fuse: fix invalidate lock leak on open O_TRUNC DAX failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse: fix invalidate lock leak on open O_TRUNC DAX failure fuse_open() takes filemap_invalidate_lock() for a DAX truncate (dax_truncate = true) and releases it before the out_inode_unlock label. But when fuse_dax_break_layouts() fails, the goto out_inode_unlock skips the unlock and leaks the rwsem, so any later fault or truncate on the file stalls on the stale lock. fuse_dax_break_layouts() can fail with -ERESTARTSYS when a signal interrupts the wait for busy DAX pages to drain: open("file", O_RDWR | O_TRUNC) โโ fuse_open() โโ filemap_invalidate_lock() # dax_truncate โโ fuse_dax_break_layouts() โโ dax_break_layout() โโ wait_page_idle() # TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE โโ fuse_wait_dax_page() # unlock, schedule, re-lock โโ signal โ -ERESTARTSYS goto out_inode_unlock # <- lock leaked Fix this by moving filemap_invalidate_unlock() below the label so that all error paths release the lock, and rename the label to out_unlock as it now covers more than just the inode lock.
