fsnotify: don't BUG in fsnotify_destroy_mark()

2012-01-15T02:01:42Z

Removing the parent of a watched file results in "kernel BUG at fs/notify/mark.c:139". To reproduce add "-w /tmp/audit/dir/watched_file" to audit.rules rm -rf /tmp/audit/dir This is caused by fsnotify_destroy_mark() being called without an extra reference taken by the caller. Reported by Francesco Cosoleto here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689860 Fix by removing the BUG_ON and adding a comment about not accessing mark after the iput.

inotify: fix double free/corruption of stuct user

2011-04-05T22:27:14Z

On an error path in inotify_init1 a normal user can trigger a double free of struct user. This is a regression introduced by a2ae4cc9a16e ("inotify: stop kernel memory leak on file creation failure"). We fix this by making sure that if a group exists the user reference is dropped when the group is cleaned up. We should not explictly drop the reference on error and also drop the reference when the group is cleaned up. The new lifetime rules are that an inotify group lives from inotify_new_group to the last fsnotify_put_group. Since the struct user and inotify_devs are directly tied to this lifetime they are only changed/updated in those two locations. We get rid of all special casing of struct user or user->inotify_devs. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris Cc: stable@kernel.org (2.6.37 and up) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
