Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: fix use-after-free when unmounting read-only filesystem

It's trivial to trigger a use-after-free bug in the ocfs2 quotas code using
fstest generic/452. After mounting a filesystem as read-only, quotas are
suspended and ocfs2_mem_dqinfo is freed through ->ocfs2_local_free_info(). When
unmounting the filesystem, an UAF access to the oinfo will eventually cause a
crash.

generic/452 is for testing ext4 mounted with dax and ro.
But ocfs2 doesn't support dax yet.

In ocfs2_fill_super(), it won't enable quota if is a readonly mount.
Do you mean remount as readonly?

Thanks,

Right, but I think it's still useful to run the 'generic' test-suite in a
filesystem. We can always find issues in the test itself or, in this
case, a bug in the filesystem.

Yes, sorry. Instead of "mounting", the patch changelog should say

"After remounting a filesystem as read-only..."

Okay, look into the code flow, it does have problem when remount with
read-only.
BTW, it seems that we can't call into quota_disable() again, which will
call free_file_info().

Thanks,
