Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fsnotify: clear PARENTWATCHED flags lazily

In some setups directories can have many (usually negative) dentries. Hence fsnotifyupdatechilddentryflags() function can take a significant amount of time. Since the bulk of this function happens under inode->ilock this causes a significant contention on the lock when we remove the watch from the directory as the fsnotifyupdatechilddentryflags() call from fsnotifyrecalcmask() races with fsnotifyupdatechilddentryflags() calls from fsnotifyparent() happening on children. This can lead upto softlockup reports reported by users.

Fix the problem by calling fsnotifyupdatechildrendentryflags() to set PARENTWATCHED flags only when parent starts watching children.

When parent stops watching children, clear false positive PARENTWATCHED flags lazily in fsnotifyparent() for each accessed child.
