Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix timer use-after-free on failed mount
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2021 17:59:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210315165906.2175-1-jack@suse.cz> (raw)

When filesystem mount fails because of corrupted filesystem we first
cancel the s_err_report timer reminding fs errors every day and only
then we flush s_error_work. However s_error_work may report another fs
error and re-arm timer thus resulting in timer use-after-free. Fix the
problem by first flushing the work and only after that canceling the
s_err_report timer.

Reported-by: syzbot+628472a2aac693ab0fcd@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Fixes: 2d01ddc86606 ("ext4: save error info to sb through journal if available")
