Subject: ovl: fix incorrect fdput() on aio completion
From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 724768a39374d35b70eaeae8dd87048a2ec7ae8e upstream.
ovl_{read,write}_iter() always call fdput(real) to put one or zero
refcounts of the real file, but for aio, whether it was submitted or not,
ovl_aio_put() also calls fdput(), which is not balanced. This is only a
problem in the less common case when FDPUT_FPUT flag is set.
To fix the problem use get_file() to take file refcount and use fput()
instead of fdput() in ovl_aio_put().
Fixes: 2406a307ac7d ("ovl: implement async IO routines")
