4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 7fabaf303458fcabb694999d6fa772cc13d4e217 upstream. fuse_request_send_notify_reply() may fail if the connection was reset for some reason (e.g. fs was unmounted). Don't leak request reference in this case. Besides leaking memory, this resulted in fc->num_waiting not being decremented and hence fuse_wait_aborted() left in a hanging and unkillable state. Fixes: 2d45ba381a74 ("fuse: add retrieve request") Fixes: b8f95e5d13f5 ("fuse: umount should wait for all requests") Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+6339eda9cb4ebbc4c37b@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> #v2.6.36 Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/fuse/dev.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/fs/fuse/dev.c +++ b/fs/fuse/dev.c @@ -1771,8 +1771,10 @@ static int fuse_retrieve(struct fuse_con req->in.args[1].size = total_len; err = fuse_request_send_notify_reply(fc, req, outarg->notify_unique); - if (err) + if (err) { fuse_retrieve_end(fc, req); + fuse_put_request(fc, req); + } return err; }
