In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: fix invalidate lock leak on open O_TRUNC DAX failure
fuse_open() takes filemap_invalidate_lock() for a DAX truncate (dax_truncate = true) and releases it before the out_inode_unlock label. But when fuse_dax_break_layouts() fails, the goto out_inode_unlock skips the unlock and leaks the rwsem, so any later fault or truncate on the file stalls on the stale lock.
fuse_dax_break_layouts() can fail with -ERESTARTSYS when a signal interrupts the wait for busy DAX pages to drain:
open("file", O_RDWR | O_TRUNC) └─ fuse_open() ├─ filemap_invalidate_lock()
dax_truncate
└─ fuse_dax_break_layouts() └─ dax_break_layout() └─ wait_page_idle()
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
└─ fuse_wait_dax_page()
unlock, schedule, re-lock
└─ signal → -ERESTARTSYS goto out_inode_unlock
<- lock leaked
Fix this by moving filemap_invalidate_unlock() below the label so that all error paths release the lock, and rename the label to out_unlock as it now covers more than just the inode lock.
