5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Yang Erkun <yangerkun@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 2862eee078a4d2d1f584e7f24fa50dddfa5f3471 upstream. The function `c_show` was called with protection from RCU. This only ensures that `cp` will not be freed. Therefore, the reference count for `cp` can drop to zero, which will trigger a refcount use-after-free warning when `cache_get` is called. To resolve this issue, use `cache_get_rcu` to ensure that `cp` remains active. ------------[ cut here ]------------ refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
