Subject: vfs: check unlinked ancestors before mount
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~176^2~5393^2~8
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eed810076685c77dc9a8c5c3593e641c93caed1c;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

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.
