locks: close potential race between setlease and open
As Al Viro points out, there is an unlikely, but possible race between
opening a file and setting a lease on it. generic_add_lease is done with
the i_lock held, but the inode->i_flock check in break_lease is
lockless. It's possible for another task doing an open to do the entire
pathwalk and call break_lease between the point where generic_add_lease
checks for a conflicting open and adds the lease to the list. If this
occurs, we can end up with a lease set on the file with a conflicting
open.
To guard against that, check again for a conflicting open after adding
the lease to the i_flock list. If the above race occurs, then we can
simply unwind the lease setting and return -EAGAIN.
Because we take dentry references and acquire write access on the file
before calling break_lease, we know that if the i_flock list is empty
when the open caller goes to check it then the necessary refcounts have
already been incremented. Thus the additional check for a conflicting
open will see that there is one and the setlease call will fail.
