[PATCHES] RCU pathwalk race fixes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	We still have some races in filesystem methods when exposed
to RCU pathwalk.  The series below is a result of code audit (the
second round of it) and it should deal with most of that stuff.
Exceptions: ntfs3 ->d_hash()/->d_compare() and ceph_d_revalidate().
Up to maintainers (a note for NTFS folks - when documentation says
that a method may not block, it *does* imply that blocking allocations
are to be avoided.  Really).

	Branch is 6.8-rc1-based; it lives in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git fixes.pathwalk-rcu

Individual patches are in followups; ditto for code audit notes.  Beginning
of the latter should probably be converted into docs; if anyone is willing
to help with such conversion, please say so - I'll be glad to answer any
questions, etc.

If somebody wants to grab bits and pieces of that series into individual
filesystem git trees, please say so.  Same for any problems spotted in
the patches, obviously.  If nothing shows up, that goes into #fixes and
into mainline.

Shortlog:
      fs/super.c: don't drop ->s_user_ns until we free struct super_block itself
      rcu pathwalk: prevent bogus hard errors from may_lookup()
      affs: free affs_sb_info with kfree_rcu()
      exfat: move freeing sbi, upcase table and dropping nls into rcu-delayed helper
      hfsplus: switch to rcu-delayed unloading of nls and freeing ->s_fs_info
      afs: fix __afs_break_callback() / afs_drop_open_mmap() race
      nfs: make nfs_set_verifier() safe for use in RCU pathwalk
      nfs: fix UAF on pathwalk running into umount
      procfs: move dropping pde and pid from ->evict_inode() to ->free_inode()
      procfs: make freeing proc_fs_info rcu-delayed
      fuse: fix UAF in rcu pathwalks
      cifs_get_link(): bail out in unsafe case
      ext4_get_link(): fix breakage in RCU mode
