[PATCH v2 0/4] tracefs/eventfs: Fix failed second run of test_ownership
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu May 23 2024 - 01:15:04 EST
The test_ownership test of the kselftests was failing again.
That's because the original fix was incorrect and a fix to
a race condition showed how the original fix was broken.
Instead of using tracefs_inodes to find the eventfs_inode that
needs to be reset on remount, use the "events" directory descriptor
to descend into its files and directories to catch all changes.
Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240522124504.28982867@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Added other fixes underneath and rebased it on:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240522164320.469785149@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- The real fix is to not use the tracefs_inodes to find the eventfs_inodes
that need to be cleared on remount. Instead, the events descriptor
needs to be used to descend its directories and files to update
their attributes
- The d_iput callback logic was misplaced. It should be done in the
drop_inode callback.

Steven Rostedt (Google) (4):
eventfs: Keep the directories from having the same inode number as files
tracefs: Update inode permissions on remount
eventfs: Update all the eventfs_inodes from the events descriptor
tracefs: Clear EVENT_INODE flag in tracefs_drop_inode()
