Subject: [PATCH for 3.14-stable] fanotify: fix double free of pending permission events
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2014 16:23:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1412951028-4085-17-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1412951028-4085-1-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz>

commit 5838d4442bd5971687b72221736222637e03140d upstream.

Commit 85816794240b ("fanotify: Fix use after free for permission
events") introduced a double free issue for permission events which are
pending in group's notification queue while group is being destroyed.
These events are freed from fanotify_handle_event() but they are not
removed from groups notification queue and thus they get freed again
from fsnotify_flush_notify().

Fix the problem by removing permission events from notification queue
before freeing them if we skip processing access response.  Also expand
comments in fanotify_release() to explain group shutdown in detail.
