Subject: ocfs2: update d_splice_alias() return code checking
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d0118d7d20bbf9a76f75840bc3b0da0f4d092da9;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

ocfs2: update d_splice_alias() return code checking

When commit d3556babd7fa ("ocfs2: fix d_splice_alias() return code
checking") was merged into v3.18-rc3, d_splice_alias() was returning one
of a valid dentry, NULL or an ERR_PTR.

When commit b5ae6b15bd73 ("merge d_materialise_unique() into
d_splice_alias()") was merged into v3.19-rc1, d_splice_alias() started
returning -ELOOP as one of ERR_PTR values.

Now, when syzkaller mounts a crafted ocfs2 filesystem image that hits
d_splice_alias() == -ELOOP case from ocfs2_lookup(), ocfs2_lookup() fails
to handle -ELOOP case and generic_shutdown_super() hits "VFS: Busy inodes
after unmount" message.

Instead of calling ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock() or ocfs2_dentry_attach_gen()
when d_splice_alias() returned an ERR_PTR value, change ocfs2_lookup() to
bail out immediately.

Also, ocfs2_lookup() needs to call dupt() when ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock()
returned an ERR_PTR value.
