Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 4/4] fuse: wait for FR_FINISHED on abort_on_kill to prevent use-after-free
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:42:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831164256.270090-4-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831164256.270090-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Rochan Avlur <rochan.avlur@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 64b0b5cacbd2fea88001464cb712c9dfc795b26e ]
The abort_on_kill path in request_wait_answer() calls fuse_abort_conn()
and returns without waiting for FR_FINISHED. If fuse_dev_do_write() is
concurrently processing the same request (FR_LOCKED set), the caller
frees req->args while it is still being accessed, causing a
use-after-free.
Fix this by jumping to the existing wait_event(FR_FINISHED) instead of
returning early. The wait will not hang because fuse_abort_conn()
ensures all requests are ended.
