Linux kernel source tree
26f204380a
The fcntl's F_SETOWN command sets the process that handle SIGIO/SIGURG
for the related file descriptor. Before this change, the
file_set_fowner LSM hook was always called, ignoring the VFS logic which
may not actually change the process that handles SIGIO (e.g. TUN, TTY,
dnotify), nor update the related UID/EUID.
Moreover, because security_file_set_fowner() was called without lock
(e.g. f_owner.lock), concurrent F_SETOWN commands could result to a race
condition and inconsistent LSM states (e.g. SELinux's fown_sid) compared
to struct fown_struct's UID/EUID.
This change makes sure the LSM states are always in sync with the VFS
state by moving the security_file_set_fowner() call close to the
UID/EUID updates and using the same f_owner.lock .
Rename f_modown() to __f_setown() to simplify code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
