[PATCH] jfs: fix use-after-free in lbmIODone
From: Tristan Madani
Date: Sat Apr 18 2026 - 09:07:50 EST
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
lbmIODone() wakes up the I/O initiator in multiple paths before it has
finished accessing the lbuf structure. The initiator can then free the
lbuf while lbmIODone() is still running, leading to a use-after-free.
Fix by deferring all wakeups to the common exit path after the lbmDONE
flag is set. Change the wait condition to check for lbmDONE rather than
!lbmREAD, so the waiter only proceeds after lbmIODone() has completely
finished with the buffer.
