do_exit has called exit_fs(tsk) [
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4-rc2/source/kernel/exit.c#L867 ]

exit_fs(tsk) has set tsk->fs = NULL [
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4-rc2/source/fs/fs_struct.c#L103
]

I think this then bites in d_path() where it calls:

      get_fs_root_rcu(current->fs, &root);   [
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4-rc2/source/fs/d_path.c#L285 ]

current->fs is likely NULL here.

If this was correct it would have nothing to do with the actual
patch,
though, but rather with the fact that smack logs on process
termination. I am not sure what the solution would be other than
testing for current->fs == NULL in d_path before using it and
returning an error that is not normally returned or trying to
intercept this case in smack.
I have now been able to recreate the syzbot issue with the test
program
and the issue is exactly the one described here, current->fs == NULL.

Earlier in this thread, Amir had a diagnosis that IMA is
inappropriately
trying to use f_path directly instead of using the helpers that are
friendly for stacking filesystems.

I'm not an IMA hacker so I'm not planning to roll a fix here. Perhaps
someone on the IMA team could try this approach?

I have applied this patch here from Amir now and it does NOT resolve
the issue:

This seems to resolve the issue:

Based on what I see here I can understand that this prevents the panic,
but it isn't so clear what changed that introduced the problem.

Apparently, it's this patch:

     db1d1e8b9867 IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get the i_version
Yes, the syzbot was updated with that info.

At one time, IMA would reach directly into the inode to get the
i_version and ctime. That was fine for certain filesystems, but with
more recent changes it needs to go through ->getattr instead. Evidently,
it's selecting the wrong inode to query when dealing with overlayfs and
that's causing panics at times.

As to why the above patch helps, I'm not sure, but given that it doesn't
seem to change which inode is being queried via getattr, it seems like
this is probably papering over the real bug. That said, IMA and
overlayfs are not really in my wheelhouse, so I could be very wrong
here.
The call to vfs_getattr_nosec() somehow triggers a call to
security_inode_getattr().  Without the call neither ovl_getattr() nor
smack_inode_getattr() would be called.
ima_file_free()
-> ima_check_last_writer()
    -> vfs_getattr_nosec()
       -> i_op->getattr() == ovl_getattr()
          -> vfs_getattr()
             -> security_inode_getattr()
	    -> real_i_op->getattr()

is the callchain that triggers this.

ima_file_free() is called in a very sensitive location: __fput() that
can be called from task work when the process is already PF_EXITING.

The ideal solution would be for ima to stop calling back into the
filesystems in this location at all but that's probably not going to
happen because I now realize you also set extended attributes from
__fput():


ima_check_last_writer()
-> ima_update_xatt()
    -> ima_fix_xattr()
       -> __vfs_setxattr_noperm()

The __vfs_setxattr_noperm() codepath can itself trigger
security_inode_post_setxattr() and security_inode_setsecurity(). So
those hooks are hopefully safe to be called with PF_EXITING tasks as
well...

LSM inode_post_setxattr has two users, Smack and SELinux. Smack does not call smack_log/audit in this case. SELinux seems safe as well.

LSM inode_setsecurity has two users, Smack and SELinux. Smack does not call smack_log/audit in this case. SELinux seems safe as well.



Imho, this is all very wild but I'm not judging.

Two solutions imho:
(1) teach stacking filesystems like overlayfs and ecryptfs to use
     vfs_getattr_nosec() in their ->getattr() implementation when they
     are themselves called via vfs_getattr_nosec(). This will fix this by
     not triggering another LSM hook.
(2) make all ->getattr() LSM hooks PF_EXITING safe ideally don't do
     anything

Re (2): LSM's getattr should still make policy decision, right? So callers should be allowed to go to some depth into these functions but avoid calls deeper into smack_log (for example) that trigger the call path
  common_lsm_audit
   -> dump_common_audit_data
    -> audit_log_d_path via a->type LSM_AUDIT_DATA_PATH or LSM_AUDIT_DATA_FILE or  LSM_AUDIT_DATA_IOCTL_OP and then possibly run into current->fs == NULL in d_path.

To avoid audit_log_d_path being called the a->type should not be either one of the 3 mentioned above:

LSM_AUDIT_DATA_PATH: used by Smack & SELinux
LSM_AUDIT_DATA_FILE: used by SELinux
LSM_AUDIT_DATA_IOCTL: used by SELinux


The LSM getattr has users AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and Tomoyo.

Tomoyo: seems safe
SELinux:

selinux_inode_getattr
  -> path_has_perm  [ sets LSM_AUDIT_DATA_FILE !! ]
    -> inode_has_perm
     -> avc_has_perm
      -> avc_audit
        -> slow_avc_audit
          -> common_lsm_audit
           -> dump_common_audit_data
            -> audit_log_d_path
             -> d_path
              -> get_fs_root_rcu with current->fs = NULL

Smack: (the known path per this syzbot issue)

smack_inode_getattr   [ sets LSM_AUDIT_DATA_PATH !! ]
  -> smk_curacc
    -> smk_tskacc
      -> smack_log
       -> common_lsm_audit
         -> dump_common_audit_data
           -> audit_log_d_path
             -> d_path
              -> get_fs_root_rcu with current->fs = NULL

AppArmor:

apparmor_inode_getattr
  -> common_perm_cond
     -> common_perm
       -> aa_path_perm
          -> profile_path_perm
              -> aa_path_perm
                 -> aa_audit_file      [ sets LSM_AUDIT_DATA_TASK ]
                    -> aa_audit
                     -> aa_audit_msg
                       -> common_lsm_audit
                        -> dump_common_audit_data
                          -> DOES NOT call audit_log_d_path but calls task_tgid_nr(tsk)


So, SELinux and Smack would be affected. The common code path starts with common_lsm_audit and either a check for current->flags & PF_EXITING or a more fine-grained one like this here could be a solution for (2)
