| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: check a submount for references right before unmounting it
shrink_submounts() and mark_mounts_for_expiry() first collect all the
mounts they are allowed to unmount and then unmount them.
Whether a mount is busy is decided by propagate_mount_busy() on the
tree. But unmounting the first mount changes the tree that the second
one propagates into. propagate_umount()
moves a surviving overmount off a copy it unmounts and mounts it where
the copy was mounted. If that's where the propagated copy of the second
victim is looked up the overmount becomes a candidate of the second
umount_tree(). It's childless and so trim_one() commits it without
looking at its reference count.
So a synchronous umount pulls out a busy mount that is in use somewhere
else and marks it MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT while it has users:
umount2(/tmp/plshrink/p1, 0) = 0 errno 0
cwd is (unreachable)
The same two umounts requested one after the other fail with EBUSY.
This needs a mount with MNT_SHRINKABLE, i.e., automounted submounts of
NFS, AFS and CIFS or the tracefs mount below debugfs. Bind mounts
inherit the flag.
Check each mount right before it is unmounted under the same hold of
namespace_sem and mount_lock as the umount itself. Make sure that the
algorithm stays linear. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: check a recursive bind mount for mount namespace loops
do_loopback() refuses to bind mount the file of a mount namespace that
is as old as the caller's or older because a mount namespace that holds
a mount of its own file, or of an ancestor's, would cause a cycle. But
it only checks the dentry the bind mount starts from. With MS_REC
everything below it is copied and do_loopback() passes
CL_COPY_MNT_NS_FILE so mount namespace files below the source are
copied.
That's fine for a source in the caller's own mount namespace. Every
mount namespace file in there passed the same check when it was
bind-mounted. It isn't fine for a source in another mount namespace.
may_copy_tree() accepts a bind mount of any nsfs or pidfs file no matter
what mount namespace it lives in so that /proc/<pid>/ns/<ns> and pidfds
can be bind mounted. If we create a bind-mount stack of mount namespaces
file descriptors the kernel will copy them irrespective of their
ancestoral relationship to the mount namespace in question:
151 146 0:7 net:[4026531833] /tmp/nrc/y rw - nsfs nsfs rw
152 151 0:7 mnt:[4026532293] /tmp/nrc/y rw - nsfs nsfs rw
Mount 152 is a mount of the mount namespace file of mount namespace
4026532293 inside mount namespace 4026532293. That namespace and every
mount in it are leaked... All it takes is a process in an older mount
namespace that stacks the file and repeating it leaks without limit:
after control: Shmem: 380 kB
child: mount(/proc/self/fd/6, MS_BIND|MS_REC): ok
after cycle: Shmem: 65916 kB
do_move_mount() runs check_for_nsfs_mounts() over a detached tree for
exactly that reason. Do the same for the copy before it is grafted. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: keep covered mounts covered in OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE
open_tree(OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE) creates a new mount namespace from a
copy of the tree at the given path. The caller needs to be privileged
over its current user namespace because the new mount namespace will be
owned by it. It doesn't need to be privileged over the mount namespace
the tree is copied from. An unprivileged user just needs to create a
user namespace first.
The copy follows the rules of a detached bind mount. Without
AT_RECURSIVE only the mount itself is cloned and its children are left
out. With AT_RECURSIVE unbindable mounts are skipped. Both is fine when
the caller has privileges over the source mount namespace because it
could unmount those mounts anyway. Not so for an unprivileged user in
that mount namespace. For them a mount namespace copy is what unshare()
does. copy_mnt_ns() copies everything including unbindable mounts and
lock_mnt_tree() makes sure nothing can be unmounted in the copy. Nothing
that was covered gets revealed.
create_new_namespace() only does the locking and so the covered content
is right there in the new mount namespace:
# mount -t tmpfs none /tmp/otn; mkdir /tmp/otn/covered
# echo hidden > /tmp/otn/covered/under.txt
# mount -t tmpfs none /tmp/otn/covered
uid 1000, after unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER):
fd = open_tree(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/otn", OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE);
setns(fd, CLONE_NEWNS);
open("/covered/under.txt", O_RDONLY) -> "hidden"
Covering paths with mounts is how container runtimes mask parts of
/proc and /sys and how admins hide things.
