<id>c285a2f01d692ef48d7243cf1072897bbd237407</id>
<content type='text'>
When implementing connector fsid cache, we only initialized the cache
when the first mark added to object was added by FAN_REPORT_FID group.
We forgot to update conn-&gt;fsid when the second mark is added by
FAN_REPORT_FID group to an already attached connector without fsid
cache.

__fsnotify_parent() has an optimization in place to avoid unneeded
take_dentry_name_snapshot().  When fsnotify_nameremove() was changed
not to call __fsnotify_parent(), we left out the optimization.

Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This patchset makes it possible to retrieve pidfds at process creation
  time by introducing the new flag CLONE_PIDFD to the clone() system
  call. Linus originally suggested to implement this as a new flag to
  clone() instead of making it a separate system call.

  After a thorough review from Oleg CLONE_PIDFD returns pidfds in the
  parent_tidptr argument. This means we can give back the associated pid
  and the pidfd at the same time. Access to process metadata information
  thus becomes rather trivial.

  As has been agreed, CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on
  anonymous inodes similar to the new mount api. They are made
  unconditional by this patchset as they are now needed by core kernel
  code (vfs, pidfd) even more than they already were before (timerfd,
  signalfd, io_uring, epoll etc.). The core patchset is rather small.
  The bulky looking changelist is caused by David's very simple changes
  to Kconfig to make anon inodes unconditional.

  A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel
  supports procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in
  the callers pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status
  file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d".

  To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes
  with a sample/test program that illustrates how a combination of
  CLONE_PIDFD and pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free
  access to process metadata through /proc/&lt;pid&gt;.

  Further work based on this patchset has been done by Joel. His work
  makes pidfds pollable. It finished too late for this merge window. I
  would prefer to have it sitting in linux-next for a while and send it
  for inclusion during the 5.3 merge window"

<title>fsnotify: Fix NULL ptr deref in fanotify_get_fsid()</title>

<content type='text'>
fanotify_get_fsid() is reading mark-&gt;connector-&gt;fsid under srcu. It can
happen that it sees mark not fully initialized or mark that is already
detached from the object list. In these cases mark-&gt;connector
can be NULL leading to NULL ptr dereference. Fix the problem by
being careful when reading mark-&gt;connector and check it for being NULL.
Also use WRITE_ONCE when writing the mark just to prevent compiler from
doing something stupid.

fanotify_get_fsid() is reading mark-&gt;connector-&gt;fsid under srcu. It can
happen that it sees mark not fully initialized or mark that is already
detached from the object list. In these cases mark-&gt;connector
can be NULL leading to NULL ptr dereference. Fix the problem by
being careful when reading mark-&gt;connector and check it for being NULL.
Also use WRITE_ONCE when writing the mark just to prevent compiler from
doing something stupid.
