Subject: Re: [PATCH] ovl: fail ovl_lock_rename_workdir() if either target is unhashed
Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2025 14:55:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251128065521.9509-1-hdanton@sina.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <176429295510.634289.1552337113663461690@noble.neil.brown.name>
#syz test upstream master
From: NeilBrown <neil@brown.name>
As well as checking that the parent hasn't changed after getting the
lock we need to check that the dentry hasn't been unhashed.
Otherwise we might try to rename something that has been removed.
Reported-by: syzbot+bfc9a0ccf0de47d04e8c@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Fixes: d2c995581c7c ("ovl: Call ovl_create_temp() without lock held.")
