    locks: fix TOCTOU race when granting write lease · d6da19c9
    Amir Goldstein authored
    Thread A trying to acquire a write lease checks the value of i_readcount
    and i_writecount in check_conflicting_open() to verify that its own fd
    is the only fd referencing the file.
    
    Thread B trying to open the file for read will call break_lease() in
    do_dentry_open() before incrementing i_readcount, which leaves a small
    window where thread A can acquire the write lease and then thread B
    completes the open of the file for read without breaking the write lease
    that was acquired by thread A.
    
    Fix this race by incrementing i_readcount before checking for existing
    leases, same as the case with i_writecount.
    
    Use a helper put_file_access() to decrement i_readcount or i_writecount
    in do_dentry_open() and __fput().