When the caller's user namespace doesn't own the source mount namespace
copy the way unshare() does and refuse a non-recursive copy of a mount
that has anything mounted below the requested directory and copy
unbindable mounts in a recursive copy. A caller that is privileged over
the source mount namespace sees no change. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: look at the topmost mount for a mount namespace file
attach_recursive_mnt() preallocates a mountpoint for the root of the
topmost mount of the source so that a mount that already sits at the
destination can be put on top of the source or on top of one of its
propagated copies.
The copies are made without CL_COPY_MNT_NS_FILE so their chain of
overmounts is shorter than the source's. It ends below the first bind
mount of a mount namespace file. So while the loop walks up the chain of
the source it remembers the mountpoint of that mount in "shorter" and
the existing mount is put there for the copies.
But the loop ends at the topmost mount without ever looking at it. If
the topmost mount is the only mount namespace file in the chain
"shorter" stays NULL and mnt_change_mountpoint() attaches the existing
mount of the copy below the root of the mount namespace file. That's a
dentry of nsfs. No path walk in the copy's mount namespace ever gets
there. The mount is gone until its parent goes and the copy that took
its place can't be unmounted synchronously because it has a child:
S bind mount of a file
N bind mount of a mount namespace file on top of S
A shared mount, B a slave of A, Q mounted on B/file
move_mount(S, A/file)
cat B/file -> the content of S instead of Q
umount B/file -> EBUSY
Look at every mount of the chain including the topmost one. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: remove the fsnotify marks of a mount namespace in process context
mnt_ns_release() drops the last passive reference of a mount namespace
and removes its fanotify marks via fsnotify_mntns_delete(). That takes
the mutex of every group with a mark on the namespace and the spinlock
of the connector. Fine from process context. But mnt_ns_tree_remove()
hands the reference the namespace was allocated with to call_rcu() and
so the marks are removed from the RCU softirq:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:623

mnt_ns_release_rcu+0x57/0xa0

and lockdep complains about the connector lock being taken from softirq
context. A fanotify group with a FAN_MARK_MNTNS mark on the mount
namespace of another task is all that's needed. Root in a user
namespace can do that for a mount namespace it owns. The task exits and
the namespace is freed with the mark still on it.
Remove the marks in free_mnt_ns() before the namespace is handed to RCU.
That runs in process context once the last active reference is gone. A
mark is added through a file descriptor to the namespace which holds an
active reference so no mark can show up after that. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: check the mounts before reading their parents in pivot_root()
path_pivot_root() reads the parents of new_root and of the caller's root
and checks whether they are shared before it checks that either mount is
in the caller's mount namespace. Only namespace_sem is held. That's fine
for a mount that is in the caller's mount namespace.
But new_root can be a file descriptor to a mount that has been unmounted
and that only the file descriptor keeps alive. If that mount stayed
attached to its parent when it was unmounted nothing pins the parent for
it. The final mntput() of the parent unhooks the children under
mount_lock alone and frees the parent afterwards:
pivot_root() close(fd), last ref on the parent
------------ ---------------------------------
ex_parent = new_mnt->mnt_parent
mntput_no_expire_slowpath()
__umount_mnt(new_mnt)

The same goes for the caller's root via chroot(). Both outcomes of the
check end in EINVAL so nothing but the read itself goes wrong. It's the
same thing commit bb4609405752 ("statmount: read the parent of an
unmounted mount under mount_lock") fixed for statmount().
Check that both mounts are in the caller's namespace before their
parents are read. Every path returns EINVAL either way. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dcache: don't put a mountpoint on a dentry that's being removed
rmdir(), unlink() and rename() call dont_mount() on the victim and then
detach_mounts() with the victim's inode locked. do_lock_mount() takes
the inode lock of the mountpoint and checks cant_mount() so a mount
can't show up after detach_mounts().
But attach_recursive_mnt() makes a second mountpoint for the root of the
source mount so that the mounts already located at the destination can
be put on top of it. No inode is locked for that one and d_set_mounted()
only refuses a dentry that is unlinked. Between detach_mounts() and
d_delete() the victim is still hashed:
rmrace: b passed dont_mount() and detach_mounts(), sleeping
T2: move_mount(S, /tmp/plcant/x, BENEATH) = 0 errno 0 ()
T1: rmdir(/tmp/plcant/d/b) = 0 errno 0
109 107 0:61 /d/b//deleted /tmp/plcant/x rw,relatime - tmpfs tmpfs rw
108 109 0:63 / /tmp/plcant/x rw,relatime - tmpfs T rw
A bind mount of the directory that's being removed is moved beneath an
existing mount while the rmdir() is located between the two calls. The
mount ends up on the removed directory and nothing will ever detach it.
