[PATCH v2] ceph: Fix use-after-free in __ceph_remove_cap

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Fri Oct 25 2019 - 09:05:29 EST


KASAN reports a use-after-free when running xfstest generic/531, with the
following trace:

[ 293.903417] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

This happens because __ceph_remove_cap() may queue a cap release
(__ceph_queue_cap_release) which can be scheduled before that cap is
removed from the inode list with

rb_erase(&cap->ci_node, &ci->i_caps);

And, when this finally happens, the use-after-free will occur.

This can be fixed by removing the cap from the inode list before being
removed from the session list, and thus eliminating the risk of an UAF.

Hi!

So, after spending some time trying to find possible races throught code
review and testing, I modified the fix according to Jeff's suggestion.

Cheers,
Luis
