    ubifs: ubifs_symlink: Fix memleak of inode->i_link in error path · 6379b44c
    Zhihao Cheng authored
    For error handling path in ubifs_symlink(), inode will be marked as
    bad first, then iput() is invoked. If inode->i_link is initialized by
    fscrypt_encrypt_symlink() in encryption scenario, inode->i_link won't
    be freed by callchain ubifs_free_inode -> fscrypt_free_inode in error
    handling path, because make_bad_inode() has changed 'inode->i_mode' as
    'S_IFREG'.
    Following kmemleak is easy to be reproduced by injecting error in
    ubifs_jnl_update() when doing symlink in encryption scenario:
     unreferenced object 0xffff888103da3d98 (size 8):
      comm "ln", pid 1692, jiffies 4294914701 (age 12.045s)
      backtrace:
       kmemdup+0x32/0x70
       __fscrypt_encrypt_symlink+0xed/0x1c0
       ubifs_symlink+0x210/0x300 [ubifs]
       vfs_symlink+0x216/0x360
       do_symlinkat+0x11a/0x190
       do_syscall_64+0x3b/0xe0
    There are two ways fixing it:
     1. Remove make_bad_inode() in error handling path. We can do that
        because ubifs_evict_inode() will do same processes for good
        symlink inode and bad symlink inode, for inode->i_nlink checking
        is before is_bad_inode().
     2. Free inode->i_link before marking inode bad.
    Method 2 is picked, it has less influence, personally, I think.
