A race window in configfs, it starts from one dentry is UNHASHED and end
before configfs_d_iput is called. In this window, if a lookup happen,
since the original dentry was UNHASHED, so a new dentry will be
allocated, and then in configfs_attach_attr(), sd->s_dentry will be
updated to the new dentry. Then in configfs_d_iput(),
BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry) will be triggered and system panic.sys_open: sys_close:
... fput
dput
dentry_kill
__d_drop dentry still point
to this dentry.lookup_real
configfs_lookup
configfs_attach_attr---> update sd->s_dentry
to new allocated dentry here.d_kill
configfs_d_iput s_dentry != dentry)
triggered here.To fix it, change configfs_d_iput to not update sd->s_dentry if
sd->s_count > 2, that means there are another dentry is using the sd
beside the one that is going to be put. Use configfs_dirent_lock in
configfs_attach_attr to sync with configfs_d_iput.With the following steps, you can reproduce the bug.
1. enable ocfs2, this will mount configfs at /sys/kernel/config and
fill configure in it.2. run the following script.
while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done &
while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done &Signed-off-by: Junxiao Bi

The difference between "count" and "len" is that "len" is capped at
4095. Changing it like this makes it match how sysfs_write_file() is
implemented.This is a static analysis patch. I haven't found any store_attribute()
functions where this change makes a difference.Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.Acked-by: Serge Hallyn

fs rmdir method (except gfs2 and xfs) so it can be dealt with on a per-fs

configfs_readdir() will use the existing inode numbers of inodes in the
dcache, but it makes them up for attribute files that aren't currently
instantiated. There is a race where a closing attribute file can be
tearing down at the same time as configfs_readdir() is trying to get its
inode number.We want to get the inode number of open attribute files, because they
should match while instantiated. We can't lock down the transition
where dentry->d_inode is set to NULL, so we just check for NULL there.
We can, however, ensure that an inode we find isn't iput() in
configfs_d_iput() until after we've accessed it.Signed-off-by: Joel Becker

When configfs is faking mkdir() on its subsystem or default group
objects, it starts by adding a negative dentry. It then tries to
instantiate the group. If that should fail, it must clean up after
itself.I was using d_delete() here, but configfs_attach_group() promises to
return an empty dentry on error. d_delete() explodes with the entry
dentry. Let's try d_drop() instead. The unhashing is what we want for
our dentry.Signed-off-by: Joel Becker

Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.Patched with:
git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already
held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point).
However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any
caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy
dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

Make d_count non-atomic and protect it with d_lock. This allows us to ensure a

Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching
advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent,
and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback
anyway.This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning
much simpler.Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin
