I found the following path:
alloc_empty_backing-file
init_file(&ff->file, xxx)
-> file_ref_init(&f->f_ref, 1); // only 1
error = init_backing_file
-> security_backing_file_alloc
-> rc = call_int_hook(backing_file_alloc, ...)
if (unlikely(rc))
security_backing_file_free(backing_file); // first call
if (unlikely(error)) {
fput(&ff->file);
-> if (unlikely(file_ref_put(&file->f_ref))) // zero
__fput_deferred(file);
-> ____fput -> __fput -> file_free(file);
-> backing_file_free(backing_file(f));
-> security_backing_file_free(&ff->file); // second call
Currently, only SELinux has the lsm backing_file_alloc hook, and the
backing_file_free hook is not set. When security_backing_file_free is
called for the first time, the blobs pointer is set to NULL. Therefore,
double free will not occur in the code.
Fixes: 6af36aeb147a ("lsm: add backing_file LSM hooks")
