From d8a89c3e7556dcad72d31ded550b1e9b4ea8842a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Coulson Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2019 10:21:23 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: delete the dentry in aafs_remove() to avoid a leak [ Upstream commit 201218e4d3dfa1346e30997f48725acce3f26d01 ] Although the apparmorfs dentries are always dropped from the dentry cache when the usage count drops to zero, there is no guarantee that this will happen in aafs_remove(), as another thread might still be using it. In this scenario, this means that the dentry will temporarily continue to appear in the results of lookups, even after the call to aafs_remove(). In the case of removal of a profile - it also causes simple_rmdir() on the profile directory to fail, as the directory won't be empty until the usage counts of all child dentries have decreased to zero. This results in the dentry for the profile directory leaking and appearing empty in the file system tree forever.
