[PATCH 4.7 03/41] vfs: fix deadlock in file_remove_privs() on overlayfs

Show all headers | View raw

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

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

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

commit c1892c37769cf89c7e7ba57528ae2ccb5d153c9b upstream.

file_remove_privs() is called with inode lock on file_inode(), which
proceeds to calling notify_change() on file->f_path.dentry.  Which triggers
the WARN_ON_ONCE(!inode_is_locked(inode)) in addition to deadlocking later
when ovl_setattr tries to lock the underlying inode again.

Fix this mess by not mixing the layers, but doing everything on underlying
dentry/inode.

Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
Fixes: 07a2daab49c5 ("ovl: Copy up underlying inode's ->i_mode to overlay inode")
