Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] dcache: introduce d_genocide_safe()
Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2019 16:02:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190801140243.24080-4-omosnace@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190801140243.24080-1-omosnace@redhat.com>
This patch adds a slightly modified variant of d_genocide() that works
safely on live (ramfs-like) trees. This function is needed for a safe
implementation of sel_remove_entries() in selinuxfs.
This new function differs from the original d_genocide in the following:
1. It locks the parent inode when traversing the dentries.
2. It first unhashes the dentry using __d_drop() before dropping the
refcount and marking the dentry.
3. It does its business in the leave callback so that each dentry is
unhashed after its children -- otherwise some dentries might never
get traversed when d_walk() is restarted internally.
The combination of (1.) and (2.) is needed to avoid racing with
dcache_readdir(), which relies on the assumption that any
simple_positive() child dentry will not turn negative without locking
the parent inode for writing.
