Subject: [PATCH] ksmbd: fix use-after-free in oplock break notification

smb2_oplock_break_noti() reads opinfo->conn without any lock and
dereferences it after two allocations which may sleep.  When the
durable handle owning the oplock is disconnected, session_fd_check()
clears opinfo->conn and drops its conn reference under ci->m_lock, and
the last ksmbd_conn_put() frees the connection.  A break triggered by
another connection that races with the teardown can then resurrect the
freed connection: ksmbd_conn_get() is a plain atomic_inc, and the
queued break work later dereferences the stale conn via
ksmbd_conn_write(), a use-after-free reachable by any authenticated
client holding a durable batch oplock.

Thread the caller's inode into the notification path instead of taking
a new reference on it.  Every caller of oplock_break() already holds a
live ksmbd_file (or an explicit ksmbd_inode_lookup_lock() reference,
in the parent lease break paths) on the inode that owns the break
target's oplock list, so ci cannot be freed during the call, and its
lock can be taken without dereferencing opinfo->o_fp, which a
concurrent close may free.  Select and pin the connection under
ci->m_lock, the same lock session_fd_check() and
ksmbd_reopen_durable_fd() use to update opinfo->conn, so a concurrent
detach either loses the race to the clear or keeps the connection
alive until the notification work releases it.  Transfer the reference
to the work item and release it on allocation failures.

[PATCH 6.18.y] ksmbd: fix use-after-free in oplock break notification

[Abdifatah Suruur]

smb2_oplock_break_noti() reads opinfo->conn without any lock and
dereferences it after two allocations which may sleep.  When the
durable handle owning the oplock is disconnected, session_fd_check()
clears opinfo->conn and drops its conn reference under ci->m_lock, and
the last ksmbd_conn_put() frees the connection.  A break triggered by
another connection that races with the teardown can then resurrect the
freed connection: ksmbd_conn_get() is a plain atomic_inc, and the
queued break work later dereferences the stale conn via
ksmbd_conn_write(), a use-after-free reachable by any authenticated
client holding a durable batch oplock.

Thread the caller's inode into the notification path instead of taking
a new reference on it.  Every caller of oplock_break() already holds a
live ksmbd_file (or an explicit ksmbd_inode_lookup_lock() reference,
in the parent lease break paths) on the inode that owns the break
target's oplock list, so ci cannot be freed during the call, and its
lock can be taken without dereferencing opinfo->o_fp, which a
concurrent close may free.  Select and pin the connection under
ci->m_lock, the same lock session_fd_check() and
ksmbd_reopen_durable_fd() use to update opinfo->conn, so a concurrent
detach either loses the race to the clear or keeps the connection
alive until the notification work releases it.  Transfer the reference
to the work item and release it on allocation failures.

[ This tree predates the deferred break machinery
  (oplock_break_add()/oplock_break_drain_none()) that the original
  commit is layered on; oplock_break() here calls the notifier
  directly and the caller-pinning argument is unchanged. ]
