Kernel got panicked in inotify_handle_event, while running the rename
operation against the same file. The root cause is that the race between
fsnotify thread and file rename thread.  When fsnotify thread was
copying the dentry name, another rename thread could change the dentry
name at same time. With slub_debug=FZ boot args, this bug will trigger
a trace like the following:

[   87.789388] FIX kmalloc-64: Object at 0xffff8e487a50b0b8 not freed

Graph below is the flow of inotify subsystem handling
notify event. If a rename syscall happened simultaneously,
for example filename of "foobar" is rename to
"foobar_longername", which would access memory illegally.

            CPU 1                                       CPU 2

     fsnotify()
       inotify_handle_event()
         strlen(file_name) // file_name -> "foobar"

                                                    rename happen
                                                    file_name -> "foobar_longername"

         alloc_len += len + 1;
         event = kmalloc(alloc_len, GFP_KERNEL);
         strcpy(event->name, file_name); -> overwritten

Hi all

I sent this patch two months ago, then I found CVE from this link last night

    http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2017/q3/240

which not only references this patch, but also provides a upstream fix

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=49d31c2f389acfe83417083e1208422b4091cd9

I was wondering why @viro hadn't noticed this mail (And @viro fixed
this). I'm new here and nobody,
trying to do my best to help the this linux community. I was looking
forword to your reply, because some
insufficiency may exists in my work, I'd like to learn from you guys

Thanks and humble enough to wait your reply

Fair enough.  As for the reasons why allocation of name copy is a bad idea,
consider this: only short (embedded) names get overwritten on rename.
External ones (i.e. anything longer than 32 bytes or so) are unmodified
until freed.  And their lifetime is controlled by a refcount, so we can
trivially get a guaranteed to be stable name in that case - all it takes
is bumping the refcount and the name _will_ stay around until we drop
the reference.  So we are left with the case of short names and that
is trivial to deal with - 32-byte array is small enough, so we can bloody
well have it on caller's stack and copy the (short) name there.
That approach avoids all the headache with allocation, allocation failure
handling, etc.  Stack footprint is not much higher (especially compared
to how much idiotify and friends stomp on the stack) and it's obviously
cheaper - we only copy the name in short case and we never go into
allocator.  And it's just as easy to use as "make a dynamic copy" variant
of API...

Al, still buried in packing boxes at the moment...
