Subject: [ 20/26] UBIFS: prepare to fix a horrid bug
Date: Mon,  1 Jul 2013 13:10:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130701200732.168244578@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130701200729.872850414@linuxfoundation.org>

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

commit 33f1a63ae84dfd9ad298cf275b8f1887043ced36 upstream.

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no
mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are
in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'.

First of all, this means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while
'ubifs_readdir()' uses it.  But this particular patch does not fix the problem.
This patch is only a preparation, and the fix will follow next.

In this patch we make 'ubifs_readdir()' stop using 'file->f_pos' directly,
because 'file->f_pos' can be changed by '->llseek()' at any point. This may
lead 'ubifs_readdir()' to returning inconsistent data: directory entry names
may correspond to incorrect file positions.

So here we introduce a local variable 'pos', read 'file->f_pose' once at very
the beginning, and then stick to 'pos'. The result of this is that when
'ubifs_dir_llseek()' changes 'file->f_pos' while we are in the middle of
'ubifs_readdir()', the latter "wins".
