Subject: [PATCH] fix a mount write count leak in ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_locked() (was Re: [RFC] MNT_WRITE_HOLD mess)
Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2025 02:26:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250706012645.GB1880847@ZenIV> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250705185359.GZ1880847@ZenIV>
If the call of ksmbd_vfs_lock_parent() fails, we drop the parent_path
references and return an error. We need to drop the write access we
just got on parent_path->mnt before we drop the mount reference - callers
assume that ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_locked() returns with mount write
access grabbed if and only if it has returned 0.
Fixes: 864fb5d37163 "ksmbd: fix possible deadlock in smb2_open"
