Subject: [PATCH 3.8 100/166] ext4: fix use-after-free in ext4_mb_new_blocks

3.8.13.16 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Junho Ryu <jayr@...gle.com>

commit 4e8d2139802ce4f41936a687f06c560b12115247 upstream.

ext4_mb_put_pa should hold pa->pa_lock before accessing pa->pa_count.
While ext4_mb_use_preallocated checks pa->pa_deleted first and then
increments pa->count later, ext4_mb_put_pa decrements pa->pa_count
before holding pa->pa_lock and then sets pa->pa_deleted.

* Free sequence
ext4_mb_put_pa (1):		atomic_dec_and_test pa->pa_count
ext4_mb_put_pa (2):		lock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_put_pa (3):			check pa->pa_deleted
ext4_mb_put_pa (4):			set pa->pa_deleted=1
ext4_mb_put_pa (5):		unlock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_put_pa (6):		remove pa from a list
ext4_mb_pa_callback:		free pa

* Use sequence
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (1):	iterate over preallocation
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (2):	lock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (3):		check pa->pa_deleted
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (4):		increase pa->pa_count
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (5):	unlock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_release_context:	access pa

* Use-after-free sequence
[initial status]		<pa->pa_deleted = 0, pa_count = 1>
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (1):	iterate over preallocation
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (2):	lock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (3):		check pa->pa_deleted
ext4_mb_put_pa (1):		atomic_dec_and_test pa->pa_count
[pa_count decremented]		<pa->pa_deleted = 0, pa_count = 0>
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (4):		increase pa->pa_count
[pa_count incremented]		<pa->pa_deleted = 0, pa_count = 1>
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (5):	unlock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_put_pa (2):		lock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_put_pa (3):			check pa->pa_deleted
ext4_mb_put_pa (4):			set pa->pa_deleted=1
[race condition!]		<pa->pa_deleted = 1, pa_count = 1>
ext4_mb_put_pa (5):		unlock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_put_pa (6):		remove pa from a list
ext4_mb_pa_callback:		free pa
ext4_mb_release_context:	access pa

AddressSanitizer has detected use-after-free in ext4_mb_new_blocks
