[PATCH] pipe: fix potential use-after-free in pipe_read()

From: Zhen Lei
Date: Thu Nov 17 2022 - 06:54:01 EST


Accessing buf->flags after pipe_buf_release(pipe, buf) is unsafe, because
the 'buf' memory maybe freed.

In fact, pipe->note_loss does not need the protection of spinlock
pipe->rd_wait.lock, it only needs the protection of __pipe_lock(pipe). So
make the assignment of pipe->note_loss complete before releasing 'buf' to
eliminate the risk.
