Subject: [PATCH 2/5] brd: synchronize using page and free page with rcu

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

Currently, after fetching the page by xa_load() in IO path, there is no
protection and page can be freed concurrently by discard:

cpu0
brd_submit_bio
 brd_do_bvec
  page = brd_lookup_page
                          cpu1
                          brd_submit_bio
                           brd_do_discard
                            page = __xa_erase()
                            __free_page()
  // page UAF

Fix the problem by protecting page with rcu.
