From 76bfc5ab57137d351a9046a002ee39a220d0e012 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ming Lei Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 23:25:24 +0800 Subject: sysfs: fix race between readdir and lseek commit 991f76f837bf22c5bb07261cfd86525a0a96650c upstream. While readdir() is running, lseek() may set filp->f_pos as zero, then may leave filp->private_data pointing to one sysfs_dirent object without holding its reference counter, so the sysfs_dirent object may be used after free in next readdir(). This patch holds inode->i_mutex to avoid the problem since the lock is always held in readdir path.
