+Subject: [PATCH hurd 2/2] ext2fs: fix pager use-after-free
+
+Previously, pagers had no reference for being part of a node, only for
+having a send right made for them. Hence we sometimes saw
+use-after-free errors if the kernel did give up that send right,
+typically while deleting files. Keep a weak reference as long as the
+pager is referenced by a node.
+
+* ext2fs/pager.c (pager_clear_user_data): Assert that 'pager' has been
+NULLed.
+(pager_dropweak): Drop the weak reference and NULL 'pager'.
+(diskfs_get_filemap): Simplify. Acquire a weak reference.
