selinux: no recursive read_lock of policy_rwlock in security_genfs_sid()
With the introduction of fair queued rwlock, recursive read_lock() may hang the offending process if there is a write_lock() somewhere in between. With recursive read_lock checking enabled, the following error was reported: ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 3.16.0-rc1 #2 Tainted: G E --------------------------------------------- load_policy/708 is trying to acquire lock: (policy_rwlock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff8125b32a>] security_genfs_sid+0x3a/0x170 but task is already holding lock: (policy_rwlock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff8125b48c>] security_fs_use+0x2c/0x110 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(policy_rwlock); lock(policy_rwlock); This patch fixes the occurrence of recursive read_lock() of policy_rwlock by adding a helper function __security_genfs_sid() which requires caller to take the lock before calling it. The security_fs_use() was then modified to call the new helper function.
