    inotify: inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twice · 528da3e9
    Eric Paris authored
    inotify_destroy_mark_entry could get called twice for the same mark since it
    is called directly in inotify_rm_watch and when the mark is being destroyed for
    another reason.  As an example assume that the file being watched was just
    deleted so inotify_destroy_mark_entry would get called from the path
    fsnotify_inoderemove() -> fsnotify_destroy_marks_by_inode() ->
    fsnotify_destroy_mark_entry() -> inotify_destroy_mark_entry().  If this
    happened at the same time as userspace tried to remove a watch via
    inotify_rm_watch we could attempt to remove the mark from the idr twice and
    could thus double dec the ref cnt and potentially could be in a use after
    free/double free situation.  The fix is to have inotify_rm_watch use the
    generic recursive safe fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry() so we are sure the
    inotify_destroy_mark_entry() function can only be called one.
    
    This patch also renames the function to inotify_ingored_remove_idr() so it is
    clear what is actually going on in the function.
    
    Hopefully this fixes:
