6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 367a9bffabe08c04f6d725032cce3d891b2b9e1a ] nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers(), which iterates through the buffers attached to dirty data folios/pages, accesses the attached buffers without locking the folios/pages. For data cache, nilfs_clear_folio_dirty() may be called asynchronously when the file system degenerates to read only, so nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() still has the potential to cause use after free issues when buffers lose the protection of their dirty state midway due to this asynchronous clearing and are unintentionally freed by try_to_free_buffers(). Eliminate this race issue by adjusting the lock section in this function.
