Charan Teja reported a 'use-after-free' in dmabuffs_dname [1], which happens if the dma_buf_release() is called while the userspace is accessing the dma_buf pseudo fs's dmabuffs_dname() in another process, and dma_buf_release() releases the dmabuf object when the last reference to the struct file goes away.
I discussed with Arnd Bergmann, and he suggested that rather than tying the dma_buf_release() to the file_operations' release(), we can tie it to the dentry_operations' d_release(), which will be called when the last ref to the dentry is removed.
The path exercised by __fput() calls f_op->release() first, and then calls dput, which eventually calls d_op->d_release().
In the 'normal' case, when no userspace access is happening via dma_buf pseudo fs, there should be exactly one fd, file, dentry and inode, so closing the fd will kill of everything right away.
In the presented case, the dentry's d_release() will be called only when the dentry's last ref is released.
Therefore, lets move dma_buf_release() from fops->release() to d_ops->d_release()
Many thanks to Arnd for his FS insights :)
