Subject: [PATCH 3/3] lib/percpu-refcount: drain ->release() in perpcu_ref_exit()
Date:   Wed, 14 Dec 2022 10:51:01 +0800
Message-Id: <20221214025101.1268437-4-ming.lei@redhat.com>

The pattern of wait_event(percpu_ref_is_zero()) has been used in several
kernel components, and this way actually has the following risk:

- percpu_ref_is_zero() can be returned just between
  atomic_long_sub_and_test() and ref->data->release(ref)

- given the refcount is found as zero, percpu_ref_exit() could
  be called, and the host data structure is freed

- then use-after-free is triggered in ->release() when the user host
  data structure is freed after percpu_ref_exit() returns
