There is a race condition leading to a kernel crash from a null
dereference when attemping to access fc->lock in
fuse_uring_create_queue(). fc may be NULL in the case where another
thread is creating the uring in fuse_uring_create() and has set
fc->ring but has not yet set ring->fc when fuse_uring_create_queue()
reads ring->fc. There is another race condition as well where in
fuse_uring_register(), ring->nr_queues may still be 0 and not yet set
to the new value when we compare qid against it.
This fix sets fc->ring only after ring->fc and ring->nr_queues have been
set, which guarantees now that ring->fc is a proper pointer when any
queues are created and ring->nr_queues reflects the right number of
queues if ring is not NULL. We must use smp_store_release() and
smp_load_acquire() semantics to ensure the ordering will remain correct
where fc->ring is assigned only after ring->fc and ring->nr_queues have
been assigned.

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.
