From 21c9f5ccb103868c730aec6f8548e144ec397fed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2015 21:47:49 -0400 Subject: p9_client_attach(): set fid->uid correctly it's almost always equal to current_fsuid(), but there's an exception - if the first writeback fid is opened by non-root *and* that happens before root has done any lookups in /, we end up doing attach for root. The current code leaves the resulting FID owned by root from the server POV and by non-root from the client one. Unfortunately, it means that e.g. massive dcache eviction will leave that user buggered - they'll end up redoing walks from / *and* picking that FID every time. As soon as they try to create something, the things will get nasty.
