Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: use cifs_invalidate_cache() in cifs_do_truncate() for O_TRUNC
cifs_do_truncate() is invoked from cifs_open() without i_rwsem, so it
cannot use cifs_resize_file_locked() to perform a proper fscache cookie
resize. Instead, add cifs_invalidate_cache() after cifs_setsize().
cifs_invalidate_cache() calls fscache_invalidate(), which works without
holding i_rwsem: it unconditionally increments inval_counter and sets
FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, ensuring that stale cached data is not
served once the cookie is later activated by fscache_use_cookie().
Truncation to zero leaves no valid cached data, making invalidation the
correct semantic here.
