From c2f8219dac51298b6e940047db501c87edacaf4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiachen Zhang Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2022 10:38:45 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ovl: drop WARN_ON() dentry is NULL in ovl_encode_fh() stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.137 commit 542d2e799d53577b961f74914342c9e972c3f1ab category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I60PLB Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=542d2e799d53577b961f74914342c9e972c3f1ab -------------------------------- commit dd524b7f317de8d31d638cbfdc7be4cf9b770e42 upstream. Some code paths cannot guarantee the inode have any dentry alias. So WARN_ON() all !dentry may flood the kernel logs. For example, when an overlayfs inode is watched by inotifywait (1), and someone is trying to read the /proc/$(pidof inotifywait)/fdinfo/INOTIFY_FD, at that time if the dentry has been reclaimed by kernel (such as echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches), there will be a WARN_ON(). The printed call stack would be like: ? show_mark_fhandle+0xf0/0xf0 show_mark_fhandle+0x4a/0xf0 ? show_mark_fhandle+0xf0/0xf0 ? seq_vprintf+0x30/0x50 ? seq_printf+0x53/0x70 ? show_mark_fhandle+0xf0/0xf0 inotify_fdinfo+0x70/0x90 show_fdinfo.isra.4+0x53/0x70 seq_show+0x130/0x170 seq_read+0x153/0x440 vfs_read+0x94/0x150 ksys_read+0x5f/0xe0 do_syscall_64+0x59/0x1e0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 So let's drop WARN_ON() to avoid kernel log flooding.
