Merge branch 'ucount-fixes-for-v5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull ucounts fixes from Eric Biederman: "There has been one very hard to track down bug in the ucount code that we have been tracking since roughly v5.14 was released. Alex managed to find a reliable reproducer a few days ago and then I was able to instrument the code and figure out what the issue was. It turns out the sigqueue_alloc single atomic operation optimization did not play nicely with ucounts multiple level rlimits. It turned out that either sigqueue_alloc or sigqueue_free could be operating on multiple levels and trigger the conditions for the optimization on more than one level at the same time. To deal with that situation I have introduced inc_rlimit_get_ucounts and dec_rlimit_put_ucounts that just focuses on the optimization and the rlimit and ucount changes. While looking into the big bug I found I couple of other little issues so I am including those fixes here as well. When I have time I would very much like to dig into process ownership of the shared signal queue and see if we could pick a single owner for the entire queue so that all of the rlimits can count to that owner. That should entirely remove the need to call get_ucounts and put_ucounts in sigqueue_alloc and sigqueue_free. It is difficult because Linux unlike POSIX supports setuid that works on a single thread" * 'ucount-fixes-for-v5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: ucounts: Move get_ucounts from cred_alloc_blank to key_change_session_keyring ucounts: Proper error handling in set_cred_ucounts ucounts: Pair inc_rlimit_ucounts with dec_rlimit_ucoutns in commit_creds ucounts: Fix signal ucount refcounting
