fsnotify: Fix possible use-after-free in inode iteration on umount
fsnotify_unmount_inodes() plays complex tricks to pin next inode in the sb->s_inodes list when iterating over all inodes. Furthermore the code has a bug that if the current inode is the last on i_sb_list that does not have e.g. I_FREEING set, then we leave next_i pointing to inode which may get removed from the i_sb_list once we drop s_inode_list_lock thus resulting in use-after-free issues (usually manifesting as infinite looping in fsnotify_unmount_inodes()). Fix the problem by keeping current inode pinned somewhat longer. Then we can make the code much simpler and standard. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
