  "summary": "SUNRPC: Fix RPC client cleaned up the freed pipefs dentries",
  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nSUNRPC: Fix RPC client cleaned up the freed pipefs dentries\n\nRPC client pipefs dentries cleanup is in separated rpc_remove_pipedir()\nworkqueue,which takes care about pipefs superblock locking.\nIn some special scenarios, when kernel frees the pipefs sb of the\ncurrent client and immediately alloctes a new pipefs sb,\nrpc_remove_pipedir function would misjudge the existence of pipefs\nsb which is not the one it used to hold. As a result,\nthe rpc_remove_pipedir would clean the released freed pipefs dentries.\n\nTo fix this issue, rpc_remove_pipedir should check whether the\ncurrent pipefs sb is consistent with the original pipefs sb.\n\nThis error can be catched by KASAN:\n=========================================================\n[  250.497700] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in dget_parent+0x195/0x200\n[  250.498315] Read of size 4 at addr ffff88800a2ab804 by task kworker/0:18/106503\n[  250.500549] Workqueue: events rpc_free_client_work\n[  250.501001] Call Trace:\n[  250.502880]  kasan_report+0xb6/0xf0\n[  250.503209]  ? dget_parent+0x195/0x200\n[  250.503561]  dget_parent+0x195/0x200\n[  250.503897]  ? __pfx_rpc_clntdir_depopulate+0x10/0x10\n[  250.504384]  rpc_rmdir_depopulate+0x1b/0x90\n[  250.504781]  rpc_remove_client_dir+0xf5/0x150\n[  250.505195]  rpc_free_client_work+0xe4/0x230\n[  250.505598]  process_one_work+0x8ee/0x13b0\n...\n[   22.039056] Allocated by task 244:\n[   22.039390]  kasan_save_stack+0x22/0x50\n[   22.039758]  kasan_set_track+0x25/0x30\n[   22.040109]  __kasan_slab_alloc+0x59/0x70\n[   22.040487]  kmem_cache_alloc_lru+0xf0/0x240\n[   22.040889]  __d_alloc+0x31/0x8e0\n[   22.041207]  d_alloc+0x44/0x1f0\n[   22.041514]  __rpc_lookup_create_exclusive+0x11c/0x140\n[   22.041987]  rpc_mkdir_populate.constprop.0+0x5f/0x110\n[   22.042459]  rpc_create_client_dir+0x34/0x150\n[   22.042874]  rpc_setup_pipedir_sb+0x102/0x1c0\n[   22.043284]  rpc_client_register+0x136/0x4e0\n[   22.043689]  rpc_new_client+0x911/0x1020\n[   22.044057]  rpc_create_xprt+0xcb/0x370\n[   22.044417]  rpc_create+0x36b/0x6c0\n...\n[   22.049524] Freed by task 0:\n[   22.049803]  kasan_save_stack+0x22/0x50\n[   22.050165]  kasan_set_track+0x25/0x30\n[   22.050520]  kasan_save_free_info+0x2b/0x50\n[   22.050921]  __kasan_slab_free+0x10e/0x1a0\n[   22.051306]  kmem_cache_free+0xa5/0x390\n[   22.051667]  rcu_core+0x62c/0x1930\n[   22.051995]  __do_softirq+0x165/0x52a\n[   22.052347]\n[   22.052503] Last potentially related work creation:\n[   22.052952]  kasan_save_stack+0x22/0x50\n[   22.053313]  __kasan_record_aux_stack+0x8e/0xa0\n[   22.053739]  __call_rcu_common.constprop.0+0x6b/0x8b0\n[   22.054209]  dentry_free+0xb2/0x140\n[   22.054540]  __dentry_kill+0x3be/0x540\n[   22.054900]  shrink_dentry_list+0x199/0x510\n[   22.055293]  shrink_dcache_parent+0x190/0x240\n[   22.055703]  do_one_tree+0x11/0x40\n[   22.056028]  shrink_dcache_for_umount+0x61/0x140\n[   22.056461]  generic_shutdown_super+0x70/0x590\n[   22.056879]  kill_anon_super+0x3a/0x60\n[   22.057234]  rpc_kill_sb+0x121/0x200",
