[PATCH 5.15 249/530] locks: fix TOCTOU race when granting write lease

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d6da19c9cace63290ccfccb1fc35151ffefc0bec ]

Thread A trying to acquire a write lease checks the value of i_readcount
and i_writecount in check_conflicting_open() to verify that its own fd
is the only fd referencing the file.

Thread B trying to open the file for read will call break_lease() in
do_dentry_open() before incrementing i_readcount, which leaves a small
window where thread A can acquire the write lease and then thread B
completes the open of the file for read without breaking the write lease
that was acquired by thread A.

Fix this race by incrementing i_readcount before checking for existing
leases, same as the case with i_writecount.

Use a helper put_file_access() to decrement i_readcount or i_writecount
in do_dentry_open() and __fput().

Fixes: 387e3746d01c ("locks: eliminate false positive conflicts for write lease")
