From e5751c84402f62c8d5b30af96b04180c5c0ad48d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2018 17:51:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix __legitimize_mnt()/mntput() race commit 119e1ef80ecfe0d1deb6378d4ab41f5b71519de1 upstream. __legitimize_mnt() has two problems - one is that in case of success the check of mount_lock is not ordered wrt preceding increment of refcount, making it possible to have successful __legitimize_mnt() on one CPU just before the otherwise final mntpu() on another, with __legitimize_mnt() not seeing mntput() taking the lock and mntput() not seeing the increment done by __legitimize_mnt(). Solved by a pair of barriers. Another is that failure of __legitimize_mnt() on the second read_seqretry() leaves us with reference that'll need to be dropped by caller; however, if that races with final mntput() we can end up with caller dropping rcu_read_lock() and doing mntput() to release that reference - with the first mntput() having freed the damn thing just as rcu_read_lock() had been dropped. Solution: in "do mntput() yourself" failure case grab mount_lock, check if MNT_DOOMED has been set by racing final mntput() that has missed our increment and if it has - undo the increment and treat that as "failure, caller doesn't need to drop anything" case. It's not easy to hit - the final mntput() has to come right after the first read_seqretry() in __legitimize_mnt() *and* manage to miss the increment done by __legitimize_mnt() before the second read_seqretry() in there. The things that are almost impossible to hit on bare hardware are not impossible on SMP KVM, though...
