[PATCH 2/3] ceph: fix use-after-free in ceph_readdir

From: Luís Henriques
Date: Fri Mar 04 2022 - 11:14:03 EST


After calling ceph_mdsc_put_request() on dfi->last_readdir, this field
should be set to NULL, otherwise we may end-up freeing it twince and get
the following splat:

refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 229 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0xa6/0xf0
