[v6.6][PATCH 18/57] eventfs: Test for ei->is_freed when accessing ei->dentry

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

 



From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The eventfs_inode (ei) is protected by SRCU, but the ei->dentry is not. It
is protected by the eventfs_mutex. Anytime the eventfs_mutex is released,
and access to the ei->dentry needs to be done, it should first check if
ei->is_freed is set under the eventfs_mutex. If it is, then the ei->dentry
is invalid and must not be used. The ei->dentry must only be accessed
under the eventfs_mutex and after checking if ei->is_freed is set.

When the ei is being freed, it will (under the eventfs_mutex) set is_freed
and at the same time move the dentry to a free list to be cleared after
the eventfs_mutex is released. This means that any access to the
ei->dentry must check first if ei->is_freed is set, because if it is, then
the dentry is on its way to be freed.

Also add comments to describe this better.
