From eed810076685c77dc9a8c5c3593e641c93caed1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2013 14:39:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] vfs: check unlinked ancestors before mount We check submounts before doing d_drop() on a non-empty directory dentry in NFS (have_submounts()), but we do not exclude a racing mount. Nor do we prevent mounts to be added to the disconnected subtree using relative paths after the d_drop(). This patch fixes these issues by checking for unlinked (unhashed, non-root) ancestors before proceeding with the mount. This is done with rename seqlock taken for write and with ->d_lock grabbed on each ancestor in turn, including our dentry itself. This ensures that the only one of check_submounts_and_drop() or has_unlinked_ancestor() can succeed. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- Reading git-format-patch failed
