Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] statmount: don't call path_put() under namespace semaphore
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2025 07:59:15 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251016115915.3270405-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025101533-mutt-routing-a332@gregkh>

From: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit e8c84e2082e69335f66c8ade4895e80ec270d7c4 ]

Massage statmount() and make sure we don't call path_put() under the
namespace semaphore. If we put the last reference we're fscked.

Fixes: 46eae99ef733 ("add statmount(2) syscall")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v6.8+
