tracefs: Check for dentry->d_inode exists in set_gid()
Commit Message
From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
If a getdents() is called on the tracefs directory but does not get all
the files, it can leave a "cursor" dentry in the d_subdirs list of tracefs
dentry. This cursor dentry does not have a d_inode for it. Before
referencing tracefs_inode from the dentry, the d_inode must first be
checked if it has content. If not, then it's not a tracefs_inode and can
be ignored.
The following caused a crash:
#define getdents64(fd, dirp, count) syscall(SYS_getdents64, fd, dirp, count)
#define BUF_SIZE 256
#define TDIR "/tmp/file0"
int main(void)
{
char buf[BUF_SIZE];
int fd;
int n;
mkdir(TDIR, 0777);
mount(NULL, TDIR, "tracefs", 0, NULL);
fd = openat(AT_FDCWD, TDIR, O_RDONLY);
n = getdents64(fd, buf, BUF_SIZE);
ret = mount(NULL, TDIR, NULL, MS_NOSUID|MS_REMOUNT|MS_RELATIME|MS_LAZYTIME,
"gid=1000");
return 0;
}
That's because the 256 BUF_SIZE was not big enough to read all the
dentries of the tracefs file system and it left a "cursor" dentry in the
subdirs of the tracefs root inode. Then on remounting with "gid=1000",
it would cause an iteration of all dentries which hit:
ti = get_tracefs(dentry->d_inode);
if (ti && (ti->flags & TRACEFS_EVENT_INODE))
eventfs_update_gid(dentry, gid);
Which crashed because of the dereference of the cursor dentry which had a NULL
d_inode.
