Description

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

fs: dlm: fix race in lowcomms

This patch fixes a race between queue_work() in
_dlm_lowcomms_commit_msg() and srcu_read_unlock(). The queue_work() can
take the final reference of a dlm_msg and so msg->idx can contain
garbage which is signaled by the following warning:

I reproduced this warning with dlm_locktorture test which is currently
not upstream. However this patch fix the issue by make a additional
refcount between dlm_lowcomms_new_msg() and dlm_lowcomms_commit_msg().
In case of the race the kref_put() in dlm_lowcomms_commit_msg() will be
the final put.
