[PATCH] namespace.c: fix race in mark_mounts_for_expiry() This patch fixes a race found by Ram in mark_mounts_for_expiry() in fs/namespace.c. The bug can only be triggered with simultaneous exiting of a process having a private namespace, and expiry of a mount from within that namespace. It's practically impossible to trigger, and I haven't even tried. But still, a bug is a bug. The race happens when put_namespace() is called by another task, while mark_mounts_for_expiry() is between atomic_read() and get_namespace(). In that case get_namespace() will be called on an already dead namespace with unforeseeable results. The solution was suggested by Al Viro, with his own words: Instead of screwing with atomic_read() in there, why don't we simply do the following: a) atomic_dec_and_lock() in put_namespace() b) __put_namespace() called without dropping lock c) the first thing done by __put_namespace would be struct vfsmount *root = namespace->root; namespace->root = NULL; spin_unlock(...); .... umount_tree(root); ... d) check in mark_... would be simply namespace && namespace->root. And we are all set; no screwing around with atomic_read(), no magic at all. Dying namespace gets NULL ->root. All changes of ->root happen under spinlock. If under a spinlock we see non-NULL ->mnt_namespace, it won't be freed until we drop the lock (we will set ->mnt_namespace to NULL under that lock before we get to freeing namespace). If under a spinlock we see non-NULL ->mnt_namespace and ->mnt_namespace->root, we can grab a reference to namespace and be sure that it won't go away.
