commit 72386d5245 upstream.
The CephFS kernel driver forgets to set the filesystem magic signature in
its superblock. As a result, IMA policy rules based on fsmagic matching do
not apply as intended. This causes a major performance regression in Talos
Linux [1] when mounting CephFS volumes, such as when deploying Rook Ceph
[2]. Talos Linux ships a hardened kernel with the following IMA policy
(irrelevant lines omitted):
[...]
dont_measure fsmagic=0xc36400 # CEPH_SUPER_MAGIC
[...]
measure func=FILE_CHECK mask=^MAY_READ euid=0
measure func=FILE_CHECK mask=^MAY_READ uid=0
[...]
Currently, IMA compares 0xc36400 == 0x0 for CephFS files, resulting in all
files opened with O_RDONLY or O_RDWR getting measured with SHA512 on every
open(2):
10 69990c87e8af323d47e2d6ae4... ima-ng sha512:<hash> /data/cephfs/test-file
Since O_WRONLY is rare, this results in an order of magnitude lower
performance than expected for practically all file operations. Properly
setting CEPH_SUPER_MAGIC in the CephFS superblock resolves the regression.
Tests performed on a 3x replicated Ceph v19.3.0 cluster across three
i5-7200U nodes each equipped with one Micron 7400 MAX M.2 disk (BlueStore)
and Gigabit ethernet, on Talos Linux v1.10.2:

This applies outside of synthetic benchmarks as well, for example, the time
to rsync a 55 MiB directory with ~12k of mostly small files drops from an
unusable 10m5s to a reasonable 26s (23x the throughput).
