***** SUSPECTED SPAM ***** [PATCH 50/50] xfs: use reference counts to free clean buffer items

[Dave Chinner <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

When a transaction is cancelled and the buffer log item is clean in
the transaction, the buffer log item is unconditionally freed. If
the log item is in the AIL, however, this leads to a use after free
condition as the item still has other users.

In this case, xfs_buf_item_relse() should only be called on clean
buffer items if the reference count has dropped to zero. This
ensures only the last user frees the item.
