commit 712a951025c0667ff00b25afc360f74e639dfabe upstream. It is possible to trigger a crash by splicing anon pipe bufs to the fuse device. The reason for this is that anon_pipe_buf_release() will reuse buf->page if the refcount is 1, but that page might have already been stolen and its flags modified (e.g. PG_lru added). This happens in the unlikely case of fuse_dev_splice_write() getting around to calling pipe_buf_release() after a page has been stolen, added to the page cache and removed from the page cache. Fix by calling pipe_buf_release() right after the page was inserted into the page cache. In this case the page has an elevated refcount so any release function will know that the page isn't reusable.

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.
