Subject: [PATCH 1/1] locks: prevent side-effects of locks_release_private before file_lock is initialized
Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2012 23:06:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1339815965-1171-2-git-send-email-filbranden@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1339815965-1171-1-git-send-email-filbranden@gmail.com>

When calling fcntl(F_SETLEASE) for a second time on the same fd, do_fcntl_add_lease
will allocate and initialize a new file_lock, then if __vfs_setlease decides to
reuse the existing file_lock it will free the newly allocated one to prevent leaking
memory.

However, the new file_lock was initialized to the point where it has a valid file
descriptor pointer and lmops, so calling locks_free_lock will trigger a call to
lease_release_private_callback which will have the side effect of clearing the
fcntl(F_SETOWN) and fcntl(F_SETSIG) settings for the file descriptor even though
that was not supposed to happen at that point.

This patch will fix this by calling kmem_cache_free(filelock_cache, fl) instead of
locks_free_lock(fl) if the file_lock is not completely initialized and actually
associated to the file descriptor, avoiding the call to lease_release_private_callback
with the undesired side effects.
