[PATCH 118/139] ocfs2: fix possible use-after-free with AIO

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Thu Feb 28 2013 - 09:51:03 EST


3.5.7.7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit 9b171e0c74ca0549d0610990a862dd895870f04a upstream.

Running AIO is pinning inode in memory using file reference. Once AIO
is completed using aio_complete(), file reference is put and inode can
be freed from memory. So we have to be sure that calling aio_complete()
is the last thing we do with the inode.
