Subject: [PATCH 01/11] netfs: Fix early put of sink folio in netfs_read_gaps()
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 09:36:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420083705.1009074-2-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420083705.1009074-1-dhowells@redhat.com>

Fix netfs_read_gaps() to release the sink page it uses after waiting for
the request to complete.  The way the sink page is used is that an
ITER_BVEC-class iterator is created that has the gaps from the target folio
at either end, but has the sink page tiled over the middle so that a single
read op can fill in both gaps.

The bug was found by KASAN detecting a UAF on the generic/075 xfstest in
the cifsd kernel thread that handles reception of data from the TCP socket:

 BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in _copy_to_iter+0x48a/0xa20
