Description d'origine

La description telle que publiée par la source (souvent en anglais).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: fix mb_cache_entry's e_refcnt leak in ext4_xattr_block_cache_find()

Syzbot reports a warning as follows:

============================================
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5075 at fs/mbcache.c:419 mb_cache_destroy+0x224/0x290
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 5075 Comm: syz-executor199 Not tainted 6.9.0-rc6-gb947cc5bf6d7
RIP: 0010:mb_cache_destroy+0x224/0x290 fs/mbcache.c:419
Call Trace:

ext4_put_super+0x6d4/0xcd0 fs/ext4/super.c:1375

kill_block_super+0x44/0x90 fs/super.c:1675
ext4_kill_sb+0x68/0xa0 fs/ext4/super.c:7327
[...]

This is because when finding an entry in ext4_xattr_block_cache_find(), if
ext4_sb_bread() returns -ENOMEM, the ce's e_refcnt, which has already grown
in the __entry_find(), won't be put away, and eventually trigger the above
issue in mb_cache_destroy() due to reference count leakage.

So call mb_cache_entry_put() on the -ENOMEM error branch as a quick fix.
