linux-stable.git/fs/cachefiles/namei.c, branch linux-4.7.y Linux kernel stable tree cachefiles: Fix attempt to read i_blocks after deleting file [ver #2] 2016-10-22T10:06:49+00:00 David Howells dhowells@redhat.com 2016-08-09T16:41:16+00:00 6a9e153b1ab4ef748f05b692a54800890ae23b09 commit a818101d7b92e76db2f9a597e4830734767473b9 upstream. An NULL-pointer dereference happens in cachefiles_mark_object_inactive() when it tries to read i_blocks so that it can tell the cachefilesd daemon how much space it's making available. The problem is that cachefiles_drop_object() calls cachefiles_mark_object_inactive() after calling cachefiles_delete_object() because the object being marked active staves off attempts to (re-)use the file at that filename until after it has been deleted. This means that d_inode is NULL by the time we come to try to access it. To fix the problem, have the caller of cachefiles_mark_object_inactive() supply the number of blocks freed up.

commit a818101d7b92e76db2f9a597e4830734767473b9 upstream.

An NULL-pointer dereference happens in cachefiles_mark_object_inactive()
when it tries to read i_blocks so that it can tell the cachefilesd daemon
how much space it's making available.

The problem is that cachefiles_drop_object() calls
cachefiles_mark_object_inactive() after calling cachefiles_delete_object()
because the object being marked active staves off attempts to (re-)use the
file at that filename until after it has been deleted.  This means that
d_inode is NULL by the time we come to try to access it.

To fix the problem, have the caller of cachefiles_mark_object_inactive()
supply the number of blocks freed up.

Without this, the following oops may occur:

(2) POLLIN is signalled if the number of files released becomes greater than 0.

cachefilesd finds this information by the following means:

 (1) When the control fd is read, the kernel presents a list of values of
     interest.  "freleased=N" and "breleased=N" are added to this list to
     indicate the number of files released and number of blocks released
     since the last read call.  At this point the counters are reset.

 (2) POLLIN is signalled if the number of files released becomes greater
     than 0.

Note that by 'released' it just means that the kernel has released its
interest in those files for the moment, not necessarily that the files
should be deleted from the cache.

Cachefiles: Fix up scripted S_ISDIR/S_ISREG/S_ISLNK conversions

Fix up the following scripted S_ISDIR/S_ISREG/S_ISLNK conversions (or lack
thereof) in cachefiles:

 (1) Cachefiles mostly wants to use d_can_lookup() rather than d_is_dir() as
     it doesn't want to deal with automounts in its cache.

 (2) Coccinelle didn't find S_IS* expressions in ASSERT() statements in
     cachefiles.
