Revision 1e9c75fb9c47a75a9aec0cd17db5f6dc36b58e00 authored by Benjamin Coddington on 03 October 2018, 14:18:33 UTC, committed by Eric W. Biederman on 12 November 2018, 07:02:34 UTC
Since commit ff17fa561a04 ("d_invalidate(): unhash immediately") immediately unhashes the dentry, we'll never return the mountpoint in lookup_mountpoint(), which can lead to an unbreakable loop in d_invalidate(). I have reports of NFS clients getting into this condition after the server removes an export of an existing mount created through follow_automount(), but I suspect there are various other ways to produce this problem if we hunt down users of d_invalidate(). For example, it is possible to get into this state by using XFS' d_invalidate() call in xfs_vn_unlink(): truncate -s 100m img{1,2} mkfs.xfs -q -n version=ci img1 mkfs.xfs -q -n version=ci img2 mkdir -p /mnt/xfs mount img1 /mnt/xfs mkdir /mnt/xfs/sub1 mount img2 /mnt/xfs/sub1 cat > /mnt/xfs/sub1/foo & umount -l /mnt/xfs/sub1 mount img2 /mnt/xfs/sub1 mount --make-private /mnt/xfs mkdir /mnt/xfs/sub2 mount --move /mnt/xfs/sub1 /mnt/xfs/sub2 rmdir /mnt/xfs/sub1 Fix this by moving the check for an unlinked dentry out of the detach_mounts() path.
