When get_block is called with a buffer_head allocated on the stack, such
as do_mpage_readpage, stack corruption due to buffer_head UAF may occur in
the following race condition situation.
<CPU 0> <CPU 1>
mpage_read_folio
<<bh on stack>>
do_mpage_readpage
exfat_get_block
bh_read
__bh_read
get_bh(bh)
submit_bh
wait_on_buffer
...
end_buffer_read_sync
__end_buffer_read_notouch
unlock_buffer
<<keep going>>
...
...
...
...
<<bh is not valid out of mpage_read_folio>>
.
.
another_function
<<variable A on stack>>
put_bh(bh)
atomic_dec(bh->b_count)
* stack corruption here *
This patch returns -EAGAIN if a folio does not have buffers when bh_read
needs to be called. By doing this, the caller can fallback to functions
like block_read_full_folio(), create a buffer_head in the folio, and then
call get_block again.
Let's do not call bh_read() with on-stack buffer_head.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
