In try_to_merge_free_space we attempt to find entries to the left and
right of the entry we are adding to see if they can be merged. We
search for an entry past our current info (saved into right_info), and
then if right_info exists and it has a rb_prev() we save the rb_prev()
into left_info.
However there's a slight problem in the case that we have a right_info,
but no entry previous to that entry. At that point we will search for
an entry just before the info we're attempting to insert. This will
simply find right_info again, and assign it to left_info, making them
both the same pointer.
Now if right_info _can_ be merged with the range we're inserting, we'll
add it to the info and free right_info. However further down we'll
access left_info, which was right_info, and thus get a use-after-free.
Fix this by only searching for the left entry if we don't find a right
entry at all.
The CVE referenced had a specially crafted file system that could
trigger this use-after-free. However with the tree checker improvements
we no longer trigger the conditions for the UAF. But the original
conditions still apply, hence this fix.

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.
