KASAN reports a use-after-free when running xfstest generic/531, with the following trace: [ 293.903362] kasan_report+0xe/0x20 [ 293.903365] rb_erase+0x1f/0x790 [ 293.903370] __ceph_remove_cap+0x201/0x370 [ 293.903375] __ceph_remove_caps+0x4b/0x70 [ 293.903380] ceph_evict_inode+0x4e/0x360 [ 293.903386] evict+0x169/0x290 [ 293.903390] __dentry_kill+0x16f/0x250 [ 293.903394] dput+0x1c6/0x440 [ 293.903398] __fput+0x184/0x330 [ 293.903404] task_work_run+0xb9/0xe0 [ 293.903410] exit_to_usermode_loop+0xd3/0xe0 [ 293.903413] do_syscall_64+0x1a0/0x1c0 [ 293.903417] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 This happens because __ceph_remove_cap() may queue a cap release (__ceph_queue_cap_release) which can be scheduled before that cap is removed from the inode list with rb_erase(&cap->ci_node, &ci->i_caps); And, when this finally happens, the use-after-free will occur. This can be fixed by removing the cap from the inode list before being removed from the session list, and thus eliminating the risk of an UAF.

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.
