We got the following issue in our fault injection stress test:

Following is the process that triggers the issue:

    cachefiles_withdraw_objects(cache)
    fscache_wait_for_objects(fscache)
      atomic_read(&fscache_cache->object_count) == 0
                              fscache_perform_lookup
                               cachefiles_lookup_cookie
                                cachefiles_alloc_object
                                 refcount_set(&object->ref, 1);
                                 object->volume = volume
                                 fscache_count_object(vcookie->cache);
                                  atomic_inc(&fscache_cache->object_count)
    cachefiles_withdraw_volumes
     cachefiles_withdraw_volume
      fscache_withdraw_volume
      __cachefiles_free_volume
       kfree(cachefiles_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().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
