The cookie must not be\nwithdrawn until it drops to zero.\n\nThe counter is checked by fscache_cookie_state_machine() before\nswitching to FSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_RELINQUISHING and\nFSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_WITHDRAWING (in \"case\nFSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_FAILED\"), but not for\nFSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_LRU_DISCARDING (\"case\nFSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_ACTIVE\").\n\nThis patch adds the missing check. With a non-zero access counter,\nthe function returns and the next fscache_end_cookie_access() call\nwill queue another fscache_cookie_state_machine() call to handle the\nstill-pending FSCACHE_COOKIE_DO_LRU_DISCARD.", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "12bb21a29c19aae50cfad4e2bb5c943108f34a7d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "b8a50877f68efdcc0be3fcc5116e00c31b90e45b" }, { "version": "12bb21a29c19aae50cfad4e2bb5c943108f34a7d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "dfaa39b05a6cf34a16c525a2759ee6ab26b5fef6" }, { "version": "12bb21a29c19aae50cfad4e2bb5c943108f34a7d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "0a4d41fa14b2a0efd40e350cfe8ec6a4c998ac1d" }, { "version": "12bb21a29c19aae50cfad4e2bb5c943108f34a7d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "f71aa06398aabc2e3eaac25acdf3d62e0094ba70" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "5.17", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "5.17" }, { "version": "6.1.107", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*" }, { "version": "6.6.48", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.10.7", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.10.*" }, { "version": "6.11", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
