From ed2c7da3a40c58410508fe24e12d03e508d7ec01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Johansen Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:46:27 -0700 Subject: apparmor: fix bad lock balance when introspecting policy BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235977 The profile introspection seq file has a locking bug when policy is viewed from a virtual root (task in a policy namespace), introspection from the real root is not affected. The test for root while (parent) { is correct for the real root, but incorrect for tasks in a policy namespace. This allows the task to walk backup the policy tree past its virtual root causing it to be unlocked before the virtual root should be in the p_stop fn. This results in the following lockdep back trace: [ 78.479744] [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ] [ 78.479792] 3.11.0-11-generic #17 Not tainted [ 78.479838] ------------------------------------- [ 78.479885] grep/2223 is trying to release lock (&ns->lock) at: [ 78.479952] [] mutex_unlock+0xe/0x10 [ 78.480002] but there are no more locks to release!
