Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf: fs/xattr: don't assume the inode is locked in path_unlink/path_rmdir
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 16:55:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922145530.369775-1-parri.andrea@gmail.com> (raw)

bpf_lsm_has_d_inode_locked() makes the verifier rewrite
bpf_[set|remove]_dentry_xattr() to the _locked variants, which assume
that the caller already holds the inode's i_rwsem.  The path_unlink and
path_rmdir hooks are listed, but security_path_unlink() and
security_path_rmdir() run before vfs_unlink()/vfs_rmdir() take the
victim inode's i_rwsem, so a sleepable BPF LSM program attached to
either hook mutates the victim's xattrs without the lock held.

Drop the two path hooks from d_inode_locked_hooks so that the verifier
keeps the locking bpf_[set|remove]_dentry_xattr() variants, which take
the lock themselves.
