Pass the stable name all the way down to ->rpc_ops->lookup() instances. Note that passing &dentry->d_name is safe in e.g. nfs_lookup() - it *is* stable there, as it is in ->create() et.al. dget_parent() in nfs_instantiate() should be redundant - it'd better be stable there; if it's not, we have more trouble, since ->d_name would also be unsafe in such case. nfs_submount() and nfs4_submount() may or may not require fixes - if they ever get moved on server with fhandle preserved, we are in trouble there... UAF window is fairly narrow here and exfiltration requires the ability to watch the traffic. Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
