Cong Wang 073c516ff7 nsfs: mark dentry with DCACHE_RCUACCESS
Andrey reported a use-after-free in __ns_get_path():

  spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:299 [inline]
  lockref_get_not_dead+0x19/0x80 lib/lockref.c:179
  __ns_get_path+0x197/0x860 fs/nsfs.c:66
  open_related_ns+0xda/0x200 fs/nsfs.c:143
  sock_ioctl+0x39d/0x440 net/socket.c:1001
  vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:45 [inline]
  do_vfs_ioctl+0x1bf/0x1780 fs/ioctl.c:685
  SYSC_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:700 [inline]
  SyS_ioctl+0x8f/0xc0 fs/ioctl.c:691

We are under rcu read lock protection at that point:

        rcu_read_lock();
        d = atomic_long_read(&ns->stashed);
        if (!d)
                goto slow;
        dentry = (struct dentry *)d;
        if (!lockref_get_not_dead(&dentry->d_lockref))
                goto slow;
        rcu_read_unlock();

but don't use a proper RCU API on the free path, therefore a parallel
__d_free() could free it at the same time.  We need to mark the stashed
dentry with DCACHE_RCUACCESS so that __d_free() will be called after all
readers leave RCU.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
