Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: detach blocked lock requests before freeing
A file_lock retained by ksmbd for byte-range lock bookkeeping can still
be part of the VFS blocked-request graph. In particular, the VFS can
chain a new waiter below an already blocked request through
flc_blocked_requests. The ksmbd_file reference count does not cover that
graph.
Both __ksmbd_close_fd() and the cross-request unlock path free these
retained file_lock objects directly. If a dependent waiter is still
attached, locks_release_private() hits
BUG_ON(!list_empty(&flc->flc_blocked_requests)). The same lifetime
mismatch can leave a freed ksmbd_lock reachable through its request-local
llist.
Detach the file_lock from the blocked-request graph before freeing it in
the close, cross-request unlock, and rollback paths. locks_delete_block()
also wakes requests chained below the object. Remove llist when a
completed lock is published so a globally visible ksmbd_lock no longer
points into the submitting worker's stack.
