In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xfs: resample the data fork mapping after cycling ILOCK

xfsreflinkfill{cowhole,delalloc} are both presented with an inode, a data fork mapping, and a cow fork mapping. Unfortunately, these two helpers cycle the ILOCK to grab a transaction, which means that the mappings are stale as soon as we reacquire the ILOCK. Currently we refresh the cow fork mapping by re-calling xfsfindtrimcowextent, but we don't refresh the data fork mapping beforehand, which means that the xfsbmaptrimcow in that function queries the refcount btree about the wrong physical blocks and returns an inaccurate value in shared.

If shared is now false, the directio write proceeds with a stale data fork mapping. Fix this by querying the data fork mapping if the sequence counter changes across the ILOCK cycle.
