If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 744742d692e37ad5c20630e57d526c8f2e2fe3c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:35:34 -0600 Subject: fuse: Add reference counting for fuse_io_priv From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 744742d692e37ad5c20630e57d526c8f2e2fe3c9 upstream. The 'reqs' member of fuse_io_priv serves two purposes. First is to track the number of oustanding async requests to the server and to signal that the io request is completed. The second is to be a reference count on the structure to know when it can be freed. For sync io requests these purposes can be at odds. fuse_direct_IO() wants to block until the request is done, and since the signal is sent when 'reqs' reaches 0 it cannot keep a reference to the object. Yet it needs to use the object after the userspace server has completed processing requests. This leads to some handshaking and special casing that it needlessly complicated and responsible for at least one race condition. It's much cleaner and safer to maintain a separate reference count for the object lifecycle and to let 'reqs' just be a count of outstanding requests to the userspace server. Then we can know for sure when it is safe to free the object without any handshaking or special cases. The catch here is that most of the time these objects are stack allocated and should not be freed. Initializing these objects with a single reference that is never released prevents accidental attempts to free the objects.
