| |
2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
commit 9c2d2056647790c5034d722bd24e9d913ebca73c upstream.
When calling vfs_unlink() on the lower dentry, d_delete() turns the dentry into a negative dentry when the d_count is 1. This eventually caused a NULL pointer deref when a read() or write() was done and the negative dentry's d_inode was dereferenced in ecryptfs_read_update_atime() or ecryptfs_getxattr().
Placing mutt's tmpdir in an eCryptfs mount is what initially triggered the oops and I was able to reproduce it with the following sequence:
open("/tmp/upper/foo", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW, 0600) = 3 link("/tmp/upper/foo", "/tmp/upper/bar") = 0 unlink("/tmp/upper/foo") = 0 open("/tmp/upper/bar", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_NOFOLLOW, 0600) = 4 unlink("/tmp/upper/bar") = 0 write(4, "eCryptfs test\n"..., 14 <unfinished ...> +++ killed by SIGKILL +++
