From c4fcfc1619ea43a8a89ad2f83ff23905eee088bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2016 10:20:24 +0100 Subject: ovl: fix d_real() for stacked fs Handling of recursion in d_real() is completely broken. Recursion is only done in the 'inode != NULL' case. But when opening the file we have 'inode == NULL' hence d_real() will return an overlay dentry. This won't work since overlayfs doesn't define its own file operations, so all file ops will fail. Fix by doing the recursion first and the check against the inode second. Bash script to reproduce the issue written by Quentin: - 8< - - - - - 8< - - - - - 8< - - - - - 8< - - - - tmpdir=$(mktemp -d) pushd ${tmpdir} mkdir -p {upper,lower,work} echo -n 'rocks' > lower/ksplice mount -t overlay level_zero upper -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work cat upper/ksplice tmpdir2=$(mktemp -d) pushd ${tmpdir2} mkdir -p {upper,work} mount -t overlay level_one upper -o lowerdir=${tmpdir}/upper,upperdir=upper,workdir=work ls -l upper/ksplice cat upper/ksplice - 8< - - - - - 8< - - - - - 8< - - - - - 8< - - - - Reported-by: Quentin Casasnovas Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Fixes: 2d902671ce1c ("vfs: merge .d_select_inode() into .d_real()") Cc: # v4.8+ --- fs/overlayfs/super.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/overlayfs/super.c b/fs/overlayfs/super.c index edd46a0e951d..0e100856c7b8 100644 --- a/fs/overlayfs/super.c +++ b/fs/overlayfs/super.c @@ -328,11 +328,11 @@ static struct dentry *ovl_d_real(struct dentry *dentry, if (!real) goto bug; + /* Handle recursion */ + real = d_real(real, inode, open_flags); + if (!inode || inode == d_inode(real)) return real; - - /* Handle recursion */ - return d_real(real, inode, open_flags); bug: WARN(1, "ovl_d_real(%pd4, %s:%lu): real dentry not found\n", dentry, inode ? inode->i_sb->s_id : "NULL", inode ? inode->i_ino : 0); -- cgit v1.2.3-58-ga151
