xfs: bufferhead chains are invalid after end_page_writeback
In xfs_finish_page_writeback(), we have a loop that looks like this:
do {
if (off < bvec->bv_offset)
goto next_bh;
if (off > end)
break;
bh->b_end_io(bh, !error);
next_bh:
off += bh->b_size;
} while ((bh = bh->b_this_page) != head);
The b_end_io function is end_buffer_async_write(), which will call
end_page_writeback() once all the buffers have marked as no longer
under IO. This issue here is that the only thing currently
protecting both the bufferhead chain and the page from being
reclaimed is the PageWriteback state held on the page.
While we attempt to limit the loop to just the buffers covered by
the IO, we still read from the buffer size and follow the next
pointer in the bufferhead chain. There is no guarantee that either
of these are valid after the PageWriteback flag has been cleared.
Hence, loops like this are completely unsafe, and result in
use-after-free issues. One such problem was caught by Calvin Owens
with KASAN:

Where the access is occuring during IO completion after the buffer
had been freed from direct memory reclaim.
Prevent use-after-free accidents in this end_io processing loop by
pre-calculating the loop conditionals before calling bh->b_end_io().
The loop is already limited to just the bufferheads covered by the
IO in progress, so the offset checks are sufficient to prevent
accessing buffers in the chain after end_page_writeback() has been
called by the the bh->b_end_io() callout.
Yet another example of why Bufferheads Must Die.
