From 96d41019e3ac55f6f0115b0ce97e4f24a3d636d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2016 14:44:30 -0700 Subject: fanotify: fix list corruption in fanotify_get_response() fanotify_get_response() calls fsnotify_remove_event() when it finds that group is being released from fanotify_release() (bypass_perm is set). However the event it removes need not be only in the group's notification queue but it can have already moved to access_list (userspace read the event before closing the fanotify instance fd) which is protected by a different lock. Thus when fsnotify_remove_event() races with fanotify_release() operating on access_list, the list can get corrupted. Fix the problem by moving all the logic removing permission events from the lists to one place - fanotify_release().