Check cant_mount() in d_set_mounted() as well. dont_mount() raises the
flag under d_lock before detach_mounts() runs so either the mountpoint
is set first and detach_mounts() finds the mount or the flag is seen and
the mount is refused. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
unshare: don't drop active namespace references that were never taken
Active references on the namespaces of an nsproxy are taken when the
nsproxy is installed into a task in switch_task_namespaces() and
copy_namespaces() and dropped again by put_nsproxy() through
deactivate_nsproxy().
But ksys_unshare() calls put_nsproxy() on an nsproxy that was never
installed when set_cred_ucounts() fails. The new namespaces of that
nsproxy go from zero to minus one and the namespaces shared with the
caller lose a reference that belongs to the nsproxy the caller keeps
using:
WARNING: kernel/nscommon.c:171 at __ns_ref_active_put+0x1cd/0x230
nsproxy_ns_active_put
deactivate_nsproxy
ksys_unshare
Afterwards the namespaces the caller lives in aren't listed by listns()
anymore. set_cred_ucounts() only fails when alloc_ucounts() can't
allocate and it only allocates when the real uid of the caller differs
from its effective uid.
Commit cefd55bd2159 ("nsproxy: fix free_nsproxy() and simplify
create_new_namespaces()") separated the two cases on purpose.
nsproxy_free() frees an nsproxy that was prepared but never installed
and that's what a failed setns() uses in put_nsset(). Export it and use
it for a failed unshare() as well. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: don't let a pseudo dentry become the root of a mount
d_alloc_pseudo() hands out dentries for pipes, sockets and other files
that are never anyone's child or parent. They carry DCACHE_NORCU and
dentry_free() frees them right away because no lockless path walk can
ever reach them. That holds as long as such a dentry isn't the root of
a mount. But bind mounting /proc/self/fd/<fd> of such a file does
exactly that.
Most callers of alloc_file_pseudo() put their files on kernel-internal
mounts and may_copy_tree() refuses those. bpf_token_create() doesn't. It
places the token file on the bpffs mount the caller handed it and that
mount is in the caller's mount namespace so the clone goes through:
mount --bind /proc/self/fd/<token> <file>
open_tree(tokfd, "", AT_EMPTY_PATH | OPEN_TREE_CLONE) + move_mount()
__follow_mount_rcu() then loads ->mnt_root of that mount, reads d_seq
and d_flags of the dentry and only then checks mount_lock. The dentry
can be gone by then. The final mntput() of an unmounted parent unhooks
a child that stayed attached to it under mount_lock alone. When the
child's holder does the final put right after that the root is dput()
and freed immediately while a walker that found the mount hashed still
looks at it.
Refuse to clone a mount with a DCACHE_NORCU dentry as its root. Nothing
sensible can be done with a bind mount of a bpf token anyway. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: unhash a dentry before detaching the mounts on it
unlink(), rmdir() and rename() remove the entry from the filesystem,
call detach_mounts() on the entry with the inode locked and then call
d_delete() once the inode is unlocked.
The thing is that between detach_mounts() and d_delete() the dentry is
still hashed and positive. But after detach_mounts() nothing covers the
dentry anymore. A lookup that finds this dentry in the dcache can
uncover what the mounts hid.
That's a problem when unlinking files or directories that are
mountpoints in other mount namespaces. Everybody who had the underlying
entry covered can race the detach_mount() call until d_delete() has run.
The race window isn't all that small. It encompasses namespace_unlock()
with a full synchronize_rcu_expedited() grace period and the
inode_unlock() of the entry.
In my experiments three walkers that kept trying read an overmounted
file in 11938 of the 16140 unlinks that removed its mountpoint from a
bind mount of the filesystem within a minute.
Fun fact, d_invalidate() has the same ordering problem but gets it
right. It unhashes the dentry first and detaches the mounts afterwards.
Let's do the same in __detach_mounts():
- A lookup that hasn't found the dentry yet misses it in the dcache and
waits for the directory lock that the caller holds until the name is
gone for good.
- A lockless lookup that found it already fails the mount_lock check
while the dentry still counts as a mountpoint and the d_seq check once
it doesn't, and retries.
