[Patch resend] nsfs: mark dentry with DCACHE_RCUACCESS

[Patch resend] nsfs: mark dentry with DCACHE_RCUACCESS

[Cong Wang]

Andrey reported a use-after-free in __ns_get_path():

 spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:299 [inline]
 lockref_get_not_dead+0x19/0x80 lib/lockref.c:179
 __ns_get_path+0x197/0x860 fs/nsfs.c:66
 open_related_ns+0xda/0x200 fs/nsfs.c:143
 sock_ioctl+0x39d/0x440 net/socket.c:1001
 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:45 [inline]
 do_vfs_ioctl+0x1bf/0x1780 fs/ioctl.c:685
 SYSC_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:700 [inline]
 SyS_ioctl+0x8f/0xc0 fs/ioctl.c:691

We are under rcu read lock protection at that point:

        rcu_read_lock();
        d = atomic_long_read(&ns->stashed);
        if (!d)
                goto slow;
        dentry = (struct dentry *)d;
        if (!lockref_get_not_dead(&dentry->d_lockref))
                goto slow;
        rcu_read_unlock();

but don't use a proper RCU API on the free path, therefore
a parallel __d_free() could free it at the same time.
We need to mark the stashed dentry with DCACHE_RCUACCESS so
that __d_free() will be called after all readers leave RCU.
