The filestreams allocator stores an xfs_fstrm_item structure in the MRU to cache inode number to agno mappings for a particular length of time. Each xfs_fstrm_item contains the internal MRU structure, an inode pointer and agno value. The inode pointer stored in the xfs_fstrm_item is not referenced, however, which means the inode itself can be removed and reclaimed before the MRU item is freed. If this occurs, xfs_fstrm_free_func() can access freed or unrelated memory through xfs_fstrm_item->ip and crash. The obvious solution is to grab an inode reference for xfs_fstrm_item. The filestream mechanism only actually uses the inode pointer as a means to access the xfs_mount, however. Rather than add unnecessary complexity, simplify the implementation to store an xfs_mount pointer in struct xfs_mru_cache, and pass it to the free callback. This also requires updates to the tracepoint class to provide the associated data via parameters rather than the inode and a minor hack to peek at the MRU key to establish the inode number at free time. Based on debugging work and an earlier patch from Brian Foster, who also wrote most of this changelog.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
