Subject: [PATCH 2/4] do_umount(): add missing barrier before refcount checks in sync case
Date: Thu, 8 May 2025 21:01:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250508200137.GE2023217@ZenIV> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250508195916.GC2023217@ZenIV>
do_umount() analogue of the race fixed in 119e1ef80ecf "fix
__legitimize_mnt()/mntput() race". Here we want to make sure that
if __legitimize_mnt() doesn't notice our lock_mount_hash(), we will
notice their refcount increment. Harder to hit than mntput_no_expire()
one, fortunately, and consequences are milder (sync umount acting
like umount -l on a rare race with RCU pathwalk hitting at just the
wrong time instead of use-after-free galore mntput_no_expire()
counterpart used to be hit). Still a bug...
Fixes: 48a066e72d97 ("RCU'd vfsmounts")
