b0841eefd969 ("configfs: provide exclusion between IO and removals")
uses ->frag_dead to mark the fragment state, thus no bothering with extra
refcount on config_item when opening a file. The configfs_get_config_item
was removed in __configfs_open_file, but not with config_item_put. So the
refcount on config_item will lost its balance, causing use-after-free
issues in some occasions like this:
Test:
1. Mount configfs on /config with read-only items:
drwxrwx--- 289 root root 0 2021-04-01 11:55 /config
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2021-04-01 11:54 /config/a
--w--w--w- 1 root root 4096 2021-04-01 11:53 /config/a/1.txt
......
2. Then run:
for file in /config
do
echo $file
grep -R 'key' $file
done
3. __configfs_open_file will be called in parallel, the first one
got called will do:
if (file->f_mode & FMODE_READ) {
if (!(inode->i_mode & S_IRUGO))
goto out_put_module;
config_item_put(buffer->item);
kref_put()
package_details_release()
kfree()
the other one will run into use-after-free issues like this:

To fix this issue, remove the config_item_put in
__configfs_open_file to balance the refcount of config_item.
