under below scenario the obj->fence would refer to a wild pointer:

1,call reservation_object_reserved_shared
2,call reservation_object_add_shared_fence
3,call reservation_object_reserved_shared
4,call reservation_object_add_shared_fence

in step 1, staged is allocated,

in step 2, code path will go reservation_object_add_shared_replace()
and obj->fence would be assigned as staged (through RCU_INIT_POINTER)

in step 3, obj->staged will be freed(by simple kfree),
which make obj->fence point to a wild pointer...


Well that explanation is still nonsense. See reservation_object_add_shared_fence:
        obj->staged = NULL;

Among the first things reservation_object_add_shared_fence() does is it sets obj->staged to NULL.

So step 3 will not free anything and we never have a wild pointer.

Christian.


in step 4, code path will go reservation_object_add_shared_inplace()
and inside it the @fobj (which equals to @obj->staged, set by above steps)
is already a wild pointer

should remov the kfree on staged in reservation_object_reserve_shared()
