3.16.35-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Robert Doebbelin <robert@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7cabc61e01a0a8b663bd2b4c982aa53048218734 upstream. There's a race in fuse_direct_IO(), whereby is_sync_kiocb() is called on an iocb that could have been freed if async io has already completed. The fix in this case is simple and obvious: cache the result before starting io.
