To this end I suggested introducing {override,revert}_creds_light() which overlayfs could use. This seems to work rather well. This series follow Linus advice and unifies the separate helpers and simply makes {override,revert}_creds() do what {override,revert}_creds_light() currently does. Caller's that really need the extra reference count can take it manually. Acked-by: Chuck Lever Reviewed-by: Jens Axboe --- Changes in v2: - Remove confusion around dangling pointer. - Use the revert_creds(old) + put_cred(new) pattern instead of put_cred(revert_creds(old)). - Fill in missing justifications in various commit message why not using a separate reference count is safe. - Make get_new_cred() argument const to easily use it during the conversion. - Get rid of get_new_cred() completely at the end of the series. - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241124-work-cred-v1-0-f352241c3970@kernel.org --- Christian Brauner (29): tree-wide: s/override_creds()/override_creds_light(get_new_cred())/g cred: return old creds from revert_creds_light() tree-wide: s/revert_creds()/put_cred(revert_creds_light())/g cred: remove old {override,revert}_creds() helpers tree-wide: s/override_creds_light()/override_creds()/g tree-wide: s/revert_creds_light()/revert_creds()/g firmware: avoid pointless reference count bump sev-dev: avoid pointless cred reference count bump target_core_configfs: avoid pointless cred reference count bump aio: avoid pointless cred reference count bump binfmt_misc: avoid pointless cred reference count bump coredump: avoid pointless cred reference count bump nfs/localio: avoid pointless cred reference count bumps nfs/nfs4idmap: avoid pointless reference count bump nfs/nfs4recover: avoid pointless cred reference count bump nfsfh: avoid pointless cred reference count bump open: avoid pointless cred reference count bump ovl: avoid pointless cred reference count bump cifs: avoid pointless cred reference count bump cifs: avoid pointless cred reference count bump smb: avoid pointless cred reference count bump io_uring: avoid pointless cred reference count bump acct: avoid pointless reference count bump cgroup: avoid pointless cred reference count bump trace: avoid pointless cred reference count bump dns_resolver: avoid pointless cred reference count bump cachefiles: avoid pointless cred reference count bump nfsd: avoid pointless cred reference count bump cred: remove unused get_new_cred() Documentation/security/credentials.rst | 5 ---- drivers/crypto/ccp/sev-dev.c | 2 +- fs/backing-file.c | 20 +++++++------- fs/nfsd/auth.c | 3 +- fs/nfsd/filecache.c | 2 +- fs/nfsd/nfs4recover.c | 3 +- fs/nfsd/nfsfh.c | 1 - fs/open.c | 11 ++------ fs/overlayfs/dir.c | 4 +-- fs/overlayfs/util.c | 4 +-- fs/smb/server/smb_common.c | 10 ++----- include/linux/cred.h | 26 ++++-------------- kernel/cred.c | 50 ---------------------------------- 13 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 114 deletions(-) --- base-commit: e7675238b9bf4db0b872d5dbcd53efa31914c98f change-id: 20241124-work-cred-349b65450082
