From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 26f204380a3c182e5adf1a798db0724d6111b597 upstream. The fcntl's F_SETOWN command sets the process that handle SIGIO/SIGURG for the related file descriptor. Before this change, the file_set_fowner LSM hook was always called, ignoring the VFS logic which may not actually change the process that handles SIGIO (e.g. TUN, TTY, dnotify), nor update the related UID/EUID. Moreover, because security_file_set_fowner() was called without lock (e.g. f_owner.lock), concurrent F_SETOWN commands could result to a race condition and inconsistent LSM states (e.g. SELinux's fown_sid) compared to struct fown_struct's UID/EUID. This change makes sure the LSM states are always in sync with the VFS state by moving the security_file_set_fowner() call close to the UID/EUID updates and using the same f_owner.lock . Rename f_modown() to __f_setown() to simplify code.