This fixes the lockless path. We still need to fix the reference count
lookup in a follow-up patch.
So d_drop() the dentry. The dentry stays positive and held but can't be
found anymore. Then proceed with the detach and unlink.
Reproducer:
The reads were counted with the program below, three walkers for 60 s
in a VM with 4 CPUs. The race window is stretched with the debug patch
pasted here. fs.detach_race_walk_us sleeps in lookup_fast() once it
found a mountpoint dentry and before its mounts are crossed.
fs.detach_race_unlink_us sleeps in vfs_unlink() between detach_mounts()
and d_delete().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namei: don't reveal overmounted entries in refwalk
In rcuwalk the dentry is validated before it is accepted. step_into()
step_into() rechecks d_seq and __follow_mount_rcu() rechecks mount_lock.
An entry that gets unlinked in between causes the lookup to retry and
miss.
A refwalk doesn't do this. lookup_fast() takes a reference on the hashed
dentry and simply accepts it. So an unlink that happens after the
reference was taken isn't seen by refwalk. That's fine for a simple
file. We just happened to open it before it was unlinked, no problem.
For a mountpoint and specifically a locked mountpoint it very much
isn't. The unlink detaches all mounts and then removes the name. Any
refwalk that hasn't traversed the mounts yet simply reveals the
underlying entry. It's a very narrow window but it can be hit:
reads of a covered file in 60 s, 3 walkers, ~15000 unlinks
no widening 27
that step + 200 us 3741
See the appended patch for a more reliable reproducer.
So check the entry after step_into(). unlink(), rmdir() and rename()
mark the dentry with dont_mount() before they detach the mounts and
remove the dentry.
So a dentry that is marked with DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT and is unhashed by the
time its mounts were looked at is a name that was unlinked under the
refwalk. DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT is read after the mounts were looked up and
it is set before they are detached by detach_mounts(). A refwalk that
missed the mounts will see DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT.
Plain d_unlinked() is fine. A rename takes the dentry off its hash chain
but ___d_drop() leaves d_hash.pprev set. So only __d_drop() and a rename
over the dentry unhash it. The only move that flips IS_ROOT splices in a
disconnected alias. That doesn't have DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT set.
Add the to step_into_slowpath(). ".." and LOOKUP_DOWN may legitimately
land on an unhashed directory. A refwalk that crossed onto a mount has
path.mnt different from nd->path.mnt. A dentry that a filesystem dropped
on its own (d_invalidate(), d_drop()) doesn't have the flag set and is
treated as before.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: refuse an automount below a mount that is in no namespace
It's possible to add autmounts even when the parent mount isn't in the
mount namespace of the caller. The only requirement we have is that the
parent mount namespace must not be NULL, i.e., unmounted.
Problem is that clone_private_mount() has MNT_NS_INTERNAL which makes
that trivially true. So that passes the test and attach_recursive_mnt()
accepts that as a mount point and funny enough, count_mounts()
dereferences MNT_NS_INTERNAL. The problem is it is an error pointer...
So we can reach this in userspace via fanotify. A filesystem mark on the
lower filesystem of an overlay reports paths on the layer clone and
reading the event hands out a descriptor on it. For example with debugfs
as the lower layer it goes kaboom:
openat(evfd, "tracing", O_DIRECTORY)
Oops: general protection fault
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x1d0-0x1d7]
RIP: 0010:count_mounts+0x35/0x200
attach_recursive_mnt
finish_automount
And since that sleeping beauty happens under namespace_sem held for
writing every mount operation on the system blocks from then on.
Congrats.
Use is_mounted() instead which rejects unmounted and internal mounts
alike. The open fails with EINVAL just as it did before
clone_private_mount() used MNT_NS_INTERNAL. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: never expire a locked mount
Locked mounts are special. They protect the underlying files and
directories from being revealed. do_umount() refuses to unmount locked
mounts but shrink_submounts() doesn't.
A shrinkable mount can become locked once the owner of a user namespace
puts it beneath a locked mount with MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH. The locked
property now moves to the mount at the bottom making it possible to
unmount the top mount.
