Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> netfs: Fix double put of request<br /> <br /> If a netfs request finishes during the pause loop, it will have the ref<br /> that belongs to the IN_PROGRESS flag removed at that point - however, if it<br /> then goes to the final wait loop, that will *also* put the ref because it<br /> sees that the IN_PROGRESS flag is clear and incorrectly assumes that this<br /> happened when it called the collector.<br /> <br /> In fact, since IN_PROGRESS is clear, we shouldn&amp;#39;t call the collector again<br /> since it&amp;#39;s done all the cleanup, such as calling -&gt;ki_complete().<br /> <br /> Fix this by making netfs_collect_in_app() just return, indicating that<br /> we&amp;#39;re done if IN_PROGRESS is removed.
