It's not critical (anymore) since another thread closing the file will block
on ->device_lock before it gets to dropping the final reference, but it's
definitely cleaner that way...

we really need to make sure that dropping the last reference happens
under the group->device_lock; otherwise a loop (under device_lock)
might find vfio_device instance that is being freed right now, has
already dropped the last reference and waits on device_lock to exclude
the sucker from the list.

New helper: current_thread_info(). Allows to do a bunch of odd syscalls
in C. While we are at it, there had never been a reason to do
osf_getpriority() in assembler. We also get "namespace"-aware (read:
consistent with getuid(2), etc.) behaviour from getx?id() syscalls now.

The write ref to vfsmount taken in lookup_open()/atomic_open() is going to
be dropped; we take the one to stay in dentry_open(). Just grab the temporary
in caller if it looks like we are going to need it (create/truncate/writable open)
and pass (by value) "has it succeeded" flag. Instead of doing mnt_want_write()
inside, check that flag and treat "false" as "mnt_want_write() has just failed".
mnt_want_write() is cheap and the things get considerably simpler and more robust
that way - we get it and drop it in the same function, to start with, rather
than passing a "has something in the guts of really scary functions taken it"
back to caller.

O_EXCL without O_CREAT has different semantics; it's "fail if already opened",

OK, what we have so far is e.g.
setxattr(path, name, whatever, 0, XATTR_REPLACE)
with name being good enough to get through xattr_permission().
Then we reach security_inode_setxattr() with the desired value and size.
Aha. name should begin with "security.selinux", or we won't get that
far in selinux_inode_setxattr(). Suppose we got there and have enough
permissions to relabel that sucker. We call security_context_to_sid()
with value == NULL, size == 0. OK, we want ss_initialized to be non-zero.
I.e. after everything had been set up and running. No problem...
We do 1-byte kmalloc(), zero-length memcpy() (which doesn't oops, even
thought the source is NULL) and put a NUL there. I.e. form an empty
string. string_to_context_struct() is called and looks for the first
':' in there. Not found, -EINVAL we get. OK, security_context_to_sid_core()
has rc == -EINVAL, force == 0, so it silently returns -EINVAL.
All it takes now is not having CAP_MAC_ADMIN and we are fucked.
All right, it might be a different bug (modulo strange code quoted in the
report), but it's real. Easily fixed, AFAICS:
Deal with size == 0, value == NULL case in selinux_inode_setxattr()

Note that applying umask can't affect their results. While
that affects errno in cases like
mknod("/no_such_directory/a", 030000)
yielding -EINVAL (due to impossible mode_t) instead of
-ENOENT (due to inexistent directory), IMO that makes a lot
more sense, POSIX allows to return either and any software
that relies on getting -ENOENT instead of -EINVAL in that
case deserves everything it gets.

... and schedule_work() for interrupt/kernel_thread callers
(and yes, now it *is* OK to call from interrupt).
We are guaranteed that __fput() will be done before we return
to userland (or exit). Note that for fput() from a kernel
thread we get an async behaviour; it's almost always OK, but
sometimes you might need to have __fput() completed before
you do anything else. There are two mechanisms for that -
a general barrier (flush_delayed_fput()) and explicit
__fput_sync(). Both should be used with care (as was the
case for fput() from kernel threads all along). See comments
in fs/file_table.c for details.

From Al Viro:
BTW, speaking of struct file treatment related to sockets -
there's this piece of code in iscsi:
/*
* The SCTP stack needs struct socket->file.
*/
if ((np->np_network_transport == ISCSI_SCTP_TCP) ||
(np->np_network_transport == ISCSI_SCTP_UDP)) {
if (!new_sock->file) {
new_sock->file = kzalloc(
sizeof(struct file), GFP_KERNEL);
For one thing, as far as I can see it'not true - sctp does *not* depend on
socket->file being non-NULL; it does, in one place, check socket->file->f_flags
for O_NONBLOCK, but there it treats NULL socket->file as "flag not set".
Which is the case here anyway - the fake struct file created in
__iscsi_target_login_thread() (and in iscsi_target_setup_login_socket(), with
the same excuse) do *not* get that flag set.
Moreover, it's a bloody serious violation of a bunch of asserts in VFS;
all struct file instances should come from filp_cachep, via get_empty_filp()
(or alloc_file(), which is a wrapper for it). FWIW, I'm very tempted to
do this and be done with the entire mess:
