Publishing an object to the world needs to happen last, only once it's
fully set up. It's unfortunately a very common bug, and definitely not
limited to use-after-free fun. E.g. here you could also confuse the kernel
if you manage to sneak in an ioctl on the new fd, while it's not yet fully
ready for those. fd_install() is just one of these.
Except review and maybe automatic analysis tools for the common I'm not
sure how to catch these better. Because the race is generally small,
tests&fuzzing tend to not hit these.
Thanks a lot for spotting this issue, patch applied.
Cheers, Daniel
