                                 refcount_set(&object->ref, 1);
                                 object->volume = volume
                                 fscache_count_object(vcookie->cache);
                                  atomic_inc(&fscache_cache->object_count)

     cachefiles_withdraw_volume

                              fscache_cookie_state_machine
                               cachefiles_withdraw_cookie
                                cache = object->volume->cache;
                                // cachefiles_volume UAF !!!

After setting FSCACHE_CACHE_IS_WITHDRAWN, wait for all the cookie lookups
to complete first, and then wait for fscache_cache->object_count == 0 to
avoid the cookie exiting after the volume has been freed and triggering
the above issue. Therefore call fscache_withdraw_volume() before calling
cachefiles_withdraw_objects().

This way, after setting FSCACHE_CACHE_IS_WITHDRAWN, only the following two
cases will occur:
1) fscache_begin_lookup fails in fscache_begin_volume_access().
2) fscache_withdraw_volume() will ensure that fscache_count_object() has
   been executed before calling fscache_wait_for_objects().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-41057 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
