commit9a25440376upstream. Example for triggering use after free in a overlay on ext4 setup: aio_read ovl_read_iter vfs_iter_read ext4_file_read_iter ext4_dio_read_iter iomap_dio_rw -> -EIOCBQUEUED /* * Here IO is completed in a separate thread, * ovl_aio_cleanup_handler() frees aio_req which has iocb embedded */ file_accessed(iocb->ki_filp); /**BOOM**/ Fix by introducing a refcount in ovl_aio_req similarly to aio_kiocb. This guarantees that iocb is only freed after vfs_read/write_iter() returns on underlying fs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
