[PATCH 4.4 61/85] fuse: dont check refcount after stealing page

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Sep 29 2020 - 07:06:29 EST


From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 32f98877c57bee6bc27f443a96f49678a2cd6a50 ]

page_count() is unstable. Unless there has been an RCU grace period
between when the page was removed from the page cache and now, a
speculative reference may exist from the page cache.
