Subject: Denying access from sb_umount issue
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2020 12:34:05 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9e7ccbf8-e640-49b1-8e9c-ffa330b0feef@www.fastmail.com> (raw)

The lsm module implementes sb_umount() hook to disable lazy umounts. When access is denied, all consecutive umounts fail. It looks like mount reference count is messed up when sb_umount() return -EPERM. Is it possible that umount syscall assumes do_umount() touches those references and it calls 

 dput(path.dentry);
 mntput_no_expire(mnt);

regardless of what do_mount() returns?

Thanks,
--Alex
