[PATCH v4 16/22] netfs: Fix potential UAF in netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages()

Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.netfs,org.kernel.vger.ceph-devel,org.kernel.vger.linux-cifs,org.kernel.vger.linux-fsdevel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages(rreq) accesses the index of the folios it
is wanting to unlock and compares that to rreq->no_unlock_folio so that it
doesn't unlock a folio being read for netfs_perform_write() or
netfs_write_begin().

However, given that netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages() is called _after_
NETFS_RREQ_IN_PROGRESS is cleared, the one folio that it's not allowed to
dereference is the one specified by ->no_unlock_folio as ownership
immediately reverts to the caller.

Fix this by storing the folio pointer instead and using that rather than
the index.  Also fix netfs_unlock_read_folio() where the same applies.

Fixes: ee4cdf7ba857 ("netfs: Speed up buffered reading")
