ext4: fix use-after-free in dx_release()
The buffer_head (frames[0].bh) and it's corresping page can be potentially free'd once brelse() is done inside the for loop but before the for loop exits in dx_release(). It can be free'd in another context, when the page cache is flushed via drop_caches_sysctl_handler(). This results into below data abort when accessing info->indirect_levels in dx_release(). Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffc17ac3e01e Call trace: dx_release+0x70/0x90 ext4_htree_fill_tree+0x2d4/0x300 ext4_readdir+0x244/0x6f8 iterate_dir+0xbc/0x160 SyS_getdents64+0x94/0x174 Signed-off-by: Sahitya Tummala <stummala@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Reviewed-by: Andreas Dilger <adilger@dilger.ca> Cc: stable@kernel.org
