3.16.7-ckt6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 378ff1a53b5724f3ac97b0aba3c9ecac072f6fcd upstream.
It really needs to check that src is non-directory *and* use
{un,}lock_two_nodirectories(). As it is, it's trivial to cause
double-lock (ioctl(fd, CIFS_IOC_COPYCHUNK_FILE, fd)) and if the
last argument is an fd of directory, we are asking for trouble
by violating the locking order - all directories go before all
non-directories. If the last argument is an fd of parent
directory, it has 50% odds of locking child before parent,
which will cause AB-BA deadlock if we race with unlink().
