2016-01-11 14:07:17 Colin Ian King description Following the process documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess , the following template needs to be filled in to start the MIR for zfs-linux in 16.04 [Availability] [Rationale] [Security] [Quality assurance] [Dependencies] [Standards compliance] [Maintenance] [Background information] Following the process documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess , the following template needs to be filled in to start the MIR for zfs-linux in 16.04 Below are my answers to the various main inclusion requirements, marked by a * prefix: [Availability]: "The package must already be in the Ubuntu universe, and must build for the architectures it is designed to work on." * http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/admin/zfsutils-linux * Yes - built for 64 bit arches only, because ZFS is designed to run well only on 64 bit architectures. [Rationale]: "There must be a certain level of demand for the package, for example: The package is useful for a large part of our user base." * Yes - there is a lot of interest in ZFS in the server space and for users wanting to use a file system that supports huge collections of disks with excellent reliable features such as checksummed raid, mirroring striping with easy configuration and also simple data sanity checking and fixing. * Being requested by Kiko "The package is a new build dependency or dependency of a package that we already support (additionally, the official image builder requires all used packages be in main)." * Yes, already in Wily as a technology demo. "The package helps meet a specific Blueprint goal." * No blueprint goal. "The package replaces another package we currently support and promises higher quality and/or better features, so that we can drop the old package from the supported set." * Not applicable [Security]: "The security history and the current state of security issues in the package must allow us to support the package for at least 18 months without exposing its users to an inappropriate level of security risks. This requires checking of several things that are explained in detail in the subsection Security checks." "Check how many vulnerabilities the package had in the past and how they were handled by upstream and the Debian/Ubuntu package:" "http://cve.mitre.org/cve/cve.html: Search in the National Vulnerability Database using the package as a keyword" NO ZFS Linux CVEs found, here is the complete list from Mitre: CVE-2015-1415 The bsdinstall installer in FreeBSD 10.x before 10.1 p9, when configuring full disk encrypted ZFS, uses world-readable permissions for the GELI keyfile (/boot/encryption.key), which allows local users to obtain sensitive key information by reading the file. CVE-2015-0448 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Sun Solaris 11.2 allows local users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via vectors related to ZFS File system. CVE-2013-3266 The nfsrvd_readdir function in sys/fs/nfsserver/nfs_nfsdport.c in the new NFS server in FreeBSD 8.0 through 9.1-RELEASE-p3 does not verify that a READDIR request is for a directory node, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code by specifying a plain file instead of a directory. CVE-2011-2313 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Solaris 10 allows local users to affect availability, related to ZFS. CVE-2011-2312 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Solaris 10 allows local users to affect confidentiality, related to ZFS. CVE-2011-2311 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Solaris 10 allows local users to affect availability, related to ZFS. CVE-2011-2286 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Solaris 10 and 11 Express allows remote authenticated users to affect availability, related to ZFS. CVE-2010-4458 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Solaris 11 Express allows local users to affect availability, related to ZFS. CVE-2010-3540 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris allows local users to affect availability, related to ZFS. CVE-2010-2392 Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris allows local users to affect integrity and availability, related to ZFS. CVE-2010-0318 The replay functionality for ZFS Intent Log (ZIL) in FreeBSD 7.1, 7.2, and 8.0, when creating files during replay of a setattr transaction, uses 7777 permissions instead of the original permissions, which might allow local users to read or modify unauthorized files in opportunistic circumstances after a system crash or power failure. CVE-2009-3706 Unspecified vulnerability in the ZFS filesystem in Sun Solaris 10, and OpenSolaris snv_100 through snv_117, allows local users to bypass intended limitations of the file_chown_self privilege via certain uses of the chown system call.

