Subject: [PATCH 04/22] [PATCH] fs/locks.c: Fix sys_flock() race
Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 00:00:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060517221353.982476000@sous-sol.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060517221312.227391000@sous-sol.org>
[-- Attachment #1: fs-locks.c-Fix-sys_flock-race.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3154 bytes --]
-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
sys_flock() currently has a race which can result in a double free in the
multi-thread case.
Thread 1 Thread 2
sys_flock(file, LOCK_EX)
sys_flock(file, LOCK_UN)
If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for
list_empty(&lock->fl_link) at the end of sys_flock, then both threads will
end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock.
Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely
to make a copy of the request, so that the caller can always free the lock.
This also has the side-effect of fixing up a reference problem in the
lockd handling of flock.
