Re: [PATCH] netfs: Fix UAF in netfs_unbuffered_write() on failed preparation

Hi David and hongao,

Please refer to my blog for the tracing log and reproduction steps:
https://chenxiaosong.com/en/netfs-uaf-in-netfs_unbuffered_write.html (I 
will make sure this link is always accessible)

I would appreciate it if you could continue debugging and fixing this 
issue. As I have many SMB features to implement and review tasks to do.
