Dave Chinner 37fd167824 xfs: fix use-after-free race in xfs_buf_rele 
When looking at a 4.18 based KASAN use after free report, I noticed
that racing xfs_buf_rele() may race on dropping the last reference
to the buffer and taking the buffer lock. This was the symptom
displayed by the KASAN report, but the actual issue that was
reported had already been fixed in 4.19-rc1 by commit e339dd8d8b
("xfs: use sync buffer I/O for sync delwri queue submission").

Despite this, I think there is still an issue with xfs_buf_rele()
in this code:

        release = atomic_dec_and_lock(&bp->b_hold, &pag->pag_buf_lock);
        spin_lock(&bp->b_lock);
        if (!release) {
.....

If two threads race on the b_lock after both dropping a reference
and one getting dropping the last reference so release = true, we
end up with:

CPU 0				CPU 1
atomic_dec_and_lock()
				atomic_dec_and_lock()
				spin_lock(&bp->b_lock)
spin_lock(&bp->b_lock)
<spins>
				<release = true bp->b_lru_ref = 0>
				<remove from lists>
				freebuf = true
				spin_unlock(&bp->b_lock)
				xfs_buf_free(bp)
<gets lock, reading and writing freed memory>
<accesses freed memory>
spin_unlock(&bp->b_lock) <reads/writes freed memory>

IOWs, we can't safely take bp->b_lock after dropping the hold
reference because the buffer may go away at any time after we
drop that reference. However, this can be fixed simply by taking the
bp->b_lock before we drop the reference.

It is safe to nest the pag_buf_lock inside bp->b_lock as the
pag_buf_lock is only used to serialise against lookup in
xfs_buf_find() and no other locks are held over or under the
pag_buf_lock there. Make this clear by documenting the buffer lock
orders at the top of the file.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
