David Howells 8f868d68d3 pipe: Fix missing mask update after pipe_wait() 
Fix pipe_write() to not cache the ring index mask and max_usage as their
values are invalidated by calling pipe_wait() because the latter
function drops the pipe lock, thereby allowing F_SETPIPE_SZ change them.
Without this, pipe_write() may subsequently miscalculate the array
indices and pipe fullness, leading to an oops like the following:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in pipe_write+0xc25/0xe10 fs/pipe.c:481
  Write of size 8 at addr ffff8880771167a8 by task syz-executor.3/7987

    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

This is not a problem for pipe_read() as the mask is recalculated on
each pass of the loop, after pipe_wait() has been called.

README 

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 Restructured Text 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.
