In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bcache: fixup btreecachewait list damage
We get a kernel crash about "list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev (ffff9c801bc01210), but was ffff9c77b688237c. (next=ffffae586d8afe68)."

bchbtreecheckthread() and bchdirtyinitthread() may call mcacannibalize() to cannibalize other cached btree nodes. Only one thread can do it at a time, so the op of other threads will be added to the btreecache_wait list.
We must call finishwait() to remove op from btreecachewait before free it's memory address. Otherwise, the list will be damaged. Also should call bchcannibalizeunlock() to release the btreecachealloclock and wake_up other waiters.
