[PATCH 2/5] exec: binfmt_misc: shift filp_close(interp_file) from kill_node() to bm_evict_inode()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Fri Sep 22 2017 - 10:37:40 EST


to ensure that load_misc_binary() can't use the partially destroyed
Node, see also the next patch.

The current logic looks wrong in any case, once we close interp_file
it doesn't make any sense to delay kfree(inode->i_private), this Node
is no longer valid. Even if the MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE/interp_file checks
were not racy (they are), load_misc_binary() should not try to reopen
->interpreter if MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE is set but ->interp_file is NULL.

And I can't understand why do we use filp_close(), not fput().
