tracefs: Check for dentry->d_inode exists in set_gid()
If a getdents() is called on the tracefs directory but does not get all the files, it can leave a "cursor" dentry in the d_subdirs list of tracefs dentry. This cursor dentry does not have a d_inode for it. Before referencing tracefs_inode from the dentry, the d_inode must first be checked if it has content. If not, then it's not a tracefs_inode and can be ignored. The following caused a crash: #define getdents64(fd, dirp, count) syscall(SYS_getdents64, fd, dirp, count) #define BUF_SIZE 256 #define TDIR "/tmp/file0" int main(void) { char buf[BUF_SIZE]; int fd; int n; mkdir(TDIR, 0777); mount(NULL, TDIR, "tracefs", 0, NULL); fd = openat(AT_FDCWD, TDIR, O_RDONLY); n = getdents64(fd, buf, BUF_SIZE); ret = mount(NULL, TDIR, NULL, MS_NOSUID|MS_REMOUNT|MS_RELATIME|MS_LAZYTIME, "gid=1000"); return 0; } That's because the 256 BUF_SIZE was not big enough to read all the dentries of the tracefs file system and it left a "cursor" dentry in the subdirs of the tracefs root inode. Then on remounting with "gid=1000", it would cause an iteration of all dentries which hit: ti = get_tracefs(dentry->d_inode); if (ti && (ti->flags & TRACEFS_EVENT_INODE)) eventfs_update_gid(dentry, gid); Which crashed because of the dereference of the cursor dentry which had a NULL d_inode. In the subdir loop of the dentry lookup of set_gid(), if a child has a NULL d_inode, simply skip it.
