This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled locks: have flock_lock_file take an inode pointer instead of a filp to the 4.1-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: locks-have-flock_lock_file-take-an-inode-pointer-instead-of-a-filp.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From bcd7f78d078ff6197715c1ed070c92aca57ec12c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton <jeff.layton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2015 06:43:02 -0400 Subject: locks: have flock_lock_file take an inode pointer instead of a filp From: Jeff Layton <jeff.layton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit bcd7f78d078ff6197715c1ed070c92aca57ec12c upstream. ...and rename it to better describe how it works. In order to fix a use-after-free in NFS, we need to be able to remove locks from an inode after the filp associated with them may have already been freed. flock_lock_file already only dereferences the filp to get to the inode, so just change it so the callers do that. All of the callers already pass in a lock request that has the fl_file set properly, so we don't need to pass it in individually. With that change it now only dereferences the filp to get to the inode, so just push that out to the callers. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jeff.layton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: "J.
