Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix busy dentry used after unmounting
Since commit 340cea84f691c ("cifs: open files should not hold ref on
superblock"), cifs file only holds the dentry ref_cnt, the cifs file
close work(cfile->deferred) could be executed after unmounting, which
will trigger a warning in generic_shutdown_super:
BUG: Dentry 00000000a14a6845{i=c,n=file} still in use (1) [unmount of
cifs cifs]
The detailed processs is:
process A process B kworker
fd = open(PATH)
vfs_open
file->__f_path = *path // dentry->d_lockref.count = 1
cifs_open
cifs_new_fileinfo
cfile->dentry = dget(dentry) // dentry->d_lockref.count = 2
close(fd)
__fput
cifs_close
queue_delayed_work(deferredclose_wq, cfile->deferred)
dput(dentry) // dentry->d_lockref.count = 1
smb2_deferred_work_close
_cifsFileInfo_put
list_del(&cifs_file->flist)
umount
cleanup_mnt
deactivate_super
cifs_kill_sb
cifs_close_all_deferred_files_sb
cifs_close_all_deferred_files
// cannot find cfile, skip _cifsFileInfo_put
kill_anon_super
generic_shutdown_super
shrink_dcache_for_umount
umount_check
WARN ! // dentry->d_lockref.count = 1
cifsFileInfo_put_final
dput(cifs_file->dentry)
// dentry->d_lockref.count = 0
Fix it by flushing 'deferredclose_wq' before calling kill_anon_super.
