Sahitya Tummala 6ba4d2722d fuse: fix use after free issue in fuse_dev_do_read()
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
6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b
...
[11432.418518] Kernel BUG at ffffff80083720e0

...

[11432.693180] [<ffffff80082c6b14>] fuse_dev_read+0x6c/0x78
[11432.699082] [<ffffff80081d5638>] __vfs_read+0xc0/0xe8

[11432.709406] [<ffffff80081d67f0>] SyS_read+0x58/0x94

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.
