.org.uk
	  78543393 --alswrv      0     0   \_ keyring: upcall
	 661655334 --alswrv      0     0   \_ keyring: _container
	 639103010 --alswrv      0     0       \_ user: foobar
	  64049961 --alswrv      0     0       \_ rxrpc: afs@procyon.org.uk

     Inside the container, the cell could be mounted:

	mount -t afs "%redhat.com:root.cell" /mnt

     and then operations in /mnt will be done using the token that has been
     made available.  However, this can be overridden locally inside the
     container by doing kinit and kafs-aklog there with a different user.

     More to the point, the container manager could mount the container's
     rootfs, say, over authenticated AFS and then attach the token to the
     container and mount the rootfs into the container and the container's
     inhabitant need not have any means to gain a kerberos login.

     [?] I do wonder if the possibility to use container key searches for
     	 direct mounts should be controlled by a mount option, say:

		fsconfig(fsfd, FSCONFIG_SET_CONTAINER, NULL, NULL, cfd);

         where you have to have the container handle available.

     [!] Note that test-cont-grant picks the container by name and does not
     	 require the container handle when setting the key ACL - but the
     	 name must come from the set of children of the current container.

Note that this is dependent on the mount-api-viro, fsinfo, notifications
and keys-namespace branches.

Shouldn't Eric Biederman be cc'd on this?

So you missed the main mailing lists for discussion of this kind of
thing, and the maintainer.  So I have reservations about the quality of
your due diligence already.

Looking at your description you are introducing a container id.
You don't descibe which namespace your contianer id lives in.
Without the container id living in a container this breaks
nested containers and process migration aka CRIU.

So based on the your description.

Yeah, sorry about that.  I was primarily aiming it at Trond and Steve as I'd
like to consider how to go about interpolating request_key() into NFS and CIFS
so that they can make use of the key-related facilities that this makes
available with AFS.  And I was in a bit tight for time to mail it out before
having to go out.  I know, excuses... ;-)

That would be me.  I maintain keyrings.

No one is listed in MAINTAINERS as owning namespaces.  If you feel that should
be you, please add a record.

Yes.  For audit logging, which was why I cc'd Richard.

It doesn't.  Not everything has to have a namespace.  As you yourself pointed
out, it should be globally unique, in which case the world is the namespace,
maybe even the universe;-).

As long as IDs are globally unique, why should break container migration?
Having a kernel container object might even make CRIU easier.

And what does "Without the container id living in a container" mean anyway?  I
have IDs attached to containers.  A container can see the IDs of its child
containers.  There should be no problem with nesting.

Not to pile on, but it is more important to CC the audit mailing list.
You can obviously still CC Richard, but you should send it to the
entire mailing list.

/me puts on kernel hat:
I'm not neccessarily opposed to making containers kernel objects even
though I have been for quite a while (for brevity I'll use "kcontainers"
for this). But I think the approach taken here is a little misguided.
This patchsets pushes the argument that kcontainers are needed because
of keyrings and authenticated filesystems and is designed around this
use-case. Imho, that is bound to fall short of requirements and
use-cases that have been piling up over the years.
If we want to make kcontainers a thing we need to have a separate
discussion and a separate patchset that is *solely* concerned with
creating a kcontainer api. And frankly, that is likely going to take a
long time.
At this point containers have become a real "thing" on Linux - like it
or not. So justifying it to making them in-kernel citizens doesn't need
the detour over keyrings or something else. We should just discuss
whether we think that the benefits of kcontainers (e.g. security)
outweight the costs (e.g. maintenance).

/me puts on runtime maintainer hat:
One thing that is true is that userspace containers (let's call them
"ucontainers") as implemented by runtimes today will not go away. We
have been living with this ad-hoc concept and it's various
implementations on upstream Linux at least since 2008. And kernels
without kcontainers will be with us until the end of (Linux)time
probably. So anyone who thinks that kcontainers will replace ucontainers
and that'll be it will be thoroughly disappointed in the end.
It is also very likely that not all use-cases we can currently cover
with ucontainers can be covered by kcontainers. Now that might be ok but
if we ever introduce kcontainers through a proper kernel api we will end
up maintaining ucontainers and kcontainers simultaneously. That's a
burden we shouldn't underestimate.

I am interested in this discussion because I have gotten various questions
about using Containers better on SMB3 mounts, and the question about
doing request_key better comes up **a lot** on SMB3 mounts (not just
for kerberos, Active Directory), and usability could be improved of some
of the cifs-utils that cifs.ko depends on.

Note that various virtualization/container identify features were added to the
protocol a few years ago (which we don't yet implement in Linux) but which
probably be **very** useful to followup on how these could be exposed
to help containers on network mounts in Linux.    See in particular this
new protocol feature (implemented by various servers including Windows
but not by Linux client yet) described in the protocol spec (MS-SMB2 section
2.2.9.2.1) - the "SMB2_REMOTED_IDENTITY_TREE_CONNECT context"
which can be sent at mount time:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-smb2/ee7ff411-93e0-484f-9f73-31916fee4cb8

This may be of interest to Samba server developers as well
