If two processes mount same superblock, memory leak occurs:
CPU0 | CPU1
do_new_mount | do_new_mount
fs_set_subtype | fs_set_subtype
kstrdup |
| kstrdup
memrory leak |
Fix this by adding a write lock while calling fs_set_subtype.
Linus's tree already have refactoring patchset [1], one of them can fix this bug:
c30da2e981a7 (fuse: convert to use the new mount API)
Since we did not merge the refactoring patchset in this branch, I create this patch.
[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-fsdevel/patch/20190903113640.7984-3-mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx/
Fixes: 79c0b2df79eb (add filesystem subtype support)
