configfs: fix race between dentry put and lookup
A race window in configfs, it starts from one dentry is UNHASHED and end
before configfs_d_iput is called. In this window, if a lookup happen,
since the original dentry was UNHASHED, so a new dentry will be
allocated, and then in configfs_attach_attr(), sd->s_dentry will be
updated to the new dentry. Then in configfs_d_iput(),
BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry) will be triggered and system panic.
sys_open: sys_close:
... fput
dput
dentry_kill
__d_drop <--- dentry unhashed here,
but sd->dentry still point
to this dentry.
lookup_real
configfs_lookup
configfs_attach_attr---> update sd->s_dentry
to new allocated dentry here.
d_kill
configfs_d_iput <--- BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry)
triggered here.
To fix it, change configfs_d_iput to not update sd->s_dentry if
sd->s_count > 2, that means there are another dentry is using the sd
beside the one that is going to be put. Use configfs_dirent_lock in
configfs_attach_attr to sync with configfs_d_iput.
With the following steps, you can reproduce the bug.
1. enable ocfs2, this will mount configfs at /sys/kernel/config and
fill configure in it.
2. run the following script.
while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done &
while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done &
