[PATCH 4.7 29/31] ima: use file_dentry()

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 e71b9dff0634edb127f449e076e883ef24a8c76c upstream.

Ima tries to call ->setxattr() on overlayfs dentry after having locked
underlying inode, which results in a deadlock.

Reported-by: Krisztian Litkey <kli@iki.fi>
Fixes: 4bacc9c9234c ("overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay")
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
Cc: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
