[PATCH 1/2] fuse: Fix race in fuse_writepage_in_flight()

From: Kirill Tkhai
Date: Mon Nov 26 2018 - 04:46:19 EST


Checking for FR_PENDING in fuse_writepage_in_flight() is racy.
It does not guarantee the first request in misc.write.next list
is not in userspace, since there we take fc->lock, while
fuse_dev_do_read() takes fiq->waitq.lock:

fuse_dev_read() fuse_writepage_in_flight()
test_bit(FR_PENDING)
clear_bit(FR_PENDING)
handle old_req->pages[0] in userspace
copy_highpage(old_req->pages[0], page)
^^^^^
userspace never sees this pages

The only reliable way to determ, whether we are able to replace
old_req's page, is to completely skip the first request in the list.
This patch makes the function to do that.
