NFS: fix BUG() crash in notify_change() with patch to chown_common()
We have observed a BUG() crash in fs/attr.c:notify_change(). The crash
occurs during an rsync into a filesystem that is exported via NFS.
1.) fs/attr.c:notify_change() modifies the caller's version of attr.
2.) 6de0ec00ba8d ("VFS: make notify_change pass ATTR_KILL_S*ID to
setattr operations") introduced a BUG() restriction such that "no
function will ever call notify_change() with both ATTR_MODE and
ATTR_KILL_S*ID set". Under some circumstances though, it will have
assisted in setting the caller's version of attr to this very
combination.
3.) 27ac0ffeac80 ("locks: break delegations on any attribute
modification") introduced code to handle breaking
delegations. This can result in notify_change() being re-called. attr
_must_ be explicitly reset to avoid triggering the BUG() established
in #2.
4.) The path that that triggers this is via fs/open.c:chmod_common().
The combination of attr flags set here and in the first call to
notify_change() along with a later failed break_deleg_wait()
results in notify_change() being called again via retry_deleg
without resetting attr.
Solution is to move retry_deleg in chmod_common() a bit further up to
ensure attr is completely reset.
There are other places where this seemingly could occur, such as
fs/utimes.c:utimes_common(), but the attr flags are not initially
set in such a way to trigger this.
Fixes: 27ac0ffeac80 ("locks: break delegations on any attribute modification")
