[PATCH] drivers:md:fix a potential use-after-free bug

From: Wentao_Liang
Date: Wed Jul 27 2022 - 23:40:24 EST


In line 2884, "raid5_release_stripe(sh);" drops the reference to sh and
may cause sh to be released. However, sh is subsequently used in lines
2886 "if (sh->batch_head && sh != sh->batch_head)". This may result in an
use-after-free bug.

It can be fixed by moving "raid5_release_stripe(sh);" to the bottom of
the function.

The bug has been confirmed by Song on 2021-08-14. Now, I resend this
patch with my real name. I hope the patch can be updated in a near
future.
