There is a potential race between fuse_abort_conn() and fuse_copy_page() as shown below, due to which VM_BUG_ON_PAGE crash is observed. context#1: context#2: fuse_dev_do_read() fuse_abort_conn() ->fuse_copy_args() ->end_requests() ->fuse_copy_pages() ->request_end() ->fuse_copy_page() ->fuse_writepage_end) ->fuse_ref_page() ->fuse_writepage_free() ->__free_page() ->put_page_testzero() ->get_page() ->VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() This results in below crash as when ->put_page_testzero() in context#2 decrease the page reference and get_page() in context#1 accessed it with zero page reference count.
