4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5ec0811d30378ae104f250bfc9b3640242d81e3f upstream. When the first propgated copy was a slave the following oops would result: > BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010 > IP: [<ffffffff811fba4e>] propagate_one+0xbe/0x1c0 > PGD bacd4067 PUD bac66067 PMD 0 > Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP > Modules linked in: > CPU: 1 PID: 824 Comm: mount Not tainted 4.6.0-rc5userns+ #1523 > Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2007 > task: ffff8800bb0a8000 ti: ffff8800bac3c000 task.ti: ffff8800bac3c000 > RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff811fba4e>] [<ffffffff811fba4e>] propagate_one+0xbe/0x1c0 > RSP: 0018:ffff8800bac3fd38 EFLAGS: 00010283 > RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff8800bb77ec00 RCX: 0000000000000010 > RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffff8800bb58c000 RDI: ffff8800bb58c480 > RBP: ffff8800bac3fd48 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000000 > R10: 0000000000001ca1 R11: 0000000000001c9d R12: 0000000000000000 > R13: ffff8800ba713800 R14: ffff8800bac3fda0 R15: ffff8800bb77ec00 > FS: 00007f3c0cd9b7e0(0000) GS:ffff8800bfb00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 > CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 > CR2: 0000000000000010 CR3: 00000000bb79d000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 > Stack: > ffff8800bb77ec00 0000000000000000 ffff8800bac3fd88 ffffffff811fbf85 > ffff8800bac3fd98 ffff8800bb77f080 ffff8800ba713800 ffff8800bb262b40 > 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffff8800bac3fdd8 ffffffff811f1da0 > Call Trace: > [<ffffffff811fbf85>] propagate_mnt+0x105/0x140 > [<ffffffff811f1da0>] attach_recursive_mnt+0x120/0x1e0 > [<ffffffff811f1ec3>] graft_tree+0x63/0x70 > [<ffffffff811f1f6b>] do_add_mount+0x9b/0x100 > [<ffffffff811f2c1a>] do_mount+0x2aa/0xdf0 > [<ffffffff8117efbe>] ? strndup_user+0x4e/0x70 > [<ffffffff811f3a45>] SyS_mount+0x75/0xc0 > [<ffffffff8100242b>] do_syscall_64+0x4b/0xa0 > [<ffffffff81988f3c>] entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 > Code: 00 00 75 ec 48 89 0d 02 22 22 01 8b 89 10 01 00 00 48 89 05 fd 21 22 01 39 8e 10 01 00 00 0f 84 e0 00 00 00 48 8b 80 d8 00 00 00 <48> 8b 50 10 48 89 05 df 21 22 01 48 89 15 d0 21 22 01 8b 53 30 > RIP [<ffffffff811fba4e>] propagate_one+0xbe/0x1c0 > RSP <ffff8800bac3fd38> > CR2: 0000000000000010 > ---[ end trace 2725ecd95164f217 ]--- This oops happens with the namespace_sem held and can be triggered by non-root users. An all around not pleasant experience. To avoid this scenario when finding the appropriate source mount to copy stop the walk up the mnt_master chain when the first source mount is encountered. Further rewrite the walk up the last_source mnt_master chain so that it is clear what is going on. The reason why the first source mount is special is that it it's mnt_parent is not a mount in the dest_mnt propagation tree, and as such termination conditions based up on the dest_mnt mount propgation tree do not make sense. To avoid other kinds of confusion last_dest is not changed when computing last_source. last_dest is only used once in propagate_one and that is above the point of the code being modified, so changing the global variable is meaningless and confusing. fixes: f2ebb3a921c1ca1e2ddd9242e95a1989a50c4c68 ("smarter propagate_mnt()") Reported-by: Tycho Andersen <tycho.andersen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
