pathwalk. This series is a result of code audit (the second round of it) and it should deal with most of that stuff. Exceptions: ntfs3 ->d_hash()/->d_compare() and ceph_d_revalidate(). Up to maintainers (a note for NTFS folks - when documentation says that a method may not block, it *does* imply that blocking allocations are to be avoided. Really).

This series is a result of code audit (the second round of it) and it should deal with most of that stuff. Still pending: ntfs3 ->d_hash()/->d_compare() and ceph_d_revalidate(). Up to maintainers (a note for NTFS folks - when documentation says that a method may not block, it *does* imply that blocking allocations are to be avoided. Really)" [ More explanations for people who aren't familiar with the vagaries of RCU path walking: most of it is hidden from filesystems, but if a filesystem actively participates in the low-level path walking it needs to make sure the fields involved in that walk are RCU-safe. That "actively participate in low-level path walking" includes things like having its own ->d_hash()/->d_compare() routines, or by having its own directory permission function that doesn't just use the common helpers. Having a ->d_revalidate() function will also have this issue. Note that instead of making everything RCU safe you can also choose to abort the RCU pathwalk if your operation cannot be done safely under RCU, but that obviously comes with a performance penalty. One common pattern is to allow the simple cases under RCU, and abort only if you need to do something more complicated. So not everything needs to be RCU-safe, and things like the inode etc that the VFS itself maintains obviously already are. But these fixes tend to be about properly RCU-delaying things like ->s_fs_info that are maintained by the filesystem and that got potentially released too early. - Linus ] * tag 'pull-fixes.pathwalk-rcu-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: ext4_get_link(): fix breakage in RCU mode cifs_get_link(): bail out in unsafe case fuse: fix UAF in rcu pathwalks procfs: make freeing proc_fs_info rcu-delayed procfs: move dropping pde and pid from ->evict_inode() to ->free_inode() nfs: fix UAF on pathwalk running into umount nfs: make nfs_set_verifier() safe for use in RCU pathwalk afs: fix __afs_break_callback() / afs_drop_open_mmap() race hfsplus: switch to rcu-delayed unloading of nls and freeing ->s_fs_info exfat: move freeing sbi, upcase table and dropping nls into rcu-delayed helper affs: free affs_sb_info with kfree_rcu() rcu pathwalk: prevent bogus hard errors from may_lookup() fs/super.c: don't drop ->s_user_ns until we free struct super_block itself |
