Subject: mnt: Protect the mountpoint hashtable with mount_lock
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3895dbf8985f656675b5bde610723a29cbce3fa7 upstream.
Protecting the mountpoint hashtable with namespace_sem was sufficient
until a call to umount_mnt was added to mntput_no_expire. At which
point it became possible for multiple calls of put_mountpoint on
the same hash chain to happen on the same time.
Kristen Johansen <kjlx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> reported:
> This can cause a panic when simultaneous callers of put_mountpoint
> attempt to free the same mountpoint. This occurs because some callers
> hold the mount_hash_lock, while others hold the namespace lock. Some
> even hold both.
>
> In this submitter's case, the panic manifested itself as a GP fault in
> put_mountpoint() when it called hlist_del() and attempted to dereference
> a m_hash.pprev that had been poisioned by another thread.
Al Viro observed that the simple fix is to switch from using the namespace_sem
to the mount_lock to protect the mountpoint hash table.
I have taken Al's suggested patch moved put_mountpoint in pivot_root
(instead of taking mount_lock an additional time), and have replaced
new_mountpoint with get_mountpoint a function that does the hash table
lookup and addition under the mount_lock. The introduction of get_mounptoint
ensures that only the mount_lock is needed to manipulate the mountpoint
hashtable.
d_set_mounted is modified to only set DCACHE_MOUNTED if it is not
already set. This allows get_mountpoint to use the setting of
DCACHE_MOUNTED to ensure adding a struct mountpoint for a dentry
happens exactly once.
