ksmbd: release ksmbd_inode ref via ksmbd_inode_put on lookup paths
ksmbd_query_inode_status() and ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() both take a
reference on a ksmbd_inode via __ksmbd_inode_lookup() (which performs
atomic_inc_not_zero()) and later release it using a bare
atomic_dec(&ci->m_count). Unlike ksmbd_inode_put(), a bare
atomic_dec() does not check whether the reference count has reached
zero, so if the caller happens to drop the last reference, the
ksmbd_inode is leaked: it stays in the global inode hash table with
m_count == 0, future __ksmbd_inode_lookup() calls reject it via
atomic_inc_not_zero(), and ksmbd_inode_free() is never invoked.
The race is:
T1: __ksmbd_inode_lookup() -> atomic_inc_not_zero(): m_count = 2
T2: ksmbd_inode_put() -> atomic_dec_and_test(): m_count = 1
(not freed)
T1: atomic_dec(&ci->m_count) -> m_count = 0
return (LEAK)
In ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode() the matched-fp path (which now also uses
ksmbd_inode_put()) cannot currently reach m_count == 0 because the
matched ksmbd_file holds its own reference on ci, but converting it to
the proper API keeps the three call sites consistent and avoids
future regressions if the locking changes.
Because ksmbd_inode_put() may free the ksmbd_inode if this drops the
last reference, the call must happen after up_read(&ci->m_lock) on the
two affected paths in ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode(). On the no-match path
this is a pure reordering; on the matched path ksmbd_fp_get() is
moved above the unlock so that the returned ksmbd_file is pinned
before the inode reference is released.
