commit 9a254403760041528bc8f69fe2f5e1ef86950991 upstream.
Example for triggering use after free in a overlay on ext4 setup:
aio_read ovl_read_iter vfs_iter_read ext4_file_read_iter ext4_dio_read_iter iomap_dio_rw -> -EIOCBQUEUED /* * Here IO is completed in a separate thread, * ovl_aio_cleanup_handler() frees aio_req which has iocb embedded */ file_accessed(iocb->ki_filp); /**BOOM**/
Fix by introducing a refcount in ovl_aio_req similarly to aio_kiocb. This guarantees that iocb is only freed after vfs_read/write_iter() returns on underlying fs.
