hugetlbfs: enforce F_SEAL_EXEC in setattr
Commit 6fd735518263 ('mm/memfd: add F_SEAL_EXEC') added the F_SEAL_EXEC
seal to memfd, with the corresponding enforcement implemented in
shmem_setattr(): once F_SEAL_EXEC is set, fchmod() of any of the execute
bits (S_IXUSR|S_IXGRP|S_IXOTH) is rejected with -EPERM.
The hugetlbfs equivalent in hugetlbfs_setattr() was missed, even though
hugetlbfs memfd files carry the same 'info->seals' bitmap and the same
F_SEAL_EXEC bit can be added through memfd_create(... MFD_HUGETLB ...)
plus fcntl(F_ADD_SEALS, F_SEAL_EXEC). As a result, the seal is silently
ignored on hugetlbfs memfds and fchmod() may turn execute bits back on
after the seal has been applied.
Mirror the shmem check in hugetlbfs_setattr() so that ATTR_MODE changes
that flip any execute bit on a sealed inode return -EPERM. This also
fixes the memfd_test 'hugetlbfs' SEAL-EXEC subtest, which previously
aborted on:
tools/testing/selftests/memfd# ./memfd_test hugetlbfs
memfd-hugetlb: CREATE
memfd-hugetlb: BASIC
memfd-hugetlb: SEAL-EXEC
memfd-hugetlb: Apply SEAL_EXEC
fchmod(/memfd:kern_memfd_seal_exec (deleted), 00777) didn't fail as expected
Aborted (core dumped) ./memfd_test hugetlbfs
