This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled eventfs: Have eventfs_iterate() stop immediately if ei->is_freed is set to the 6.7-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: eventfs-have-eventfs_iterate-stop-immediately-if-ei-is_freed-is-set.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From SRS0=eEWY=JP=rostedt.homelinux.com=rostedt@xxxxxxxxxx Tue Feb 6 12:33:31 2024 From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2024 06:32:02 -0500 Subject: eventfs: Have eventfs_iterate() stop immediately if ei->is_freed is set To: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx>, Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>, Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx>, Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <20240206113358.729003384@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit e109deadb73318cf4a3bd61287d969f705df278f upstream. If ei->is_freed is set in eventfs_iterate(), it means that the directory that is being iterated on is in the process of being freed. Just exit the loop immediately when that is ever detected, and separate out the return of the entry->callback() from ei->is_freed.
