Subject: Coverity: jbd_unlock_bh_journal_head(): Memory - corruptions
Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2019 17:35:18 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201911111735.5CD206D@keescook> (raw)
Hello!
This is an experimental automated report about issues detected by Coverity
from a scan of next-20191108 as part of the linux-next weekly scan project:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan
You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified
lines of code (noted below) that were touched by recent commits:
c290ea01abb7 ("fs: Remove ext3 filesystem driver")
Coverity reported the following:
*** CID 1487847: Memory - corruptions (ARRAY_VS_SINGLETON)
/include/linux/jbd2.h: 351 in jbd_unlock_bh_journal_head()
345 {
346 bit_spin_lock(BH_JournalHead, &bh->b_state);
347 }
348
349 static inline void jbd_unlock_bh_journal_head(struct buffer_head *bh)
350 {
vvv CID 1487847: Memory - corruptions (ARRAY_VS_SINGLETON)
vvv Passing "&bh->b_state" to function "bit_spin_unlock" which uses it as an array. This might corrupt or misinterpret adjacent memory locations.
351 bit_spin_unlock(BH_JournalHead, &bh->b_state);
352 }
353
354 #define J_ASSERT(assert) BUG_ON(!(assert))
355
356 #define J_ASSERT_BH(bh, expr) J_ASSERT(expr)
If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):
