+Subject: [PATCH] 9pfs: Fully restart unreclaim loop (CVE-2021-20181)
+
+Depending on the client activity, the server can be asked to open a huge
+number of file descriptors and eventually hit RLIMIT_NOFILE. This is
+currently mitigated using a reclaim logic : the server closes the file
+descriptors of idle fids, based on the assumption that it will be able
+to re-open them later. This assumption doesn't hold of course if the
+client requests the file to be unlinked. In this case, we loop on the
+entire fid list and mark all related fids as unreclaimable (the reclaim
+logic will just ignore them) and, of course, we open or re-open their
+file descriptors if needed since we're about to unlink the file.
+
+This is the purpose of v9fs_mark_fids_unreclaim(). Since the actual
+opening of a file can cause the coroutine to yield, another client
+request could possibly add a new fid that we may want to mark as
+non-reclaimable as well. The loop is thus restarted if the re-open
+request was actually transmitted to the backend. This is achieved
+by keeping a reference on the first fid (head) before traversing
+the list.
+
+This is wrong in several ways:
+- a potential clunk request from the client could tear the first
+  fid down and cause the reference to be stale. This leads to a
+  use-after-free error that can be detected with ASAN, using a
+  custom 9p client
+- fids are added at the head of the list : restarting from the
+  previous head will always miss fids added by a some other
+  potential request
+
+All these problems could be avoided if fids were being added at the
+end of the list. This can be achieved with a QSIMPLEQ, but this is
+probably too much change for a bug fix. For now let's keep it
+simple and just restart the loop from the current head.
