From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit ae6650163c66a7eff1acd6eb8b0f752dcfa8eba5 ] 范龙飞 reports that KASAN can report a use-after-free in __lock_acquire. The reason is due to insufficient serialization in lo_release(), which will continue to use the loop device even after it has decremented the lo_refcnt to zero. In the meantime, another process can come in, open the loop device again as it is being shut down. Confusion ensues.
