From 20aac6c60981f5bfacd66661d090d907bf1482f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2022 17:26:29 -0400 Subject: __follow_mount_rcu(): verify that mount_lock remains unchanged Validate mount_lock seqcount as soon as we cross into mount in RCU mode. Sure, ->mnt_root is pinned and will remain so until we do rcu_read_unlock() anyway, and we will eventually fail to unlazy if the mount_lock had been touched, but we might run into a hard error (e.g. -ENOENT) before trying to unlazy. And it's possible to end up with RCU pathwalk racing with rename() and umount() in a way that would fail with -ENOENT while non-RCU pathwalk would've succeeded with any timings. Once upon a time we hadn't needed that, but analysis had been subtle, brittle and went out of window as soon as RENAME_EXCHANGE had been added. It's narrow, hard to hit and won't get you anything other than stray -ENOENT that could be arranged in much easier way with the same priveleges, but it's a bug all the same.
