4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a2477b0e67c52f4364a47c3ad70902bc2a61bd4c upstream. fuse_dev_splice_write() reads pipe->buffers to determine the size of 'bufs' array before taking the pipe_lock(). This is not safe as another thread might change the 'pipe->buffers' between the allocation and taking the pipe_lock(). So we end up with too small 'bufs' array. Move the bufs allocations inside pipe_lock()/pipe_unlock() to fix this.
