[PATCH 1/4] ext4: Fix possible use-after-free with AIO

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
Date: 2013-01-23 12:56:17
Also in: linux-fsdevel
Subsystem: ext4 file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

Possibly related (same subject, not in this thread)

Running AIO is pinning inode in memory using file reference. Once AIO
is completed using aio_complete(), file reference is put and inode can
be freed from memory. So we have to be sure that calling aio_complete()
is the last thing we do with the inode.
