Title:
  Memory arena corruption with FUSE (was Memory allocation failure
  crashes kernel hard, presumably related to FUSE)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Wily:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in linux package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  == SRU Justification ==

  Impact: Races in fuse's synchronous io handling can result in use-
  after-free bugs which are causing kernel crashes.

  Fix: Two commits from fuse-next, one which simply caches the result of
  a test to avoid a use-after-free and another which adds reference
  counting to the fuse_io_priv struct to get rid of some convoluted
  rules for determining when this structure can be freed.

  Test case: Tested on LP #1505948.

  Hello everybody,

  Linux 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3-rc leads to an immediate kernel panic in our
  setup when trying to start a Qemu process on top of a fuse-based
  mount. Here is an example stacktrace:

  The problem has also been documented by somebody else in the Fedora
  bug tracker at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1254310

  This behaviour is 100% reproducible. I have asked the fuse-devel
  mailinglist for advice, but up to this point with no success:

  http://sourceforge.net/p/fuse/mailman/message/34537139/

  We are still investigating if this issue is also happening with 4.0
  and will add the information to this bug report once we have it. Any
  help on debugging will be greatly appreciated.
