There is a potential race between fuse_dev_do_write()
and request_wait_answer() contexts as shown below:
TASK 1:
__fuse_request_send():
|--spin_lock(&fiq->waitq.lock);
|--queue_request();
|--spin_unlock(&fiq->waitq.lock);
|--request_wait_answer():
|--if (test_bit(FR_SENT, &req->flags))
<gets pre-empted after it is validated true>
TASK 2:
fuse_dev_do_write():
|--clears bit FR_SENT,
|--request_end():
|--sets bit FR_FINISHED
|--spin_lock(&fiq->waitq.lock);
|--list_del_init(&req->intr_entry);
|--spin_unlock(&fiq->waitq.lock);
|--fuse_put_request();
|--queue_interrupt();
<request gets queued to interrupts list>
|--wake_up_locked(&fiq->waitq);
|--wait_event_freezable();
<as FR_FINISHED is set, it returns and then
the caller frees this request>
Now, the next fuse_dev_do_read(), see interrupts list is not empty
and then calls fuse_read_interrupt() which tries to access the request
which is already free'd and gets the below crash:
[11432.401266] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address

As FR_FINISHED bit is set before deleting the intr_entry with input
queue lock in request completion path, do the testing of this flag and
queueing atomically with the same lock in queue_interrupt().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
