Subject: [PATCH] NFSD: Don't hold unrefcounted creds over call to nfsd_setuser()
Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:35:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090702133532.28297.89635.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
nfsd_open() gets an unrefcounted pointer to the current process's effective
credentials at the top of the function, then calls nfsd_setuser() via
fh_verify() - which may replace and destroy the current process's effective
credentials - and then passes the unrefcounted pointer to dentry_open() - but
the credentials may have been destroyed by this point.
Instead, the value from current_cred() should be passed directly to
dentry_open() as one of its arguments, rather than being cached in a variable.
Possibly fh_verify() should return the creds to use.
