Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dax: make sure inodes are flushed before destroy cache
A bug can be triggered by following command
$ modprobe nd_pmem && modprobe -r nd_pmem
[ 10.060014] BUG dax_cache (Not tainted): Objects remaining in dax_cache on __kmem_cache_shutdown()
[ 10.060938] Slab 0x0000000085b729ac objects=9 used=1 fp=0x000000004f5ae469 flags=0x200000000010200(slab|head|node)
[ 10.062433] Call Trace:

[ 10.064058] __x64_sys_delete_module+0x265/0x300
This is caused by dax_fs_exit() not flushing inodes before destroy cache.
To fix this issue, call rcu_barrier() before destroy cache.
