[ Upstream commit 8d20d6e9301d7b3777d66d47dd5b89acd645cd39 ]
Currently chunk hash key (which is in fact pointer to the inode) is
derived as chunk->mark.conn->obj. It is tricky to make this dereference
reliable for hash table lookups only under RCU as mark can get detached
from the connector and connector gets freed independently of the
running lookup. Thus there is a possible use after free / NULL ptr
dereference issue:
CPU1 CPU2
untag_chunk()
...
audit_tree_lookup()
list_for_each_entry_rcu(p, list, hash) {
list_del_rcu(&chunk->hash);
fsnotify_destroy_mark(entry);
fsnotify_put_mark(entry)
chunk_to_key(p)
if (!chunk->mark.connector)
...
hlist_del_init_rcu(&mark->obj_list);
if (hlist_empty(&conn->list)) {
inode = fsnotify_detach_connector_from_object(conn);
mark->connector = NULL;
...
frees connector from workqueue
chunk->mark.connector->obj
This race is probably impossible to hit in practice as the race window
on CPU1 is very narrow and CPU2 has a lot of code to execute. Still it's
better to have this fixed. Since the inode the chunk is attached to is
constant during chunk's lifetime it is easy to cache the key in the
chunk itself and thus avoid these issues.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
