Darrick J. Wong 95ff0363f3 xfs: fix use-after-free in xattr node block inactivation
The kernel build robot reported a UAF error while running xfs/433
(edited somewhat for brevity):

I reproduced this for my own satisfaction, and got the same report,
along with an extra morsel:

 The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88802103a800
  which belongs to the cache xfs_buf of size 432
 The buggy address is located 396 bytes inside of
  432-byte region [ffff88802103a800, ffff88802103a9b0)

I tracked this code down to:

	error = xfs_trans_get_buf(*trans, mp->m_ddev_targp,
			child_blkno,
			XFS_FSB_TO_BB(mp, mp->m_attr_geo->fsbcount), 0,
			&child_bp);
	if (error)
		return error;
	error = bp->b_error;

That doesn't look right -- I think this should be dereferencing
child_bp, not bp.  Looking through the codebase history, I think this
was added by commit 2911edb653 ("xfs: remove the mappedbno argument to
xfs_da_get_buf"), which replaced a call to xfs_da_get_buf with the
current call to xfs_trans_get_buf.  Not sure why we trans_brelse'd @bp
earlier in the function, but I'm guessing it's to avoid pinning too many
buffers in memory while we inactivate the bottom of the attr tree.
Hence we now have to get the buffer back.

I /think/ this was supposed to check child_bp->b_error and fail the rest
of the invalidation if child_bp had experienced any kind of IO or
corruption error.  I bet the xfs_da3_node_read earlier in the loop will
catch most cases of incoming on-disk corruption which makes this check
mostly moot unless someone corrupts the buffer and the AIL pushes it out
to disk while the buffer's unlocked.

In the first case we'll never get to the bad check, and in the second
case the AIL will shut down the log, at which point there's no reason to
check b_error.  Remove the check, and null out @bp to avoid this problem
in the future.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
