3.6.11.7-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 33f1a63ae84dfd9ad298cf275b8f1887043ced36 ]
Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no
mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are
in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'.
First of all, this means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while
'ubifs_readdir()' uses it. But this particular patch does not fix the problem.
This patch is only a preparation, and the fix will follow next.
In this patch we make 'ubifs_readdir()' stop using 'file->f_pos' directly,
because 'file->f_pos' can be changed by '->llseek()' at any point. This may
lead 'ubifs_readdir()' to returning inconsistent data: directory entry names
may correspond to incorrect file positions.
So here we introduce a local variable 'pos', read 'file->f_pose' once at very
the beginning, and then stick to 'pos'. The result of this is that when
'ubifs_dir_llseek()' changes 'file->f_pos' while we are in the middle of
'ubifs_readdir()', the latter "wins".