So umount() of an unlocked ancestor now expires the bottom mount first
and the covered directory is revealed:
move_mount(c -> x/hidden, MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH) = 0
the cover after the lock moved: umount2(x/hidden) = 0
the holder of the lock: umount2(x/hidden) = EINVAL
the root of the copy, busy: umount2(x) = EBUSY
reads x/hidden/secret: "covered-by-root"
So leave a locked mount alone as it dies together with its parent. A
plain umount() of an unlocked mount with a locked one below it is EBUSY
from now on. It's the same for any other locked child. A lazy umount
still takes the whole tree.
mark_mounts_for_expiry() never sees a locked mount. lock_mnt_tree()
leaves a mount on an expiry list alone and nothing else puts a locked
one on such a list. Add an assert for this. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: handle mount locking for automounts correctly
If mounts are propagated across user namespaces, attach_recursive_mnt()
locks every copy of the source mount to protect overmounts from
vanishing and revealing the underlying files or directories.
The user namespace is taken from the caller's mount namespaces since
this is where the mounts end up. Except, that's not always true.
Automounts may legitimately get popped in by tasks located in a
different mount and user namespace during path lookup.
Then check doesn't make sense at that point. The copy in the namespace
of the parent - which may be the host's - is now locked and the host
cannot change the flags of its own mounts anymore.
Here's the reproducer:
- host has debugfs mounted nosuid,nodev,noexec and shared
- tracefs automount below it is not yet active
- hand a child process a directory descriptor on that mount
- child process enters auser and mount namespace
- child process' namespace now holds a locked copy of the host's debugfs
mount that receives propagation from it
- child process stats "tracing/." through the descriptor
- lookup runs on the host's mount so the automount lands below the host's mount
- propagation puts a copy below the child's copy
- both try to clear the flags on the mount they got, with a bind remount:
host, on its own automount: MS_REMOUNT|MS_BIND = EPERM
child, on the copy in its namespace: MS_REMOUNT|MS_BIND = 0
So the lock landed on the host's mount instead of the child's copy.
Congrats. So we need to compare with the owner of the namespace the
mount actually gets mounted on. For all regular cases that is the
caller's mount namespace and so nothing changes.
Detached trees in anonymous mount namespaces by be handed over via
SCM_RIGHTS or inherited in other ways on purpose so the attaching task's
mount namespace is authoritative, not the creator of the detached tree. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
namespace: keep the lock on a mount that a propagated copy is moved beneath
attach_recursive_mnt() transfers MNT_LOCKED from the top mount to the
mount that is moved beneath it with MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH. This allows the
owner of a user namespace to replace its locked /proc or its root. The
mount beneath takes on the job of covering the underlying mountpoint
allowing the top mount to be unmounted.
Consider two mount namespaces:
(H) The host H has a shared mount P with a secret in P/d
(Z) Z is a user namespace made from M. Its copy of P receives
propagation from the host's P and its copy of M's cover on P/d is
locked Z's owner must not get to see P/d.
Now (H) mounts X on P/d. This propagates into (Z). The copy of X lands
beneath (Z)'s locked cover. The locked property is transfered from (Z)'s
cover to the copy of X propagated beneath it. The cover is now unlocked.
Now (H) unmounts X again. The copy of X in (Z) gets unmounted and the
covering mount is left unlocked on top of P/d. (Z) can now unmount it:
Z: umount2(P/d) = EINVAL /* the cover is locked */
H: mount X on P/d, umount X /* both propagate into Z /*
Z: umount2(P/d) = 0 /* the cover is now unlocked */
Z: read P/d/secret = "covered-by-root" /* secret revealed */
So only transfer the locked property to the mount beneath for mounts the
caller has placed. A propagated copy that lands beneath a locked mount
is locked as well so that the mount at the bottom of the stack carries a
lock the way every check expects. The mount on top of it remains locked
to ensure that it keeps covering even if the propagated mount is
unmounted again. |

xfs: stop exchanging reflink flags when exchanging mappings
When an exchange covers both files from offset 0 to i_disk_size,
xmi_can_exchange_reflink_flags() assumes every mapping moved and hands
the reflink flag over to the other file.
That assumption is wrong. A file can still own shared blocks past
i_disk_size, e.g. after EXCHANGE_RANGE_TO_EOF sets a smaller size
without unmapping anything. The flag is cleared anyway, and the next
write to such a block happens in place instead of CoW, corrupting the
other file that shares it.
Commit a23eca88448e ("xfs: fix exchange-range reflink flag clearing
issue with INO1_WRITTEN") fixed one instance of this. Rather than add
another special case, stop moving the flags.
xfs_exchmaps_ensure_reflink() already sets the flag on both inodes
before the exchange, so both just keep it.
