Matthew Wilcox 4ecd9542db ida: Free correct IDA bitmap
There's a relatively rare race where we look at the per-cpu preallocated
IDA bitmap, see it's NULL, allocate a new one, and atomically update it.
If the kmalloc() happened to sleep and we were rescheduled to a different
CPU, or an interrupt came in at the exact right time, another task
might have successfully allocated a bitmap and already deposited it.
I forgot what the semantics of cmpxchg() were and ended up freeing the
wrong bitmap leading to KASAN reporting a use-after-free.

Dmitry found the bug with syzkaller & wrote the patch.  I wrote the test
case that will reproduce the bug without his patch being applied.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
