A dentry leak may be caused when a lookup cookie and a cull are concurrent:
P1 | P2
-----------------------------------------------------------
cachefiles_lookup_cookie
cachefiles_look_up_object
lookup_one_positive_unlocked
// get dentry
cachefiles_cull
inode->i_flags |= S_KERNEL_FILE;
cachefiles_open_file
cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
__cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
can_use = false
if (!(inode->i_flags & S_KERNEL_FILE))
can_use = true
return false
return false
// Returns an error but doesn't put dentry
After that the following WARNING will be triggered when the backend folder
is umounted:
==================================================================

==================================================================
Whether cachefiles_open_file() returns true or false, the reference count
obtained by lookup_positive_unlocked() in cachefiles_look_up_object()
should be released.
Therefore release that reference count in cachefiles_look_up_object() to
fix the above issue and simplify the code.

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.
