Subject: [PATCH 5.4.y] jbd2: fix data-race and null-ptr-deref in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2025 17:49:58 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250620084958.26672-1-aha310510@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025062052-vigorous-overlaid-8bec@gregkh>

commit af98b0157adf6504fade79b3e6cb260c4ff68e37 upstream.

Since handle->h_transaction may be a NULL pointer, so we should change it
to call is_handle_aborted(handle) first before dereferencing it.

And the following data-race was reported in my fuzzer:

==================================================================
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata / jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata

write to 0xffff888011024104 of 4 bytes by task 10881 on cpu 1:

....

value changed: 0x00000000 -> 0x00000001
==================================================================

This issue is caused by missing data-race annotation for jh->b_modified.
Therefore, the missing annotation needs to be added.