Nothing sets CLEAR_INO{1,2}_REFLINK anymore. Intents logged by older
kernels may still carry them; recovery already masks them off, so they
stay in the log format mask and are ignored.
XFS_IOC_SWAPEXT has the same problem: it moves the reflink flag from
one inode to the other along with the extents. Just removing that is
not enough here: the exchange path flags both inodes up front in
xfs_exchmaps_ensure_reflink(), but swapext has no such step, so the
inode receiving the shared extents would be left without the flag.
Set it on both inodes instead, and make sure both have a CoW fork,
since an inode with the reflink flag is expected to have one.
The flag now stays until FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE, xfs_scrub, or a
truncate to zero removes it. |

xfs: fix exchange-range-to-eof file size exchange
Norbert Szetei posted a patch containing an incomplete description of a
bug in XFS_IOC_EXCHANGE_RANGE's TO_EOF flag. The bug tricks
exchange-range into modifying a file so that it has shared blocks
starting beyond EOF, which is never allowed because files never have
written data beyond EOF, and you can only share written data blocks.
This is key to all the incorrect behavior that follows.
Eventually I got from Norbert a description of what's going wrong:

So yes, TO_EOF is screwing up the file size even if it's actually
exchanging the data block correctly. The following is the intended
behavior of XFS_EXCHANGE_RANGE_TO_EOF, as described by its manpage:
"Ignore the length parameter. All bytes in file1_fd from file1_offset
to EOF are moved to file2_fd, and file2's size is set to
(file2_offset+(file1_length-file1_offset)). Meanwhile, all bytes in
file2 from file2_offset to EOF are moved to file1 and file1's size is
set to (file1_offset+(file2_length-file2_offset))."
In other words, if we only exchange a portion of the file data, then we
should only exchange the portion of the file size that relates to the
exchanged data. Unfortunately, the code swaps the ondisk file size and
the incore file sizes, which is incorrect if the caller passes in a
nonzero offset.
Having confused the file sizes, the PoC uses a second exchange-range
call on what looks like a non-reflinked single-block file. Because the
file size is set incorrectly, exchange-range thinks it's exchanging the
full contents of two files and clears the reflink flag on the broken
file. That enables an extending write of the broken file to rewrite the
shared block that's just past EOF. This has become known colloquially
as refluxfs.
Once the file sizes are set correctly, the second exchange-range no
longer thinks that it's doing a full-contents swap, so it won't clear
the reflink flag on either of its file arguments.
Norbert followed up to an earlier version of this patch with a second
complaint about us not handling the i_disk_size state correctly:
> The offsets are bounded against the incore i_size but subtracted from

drm/bridge: Fix unlocked list_del in drm_bridge_add()
When re-adding a bridge that was previously removed, drm_bridge_add()
drops it from bridge_lingering_list without holding bridge_lock.
Both bridge_list and bridge_lingering_list are protected by bridge_lock,
as they are concurrently modified by drm_bridge_remove() and
__drm_bridge_free(), and walked by the debugfs 'bridges' file. Running
the list_empty() test and the list_del_init() outside of the lock may
therefore corrupt either list.
Perform both under bridge_lock. |

cgroup/cpuset: Don't access cpuset_cgrp_subsys.root in is_in_v2_mode()
After seeing the patch [1] to guard is_in_v2_mode() with RCU, it makes
me realize that is_in_v2_mode() may be called in a context where a new
cgroup filesystem is being rebound with stale cpuset_cgrp_subsys.root
pointer. Avoid this potential UaF situation by adding a new cpuset_v2_mode
flag which is set when the cpuset_v2_mode mount option is used. This
flag is written into only when cpuset_bind() is being called with a
stable cpuset_cgrp_subsys.root value. The is_in_v2_mode() helper is
modified to read the new cpuset_v2_mode flag instead of accessing
cpuset_cgrp_subsys.root directly.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: exar: initialize the ID before registering its cleanup
devm_add_action_or_reset() invokes the cleanup action immediately when
registering the action fails. gpio_exar_probe() currently stores the
allocated ID in exar_gpio only after registering the action, so that
failure makes exar_devm_ida_free() release ID 0. If the allocated ID is
nonzero, this leaks that ID and can free ID 0 belonging to another device.
Store the ID before registering the cleanup action so both the immediate
failure path and normal device teardown release the correct allocation. |
