commitccd3c4373eupstream. The code cleaning transaction's lists of checkpoint buffers has a bug where it increases bh refcount only after releasing journal->j_list_lock. Thus the following race is possible: CPU0 CPU1 jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() __journal_try_to_free_buffer(bh) ... while (transaction->t_checkpoint_io_list) ... if (buffer_locked(bh)) { <-- IO completes now, buffer gets unlocked --> spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock); spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock); __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint(jh); spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock); try_to_free_buffers(page); get_bh(bh) <-- accesses freed bh Fix the problem by grabbing bh reference before unlocking journal->j_list_lock. Fixes:dc6e8d669c("jbd2: don't call get_bh() before calling __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint()") Fixes:be1158cc61("jbd2: fold __process_buffer() into jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()") Reported-by: syzbot+7f4a27091759e2fe7453@syzkaller.appspotmail.com CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
