Subject: Fix potential OOPS in generic_setlease()
From: Pavel Emelyanov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This code is run under lock_kernel(), which is dropped during sleeping
operations, so the following race is possible:
CPU1: CPU2:
vfs_setlease(); vfs_setlease();
lock_kernel();
lock_kernel(); /* spin */
generic_setlease():
...
for (before = ...)
/* here we found some lease after
* which we will insert the new one
*/
fl = locks_alloc_lock();
/* go to sleep in this allocation and
* drop the BKL
*/
generic_setlease():
...
for (before = ...)
/* here we find the "before" pointing
* at the one we found on CPU1
*/
->fl_change(my_before, arg);
lease_modify();
locks_free_lock();
/* and we freed it */
...
unlock_kernel();
locks_insert_lock(before, fl);
/* OOPS! We have just tried to add the lease
* at the tail of already removed one
*/
The similar races are already handled in other code - all the
allocations are performed before any checks/updates.
