Zhen Lei 98e2e409e7 nilfs2: use refcount_dec_and_lock() to fix potential UAF
When the refcount is decreased to 0, the resource reclamation branch is
entered.  Before CPU0 reaches the race point (1), CPU1 may obtain the
spinlock and traverse the rbtree to find 'root', see
nilfs_lookup_root().

Although CPU1 will call refcount_inc() to increase the refcount, it is
obviously too late.  CPU0 will release 'root' directly, CPU1 then
accesses 'root' and triggers UAF.

Use refcount_dec_and_lock() to ensure that both the operations of
decrease refcount to 0 and link deletion are lock protected eliminates
this risk.

	     CPU0                      CPU1
	nilfs_put_root():
		    <-------- (1)
				spin_lock(&nilfs->ns_cptree_lock);
				rb_erase(&root->rb_node, &nilfs->ns_cptree);
				spin_unlock(&nilfs->ns_cptree_lock);

	kfree(root);
		    <-------- use-after-free

  refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

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 Restructured Text 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.
