+Subject: cifs: fix use-after-free bug in find_writable_file
+
+From: David Disseldorp <ddiss@suse.de>
+
+commit e1e9bda22d7ddf88515e8fe401887e313922823e upstream.
+
+Under intermittent network outages, find_writable_file() is susceptible
+to the following race condition, which results in a user-after-free in
+the cifs_writepages code-path:
+
+Thread 1 Thread 2
+======== ========
+
+inv_file = NULL
+refind = 0
+spin_lock(&cifs_file_list_lock)
+
+// invalidHandle found on openFileList
+
+inv_file = open_file
+// inv_file->count currently 1
+
+cifsFileInfo_get(inv_file)
+// inv_file->count = 2
+
+spin_unlock(&cifs_file_list_lock);
+
+cifs_reopen_file() cifs_close()
+// fails (rc != 0) ->cifsFileInfo_put()
+ spin_lock(&cifs_file_list_lock)
+ // inv_file->count = 1
+ spin_unlock(&cifs_file_list_lock)
+
+spin_lock(&cifs_file_list_lock);
+list_move_tail(&inv_file->flist,
+ &cifs_inode->openFileList);
+spin_unlock(&cifs_file_list_lock);
+
+cifsFileInfo_put(inv_file);
+->spin_lock(&cifs_file_list_lock)
+
+ // inv_file->count = 0
+ list_del(&cifs_file->flist);
+ // cleanup!!
+ kfree(cifs_file);
+
+ spin_unlock(&cifs_file_list_lock);
+
+spin_lock(&cifs_file_list_lock);
+++refind;
+// refind = 1
+goto refind_writable;
+
+At this point we loop back through with an invalid inv_file pointer
+and a refind value of 1. On second pass, inv_file is not overwritten on
+openFileList traversal, and is subsequently dereferenced.
