[PATCH v3 1/4] ovl: use insert_inode_locked4() to hash a newly created inode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently, there is a small window where ovl_obtain_alias() can
race with ovl_instantiate() and create two different overlay inodes
with the same underlying real non-dir non-hardlink inode.

The race requires an adversary to guess the file handle of the
yet to be created upper inode and decode the guessed file handle
after ovl_creat_real(), but before ovl_instantiate().

This patch fixes the race, by using insert_inode_locked4() to add
a newly created inode to icache.

If the newly created inode apears to already exist in icache (hashed
by the same real upper inode), we export this error to user instead
of silently not hashing the new inode.

This race does not affect overlay directory inodes, because those
are decoded via ovl_lookup_real() and not with ovl_obtain_alias(),
so avoid using the new helper d_instantiate_new() to reduce backport
dependencies.

Backporting only makes sense for v4.16 where NFS export was introduced.