If any are present, this requires a more in-depth security review." "Executables which have the suid or sgid bit set." * Not applicable "Executables in /sbin, /usr/sbin." * Applicable. This requires security review "Packages which install daemons (/etc/init.d/*)" * Applicable. This requires security review "Packages which open privileged ports (ports < 1024)." * Not applicable "Add-ons and plugins to security-sensitive software (filters, scanners, UI skins, etc)" * Not applicable [Quality assurance] "After installing the package it must be possible to make it working with a reasonable effort of configuration and documentation reading." * Will work "out-of-the-box" once zfsutils-linux installed with 4.4 kernel * Quick start ZFS reference guide written: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Reference/ZFS * Package contains main pages "The package must not ask debconf questions higher than medium if it is going to be installed by default. The debconf questions must have reasonable defaults." * Does not apply. "There are no long-term outstanding bugs which affect the usability of the program to a major degree. To support a package, we must be reasonably convinced that upstream supports and cares for the package." * We have good upstream support from ZFS maintainers, response to bugs file upstream is within 24 hours "The status of important bugs in Debian's, Ubuntu's, and upstream's bug tracking systems must be evaluated. Links to these bug trackers need to be provided in the MIR report. Important bugs must be pointed out and discussed in the MIR report." Upsteam bug tracking: ZFS - https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues SPL - https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/issues Ubuntu bug tracking: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux Resolved bugs: LP#1521952 Add dependency on dh-systemd for zfs-linux LP#1513124 Fix FTBFSs on ppc64el and arm64 "The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu (check out the Debian PTS)" Maintained by Kernel team in sync with kernel Testing: We have several sets of ZFS specific regression tests in the kernel team autotest test infrastructure: * The ZFS test suite: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/autotest-client-tests.git/tree/ubuntu_zfs * fstest (Linux POSIX file system test suite) http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/autotest-client-tests.git/tree/ubuntu_zfs_fstest * ZFS I/O stress tests: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/autotest-client-tests.git/tree/ubuntu_zfs_stress * XFS generic tests on ZFS: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/autotest-client-tests.git/tree/ubuntu_zfs_xfs_generic Note: currently working on a adt set of tests for ZFS to cover core features as as set of kernel team smoke tests. [Dependencies]: All build and binary dependencies (including Recommends:) must be satisfyable in main (i. e. the preferred alternative must be in main). If not, these dependencies need a separate MIR report (this can be a separate bug or another task on the main MIR bug) zfs-linux: * autotools-dev - Yes * autoconf - Yes * autogen - Yes * automake - Yes * debhelper - Yes * dh-autoreconf - Yes * dh-systemd - Yes * dkms - Yes * libselinux1-dev - Yes * libtool - Yes * uuid-dev - Yes * zlib1g-dev - Yes [Standards compliance] "Standards compliance: The package should meet the FHS and Debian Policy standards. Major violations should be documented and justified. Also, the source packaging should be reasonably easy to understand and maintain." Yes, I believe so. [Maintenance] "The package must have an acceptable level of maintenance corresponding to its complexity: Simple packages (e.g. language bindings, simple Perl modules, small command-line programs, etc.) might not need very much maintenance effort, and if they are maintained well in Debian we can just keep them synced More complex packages will usually need a developer or team of developers paying attention to their bugs, whether that be in Ubuntu or elsewhere (often Debian). Packages that deliver major new headline features in Ubuntu need to have commitment from Ubuntu developers willing to spend substantial time on them." * Falls into the complex package category. Colin King will primarily maintain this package, with ownership owned and covered by the Canonical Kernel Team. We have already performed SRU on ZFS in Wily, showing we have the means to actively support this package. "All packages must have a designated "owning" team, regardless of complexity, which is set as a package bug contact." * Yes, Canononical Kernel Team https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team [Background information] "The package descriptions should explain the general purpose and context of the package. Additional explanations/justifications should be done in the MIR report." * Yes, package description covers the scope of the package "If the package was renamed recently, or has a different upstream name, this needs to be explained in the MIR report." The ZFS on Linux provides ZFS packaged under the debian-zfs. Debian provides zfsutils for *BSD based kernels (kFreeBSD). The package name zfsutils-linux was chosen for Linux based arches.
