If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Al Viro commit 6404674acd596de41fd3ad5f267b4525494a891a upstream. Brown paperbag time: fetching ->i_uid/->i_mode really should've been done from nd->inode. I even suggested that, but the reason for that has slipped through the cracks and I went for dir->d_inode instead - made for more "obvious" patch. Analysis: - at the entry into do_last() and all the way to step_into(): dir (aka nd->path.dentry) is known not to have been freed; so's nd->inode and it's equal to dir->d_inode unless we are already doomed to -ECHILD. inode of the file to get opened is not known. - after step_into(): inode of the file to get opened is known; dir might be pointing to freed memory/be negative/etc. - at the call of may_create_in_sticky(): guaranteed to be out of RCU mode; inode of the file to get opened is known and pinned; dir might be garbage. The last was the reason for the original patch. Except that at the do_last() entry we can be in RCU mode and it is possible that nd->path.dentry->d_inode has already changed under us. In that case we are going to fail with -ECHILD, but we need to be careful; nd->inode is pointing to valid struct inode and it's the same as nd->path.dentry->d_inode in "won't fail with -ECHILD" case, so we should use that.
