commit 724768a39374d35b70eaeae8dd87048a2ec7ae8e upstream. ovl_{read,write}_iter() always call fdput(real) to put one or zero refcounts of the real file, but for aio, whether it was submitted or not, ovl_aio_put() also calls fdput(), which is not balanced. This is only a problem in the less common case when FDPUT_FPUT flag is set. To fix the problem use get_file() to take file refcount and use fput() instead of fdput() in ovl_aio_put().

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.
