CVE-2022-49220

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dax: make sure inodes are flushed before destroy cache A bug can be triggered by following command $ modprobe nd_pmem && modprobe -r nd_pmem [ 10.060014] BUG dax_cache (Not tainted): Objects remaining in dax_cache on __kmem_cache_shutdown() [ 10.060938] Slab 0x0000000085b729ac objects=9 used=1 fp=0x000000004f5ae469 flags=0x200000000010200(slab|head|node) [ 10.062433] Call Trace: [ 10.062673] dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x44 [ 10.062865] slab_err+0x90/0xd0 [ 10.063619] __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x13b/0x2f0 [ 10.063848] kmem_cache_destroy+0x4a/0x110 [ 10.064058] __x64_sys_delete_module+0x265/0x300 This is caused by dax_fs_exit() not flushing inodes before destroy cache. To fix this issue, call rcu_barrier() before destroy cache.
