// load UAF !!!
This issue is caused by issuing a restore command when the daemon is
still
alive, which results in a request being processed multiple times thus
triggering a UAF. So to avoid this problem, add an additional reference
count to cachefiles_req, which is held while waiting and reading, and
then
released when the waiting and reading is over.
Note that since there is only one reference count for waiting, we
need to
avoid the same request being completed multiple times, so we can only
complete the request if it is successfully removed from the xarray.
Sorry the above description makes me confused. As the same request may
be got by different daemon threads multiple times, the introduced
refcount mechanism can't protect it from being completed multiple times
(which is expected). The refcount only protects it from being freed
multiple times.
The idea here is that because the wait only holds one reference count,
complete(&req->done) can only be called when the req has been
successfully removed from the xarry, otherwise the following UAF may
occur:
"complete(&req->done) can only be called when the req has been
successfully removed from the xarry ..."
How this is done? since the following xarray_erase() following the first
xarray_erase() will fail as the xarray slot referred by the same id has
already been erased?

When "goto out;" is called in cachefiles_ondemand_send_req(),
it means that the req is unallocated/failed to be allocated/failed to
be inserted into the xarry, and therefore the req can only be accessed
by the current function, so there is no need to consider concurrency
and reference counting.
Okay I understand. But this is indeed quite confusing. I see no cost of
also converting to cachefiles_req_put(req).
Yes, kfree(req) converts to cachefiles_req_put(req) at no cost,
but may trigger a NULL pointer dereference in cachefiles_req_put(req)
if the req has not been initialised.
