From bdcf0a423ea1c40bbb40e7ee483b50fc8aa3d758 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thiago Rafael Becker Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2017 15:33:12 -0800 Subject: kernel: make groups_sort calling a responsibility group_info allocators In testing, we found that nfsd threads may call set_groups in parallel for the same entry cached in auth.unix.gid, racing in the call of groups_sort, corrupting the groups for that entry and leading to permission denials for the client. This patch: - Make groups_sort globally visible. - Move the call to groups_sort to the modifiers of group_info - Remove the call to groups_sort from set_groups Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171211151420.18655-1-thiago.becker@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Thiago Rafael Becker Reviewed-by: Matthew Wilcox Reviewed-by: NeilBrown Acked-by: "J.
