Subject: [PATCH] netfs: Fix early put of sink folio in netfs_read_gaps()
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 12:16:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <261128.1776251770@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)

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:
