Title
cachefiles: fix dentry leak in cachefiles_open_file()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: fix dentry leak in cachefiles_open_file()
A dentry leak may be caused when a lookup cookie and a cull are concurrent:
P1 | P2
-----------------------------------------------------------
cachefiles_lookup_cookie
cachefiles_look_up_object
lookup_one_positive_unlocked
// get dentry
cachefiles_cull
inode->i_flags |= S_KERNEL_FILE;
cachefiles_open_file
cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
__cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
can_use = false
if (!(inode->i_flags & S_KERNEL_FILE))
can_use = true
return false
return false
// Returns an error but doesn't put dentry
After that the following WARNING will be triggered when the backend folder
is umounted:
==================================================================
BUG: Dentry 000000008ad87947{i=7a,n=Dx_1_1.img} still in use (1) [unmount of ext4 sda]

==================================================================
Whether cachefiles_open_file() returns true or false, the reference count
obtained by lookup_positive_unlocked() in cachefiles_look_up_object()
should be released.
Therefore release that reference count in cachefiles_look_up_object() to
fix the above issue and simplify the code.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
