[PATCH][RFC] userns and mnt_idmap leak in open_tree_attr(2)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



[if nobody objects, I'm going to throw that into #fixes and send to Linus
in a couple of days]

Once want_mount_setattr() has returned a positive, it does require
finish_mount_kattr() to release ->mnt_userns.  Failing do_mount_setattr()
does not change that.

As the result, we can end up leaking userns and possibly mnt_idmap as
well.
