Subject: userns: move user access out of the mutex
X-Git-Tag: v4.19~297^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5820f140edef111a9ea2ef414ab2428b8cb805b1;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

userns: move user access out of the mutex

The old code would hold the userns_state_mutex indefinitely if
memdup_user_nul stalled due to e.g. a userfault region. Prevent that by
moving the memdup_user_nul in front of the mutex_lock().

Note: This changes the error precedence of invalid buf/count/*ppos vs
map already written / capabilities missing.

Fixes: 22d917d80e84 ("userns: Rework the user_namespace adding uid/gid...")
