When adding a VMCI resource, the check for an existing entry
would ignore that the new entry could be a wildcard. This could
result in multiple resource entries that would match a given
handle. One disastrous outcome of this is that the
refcounting used to ensure that delayed callbacks for VMCI
datagrams have run before the datagram is destroyed can be
wrong, since the refcount could be increased on the duplicate
entry. This in turn leads to a use after free bug. This issue
was discovered by Hangbin Liu using KASAN and syzkaller.

You
do know MODULE_VERSION means nothing, right? Please just remove it.
Sure. Do you want a new version of this patch with it removed ? (The reason for asking is that I already got a couple of notifications about the patch being added to char-misc and char-misc-next).
Thanks,
Jorgen
