Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: stop reclaim before pushing AIL during unmount
The unmount sequence in xfs_unmount_flush_inodes() pushed the AIL while
background reclaim and inodegc are still running. This is broken
independently of any use-after-free issues - background reclaim and
inodegc should not be running while the AIL is being pushed during
unmount, as inodegc can dirty and insert inodes into the AIL during the
flush, and background reclaim can race to abort and free dirty inodes.
Reorder xfs_unmount_flush_inodes() to stop inodegc and cancel background
reclaim before pushing the AIL. Stop inodegc before cancelling
m_reclaim_work because the inodegc worker can re-queue m_reclaim_work
via xfs_inodegc_set_reclaimable.
